AN: Sorry for such a long wait... ;; Things have been... bad.. Oh well, on with the story!
By this point, we had reached this empty street. Cars were crushed, and there were piles of rubble by the wrecked, deserted buildings. 'This place is creepy!' I thought, frowning. 'And at any time a demon could pop out... Oh god... Am I going to survive through all this?'
Putting on a happier face, despite my aching shoulder (which I wrapped up with part of my shirt), I look up to Dante, who's walking right next to me. "Hey, Mr.Dante...?"
"Yeah?" He gazed down at me, eyes depicting laziness. How could he be so relaxed at a time like this! ..Well... He is a demon, after all...
"Do you think I could get powers like you do? I mean, you're awesome! You're like, FWOOM! FWOOM, BAM, SHWISH!" I waved my arms quickly, careful to be a little quieter than I would be since there were demons lurking everywhere.
At that, he chuckled and stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Sure, why not?" Dante grinned. "But you'll need to train.. You aren't very good with that gun, are you?"
"I'm kinda... good..." I frowned. Looking to the gun in my hand briefly, I averted my attention to the ground, which was slick and wet. "I just don't want to die... That's all. I mean, I have a lot of things that I wanna do in my life before I go up with the birdies, you know...?" I mumbled discouragedly. "Like... go to Japan... and meet my idol, Gackt... And... and... beat Shadow Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time..."
"I see." His blue eyes looked up to the sky. "...I'll protect you, I guess, kid."
"Wow, you will?" My own eyes lit up and I hugged him tightly, smiling. "THANK YOU SO MUUUCH! We'll be a team! I can be... um... The sidekick! And you'll be Dante the almighty asskicker!" I chirped.
"Asskicker, huh?" Dante smirked, stopping his walk. "I like that. Thanks." He patted my head somewhat affectionately.
Letting go after a while, I quickly noticed a few demons starting to appear before us. My face went pale. Not more demons... "Shitshitshitshit..." I clung to Dante, wailing. "PROTECT ME!" Though I had already began picking off demons with my gun...
"Hi-ho!" My protector held me up on his back with one arm and dashed into the fray with his sword, slicing demons in half without mercy. "What a pathetic lot!" He exclaimed as I began shooting around.
"Got that ri--" I was soon cut off by a loud explosion, which sent us both back by the force.
It was one of the big-brained exploding demons. What luck.. And my shoulder still hurt like hell!
I landed in one of the piles of rock and ruin, my gun no longer in my hand. I groaned-- I felt as if someone hit me with a ton of bricks! Not the ones with question marks on them, of course.1
Dante, fortunately, had landed on his feet not too far away. And even better, the explosion had cleared off the rest of the monsters in the area.
I heard footsteps to my left, and I opened my eyes unwillingly and saw a blurry vision of Dante. "Are you okay?" He asked. He sounded so far away...
I stared. "Dude... THERE IS A GOD!" I shouted. "AND I'M ALIVE!" ...Then rolled over into more rocks. "Let me sleep, mommy..." I murmured. I was feeling rather... delirious... Where was I, again?
"You're really weird, you know that?" He sighed and picked me up, hauling me into an empty hotel. "We'll rest here for a while before going anywhere... Weirdo."
And that's when I passed out...
