A/N: Man, I'm glad to finally get this one off my chest! I think this is the only YYH/DMC crossover in existence and it is also my first crossover! EVER! So, enjoy guys!

Kazuma Kuwabara tried hard to focus on the delicious, refreshing, strawberry margarita mix in front of him and not the nauseating, headache-inducing, spine-chilling amount of demonic energy surrounding the bar.

Of course, it might have just been the several shots of vodka he had before having "dessert".

He and his fellow detectives were chilling out and taking a break from Reikai-tantei business in a place Kurama had suggested. It sounded good at first; a bar where humans and youkai alike could kick back and have a drink.

Goddamn that idiot-kitsune!, Kuwabara bellowed in his head as he felt another wave of demonic energy enter the place.

Yusuke, for the most part,was enjoying himself and gorged on spicy buffalo wings and beer.

"Man, Kurama, this is one hell of a place you found here! How come you've never told us about this before?", the young spirit detective said, taking a swig of his beer again.

His companion, and proprietor of their little "night out", nursed a glass of coke and rum as he chuckled at his companions.

"Frankly? I had to wait until we were all up to the level.", said Kurama with a wry grin.

Yusuke was confused.

"Eh?"

"Ask Kuwabara. He knows. Right?"

Yusuke looked at his rival-slash-bestfriend, whose eyes were darting around and flinching at he slightest noise. He looked at Yusuke with a paranoid gleam in his eyes.

"Don't you feel that? I-it's like the entire place is full of A-class demons!"

Kurama took a sip of his drink.

"The amount of energy typically gathered here would kill anybody who is at B-class or lower. That's why I never brought up the place 'til now."

Yusuke quickly put down his drink and closed his eyes. He began to feel it also. The intense, radiating power. It was coming from a single direction. That's when he noticed the man sitting beside Kuwabara. He was tall and wore a long, blood red trench coat. White, silvery, youkai hair framed his deceptively youthful face; he noticed a slight five 'o clock shadow. Energy and power seemed to radiate off him like an engine. Despite the intimidating aura, he was talking to the pretty barkeep with a suave, flirty tone. The delighted woman giggled and blushed as she poured him another drink.

Yusuke grinned. He drank a bit more of his beer and walked over to the man.

"Hey buddy, you get that drink for free?"

"Huh?" The man's silver eyebrows knitted together as he looked at the young man standing in front of him.

Kurama quickly stood up and started speaking in English.

"You are Sparda's son, am I correct?"

Dante's hand automatically tightened on his drink. Based on experience, anybody, who knew anything about his family history wanted to hurt him, or wanted his help. Sometimes both.

His guns had to be checked at the entrance and he neglected to bring his sword. Trish, who was so adamant about him bringing a weapon of any kind, was going to have a field day if he ended up having to fight.

"Yeah I am. What's it to you, Metro?"

Yusuke and Kuwabara both paled and held back from laughing as they watched Kurama's perfectly groomed eyebrow shoot straight up.. Man, this guy had guts! Nobody had the stones to mention Kurama's rather….androgynous style, not even Hiei.

Yusuke, despite his earlier opinion of the man, now had a type of respect for him, quite similar to the respect he had for daredevils and stunt drivers.

"I fought your father. He was very strong and , for me, quite strange at the time."

The man, to his credit, didn't bother asking how a 19 year old Japanese boy could have fought his father.

"How so?"

"He had the chance to kill me, yet he chose to spare my life."

Kuwabara, who had been listening in on the conversation, was digging into the bowl of peanuts in front of him and sipping his margarita. Man, he originally wanted to go see a movie, but this was MUCH better! Yusuke, on the other hand, was practically trembling with excitement. Whoever this guy was, he was undoubtedly the source of the demonic energy that Kuwabara detected. And despite the man's seemingly good-natured and docile attitude, the half-youkai was already itching for a fight with the man.

