Once Upon A Time
Chapter Two: The Fallen Hunt
An entire month went by after that day, and everyone except a select few had moved past the fact that Issei Hyoudou was murdered. The now renamed "pervert duo" were so down in a sulk that they damn near completely stopped perverting out around the woman. If anything, they honestly started to avoid peeking in on the Kendo girls changing or anything like that. It was like their entire mojo went out the door the second week into the month.
Another person that was effected by this was Dante, he vowed to himself to find the his "brother's" killer and slaughter the punk bitch who thinks they'd get away with murdering the only thing that pretty much kept Dante sane. The first week he became way more reclusive, ignoring everyone and everything. Going to the roof, or just ignoring people who wanted to talk to him. The second week started and he started cutting class, which shouldn't have come much of a surprise, though he did get into a fight with some fool in the Council.
Saji was his name; the punk had the balls to make fun of the pervert who got his "just deserts" as he called it, right in front of Dante because Sona and her Council had come to find the golden eyed male to get him to go back to class. That day didn't end well for anyone, because he almost murdered the poor boy. He had beaten the living fuck out of him, ignoring everyone around him to damage the kid in a blind fit of rage. Even worse off, as for his attempted murder, he had held the kid upside down by the ankle, dangling him over the roof's edge and threatening him that if he ever talked shit about Issei like that again, he'd not only drop Saji, but in such a way that the boy would live, only to die from the pain of Dante jumping over the edge to land on the boy's crotch with his heels.
Needless to say, Dante was not one to be messed with during this situation. Not only did he become reclusive, violent, and downright hostile, but Dante also finally let loose his hold on his smoking and drinking. Once in a while kids would see him on the roof with a cigarette or off school grounds with a six pack. No one knew where he got those things, but, no one really questioned him in fear of their life. The third week, he just didn't show up at all to school. He just stopped coming.
With Dante, Apartment B17 A complex
Dante could be found sitting in his Apartment going over everything he had on information. From what he knew, it was a fallen angel who had killed Issei Hyoudou, all the evidence points to it. But who? That was the question at hand.
Sitting there on his couch of the small apartment, he was looking down at a coffee table with a few vanilla folders and papers scattered about as he was reading over a few other report incidences. He was going to hunt down anyone, and he meant ANYONE who had to anything to do with his brother's death. Or else he wouldn't be the man he was today. Sighing again, he leaned back. "That's right…" Remembering now how old he actually was, and why he had gone to that school in the first place. This man was 18, and looked a bit older than he actually was, but he did have the wisdom of an ancient.
Sighing again he went straight back to work, making a few connections here and there before a sudden realization hit him, and his lips twitched a bit annoyed. There was big connection of all the locations of death. The park… Oh this meant fallen were moving on devil territory without them even knowing it. That in its own right was funny and terrifying in its own right.
Suddenly jumping up and heading straight to another part of his Apartment, this was where he stashed his weapons and gear as both a mercenary, and a hunter. He never really liked being anything but a human, and he was pretty much human other than his godly regeneration and literal immortality to time. Plus the fact that he at any time he truly wished he could hunt down the "Order of The Old" as they called themselves, he just called them reapers, and go talk with an old "friend" of his in that faction.
Upon entering the room, one would see a single wall, literally lined up and down with weapons, ranging from blades to rifles, against that wall and more off in the corner was a work space for making, reloading, and creating new types of bullets. Then on the other side in the opposite corner was another workspace with a half taken apart Uzi with a . Silver-baller which was changed and retrofitted to handle most types of ammunition of its caliber. Ranging from elemental rounds to pure magical shots of energy. Though it was in the process of being repaired still, a quick sigh he walked in further shutting the door behind him and locking it. It was going to be a very long night for him.
The Next Day around 9:00 O'clock P.M.
Yawn~…
Leaning back on a park bench, a tired looking teenage male with snow white hair and dull golden eyes was leaned back. Wearing a black long coat that went down past his thighs to hide away down to half his shins, large military style combat boots with a pair of black armored combat jeans, a black long-sleeved shirt with a white demon skull on it, but it was hidden away behind a bit of armor fitting. (If you want an idea of what it looks like, put on the elite riot gear from fallout NV's lonesome road DLC, but replace the coat with Nemesis's leather coat from Resident Evil.) On top of his head was a pair of black rimmed and gold tinted sunglasses.
All his other gear was hidden away under the coat, but one could tell he was dangerous and armed even without seeing any sort of real weapons on him. Though, the police can't do anything to him because they have no cause to and he could sue them and the police department for harassment. This is a win for him, either way no one was here at the moment but him, at least, not until just now of course.
