Okay for some stupid reason I decided to make my new year's resolution to actually finish and post one fic. Had an idea for a one shot at the time, it failed epically within two hours. Any ways since them my laptop has died and whilst dying of boredom I came up with a new idea for a story and set to work on it. My sis is always hogging mums laptop so I don't often get to use it so I don't know how often I'll be able to update. Fingers crossed I don't burn out before it ends cause I hate when stories are abandoned half way through so I hope if I start to post it will force me to finish.
I'm not the greatest writer and fail at spelling, punctuation and gramma and word can only help so much so apologise in advance.
Sorry if the characters seem ooc at all.
I don't own Devil may cry or any of its characters. just saying.
"Well this is fun." Dante growled to himself not too pleased with how fast his day was going down the crapper. As if the five hour drive and two hour ferry ride wasn't bad enough. He had spent the last hour walking around this dull town searching for the damn voodoo shop, which by the way happened to be hidden away in some tiny back ally no one ever uses which he had walked past four times, four times! Only to find the owner of the place had stepped out and he now had to wait another hour just to get inside the place. It wasn't that it was a bad town, the renaissance architecture, clean streets and the smell of the ocean air. Fortuna was actually quite a pleasant place, a little religious but pleasant.
It was just that he didn't want to be here in the first place. It was his first day off in months and it was meant to be spent sleeping, eating pizza and sleeping some more. Unfortunately Lady had not seen it that way. He had managed to lose her little sack of supplies. Okay not so much lose as burry, under two tone of rubble. Not that it was his fault really, he hadn't meant for the building to collapse. It was an accident, could have happened to anyone. Well anyone who happened to shoot at a Wrath that just happened to be standing by the main support beam. Okay so it wasn't his best idea. But Lady blamed him all the same so he had to spend his day off traveling to Fortuna just to fetch the woman a new bag of whatever it was she had in there. All he had to do was go to the shop and ask for the package for Lady simple right? Too bad his life was never simple.
After standing there staring dumbfounded at the scribbled sign on the shopfront for about five minutes. Dante finally decided to try and find something to pass the time. With a little help from his stomach he decided on food. "This town had better have a decent pizza joint." He sighed as he turned and headed back down the street.
Apparently he had taken a wrong turn at some point; he was no longer on the main street. There were only a few buildings on this block and more spaced out. There were three buildings on the right and two on his left, one of which looked like a small hospital of sorts. Great not only was he wasting his day off not sleeping; now he was lost.
Giving the street another once over he noticed a few people spread around the front yard of the hospital looking structure. Releasing a frustrated sigh Dante decided to kick his manhood back a notch and do the unthinkable... ask for directions.
'On second thought maybe this wasn't such a good idea.' He thought as he neared the place, there were seven people in total five of them wore plain white tees and pale blue sweat pants whilst the other two wore white uniforms with Id tags around their necks. He never was big on uniform, people wearing matching attire not really his thing. Except maybe those nurse or maid uniforms the girls over at Love planet wear on themed nights. Another thing he should have been enjoying on his day off.
Dante made his way across the footpath to the fence where someone was sitting with their back against a tree. "Excuse me." He cleared his throat "You wouldn't happen to be able to help me out with directions would you?" There was a drawn out sigh before the person leaned over peeking around the trunk of the tree before rolling his eyes and moving to stand against the front of the tree.
Dante blinked as the boy peered around the tree, the boy looked around sixteen silvery white hair just like his own, pale skin and bright azure eyes. The teen moved to the front of the tree crossing his arms. A small smirk worked its way to his lips, raising a brow as he spoke. "You sure you want to be trusting directions from the nut house?"
"Nut house?" now it was Dante's turn to raise a brow.
"Yeah nut house as in loony bin, madhouse." The teen lifted his arms to gesture all around him "Welcome to Fortuna's adolescent psychiatric hospital. Full of nut jobs, basket cases and crazies."
"So… You're crazy huh?"
"That's what they tell me." The kid replied.
Dante glanced around the yard, sure it was fenced off but the fence was like what three, four foot high. He looked at the fence then back to the teen. "You don't just jump fence? I mean it's not exactly towering. I'm surprised there aren't loony's just running around town."
"That's what these are for." The kid lifted his right arm gesturing to the small metal bracelet wrapped around his wrist. "They know as soon as you leave the vicinity and it lets them know exactly where to find you. I've already tried."
It wasn't till the kid raised his arm that Dante realised the boys right arm was completely wrapped in bandages.
"What happened to your arm?" the elder asked. The kids gaze shifted to his arm before returning in a slight glare. "I thought you wanted directions."
"No more question ay. Okay whatever; I was wondering how one might find their way back to the main street?"
The teen glared at him for a few more seconds before pointing down the street. "Turn right at the end of the street then go two blocks and turn left, follow that street till it curves, keep heading straight and you'll end up on the main street." The kid then folded his arms again.
"Thanks kid." Dante gave a small salute stepping back towards the street. "Oh one more question if you don't mind. What are you in for? I mean it would be kind of nice to know just how crazy my new GPS is." Dante paused waiting to see if he would get a reply.
The kid snorted before standing off the tree. "I see things that aren't real. They don't exist. They say it was "wild animals" that attacked my brother, a pack of wolves. They weren't there they didn't see what killed him!"
"What did kill him?"
The teen glanced around making sure none of the nurses were watching before walking closer to the fence. Being the curious guy that he is, Dante walked back over to the fence as well. The boy lent over speaking in a whisper. "Devils."
"Devils huh? So what did they look like?"
So the guy was locked up just because of some demon attack. Then again there hadn't been any mention of demon on the island before so the people here probably don't even believe they exist. Who knows maybe the poor kid wasn't crazy after all; then again he hadn't heard of or sensed any demons on the island.
"Sort of like ugly patchwork sack dolls with blades for limbs. Like someone had sewn different bits and pieces together. And one was this fish like thing that swam in the gro…"
"Nero!" the teen tensed as he was interrupted by a butch nurse with brown shoulder length hair. "Enough with the demon talk. They do not exist! And you." She turned her attention to the man in red. "Do not encourage the boy he is sick. He needs help." She snapped then grabbed Nero by the shoulder.
Dante just stood there like an idiot staring as the woman dragged the boy back into the building. He certainly wasn't expecting to be scolded by some big ass butch nurse. "Well guess I better get back to playing delivery boy." Dante sighed as he turned and headed back down the street.
