Chapter II
Greetings and salutations everyone! I am back with the second chapter of Devil's Luck. I hope everyone enjoyed the previous chapter, most people seemed to at least. A few people had... unique opinions. That being said, I hope everyone enjoys this chapter as well, so be sure to leave a review letting me know if you did. I would like to thank Bakuto Masaki for his help with the story thus far, and into the future. And for sticking with me during the nonsense that is not going to be mentioned here. Anyway, on with the reviewer responses!
Skull Flame: It is, isn't it?
Ben56: The old what? But if you're referring to Dante, then yes. No, no Nero, just Dante, he'll get all the honeys. Don't know that first one and while the other two are promising, this story already has enough lewdness planned.
Saberfang Ocalodon: And I will retaliate with A-Kun!
SilverstormXD: And what exactly do you mean by that? Specifics would be appreciated.
superpierce: Mio and Rias are the same age, genius. He'll be getting them both, and with as old as Dante is, almost none of the girls will match up to him, so it doesn't matter. If him being with younger girls like Koneko or potentially Asia creeps you out, you're more than welcome to skip their lemons which will be coming.
FanFictionHunter: Yes, it is always nice. It is indeed.
She has her own Set.
ren tsugami: Has this really never been done by anyone else? Well, even if it has, I'm glad my version of it has you excited.
Guest: Several you missed out like Senran Kagura and Testament of Sister New Devil. Well hopefully it lives up to what you have in mind.
Guest: Suzune is from Senran Kagura, also called Rin on occasion.
ty: He is not the father to any OC's at all. His children so far are fem-Shirou, Illya, and one character that has been identified but not pointed out.
otherbarry6: Asexual?! Dante?! Are you from Tumblr? You must be from Tumblr. The dude's a massive womanizer! He flirts with Trish and Lady constantly, and even that redhead in DMC2. He also has both Lady and Trish basically rubbing themselves on him in the later games and the anime. Plus, he's a several hundred or several thousand year old half-devil, I'm pretty goddamn sure he has at several points had a harem. You sir, have the auspicious honor of being the first reviewer that has made my brain hurt.
Dark Avenger874: Naruto? The fuck? That doesn't even fit. Whatever, my brain still hurts, so moving on. And yeah, thought I'd try something a little different this time, I haven't used Dante before.
Kamencolin: Shiro was adopted like in canon, she is completely human. Illya is at least partly devil since her mother is a Homunculus and Dante is a half-devil.
treyalexander63917: I can understand that, to each his own. Do you mean specific girls, or all the series that I'm using?
Kerlongsj Evert Orlejov: You're welcome. :) I usually try to do that. Oh you know me so well.
I know, I can't catch every error and even my coauthor doesn't catch them all. It's simply a hazard of writing FanFiction. Request? Go right ahead, I'm always open to hearing new ideas.
demonfox2140: Aren't they the same character? As far as appearance goes it's the one from the anime. This takes place after the events of the DMC anime, which is before DMC4. That he does. And there's even more surprises to come, I assure you. Um... maybe. I will neither confirm nor deny whether Dante has any TV repair skills. Well here it comes!
Raygha Raikouga: I'm surprised how rare that is. I thought I was a pretty surface level anime fan. Anyway, that is a compliment to the story. I think. Well hopefully this one is as good.
Guest: And here it is.
Phew! That was a long one! But I love it! Keep those reviews comin' and I'll keep the story coming! On to the main event!
Sella set the table and handed out slices of the food to everyone.
Mio looked over one of the warm slices of pizza in front of her, the cheese literally dripping off the edges as steam rose from its surface and then took a hefty bite, squealing softly before turning red that she had done so.
Dante chuckled lightly. "Cute. Told ya you'd like it."
She stiffened and turned away with a pout, though still chewing her pizza. "I – It's okay…"
"Tsun."
"Sh – Shut up!" she shouted, turning to him with annoyance, though the redness of her cheeks not letting up.
"Even cuter. So I take it you enjoy the Food of the Goddesses?"
Mio sighed in defeat and looked away. "… A… A little…"
Dante just grinned knowingly as he ate another piece, then noticed Illya eagerly eating her second piece. "Mmm… I haven't had pizza in so long…"
"Oh?" the white-haired man asked with interest.
"Mama doesn't get pizza very often."
"Because it's not good for you," Iri retorted bluntly.
Dante and Illya both argued with a pout, "But it's great…"
Iri just smiled with an overly wide, worryingly sweet smile. "It. Is. Bad. For. Your. Health."
The duo pouted deeper.
Maria began sweating as the two's pouts fought with Iri's eerie smile. "I – I think this battle is lost…"
"Not when it's about pizza…" Illya argued adamantly before taking another bite.
Sometime later, Dante sat at the dining room table alone with Maria and Mio.
After a moment of quiet, Maria turned to him with curiosity. "So, Tony Redgrave, who are you, really?"
"Hm? Name's Dante."
Maria's eyes went wide in disbelief. "… What."
Dante raised a slightly surprised eyebrow in response. "Oh? What's with that look my little Semen Demon?"
"How much is she paying you?"
"Two million Macca per month."
Maria's jaw practically hit the floor.
"Yeah, that was my response too."
Mio just looked between the two with a piece of cheese cutely hanging from her chin. "Huh? Is that supposed to be a lot?"
Maria, regaining her exposure slightly, answered, "One Macca is equivalent to ten yen."
"I see…" she answered in slight confusion.
Dante shrugged with a small chuckle. "Guess seeing as her family's rich she doesn't really know how money works."
Mio turned away with a huff. "I – I know how money works! B – But… is that supposed to be a lot…?"
"It could buy four million pizzas a month."
"Whoa… that's a lot…" the redhead muttered, looking at the nearly empty box of pizza before her.
"And that's how much she's giving me each month."
