Chapter four! Like OMG, I didn't expect to do this much! I mean…because the chapters seem really long. But that's a good thing, because I like to read and write…and I know you guys like to read, so yeah!

Dante: That's it! –Grabs sword- I don't know why I didn't think of this before! Ahhhhhhhh! –Stabs closet door and kicks through it until he is free-

Me: -Blink blink- and then –Glomp- Oooo Dante! Where were you? I was sooo worried!

Dante: -Twitch twitch- Get your hands off of me. –Death glare-

Me: Uh…okay. Bastard, I'm worried about you and this is the thanks that I get! I even filed a missing persons report to the police for you!

Dante: I was never missing! God, I swear you are an idiot! All you had to do was look in the freakin' closet you freakin' genius!

Me: -Lip quivers- Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Dante: -Rolls eyes and looks down- Hey…where's all that water coming from?

Me: Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Dante: Alright, ALRIGHT! Stop crying, just stop it already! I'm sorry! God…

Me: -Sniffle- You don't really mean it…

Dante: -Sighs- Okay, how can I show you that I mean it?

Me: Hmm. –Raises eyebrows suggestively-

Dante: Uh, no.

Me: Well, can I hold your sword?

Dante: -Smirk- Sure. –Hands her sword-

Me: Woah! This thing is really…ugh, heavy! –Falls backward with sword on top of chest- Dante…Dante? A little help here…please?

Dante: I don't think so…in fact, you stay right there for a little while, I'll come back later—kay?

Me: Uh…I guess…I mean, as long as you come back, right?

Dante: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. –Laughs and walks away-

Me: Hey, what was that supposed to mean? Dante? Dante! You'd better come back! Come back…okay?


Disclaimer: I don't O-W-N Devil May Cry 3,the characters of DMC 3 or anything of the sort, you know…yada yada…blah blah blah, Capcom (the real people behind the magnificent creation of oh so sexy Dante…-drool drool-) and all that good stuff. –Wink- Oh yeah, except for the character Ayame/Obsidia…I own her…and the story title and the chapters and…well yeah, the ideas behind this fic!
Lady groaned. She awakened in a dark room. She got up and rubbed the dull, aching pain that she felt in her cheek. She remembered seeing Obsidia's fist…and then darkness…

"When I get my hands on that fucking bitch, I am going to tear her to pieces…very slowly and painfully." Lady said vehemently.

She felt around the walls and found two door handles. She pulled them open with all of her might, but the doors wouldn't budge. Suddenly the doors opened and she fell backward. Lady looked up, and there was a young girl holding a lantern.

"You're the new one…the one that I've heard the guards talking about…" the girl said, her voice shaken with fear and her eyes filled with exhaustion, as well as dark circles under them.

"Who are you?" Lady asked. She was exhausted herself…things seemed to be getting more puzzling, and it seemed as though she were on a never-ending ride from hell.

"There's no time to talk." The girl said, "Please, follow me to your freedom."

"Sounds good to me." Lady said with a slight smile, and she rose to her feet. "Wait just a moment."

Lady saw a bed in the corner of the room from the dim light of the lantern, and she stuffed whatever items she could underneath the blankets to resemble a sleeping body.

"Alright young one, let's proceed shall we?" Lady said.

The girl nodded. "We'll have to move quickly, I hope that you can keep up."

Lady nodded. She closed the doors to the room and the girl walked down the hall briskly. Lady followed, keeping up with the pace. The girl stopped. Lady could hear footsteps.

"Oh no!" the girl said, frightened.

Lady pulled the girl and herself into another room. "What are you doing?" Lady asked.

"Well…I'm quite frightened…I've never done this before!" the girl said.

Lady sighed. "Well…that doesn't do us any good. Do you even know the way out of here?"

"Yes…" the girl said.

Lady gave a small smile. She held the girl gently by her shoulders. "Then you can't be afraid. Just think about how to get out of here. With that knowledge, I would think one would have a tiny bit of hope."

The girl smiled, bearing broken and rotten teeth. Lady tried not to cringe on the inside.

The girl was pretty…but very filthy. It wasn't as though it was her fault though, so Lady felt the utmost compassion, and became filled with a determination to leave wherever she was with the girl by her side. Lady peeked into the hall and saw guards walk by the room. When they were out of sight, Lady turned to the girl.

