How's it going everyone, Silentshadow01 here wishing you a Merry Christmas.
That's right Silentshadow01, not Orokade Hakuchi. You see, I decided to be a good friend and give this friend of mine here a present. Here you go my friend, enjoy this small short holiday chapter I made for you, may not be much but I hope you enjoy it
Now without further ado, enjoy this holiday chapter
It was Christmas day and Dante was walking down the snowy streets of Vale while he chewed on a candy cane. The entire city was decorated in a festive spirit for the holiday. Dante included as his normal red outfit now had green where the black was and the trim of his jacket gold making him look more festive. The reason Dante was walking the streets of Vale was that he already partake in present giving with Team RWBY and JNPR just awhile ago.
He gave Ruby a new model scope for Crescent rose which she happily hugged him for it. He gave Weiss a set of earrings in the shape of snowflakes that she said was 'adequate' which was her way of saying thank you when she took the earrings quickly before putting them on when she thought he didn't see her. For Blake he gave her some books along with a ticket to the movie Ninja's of Love which made Blake smack him while having a major blush on her face for him getting her such an embarrassing gift that caused Yang to laugh when she saw the ticket. For Yang he gave the blonde a book of puns which made everyone groan and complain why he did that as Yang started listing off some puns.
Dante then went to team JNPR to give them their presents. He gave Jaune a trench knife saying that it's always better to have a spare weapon just in case something happens. He gave Nora a crown with a hammer on top with a sloth hanging from it which then made her squeal out saying she's 'queen of the castle' happily. He gave Pyrrha a book on 'How to ask an oblivious person out' which made her blush as she subtly put the book away to read later. For Ren he gave him a new Zen mat, and some scented incense along with a book of martial arts to use in his spare time.
After he gave them their presents they gave him presents as well but told them he'll open them later as he felt like stretching his legs. Which is how he is now down in Vale walking about until he goes back to Beacon.
"What to do, what to do" Dante said to himself as he walked down a desolate street as not many were outside this day because of Christmas "I wonder if that ice cream parlor is still open" Dante mused as he passed by a small shelter that was giving out food to the needy. Dante stopped in front of it and saw most of people waiting in the line outside the shelter were middle aged adults and kids. This was probably the first true meal they had in months as he could tell by their thin bodies. Kinda reminds him of when he first met Rei back in that cemetery all those years ago
"I'm sorry everyone but we run out of food to give" A volunteer announced sadly as many of the homeless complained "I'm sorry but we don't have enough food to go around. We'll try to get some food later in the evening but that is only if we could get enough money together to buy it, I'm sorry" The volunteer said as he closed the door to the shelter as many complained while some of the kids cried as they were going through Christmas without eating again from what their thin bodies show.
Dante stared at the scene as he bit his lips as he walked by the scene quickly and turned around the corner looking for one thing. He soon found a small shopping mart that was opened and went inside with a shopping cart. He came back out a few minutes later carrying several bags of food and drinks "The things I do for others" Dante muttered "Thankfully I have enough money from what Rei sent me for Christmas to pay for these" Dante mused as he walked back to the homeless shelter with the people who were there before were still there as they sat down huddled up together while some were heading back to wherever they slept
Dante whistled to them as the homeless who were sitting outside looked up to him as well as the ones walking away looked back towards him "Mind someone hold these while I open the door" Dante asked as several kids came out of the group of homeless and helped him "Thank you" Dante said as he tried to open the door to only finding it locked so he decided to open it the old fashion way. Dante pulled out a knife and poured some of his aura onto the knife as he cut the locks on the door before opening it
Dante took the bags of food from the kids as he made his way towards the cooking station of the shelter and put on an apron that was on the side as he began preparing some food. Dante looked in the corner of his eyes as he saw many were waiting patiently with smiles and tears in their eyes as they were actually going to eat today.
Dante finished making a giant pot of stew and some canned cooked meat. He began handing out food to the children first who were holding their plates up high for Dante to fill them. After the kids got a good amount the adults went to get some as well as Dante handed some to them as well "Bless your soul" was what some of them said as he gave them their food as Dante smiled warmly as many who would starve now have something for them
Soon the oven that was in the back dinged loudly as he put on some oven mits and went to get what he put in awhile ago. A minute later and Dante came out from the back carrying two large turkeys that caused many to mouth water at the sight of the turkey.
"Children first" Dante announced as none of the older groups argued as the children rushed towards Dante with hungry looks on their eyes as cut pieces of the turkey off and put them on their plates. When he sees a kid that is skinnier than he should be he always cut more than he should for the kid. Every time the kids got their food they always thanked him which made smile even bigger than before as he started handing out pieces of the turkey to the rest who were incredibly gracious for what he is doing
After two hours of cooking Dante finally finished giving food to everyone to eat. He sat down with a tired huff before he noticed kids were walking up "Do you want some more kids" Dante asked with a smile while still a little tired from cooking nonstop. They shook their heads as each one of them hugged him
"Thank you" They all cried out as Dante blinked at the action before smiling as he hugged the kids. Dante then pulled out something from the bag of stuff he bought and brought out blankets enough for everyone. Dante never felt happier doing something so selfless like this as he was washed over with the happy feeling inside him as many hugged and cried on his shoulder thanking him for being such a blessing. Dante smiled while internally scoffing, he wasn't a blessing but with what they are saying and how he could see how they are being so truthful in their eyes he couldn't help but feel important.
"It's the least I could do, I know what it feels like to be hungry and cold" Dante said softly as the rest of the time was spent with Dante playing with the kids while the adults were either leaving or waited for their respective kids to finish playing with him.
When the sun was going down was when the last few kids were saying goodbye as Dante waved back watching them leave with happy spirits and filled stomachs. Dante let out a tired huff as he enjoyed giving to the needy even if it was time consuming which he noticed was a long time as he opened his Scroll only to get a call at that exact moment
"Hello" Dante answered
"WHERE ARE YOU!" Blake's voice screamed out with concerned
"Sorry, Sorry I was busy with something nothing to worry about" Dante said trying to calm the cat girl as he made his way back to Beacon
"You haven't been answering your Scroll for nearly six hours! What were you doing!?" Blake shouted immensely concerned as Dante shrugged
"I was helping out some people and getting into the holiday spirit of giving to others" Dante said somewhat cryptically
"What does that mean?" Blake asked
"I'll explain later" Dante said with a little chuckle
"Fine you better, the others are starting with dinner and none of us wanted to start without you" Blake explained as Dante let out a breath of relief
"Dinner sounds great, I'll be there shortly. And Blake" Dante said softly
"Yes?" Blake responded softly
"Merry Christmas" Dante said with a smile as Blake let out a playful scoff
"Merry Christmas now get back over here, Yang is trying to get us to do something stupid and I want someone to stop her from doing so or record it" Blake said joyously as the sound of something breaking in the background was heard through the speakers "And now she's arm wrestling Nora. . . and they broke the table *Sigh* Get back soon, okay" Blake said before hanging up as Dante let out a chuckle
"They may be weird at times but they're my friends" Dante said to himself dearly as he went back to Beacon whistling a tune while skipping to the beat as today is such a good day to be alive
