A Demon's Path to Heaven

Chapter 1: Angel in the Arms of a Demon

By: Pandemonium-Virus

------------------------------------------

The tenuous young angel struggled against the immoral shadow creatures. She screeched in agony as they shattered her feeble wings and left her crippled on the bitter gory ground. Assuming she was lifeless, they vanished into the dimness of the night leaving behind precious white feathers that scattered down the dark alley.

The night was silent as Dante sauntered down the street of the empty city with only dim lights coming from a nearby pole. He continued down the street and stopped as soon he noticed the wind carrying white feathers across the street. He stood motionless for a moment concentrating on his surrounding. His eyes amplify as the smell of blood tingled his nostril. He reached for Ebony and retraced the trail carefully in hopes that it will guide him to more than just a dead swan.

Dante turned a corner and gradually made his way down the alley. He saw more feathers along with bloods on cold walls. He shook his head, "What is this?" he smirked, "Someone decided to kill some geese tonight and didn't bother to clean up." His smirk disappeared as he saw a young woman's body laying motionless on the floor. He darted towards the figure and kneeled down to take a closer look. "Shit."

His body winced back in shock as he saw her wings. "Wings?" he mouthed the word in disbelief. Dante placed his guns back in their typical place. He reached out to feel the battered wings, it was soft. The blood was still humid and warm. She could still be alive. Trying to find a pulse, he gently placed his finger on her wrist. There was a slight sign of life as he felt the pulse somewhat beating against his finger. Dante sighed in relief and cautiously lift the wounded angel in his arms. "As light as a feather." he chuckled nervously. "An angel in the arms of a demon," he thought to himself, "it feels strange."

The angel in his arms led out a soft moan. He took one last look at her and moved swiftly down the alleyway.

Moments later, Dante arrived at Devil May Cry. He shifted the angel to one arm and unlocked the door with his other. The half-demon kicked the door opened and headed straight to his bedroom. He gently placed the angel in the center of his pleasant bed and gazed at her. She was brutally damaged.

Dante came back with a first aid kit, he observed the wound and carefully wiped the blood away with a fresh cloth.

Even though the angel was badly beaten, he could still see beauty under all. Her skin was so soft and white like a cloud on an attractive sunny day. Her hair was incredibly silky and shiny. She was dressed in a velvety white gown and had long copper brown hair. "So, there are brunettes in heaven." he smirked. Dante continued to swab the blood away and bandage the wound with great care. He brushed the hair away from her face.

Dante pulled the cover over her body and left the room quietly. The angel needed her rest, hopefully she'll wake up soon to tell him how on earth did she end up on earth. He closed the door behind him and ambled down the stairway to his black leather couch. He tossed his red trench coat aside and slowly drifted off to dreamland.

Hours later, the half-demon woke up and found huge lavender eyes close up to his.

"Whoa!" he screamed jerking himself up the couch. "You surprised me." he sat up and

stared at her.

The angel placed her pale hand on Dante's thigh. A teardrop slid down her cheek. Dante reached out and wiped it away. "You must be a fallen angel." he stated. The angel seemed mystified, but nodded. Dante chuckled, "What did you do that caused the king of heaven to cast you down on earth?"

"I thought you knew." she whispered softly. Her wounds had healed tremendously in one night.

"No, actually I don't know." he answered, "How long have you been up anyway?"

The angel looked devastated, but answered obediently, "I've been up since dawn."

Dante stood up and headed towards the kitchen, "Now, I don't know what angel eat so you gotta help me out. Okay?" He gasped in shock as he felt the fragile body hug him from behind.

"Vergil." she whispered gleefully in his ears.
