Ichigo's eyes fluttered open as he stared up at a rocky ceiling. 'So this is the Shinigami's prison. They have such great quality.' Ichigo told himself sarcastically. He attempted to sit up, but a sharp pain in his stomach area caused him to lay back down.

He crooked his head down to see bandages wrapped around his stomach. "I see that you're still alive." A male tone said.

Ichigo turned his head again to see Yoruichi. Upon looking around the room, he saw it was more of a storeroom, filled with old weapons. "Oh great, it's Yoruichi," Ichigo said. "They get you too?"

"No. I managed to get to you before the Shinigami." Yoruichi informed. "And took you here to nurse you back to health."

"Geez, thanks." Ichigo thanked as he sat up again, doing it slower. "I appreciate the hospitality, but I've gotta get going." He carefully got onto his feet and saw a sheathed Yamato, Rebellion, Cerberus, and Blue Rose laying next to the mat he was laying on.

"What do you think you're doing!?" Yoruichi hissed out. "You need to rest!"

"Sorry, but I've got to save the midget's ass." He knelt down and holstered Blue Rose, placed Rebellion on his back, Cerberus on his lower back, and grasped Yamato in his left hand.

"No, you won't!"

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Ichigo said sarcastically. "What are you going to? Scratch my eyes out?" He pushed past the cat and walked to the door.

Ichigo felt Yoruichi land on his shoulder and his head was smacked. Again. And again. He eventually got sick of the headbutting and tossed Yoruichi off him. "Knock it off!" He yelled irritably. "That's only going to make me want to leave more."

"How about this?" A now female voice called out. Ichigo turned around to see a nude, beautiful woman with dark skin and purple hair in a ponytail. "This enough to get your attention?"

"Put on some damn clothes," Ichigo said bluntly. "And I'm not going to be seduced by you Yoruichi."

"How did you know it was me?" She asked, legitimately surprised he knew it was her. "I've never shown my true form to you."

"Your eyes. They look exactly the same." He said, "And I don't see a cat bitching about how I shouldn't go."

"But you shouldn't!" Yoruichi argued as she started to put on clothing. "Your wounds have yet to heal."

How the hell did you get me here?" Ichigo asked randomly as he just pushed the door open, showing the door opened to a small cliff and a steep drop.

Yoruichi finished getting her clothes on. "I hate wearing this." She complained. "I got here by using this thing." She pulled out a beige, bone-like item. "You put Reiryoku into this thing and it allows you to fly, no experience required!" She felt it leave her grasp as she saw Ichigo was now holding it with his right hand.

"I'm surprised it isn't being absorbed." He commented. "Thanks for my exit!" He quickly jumped, disappearing from the view of Yoruichi. He then reappeared with a bat like wing, carrying him to the Senzaikyu.

'How could I be so stupid!' Yoruichi insulted herself as she quickly followed Ichigo through the door. 'I've got to get to him!'

Trish shot out a bolt of lightning from her hand, but Byakuya simply dodged it and quickly used Shunpo to close the gap between them. She reacted quickly with a forward slash with Force Edge, which was blocked with Senbonzakura.

Byakuya attempted a precise cut at Trish's neck, but he hit only sparks of yellow lightning. He felt his haori be pulled back, showing Trish had managed to get behind him. She continued pulling him back and smashed a fist into his face, knocking him into the ground.

She quickly stabbed Force Edge where Byakuya was, intent on finishing him. "To slow," Byakuya said behind her. She looked to see he was indeed standing behind her. Her eyes quickly turned to see the Byakuya on the ground was no longer there.

"Hado #4 Byakurai," Byakuya said as he pointed his index finger towards Trish and shot out a bolt of pale blue lightning, which pierced through her chest.

He turned his back to focus on Lady and everyone else. "It seems that your last hope is dead. And you shall follow." He declared as he slowly made his way towards them. His feet stopped when he heard the crackle of lightning behind him.

His eyes slightly widened as he saw Trish was still standing, now with a yellow aura with lightning occasionally buzzing. She also now dawned a pair of black sunglasses. "Sorry Byakuya, but you really shouldn't use lightning on a girl who's entire shtick is lightning," Trish said.

She disappeared and reappeared in front of Byakuya, sword already in motion. The blade left a large gash on his chest. Byakuya let out a small painful grunt as he stepped back lightly. He swung Senbonzakura and struck Trish's chest.