Looking out of the corner of his eye, this white haired male could see another male, a tanned trench coat and fedora like hat on as he walked through the park; both of them stopped any action as Dante, the golden eyed male, flared a, very, very, deadly aura in front of the fallen angel.
Eyes wide, this male didn't even get a chance to say anything before Dante was up and staring at him. He spoke one question, and waited for an answer. "Where is the rest of your group?" He asked as if he knew something.
This took said angel by surprise; he couldn't believe he was found out already. "Heh…well looks like you devil's work quick."
"Don't put me in with that group of idiots and degenerates…Now, I'll ask one more time before I strike the fear of god into you…Where. Is. The. Rest. Of. Your. Little. Group?" He asked, flaring his aura again. Not really leaving much room for the angel to do anything. Quickly, the fallen leaped into the air and summoned a light spear.
"I am Dohnaseek, I grace you with the honor of knowing my name warrior…let us batt-"Cut off, he felt a sudden impact in his chest, he looked down to see he had been shot, he didn't even hear the noise of a gun. Looking to the male, Dante, had that 'I am not amused' face on. Then looked back to the wound noticing that the was now nothing but black liquid using out, it wasn't even blood.
That's when everything started to go downhill for the poor angel as he suddenly fell to the ground with a heavy thump and a broken arm now.
The golden eyed monster walked over and stomped onto the chest. "…I just shot you with a paralyzing agent…stopping you for at least twenty four hours, you can talk, but, most of your brain is inoperable at this time…until you give me what I want…you, are, my, bit-" cut off by a sudden strike of lightning, Dante jumped back hearing the screams of the fallen angel.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk…My, my, fallen angels in my territory, what a shame this is. I must be getting sloppy." A condescending voice spoke out as two women came walking out of the tree-line of the park. Both he recognized. One, being the red-headed goddess as Issei put it always, Rias Gremory, and the girl next to her, the second of the "Onee-sama's" Akeno…He forgot her last name actually, which made him blink. It was so out of character for him to do that.
His surprised face quickly faded as he looked to them with a cold indifference. "Would you mind? I'm having an interrogation here and you're damaging my informant." The voice was cold, collected, and had the edge that only an experienced killer would have.
"Ah I see…well, you see~ I can't allow th-" Cut off by his now even deadlier tone.
"Can't or won't?" Asked suddenly, taking both of them off guard on how his eyes narrowed as if he was ready to leap into action to kill them if they weren't careful.
"…A mix of both really." She told him before he sighed.
"At least let me get the answer before you ki-"He was cut off this time.
"I cannot. I'm sorry Dante-san, but I can't allow you to spark another war between the three factions…" She said in that now proud and condescending tone which aggravated him to no end.
"Then we've…got a big problem…" His voice taking that same dip as earlier before shooting into his coat and drawing another weapon, this time it happened to be a cross, a rather large one at that. Holding it in a funny way too, he held it with the longer bit pointing out and two fingers grasping each one of the two ends as the shortest end was against his hand and wrist.
Sighing again she looked to him. "Do you really think you can win against us?"
"Yes." He said blankly. At this, they both blinked and didn't expect such a straight forward answer, that's when Rias growled.
"No way some human could ever hope to defeat a high-class devil such as myself, show some respect y-"cut off by a sudden silenced shot fired off, it cut past her face and sliced open her cheek. Dante was now holding a smoking barreled handgun that was black version of his silver-baller with a silencer attached at the end.
"And I'm an Ultimate-class Hunter who just so happens to be on a level that you could never hope to reach… So, do you want to continue this game? Or do I actually have to start using my horrid powers?" He asked, his voice now angered, annoyed, and hostile, it was one of the few things no-body wanted to see from Dante. They both knew he was strong; he took on a four pawn fool of Sona's peerage and won. That just said a lot about this human.
Though, now, with that information dropped on them, eyes widened in shock about what they heard. Hoping to Satan that he was kidding. Both Akeno and Rias could be royally screwed. Well, that was until now.
Suddenly a red magic circle showed up and two people stepped out, a blonde pretty boy, and the white haired gi-….
"Koneko?!"
"Dante?!" The two in question asked each other at the same time. Confused on seeing each other, then Rias, Blondie, and Akeno face faulted in surprise. Out of both the fact that Koneko, the young emotionless girl actually was showing emotion and surprise, but that she KNEW this hunter. By name even, without any honorifics! That actually kind of scared Rias.
"What are you doing here Dante?" She asked still recovering from the shock of seeing her friend here. His response? He pointed to the downed angel and Rias.
