Boy, has it been a long time, or what? Finally back from spring break(as well as an uncanny shortness of creativity), rarin' to write! I'm happy, cause I'm on a sugar high, and I have 32 reviews! This gives me joy! Anywho, here's another chapter in the seemingly endless tale I am weaving. In actuality, it's gonna end in like two chapters. Yeah.
"Damn it! How can there be nothing to watch on two hundred channels of television?" Rayne sat back, thoroughly irritated. It had been one week since her kidnapping incident. One week, two bottles of antiseptic, and three rolls of paper towels had been required to recover from getting the little disc out of her back. She acted as though it had never even happened. Right now though, she only seemed concerned with finding something to do. Dante shot her an inquiring look, and she let out an annoying:
"I'm bored!"
No response.
"Really bored."
Nothing.
"So bored I could poke myself in the eye just to see if it hurts."
"Go ahead. No one's stopping you."
Rayne did not stab herself in the eye, but rather, grabbed her blades and went to stab someone else in the eye. Boredom was really taking its toll. After she'd left, Dante sat for a while, doing absolutely nothing. Since there was nothing else to do, he decided he'd go out for a little hunt of his own.
The cool evening breeze greeted Rayne's nostrils as she strode outside. She stretched her arms back, inhaling deeply. Ah, sweet freedom. It was bitterly cold, pitch black, and moist. However, to Rayne, it was paradise. Her moment of relish was disrupted by a sharp screech breaking through the air. Ah, finally, some action! Rayne's senses went into hyperdrive as she traversed the rooftops and closed in on her prey. In an empty alleyway, a woman was backed into a corner. Sniffing in a very creepy fashion, a greasy male vampire inched nearer to the woman. Just as he was about to sink his fangs into her vulnerable throat, a voice interrupted him.
"A guy like you should probably be going on a diet."
"Dhampir…" the vampire muttered.
Rayne swung down from her perch on a light post to attack her quarry. She was expecting a lame fight, so she was only slightly shocked when the fatty actually lashed out at her. Rayne easily caught his arm and twisted it backwards. She leaned close.
"You should run now. It won't help, but it might make you feel better." She said before releasing her hold, only to harpoon the vamp in the back. (Hee, hee. I love that line she actually uses in the game.) She pulled back, and flung the pest onto a sharp, broken shovel handle resting by the dumpster. She brushed off her hands and turned to the terrified woman.
"you can go now. "
"Oh, god, not another vampire…"
"Hey, I just saved your life, you know."
The woman ran past Rayne, screaming loudly with her arms up in the air.
"Psh. Ingrate…"
"Really…"
a light swishing sound behind Rayne confirmed that Dante had arrived. Rayne didn't even turn around, but instead leaped with ease onto the rooftop. From there, she spotted another vampire on the prowl. Before he even knew what hit him, the vampire was crumpled in a heap on the ground with both arms missing. Rayne then returned to where Dante waited. He stood leaning against the wall casually, as if he was waiting for Rayne to speak first. Rayne sighed, starting back towards the Devil May Cry.
"If you're here to ask about what I'm planning to do to your brother, you're out of luck."
"well, unfortunately for you, that's exactly why I'm here. And I'm not leaving until I know." he said, blocking her path.
"I should think it would be obvious…" she responded, almost inaudibly.
He gave her a curious look. Rayne sighed and shifted her weight.
"I'm going to kill him. With or without your consent. Look, I like you and everything, and I'll follow you wherever you want to go, but you need to get over your childish feud and do something about it. Since you don't seem to be very keen on it, I'm going to deal with it." Wow. That sounded quite human for Rayne to say.
"Fine. You're right."
"I am?" Rayne said, confused.
"yeah. And I was wondering when you would say that."
"Oka-ay…."
Needless to say, Rayne was quite confused at this point. She kept running the situation through her head. I thought he didn't want to kill his brother? Is he hiding something? Oh damn. did I just say that I like him?
"So, Ms. Badass. When should we leave?"
They decided that they would leave the next evening. It was apparent that Virgil had taken the liberty of overthrowing Brimstone, and was now seated in some comfy office in some skyscraper. It was their intent to pull him off of the comfy chair and give him the thrashing of a lifetime. Even if Dante decided not to kill him, Rayne intended to leave him in a vegetative state.
Garrr! Too short, I know! I'm so so so so so so sorry! Next chapter will be longer, or I'll let you guys flame me. I just had to get that chapter out. I also have this weird obsession with making the contents of a chapter fit in with the title somewhat. Oh yeah, and my username is now SilverSunset, in case you didn't notice.