The sword had sparks on the blade as he pulled it back. "Ain't going to work," Trish commented as her wound began to heal rapidly. She let out a lightning bolt from her hand, surprising Byakuya and hitting his sword, acting as a lightning rod and shocking him.

"You are proving to be a surprising foe." Byakuya complimented. "But I will finish this-" His words were cut off as a figure quickly descended with a large broadsword slamming into Byakuya, who managed to use Shunpo to create distance between them.

"Hey, there asshole," Ichigo said as he rested Rebellion on his shoulder. "And nice to see you, ladies." He gave Trish's aura a once over and nodded. "Dig the new look. But what happened to your choker?" He saw that the choker's gem was now a diamond shape.

"Partial release," Trish said simply.

"Ichigo?" Rukia asked hesitantly. She was hesitant to believe it was him due to his now white hair.

"I see you haven't changed midget." He commented as he walked over to her. "But we can catch up when I beat his ass." He pointed to Byakuya.

"You can't beat him!" She argued. "He's-Ah!" Her objection was interrupted by Ichigo smacking Yamato on her head, causing her to hold her head.

"Always a downer Rukia. Oh ye of little faith, try to have a little of what you lack." Ichigo said as he turned to Lady. "Sorry for being a little late. Got caught up."

"At least to you didn't stand up the date," Lady commented. "Now go kick his ass."

"Of course milady. Just keep an eye on her." She nodded, which gave Ichigo the confidence to turn to Byakuya. He eventually stood next to Trish. "We double-teaming him?"

"Scared that'll manage to beat his ass before you?" She asked lightheartedly "Don't worry, I protect you from scary Byakuya!"

"It is quite presumptuous to believe that you can beat me." Byakuya rang out. "Observe, Scatter Senbon-" His release phrase was cut off by a white fabric wrapping around Senbonzakura's blade. A figure soon landed in front of him. "Yoruichi Shihoin!"

"It's been a while since I've seen you little Byakuya." Yoruichi teased. "But I'm afraid I can't let this little brawl go on."

"Nice to see you Yoruichi!" Ichigo greeted with slight sarcasm. "But we've got to get this little showdown done and over with."

She turned to face him before disappearing. She reappeared in front of him and caught him off guard and promptly shoved her hand through his stomach, reopening.

"The fuck!" He swore as he felt himself getting more tired. "Why am I always getting knocked out? It's annoying." He then passed out and Yoruichi hoisted him on her shoulder.

"You bitch!" Lady insulted. "He could have won!"

"I won't argue with a kid that hasn't seen a true battle," Yoruichi said.

"Do you believe that I will let you leave with the Ryoka?" Byakuya asked. "You are mistaken."

"Look at Byakuya talking high and mighty. But you could never catch me in tag." They soon began a game of cat and mouse, while Trish walked back to Lady and Rukia.

"The hell are we going to do?" Lady asked. "We have a chance of getting away right now."

"I'm staying!" Rukia declared. "I won't let you take me!"

"Why the hell are you talking crazy?" Trish questioned. "Our entire reason for being here is rescuing you!"

"The chick just ran off." Lady pointed out as Yoruichi started to flee. "We got to make a decision now!"

"Ichigo's going to be pissed to hell," Trish muttered to herself before she grabbed Lady by the armpits and quickly took off, her lightning forming her wings, following Yoruichi.

While they were barely able to follow Yoruichi, Lady asked a question. "How pissed do you think Ichigo going to be that we ditched Rukia?"

"I don't know," Trish admitted. "Fifty-fifty split that he's either mad beyond hell or he understands why."

"Let's hope lady luck is with us," Lady commented as Trish decided to speed up in an attempt to catch up to Yoruichi. They eventually saw that she jumped off a cliff. They followed her and saw that she enter a door attached to the cliff face.

Trish began descending and tossed Lady through the door before following her. They saw Yoruichi had set Ichigo down and was panting.

"Getting a little tired?" Trish asked, removing her sunglasses and resealing her power. The gem on her amulet reabsorbed her aura like a vacuum, returning to the original form. "We'll be sure to give you more of a workout."

"How did you two get here?" Yoruichi asked shocked. She had expected them to be captured by the Shinigami.

"Sorry to disappoint but we aren't the type to be damsels in distress." Lady objected. "Now why did you run off."