Mio's eyes lit up as she thought about that amount of pizza.
Dante just smirked lightly.
"She's gonna get fat…" Maria, however, was not as amused.
Dante waved a hand dismissively. "Nah, she's a devil. So those luscious lumps of hers will just get bigger."
"Oh." After a moment, the petite girl began humming in thought.
"What's up?"
"I have an idea," she noted with a grin.
"Oh, this should be fun."
"You and Mio-Sama should form a Master-Servant Pact!"
Dante immediately, and bluntly, shot the idea down. "No."
"Aw… why?"
"It'd cause issues in the long run."
"Aw…"
"Well what would you think would happen if I became Mio's Master?"
Mio immediately sat up in shock, almost choking on her pizza. "Hah!? What did you say?! Why would you be my Master!?"
"Because the side effect of being the Servant would severely hamper my ability to protect you. Plus, I'm a polygamist."
Mio twitched an eyebrow at his answer, somewhat insulted by it.
"What?"
She did not answer, Maria just pouting next to him.
"Seriously, did you not think it would be a bad idea?"
"It would allow you and Mio-Sama to know each other's locations at all times, and would give both of you a power boost."
Dante shot her a look that clearly and plainly communicated "Do I look like I need a power boost".
She just frowned in disappointment.
"I'll just train Mio, that'll handle the power boost. Okay? Besides, pretty sure her aunt will skin you alive if she found out."
Maria turned blue in terror.
"Yeah, you need to think things through more."
Maria frowned and pulled him close to her, whispering, "It's not just that, but Mio's power isn't the most stable, if it goes out of control she could be in danger."
"And I'll be teaching her to keep it under control. After all, I'm used to having a little more power than normal. So relax."
Maria twitched an eyebrow before sighing in defeat.
"Good. And don't worry. I had Iri implant tracking chips in you both in your sleep."
"WHAT!?" Mio shrieked.
"What?"
"I'm pretty sure that's against the law!"
"Really?"
"Even I think that's a little far…" Maria muttered.
"It's noninvasive, and only goes off when you're in danger."
The duo just stared at him.
"What? My wife knows magic and alchemy."
Iri smacked him on the head as she walked into the room. "Must you always use that same trick?"
Dante pouted in disappointment. "Why not? They always buy it."
Iri just sighed heavily.
"What trick?" Mio questioned.
"There is no such specific microchip, so it's not anything planted in your body. It's merely a rune that lets Dante know when you're in danger. Unfortunately, my darling likes making people freak out over things."
Mio winced in realization.
"At least our daughter didn't inherit such cruelty."
Dante shrugged with a chuckle. "Well ya did kinda seal her knowledge of the magical world away."
Iri retorted, "You and I both know that is in her best interests. She has no need to know about any of that."
Pouting again, Dante argued, "But the best pizza in the world is made with magic!"
"Breast milk is not magic."
Mio gaped in bewilderment.
Dante sighed with a shrug, "Agree to disagree, and I meant some of the best toppings are found in the supernatural."
"I see…" Iri sighed.
Mio stared at the two in confusion.
The next morning, Dante sighed as he sat in the family room. "Ah… what a day… maybe I should go for a walk. Yeah. That will do." With a shrug, he stood up and left the room, heading out of the house.
Dante took a heavy yawn as he walked down the sidewalk. "Man, this is a boring walk… Wish C, K, and everyone else would finish their jobs and get here…" Dante stopped suddenly and looked around with a smirk. "Well now, didn't expect such a warm reception."
Multiple doglike beasts appeared around him, slobbering and growling.
"So which of you want to start this party off?"
The first of the beasts growled before charging at him, only to get skewered by a red spear of energy, vaporizing it.
Dante just pouted.
Moments later the other creatures were skewered as well.
"Oh come on!" Slumping, he grumbled, "And here I was hoping to have some fun…"
Suddenly, a figure landed nearby with a groan. A beautiful girl roughly his age with waist-length, flowing black hair, dark lavender eyes, and an impressive bust wearing black, strap-like objects on and under her breasts, a piece resembling a thong held on one side by three thin straps, gloves running up her arms with chains attached, spiked shoulder guards, and black, high heel, thigh-high boots, her clothing slightly torn. "I've been hunting those bastards all night."
The white-haired raised an eyebrow with interest. "Ooh, sexy angel."
The woman turned to him in confusion. "Huh? What?"
"Just admiring a beautiful angel."
Smirking, she rebutted, "Well aren't we full of flattery?"
He just shrugged with a smile. "Just saying the truth, li'l angel."
She nodded in approval. "Name's Raynare, you?"
Dante bowed deeply. "Tony Redgrave at your service."
"Well, I'm not sure why those hounds became interested in you, but it made killing them easy." She reached into one of the corpses and pulled out a silver and lavender amulet from it.
Dante frowned suspiciously as he looked at it. "Hm? What ya got there?"
Raynare huffed as she shook it off and hung around her neck. "It's an amulet one of these mutts stole."
"Must be worth a lot to you."
"It's pretty important. So thanks for the bait."
"I'm not bait babe. Those things were gonna be my entertainment for… thirty seconds."
Raynare nodded with a chuckle. "Right. Well, I got what I wanted, so that's good enough."
"Oh? Not even wanting to stick around, beautiful?"
"And now why would I do that?"
"To relax and enjoy the day with a guy like me."
Raynare blinked in confusion before laughing heartily. "Well you've got confidence, I'll give you that." Shrugging with a smile, she answered, "Alright, I've got some free time."
"Cool! It's a date then!"
As Dante and Raynare walked together through the town, Raynare frowned as the people around them stared at her. "Why do all these humans keep staring?"
Dante replied, "Probably because of your outfit."
Raynare raised an eyebrow and looked over herself. "What's wrong with it? It's what I wear all the time."
Dante could only stare at her incredulously. "You know what a stripper is?"
