Dante and Lady, on another mission again, fighting back to back (literally) in some old building, which actually turned out to be an old warehouse that a demon or (cough cough) hundreds used to conceal their ware bouts. Broken crates lay across the floor in the back of the building, glass shards on the ground from demons jumping through a window or two, and then there was all the human/ demon blood smeared on the walls and across the dusty floor.

"Still keeping up there Lady?" Dante grinned shooting an ugly demon in the forehead.

"You think I WOULD lose to you? HA." Lady deciding that it was time to get rid of the demons pulled out Kalina Ann and took a shot; accidentally taking out Dante's red coat. The glare she received from Dante made her rethink her position. She stood not 10 feet from the devil hunter, too close not only for her to make a run for it (leaving him to deal with the rest of the demons) but also to close to say it was an accident.

"You Bitch! This is my favorite coat."

"You weren't wearing it."

"Do you know how hard it is to get demonic blood out, No." He crossed his arms across his chest and glared at the demons that were dying around him. (He got pissed when his coat was blown away he took it out on them).

"Well sorry, but we still have a job to do; so STOP whining and just do your job." Dante took out one of his guns and shot at Lady. "GOD DAMN IT DANTE SO HELP ME IF I HAVE TO COME BACK THERE AND KICK YOUR ASS….." All Lady heard from Dante for a good five minutes (VERY ABNORMAL…DANTE BEING QUIET?!?!?!?!) was "fucking women……..you started it………demons…………"

Seeing that there was no escape from the hordes of monsters Lady turned to her side and shot at the window.

"SHIT!…Damn it…" Dante turned to look at Lady not stopping in his firing of Ebony and Ivory. "Wha-? How the hell did you shoot yourself." He cocked a grin.

"Fuck you." Dante shrugged and turned back to the demons. "I tried to shoot out the window." Dante's head didn't turn around until she mentioned… "It bounced off the glass dumb-ass, I didn't shoot myself on purpose."

Dante grinned and shot at the window without warning. Again it bounced back; shooting Lady in the same arm, just slightly higher. This rendered her left arm completely useless for the time being; which caused Dante to laugh. "Dante I'm going to fucking kick your demon ass when we're finished!"

Dante shrugged once again, "You're the one who-" "SHUT UP!" Dante started laughing uncontrollably.

Lady was getting annoyed with Dante more than usual. "Dante…." To Lady there was nothing funny about their predicament, she was wounded and Dante was off guard, LAUGHING of all things, in the middle of a war. "Fine, you want to laugh yourself to death be my guest, I'm going ahead to the target." Lady took the first opening and ran to the end wall where the door was left ajar after being kicked in by the idiot, who was still laughing.

Upon realizing that Lady had left Dante slowly stopped laughing, no it really wasn't all that funny but to see the look on her face was priceless she looked so vulnerable. Seeing a emotional Lady was always fun. Sometimes it was anger, other times it was a pissed off emotion. There were very few times when he could see a smile, a joke pass her lips, hell if the woman would just show emotion he would venture to say that she was worthy of his love. (conceded I know…but I thought it would be funny, it also sounds kind of like Dante) .

A purple and green demon ran up to Dante and stabbed Dante's back. The demon had dull green eyes that were staring straight into Dante's as if to draw him away from the battle and into a trans so that he would die. The claws were digging into his shoulder and the demons around them were coming into range where they would be able to attack him like a pack of lions. Dante found this thing on his back to be annoying, it didn't hurt or anything but man, have you ever had a sharp object propelled into your back? It sucks getting out without cutting your insides up…even though they heal right away. "Whoa I'm not into that kind of physical closeness there Purple." The purple demon fell to the ground after getting shot in between the eyes, blood slowly leaked down Dante's back. "Ah, see what I mean Devil blood is a pain in the ass." In no time Dante had exterminated the demons and pulled the blade out of his back, with a minor wince as it went passed something probably rotationally important. The blood ran slowly down his back and onto the hem of his jeans. "Hey LADY!"

No response was heard…so he tried again as he began to walk in her general direction; he doesn't have a clue as to where she would have or could have gone. "LADY!"

Again no response, this time Dante got a little worried, there was no way that he had taken that long to kill a few weak demons, she wouldn't have died and she couldn't have gotten that far ahead of him.

"LADY!"

"What?" Lady appeared in front of him covered in blood. Demon mostly but he could tell that her blood was on there as well.

"Just making sure you're alive. I don't even know what the target looks like."

"uh huh. Ok anyway I found the elevator but it's broken and I think the stairs are going to be crowded, although it's probably the safest bet."

"Would that be an excuse to ride on my back?"

Lady snorted, "You wish. We're taking the stairs." She started for them but was pulled into an embrace, by Dante, and out the window.

Less than a minute later they reached the top of the warehouse. "Ugh, don't you listen to me Dante?"

"No."

"UGH!" She stormed to the end of the roof looked down and gaped.