"Okay love, this is it. It's time to put all your fear away, okay?" Lady said, her eyes filled with reassurance.

The girl nodded. Then they made their way into the hallway once again. Soon they came to a dead end.

"Are you sure this is right?" Lady asked.

The girl nodded. She put down the lantern and pushed a brick out of place. Then she moved the wall. Lady watched with anticipation. A secret passage was opened. The girl smiled. She wanted Lady to go through first.

"Thank you." Lady said as she went through.

The girl followed, pulling on a metal handle to close the entrance to the secret passage once more. As they traveled the secret passage, Lady found that the flooring beneath her was growing steep with every step. She slid and gave a startled cry.

"Calm down!" the girl said as they slid down the tunnel, "That's how the tunnel's supposed to be!"

Lady stopped screaming and tried to calm her racing heart. They came to the end of the tunnel and landed in soft and sticky black goo.

"Eww…" Lady said. She looked around and saw the castle from whence they just were. She smiled and hugged the girl. "You did it!"

The girl giggled. "Yeah! I'm so proud of myself! Wait 'til my people hear about this!"

"Okay, so where do we go from here?" Lady asked.

The girl took out a stone. "Um…I have to look for our other way of escape." She said.

"What?" Lady asked.

"Well…this darkness is unnatural, so it's still hard to see, even with a lantern. That's why I have this Angel's Tear." The girl said.

"Well…alright…just move quickly, I have no weapons on me." Lady said, "So I can't protect you if we fall into danger."

The girl nodded. She held the stone out in the palm of her hand and it glowed faintly. Suddenly they were walking through a forest and she held the stone out to every tree. The leaves on one tree began to glow.

"It's this one." The girl said. She took Lady's hand, and pulled her inside of the tree's trunk.

Lady couldn't describe the feelings of raw bewilderment that she felt when she was pulled through a tree trunk. It felt a lot like being pulled through…gelatin…firm gelatin…

Next, they came upon another forest. This one was lit up with moonlight, so it was much easier to see where one was going.

"What is this place?" Lady asked.

"We are still in the underworld, but this is a refuge and haven for people like us." The girl said.

"Well…how ever did you end up in a place like this?" Lady asked.

"I…I was brought here by a demon, but I managed to escape. I used to live in the real world that you have seen everyday of your life. I began to take notice that some of my family members and friends were mysteriously disappearing…and I decided to investigate on my own…but it was the biggest mistake that I could have ever made. Now I can't get out of this place. I did manage to find my friends and family, though it took awhile, because they were scattered throughout this underworld." The girl said.

"Wait…what do you mean this underworld? What's the difference between this place and hell?" Lady asked.

"Well…hell is where people go when they die. You, my family, friends, and I, are not dead. We were brought here for the evil pleasures of demons: to be tortured until we die, and then sent to hell to be tortured forever." The girl said.

They came upon a clearing. There was a small village.

"We're safe here. It is very rare that a demon passes through here, but should that ever happen, we have angels, which had been taken captive as well, to protect us." The girl said.

"I see. Is there anyway that I can get back to where I'm from? I need to find someone…" Lady said.

"I'm not sure, but we'll do the best that we can to help you." The girl said with a smile.

They came upon a small house. The girl knocked in a secret code. There was a knock on the other side of the door in response.

"It's okay, we can enter." The girl said. She opened the door, entering, and Lady followed.

There were a few people in the room, doing different things…making weapons, cooking, or sleeping.

"The rest of my people are in other houses of the village…just in case you were wondering." The girl said.

"Ah…" Lady said as she gained clarity as to why there were so few people in the room than the girl had spoken of.

"Oh," the girl said whilst blushing, "Where are my manners? My name is Destiny. What's yours?"

"You can call me Lady." Lady said.

"Well, that man over there making weapons, he's Mike. The girl over by the fire cooking, is Michelle, and that boy over there sleeping, is Joel. Then there's Ann and Melissa. They're sisters, as well as my cousins." Destiny said, "Why don't you sit down and I'll get you something to eat?"

"Hm…okay." Lady said with a smile.

Destiny walked away and Lady sat in a chair…her thoughts turning to Dante.

'Something isn't right…I have to get to Dante and let him know about Obsidia…I know I hate him…but…Obsidia isn't worthy enough to kill him.' She thought. She smiled to herself, satisfied with her reasoning. 'Yeah…that's it…' she thought.