"I do."
"That's what they think you are."
Raynare tilted her head deeply. "How am I a can of paint remover?"
Dante face-faulted in shock.
Raynare looked at him in confusion. "Was it something I said?"
Rubbing his head in exasperation, he retorted, "How did you come to that conclusion?"
"That's what stripper is. It strips paint off of things."
Dante felt his disbelief practically shatter. "… Are you seriously this stupid?"
Raynare folded her arms with insult. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"A stripper is a woman who wears revealing clothes and then removes them in front of a bunch of horny men."
Raynare was taken aback. "Azazel told me that's an exotic dancer."
Dante sighed heavily, putting a hand over his face. "… Azazel did… You've gotta be kidding me… Azazel is a pervert, Babe, and one bigger than me."
Raynare was very irritated by that. "Why would you say something like that?"
"Well he is. And he owes me money."
Raynare blinked in thought as she looked him over. "White hair… red coat… you…"
"I'm what?"
"You're the poker cheater."
Dante huffed with overbearing pride. "I've never cheated at poker."
"Azazel says otherwise."
"Then he's a liar as well as a pervert."
Raynare sighed and then growled as more men around them leered at her.
"You should try wearing other clothes. Or just more."
"I don't have anything else."
"… Seriously? Guess I should take you to get some more then."
"Um… thanks…?"
Dante nodded and turned away towards a large mall. "Come on, let's go."
Soon, they stood in a large shop filled with hundreds of different clothes with different styles.
"Interesting. These outfits…" Raynare muttered in surprise.
"What about them?"
"They're… cute…"
Dante just smiled softly. "Right. Well, pick out whatever you like." He watched in shock as she swiftly grabbed numerous items of clothing and disappeared into a changing room. "That was fast."
Dante sat in a chair next to the changing rooms, reading a magazine in thought. "Hm…"
After a moment, Raynare stepped out wearing a loose, knee-length, bright pink dress with a top that wrapped tightly around her breasts, showing a large amount of cleavage, with no straps holding it up, a long, layered, frilled skirt, and short, matching gloves. "How do I look?"
Dante looked her over with a smirk. "Hmm? Looks great on ya, Babe."
"Is that so?" she asked with an intrigued smile, looking over herself, frowning slightly as she moved her arms around. "It's rather difficult to move in."
He just shrugged with a laugh. "It's not made for combat is why. Humans don't fight much."
Raynare hissed with disgust. "So I've learned, and those that do tend not to be very good at it."
"In this day and age. Besides, tell that to Lady. She'll kick your ass."
She turned to him curiously. "Lady?"
"Friend of mine and a fellow Demon Hunter, and my Pawn."
"I see… I'm gonna try on something else."
Dante nodded approvingly as she headed to the dressing room. "Sure beautiful. Take your time."
"It's Raynare," she retorted bluntly.
Dante just chuckled.
After several outfits and a couple hours, Raynare walked out in a simple pink blouse and black skirt. "How's this?"
He nodded with a smile. "Good casual wear. Looks damn good on you."
Raynare looked over herself in thought before smiling in a way Dante could only describe as extra girly. "Hm… I wonder if Azazel would think so too."
That thought irritated him. "His opinion shouldn't matter. Just your own. Why do you care what he thinks?"
Raynare's expression dropped somberly. "Because… I essentially owe everything to him."
"And what does that mean exactly?"
Frowning as she thought over the events, Raynare explained. "After I Fell, I was on my own for a long time. Azazel eventually pulled me out of the slums I was living in, so I've spent the last few decades serving under him."
Dante sighed as he mulled over her words before pointing to the silver amulet around her neck. "… I see. Guess he gave you the amulet too, huh?"
Clutching it tightly, Raynare shook her head. "No. It was a gift from someone that saved me when I was young."
The white-haired man raised an intrigued eyebrow. "Oh? And who might that be?"
She shrugged with a sigh of frustration. "I don't know. He never told me his name. All I remember about him is the color red."
Dante scratched his chin in thought. "Red, huh? Can't think of any guys with red hair. Well, maybe one, but he's an idiot."
"I see…"
"Anyway, let's go."
"Huh? Go where?"
"Lunch."
Raynare frowned incredulously as she looked at the restaurant in front of them. "… An ice cream shop?"
Dante just nodded with a grin. "Yeah. Haven't had a sundae in a while. This place has some of the best desserts around. Including the best strawberry sundaes."
"And you know this… how?"
"A friend told me."
The raven-haired beauty just sighed before looking at the building's sign. "Macaron huh? I've never even heard of it."
"You obviously don't spend much time around humans then."
She hissed with disgust. "I try to do that as little as possible."
"Well everyone can change."
"Right…"
Dante and Raynare walked in, the man looking around with a grin, Raynare somewhat annoyed as she looked around. "All of the employees are… women."
"Yep!" he cheered.
After a moment a young woman with short, chin-length, messy red hair, her fringe stopping just above her purple eyes, a small bandage on her nose, her hair framing her face, wearing a short black dress with white frills, detached cuffs, and a pink apron that shaped under her curvaceous bosom approached them with a professional smile, motioning them to a table.
Dante swiftly took a look at her nametag, "Azuki" it read.
The redhead continued with what Dante could tell was a very fake, purely professional smile. "Welcome to Macaron, can I start you with drinks?"
Dante proceeded to lean back in his booth with a smirk. "Depends on the drinks beautiful."
He found mild amusement as one of her eyebrows twitched. "We serve alcohol, soft drinks, and fruit juice."
Ah. Choices, choices… I'll have a large root beer and a strawberry milkshake, babe."
Keeping her composure despite her smile turning annoyed, Azuki turned to Raynare. "Right. And you Ms?"
The black-haired woman was pulled from her thoughts. "Huh? Just orange juice, I guess."