"Ichigo couldn't beat Byakuya," Yoruichi explained. "He wasn't even using Shikai and was holding his old against Trish. So what are the chances that he would be able to survive against him using that or even Bankai?"

"We won't be able to find out," Ichigo grunted out, who had woken up while they were arguing and was now on his feet. "I'm still pissed that you shoved your hand through me! Though I'm glad they managed to get out of there."

"Are you not made that we didn't nab Rukia?" Trish asked.

"Slightly." He admitted. "But we've got one more chance on the day of the execution. They probably would stack the security where Rukia is now, so that's not that a no go."

"And how do you think you'll succeed?" Yoruichi asked. "You would have to deal with all of the Captains there?"

"And what do you suggested we do, oh wise leader?!" Ichigo snapped. "Just pack it and head home?"

"No. You need to get stronger." Yoruichi said. "You need to obtain Bankai." She soon began to move to a ladder that descended downward. "Follow me."

"I'm getting deja vu," Ichigo muttered with a slight shudder. "Though I'm interested to see what's she's saying." He started to slide down the ladder.

Trish and Lady looked at each other and decided to follow Ichigo. They eventually saw a large expansive room that resembled a desolate landscape with a clear sky.

"You better not throw me in a chasm," Ichigo said with narrowed eyes. "Otherwise I will dump water on you."

"Don't be ridiculous Ichigo." Yoruichi waved off as she pulled out a white cut out. "In order to obtain Bankai, one must train for 10 years."

"Do you have a time chamber or something?" Ichigo asked. "Otherwise that's tossed in the trash."

"That is why I have this thing," Yoruichi told him. "Kisuke developed this to draw out a Zanpakuto and force it into submission. Though you only have 3 days."

"What the hell do I even stab into it?" Ichigo asked. "Yamato, Rebellion, or Red Queen?" He jumped when a red blast shot into the cutout, destroying it.

"How about option D, none at all," Dante called out, not from Ichigo's mind, but behind him. Ichigo swiveled his head around to see not only Dante holding Ebony but also Nero and Yamato standing. "Geez, tough crowd."

'How are you guys out here?" Ichigo asked flabbergasted.

"It's because you accepted all of us," Yamato informed as he crossed his arms. "We now are able to appear in the real world."

"As Vergil said, we can help whop ass," Dante said.

"I'm guessing you have to beat mine first?" Ichigo asked. "Since I need to get Bankai."

"Only Nero's going to," Vergil informed. "I suppose it's important that we talk about your ancestry."

"What's the big deal with how I came from? We need to start now." Vergil disappeared from Ichigo's perception for a brief moment with a flicker before reappearing in front of him. And quickly smashed Yamato's sheathed end into his Ichigo's head.

"I will not tolerate stupidity," Vergil warned. "And knowing of your ancestry will help you obtain even more power."

"Alright." Ichigo relented. "Just don't smash that thing into me again! That thing hurts."

"Can we start story time?" Dante asked. "I got a perfect dramatic voice for this!"

"Should we be here?" Lady asked. "This seems personal."

"You two are allowed." Ichigo pointed a finger at Yoruichi. "Though I don't trust her."

"What?!" She asked offended. "Why not?"

"What part of chest stabbing pisses me off doesn't make sense?" He snapped. "Though I could care less if you know."

"If you wish for her to hear," Vergil answered.

"Let's start with your Zanpakuto." Dante began. "Because that's a bit of a doozy."

"What's so special with you guys?" Ichigo asked. "Aren't you all just one Zanpakuto?"

"No, we're all representations of your ancestry. I'm your badass Hollow, and Nero's your Shinigami. I think Vergil should explain what he represents."

"Ichigo, I am your Quincy Powers," Vergil revealed.

"So I'm related to Uryu?!" Ichigo panicked slightly before being smacked once again with Yamato's sheath. "I said to knock that off!"

"I will if you won't be stupid." Vergil retorted before getting a small smirk. "Or you'll get very familiar with my sheath. And yes, you are distantly related to the one known as Uryu. You are Quincy due to your mother."

"My mother was a Quincy?"

"Yup. That's where I'm from too!" Dante interrupted. "Your mom got attacked by a Hollow and got injected with its Reiryoku. That eventually attached to your Zanpakuto."

"And that's resulted in you guys?"

"Nope, that was after this happened." Dante began as he thought of how he and his siblings were born/created.

