Scars
Note: (Ominous music begins to play) After long last, the black wind begins to howl. (Gemakai comes out of the ground, with his eyes rolled back) I have returned with magnificent knowledge. Such as Ring Wraiths with knives. POINTY KNIVES that burn with the flames of 1000 evils! (Shows a rusted dagger) BEHOLD!
Kora: Gemakai! What are you doing?
Gemakai: Um.nothing.
Kora: You're trying to act cool again, aren't you?
Astar: (Bats Gemakai's head with staff) And I'm afraid you failed at that.
Gemakai: ;_; you guys never give me a chance.
Kora: Just hurry up so we can watch the trailer to Kingdom Hearts 2 again.
Gemakai: Fine, sorry for being so late guys, I've had writer's block like you wouldn't believe, but I'm back and with new knowledge as kni-

Chapter V: Reunion
The prisoner sat with a silent cry for help, staring intently at the dagger in her hand. Many times she had brought it to her wrists, but she could not end her misery. Her eyes were red, eager to cry, as she gazed at the knife's sharp edge. Suddenly, the cage rattled and she hid her face behind her knees, shuddering in fear. The rusted bars creaked open and a footstep echoed through her head. It was followed by another step, then another.
She couldn't take the fear and cried out, "Please don't hurt me anymore!"
"Hurt you? What are you talking about?"
That voice, she thought, it's different. She looked up and saw a pale man in a red coat, clutching his chest. Although she saw blood seeping from his gloved hand, the prisoner noticed the man was grinning. "Wh-who are you?"
"Me?" He let out a short laugh, "I'm the guy who was dragged out here to save your butt. And let me tell you, it wasn't easy." He stumbled over to the prisoner and stared down at her, his blue eyes seemed cold at first but the prisoner could see a warm flame behind them.
"You're not human.are you?"
"Not exactly. But that's the least of your worries right now. Come on, let's get you out of here." He extended his hand with that calm grin on his face.
"But.you're hurt"
"This? It's just a scratch, I've had worse." The prisoner stared at him for a while longer before the man spoke again, "Hey what's that?"
The girl followed his gaze to find the dagger still in her hand. She sighed and tossed it aside "Nothing. Nothing at all." She then took hold of the man's hand and allowed herself to be pulled to her feet. "Who are you? I mean, what's your name?"
The man took her outside the dungeon cell before answering confidently, "It's Dante, Dante Sparda." Then he led her down a dimly lit passage to a spiraling staircase. She felt herself take one step at a time, much more slowly than when she was pushed and yanked down into her cell. Halfway up the stairs, she bumped into Dante's back. She looked up and saw him talking to a blonde haired woman in a red ninja gi. She was familiar, who.that's it! "Sister? Sister!"
The woman averted her gaze from Dante to the girl and smiled brightly. "Hey sis!" The girl hurried passed Dante and held the female ninja tightly, sobbing invisible tears. "There, there, it's okay." The ninja said softly. She looked up to Dante "Thanks for saving her."
"Meh, no biggie, but damn my chest hurts!" He took in a deep breath, "I think I should at least get about $100 for this!"
"So little? I thought you would ask for more."
"Remember I said I would come for kicks and if that three eyed guy hadn't shot me in the chest, it'd be free. Now come on, pay up!"
The ninja laughed nervously, "Well, actually, I need to ask you another thing." The prisoner saw Dante raise his brow, "We now need a place to stay, but not just any place."
"What do you mean, Morrigan?" The prisoner's savior answered irritated.
Morrigan released another nervous giggle, "I mean like, perhaps we could stay at your pla-"
"No! No way! I did my job! I want my money now and that's final!"
Morrigan frowned, "Aw come on."
"No."
"Please?"
"Never!"
"Pretty please?
"Over my dead body."
"Pretty please with a cherry on top?"
"I said it before and I'll say it again. There's no way I'm letting you stay at my place."

"I can't believe you convinced me to let you stay at my place." Dante muttered as he led the two women inside his shop, the neon D in Devil above was flickering.
"We're going to stay here?" The younger of the two asked, wrapping Dante's coat, which he had lended to her, tighter. "What about home with the rest of the clan?"
Morrigan glanced down to her sister and noted, "As of the moment I decided to rescue you, I was no longer welcome in the clan."
"Why?"
The ninja didn't answer at first, she just led the half breed into the musty old shop, "Just trust me when I say you're safer here."
"Well, that answers one of my questions." The devil hunter said as he propped his feet on his desk. "Now I got a few others. Such as, what your name, little girl?"
The younger woman looked around for a moment before asking in return, "Me? My name's Lilith."
"Lilith, eh? Okay, second question, what did those guys want with you? By the looks of you, they must've tortured you pretty badly." He noted, seeing bruises and cuts all over the girl. It was then, he actually got a good look at her. Her black hair was short, dirty looking and messy, probably from being thrown to and fro. Her face was good looking as it was but it would've been prettier if it didn't have those bruises all over it. She had some muscle on her skinny arms, seeing her carry his heavy coat, filled with ammo for weaponry, showed that.
"I-I really don't know, what they wanted. One day they came to our clan and threw me into a truck with several other people. One was a neko demon who constantly trying to claw her way out. There was a human with, but he had a jewel embedded in his forehead, fiddling with a knife, looking between the rest of us. Lastly there was a human male, who stared me for the longest time, while holding a katana that looked like it was cracked at several places.
"We didn't talk any on the trip, just sat and wait. I knew something bad was going to happen from the silence. The only person who made sound was the neko demon with panicking cries. Then suddenly, something happened. The truck shook like it was in a earth quake and the man with the katana stumbled off balance. Then the man with the jewel suddenly jabbed his knife into the the side of the truck and easily cut open a hole and jumped out, the neko demon followed him. I tried to go too, but by that time, the man with the katana had regained his balance and grabbed my arm to stop me from going.
"I struggled to get away, but he easily overpowered me and.the next thing I knew, I was in that dungeon."
Dante nodded as Lilith finished her summary. "I see. Have any idea where those other two people are?"
"Um.not really, why?"
"Well, we found you somewhere around Southern China, where was your clan when those people found you?"
Lilith thought back "Well.we were on the the southern islands of Japan, but how could they take me to China? It was a truck ride all the way there."
Dante shrugged, "I don't know. These are other demons we're dealing with, so I wouldn't be surprised if they used some portal to cross seas." He glanced to Morrigan, who was sitting on the corner of Dante's desk, listening intently. "Hey, Morg!" He shouted to get her attention, "You from the same clan as her? If so, why did you come here and not back to the clan?"
"Um.well." Morrigan looked up to Lilith, seeming a bit concerned then glanced to Dante, "Well.the clan was actually glad that Lilith was gone.for a while, then they found out why those demons took her."
"And what's that?"
"I cannot say."
Dante grinned, "I'll charge you to stay if you don't tell."
Morrigan sneered at the devil hunter, "Oh don't worry, I have good ways to pay." She replied with a giggle.
Dante smirked, "Heh, I'll hold you to that." He took his feet off and stood up as he looked between the two. "So.I would guess that you're tired. I only have one guestroom, so you'll have to share." He lead them into the backroom and pointed them to an old, dusty old English style room with a small bed, some cushioned chairs, and a couch. "It'll be fifty dollars a night, everynight, til you leave." He said as he turned and headed to his room.

Gemakai-Oooookay. I know that wasn't as action filled as other chapters, but I typed it up real quick, and I think it's good enough for a chapter.
Kora-(Whips Gemakai) Say you're sorry again!