"Seems your master is trying to stop me doing both my job, and getting my vengeance for Issei-otōto." He told Koneko and gave her a small smile. "Seems to be that we met again at a bad time…It seems fate just loves doing this to us at the same time no?" giving a small chuckle with his answer.
She sighed and looked to Rias before Dante. "I'm sorry Dante…Please don't hate me for this?" She asked, a bit hopefully.
He simply smiled and nodded. "I know Koneko, just business after all, well, for you…me it's personal this time…"
After finally recovering Rias looked to Koneko, then Dante, then back to her Rook. "You know each other?"
Koneko nodded. "Since I started at Kouh Rias-sempai." Dante then crossed his arms and looked to the now attempting to roll away angel, quickly walking over and giving a swift kick to his crotch.
Kiba, and for some reason, in a very fare away land, Michael (You'll find out later.) were both grabbing their crotches subconsciously and wincing at the sudden sound of cracking.
The fallen angel screamed in pain as the girls were broken away from their side conversation of learning how the two met by the sickening sound of someone breaking bones. Only to find Dante drilling the fallen angel's crotch with his foot, probably pounding the pelvis into dust. "You aren't getting off so easily bitch; you forgot what I told you. YOU ARE MY BITCH NOW!" He said the last part in his strangely demonic tone of doom.
This was a bit painful even for Akeno to watch, and she was a damned sadist! Though it did also get her a bit hot and bothered as well. Kiba on the other hand, mentally feared this new male; due to the fact how he just pretty much did the one thing no man should do to any other man. Rias wasn't scare so much surprise by Dante's pissed off side. She'd heard the rumors about this golden eyed male sending whole gangs to the hospital alone, but to do this, to a fallen angel without so much of a worry for the consequences, was kind of unheard of. Koneko on the other hand simply walked over to try to stop Dante from going too far. Grabbing Dante by the side and tugging lightly.
To this, Dante stopped and looked to Koneko before sighing and withdrawing his leg from the now destroyed crotch of the fallen angel who was literally crying tears of pain. Although, for a moment, you could have sworn those were moans of enjoyment earlier…
"..Thanks…Koneko..." Dante finally said before going back to his empathetic self and rolling the fallen angel onto his back. "Now…where-"
"THE CHURCH! PLEASE! NOT AGAIN! KEEP THIS PSYCHOPATH AWAY FROM ME! PLEASE!" screaming in the utmost fear as he was still paralyzed, he then was silenced and knocked out cold by a sudden boot to the face.
He looked to Rias and shrugged. "He's all yours…" Turning away and walking down the road, hand in his coats pockets before Koneko called his name, he stopped and turned to look.
"What are you going to do!?" She asked, still emotionless, but by the look in her eyes, she was worried.
"…To go slaughter some crows..." He replied nonchalantly. "Wanna come with?" He asked curiously with a quirked brow.
"Only to make sure you don't get yourself killed." She stated with still no emotion, this made said male smirk playfully.
"Awww~ See~ I knew you like me Koneko-chan~" he teased playfully, again, everyone in the place around them but him and Koneko looked shock. Their relationship was something else entirely.
"…Suck it…" She simply said, like their last conversation almost a month ago, this time he grinned even wider.
"Careful what you wish for~ you never know if it might happen." He teased her this time making her blush a bright pink before sighing.
"You know Dante…sometimes you can be a pervert…" She gave an annoyed glare before he shrugged.
"Hey, it's only towards you, you should feel a bit special in that regard." He smiled brightly before sighing. "Nah, no pervert really, just a bit playful and teasing…Come on' let's go murderous some pigeons!" He said a bit enthusiastically, a little, to enthusiastically for most of the groups liking, but Koneko gave a light smile and nodded before jogging up and next to him before the two started to walk away.
Rias, Akeno, and Yuuto, were all too shocked to think, say, or do anything at this time. Again, witnessing the emotionless female, and hostile male get along like, like…they couldn't even find a word for it. Those two were close, very close it would seem. As soon as they realized the two were leaving though, it was far too late. The two of them were gone. Sighing the red-headed princess of ruin turned to Kiba and spoke up. "Go with them and make sure Koneko doesn't get hurt..." With that Kiba nodded and was off before Rias sighed and turned to Akeno. "Well, let's take care of this fallen and move on…honestly I feel bad for this one."
"Fufufu…As do I. Honestly, Dante-san's wraith is kind of scare, the punishment he gave this one was even a bit over top for me." The devil angel told her master.
Well, that's all she wrote for this chapter. Heh...Now you can see partially the kind of guy this man is...Oh and he's still holding that strange cross...You'll find out about that soon. Teehee~ an awesome weapon to fight with in my opinion.