*Flashback*

"So you're my roommate?" A warped voice asked in a sideways city, filled with skyscrapers. The owner was a mirror of Ichigo, though everything about him was white. White skin, white spiky hair, and white Shinigami robes. His eyes were a sickly yellow with the sclera being black. On his back was a giant meat cleaver covered in black bandages.

"I am not a roommate." A calmer voice answered. This one belonging to a middle-aged man with long black hair and stubble. His eyes were covered with a brown tinted visor. His tall form was covered by a midnight black cloak, with only a white ragged collar peaked out of the cloak. "I shall become Ichigo's main source of power."

"Heheheh! That's really funny!" The white figure said. "What's going through your little mind that thinks I'm letting you roll through here and become the King's horse?"

"I was hoping you would be compliant and allow me to have your name, Zangetsu." The cloaked one said with a slight sigh.

Zangetsu let out a fit of psychotic sounding laughter. "Now you're just going to break my sides, old man!" He exclaimed in between laughs. "But sorry to say, you have little chance in beating me, Quincy!" Zangetsu grabbed the meat cleaver from his back, the bandages unveiling its white blade., and made a dash towards his opponent at breakneck speed.

The Quincy made an open hand as a broadsword engulfed with blue flames formed in his grasp. He countered Zangetsu's aggressive strike with a calm stroke with his broadsword. He then thrusted his sword towards Zangetsu.

His blade was quickly wrapped with the black bandages of Zangetsu's own sword, which was on a direct path towards Quincy's head. Quincy's shadow appeared in front of himself and teleported him away.

"No, you don't!" Zangetsu declared as he began to swing his sword by the cloth like a flail. He then swung it in a wide arc, hitting Quincy as he appeared. When Quincy was hit, he turned into a black mass and melded into the ground like a shadow. "What?" He sounded as he felt a blade pierce his chest.

"Now you will obey," Quincy said harshly as Zangetsu felt himself being absorbed into Quincy's blade.

"No. Not yet." Zangetsu ragged out as he raised his arm with his sword in it. "Ban-kai!" His declaration was accompanied with an encompassing wave of white energy with a red outline, knocking Quincy back a considerable distance.

When the wave dissipated, Zangetsu's weapon was replaced with an entirely white blade with a small chain length with a broken link at the end. His outfit now had a black lined, white, ankle length coat that was closed at the chest and ended in ragged ends.

"Tensa Zangetsu," Zangetsu muttered as he turned to a standing Quincy. "Looks like you may actually give me a fight! That's surprising."

"It matters not," Quincy said as several clones of himself appeared around Zangetsu. "You will submit."

The clones quickly enclosed Zangetsu. They all attempted to stab Zangetsu, but they failed as he disappeared from view and appeared above, his blade being coated in his Reiatsu.

"Getsuga Tensho!" He declared as the Reiatsu was unleashed in an arc and crashed into the clone swarm, dissipating them all in the single attack.

"Enough," Quincy said. "Why must you resist?"

"Its pretty simple," Zangetsu answered as he began spinning his sword by the chain link. "I could care less if you were here and decided to help me and King out." He stopped spinning the blade and grabbed it. "You fucked up by trying to push me out and make yourself the head honcho."

Zangetsu disappeared from Quincy's view before reappearing and stabbing him in the stomach. "Since you thought you could make me heel. Make me obey! I've decided to give you a taste of your own medicine!"

Quincy felt what Zangetsu felt earlier, but was quicker and he felt something else leave him. He collapsed on the ground with a hand holding him up after Zangetsu pulled out his sword. "What...have you….done?" He asked as he looked up to stare at Zangetsu.

He stood silent as he processed what he absorbed before gaining a smirk. "So that's your plan Yhwach? Try to kill my wielder?" He asked. "Looks like I'm going to throw a wrench in that plan!"

"You cannot contain all of that power," Yhwach argued. "Look at what it is doing to you!" He pointed a shaky finger towards Zangetsu's right arm.

When he looked down, Zangetsu saw it was slowly disintegrating. "Shit!" He swore as he swapped the grip of his sword to his left hand. "Looks like your right for once."

"Don't you see? Without my help, you will be unable to aid Ichigo." Yhwach said. "We must merge for both of us to survive!"

