Explanation and Exasperation
"I don't "haunt" anything." Danny huffed, crossing his legs and floating in midair with ease.
"Then explain why you're seen around the school so much."
"It's where the other ghosts like to attack, I defend the town from other ghosts, shouldn't that have been obvious earlier?" Nero paused, thinking through his own idiocy at not catching that fact and pressed onward, decidedly ignoring it.
"Why though, why protect humans?"
"Because they're not strong enough to protect themselves." Danny said softly and Nero felt his eyes widen, that's what Dante always said too and that was what he often found himself thinking.
"Now. Do you have any more questions for me or can I go now?" the half ghost said, tilting to the side slightly, Nero sighed and released the ward, Danny felt the shift in the air and turned invisible before diving through the bedroom wall into the safety of his own room.
"Good god what is that guy…?" the ghostly teen murmured to himself before shaking his head, it would do him no good to worry about it now.
Meanwhile Nero still stood in the middle of his own room processing the information he'd gleaned. The ghost kid had died at home of electrocution and protected the town from other ghosts, was that his obsession? Some tie to the people of the town to the point where he had to protect them or was it something else, something more simple? Did he just have some sort of hero complex? That seemed the more likely of the two answers and Nero sat, crossing his knees and staring at his hands while his mind whirled at a million miles per minute, going in circles upon circles upon circles… the demonic teen was knocked out of his thoughts by his phone buzzing, he picked it up to see that Kyrie had texted him, wanting to Skype, he grinned, this was just what he needed.
"Hey," he said upon the video loading.
"Hey," Kyrie grinned, her video a little laggy but it still warmed his heart to see her smile. "How's the mission going?" she asked, switching languages for comfort and secrecy.
"Pretty good… I think…" the teen's girlfriend raised an eyebrow and looked at him, that look alone brought him down and he sighed.
"Well I just had a conversation with the ghost I'm supposed to be investigating."
"That's good isn't it?" the songstress asked, her eyes full of hope.
"Sort of." Nero replied, rubbing at his nose a little and decided to lay it all on the table, he explained all that he could to Kyrie and the redhead was quiet the whole time, only giving small hums to acknowledge that he'd spoken.
"And that's all that I know." he finished, propping his cheek up on his Devil Bringer, he did this from time to time and always wondered why he did afterward because the light that close to his eye was blinding and distracting.
"So you said that his aura vaguely reminds you of Dante's?"
"Not near as powerful but yeah."
"So what if he's a halfbreed?"
"Half ghost? Really Kyrie? Isn't that pushing it a little bit?"
"Says the boy with a glowing arm."
"Okay, okay, I won't dismiss it entirely."
"Good. So how's high school?" Nero rolled his eyes and huffed before answering.
-Fun and Games-
"Sam?" Danny called, poking his head through the window
"Don't come in I'm naked!" she shouted, Danny chuckled and entered anyway, Sam had gotten in the habit of saying that whether she was or not.
"One of these times I'll actually be naked." She warned and Danny rolled his eyes
"I can in your voice whether or not you're lying." He said, not mentioning the fact that he could taste it in her emotions that drifted through the air as well.
"Sure you can." She snorted "So what's up?"
"You're not going to believe this but Nero's a demon." He said, eyes wide. Sam stared at him for a second before bursting into laughter.
"Sam! I'm serious!" the half ghost complained, lounging around in midair as though that were perfectly normal, and between these two friends, it was.
"I understand that you don't like him Danny but that's no reason to call him a demon."
"Sam, his arm isn't broken. It's a demon arm, it's blue and red and glows, he was able to grab me with it while I was intangible." He lifted his shirt and displayed the now yellowing bruises, causing Sam to pause.
"What kind of demon, do you know?" she asked, now serious. He knew he'd done the right thing coming to Sam, she'd know when it came to devil's and demons.
"He said something about Sparda?" Danny said, shrugging. That was when Sam froze. "Sam? Sam, what is it?" he asked, floating over and looking into her face warily.
"What did he say about him?"
"That he was his grandson?"
"Shit, Danny what did you do?" the half ghost was startled and floated back a bit.
"What do you mean what did I do? I didn't do anything!"
"Then why do you have an extremely powerful devil hunter onto you?" she snapped and Danny paused
"What?"
"The sons of Sparda, Dante and Vergil are their names if I'm remembering correctly, are wicked devil hunters, if one of them had a kid and that kid is after you, well better than his father or uncle but you're still as good as dead."
A/N: Alrighty then! So that moment of Sam yelling don't come in I'm naked is what my roommate would always do to a friend of mine and we were waiting for the day when he'd walk in and she'd actually be naked XD
Till next time,