The man, who was smiling wryly and taking sips of his drink (from what Yusuke could smell, it seemed to be a combination of Jack Daniels and apple juice) raised his glass and downed the remnants of his drink.

"Here's to my Pops. And to you--"

"Kurama. This is Yusuke and that's Kuwabara."

"Yeah, that. You all Japanese?"

"Yes."

"Okay then! Here's to legalizing gay marriage in Japan. Although you three might have to bypass a few more laws. I think they've got laws against threesome unions there too."

Now, Yusuke never attended any of his English classes and as such had a very poor grasp on the language. He did, however, have an extensive knowledge of street slang and as such caught the word "gay" being spoken. Judging by Kurama's sputtering and Kuwabara's confused look, he decided that he wasn't very far off the mark. Using speed that rivaled Hiei's, the spirit detective charged his fist with spirit energy and let it fly toward's the man's smirking face.

"Hey, I got nothing against it!" It's all cool man!"

Yusuke quickly turned around and saw the man standing there, his hands held out in a placating gesture. Shit, he didn't even see him move! Kuwabara choked on his drink before standing up and readying to activate his Spirit Sword.

Kurama walked in front of his two friends and held out a hand.

"I believe there is a misunderstanding. We are not…er….what you think we are."

The man shrugged. "Okay, I'll bite."

"What the hell is going on here?"

Yusuke and Kuwabara's eyes bugged out as they saw a huge, red demon striding towards them. He wore a large, brown trenchcoat which opened down the middle revealing a muscular trunk with strange patterns. Two stumps protruded from his forehead, giving an illusion of goggles glued to his skull. He was bald except for the perimeter of his head, where a knot at the back tied the remainder of his black hair. His sideburns extended to form a goatee and beard. He blew out tendrils of smoke from the stoagie in his mouth, which glowed red in the dimly lit bar. He stomped furiously over to the white haired man and grabbed the front of shirt.

"You drunk again?"

The man hesitated before answering. "Maybe."

The red demon quickly let go of the white haired man. Yusuke's eyes noticed the red demon's right hand; it was HUGE, made of what looked like stone and had a tiny glass of juice with an umbrella on top clutched in it.

"Go home Dante. When John gets back from Midnite and he hears about you starting a fight again…."

"You automatically assume I started it?"

"I'm not assuming anything! I know you so I'm making an educated guess. What's 'a matter? No clients today?"

"Zilch."

"Go home."

"Fine. 'Night H.B. Say hi Liz and Abe for me"

The red demon grunted and walked off.

The man called Dante looked again at the three spirit detectives and put a hand behind his head.

"Hey listen, sorry 'bout all that."

"It's not a problem." Kurama said, quickly cutting off Yusuke and Kuwabara who were about to say something undoubtedly vulgar.

"You really fought my Dad?", Dante asked.

"Yes. He was a great warrior."

The man smiled tiredly and put down several bills on the counter. He waved to the lady barkeep who waved back with a blush.

"Next round's on me boys. Have a nice night."

Dante stalked off and let himself out the door. Kurama's sharp hearing picked up a motorcycle revving up and zooming off.

Yusuke and Kuwabara were looking at him expectant eyes as the kitsune continued to drink. He looked at his two companions.

"What is it?", he asked.

"Come on! Tell us about this guy you fought! He really beat you?", Yusuke hissed, practically frothing at the mouth.

"And that Dante guy! He was faster than Yusuke! I think he was faster than Hiei!", Kuwabara said, equally ecstatic.

Kurama took another sip of his drink before he began talking.

"Two millennia ago, there was a war. Between the human world and the other world….."

FIN

A/N Part 2: Okay, I lied. I actually have two other cameos here and if you fail to notice the first one, it's out of my hands. The second one's a bit tougher to spot though ;) As for the whole gay marriage thing, just thought I'd put it in there for a bit of realism. And no, don't ask my views on it as its just a tad bit too deep and complicated for me to fathom :P
