Forever Hunters

Devil May Cry/Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Dante gets called by Giles to Sunnydale to train Buffy in order to highend up her skills. Unknown to the Buffy gang though is Dante's true being and the new danger both of them will face.

Chapter 2: A surprising job

"Hey, you don't have to go that fast!"

Buffy locked her arms around Dante's waist more tighter after she almost slipped form a sharp turn.

"Can't help it! I love the speed. And besides I don't want to get shit faced by some punks again."

"Is it because that huge case. What is in there anyway?"

"That's nothing of your concern!"

Buffy just let a slight "aha" escape from her lips. Soon, Dante stopped in front of her house. They got off the bike and walked to the door. But before Buffy opened the lock, she faced Dante again.

"Ok, hotshot. Just one more thing, hide your guns. I don't want that my sister goes crazy again and bombard you with questions, OK?"

Dante just nodded. He unloaded the guns and put them into his bag. Buffy released another sigh. At lease she could be sure that he did not attempt to shoot her. The house was at its usual shape. Full of chips, coke, pizza, a sleeping Giles and a tired and pissed-off Dawn. Dawn wanted to go so badly hunting with her sister, but Buffy would always come with the usual "its too early, practice more and then..." line.

"Hows the hunting?" Dawn asked in a tired mood.

"The usual. This time with a guest!"

Dawn turned around and her eyes brightend up. A red clothed man with white hair, like Spike's, stood in front of her. Her excitement highend up again.

"Hey man.. Nice outfit. Who are you? A Demon? An Angel? Or..."

"Woh, thats enough kid... I am just here for a job. Where is that "Giles"?

Buffy punched the sleeping man awake. Giles, who had been buried by chips, which Dawn spilled when she reached for it, fought out of his dark prison. He was kinda still dreaming though. Still walking like a drunk. Too bad that reality came faster than he expected. That dream was huh yeah "good" after all. Anyways, after he slapped all the food away and put his glasses on, he recognised why he was woken up.

"Ah Mr. Dante I presume.."

"Yeah, And you must be that pimp voice..."

Buffy and Dawn raised an eyebrow.

"Pimp? Giles???" they both shouted.

"Ohhh nonono, calm down, girls. Its just my voice sounded a bit homosexually over the phone. Might have been the connection."

"Hope so. I see that you ARE a full grown man."

"Well thanks...."

Giles stared at him again after understanding the insult. That guy is the total trashtalking machine. He walked back to Buffy.

"Well, I guess you have met Buffy and Dawn Summers?"

"Oh yeah!" Dawn could not take her eyes of that man. Buffy noticed it and slammed her on the head.

"Ouch, what the hell was that for?"

"Don't get any funny ideas! He is probably 10 years older than you! And you don't even know him"

"I am old enough to look at any man I want! Besides you would just do it with every dead man you would meet!"

The sibling rivalry started again. Giles was experienced enough in this event though he took some time to seperate them. Meanwhile Dante dropped his stuff and sat down on the couch. He took the open bag of chips and crunched around while he watched Giles doing his work. After that, the trio took a seat on the adjacent couch, while Dawn dropped herself besides Dante. Buffy though pulled her away again and stared at her angrily. She just stuck her tounge out.

"So Mr. Dante, how was your trip to Sunnydale?"

"Better than I thought. So now stop the talk and get down to business. I don't want to waste the time chatting while the action is waiting out there."

"Well yes, I mean, you would not be seeing action outside but more with my slayer here!"

Dante leaned back.

"What the hell are you talking about? Are you now really a pimp or what?"

Buffy was about to stand up and smack him, but Giles held her off.

"Well, since you are a prominent figure in the demon hunting business I would like you to train my slayer."

Dante sat there, stoned, and with an open mouth. Now he took all the time, energy and money to get to California to teach a girl how to fight? And she IS fighting alright. So why the hell did she need more training? Buffy was also surprised. Why the hell would she need more training from that trashtalking freak? Dawn though was happy.

"So now, you are telling me to come here all the way to train her?"

"Yes!"

"I am outta here!"

"Wait, wait, wait! Please let me explain!"

"Does it have to do with a big devil rising and bringing the apocalypse?"

"Well, we don't know it yet but..."

"I am outta here!"

Dante grabbed his stuff and headed toward the door. Giles tried to stop him again. Buffy though was confused and Dawn was sad that such a hot guy left again. Dante was pissed off like the devil. He just wanted a nice job where you would slay demons, kill the big boss and earn a load of cash. But instead he was lured here to teach a girl how to fight. That was enough. Though as soon as he slammed the door open, a vampire stood right in front of him. Thirsting for blood he fletched his teeth ready to suck the first human empty. Dante just stood and looked at the monster with a grim expression.

"Damn you are ugly..." and kicked the monster 10 m away from him. He looked up again and saw more vamps emerging from the darkness. Dante became excited...

"Everyone stay in here!" he said and packed his weapons out including his sword. Thank god that he had silver bullets with him. As he shut the door behind him, knowing that no vamp would enter uninvited unless the owner of the house is dead, he slowly walked to the middle of the front garden, while the vamps are garthering in a circle around him. Buffy, Dawn and Giles just watched Dante from the window.

"What is that sword on his back? Looks soo cool!" Dawn stared at the Sparda on Dante's back. Buffy now would take a weapon and help Dante although he was a dick, but Giles held her back.

"Now he will show you why I brought him here to train you."

Back to Dante, he looked at his watch.

"Hmm 10 vamps, lets say 10 seconds, shall we?"

The vamps were uninterested by his talk. The first one could not hold it any longer and charged. Dante drew Ebony and blew him to dust. 1. The second one charged from behind but only to be blasted by Ivory. 2. Now everyone charged. Dante managed the next 3 ones but the last 5 came in too close. Time for sword action. He drew the Sparda and sliced one vamp's head off while kickjumping into the air. Whielding the sword smoothly, Dante cut the rest of the vamps into pieces leaving only one with an arm left. The vampire knew he had no chance.

"Useless scum, run while you can!" Dante said while pointing Ivory at him.

The vamp stood up and ran away only to be turned into dust a few meters further. Dante holstered his gun back.

"Alas, my finger must have slipped. Sorry for that!"

Buffy could not believe what she just saw. In less than 5 seconds, Dante killed the entire gang of vamps. With that speed and strength and that sword, he could not possibly be human. As soon as he entered again, she grabbed the nearest weapon and held it on his throat.

"So now, I thank you for the work you did for me, but who are you really. No human can do this scene you pulled off?"

Dante stood there silently. Then he sidestepped and grabbed the stick, while sending Buffy to the ground.

"Guess we need some work here, and I am human enough, thank you very much! Pimp, I think I like this town now. I will take the job, for now.... But I hope the pay and the monsters are good!"

Giles smiled relieved, while Buffy had trouble getting up and Dawn grinning excitingly.

"So, what is that sword exactly?"
