N/A: Helloooo… So I don't know if you've heard, but I am currently updating the chapters on my other story "A Devil Has Stolen My Heart". And by updating, I mean editing my chapters that I already posted and fixing some errors and changing up the story a little. And I am about to update this story as well. I only want to improve on my writing skills. But I haven't been working on this story or any for a while and I figured I'd post another chapter or so and edit the ones that I've already posted to improve the story. But I hope that you guys enjoy.
Chapter 1
The wind gushed through the air, clearing out a thick fog that invaded the streets of Limbo. Little scraps of paper, food wrappers, and dried up leaves were also blown away by the wind. The city had an orange glow to it due to the cause of the sun setting. It was quiet. No one was out. The streets were life less and empty. The people of Limbo City knew better than to go prancing around the streets, especially at night, where there were herds of demons lurking about. So for safety measures, citizens start to head inside, lock their doors, close shops, etc. After the hell-gate was broken and the once powerful demon king Mundus was destroyed, the demons merged with the human world and caused panic throughout the nation. But despite the sudden demon epidemic, all hope was not lost.
The wind whipped even harder giving her a slight chill up her spine. She folded her arms and hugged herself hoping it would warm her. Her tan skin began to get goose bumps and the tiny hairs on her arms were standing up. Her jet black hair wasn't done in any style; it stuck out in every angle like a spiky, wild afro (almost like the kind you see in an anime). Her eyes were hazel brown. She wore a burgundy plaid flannel shirt that was unbuttoned revealing her stomach, ripped grey skinny jeans, and black and white converse shoes. She had exotic tattoos on the sides of her stomach. They also ran down from her arms to the tips of her fingers. She had another tattoo on her chest. The tattoos resembled Japanese symbols and writing. Her lips were a blood-red color, although that might've not been her regular red pigment. In fact, it just might've been blood. It was to be expected after just fighting off tons of demons one by one. She'd been trying to get away from them for a while now, but they just keep on coming back. They've always managed to track her down and find her. She'd always wonder to herself if she was on the verge of breaking down and just let the demons have their way with her. But another part of her refuses her to do so and allows her to keep going. She knew that the result of her giving up will not only destroy her but the new life she was keeping inside of her. She couldn't let that happen.
She began to slow down her pace as she felt a sting in her left arm. The pain was so deep that it traveled up to her shoulder and then her neck. She winced at the horrible pain. A tear of blood began to rush down her arm and stopped at her fingertip, dripping onto the concrete. She had a few scratches on her face and a little bite mark on her neck. She gasped at the sudden spike of pain and hurried over to a nearby fire hydrant to lean on. She tried to regain her strength, making golden orange aura surrounded her. The scars on her face began to heal and the wound in her left arm started to close up. She knew this wasn't going to last for long, so she quickly got up and continued walking. Carrying this life inside was interfering with her strength. It was getting harder and harder for her to keep up her energy. Now that the hell-gate was finally broken she could finally walk among the human world. She only knew one person who could help her recover. And she needed to get to him fast before the sun sets.
She peeked around the corner of a brick building making sure there wasn't any danger lurking around. Once the coast was clear, she proceeded to walk down the street. She looked around anxiously as if she were expecting danger to happen at any minute. But she saw nothing but empty street corners and trash blowing in the wind. She looked up ahead to see the reflection of the sun on a tall office building. The sun was almost about to set. She looked in the other direction to see the faint site of the full moon. She could see hints of magenta and mid-blue appearing in the sky. She quickened her pace but made sure it wasn't to the point where her wounds would open back up.
She closed her eyes. Dante, where are you? she thought to herself. She began to glow. She opened up her eyes as they changed and became serpent-like. They were a red-ish orange with a hint of gold and hazel. She looked up into the sky. Her vision appeared infer-red making the sky look a bit purple-ish to her. She saw a familiar scent floating in the sky. It went straight ahead then made a right then another right and finally a left. She closed her eyes again then reopened them, magnetizing her vision. She saw a big tall office building with the name "DmC Devi May Cry" on top in a white graffiti font. She concentrated and looked harder. She could see inside the office building. She saw infer-red life forms of people. They looked like women dressed in tight dresses running back and forth with papers in their hands. She concentrated once more. She followed the scent leading her to a big door with a sign that read "Dante's Office: I'm busy, so FUCK OFF!" She chuckled. Typical Dante she thought.
