Thanks for the reviews everyone! I wasn't even aware that my account didn't accept anonymous reviews! How stupid of me. Heh heh, anyways, thanks for pointing that out. And yes, I am fully aware that the artifact that may kill all demons may kill Dante and Trish too. That's why Dante went to the castle, to find more information about the artifact. And I thought Dante would eventually get tired of killing demons because he would realize it was useless if the entire race couldn't be destroyed. Well, on with the new chapter and remember, R&R!!!
The Keeper of the Artifact
Dante rode his motorcycle in the dark streets of Ireland. It was very late, and the night was cold. He was in central Ireland and had a long way to go to reach northern Ireland. He wasn't even sure if he would be able to get there that night. He would probable stop in any motel if he didn't reach the north in a few hours. He fought himself not to fall asleep.
"I've been here for a day now, and still haven't even gotten to the damn place" he mumbled under his breath.
One and a half hours later, he stopped at a cheap motel in middle of the highway. He parked his motorcycle in the small parking lot and entered the motel. The motel pretty much reminded him of his office. It was made out of rotten wood, was all messy, and made a cracking noise every now and then. He almost felt like home. He looked around and there was no one. But then an attendant came out of a door in the corner of the room. It was a young woman in a sleeve-less shirt and jeans.
"Hey, may I help you?" the attendant asked him.
"Yes umm... I need a room for the night" Dante said, followed by a yawn.
The attendant looked at Dante from top to bottom. She got a key to a suite and tried to flirt with Dante. Dante was fully aware of this, but he was too tired and busy to do something about it. After all, he had been around chicks a countless times. He just took the key and ignored whatever the woman did to get his attention. He went up some staircases and reached the appropriate suite. That night, Dante slept in his regular demon-hunting clothes. They were the only clothes he brought to Ireland. He just took his boots off and went to bed. But then he started to hear that familiar voice in his head.
"Dante, there is no time to lose. Come to the castle now" the voice told him.
It was a female voice of some sort. 'Can't this woman just let me sleep for one night?' Dante thought to himself.
"Can't I go tomorrow?" Dante complained.
He looked like a kid complaining about waking up to go to school. Dante just wanted to sleep for the night. He would kill the demons tomorrow. But no, that damn voice had to wake him up in middle of the night.
"No Dante, the sooner you come the better" the voice rushed.
"I'm not going anywhere until you give me answers" Dante spat.
"Ok then, but promise you'll come right away afterwards" the voice said inside his head.
"Yes, I promise" Dante assured in a mocking voice.
"What is it that you want to know?" the voice asked.
"Who the hell are you" Dante told the female voice.
"I am the keeper of the artifact you seek" the voice began.
"What's your name?" Dante asked.
"Xeefa" the now-named voice answered.
"What exactly are you?" Dante continued the interrogation.
"I am an angel sent by God to make sure the artifact stays safe" Xeefa admitted.
"Why does God want me?" Dante asked very irritated.
"I have no time now, I have told you a lot now come to the castle fast" Xeefa ordered.
Dante sighed. He was completely pissed off by this whole new mission. Why couldn't he just use the artifact and kill the damn demons already? He couldn't even sleep in peace for one night! He got up from the bed, put his boots on and left the room. He returned the key to the sleepy attendant and rode off in his bike again. Five hours later, he finally reached the castle of Nasgarth. He stopped the motorcycle and went up a huge set of stairs until he reached the castle doors which opened alone. He saw a beautiful woman dressed in ancient Greek-like clothes and blonde hair that reached the back of her neck. She had white, feathery angle wings sticking out of her back.
"It's about damn time I got here" Dante snarled.
"Thank you for coming" Xeefa thanked.
"Yeah whatever, get to the details" Dante mocked raising an eyebrow.
Xeefa took out the half of a golden medallion. She handed it to Dante gently.
"What the hell is this?" Dante questioned the angel.
"It is half of the artifact" Xeefa explained.
"Ok, now I have even more questions" Dante snapped.
Xeefa signaled Dante to clam down with her hand. Dante was pissed at this angel. He would've shot the damn angel if she wasn't a holy creature. After all, he didn't want to suffer the fires of hell and join his worst enemies when he died.
"All your questions will be answered now" Xeefa assured the impatient demon slayer.
She took out a white round light and released it. The small light floated in the air defying gravity. It floated all the way to Dante.
"What the..." Dante began.
He couldn't finish his sentence because the small light went inside his chest. Dante fell unconscious on the cold stone floor of the old castle. Meanwhile, Trish rode her own motorcycle on the highway. She had just asked an Irish man where the castle of Nasgarth was. She had a little bit of trouble understanding his words at first, but she eventually managed to understand. Now she was on her way to the castle. To find her partner and see what exactly was going on. Her mind was filled with questions and confusion, but she was determined to find the answers. It was dawn already, and Trish wasn't really sleepy. She didn't sleep much since she was a demon herself. She just yawned now and then.
"No time for sleep Trish, right now you gotta get to the bottom of this" she told herself.
After a few hours, she finally got to the castle. She saw the doors were opened and Dante's motorcycle was already there. She felt a bit of relief, but still wanted to go inside. She found herself facing Xeefa.
"Who..." Trish asked.
"I'm Xeefa, Dante will explain everything soon" Xeefa interrupted.
Trish looked at the unconscious demon slayer that lay on the floor.
"What have you done to him?" the blonde demon asked.
But when she looked at where Xeefa was, she was gone. Trish didn't know if she could trust her, but she looked like an angel after all. She had white wings and that meant she was a good angel. So she stayed where she was. Waiting for her partner to wake up.
"He looks so cute when he's unconscious" Trish said smiling.
Realizing what she had just said, she gasped.
"Did I just say that?" she asked herself in shock.
Dante began to wake up slowly. Trish hoped he hadn't heard what she said. She was developing feelings for him. She felt weird at the moment. Dante got up rubbing his head.
"Damn does it feel good to have answers!" Dante told Trish cheerily.
"Yeah, I know it does; so give me all those answers right now" Trish ordered.
"Fine" the silver-haired man told his partner.
As he began to speak, Trish carefully listened. She would finally get the answers she was seeking.
So there it is, the second chapter. I took the anonymous thingy off by the way. I usually update soon so that's a good thing for you guys. Well, R&R!
