I don't own devil may cry or Buffy the vampire slayer

"Giles, I'm bored." Buffy said, looking up at Giles. They were in the living room of the Summers residence. Completely and utterly bored. Buffy had just got home from work and there was nothing to do until that night when she had to patrol… again. "Well, Buffy some of the potentials haven't eaten much."

"Why not? There's lots of food here I went shopping last weekend."

"There are um, more people in the house Buffy, I'm afraid you well didn't get enough again"

"Oh…how much do we need?"

"More lets just go Buffy."

"Fine I'll get the car."

Buffy and Giles left the house with plenty of daylight left, they'd get home before dark, which was always a good thing in Sunnydale. "Giles what are these?" Buffy asked, looking at some odd bottle of green liquid

"That would be pickle juice Buffy."

"Ew, do you drink it?"

"Well, no, lets keep moving"

Dante and the three girls were in aisle five. Dante looked at the girls, "Okay what the hell do you guys want for dinner?" His question was replied to with a flurry of answers, few of which Dante actually heard. He held up his hands, "Chinese it is." The girls shut up, thank god. He really needed to find that slayer. She'd probably be patrolling that night; he'd find her then. Until then he had three brats to look after. Then he recognized Giles.

He had worked with Giles before, actually he had followed the old watcher once or twice and found a nest of vamps he was assigned to get rid of. What in the bloody hell is he doing here? Better find out, if Giles was in Sunnydale he was probably the slayers watcher. Follow him to her. Unless she was already there. Was she? There was a young woman with Giles, he noticed. "Rupert Giles" Dante called out.

"Who was that?" Came the reply.

"Ah Rupert what are you doing here, does it have to do with the slayer?"

"What do you care for, and again who are you?" Rupert was always the one for caution, well except for that one time where he was in a band. But that was over thirty or so years ago.

"I've got three potentials with no watchers to give over to the damn slayer." Dante said, time to come clean.

Rupert came running, almost hitting Dante before he could stop. "Slow down old man"

"Buffy come here, quickly come on," Giles sputtered.

"What is it Giles?" Buffy came. So that was the slayer. Dante didn't think she looked like much, but then again no slayer did. "Buffy three more potentials."

"Oh goodie, three more mouths to feed."

"Dante looked at her, "Look lady, I came a long way for these three and you'd better be grateful, and I'd better be getting paid."

"Look umm guy, I'm thankful you gave me three more potentials but what do you expect, my house is not a hotel."

"Good, we're not paying" Dante shot back.

"What makes you think I'm taking you in too?" Buffy asked.

"You said there were more potentials, which means something's going after them and your going to probably need my help to get rid of it." Dante said. He didn't care; he just didn't want to put up the money for a hotel right now.

"We can handle anything that comes our way." Buffy said

"And that's why you've died twice right?" Dante knew about them, whenever a slayer died he felt it. He felt this one die twice and then come back. The second time she came back, she wasn't quite human, but human enough to be more so than he. Hopefully she couldn't sense his powers.

Buffy just glared. How did he know, she felt something around him. She felt something more powerful than she had ever felt, even when she was near Willow. She just didn't know what it was, and until she was sure, he was not getting into her home.

"Well since you know so much about me, lets here a little about you. You're not getting into my house any other way." Buffy still glared at him.

"I'm not an enemy and I'm not like William or Angelus, if that's what your thinking." Dante said. Sometimes he thought he knew too much about demons.

Buffy was shocked. This guy came out of nowhere with three potentials. He knew about Spike, Angel and herself. He wanted in her house, saying he wanted to help but wasn't being honest. She'd need more than that. "Name? What do you do? Why do you know so much? Why do you want to help us? And what are you, I sense something but I don't know what?"

"That's a lot of questions lady."

"And you'll have to answer them all to get into my house and near my friends."

Dante looked for a way around it, maybe…"My names Bob, I read thing, I like the good guys and I'm a half human half money making sex-machine."

"Well that's all well and good, wait, sex-machine?"

"I'm not actually a robot you know."

"Figured that out myself."

"Good for you babe."

Buffy stopped talking. That was ridiculous. Some guy wouldn't pull her around. She turned to the girls. They looked fine a little scared but that was to be expected. One of them said something. "He's really a good guy, miss slayer. He saved our lives."

Well he saved their lives, that didn't mean he was a good guy, he could be a bad guy or not even a guy at all. She was getting sidetracked.

"You know what this is getting bloody boring slayer. Fine my name is Dante; I own a company much like Angeluses detective office. I have three other offices, one in England, One in France and another in Canada. I kill demons and vamps for a job. And I'm just as human as you." Hopefully she wouldn't get the playing of the words. She didn't. Giles nodded and Buffy turned back to him. "Fine you can come, but I'm keeping you on a short leash so I can watch you."

"I said I wasn't a sex robot." Dante shot at her

"Oh shut up." Buffy said, turning away.

Dante sat in his car, following Buffy and Giles back to the home base or so they called it. He strolled up to the door, in no real hurry. Buffy and Giles had already gotten all the groceries inside. The three potentials were inside as well, getting acquainted with the others. Maybe he could sneak by while they were meeting the people in the house. 'Yes its time for stealth mode' He thought as he took his bags and opened the door

"HEY BUFFY WHOSE THE HOTTIE?" Some girl screamed as she tore through the living room, past the three new arrives and straight to him. 'Oh bloody hell' he thought as he dropped his bag and shook her hand, dipping low and kissing the back of it. She giggled. He may not have been a machine but he was still pretty damn good. "Dante at your service…"

"Oh, hi, Dawn nice to meet you would you like to see the kitchen, living room, bedroom, I mean oops. Buffy!" She looked at him a second longer before scurrying back through the living room. "Sorry that was my sister Dawn." Buffy said as she past him

"Where can I put my things?" He asked.

"I don't know, you could take the other side of the basement, if you don't mind Spike's company."

Dante's eyes darted around. Spike was here. He had heard the guy got a soul, which was nice in the way that even though he had a soul, he was a vampire, same kind of thing as Angelus. He'd share the bloody room, but he wouldn't like it. He went downstairs to the basement as quickly as possible. "Hello who the bloody hell are you?" Dante turned around. "Dante fucking Sparda, didn't think I'd ever meet you, you're a bloody legend. It's a wonder the slayer doesn't know about you. She could learn from you"

Dante dropped his bags. "I'll be staying down here with you, and no telling the slayer about me, it's my job to be full of surprises. And no touching the merchandise." He said as he unloaded his things, first Cerberus, then Alastor and Beowulf. Once everything but Agni, Rudra and Sparda were out. Dante spoke "Look Rudra. If he touches any of the arms or guns though yell for me and I'll kick his ass"

"Yes master" came the ruffled reply from the bag. Dante nodded and took them out. After placing them of a shelf he heard the slayer getting ready to leave. "She goes patrolling in the cemetery almost every night, maybe you should go teach her some real fighting." Spike told him.

Dante nodded and kept the Sparda in the bag, a sword like Sparda couldn't be put out on display especially when he was going to keep a low profile about the fact he was a half devil. He grabbed Rebellion, one of his favourites and Cerberus. He grabbed Ebony and Ivory and put them in their holsters putting the special vampire magazines in his pockets. "You know, Spike I guess it is now. I think I will check this slayers skills."
