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 6: To die or not to die, Part 1
Buffy sat on her new desk the first time. Finally, work!!! It was first time she felt happy about it. No more thinking about demon slaying, black magic and what so ever. And the best is no more Dante till weekends! They both agreed to suspend their training for a while. It was hard enough to even convince Dante that there was still life apart from the killing. Oh well. He was quite the nutshell.
"Anyways, lets go councelling!!!"
She eagerly awaited her first case in her first normal job.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dante was bored. Ever since Buffy decided that they could rest for a while from the whole training stuff, he only hung somewhere around the Summer's home watching TV or reading the paper. Xander and Willow were at Tara's grave, whoever she was. Anya went shopping for a woman's sake, Spike slept, and the Summers were at school. He could go training by himself but without a partner... Well it was only the first day. Why the hell would he try to make himself crazy for just one day? While still in thought of what to do next, Dawn appeared in the living room. She threw her bag on the floor and crashed herself on the nearest couch.
"Guess you had a great day, huh?"
Dante looked back at her.
"Probably same as you."
"I would give anything for a free day!"
Dawn leaned her head backwards. School was some sort of hell. Not to forget that it is built upon the gate to hell, hellmouth. What a drag. To sit and listen in a building while you could be attacked by almost anything... There should be a better word for that than hell. Right now she needed something cool and refreshing.... like.... ice-cream! She jumped up from the couch. Dante was surprised by the pumped girl.
"Wowowowo, now full of energy? You sure that you did not get into some black magic?"
"Not yet. I am going to get some ice-cream."
Before she could exit the door, she remembered that it was Dante who was sitting there. Oh boy.... She backtracked a bit and faced Dante once again.
"Well, huh... You want to join me?"
"Sure, why not. Don't want to rott in this place alone anyway."
Did not want to be alone? Wow, I think I will get him soon. Oh man I am going nuts... Dawn brought her thoughts together and followed Dante to his harley.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffy slendered through the door looking for people she could talk to about her first day but all that she found was her own empty house. It was night already. Work at her former high school really took some energy and time. She called for people but the only answer she got was either singing birds or a barking dog from the neighborhood. She was surprised a bit cause normally Dawn would be answering now from her room or Spike would grunt from downstairs. Where could she be anyways. Oh, well why not have an empty house for her alone one time! She went into the kitchen and made herself a cup of coffee. Back in the living room she made herself comfortable on her couch and switched on the TV for the news flash. The weather annoucement was about to start when she heard the sounds of a bike parking in front of her garage. She knew who was coming.
"Man, for the first time I get an empty house and now I get this..."
She set her eyes on the door only to see a laughing Dawn with full of shopping bags. Dawn stopped and stared at her sister.
"Dawn what did I tell you about shopping?"
"Well, I really need a new make over. And besides its the total stress killer!"
"Well, thats true but do I really need to tell you again about our financial status?"
Dawn was about to answer when Dante stepped through the door in a complete new outfit. A brown jeans jacket, stylish jeans and a black shirt underneath. Buffy held her breath. Damn, he was good look.... What the hell was I thinking? Where the hell did he get the money anyway?
"What the hell happend to you?"
"Ask that person over there," he pointed his finger at Dawn. "She is even worse than you when it comes to do-overs..."
Dawn playfully slapped him on his arm. Buffy recollected her thoughts. She just hoped that Dawn invested in the looks of that idiot with their own money.
"Dawn were you actually spending our money for him?"
"Why not? He really needed more clothes than just the red."
Buffy pulled Dawn over.
"DAWN? WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!"
"Buffy, chill out! it was just a joke. He paid with his money of course. And even lend me some for my stuff."
Dawn struggled herself free from her sisters grip. Buffy took a step backwards realizing her fault. She looked at Dawn again.
"Oh well, still you need to control that ... thing...!" She looked over to Dante, still amazed a bit by his do-over. "And you... well... go do your business..."
Dante smiled. Willow, Xander and Anya entered the house and Spike came out of his hole. They all stared at Dante again like in the beginning.
"Wow man, nice do-over. Who did that?" Spike asked.
"Slayer's sis. Can't say I hate it."
