Chapter 3: Meeting Dante
For the rest of that morning they shared little bits of information about themselves with each other. Kyrie learned a lot about this young girl that made her heart clench and want to hold her again. She always had everything she wanted maybe being the songstress had it's perks.
"I kinda' remember mommy's face.. She was really pretty and had dark brown eyes.. I think her hair was red. I.. can't remember." Trinity thought back to times of them living in the shack right outside Fortuna. Before it burned down..
"Oh, I almost forgot to ask.. How old are you sweetheart?" Kyrie asked, she seemed pretty young.. But far too intelligent for the ages that Kyrie had guessed in her head. Simply because most children would have broken down and cried seeing that they were somewhere they didn't know.. This girl seemed to logically think it over.
"I'm 13." Trinity chirped with a small smile from being called sweetheart again.
Kyrie thought it over, she didn't seem that young.. But she sure looked it. I guess intelligence is something that we all have, but in different levels. "Wow, but you sound so much more mature, I would have never guessed." She said trying to make a funny.
Trinity giggled a little, "Really?"
The songstress nodded, "Yup!" A series of giggles and bright-eyed smiles were shared as Nero walked back in through the door. He'd went out to do a little round-the-block check. He would have done a full check but Dante wasn't here to make sure nothing came by and hurt Kyrie while he was gone. Speaking of which.. Where was Dante? He should be back by now..
Trinity stopped smiling and looked over at Nero's slightly hunched over form walk through the doors and plop down across the way on the sofa across from theirs.
"Anything?" Kyrie asked, a small smile still on her face.
Nero shook his head, "Nope.. It's pretty barren. Just like last night.. All except for that one.." He trailed off and sighed, fiddling with the end of the sleeve that hid his devil bringer.
Kyrie raised a brow slightly in question, "Are you alright, Nero?"
Nero didn't look up, "Kinda.. Dante should have been back by now. He's never out this early. He should have came back an hour ago and have fallen asleep.. Like usual."
Dante?Trinity thought about the name a little.. It was kind of familiar, like she'd heard it once or twice in the past.
Kyrie bit her lip and thought about it a little, "You sure he's not out eating at some fancy pizza parlour or something?"
Nero made a face, "Ha-ha, very funny.. But no, he's gets his stuff delivered. The man likes his food brought to him." He huffed, "I would know.. He tried making me run out to get him stuff like that all the time, it didn't go over so well."
Flashback
Dante had his feet up on his desk and his hands behind his head relaxing. Nero had just gotten in from battle with a hoard of scarecrows so he was panting and practically fell onto the sofa adjacent to Dante.
"Hey kid, we're out of pizza."
"Mmgg.."
"The hell was that all about? Didn't you hear me?"
"MMNNH."
"Pizza.. We have none."
Nero lifted his head up to speak clearly now, "So?"
"You think pizza grows on trees?"
Well it IS a vegetable, right?
"No?.. what are you getting at?" Nero grunted a little.
"Jesus, kid.. I thought you were smarter than this.. Go get me a pizza." He chuckled and folded one foot over the other atop his desk.
Nero looked taken back by this request, more like.. Order. "I'm not your bitch, go get your own pizza."
Dante's eyes were closed the entire time so he opened one eye now and scrutinized Nero. "Alright then, Let me rephrase this. Go get me a pizza, Now.. Kid."
"Dante, that stuff may work with other people.. But I'm not your kid, I'm not your bitch, and I'm certainly not your housewife. Go do it yourself." He turned over on the sofa and faced the opposite way.
Dante was already up from his desk and making his way silently over to the laying form of Nero. He had an arm full of books and was about to drop them on top of him. Just as the books hit Nero he jumped up and shot out his devil bringer, grabbing Dante around the leg and tripping him.. He landed flat on his back with an 'oof!' and the fight begun. Several swears and bullet holes piercing the walls later.. They worked it out.
"Nero?" Kyrie's voice broke through his thoughts and he looked up, "Are you sure you're okay.. You spaced out there for a moment." Even Trinity looked a bit irked by this. "Maybe you should go look for him, we'll be fine here." She gave a comforting smile with her hands folded gingerly in her lap.
Trinity glanced up at Kyrie and back to Nero who then sighed and stood up. "Alright then, I guess I'll be back soon.." He said with a slight grunt and began walking over to a corner across the way to grab his sword. He picked it up and slung it over to stay on his back. Trinity's eyes were wide with awe and fright.
