This may be one of the last chapters I put up for a while. *sob* I really
don't mean to disappoint anyone, but like I said earlier, school lets out
next week, so I'm terribly sorry to those who like this. When I do get to
put some others on though, I'll put on at least three chapters.
Like I've said, I don't own Devil May Cry. I don't own anyone you've ever heard of either. You know the drill. Everyone else, besides Dante, Trish and Mundus, are mine. (Although, Mundus isn't in here. He's only mentioned.)
Chapter 5 Kill Dante!
"Where is he!!?" The demon man yelled from the air. Many of the villagers on the ground were mumbling to each other.
"You best listen to me," The demon growled. He let the fireball in his hand disappear. "we've been very considerate to you little cretins! Now, if you don't tell me where he is, I promise that I'll burn your stupid little village to ashes!"
Dante looked over at Yui, who had a rather worried look on his face. He looked down to see Skail, clinging to his fathers leg. He looked very scared.
Dante sighed and walked away from the house. Demi tried to hold him back. He put one hand on Dante's shoulder. Dante shrugged it off and kept walking.
As Dante came close to where the man was floating, the demon looked down at him and smiled. He slowly floated down to the ground.
"So there you are, Dante." He said with a smirk. "Huh, thought you'd be a little stronger looking."
"Well," Dante began, staring into the demon's eyes. "let's not get too cocky, huh?"
Dante had no room to talk about cockiness. He could stare even Mundus in the eye and mock him.
"Who are you anyways?" Dante asked as he began to pace. All of the villagers were beginning to back up and keep their distance. They knew a battle was about to start. Most of them hid in their homes. Only Demi and the others were left outside.
"My name's Kaos. Pleasure to meet you." The demon said while bowing.
Demi watched as the two sized each other up. He looked over at Yui. "Who is that guy?"
Yui turned to Demi. "That is Kaos, on of the four demon colonels. He's well known for his abilities. I hope Dante knows what he's getting into. . ."
Demi looked back at Dante. "I have to help him. . ." He said to himself. He pulled out his sword and ran out to help. Just as he got to Dante's side, Dante turned to see who it was.
"Demi? Scram. You'll just get yourself killed." Dante warned.
"Hey, I can fight! Don't treat me like a kid!" Demi growled.
"You are a kid."
Demi stared at Dante. "I'm 19! I'm not a kid!"
Dante made no reply. He kept his attention on Kaos.
"So, you gotta get a kid to help you? Well, it doesn't really matter. I'll just both of you." Kaos said grinning. Dante saw a pair of razor sharp fangs protrude with his smile.
"Come on then."
Kaos put out his hand. A long black energy blade appeared in his hand. He grabbed it and jumped at Dante. Dante hopped to the side and brought Alastor down at Kaos's head. Kaos merely brought up his blade and blocked. He pushed hard to knock Dante away.
Dante stumbled back a few inches. He held Alastor in one hand and pulled Ivory out with the other. He took three shots. Kaos put his arm out in front of him and the bullets appeared to hit some sort of forcefield. Kaos stood up and ran at Dante again. He stopped right before hitting him and spun around.
Kaos's cape flew into Dante's face. He knocked it away, which caused a minor screwup on his part. Kaos took this moment to bring his sword down at Dante. Before Dante could react, the black, glowing blade headed toward Dantes face.
With a great burst of speed, Demi ran between the two. He put up his sword and blocked Kaos's attack. He pushed and threw Kaos's sword back and then kicked him in the stomach. Kaos was sent back a few feet. Demi ran up to him and jumped into the air, trying to do a downward thrust. Kaos rolled, just barely missing having a sword rammed through his chest.
When Demi landed on the ground, Kaos punched him in the face with his sword free arm. Demi was sent into the dirt about five feet from where he had been standing from the impact.
Dante got up and ran over to Demi. He helped him up. Demi rubbed his face. Blood seeped from his nose. Acknowledging that Demi was all right, Dante turned back to Kaos. He holstered Ivory and got ready for any oncoming attacks with Alastor.
"Well, for a half-breed. . .you aren't too bad. My compliments." Kaos said smiling.
"I don't need your fucking praise. Just shut up and fight." Dante said calmly.
Demi knelled on his sword. He licked his bloody lip and wiped his face off. He couldn't figure out how Dante could be so calm at a time like this. Demi had seen him calmly watch the demons on the ship kill everyone. He'd calmly killed the bastards too. Demi had been on the verge of crying and screaming through the entire thing. He didn't though. He'd already decided to do nothing to embarrass himself in front of Dante. He didn't want Dante to see him as just a kid. Unfortunatly, he could tell that Dante still saw him as a burden.
"Maybe he's just an insensative prick. . ." Demi thought.
Demi quickly stopped thinking that as he saw Dante move in front of him, his shadow cast over Demi. Dante looked back at him.
"You okay?" Dante asked gruffly.
Demi nodded. He half smiled and stood up straight. He pulled his sword from the ground and held it up. "I'm fine. Just got knocked a bit loopy."
Dante couldn't tell, but Demi was lying. His face fuckin' hurt like hell! He'd been hit before, but damn, not THAT hard! He felt a shit load worse that 'knocked loopy.' He felt like he may have a concussion. The area around his nose stung like fire and felt inflamed.
"You two don't stand a chance against me." Kaos laughed. "When I get through with you, not even your mom'll be able to identify your body!"
"That would be just sad." Demi said in a sarcastic wine, trying to sound tough. His voice seemed to change to a mournful mumble. "Only problem is, I don't have a mom, she's dead."
Dante looked over at Demi. He remembered Marcus saying something about Demi's father being dead. But, his mother too?
