Oooo weeee! My ninth chapter! Is it getting to the getting of the good yet? I hope so. Yeah…what to say…what to say? Hm…nothing I guess. Oh yeah, be expecting another fanfic after I'm through with this one, because I came up with the greatest idea, and I wrote it down so that I would not forget! Pretty smart huh? . Yeah, it'll be another Devil May Cry 3 one…but I'm not giving out details—nyah! So yeah, just thought you guys might wanna keep a close eye on that one.
–Wink-
Disclaimer: I think I should post this on a billboard or something, because apparently Capcom is not paying attention to me when I say: I do NOT own Devil May Cry 3, or anything that has to do with Devil May Cry, or Devil May Cry 2, or Street Fighter, or anything like that! GOD! –Pants- and then –Points finger- Tell your lawyers to back off! They've got nothing on me! Nothing I tell you!
Dante: -Snoring-
Me: -Giggles- Although that is sooo not cool, his snoring is actually cute! Or maybe that's just me, because I have the hots for him anyway…
Dante: Yum yum yum…-Continues to snore-
Me: -Slowly gets up and leans against Dante to make attempt to escape-
Dante: -Arm wraps around Author-
Me: Oh no…I can't move…his muscular arm is too heavy to move…-Silently cries- What do I do now?
Phone rings-
Dante: -Stirs in sleep-
Me: O.o Ack! –Bites nails in fear-
When Lady and Christian made it out of the forest, they came to a river. Lady looked at the roaring dark waters.
"How are we going to get across?" she asked.
"I'll fly us over there, let's just rest for awhile." He said, sitting upon a large rock.
Lady nodded. "So, how did you become a fallen?" she asked.
Christian smirked. "Well…after being assigned to earth so many times, I began checking out all the hot women walking around. Eventually I started luring them with my charm…thus the name Cupid was born…"
"But Cupid made people fall in love." Lady said.
"Yeah, well, I made women fall in love…just with me." He smirked.
Lady rolled her eyes with a smile.
"Anyway, some time passed, and of course, I was fucking those nice and pretty women. Somehow, God got wind of it, and BAM! I was kicked out of heaven." He said with a sigh.
"You don't say…" Lady said sarcastically.
"I mean, if I was so wrong for doing what I did, why did God make me so damn…beautiful?" he asked with a grin.
"Oh get over yourself you egotistical ignoramus." Lady said flatly.
"That wasn't very nice." Christian said with a smile.
"It wasn't supposed to be." She said.
"Why are you so mean to me? What have I ever done to you?" he asked.
Lady looked at him. "I guess…you remind me of someone…a side of them that I've seen…but yet…I haven't."
Christian raised an eyebrow. "That's preposterous! I am too unique to remind you of anyone! I resent that statement…" he said whilst looking up.
"Like I said, get over yourself." Lady said.
Christian smiled. "I'm just kidding. Seriously though, what you said really didn't make any sense. You need to elaborate a little more on what you meant."
Lady looked down. "I don't want to talk about it."
"I didn't ask you if you wanted to talk about it now did I? You think that I wanted to talk about how I got kicked out of heaven?" he asked.
"Well, you should have said something. And you seemed open enough to share your story with me…" Lady said.
"Yeah, so share yours. What's this person that I remind you like?" he said.
"Well…he's like you…but then…he's not like you…" she said.
"Oh, that tells me a lot." He said sarcastically.
Lady bit her lip. "Well…he's a half demon…and he's a demon hunter…"
"Uh huh…you're doing great, just to let you know, keep going." Christian said.
"We should really get going. I have to get out of here as soon as possible." She said.
"Damn. Well, you must have the hots for the guy if he's that hard for you to talk about." He said.
"I do not!" Lady said angrily.
"That's your story…and you're probably going to stick with it." He said with a laugh.
Lady scowled. "Whatever."
"Don't worry, I don't even know the guy. But if I do happen to meet him…your secret's safe with me." He said.
"What secret? There is no secret! God…" Lady said.
"If I learned anything from women…it's not to argue with them. They either get real emotional, or real violent." Christian said.
Lady glared.