"Right. I'll go get your drinks."
Dante waved with a smile as she left. "Thanks beautiful," though his seemingly pleasant remark was met with a sneer. "Huh. Wonder why she's mad."
"Probably from your perving," Raynare alleged flatly.
Dante scratched his chin in thought. "Nah, couldn't be."
Raynare just rolled her eyes before returning to the menu, though both she and Dante were distracted when one of the other maids shouted, annoyed.
"Hey!" the girl shouted as she slapped a man's hand away from her skirt. "Stop that!"
Dante was about to get up and confront the man when a new figure suddenly grabbed the offending man by the wrist and pulled his arm behind his back.
With an overly sweet smile, a woman with short, chin-length, brown-purple hair that flared out near the ends, her fringe parted over her forehead, stopping just shy of her light violet eyes, red lipstick accentuating her mouth, who wore round, frameless glasses, a long, red kimono with a green obi that, despite being rather baggy, still showed her generous bust, white socks, and brown sandal held his arm tightly dislocating his wrist. "I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't molest my employees."
Dante blinked in surprise as he stood up with a smile. "Yo, Goei!"
The woman, still holding the man's arm in a lock, turned to the white-haired man in surprise. "Dante?!"
Dante grinned before turning to Raynare. "I'll be right back." Walking over to Goei, he greeted, "How ya doin' Babe?"
"Much better now!" she answered with a smile before breaking the man's arm without even flinching.
"Great to hear, though I guess I'm not needed."
"L – Let go, let go!" the man begged.
Still smiling, Goei warned, "Remember this the next time you decide to harass a woman," before throwing him like a sack of flour, Azuki opening the door to allow the man to land on the pavement outside.
Raynare sat in silent disbelief at what just happened.
"So what brings you here, Dear?"
"A long-term job, and I heard from Iri that your business was doing great and thought I'd stop by and eat. Maybe even eat you out later."
Goei smiled slyly with a hand over her mouth. "My, my, what an offer."
"Like you'd deny it."
Before their conversation could go any further, a new actor entered the moment. "Mom! I'm back!"
Dante turned in thought to see a girl with waist-length, light brown hair and bright aqua eyes with a very impressive bust wearing a white top underneath a beige sweater, a pleated, plaid miniskirt, and plain brown shoes come running in. "Whoa… wait, Mom?"
"Ah, Hakufu!" Goei greeted before she realized Dante was just staring at her. With a weak laugh, she began to slink away. "Oopsie…"
"Goei… why didn't you tell me…?"
"I thought Iri would… Oh, I have work to do!"
Before she could escape, Dante grabbed her by the collar with a rather irritated smirk. "Go – e – i…"
Goei just laughed weakly in defeat.
"Hey!" Hakufu suddenly shouted before lunging at Dante with a powerful kick. "Let my mom go!"
Dante easily caught the kick, though noticed the sheer amount of force put out was higher than what a normal human could give, and then saw a green gem hanging from her ear. Deciding it less important, he focused on the current situation. "… We are having a talk. Now. Where's your office?"
Goei hung her head and pointed to a room in the back. "R – Right over there…"
"Good," Dante noted before grabbing Hakufu by the waist and slinging her over his shoulder.
"Uwah! Hey! Put me down!"
"Nope."
Standing in front of Goei with his arms crossed, Dante got to the point immediately. "Now, explain."
"I thought Iri told you!" she argued desperately.
"Well she didn't, and I'll be sure to discuss this with her."
"Ah, well, you see… after that night… it seems… it was… effective…"
"What was effective?" Hakufu questioned. "And can you untie me from this chair?!" she shouted, trying to break the ropes around her.
Dante merely ignored the girl's irritated shouts. "You mean when you, your sister, and I had a threesome?"
Goei just nodded silently.
Dante looked between Hakufu and Goei several times before looking at Goei and pointing at the thrashing teen. "… You mean… she's…?"
"Yes… she is…"
"Huh. Illya will be happy to know this. Wait, does that mean Ganae also…"
Goei flinched and began to sweat, deciding lying was not a good idea at that point. "… Yes."
"I'm what…?!" Hakufu growled.
Goei sighed and then pointed to Dante with a weak laugh. "Um… Hakufu… meet your father… Dante."
The girl blinked several times as she looked at the red-clad man in thought before the information seemed to click into place. "EH!?"
"Yo," he waved.
"My dad's a hotty!?"
Dante flinched slightly before laughing. "Well… that's not what I expected. Not to mention we made a hot daughter."
Goei huffed proudly, her chest puffing out even more. "Well I am her mother."
"True enough, and Devil genes make bigger boobs the more the girl eats, and those are definitely big and juicy."
"She certainly eats a lot here…" Goei lamented.
Dante just chuckled before noticing Hakufu drooling.
"Mmm… big and juicy steak…"
"Pizza tastes better. Anyway, so… you're my daughter. Guess I'll have to be teaching you things like a dad should."
"Huh? Things? What things?"
Goei flinched uneasily. "Hey, I haven't even taught her any of that stuff yet."
"Which means I'll have a lot to teach her," Dante commented.
Hakufu blinked curiously, her attention seemingly off the fact she was still tied to a chair. "Teach me what?"
"Fun," Dante replied with a sly grin.
That annoyed the brunette, who just flailed in place. "Come on! What are you gonna teach me!?"
"You'll have to wait a little while," Goei warned.
Dante raised an eyebrow, somewhat confused. "How come?"
"Well we can't jump into the fun stuff immediately." A sly smirk on the woman's lips, she added, "Besides, Hakufu's got some fighting to do. She can't do that if she can't walk."
"Even more reason for me to teach her."
Hakufu finally had enough being left in the dark. "Teach me what damnit!?"
Dante and Goei answered at the same time, "How to fight/fuck. Wait, what?"
