Dyne: (bawls) REMY!!! STOP IT! I don't swing that way!!! (feels violated)
Kaos: Now who's gay, aye Dyne?! (cackles)
This is the last chapter everyone!! It's short and quick, but bear with me, I was in a hurry, SORRY!!
Dyne: You shouldn't hurry the final chapter of things.
Burry: Oh, shut UP! (Chunks a kunai at him)
Dyne: Would you quit trying to kill me?!
Burry: You're right, I need you. . .
Sorry Arch, had to do that. . .I know you hate it.
Chapter 29: Setting Off
Schala came around from the front of the cathedral, looking for Dante. She could see him sitting on the ground ahead. As she approached him, she sighed with relief that he was all right.
"Dante, thank goodness!" She called. She came up behind him and knelled on her knees, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I'm so glad. . ."
That's when she noticed his quiet and sad demeanor he wasn't moving, let alone speaking. She had expected to be greeted with a cocky smirk and maybe a smart-ass remark, but that isn't what she received. She let loose of Dante and whirled around to his front. His face was straight and unemotional, his eyes gloomy and staring off into space.
"Dante? What's wrong?" Schala asked in a concerned tone.
Dante was silent for some time before he finally answered her. "Demitri's gone. . ." His voice was soft and calm, but there was a tinge of melancholy within it.
"What? What do you mean gone?"
Dante sadly explained what had happened. Now she joined him in mourning.
"I'm sorry. . ." Schala said softly.
"It's not your fault, Schala. . .It's mine. . ." Dante reassured.
"You two were friends, partners. I can understand that you feel that it's your fault. It isn't really—"
"Schala, we really didn't know each other very well. I'd only just met him right before we came here to this place." Dante explained.
"Oh. . ."
Both Dante and Schala were silent for some time before Schala sighed. She put one arm on Dante's shoulder and laid her head on his arm.
"I take it that's it though? Are the demons gone?"
"Gaul is, so no one will try to revive Mundus again. The demons left here will probably linger for some time though." Dante explained, the sullen tone still in his voice.
"Well, we could get rid of them." A voice said from behind.
Both turned to see Kaos with Beryl hugged close to him. Merin was also there, standing close to the other two.
"We could take out the stragglers, I guess." Kaos said, a smirk playing on his face.
"How did you all get past that little guy anyways? I thought he had your woman captive?" Dante asked Kaos.
"Merin conjured up some ghouls to distract Ori, while me and Schala there attacked him. Ori was too damn scared to do anything." Kaos explained. "The guy was pathetic."
Dante only nodded, letting Schala hug him. He looked up at the sky and sighed. "I think I should be getting home soon. . ."
An hour or so passed, and everyone had made it back to Schala's village. Skail had already explained what had happened to his father, and it would be few years before he actually took over as leader of the wolf clan. As he saw the group coming through the forest, he was the first to greet them; Dante and Schala were both promptly glomped together, since they were still close to each other.
"You won! That's wonderful Mr. Dante!" Skail applauded.
"Don't call me mister. . .makes me feel old. . ." Dante laughed.
"Hey," Skail began, looking for Demitri. "Where's Demi?"
Everything was, with due time, explained to everyone of the village. Dante made sure that everyone knew that Kaos and Merin were of no threat as well.
That night, the village prayed for Demitri.
It was a week before Dante could leave the island. He had to call up a ship from the mainland and it took a few days for the ship to get out there. The morning of his departure he was out at he dock ready to leave.
"I guess I'm going home alone. Gonna be hard to tell that guy Marcus about Demi though." Dante thought.
The sailors of the ship yelled for Dante to board. He nodded, heading toward the boat.
"WAIT!!" Numerous yells called after Dante. As he turned, Schala, Skail, Kaos, Merin, and Beryl all ran up to the dock, smiles on their faces.
"Came to say good bye, eh?" Dante smirked.
"Yeah, something like that. . ." Kaos said, looking somewhat amused for some reason.
"Okay, what are you up to?"
Merin nudged Schala forward. "Tell him."
Schala seemed to struggle for something to say, but Kaos was impatient.
"Jeez! She just wants to come with you man." Kaos blurted.
Dante raised an eyebrow. "That so?"
Schala nodded gently.
Dante only smirked and turned, motioning for her to follow. "Well, come on, we've got a boat to catch."
"Oh yeah!" Skail yelped, apparently remembering something. He was still wearing Dante's trenchcoat, and now began shrugging it off.
"Woah, keep it kid." Dante smiled.
"You sure?"
Dante nodded. Then he and Schala began to the boat
Everyone waved goodbye as they watched the boat set sail.
"So now what?" Beryl asked, holding Kaos around the waist.
Kaos only shrugged. "No clue hun. I know what you an me can do."
Merin scoffed. "Come on, no naughty stuff."
Kaos shook his head. "No. I've been wanting to get married for some time now, but you know how I am. . ."
Beryl hugged hard. "You've been putting it off for a few hundred years, and NOW you wanna get married?"
Kaos said nothing more on the subject, but instead changed it. "I hope we see Dante again some day."
"Yeah. . ." Merin agreed.
"I wanna fight him again." Kaos admitted.
"One day man, one day. . ."
THE END
This is all there is. Maybe that explains a few things on T.S.o.D. If I get some nice happy reviews, I'll start a new story very soon! It's going to be a continuation of The Sons of Dante!!! Who wants it, come on! Let me hear for it, please? I've wanted to write it for some time now, but I wanted to finish this one first, so that I wouldn't have to write two at a time. I'd like to thank everyone for their reviews and support, especially the one's who've been reviewing recently. If it weren't for you guys, I'd have quit this thing long ago. I'm just happy that this one was longer, and after I went back and looked compared the writing of T.S.o.D and this, I found that my writing skills have improved from small, simple sentences to longer ones.
