Devil May Cry: Scarlet Bullets

Chapter six: Sniper rifle proposal.

Dante was watching TV at his apartment, flipping through the channels.

"The cable at this school sucks." Dante sighed. "I bet Vergil's doing something really messed up right now." He smirked. "That guy's always been a serious hardass."

"Can I come in?" Reki knocked on the door.

"And who might you be?" Dante smirked. "The cute new pizza delivery girl?"

"No." She answered in an unemotional tone. "My name is Reki."

"Aria's friend?" Dante shrugged. "If you're looking for her, she's fast asleep in the room."

"I'm here to see you." Reki pointed at Dante. "Tony Redgrave."

"Well, you're looking at me." Dante shrugged. "Want something?"

"You're Dante, the son of Sparda, right?" Reki asked.

"Who told you?" Dante asked.

"I spied on you and Aria." Reki walked towards Dante. "I saw you fight your twin brother."

As Dante and Reki spoke, Aria woke up in her bed.

"So, more stalkers." Dante sighed. "I should really consider a restraining order."

"Dante." Reki pointed her Dragunov sniper at him.

"You know that thing will just tickle me, right?" Dante gave Reki a cocky grin.

"You are powerful and skilled, for the sake of the Ulus tribe." Reki put away her sniper rifle and looked into Dante's eyes. "You will marry me."

"What?" Dante joked. "You gonna make this a shot gun or sniper rifle wedding?"

"If I have to." Reki said. "I need a strong partner to have a child with."

"Then check out a gym or something." Dante deadpanned. "I'm not into that crappy relationship stuff."

"I won't take no for an answer…" Reki stared at Dante

"Then what if I say, "not interested?" does that count?" Dante sighed.

"You will give me a child…" Reki wrapped her arms around Dante's neck and she kissed him.

"Hey!" Aria yelled out after she left the bedroom. "What's going on!?" She saw Dante and Reki kissing. "Y-y-y-you pervert!" She was getting jealous and angry.

"This might be the most cliché and overused line." Dante stepped away from Reki. "But this isn't what it looks like!"

"Y-y-you were kissing Reki!" Aria took out her handguns. "I'll blow holes through you, Dante you cheating slave!"

"She was kissing me!" Dante objected.

"Y-you didn't stop her!" Aria shot at Dante.

"Dante and I will get married…" Reki held onto his arm.

"I won't let my slave marry another girl!" Aria gave Dante a jealous glare and she shot at him.

"Screw this!' Dante dodged Aria's bullets and headed for the balcony before jumping off. "See you lovely ladies later!" He smirked.

After Dante had landed on the ground, he headed over to Eric's.

"Back again?" Eric greeted Dante. "Having some more home trouble?"

"Yeah, the wife's pissed at me." Dante joked about Aria.

"Here." Eric placed a strawberry sundae on the counter. "It's on the house."

"Thanks!" Dante smiled. "You have no idea how much I needed this." He dug into his strawberry sundae.

"So, what did you do to Aria this time?" Eric asked as he wiped a glass.

"I got proposed to by some weird chick." Dante deadpanned.

"Kids these days." Eric sighed. "They want to grow up so fast."

"The married life isn't for me." Dante took a bite of his strawberry sundae.

"How's Riko?" Eric asked in a concerned tone.

"Don't sweat it, she's probably off stealing something." Dante joked.

"That's my great-granddaughter " Eric laughed.

"Your what now?!" Dante was confused.

"Where are my manners?" Eric chuckled. "My real name is Arsene Lupine, the Phantom Thief."

"That's a shocker!" Dante almost spat out his ice cream. "Tell me, how are you not six feet under?"

"As a demon hunter, you learn a few tricks." Eric smiled. "Like infusing demon blood into your system."

"That sounds nasty." Dante joked.

"But you never had to do that. "Eric smirked. "Son of Sparda."

"Great, now everyone knows." Dante deadpanned and he took another bite out of his sundae.

"You are just as charismatic as your father, especially with women." Eric smiled. "I have a gift for you." Eric placed two handguns that looked almost identical to Ebony and Ivory on the table.

"Nice guns." Dante grinned. "But I have a pair."

"These were your father's." Eric said. "Their called, "Luce and Ombra" Use them well."

"Thanks for the gift." Dante smiled. "But I think I know someone that would really like this."

"Aria, right?" Eric asked. "You two really go together, but I would prefer it if you looked at Riko."

"Relationship's aren't my style." Dante deadpanned as he finished his sundae. "But Riko's hot, I'll give her that."

"Just like your father." Eric laughed. "He said something like that, then he met your mother."

Dante headed for Enzo's hotel room when he noticed Aria, sitting down on a bench with an upset look on her face.

"Yo, princess!" Dante called out to Aria. "Why the sad look?"

"You're such a cheating jerk…" Aria looked away.

"Look, she kissed me, ok?" Dante sighed and sat next to Aria. "Besides, we're partners!"

"Then why?!" Aria glared at Dante. "Why do you keep looking at other girls?!"

"That jealous side is pretty cute." Dante smirked and kissed Aria's forehead.

"D-Dante!" Aria blushed.

"Relax." Dante smiled. "I'm not leaving you."

"You better not!" Aria hugged Dante. "You're my slave!"

"We still have to catch Riko, right?" Dante smirked. "I need you for that."

"Right!" Aria smiled. "So you better not leave my side!"

"Don't plan to!" Dante smiled. "Merry Christmas!" Dante handed Aria Luce and Ombra. "Here's your present."

"New guns?" Aria looked at Luce and Ombra with an amazed look on her face. "They look so cool!"

"They were my old man's" Dante grinned. "Now their yours!"

"Thank you so much!" Aria hugged Dante again.

"Hey!" Dante joked. "PDA isn't my thing."

Meanwhile, at the IU base Jeanne was receiving orders from one of Vlad's contacts.

"Your target is Shirayuki Hotogi." The contact told Jeanne. "You will have her join us."

"As you wish." Jeanne replied.

"You will be alone on this mission, Gilver won't be backing you up." The contact said.

"I can handle that." Jeanne said. "But may I request something?"

"I'll allow it." The contact nodded.

"I want all your files on Gilver." Jeanne requested.

"Very well." The contact said.

"Gilver… your fighting style and voice are so familiar… I'll find out who you are." Jeanne thought to herself.

Elsewhere in the base, Gilver stared out of the window, holding Yamato.

"Might controls everything… and without strength…I can never protect anything…" He thought about Jeanne.

"Hello, Vergil." Riko snuck up on him. "Ready for our next job?" She smiled.

"Very well…" Gilver replied coldly.

At the Butei High girl's dorms Shirayuki was furiously texting Dante over and over.

"I heard you took a girl to a hotel!" Shirayuki said with dull eyes and a killer aura. "Dante… we have to talk." Her killer aura got stronger. "All cheaters must be punished!"

Author's note: Here's a little filler chapter! Aria receives Luce and Ombra and we find out who Eric really is! Jeanne is suspicious of Gilver and Dante's in hot water with Shirayuki! Next chapter, we dig into Dante's past with Shirayuki and after that Dante fights Jeanne.

Now to answer my reviewers,