Dante gaped slightly before laughing. "Goei, why did you think that? You thought I wanted to teach her about sex? Man your mind is in the gutter. If not for the fact you're human I'd swear you're a succubus or kitsune."
Goei twitched an eyebrow before sighing. "I sometimes wonder that myself… Even I'm not sure about that."
Hakufu tilted her head curiously. "'Bout what?" Deciding she was bored with that topic, she turned to Dante with anticipation. "And will you really teach me awesome fighting moves?! Awesome! Maybe you can teach my cousin Asuka too!"
Glancing at Goei, he asked, "That'd be Ganae's?"
Goei nodded slowly. "Yes…"
Shrugging, Dante nodded to the excited girl. "Then sure. That was my intention, anyway. Your mom on the other hand thinks I should teach you sex."
Hakufu blinked curiously before furrowing her brow. "Sex? What's that?"
Dante nearly collapsed, and then turned to Goei desperately. "… She's joking. Right?"
Goei sighed heavily before shaking her head somberly. "No. She's not."
"… Does her cousin at least know?"
"… No guarantees."
"That's… reassuring. Well… I've got a date to get back to, so I think that's my cue to leave."
Dante walked back out into the main dining room where he found Raynare sitting, bored, twirling her straw in an empty glass. "Something wrong babe?"
Raynare wanted to skin him from that. "Yes. You just ran off and left me here."
Dante shrugged as he sat down. "Sorry. Had to deal with a wife."
She frowned even further at that. "… 'A' wife?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"… Nothing. So, are we going to eat something or did you just come here to flirt?"
"Eat, of course. Ready to order?"
"I've been ready."
After ordering their food, Dante's arrived first, a large pizza with steam rising off the cheese, Raynare looking over the dish in wonderment.
Seeing that, Dante scratched his head in confusion. "Is pizza just that rare 'round here? Or do you supernatural types just not order it?"
Her eyes locked on the food, Raynare shrugged somewhat. "We tend not to eat human food." However, she registered his words a moment later and looked up at him in thought. "Wait, why?"
"No reason. Now enjoy," he urged as he took a slice.
Raynare thought for a moment before taking a slice as well and took a sniff of the piece, beginning to drool as the scent hit her before taking a bite, her eyes widening as a result.
Dante just grinned with amusement. "Like it?"
Taking a moment to chew and swallow, she nodded before looking at the steaming food in surprise. "I can see why you spend so much time around humans. Even they're worth keeping around if they can make food like this."
"Oh you have no idea. Just wait until we get to the desserts."
The black-haired beauty shot him a small glare. "… Are you trying to make me fat?"
Dante just huffed dismissively. "You're an angel. At worst you'll get a plumper ass, maybe an even shapelier pair of tits."
Raynare narrowed her eyes in thought as she stared at the food.
"What?"
Without a word, she scooped half of the pizza to her side.
Dante just smiled as he took his own half.
Raynare sighed in relief as she leaned against the booth. "That was good…"
Dante, cleaning a stray piece of food from his teeth, nodded with a smirk. "Well I hope you're ready for more, because we still haven't had dessert."
"What are the desserts, actually?"
Suddenly, as if waiting nearby, Azuki stood next to her with a dessert menu in hand.
"Fast!"
"That's the kind of service I expect out of Goei's workers," Dante complimented.
"R – Right…" Taking the menu, Raynare looked it over, causing her jaw to drop as it just kept going seemingly forever.
"Well this place specializes in desserts."
"I – I can tell." After a moment, Raynare narrowed her eyes in thought. "… Is there a point at which my breasts will stop growing?"
"No idea. I would advise against ordering everything, though. It might make you sick."
"R – Right…"
Azuki watched in disbelief as Dante ate a cherry pie and root beer, Raynare eating a banana split and an entire cheesecake.
Seeing the redhead's bewildered expression, Dante decided to bring her back to reality. "Something up?"
"That's a lot of food…"
"We're big eaters. Wanna join?"
Azuki turned away with a very loud huff. "No. I have work to do. Plus, you're a pervert."
"So? I don't perv on those who don't want me to."
Azuki just sent a small hiss at him before walking away.
Shrugging, Dante smirked as he tore a piece of pie off with his fork. "Oh well, more for us. Want a bite, Ray?"
"Sure," the violet-eyed beauty answered with a nod, surprised when he simply reached the fork over to her. Her cheeks heated up slightly but she leaned over and took the bite from it, her face still flushed somewhat before she turned away, trying to hide her embarrassment. "I – It's good…"
"Yup," Dante nodded as he got another bite, before Raynare suddenly slapped the fork out of his hand without warning. "Hey… what was that for?"
Folding her arms as she sat down, her face turning increasingly red, she huffed, "N – None of your business! If you're going to eat after me, get your own fork!"
"That was my fork…"
"B – But you fed me with it…" she mumbled in a small voice.
Dante just smiled before waving to Azuki. "Ah, I get it. You didn't want to share a secondary kiss with me."
The girl was suddenly red all the way to her neck.
"It's alright, I understand."
As the two left the restaurant, the sun beginning to fall from the sky, Dante turned to Raynare, curious. "So, how'd you enjoy it, Ray?"
"It was new. And good."
"Right. We should probably do this again then, and have you try out new foods."
Raynare nodded in agreement, before blushing like a little girl. "Right. And maybe I can get Azazel to come here sometime."
Dante frowned slightly at the continued mentioning of that name. "… Raynare, why are you so fixated on that guy?"
"I told you, didn't I?" she asked, slightly perturbed.
"I know, but this is kind of annoying. Sure, the guy may have offered you an apartment or something, but does he actively help you with anything since then?"
Raynare frowned in frustration. "You don't understand, if it wasn't for him, I'd probably be dead on the side of the road, or worse."
Dante argued, "And yet he does that for all those that Fall because it's his job as the Grigori's Leader."
