"Devil may care?" the sleek words came from Dante. In his hands were Ebony and Ivory, directed at the head of a demon. It didn't struggle, there was no use of it. It could not change the fate that Dante would give it. "Heh. Not this time." And with those last words, he pulled the trigger of his beloved guns with no hesistation. Swiftly, he put them up standing there, watching the demon fall before his feet.
Turning around, his long, red trenchcoat flowed freely behind him. Suddenly, a noise was heard in the half-devil's ears. He stopped, postioning his hands in a quick way to pull Ebony and Ivory out, just in case. Gun shots were heard in the distance.
"What the hell?" Dante said to himself. At that moment, he sped off to the direction of the gunshots.
Coming up to a tall, fallen wall of a building, a light lit the darkness. Dante was mesmirized for a moment. Shaking himself of the trance, he flipped off the back wall, jumping across to where the mystery lay. Flying through the air, Dante caught a glimps of what lay over the wall.
"Who is that?" he said, now completely over the wall. Landing gracefully, he saw what else was there: an Abyss Goat. A smile came across Dante's face as he reached for his sword.
"Let's hope you're a challenge." The monster's attention now was directed all to his new oppenent. Out of the corner of Dante's eye, he saw a person. Though, they hid in the darkness, so Dante couldn't see much of them. Double jumping in the air, Dante leaped upon the Abyss Goat, driving his sword into it's chest. It shrieked with pain, landing on the ground. Blue blood leaked from it's wound Dante had made. The monster growled furiously at Dante, watching his every movement. Suddenly, it bursted forward to him, charging his devil magic up, hoping to destroy the pathetic weakling. Dante put his sword up swiftly and pulled Ebony and Ivory, blasting the monster in mid air. Finally, the Abyss Goat fell to the ground, soaked in blood, and Dante stepped forward; not a scratch on him.
Lookng around, he saw the eyes of the stranger that had been attacked.
"Hey kid!" Dante called, outloud, walking to the dark corner where the stranger sat throughout the whole battle.
"It's alright. It's dead. You don't have to hide." Dante stood for a moment, waiting for a reply. Suddenly, a young man, looked about eighteen or nineteen, stepped from the shadows.
"I wasn't hiding." the young man replied. As he stepped into the dim light, Dante saw him fully. He was tall, about the same height as Dante; his skin was dark, and his eyes......his eyes were an icy blue. They were haunting, sending chills even down the darkest demon's spine. His hair was pure white, almost a bluish tent to it. His voice seemed the most normal of him. What got Dante about the young man, was something he couldn't describe.
*He's the ONE!*
The young man stumbled forward, losing his balance. Dante ran forward and caught the boy from hitting the ground. The young man back away from Dante, glaring at him, watching his every movement. He touched his head, shaking it, as if confused.
"You okay...." Dante made a hand gesture, siganling for the boy's name.
"Ari." the boy finished for him. "And yeah, I'm fine. Just a little dizzy. And the reason I jumped into the shadows wasn't because I was hiding."
"Yeah right." Dante said, turning around from Ari.
"I didn't want a gash from your sword or a hole from your guns." Ari said coldly, obviously a little angry from Dante's comment.
"Good choice. But they would have gave more than just a scratch or hole." Dante said, walking away now.
"You're not human, are you?" Ari said, surprising Dante a little. Dante stopped, turning around to Ari.
"I didn't think so. How could I tell? Well, first, you just defeated an Abyss Goat easily, without even being touched. Secondly, since when can humans fly over walls, without a machine?" Ari smiled a little, meeting the piercing gaze of Dante. "You got the blue blood runnuing through your viens, don't you?" Dante stood for moment, showing no emotion whatsoever.
"Smart kid." Dante said, stepping closer to the boy. "So why aren't you running?" Suddenly, a red flame came into Dante's eyes, he seemed to be growing taller. "Why are you just standing here?" Ari sucked in his breath. And for a quick second, Dante thought he saw the same red flame in his eyes, that was now in the new friend he'd made. Ari turned away, and was silent for a moment. Dante chuckled slightly, and once again begun to walk away.
*Don't lose him! Follow him, you fool! Follow HIM!*
And at that moment, Ari staggered forth, darkness taking his eyes slowly.
"Wait!" he called out, but then hit the ground. Dante kept walking, aware of Ari's collapse. He got a couple more feet away, but then stopped. Something was holding him back. Something was telling him to stay with the boy. And for an odd reason, Dante couldn't ignore it. He turned around for the last time and walked to Ari. Taking off his long trench coat, he layed it over the cold, slender but muscular, body of the boy. Dante picked his up and carried him over to the back wall, laying him against it. As he layed him down, a piece of his clothing ripped off, revealing some skin of his left shoulder. Immediately, something caught Dante's attention.
"What the hell is that?"
