Woohoo! I'm back! And I'm writing at work *looks around suspiciously wondering if anyone is peering over his shoulder* Aaaaaaannnyway I have as story to make.

Virgil: at least you didn't take a whole month to add a chapter this time..

Yeah. whatever. here's chapter 9

----------------

Dante was riding the motorcycle down one of the roads, it wouldn't be long before he arrived at the church where this began. He wondered what was going to happen, and yet, there was a strange familiarity about this whole thing. It then started to pour down with rain. The spray stung his face and created a grave reflection on the road. He gritted his teeth as he pushed the bike to its limits.

----------------

"Nothing."

"Well try this book."

"I can't read that one, it's in.. Uh, Latin?"

"Oh sorry." Virgil said. "I forgot you can't read jinn."

"Jinn?"

"Simply put, devil language."

"Oh. Right. And you can?"

"Well I have been taught, although I pretty much could read it from the start. Just don't ask me to explain why."

"Why?"

"Don't start that. Here, take this one." He handed over another oversized book.

"Ooh, pictures."

Virgil shook his head. "And I thought I was immature."

Nicole responded by throwing a book in his direction. Of course, Virgil caught it with ease.

"You got to do better than that." Virgil smirked.

Nicole took out the staff and pointed it in his direction. "How about this?"

"Good enough, but you wouldn't touch me with it. You wouldn't dare."

"Wanna bet?"

"No. Now stop messing about we need to be researching."

"But there's nothing in these books, except maybe a load of dust."

"Then research the dust, just keep reading."

"Gruuummpy." Thought Nicole.

"Am not"

"Are too... Huh? What did you say?"

"You said I was grumpy. I'm not grumpy, I'm just busy."

"I never said anything."

"Sure, whatever."

"How did you know what I was thinking? Are you a mind reader too!?" She stood up and stared down at him.

"Nicole, just keep reading. We really don't have time for this."

Nicole sat down in a huff. He kept a lot of things to himself. "What an arrogant bastard." She thought

"WHAT?!"

"Haha! Gotcha! You CAN read my mind!"

"Don't be so stupid Nicole I'm not a mind reader."

"I never said anything though, and you heard my thoughts. Besides, you can predict things, so why not this too?"

"I suppose its possible."

Nicole suddenly went quiet. "If he can read my mind, then does he know that I.?"

"Know that you what?"

----------------

Dante slipped off of the bike, and made his way up to the church. "No welcoming party, perhaps they don't expect me." He walked inside through the open doors. They shut behind him with a loud clunk.

"Or maybe they do." He said as the lights went out.

----------------

Virgil: Short again.

I DON'T CARE! Hear that?!? I don't care!!! MUWAHAHAHAHAAA! I don't give the slightest bit of damn!

Virgil: Its official, he's gone, looks like I have to write the chapters from now on.

REVIEW PLEASE! : )