Raynare frowned, silent.
"I bet you never even saw him personally again after he helped you out."
The fallen tightened her fists with irritation.
"Ray, a piece of advice. Don't confuse hero worship for love. What you feel towards him isn't that. Sure, he may have helped you out a bit with a place to live, but you can just simply pay him back with macca." However, she did not respond, just silently hung her head. "Ray?"
"I… I should go…" she muttered quietly.
"Oh? Right now?"
"… Yes…"
"I see. Want me to walk you home?"
"No, I'll be fine." Without another word she flared out her wings and took off.
Before she could get out of earshot, Dante called out, "If you want, look up Irisviel's number in the phone book and call me!" After a moment he sighed before scratching his head in thought. "Well that was weird. Hope I get to see her again."
Goei tapped him on the back. "So, will you be going back to Iri's tonight?"
Scratching his chin in thought, Dante shrugged with a smirk. "Hm… I could probably spend a night or two without raising suspicion."
"Great!" Goei cheered with a smile.
Dante blinked in surprise as he sat next to Goei, Hakufu running around the house wearing only the scantest of lingerie.
Goei noticed his surprise and chuckled. "I'm surprised she's wearing that much. She usually prefers to be naked."
Dante raised an intrigued eyebrow at that. "Oh I'm liking our daughter. I like her a lot. So… mind telling me why you never told me I got you pregnant?"
The kimono-clad woman just sighed in exasperation. "I didn't know how to contact you. And I'm not sure if I wanted to."
That confused and concerned the white-haired man. "And why is that?"
"Well, your arrival did result in a lot of people dying. And to be fair, I told Iri."
"And your family's profession as Ninjas doesn't get people killed? Plus, that wasn't my fault. That was the Demons I was hunting. Not to mention we had all kinds of fun Goei. Same with your sister." The conversation was slightly interrupted when Dante caught a glimpse of Hakufu gulping down a carton of milk. "Huh. She certainly loves her milk." After a moment of thought, he turned his attention to Goei's voluptuous bosom. "You have any left?"
She pressed her chest against him with a smirk. "Want to find out?"
"Oh you know it. And if not, we could always make Hakufu a li'l sister."
Goei put a finger on her chin in thought. "Interesting. Hakufu could use a sister."
Dante merely grinned with excitement.
Later in the night, as Dante and Goei both lay in bed, Dante smiled as he patted Goei on the cheek. "Just as much an animal as I remember. So insatiable. Things seem a bit different from when I was last here."
Goei sat up, her abdomen slightly swollen, before returning, "Things change quickly here."
"That they do. So maybe you can help me get my bearings after you can walk again."
Goei gave a look of confusion at that request. "Iri didn't?"
"I haven't really had a whole lot of downtime since I got here."
The bespectacled woman just nodded with a smile. "Ah. Sure then. Maybe we can even go see Ganae and make it a family affair. And you can help our daughter train."
"And Ganae's, and to fight."
"Right, right," she responded dismissively, slightly disappointed.
After a silent moment, he asked, "So… what is she training to fight for?"
"She's a student at one of many schools that annually compete in tournaments."
That piqued the man's interest. "Oh? What are the other schools?"
"Rakuyo, Nanyo, Kuoh, Tenbi, –"
She was not able to finish as Dante suddenly interrupted her. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Kuoh?"
Tilting her head with slight curiosity, the brunette nodded. "Um, yes. Why?"
"I'm teaching there now, as a gym teacher."
"Wow…"
"Yeah. So, c –?"
This time Goei cut him off. "No. Staff aren't allowed to participate."
"… I wasn't gonna ask that…"
Goei pouted slightly. "Oh. What were you going to ask then?"
"Does she go to Kuoh?"
"No, she attends Nanyo."
"Ah. Asuka?"
"She goes to Tenbi."
Dante frowned slightly in concern. "Well that could get… complicated."
Goei shook her head with a smile. "Tenbi and Nanyo tend to team up during the competitions, so it's usually not an issue."
"Right…"
Smirking, she decided to change the subject. "So, before you get to training, think you've got another round in you?"
"Do you?"
Goei just sent him a grin before lunging at him.
Hakufu, dressed fully in a tan shirt and jean shorts, tilted her head curiously as she stood opposite her father. "You want to train me?"
Dante nodded as he stretched his arms a little. "Not just you. Your cousin too. You're my daughters, so it's only right that I teach you how to fight."
Hakufu nodded with excitement. "Right! But why'd you make me put clothes on?"
Dante sighed with mild amusement. "To make it less distracting. Now let's go get Asuka."
"Okie dokie!" the girl cheered with an excited hop.
Shortly later, Dante and Hakufu made their way down a side street, walking past numerous houses, until they reached a particularly large one with a sign out front.
Walking up to the door, Dante knocked loudly, a voice from within calling out, "Just a minute!"
Dante waited patiently before the door opened, a mature woman with long, dark brown hair tied in a ponytail, chestnut brown eyes, a plain white blouse that hugged tightly to her curvaceous figure, and a long, green plaid skirt.
"How can I – Dante!?" she began before her eyes widened as she saw Dante.
"Yo," he waved with a smirk.
The brown-haired woman began flailing frantically in bewildered disbelief. "Wh – Wh – What are you doing here?!"
"Heard from Goei that we had a kid. So I thought I'd come over."
Ganae just stared blankly before becoming slightly annoyed.
"So, where is she?"
"Mama? What's all the noise…?" a new voice asked before a girl who looked extremely similar to Ganae, albeit younger and less endowed, wearing only a white dress shirt, ran up to the entrance of the home.
"Nice."
"Yo, Asuka!" Hakufu greeted with a grin.
Asuka looked at the light-haired brunette in thought before frowning at Dante. "… Huh? Hakufu? Who's the weirdo?"