"Sorry to hear that kid, but I suppose you can go join her when I kill you." Kaos growled. "So just stand still, and die."
Kaos rushed at Demi. Demi jumped up and behind Kaos. Apparently knowing what Demi was planning, Kaos suddenly brought his sword behind himself. It slashed into Demi's arm. He moved away from Kaos and held his upper arm, where he'd been sliced.
Kaos looked down at a small puddle of blood that belonged to Demi. Demi and Dante watched him bend down and smeer some onto his fingertips. He brought it up to his face and smelled it, then licked it.
"Oh! That's gross!!" Demi yelled.
Kaos stopped and looked over at Dante, who was running at him with his sword out.
Dante plunged the sword at Kaos. Kaos ducked down and knocked Dante's legs out from under him. He held his foot down on Dante's chest. His other foot landed on Dante's arm, where Alastor was being gripped.
Demi ran at Kaos, sword raised. Kaos glanced at him and put one arm up toward the boy. Demi was suddenly thrown back into one of the small houses of the village.
"Now Dante. . .YOU DIE!!" Kaos yelled. He held his sword up, ready to plunge it into Dante's heart.
Dante stared up at Kaos's eyes. Just as Kaos brought the sword down, an arrow suddenly protruded from his chest. He stopped his attack and looked down at his chest. He stumbled back, off of Dante. Clenching the arrow, he turned around. There was a short cliff behind them where the shoreside cliff came more inland.
As he looked up the cliff, there was a girl. Dante couldn't see her clearly from his angle, the sun was behind her. All he could see was her silhouette and a bow, pointed down at Kaos with an arrow strung into it.
There was a sudden 'plung' noise and a swish. Dante was spattered with Kaos's blood as one, silver arrowhead protruded from the back of Kaos's skull. He stood for a moment, then crumpled to the ground. There was no other movement from Kaos.
Dante stared at Kaos's body for a moment, then directed his attention to the girl on the cliff. She was coming down now. As she came to the bottom of the cliff, Dante could see her clearly.
She sighed and looked up at Dante. She had fine, velvety, black hair, pulled back into a ponytail that reached about midback. She had purple eyes and a light complextion. She looked like she was in her early, maybe mid twenties. She was wearing a midnight blue, homemade tunic of some sort and the same colored homemade pants. There was a quiver of arrows strapped to her back and she had her bow in her hand. Dante could see a large pouch strapped to her side.
She came over to Dante and knelled down at his side.
"Are you alright, sir?" She asked in a soft, kindred voice.
Dante stared up at her. His heard seemed to skip a beat. He just laid there, staring up into her eyes.
"Are you alright?" She asked again.
Dante came out of his daze and blinked. "I'm fine." He said as he stood up.
He looked around after getting up all the way. He could see Demi laying on the ground next to the building he had been thrown into. He slowly came over and looked down at him. Demi was lying there, looking up at the sky. He looked at Dante and blinked.
"Hey ya. What's up?" He groaned. Dante helped him up and Demi began dusting off.
Dante looked behind him to see that the woman was standing there. He smiled at her.
"Thanks. You really pulled our asses out of the preverbial fire there." Dante thanked.
The woman smiled kindly. "You're welcome. I was just coming home. Thought you may need some help." She said shyly.
"Well, we did. We really appreciate it."
Skail came running down toward the three. "Schala! Schala!" He yelled. He came running and grabbed the girl around the waist. She hugged him back.
"Sis! Did you see Kaos?! Mr. Dante and Demi were trying to save us! Are you okay Schala?" Skail practically cried.
"I'm fine, thank you for asking." Schala assured as she stroked her hand through the boy's hair. Skail looked over at Dante.
"Are you okay, Mr. Dante?"
Dante nodded and smirked. "Yep, thanks to your sister." He turned to Schala. "You are his sister, right?"
"Yes sir." Schala nodded. "I'm his sister, Schala. From what Skail just said, I'd imagine your name is Dante, correct?"
Dante nodded again. "Don't freak out like your old man did, okay?"
"Huh? Oh! You mean you're THAT Dante? Don't worry, it doesn't bother me. I'm not afraid of anyone. Not even that crazed psycho, Kaos."
Well, then you've got some guts." Dante laughed lightly.
Schala pulled Skail away from her and looked down at him. "You go home and wait there for us. We'll be there in a moment."
Skail nodded and ran back home. Schala looked up at Dante.
"Would you come to my house and rest? I'd imagine you need it."
Dante shrugged. Schala began walking back to her house, with Dante and Demitri following.
********
I'll end this chapter here. I really wish I could put more on, but I won't get to write anymore during the week. *WHAHAHAHA!!!!!* We have our finals and everything this week. (Which is our last week. I wish they'd give us our exams a week before the end, instead of making us take three on the last day. Do you know how much that sucks?!) As I've said, I will have more up when I get a chance. (Which may not be until the beginning of September. . .) If you can, leave me some reviews before the week's up, so that I have something to be happy for. Not that I'm not happy to be out of school. . .the only reasons I ever want to go sometimes is so I can put these damn chapters up. I'm the kind of person who hates school. . .
I forgot. . .thanks for the refreshing bath of fire extingisher foam and water. Helped me out just bunches. *Still traumatized from the event, just. . .traumatized* But. . .I'm still a pyro!!! Hah hah! *Pulls out a zippo and chases Chasm with it.* Heh Heh!!! *Dyne comes out of nowhere and clothslines burry*
"God! Would you stop it! You burnt me five times already with that damned thing!"
*Burry sits down, in pain. Stares at the flame of the lighter, mesmerized.* Heh heh. . .
"That's just fuckin' weird. . ."
Remember, leave reviews!