"And you're the type that gets real violent…okay, it's time to go." He said. He crouched low and jumped into the air, large, black feathered wings sprouting out of his back. He lowered himself on the ground, and held out his arms. "Shall we?"
Lady walked into his arms and wrapped hers around his neck. He held her gently and flew over the river.
When they got back on the ground, he touched his forehead and his wings disappeared.
"Why don't we just fly the rest of the way?" she asked.
"Because, if I'm seen in the air, more than likely, demons are going to come after us." He said.
"Oh…" Lady said.
"Come on, we've still got some distance to cover." He said.
They continued to walk until they came upon a canyon. They heard a loud noise. Like the sound of a thousand wings flapping, and a thousand feet marching. Christian found a crevice, and grabbed Lady, hiding inside it as well. Lady's eyes widened when she saw a large army of demons, in the air, and on foot. Suddenly…she had the urge to sneeze. She covered her mouth. When the feeling passed, she gave a small sigh, relieved. Then she sneezed.
"Fuck!" she whispered, as her sneeze echoed throughout the canyon.
All the demons stopped. They looked around. Then they kept going. When they were out of sight, Christian got out of the crevice.
"That was too close for comfort." He said.
"Well…there's something strange about this air anyway." She said.
"Must be the sulfur in the water that flows from a different part of this underworld." He said.
"Where do you think all those demons were going?" she asked.
"I don't know, but that was some army." He said, "I've never seen them come by this route before."
"What?" she asked.
"I think they're after something." He said.
"Oh…well, as long as it's not me, it's not much of a problem—right?" she asked.
'Yeah." He said.
They continued their journey.
Soon, they came upon a town.
"No one lives here, so if you hear something—run like hell." Christian said.
"Why?" Lady asked, "I mean…it shouldn't be all that dangerous if there's no one around."
"Hello? I've been this route before, I ought to know." He said, "This town tries to lure you with illusions so that you become apart of them and can't leave. You have to determine in yourself what's real and what's fake."
Lady nodded. "So how do I know you're not an illusion?" she asked.
Christian frowned. "Because I came here with you. What kind of question was that?" he said.
"Just checking." Lady said.
Just then, a little girl ran by. Then a little boy.
"Holy shit." He said.
"What?" Lady asked as Christian sped up his pace, as did she.
"Nothing, just walk faster."
"Hey pretty lady!" the children called.
Lady stopped and turned around.
"What the hell are you doing!" Christian asked.
"I…" Lady said.
The children began to run toward her. They smiled.
She had stopped…because the children looked like…her future children. One had all silver hair, while the other had black with silver streaks. She smiled. They bared teeth and claws.
"Goddamn it Lady! Come on!" Christian said. Demon dogs came out of the shadows. More children. They were surrounded.
Christian knelt and grew wings. Then he grabbed Lady and flew away.
"My babies!" she cried, "Let me go, my babies are down there! My babies!"
"Lady! Listen to me, it's all in your mind, those weren't your children! Calm down!" Christian said.
Lady sobbed. "My babies…"
Christian gave a sigh of sympathy. "We're almost there. Don't cry." He said.
They came upon large black gates.
Christian lowered the both of them onto the ground.
"So…you have children?" he asked.
"Uh…no." she said, rubbing her head.
"Then why were you screaming: 'My babies'?" he asked.
"I was?" she asked.
"You must have forgotten…because it was just an illusion." He said.
"Oh." She said.
"Well, this is it, or do you want me to go through the gates with you?" he asked.
Lady looked at the gates. The gates to her freedom. The gates to…Dante…
She thought about Destiny and the others.
"Why would they put gates here?" she asked.
"That's how the demons get in and out. There are three others. This is the west gate." He said.
"Oh. Okay." Lady said. She turned to Christian and hugged him. "Thank you for all your help." She said.
"No problem." He said, "I hope you find who you're looking for, and I hope that I see you again."
"I hope so too." Lady said with a smile, "I don't need you to come with me because you need to go get the others."
Christian nodded. "Alright, I'll do that." He said, "Good luck."
"Yeah, good luck to you too." She said.
Then she went through the gates.