Dante flinched back with exaggerated pain. "Ouch. Being called a weirdo by my own kid."
Asuka tilted her head heavily in confusion. "… Eh? What's that suppose to…?" she trailed off before the answered seemed to hit her like a truck, "EEEHHH!? I have a dad?!"
Dante just stared in disbelief before turning to Ganae.
The woman chuckled in subdued amusement. "… In my defense, her shocked face was worth it."
"… Agreed, I think…"
"Good to see Iri didn't tell you."
"Right… I've got a lot to discuss with her when I get back."
Asuka pouted in frustration and demanded, "Hey! Someone explain what's going on!"
Motioning to Dante, Ganae explained. "This is your father, Dante. Oh, and Hakufu is technically your sister rather than your cousin. I think. Things tend to be confusing when Dante's involved. Like ninja missions."
Asuka put a hand on her chin in thought. "I… see?"
Dante then motioned to Asuka's barely clothed form. "… guess you're usually dressed like that?"
"Huh?" the girl muttered before looking down, realizing her state of dress, causing her face to turn vibrantly red before she ran off.
Ganae then illuminated, "Only at home, since there normally aren't any men here."
"Ah. So she has modesty but Hakufu doesn't."
With a smile that was overly sweet, Ganae added, "She also has several other things in her mind that Hakufu lacks."
"Well, good to see you still have a viper's tongue."
Her smile changing to a lewd smirk, she snickered. "And you always do enjoy my tongue licking you up."
Dante shrugged without a hint of remorse. "Won't deny that."
Hakufu looked between the two in befuddlement. "Why would she lick you?"
"You'll learn later."
"Okay…?"
Asuka then returned, somewhat exhausted, wearing a tan sweater over a white dress shirt with a green tie, a pleated, plaid green skirt, thigh-high dark brown stockings, brown shoes, and a red bandana around her neck, her hair also tied up similarly to Ganae's. "Phew! 'Kay, so why're ya here?"
"To train the two of you," he explained bluntly.
"… Eh? Why?"
"I don't want weak daughters. That and I'm bored."
"Oh. Okay."
"Glad to hear it."
Later, Dante stood in the backyard of Ganae's home with Asuka and Hakufu readying themselves for a fight, Goei having arrived to watch.
Flexing his neck for the fight, Dante explained, "Right, so all I want to do for now is see what you can do, so come at me together with the intent to kill."
Nodding, Asuka took a breath before drawing two swords holstered in her back, Hakufu getting into a fighting stance before the two charged at Dante simultaneously.
Dante easily caught Asuka's blades between the fingers of one hand and blocked Hakufu's knee strike with the other before grabbing the two and sending them flying into a tree.
Asuka stood up, shakily and shocked. "Wh – What just happened?"
Dante sighed in disappointment. "Sloppy. You both need training, badly. Otherwise, you'll lose that tournament."
That caused the two girls to stare at him incredulously.
"What? I'm training Kuoh's team after all."
Again, they stared, this time surprised and confused. "… Eh?"
"What?"
"You're training the girls from another school?" Hakufu questioned.
Dante raised an eyebrow before shrugging. "Well duh. I work there now. Why wouldn't I?"
"Oh. Why train us then?" Asuka asked.
"So it'll be fun to watch," he answered, again getting blank stares from the two. "What? I'm not a fan of one-sided beatdowns. They are boring."
Ganae and Goei, simultaneously, chided, "Yet you perform them all the time."
"I'm not a fan of watching them."
"Right, right," they dismissed.
"Okay, back to training."
"Cool!" Hakufu cheered.
Dante smirked in somewhat sadistic amusement. "Let's see how long your enthusiasm survives after we start."
Later in the day, as the sun was coming down, Dante sighed as Hakufu and Asuka lay splayed on the ground in front of him.
"Everything hurts…" Hakufu groaned.
"I think I can't feel my everything…" Asuka whined, trying and failing to sit up.
Dante just shrugged as he looked at them. "That's about what I expected. Not many can handle their first time with me after all."
That got a snigger from the two mothers watching.
"Yes. In that too. Anyway, it's getting dark, so I'm heading home. More training tomorrow."
The two girls groaned in defeat, Hakufu sitting up weakly and protesting, "I – I've got school tomorrow!"
"And you will come home at some point."
The girl flinched back, unable to counter that.
Asuka and Hakufu merely collapsed back to the ground as Dante walked away.
Making his way down a side street, Dante noticed a large, old building in the distance with rotted walls and doors. "Huh… That's creepy. Perfect for a stray devil… Now I wanna check it out."
Entering the dilapidated structure, he looked around the dust-filled atrium in thought. "Hm… Huh. Nice place. All eerie and desolate." Without even looking, he caught a double-edged sword swung at him and turned to see Yuumi holding said sword. "Hot residents too. So Yuumi, mind droppin' it?"
"Well this is new," Rias commented as Yuumi backed away from Dante and regrouped with the others, who were all gathered at the old building.
"Me getting jumped by a beautiful lady? Not really."
Rias just sighed in frustration. "What are you doing here?"
"Saw a creepy place and thought I check it out. See if any demons need evicting."
"No, only us."
"I see… Huh. This a bit far from your club house though."
"You always have to make things complicated…"
"How do I do that?" As soon as he asked that, he noticed a massive creature lying dead on the ground nearby, its body crushed and burned. "That you guys?"
Rias responded with a shake of her head, looking over the beast.
Dante inspected it closer, his eyes widening as he did. "Ah. Hm… Wait, these were done with a mace and electricity. Uh-oh. I'm out!" He turned to flee but was immediately struck from behind by a large mace that had been thrown from an overhead balcony.
"No running," a melancholic voice threatened, causing Rias and the others to turn as a young, petite woman with short, messy red hair that covered her eyes, though it was clear they were mismatched in color, wearing what could only be described as bridal gown approached.
