Dante sat behind his desk at Devil May Cry. He was bored crazy.
" Man, where are marionettes when you need them?"
As if on cue, a girl about 19 came bursting in his door. She looked like she had been running for a while the way she was breathing so hard. She had carmel skin and black hair. Her blue eyes were filled with terror. Dante whistled." What's your name gorgeous?" He asked. She yelped at his voice and turned." Yo, calm down." He said. He got up and went over to her. She backed into the wall with a thump." Calm down kid. What's got you hyperventaliting?"He asked. She started gibbering in Spanish so fast Dante had to cover her mouth. It was obvious she wasn't speaking his language. He strained to remember his Spanish.
" Como te llamas?"
" Lola."
" Que hablas?"
There she went again. So fast Dante couldn't keep up. He covered her mouth again." This isn't working. Can you just show me what's wrong?" He asked. She seemed to understand and took his hand. Dante made sure Ebony and Ivory were close. Outside were marionettes limping along." Whoa. I thought I killed you all." Dante said. Lola cowered behind him. He pulled his guns and fired at them while backing away. This was the best he could do without Alastor or anything else. He had knocked a few away, but more were coming from one of those annoying red holes in the ground. They made it back to his building and Dante grabbed Alastor. He turned to Lola." Get under the desk and don't get up!" He yelled. Marionettes were no problem for him, yeah, but if they saw Lola, they'd go for her too." Alright, puppets from hell. Just bring it." He said.
He ran out to charge them. They were armed and threw their weapons at him.
" Kuso! Forgot about that!"
He was glad Lola was under his desk. He finished them off with his Devil Trigger. He was also glad Lola didn't see that. The last thing he needed was a screaming teenager he put the fear of God in. He hd just finished the last one.
" Ya'll come back now, hear?"
He went inside his shop." Lola! You can come out now now." He said. She came out of her hiding place still shaken." You alright?" He asked. She nodded. Dante sighed and shook his head." Alright, now that that's outta the way, why is that puppet show following you around?" He asked putting Alastor back in the wall." Yo no se`." She said. Dante didn't catch any of that." Okay, can you speak Japanese?"
" No."
" At all?"
" Kuso, chikushoo, kisama, zakkenayo, temee,baka, bakayaro,"
" Stop! Stop before I start to resent you." He said." Can you speak anything other than Spanish?" He asked." English?" She said." Oh, something easy." He said sarcastically. He was better with english than Spanish, seeing as how he had just done some job in America and he learned pretty quick." Okay. Slowly, tell me why those things were chasing you." He said. Shelooked like she was thinking." I don't know." She said." You know something. It wouldn't have taken you so long to say that had that been true." He said. She looked confused." Tell me, why were they after you?" He asked. " I don't know." She repeated. This was beginning to annoy Dante. He walked over to her. She was intimadated and backed into the wall. He slammed his hand into the wall beside her making her jump.
" I'll ask you one more time, why were they following you?"
She looked terrified of him.
" Tell me!!"
" They killed my parents!"
She covered her mouth. Dante backed off." I'm sorry." He said. She didn't answer." When?" He asked." I was 9." She said. Dante felt his own sting of loss. He looked up at the sound of sniffing. Lola was crying. Dante wanted to kick himself. ' Way to go demon boy, you made her cry.' He thought. He managed to calm her down and let her sit on his couch in the corer. He got her some water from his fride in the back. While she was calming herself down, Dante looked her over trying to see what would marionettes want with her. And why their WERE actual marionettes after her. Other than she was pretty he saw nothing wrong with her. Then he saw something on her forearm as she lifted the bottle. A circle with animals and a torch in the middle.
" What do you call that?"
She jumped at his sudden engage in conversation. " What?" She asked." Don't play dumb. That thing on your arm." He said pointing. She looked." What? This? This is a birthmark." She said." Helluva birthmark." He said. She shrugged." This all very confusing. They killed your parents and now they want you. How old are you anyway?"
" It's not polite to ask a woman's age."
" True, but you're not a woman."
She looked mad.
" I AM SO!"
" No, you're not."
" Just because I'm 19 doesn't mean I'm not a woman I'll have you know!"
She covered her mouth right after she said that." Thank you." Dante said getting up from his seat on the floor. He was putting all this together.' Murdered parents, elaborate birthmark, wanted by demons, and did I sense something when she got mad at me? Is she a demon?...Man, please! But I have to know for sure. And the only way to do that is to make her mad. Simple enough' He thought. He looked over to Lola, who was braiding her hair to give herslef something to concentrate on other than this whole ordeal. Dante smiled as he looked her over.
" Hey thick thighs!"
