A/N: Thanks for the reviews. I know it was short but hopefully I can make this one longer. I am open to any suggestions about my story or anything else actually. Thanks and enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy 7 or Devil May Cry. I know I neglected to leave a disclaimer for Devil May Cry in the first chapter. I was in a rush to leave my house that I forgot to type it. Hopefully I don't get harassed by FanFiction…
Dante fiddled with his guns as he sat in the desolate train. He cleaned and reloaded Ebony and Ivory, the names of his guns(respectively, Ivory is white and Ebony is black), and holstered them in his belt. The demon slayer kicked up his feet and rested them on the bench across from him. The door coming from the next car creaked open. Dante upholstered Ivory and pointed it at the door, not even looking. A young brown headed girl walked in from the other car. Her pink dress swayed as she walked. Her dark green eyes rested upon Dante, who was staring at the ceiling and pointing a gun at her chest.
"Umm, excuse me? Would you mind… ummm… lowering your gun, please?" she uttered in a soft tone, smiling gently. Dante found himself standing quickly in this woman's presence and holstering his gun.
"Sorry, miss, in my line of business you have to be ready for everything" he grinned.
She giggled and stuck out her hand, "Well, I'm not really in a business but I always have to watch my back" she paused for a moment and then smiled. "I'm sorry, I am Aeris, and I sell flowers for living".
Dante shook her hand firmly and nodded, "I'm Dante. I'm a demon hunter and I have my own business, Devil May Cry" he added a little gusto to the store's name, hoping to impress her. She giggle again and sat down. Dante sat next to her and propped his feet up. She looked him over and smiled.
"What brings you to Midger, Mr. Dante?" her question was simple.
He sighed and pulled a flask from his red jacket and screwed off the top, "I got a call a few days ago from some nut case asking me if I have ever killed innocents during any of my contracts. I told him that in my line of business innocents are bound to get hurt," he took a swig of his flask and wiped his mouth, "or worse killed. He then offered me a job. He asked me to kill this man that apparently wasn't a demon. I asked him why and he said because the man he wants dead has done something to him that deserves a bounty. I told him I don't do bounties on humans. The man laughed. All of a sudden he appears in my office. He's dressed in black leather and laid 4 briefcases carrying half a mil' a piece in them on my desk. I asked him for a photograph of man and he handed it to me gratefully" Aries squinted a little taking in what he told her.
"So what did the man look like?" she asked wanting to see the picture. Dante dug around in his jacket till he found a folded photograph and pulled it out.
"Here ya go" he handed it to her and leaned his head back, staring at the ceiling again. Aeris studied the picture and turned back to Dante.
"I've seen him… he bought a flower from me in the slums and told me to stay back so I wouldn't get hurt" she looked puzzled as to why anyone would want that person dead. Dante sighed.
"He is my target and I am going to ki-", at that moment the train stopped and the doors flew open. In poured a group of smug looking characters all turning their heads ever which way to see if anyone saw them.
"Cloud, wanna come look at this with me?" a voice came from the other side of the car. Dante looked to the source of the voice, lingering a moment savor her beauty, then turned to its target. A well built man answered the call and walked toward her. Spiky blond hair adorned his head and glowing blue eyes rested on Dante and Aries a moment before turning back to the girl who called him. Dante grinned and stood up.
"Cloud Strife, turn your spiky headed ass around" he said in a gruff voice. The man before him turned his head and looked at Dante.
"What do you want?" he said coolly. Dante laughed.
"There's a bounty on your head, and I intend on taking it. Cloud shook his head and turned all the way around. The girl behind him took a fighting stance but Cloud told her to stand down.
"No need to get dirty, Tifa. I can handle this bounty hunter by my self" he had a smug look on his face.
'Cocky…" Dante thought, 'I like him. Too bad I have to kill him'.
Dante smiled. "I see you got a sword, do want to fight this with honor or should I just shoot you right now?"
A large black man stood up with a grafted gun arm pointed at Dante. "You wanna kill him? You gonna hafta go thro' me first!".
The girl named Tifa stood next to Cloud and raised her fists, "Me, too".
Aeris jumped up and stood between Dante and Cloud. She urged him, "Stop , Dante, please". Dante's hand moved away from his holstered guns and he sat back down, not realizing what he had done.
He scoffed and looked to Cloud, "What did a stiff like you do to a guy to make someone pay 2 mil' for your death? Not even most demons are worth that". Cloud sat down across from Dante.
"You're a demon slayer?" he paused waiting for Dante's reaction. Dante nodded and Cloud continued, "Who put out a bounty on my head?"
Dante shrugged and answered, "I dunno, but he wore allot of leather and had really long silver hair. And his sword was huge, prolly 7 feet long". Tifa nearly fell over and Cloud looked shocked. They looked at each other and Cloud said, "Sephiroth…" He spat the name and looked back to Dante. The demon slayer grinned and shook his head and opened his mouth only for it to be closed at the sound of an alarm. A brown headed woman ran through the doors from another car, panting.
"I'm sorry! I messed up! They moved the security checks up! We have to go now!" she pointed toward the emergency exit. The black man, Barrett, looked like he would explode. No other choice left the group jumped from the car.
Dante and Aeris stood there dumbfounded. A troupe of ShinRa soldiers emerged from the other car and charged Dante. He grinned and drew Ebony and Ivory. The two custom handguns fired bullets with electromagnetic charges deep inside of the hot lead. As the bullets pierced the bodies of the soldiers, the charges blew and shocked the soldiers with intense electricity. They slumped to the floor dead. Aeris turned her head as to not see the blood pool around the lifeless ShinRa. More troops began to fill up the car.
"We're outnumbered and out gunned" the words coming from his mouth daunted his pride as he grabbed Aeris and jumped from the train. He landed on the next track with Aeris on top of him. The wind was knocked out of him as he passed in and out of conscienceless. His companion rose to her feet and muttered a few words. A glowing light covered Dante and he gasped to take in the air. He heaved heavily and coughed. Aeris giggled and rubbed his head.
"You need to stop smoking" she said with a smile. Dante smirked and thanked her. "So yall had to jump, too?" said a gruff voice behind them. They turned and saw Tifa, Cloud, and Berrett walking up to them.
"No card" Dante said bluntly. Aeris shrugged to signify she had never ridden on the train before. Cloud pointed up ahead and they saw green bars blocking the rest of the way. He walked over to it and examined a shaft next to the green security bars. "We have slide down this" he suggested that Dante go first, seeing as he was the skinniest guy. Dante grumbled and jumped down into the shaft.
"I start off hunting the bastered then I take orders from him… sheesh, I need to get a new hobby"
A/N: I hope this clears up things from the first chapter. Inuyasha? I don't see how you could get Inuyasha out of the first chapter but that's just me. Oh, and Dante is the main character in Devil May Cry. It's for the PS2 and one of the most awsomest games there is… next to Final Fantasy of corse. Well review and ill keep going!!!