"H – Hey Fran…" Dante groaned as he stood up from under the large club.
"Who…?" Rias questioned, befuddled.
"Fran," Dante explained as the petite woman picked up her weapon. "Though she also goes by Mary Shelly."
"Ah. Wait, what?!" she shouted, causing Fran to look at her slightly irritated. "I thought Mary Shelly was a human."
Dante shrugged and rebuffed, "You think a lot of things. And you weren't even born back then."
Fran remained quiet for a moment. "I am… cyborg."
Rias was even more confused, then Dante added, "A little more complex than that, but yes. She also likes writing books."
"I see…" the redhead wondered.
"Now then Dante…" Fran grumbled, turning her attention to him as electricity began sparking over her body.
Dante began slowly backing with a twitching smirk. "… Can I ask for mercy?"
"You're immortal, just like me. So I need to burn my anger into your soul, just your body won't cut it."
Rias momentarily halted the assault when she raised a hand and asked, "Why are you angry?"
"He just left me after dealing with one of my creator's other machinations."
Dante decided to try and defend himself. "To be fair, you were doing great on your own with your book sales and I thought you'd enjoy the peace."
Fran proceeded to fire a bolt of electricity that Dante narrowly dodged. "We didn't get any time together after you pulled me from that bastard's lab, and then left after we killed his other experiment."
"Well I did kinda end up in the ocean after that."
Fran just pouted in frustrated disappointment, Rias rubbing the bridge of her nose in exasperation. As if on cue, Akeno waved a hand before a bottle of wine appeared in her hand which she handed to Rias.
"Thank you," the redhead retorted before popping the cork and beginning to chug it.
Shortly later, the group began heading back towards Kuoh, with Fran hanging off Dante's arm as they walked. "So where are we going?"
"Rias' clubroom."
"Ah."
"To drop her hot, plastered ass there."
Rias responded with merely a hiccup as Dante helped her walk.
"Considering how you summoned that bottle, this must happen a lot."
"Very often," Akeno answered briskly.
"Any particular reason why?"
"Drink helps her handle the world's most bizarre moments."
Dante nodded in firm agreement. "On that we can agree. Unfortunately I can barely afford the Soma stuff. Moonlight I can barely do."
"Soma?"
"Divine Wine made by Soma."
Akeno frowned in return. "If we tried to drink that, we'd die."
"Why?"
"It's made by a god, and thus has holy energy."
The white-haired man shook his head at that. "No. Divine. There's a difference."
"How so?"
"Divine is a neutral element. Holy is an element of those that follow more closely to an Order Alignment, while Darkness is more to those with a Chaos Alignment."
"I see…" the busty beauty remarked in thought.
"Yep. Now let's get your president home."
Later, back at the clubroom, as Rias sat at her desk and Dante on one of the sofas with Fran, the man looked at Koneko in thought before turning to the redhead. "Cute Neko you've got, Rias."
That got a small reaction out of the normally placid-faced girl.
"What's up, li'l Shiro?"
"How did you know…?"
"I've been around quite a few Nekos. Not to mention your hairpin holding your ears down."
Koneko frowned as she pushed down on her hairpins somewhat.
"He's observant…" Yumi commented.
"Well I have been around longer than even Red's big brother and I am very friendly with Youkai."
"I see…" Rias sighed before taking note of what he just said. "Wait, what is your name, really, then?"
"Dante Sparda."
Rias' eyebrow swiftly began twitching. "… Akeno, more wine."
"Right," the black-haired beauty responded with a nod.
After Akeno found and prepared another bottle for the redhead, Dante questioned, "He never mentioned me? Really?"
"The closest," she began, a hiccup breaking her words, "he ever came to it was a 'white-haired bastard'."
Dante nodded in return. "Yeah, that's me. Still cursing my name for tricking him into taking the Lucifer position instead of me, I see."
The entire room just stared at him in disbelief.
"What? I'm not a fan of paper work. He… didn't tell you that part? Wow. Must be embarrassed to admit he got tricked into taking the worst job in Hell."
Rias flattened her brow and turned to Akeno. "Right… Moonlight please…" She then turned her attention back to Dante, her words again broken up by a hiccup. "You expect me to… believe that?"
"Ask him yourself. Or Sera. Or my Queen."
"Your Queen?"
"Yep. Beautiful, long silver hair, and as cold as the ice she summons. I believe I told you about her before too."
Rias immediately slammed her head against her desk.
"Something wrong, li'l Red?"
Akeno then walked out with two large bottles of bourbon as Rias continued, "And how many other connections does your… Peerage have to my family…?"
"More than you'd be comfortable with. Now that I think on it, the blonde seems familiar. Hey Yumi, ever met a sword wielding girl in a kimono?"
Yumi put a finger on her chin in thought. "Hm… I've met a couple."
"Did she also seem nice and talk about a woman named Nobu a lot in an insulting manner."
"I… think so. Maybe."
"Was her name Souji?"
That got the blonde's attention. "Wait, you know Okita-Sensei?"
"Of course, she's one of my Knights."
"… Yyaayy…" Rias groaned.
And there you have it! The second chapter of Devil's Luck, finished! As a side note, Ganae is not an OC, strictly. Ganae is the name we gave to the nameless design for Asuka's mother. So her name and personality are mostly made up by myself and Bakuto, but her appearance is canonical. Hope you enjoyed it, be sure to let me know with a review if you did. If you were confused, unsure, or just have questions about something not spoiler related, feel free to leave a review with your concerns and I will address them in the next reviewer response. If your questions are spoiler related, you will not get a full answer in a reviewer response, as I will avoid spoilers, so those questions would be best fielded in a PM. If you did not enjoy the chapter, review if you must, but I would appreciate it if you actually make suggestions instead of just pointing out what you think is wrong. That said, until next time, bye-bye!
