I do not own Bleach or Devil May Cry. Nor any of the characters.
I am not dead! I just had major writers block but CreedmasterNeo helped me out with that! Thanks a bunch! I will NEVER give up on this fic.
Thanks for the reviews!
This is a filler, thanks to CreedmasterNeo for giving me some awesome ideas! I decided to make this a Orihime X Dante fic. Please no flames and I hope that it doesn't put anyone off from the story! I will have several filler chapters because this is turning out to be too serious!
Dante sighed rolling out of bed to get ready for another torturous day at the hell he called school. He stretched looking around the messy room for something to wear. He was no good at laundry and the dirty,starting to smell really bad pile of clothes was a testament to that. He usually bribed Lady to do his laundry, but seeing as she is in another dimension he couldn't exactly call her up.
He picked up a shirt bringing it to his nose and taking a sniff. He crinkled his nose and threw the shirt down as he muttered to himself digging into the pile of laundry, "What does a man have to do to get some clean clothes around here? Maybe I can ask Ururu to do my laundry...If I asked that red-headed brat he would probably throw them in some crap, before giving them back."
After a minute and still no semi clean laundry, Dante picked up a white shirt that he had at the bottom of his dresser and a pair of pants that were similar to his school ones. He threw them on, while brushing his teeth thinking as he used his free hand to tie the tie, 'I hope they don't notice that I am not wearing the school uniform. Aw hell who am I kidding? That demented teacher will notice and send me to the principal's office. Though I can always weasel my way out of being in trouble. My outfit looks almost identical to the uniform so it shouldn't matter.'
Looking at the clock and seeing that it was thirty minutes before school, he ran to the kitchen and grabbed a cold slice of pizza. He was half way to the door before he went back to the kitchen and grabbed the rest of the pizza before running out the door. He was about to run to school when he ran right into Orihime who was going to see if Dante had already left. The pizza fell to the side-walk to Dante's annoyance. He turned to snap at the person he bumped into, he didn't realize it had been Orihime until she started shouting, "I am so sorry! I didn't see you coming!"
Dante shrugged it off standing up and started to pick up the ruined pizza and the box saying as he dumped it into his trashcan that was at the end of the sidewalk, "Normally I would be happy that a hot babe like you ran into me, but seeing as you ruined my pizza we can't have a party now."
Orihime blushed at that and said picking up her books that had scattered on impact, "Their's no time for that! We have to get to school."
Dante chuckled as he extended his hand to help Orihime up. Still blushing the orange haired girl took his hand. He gently lifted her off the ground and said, "I say we have time to kill."
He didn't actually expect her to skip school with him, since he had run into her he was not stuck going. No skipping at last-minute. He almost wished that he hadn't run into her or that he could get sick and have an excuse to skip. Orihime adjusted her books so they wouldn't fall as she said, "We have to get to school. We have missed a lot of days!"
Dante raised a white eyebrow at that, he said as he walked past her, "Speak for yourself babe. I have been in class daily. Were have you been?"
He noticed the hesitant look in her eyes and the fear of being caught shining brightly as she stammered while trying to catch up with him, "I have not been feeling lately and since I have hung around with Ichigo and the others they have been ill as well."
Dante pinned her against a building out of the view of onlookers and leaned in, he smirked noticing how she blushed when his lips were just an inch from hers before he whispered in a low voice to her, "You'r a horrible liar, babe."
He withdrew and continued walking to school-leaving Orihime to slow her racing heart.
Orihime's P.O.V
Orihime couldn't believe that Dante had seen through her lie like glass. She wondered if she was really that bad of a liar or he was just good at picking out a lie from the truth. Either way she knew he was not as stupid as he tried to make himself look. She thought turning to see Dante's fading figure, 'Why can't I keep myself composed around him? Why do I turn into a blushing idiot? I don't even do this around Ichigo... And most of all why was I disappointed when he didn't kiss me? I haven't known him very long.'