She found his location at last. Now she knew where to go from there. But before she could continue her walk, she felt a rumble underneath the ground. She tried to steady herself and keep herself from falling. Just up ahead was a giant crack forming in the middle of the street. It began to grow bigger splitting to the sidewalk. The force of the massive quaking caused a few car alarms to go off. As the crack began to split, an unfamiliar figure began to rise. She stepped back cautiously staring at the strange figure rising from the ground in horror. As the figure finally reached the surface her eyes grew wide.
"Shit, a hunter!" she cursed under her breath.
The hunter was bigger than usual. Its black leather skin throbbed. It had black fur surrounding its head sort of like a lion. Its claws were long and menacing. It had a few odd weapons on its back. Its teeth were sharp and spiky. Its eyes were cold and dark. It had a large split in the middle of its head.
"Dan-TEEEEEE!" roared the ugly creature.
"Dante?" she gave a confused look. She held onto her stomach.
She quickly avoided a claw from the hunter. She jumped back and readied herself in her stance. She reached behind her summoning her sword, a black katana with a black blade. At the end of the handle were two decorative beads, one red and the other blue. She removed the sword from its sheath and the sword began to glow the same aura as her. It quickly transformed into a big gladiator blade. The demon hissed at her and pulled out an odd looking gun. It pulled the trigger releasing a claw into the ground. The ground formed a big giant brick-like hand and it hurled its way towards her. She did a side aerial flip avoiding the giant hand. She spun around and swung her sword at the hunter. The hunter ducked quickly. It chuckled at her miss. But the blade quickly recovered and came back like a boomerang hitting the hunter in the back of its head. The blade left a cut where it struck the hunter. The hunter winced in pain and roared at the girl. She covered her ears at the loud ear bleeding howl. The now pissed off monster ran off into a crowd of office buildings to quickly recover. She grabbed her sword and yelled after the demon.
"Get back here!" she roared.
She ran up the nearest building then hopped from building to building, searching for the monster. There was no sign of it. It was quiet. Then suddenly, the hunter appeared in a black portal behind her and jumped out ready to tackle her. She quickly turned around and jumped out of the way then grabbed her sword with both of her hands ready to strike.
"Hmph… you're a sneaky one, aren't ya?" she mocked with a smirk.
The hunter roared and readied its knife. It jumped up in the air and landed on the ground attempting to stab her. She quick rolled out of the way and sliced at its claw. The monster howled and quickly moved retrieved its claw away from her then swung its knife again. She flipped back out of the way then sliced at its other claw. The hunter was getting frustrated. It jumped back and blew out a black mist covering her entire surroundings. A golden orange blade whipped through the mist heading her way. She quickly jumped over it. The blade recovered and came back again. She did the same and avoided it once more. The blade returned to the hunter after a few failed attempts at trying to cut through her. She was just about to ready herself when she felt a rush of pain shoot through her arm. She winced as the familiar pain traveled through her arm and back up to her shoulder. She grabbed her arm hoping the pain would stop, but it didn't.
"No… not n-now…" she groaned in pain.
They hunter must've noticed her struggling and took advantage of this opportunity. It charged at her like a raging bull. She was heavy and out of breath and began to sweat. She looked up and saw the demon charging after her. Before she could move, she was knocked away by the demon. She skid across the hard roof top and slid off of the building. She was too weak to move and couldn't stop herself. She was falling eight stories to her death. She flopped in the air motionless, eyes closed, awaiting the painful impact of the cold, hard earth.
Suddenly, a flash of red and white passed by and caught her. The flash landed at a nearby park and gently laid her down on the grass. It returned back to the hunter, finishing what she couldn't. She squinted her eyes trying to see who or what it was that saved her. Her vision was blurry, but she could see that the red flash was winning the unfinished fight. She tried to focus her eyes on the red flash. Slowly her vision was clearing up and she could see a bit better. And sure enough it was a person that saved her. She could see white hair, a red coat, and a long sword. She gave a sigh of relief and relaxed her body as she slowly realized the person she was trying to find had already found her.
"D-Dante…"
A/N: After reading this over again, I feel like I should've been posting more chapters. But I'll continue this story. I'll probably be super late with updating again because school back soon for me and I have like two AP classes soooo… yeah I'm probably gonna be busy studying and doing homework and what not. But I don't know… I'll see if I can work on my stories in my off time.