"How about no?" Zangetsu asked rhetorically. He held up his sword as his reflection looked back at him. "Tensa Zangetsu, Heavenly Chain Slaying Moon. What would happen if I were to cut my chains and relink them to make sure I screw you over?" He quickly stabbed himself through the gut and pushed it more deeply. "Moonlit chain...Break and reforge thyself!"

Zangetsu twisted the blade as a figure of blueish flame flew out of him. It then happened again, but with red energy. He quickly fell to his knees as he turned to Yhwach. "But before I go, I'll leave you with a little gift!"

He raised his hand with an open palm. Chains quickly ruptured out of the skyscraper, wrapping around Yhwach. "What are you doing?" He demanded as he attempted to get free.

"It's my parting gift! I'll leave your fate to Ichigo to decide when he discovers my replacements." The chains soon pulled Yhwach down, down into a dark abyss of Ichigo's mind.

'So this is how it ends?' He thought to himself as he felt his body become lighter. 'Sorry I never got to meet you King, but my heirs should be a good substitute.' He soon entirely turned into blue Reiatsu explosion. The explosion then reversed into a teen with white hair and a reptilian right hand.

*Flashback End*

"And that's our birth." Dante ended as everyone besides his brothers were shocked. "I'm guessing you've got questions?"

"If you each are representations of Ichigo's heritage, how are you all Zanpakuto spirits?" Yoruichi asked.

"That's because we are mixed. " Vergil said. "Let's think of it as percentages. I would be 50% Quincy and 25% Hollow and Shinigami. I have enough Shinigami to where I can be summoned and used. It is the same for the fool known as my brother. He's 50% Hollow and 25% everything else."

"What sucks about us it that we don't have Bankai," Dante complained. "It's also why little bro is the only one you're going to be fighting. He's the only one with a Bankai. Any more questions? Ichigo?"

Ichigo nodded his head before opening his mouth, "Where did I get my Shinigami powers? It couldn't have come from my dumbass of a father."

"It did." Dante snickered. "He used to be a Captain before he had to sacrifice his powers to save your mother from the Hollow that attacked her."

"What?" Ichigo asked. "Why the hell didn't he tell me! Or my sisters?"

"It's because he didn't want you to know." Yoruichi butted in. "He felt like it would be better if you were left in the dark."

"Let's get going, Nero," Ichigo said randomly as he stood up. "I've got to work my anger out on you!"

"Looks like you speak my language Ichigo," Nero commented as he pulled out his version of Red Queen, which had a larger lever and an etched base instead of the exhaust ports. "You should now, you can only use my weapon. Not Dante's or Vergil's."

"Why the hell not?" Ichigo asked.

"You're fighting for my Bankai. So you should be able to beat me only using my weapon." He explained. "Or are you scared that I'll beat your ass?"

"I guess you're defective." Ichigo stabbed Rebellion into the ground and hanged Ebony and Ivory's holsters and Cerberus on its hilt. He also tied Yamato's cord to it. "Because your stupid if you think you can beat me!"

"Looks like they're going to have fun," Dante commented as he started to walk away. "I'm going for a walk."

"Where do you think you're going?" Yoruichi asked.

"Got cotton in your ears? I'm going for a light stroll." He continued walking. "I'm going to run interference and see if I can take any Captains or something out. Give us some breathing room."

"Fine." Yoruichi relented as Dante smirked wildly. "Just don't be stupid and lead them back here."

"Fine mom!" Dante said lightheartedly as he used Sonido and appeared on the ladder. "You wish to join me, Vergil? We could see who can kick more ass?"

"Forgive me Dante but I'm going to remain here," Vergil said. "If Ichigo finishes his battle with Nero, I'm going to help him with wielding me."

"Lame," Dante commented as he started to climb the rest of the ladder. "I'm going out on a night of the town."

Vergil just turned and sat on a boulder and watch as Nero and Dante were in a sword lock. 'Let us see what happens Ichigo.' He mused as both Red Queens clashed in a song of sparks and flames.

'Now what's first?' Dante asked himself. He was standing on the short cliff that the Training Grounds was attached to. 'Let's just see if we can sense anything.' He closed his eyes to focus on Pesquisa.

He felt a pulse or Reiatsu leave him and felt several strong sources of Reiryoku. 'Ah! There's one slightly weaker.' He thought as he opened his eyes. "Let's go give them a little visit!" He quickly disappeared from the cliff.