She was still slightly blushing as she got to class and took her seat. The teacher didn't look up as she took role saying when she spotted Ichigo and his friends, "It's kind of all of you to grace us with your presence."
Orihime didn't look the teacher in the eye as she got out her math book. She glanced at Ichigo who was talking to Rukia who had an evil look on her face. She didn't want to know what those two were up to. Most of the time it ended up with her healing Ichigo from his near fatal wounds. She then looked over to Dante who had his booted feet on his desk, he never wore the school issued shoes. He wore combat boots instead and would refuse to change them. Smiling at the thought of him getting so defensive over a pair of boots, she turned back to her book.
Later that day
Dante didn't know why he was at the cemetery and he had no clue what had driven him to a certain grave. He knelt wiping some autumn leaves off the stone and read out loud, "Masaki Kurosaki... This must be Ichigo's mom's grave. He was just a kid, like me when he lost his mom.."
He turned to see Ichigo was there behind him. He wondered why Kurosaki would visit the grave. He overheard Tatsuki saying that his family only came once a year. He crossed his arms asking, "What are you doing here?"
Ichigo crossed his arms as well, his scowl never leaving his face as he answered, "I can ask you the same thing. Can't a person visit their own mom's grave?"
Dante looked down at the innocent polished stone and whispered to himself not even caring if Ichigo heard, "I was never able too."
Ichigo's eyes widened in realization, he said while walking up to the white-haired man, "You lost your mom too. Why can't you visit her grave?"
Dante took the photo he always kept with him out of his pocket looking at the blonde-haired blue eyes woman who was kindly smiling at the camera and said, "Yeah, she died defending my twin brother and me. I am the only one in my family left."
Ichigo looked at the picture that Dante held to the sun to make the picture show up better. He noticed how pretty and kind the woman looked, she reminded him of his mother and he wondered who could kill someone like that, he then remembered that his mother had been killed. He then realized that Dante had said that he was the last in his family, and felt sorry for the guy. He said to Dante, "That must be rough to have no one, though it was my fault my mom died."
Dante put the worn photo away smiling sadly saying in a sad voice, "I can relate. It was my fault my mom and brother died.. If I had done something different with Vergil, I wonder if he would still be alive... If I had been someone different, would my mom still be here? If so would I be in this town right now?"
Ichigo looked at Dante who was sadly looking at Ichigo's mom's grave and thought,'If someone would glance at him, they wouldn't know that he has been through so much.He seems so carefree and flamboyant. Though in reality he keeps all his worries inside.'
Dante smirked turning to Ichigo and said, "Well, I am starving. I am going to go get a pizza."
Ichigo said before Dante could get out of hearing range, "Hey, Dante.."
Dante turned around to look at Ichigo, "Yeah?"
Ichigo didn't know why he was saying this, but he felt as if he could relate to Dante's past and his problems. Though he barely knew the guy. All he knew was that he blamed himself for his mom's death and had strong spirit energy. Just like him, "If you ever get tired of staying at that apartment by yourself, you can always drop in for a visit. I live at the clinic downtown."
Dante turned away joking, "Sorry, I don't swing that way. I am into long hair and boobs."
Noticing the death glare being sent his way, Dante smiled and said before walking home, "I am kidding. I will think about it."
Ichigo watched Dante until he was out of sight thinking the whole time,'That man is just one big puzzle. Hard to figure out, I wonder what happened to his brother. How did he die? Well, maybe one day he will tell me.'Ichigo looked over to a set of graves and said with an annoyed look on his face, "Rukia, you didn't have to stalk me here. Can't some a guy have any privacy?"
Rukia rolled her eyes as she stepped from behind a gravestone and said, "Seems like your becoming friends with him. Don't get too attached. If he turns out to be working for Aizen, then we will have to eliminate him."
He rolled his eyes as Rukia turned and walked away. He had a feeling that they could trust Dante and he was never wrong when it came to things like that.
