Mission 02: Devil May Cry

"Thank you, Dante, I owe you one," as I said that, a smirk quickly appeared on his lips, making me slightly curious as to what was going through his head at that moment.

He got up off his swing and crouched down in front of me, "you owe me, huh? Well, how about we hang out and call it even?"

I was a little surprised when he said that. Well no duh, Jade. He already said that he wasn't trying to get you home. I cleared my head of any thoughts before I blurted any of it, "sure, when and where?" I couldn't help but to smile, secretly feeling incredibly excited.

After he stood up again, he looked to be wondering about it before finally deciding, "maybe at my shop, tomorrow afternoon at about two?" he grinned even more than before, and trying not to look too eager, I took a moment before nodding and smiling back, "its called 'Devil May Cry', hard to miss, but I'll give you my card anyway," he dug his hand into his pocket before pulling out a small card and handing it to me, right as his phone rang.

Apologizing, he turned away and started talking to the person on the other end, allowing me time to look the card over. It was completely black, the store logo in red, and the rest of the writing in white. It was simple, yet nicely done, making me wonder if he did it himself or if someone else did it for him.

After he stopped talking on the phone, he put it away and walked back over to me, "sorry, gorgeous, but I have to go now. I have a job to do," he held his hand out for me to shake it, "I look forward to tomorrow," he gave me another one of those smirks as I placed my hand in his.

"It's okay, I'll see you at two, then," I was happy and incredibly nervous, but returned the friendly smile as he let go of my hand. Then, as soon as he had appeared, he was gone.

-The Next Morning-

I stepped out of the shower and looked at my clean clothes on the bathroom floor. It had taken a few hours to finally decide on wearing my dark blue denim shorts, a black tank top and ankle high black socks. After putting on my underwear and my shorts, I started using the hair dryer until my hair was soft and fluffy, brushing it back down into its natural style. I picked up my top and pulled it on quickly, followed by my socks as I walked out of the bathroom and into the kitchen where my father was trying to learn a new recipe.

"Ah! Jade, perfect timing," he shuffled over to where I was standing and pulled me across to the stove, "I need your opinion on the soup". Vegetable soup… How very original of you, dad. I picked up the spoon and dipped it in, bringing it to my mouth and tasting it. Potato, pumpkin, carrots, peas…

"Well," I sounded thoughtful, "add a little more sauce, and let some cabbage dissolve into the soup. It'll be perfect," I smiled, placing a kiss on his cheek, and adding, "I'll be back later tonight, going to go hang out with a friend today," as I was walking off, I could hear him chuckling and saying to himself about how I wont be back until tomorrow morning and a few other things that I didn't quite hear clearly enough.

Pulling on my shoes, I opened the door and went outside, walking out of the gate and trying to follow the small map I got out of my pocket. So I take a left here, and then continue on for a few blocks, then turning right…After following the map for at least an hour, I found myself coming to yet another dead end. "Why the hell can't I follow a simple map?" I grumbled, frowning at the piece of paper in my hands. Turning around, I walked back to the corner of the street, looked up at the sign and back down at the paper again. It was then that I saw my mistake. I was in the wrong area of town, and needed to head north-east some more. There was the sound of laughter behind me. By the sounds of it there were several males, and they didn't sound to be too far away either.

"Is this little kitten lost?" one of the voices asked, making the others laugh again. I turned around quickly to face them. I could count seven of them, almost all of them holding alcohol in their hands. Shaking my head no, I faced the street I originally came from, away from the men, and started walking down it, fast paced. "Hey, kitten, come back here," he sounded angry now, "we're trying to help you, you know?" the others cheered and whatnot in agreement.

The fact that they were still just behind me making me scared. I took an immediate right and headed up a small and narrow pathway, hoping that it would get me away to someplace safe. A hand grabbed roughly onto my shoulder, forcing me into the high chain fence that was on my left. "I told you to come back over to us, you stupid little girl!" his voiced was raised so loud I was surprised that no one heard.

"There you are, babe," a softer, deeper and more familiar voice stated calmly beside me, "I've been looking for you everywhere…" a hand pressed into my lower back and another on my shoulder. Looking at my rescuer, I saw silver hair and ice blue eyes, my heart suddenly beating rapidly, as I recognized that it was Dante. How did he know where to find me? My mind was racing but I kept drawing blanks, struggling to think clearly.

"And who do you think you are? Butting into our fun like this. This kitten is with us," the man sounded deadly, like he was just about to bite someone's head off if something else went wrong for him. I hated to think about what he might be thinking at this moment.

"I don't think you're in a position to question me. But if I ever see you lot come near my girl again, well, lets just say that the result won't be in any way pretty," Dante's voice had become even lower, almost sounding like an animal growl. He started pulling me away with him, I didn't resist in the slightest, feeling very relieved to be getting away from those drunk monsters.

-A Couple Hours Later-

As I started to wake up, I could feel sheets all around me, and the room glowing a golden colour from the sun hanging low in the sky. I sat up, taking in my surroundings; a bedside table on one side, clothes drawers on the other side underneath the window, and a closet near the open door. Those, and the double bed I was sitting on, the sheets a deep red, the blankets thrown at the end of the bed a shiny black.

Stretching, I stood up and walked out of the bedroom and into the hallway, following it to the stairs and walking down into an office/lounge room. Dante was sitting at the desk on one side of the room, leaning back with his feet propped up on the desk and his eyes closed. He looked peaceful and rather cute, a blush creeping its way into my cheeks. I wasn't sure if I should wake him or not.

Before I had the chance to make up my mind, the large heavy doors, that I guessed were the front entrance, groaned loudly as they were forced open, a thin and well shaped lady standing in the doors. "Devil May Cry isn't open, come back tomorrow," Dante spoke loudly, irritated, his eyes staying shut.

This caused the woman to laugh, flipping her blonde hair back behind her shoulder. "So, you're the new toy Dante was excited about bringing here? Ha, I expected someone more… Grown up?"

Author's Note: Again, all of the rights etc for Devil May Cry aren't mine and belong to Capcom. Storyline and Original Characters are mine.
Well, here's chapter 2, I finally finish editing to make it work :) and, a couple of things. First, the card: Dante could've done it himself or something, or he could've had Lady work it all out for him (though making him owe her even more money), possibilities are endless, and I'll leave it up to you to decide what to think (unless I eventually add something into the story) - you can leave ideas for it to be added, as long as it's got good taste. And second: I know Dante doesn't attack humans or anything, but please just go along with it for now, I shall make up for this later on.
And again, please leave me some review's, as a new author for fanfic's, I'd really love to get some :) hope you're enjoying this story