A short time later, he appeared in front of a walled area with a black gate that was open. "So this is where the source was eh? Always wanted to make a volcano for a science project." Dante made his way through the gates of the SRDI.

He kept a steady pace as he entered the main building, following the source of Reiatsu. "Halt!" A voice commanded behind Dante. "Who are you?"

'Time to play a little.' He told himself as he turned around. He saw the voice belonged to a Shinigami with black hair that was above three horns. "I'm here from the higher-ups. I've been sent to check on the Captain."

"Really? What's your name?"

"En Truder," Dante told him. "Now can I get going? I don't want the higher-ups on my ass."

"I know what you mean." The man replied. "You know where he is? Just be careful. Mayuri can be….Kinda violent."

"Let's see them," Dante said as he continued to walk towards Mayuri. He eventually stood in front of a door and pushed it open.

"Damn it Nemu!" A voice screamed as Dante cracked the door open slightly to here inside. "What couldn't you take care of the Quincy!"

"I'm sorry Master Mayuri." A calm and frankly monotone girl said. Dante cringed when he heard a harsh slap, but no cry from the girl.

'Time to stop a tragedy.' Dante commented to himself with a serious undertone. He raised his foot and crashed it into the door, forcing it open. The open door showed a bruised and battered girl with black hair. A man with blue hair had his palm outstretched, recently used to slap Nemu.

"Who are you?!" Mayuri demanded. "And why shouldn't I kill you immediately?"

"I'm here from the takeout place. I've got an order for Mayuri. Asked for a pizza roll with a side of bullets." Dante drawled Ebony and shot at Mayuri, killing him instantly. "Holy shit! I thought he would dodge it."

"What have you done?" Nemu asked as she stared at Mayuri's dead body. "Why did you kill my father?"

"That wasn't a father," Dante replied. "That was a dick head for hitting his supposed daughter. A person who hurts their children aren't parents, they're monsters."

Nemu stayed silent as Dante passed her and looked around. "Hmm...Now what?" He muttered. He could stay and take out more Shinigami, but if he did, they could potentially track him down.

"I...may know what you can do," Nemu spoke up, causing Dante to turn his head.

"And why would you help me?"

"I thought on what you said about my fath-Captain Mayuri." Nemu corrected herself. "I decided that you were right. Mayuri may have created me, but he...can not be considered my father."

"Hurrah for free will!" Dante cheered. "So what should I supposedly do?"

"Mayuri was working on a weapon that used Reiatsu to fire a projectile." Nemu moved to a wall and transformed her arm into a drill and destroyed the wall, revealing a hidden room.

Dante began walking to peek through the room. He stepped over Mayuri's corpse and noticed a sickly green pale of light. "Oooooh! New weapon!" He said as he held out his hand and the orb quickly entered his grasp and started to form an outline of a sort of bow. It eventually lost its glow and turned into a green bow, with three arrows motifs on each limb, and a beetle head at the middle.

"What is that ability?" Nemu asked curiously. "I've never seen an ability like that."

Dante was playing with his new toy and pulled the bowstring, causing a arrow to appear. "It's a trade secret," Dante said simply as the bow disappeared from his grip. "Using Kafka is going to be fun. Now, what did Mayuri hid in here?"

Dante looked through the rubble and saw a secret workshop with two weapons held in clear containers. Both were shotgun in design. One was a sawed-off shotgun with two magazines on the end. The other had a more elegant design, with an etching on the black metal of the barrel. Its grip was a simplistic pistol one and white.

"These were the weapons Mayuri designing. The one on the left is named Coyote-A with the other being called Revenant." Nemu explained as Dante entered the workshop and pulled out both of the weapons.

He gripped Coyote-A before suddenly pointing it at the wall and pulled the trigger, causing a blast of red energy to shoot out of the barrels. He nodded in approval and held Revenant before shifting the grip to the barrels. "I've got a gift for Ichigo," Dante commented.

"I hope you are pleased," Nemu said as Dante passed her.

"I sure am Missy. I stopped an asshole, got new weapons, and got a gift for my friend." Dante rapid fired as he started to leave. "Adios Nemu, don't let anyone take advantage of you again."

"Wait," Nemu asked as he gave a slight sigh and stopped. "Will you...allow me to follow you?"

"Hmmm….." Dante hummed as he thought about Nemu's proposal.