"Yo you want a drink. I was about to go out."
Dante nodded and they both rode off into the city on Dante's harley. Willow, Xander and Anya gathered in the living room while Dawn collected her stuff and escaped into her room. Buffy sat down on her couch and covered her face with her hands. Willow was worried.
"You OK, Buffy?"
Buffy rubbed her face with her hands.
"Will, am I a bad person? I mean I totally misjudged both of them just now!"
"Ah comon Buffy. You just had your first day at work. That was the same how I felt after I started at the construction site."
Anya interrupted Xander.
"Yeah and that is still how you feel ...."
"ANYA..."
Anya backed off with her comments. She stood up and took the groceries into the kitchen.
"Yeah Buffy, don't kick yourself. I mean its just natural when you come back after you had the stress in school oh I mean work."
Buffy lifted her face.
"Yeah I think so."
She immediatly switched the subject though to a more important one.
"So Will, what do we know about our new tourist here."
Willow stood up and walked to the shelf where she searched for the file she made specifically for Dante. She handed over the thin file to Buffy and powered up her Mac.
"Well it's not much, basically its close to nothing."
Xander continued.
"All what we know is the word Sparda."
Xander handed her a paper from the file. Buffy began to read.
"I was the one who witnissed the war, a war that was ment destroy us all. Humanity was oblivious to the dangers that earth bore. But I have seen it all. All the evil that stormed out of the gates of hell and rushed through our lands like a plague. As a priest I prayed for God to forgive our sins. And he answered, with a messiah to save us all. I could still feel the light of his eyes. These red eyes... A devil who betrayed and rose against the forces of darkness alone. Sparda... I still remember how he fought on the battlefield. Strong, cold and ruthless, I expected no less from a spawn of hell. In one quick decisive battle, he eliminated the entire invasion. He then asked me to pray for his return. I would not believe it either that I was lending support to a devil, but he was our only hope for survival. He then dissapeared into the portal to end it once and for all. I did do what he asked me to do. When the moon reached his fullest shape, he returned to the human world. Victorious, but badly wounded. I believe God has given this creature his blessing to enter holy ground. I took him in and nursed him back to health. But then he suddenly left, saying that there were more trials to come. I have never seen him since his departure. But even if we won't cross paths again for the rest of my life, I will always address my prayers to the friend of the humans, because I know that he will protect us till the end. So hear me, Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, may our prayers protect you as you protected our hope and may his light shine and protect you as you protect his children from the dark..."
Buffy stood up and walked to Willow.
"Wow that was quite some story."
"Yeah, I thought so too. Fred e-mailed me this when I asked her for help. She had to break into a secret library to get this. Greetings from Angel too."
Buffy let out a quite sigh.
"What else do we have on this guy?"
"Well right now as you see there are just addresses and notes about him and how he helps people with mysterious problems. Quite difficult to get to that too even with hacking abilities."
"Seems like he runs an organization like Angel."
"Yeah.."
Buffy handed the paper back to Xander who put it back into the file. She yawned and stretched her arms out.
"Guys I think I have enough of this for now. Sleep calls, see you tommorrow."
The rest all wished her goodnight and as soon as they heard her door close they all let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank god, she did not ask for more!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at her desk, Buffy zipped on her cup of coffee. She already had more cases coming and going like she was the best and free psychiatric in town. Sexual problems, love problems, gas problems Man, what a drag! Almost anything comes to her. Well at least the next one is normal. Homework problems. Its a girl who refused to make her homework for an unknown reason. Her teachers were already nuts about her. She supposed to be a smart kid, good grades and everything. But she lately thought that school work have no importance anymore. Anyways, she confronted her about it now.
"So I see your grades are dropping because you refuse to work!"
"Correct!"
"Why, you should care cause you are a pretty smart girl."
"Correct!"
"So then why do you not care?"
"Well I believe its kinda pointless."
"Why is it so pointless?"
"I like you shirt. Mexx?"
"Oh yeah. One of my favorites..."
Buffy drifted off abit but then got back to the real subject of this talk.
"uh.. Don't change the subject now, Cassie. Why don't you want to graduate?"
"Well, cause next Friday I am gonna die!"