Where on earth could someone even BUY a sword that big..
Nero went over to Kyrie and bent over to kiss her on the cheek, "Stay safe, I'll be back before you know it, Dante or no Dante."
"Name dropper." Came another male voice and they all looked over to see Dante standing there in the doorway. Well, that made Nero feel a little better.. At least now he wouldn't have to go out and look for the bastard… He came right to him.
Trinity locked on the man who just walked in, supposedly. He looks just like Nero, but scarier.. And a lot older. Ew.
"You sure took your dear sweet time out today, what was so important?" Nero asked with his arms folded, now standing straight up and right in front of the couch.. Almost like he was shielding Trinity from Dante for the time being.
"Well you see.. Lady too-…" He stopped talking and sniffed the air a little, "There's someone else here.." He reached into his holster that held Ebony and pulled it out slowly. For once..
Nero stepped to the side, revealing Trinity to him. "Yeah, we know." He said matter-of-factly.
Dante locked eyes with the girl before looking her over and putting his gun back in it's holster. "Where the hell'd she come from?"
Trinity blinked and felt a little nervous being the center of attention and being put on the spot like that. Two men with guns and swords, both almost looked the same and had weird outfits on. Yep, anything to make a 13 year old girl frightened.
Kyrie shared a glance at Nero before speaking now, "Last night.. We were out looking around on the town and we came across a store to go in.. it was locked, but all the lights were on.. Nero said he could tell something weird was up. Just then we heard a scream and went down the road a little ways to see a demon about to attack Trinity here." She put a gentle hand on Trinity's back.
She jumped slightly at the hand before looking down at her hands folded in her lap. I would be dead right now had they not heard me. God must have sent them there on purpose to hear it when it happened. Thank you..Trinity was a firm believer in god and had a really religious viewpoint on things.
Dante gave a moment of thought before speaking, "What'd you do to the demon?" He asked to Nero suddenly.
"Shot it enough to have it melt into the ground.. Guess it went back to where it came from…"
The red-clad man nodded slowly before looking back to Trinity, "You look homeless, kid."
She got nervous again.. Now he was talkingto her. "I am.." She said softly.
"Well it looks like Nero and Song-bird here are gunna' have to play house for a while." He laughed and walked by Nero, but patted his back firmly before walking off.
Nero was jostled forward a little by the swift pats on the back and he rolled his eyes. It was true though. They would have to 'play house' until they could find an appropriate place for Trinity to go. She couldn't stay here forever, that just wouldn't work.
Dante was sitting at his desk now, for once.. Feet weren't up but he was about to. "Well, be a good hostess Nero and show the girl around. Surely you haven't done that yet."
Nero was debating on beating him to a pulp or just up and shooting him there on the spot, instead he bit his tongue and swallowed his pride at the rude remarks. "It's host.. Not hostess.." He commented.
"Nah, I'm pretty sure it's hostess in your case." He shot a wink at Nero but with sarcastic tone and smile. Oooh, Nero wanted to kick his ass so badly right now.
To say the least, Trinity was smiling and actually let out a little giggle. Kyrie smiled too and wrapped her arms around Trinity who still smiled.. Looking back and forth between the two men. No wonder he said it didn't go down very well.. Must be like this all the time.
Nero rolled his eyes yet again, "Alright lets go take a look around, shall we?" He offered his normal hand to Kyrie who took it gingerly and stood up. She held out her own hand to Trinity.
I like these people.. a lot. They're so perfect, in every way. All I want in a family is right here..Trinity didn't know the half of this 'family' yet.. But oh, she will find out soon.
And that concludes chapter 3 for you all. Thank you for the Reviews.. However I ask of you to give me at LEAST 2 more for me to write the next chapter. 2 isn't that big of a number to ask. I'm starting small here. So, yeah.. 2 reviews and you get chapter 4. Also, don't worry.. Things will kick into gear soon here is a little preview into the next chapters coming up so you know what's in store for you. (Also, I apologize for the small chapter.. they will get longer. That's what she said. XD)
Trinity is finally finding her niche in this great big world and starting to grow attached to this family when a big secret about it is revealed to her. What will she do when she's scared out of her wits to even look at them all anymore.. All except for Kyrie. All the trust that has been gained will be lost and a little secret of the whole problem is revealed as well.. Things will never be the same at Devil May Cry.
So yeah, BYE!
