NEW CHAPTER!!!

01/06/09

Honestly tell me if this sucks as bad as I think its probly going to but hey, its work...if I don't like how it turns out I might re-type it.


She leaned over the back of the old couch, against her will. A tall demon stood in front of her. "…Dante…MOVE."

Said demon moved closer, well if it was possible it seemed he moved closer. With his left hand he held both her tiny wrists, and with his right he rested it on the couch. "Tisk tisk Lady, you should know better then to challenge me."

Lady scoffed. "I didn't challenge you."

He raised his eyebrow and pressed closer…again. "Lady…" Her breathe caught in her throat but she managed to say his name; maybe it came out slightly breathless because Dante's eyes danced with more amusement. "Don't get any ideas."

"Oh. I'm not supposed to get ideas? Well that's very funny seeing as you're the one out of breath." He grinned when he saw her blush.

She turned her mismatched eyes away from him. "I know I'm attractive Lady but I never thought you'd fall for a demon…."She could hear a hint of hurt in his deep voice when he said "demon."

"I don't find demons attractive." she tried to fight the urge to look at him, not wanting to be the cause of his pain. "I need to go."

"Hmm" surprisingly he let her go. Thoughts swirling in his mind. "See ya." He sat at his desk, swung his legs on top the desk and pulled out a magazine to read. This was his way of ignoring her and not hurting her more than he already had. Dante's mind was going wild. Thoughts like she doesn't love me, she doesn't even acknowledge his human side floated around.

"Bye." Lady left Devil May Cry and went down a couple of blocks in the rain and snow. They both knew she would be back. Heck they both knew she was injured and where she was going, not that she would know he knew.

Lady stopped in front of Dante's ex-hangout place. "Love Planet". Since Dante had stopped coming there Lady had picked up a job there. It would have made Dante make crude comments and she would have had to quit. When she wasn't working however she was quite the drinker.


Dante sat on his chair and waited for her to come back. Hoping she might come back. After two hours of sitting in the same position Dante got up, grabbed his red trench coat and left the shop. The walk to the "Love Planet" took longer than he remembered, the streets deserted, skies dark with a new storm bluing. With a sigh he opened up the big oak door and stepped inside. Lights flashed around and it was crowded and loud. He Scand the crowd to find the girl. Walking to the bar he found himself getting a drink, maybe she hadn't come here.

He knew how alcohol could make her loosen up; he'd seen her drinking many times; not that she knew. Tonight seemed different, in a way it seemed like something bad would happen and his intuition has always wrong, but he always followed through.

Downing his second glass of whiskey Dante turned to the stage as the stage lights dimmed to a slight glow. Dante put the third glass to his lips and took a sip and choked at what he saw…or rather…lack of.

There in front of him was Lady in what looked like an oversized t-shirt. The t-shirt went to mid thigh, the only buttons were the last three so you could see the (insert Dante's gulp and choking sounds here) bright red bra. Upon closer inspection Dante saw she was drunk, to most people she would appear sober and very uh the word??? Confident. Dante knew better, why else would she have to be drunk to get on stage? Given that she was younger than most the other girls crossed his mind. If she only knew how truly beautiful she was maybe she wouldn't drink herself into messes that he usually cleaned up. (Again she didn't know.) It was then that he noticed Lady and three other girls were stripping each other as the normal for the dances and playing on stage, but it wasn't at all like it used to be. He wasn't turned on by the other girls, he didn't have thoughts about them, he could only stare at Lady. Once their dance ended and they had disappeared to the back Dante had disposed of the first man in line to meet Lady for the night. He was led to the back rooms deep royal blue walls, soft velvet chairs lined the walls and a bed in one room brought back memories for Dante, non that needed to be remembered now. Certainly not now. Once he got to the back he found all the girls drinking as if they hadn't drunk enough.

"Hey Lady." She visibly froze hearing his voice. "Awe your getting drunk and putting on a show." He hated how cold his voice sounded but how else should it sound when the woman he wanted paraded around in nothing less than her bra and underwear? Not even to people she knew, or somewhat trusted? Even though he suspected that she truly did care.

She glared at him as she went to find her clothes. Once found she went behind a screen and changed. Getting pissed off as dante made comments once again.

"Awe. She's shy, why? You can parade around out there but once I come it's strictly non-show."

"Shut up ass-hole." Dante glanced at the blonde who was pouring more Vodka into her glass.

"Fine lets go…" Lady stormed past Dante and out the back door.

The walk back to Devil May Cry was quiet and tense; it started snowing on their way back. By the time they reached the shop they were covered in snow although with Dante's hair you couldn't tell. No words were spoken as Dante took his place at his desk and Lady went to the kitchen for food. She eventually came out of the kitchen with chips and salsa. Plopping down on the couch facing away from the devil hunter, receiving a glare she didn't know she was getting.

Around two-thirty in the morning Dante walked over to the couch and noticed she was still awake. She glanced at him and then quickly away but not before he noticed the sadness, guilt and hurt in her eyes. She was curled up on one side of the couch giving him plenty of room to sit. He did something she didn't expect, moved her left and sat down covering his lap with her keys.

They sat like that for a while just watching random TV shows. Finally as light came in through a window Lady sat up and kicked Dante's leg. "Wake up."

"I wasn't sleeping."

"I know."

"So you kicked me."

"You deserved it." All he did was raise an eyebrow, but hey they were talking.

She got up stumbling along her way to the bathroom. Once she returned to the room Dante threw keys at her. "What's this for?"

"I want beer. Lets see how well you can hold your alcohol against a pro." (Insert trade-mark smirk)

"This early?"

"Yup. Unless you're chicken." She flipped him off and shook her head, grabbed her jacket off a coat hook and left the shop.

After a while dante got annoyed at her not showing up with his beer. His annoyance turned to worry after an hour passed and she still wasn't back. Walking into the kitchen dante noticed two things wrong. First he was out of food and beer. Secondly she left her weapons there, on the middle of the table. "Fuck." He grabbed a gun and spun around toward the door. After a few steps he spun back and grabbed another gun, can't be too sure if they'd run into demons. Unknown to Dante things were about to become worse than he could ever imagine.

Ok guys…review…because I need ideas…ill give you all cookies if you come to the dark side?????????
