Disclaimer: I do not own any character but Rizua. The plotline is also not mine, only where I edit Rizua into the mix or go off original storyline which will happen many times. Enjoy.
Patty slept the rest of the way to the train station, it's wasn't surprising since Rizua knew Patty could sleep through a hurricane if she wanted to. Rizua was already out of the car, carefully undoing Patty's seatbelt. She had the car doors open on both sides, Dante grew annoyed at this, but only watched.
At the last minute Rizua shoved Patty's body out of the car, hard enough for her to be midair before her short fall, which never came.
Patty landed perfectly on her feet with a scowl on her face, time for Rizua to run.
"You are SO dead!" Patty's shrill voice screamed from behind her as she made a run toward the station.
By the end of it Rizua was on Dante's shoulder looking down at little Patty who couldn't reach her now.
"Umm..." Dante said looking at a little black object dangling from Patty's hand.
"Kill it, kill it, kill it!" Rizua screeched, only to realize it was rubber... of course.
Soon you guys were seated in the back, Rizua next to Patty while Dante took up the whole seat on the other side. He was laying down, as if he were trying to sleep. Rizua became instantly annoyed, after the truck incident Dante should be a little more wary.
"Oh, even you can put on a cute face... is that a photo of a guy?" Dante suddenly interupted the silence. Rizua looked to see Patty looking at a picture in her locket.
"It's my mother! She's way more beautiful than your girlfriend!" Patty snapped, Rizua's eye twitched, 'I pity the girlfriend.'
"But... I don't remember her, they told me she died of an illness when I was a baby. All I have left is this photo..." She said more softly. Her own eyes softened as Rizua put a hand on her shoulder. She smiled at Patty, and she slowly did the same back.
"Oh, how beautiful, is that your mother's picture?" A man with glasses had appear next to them. He wore a green suit and carried some sort of suitcase. Rizua nearly glared at him. "Oh, your charming yourself." He said eyeing her hair and and blue eyes. It unnerved her how she was completely invisible next to Patty!
"Is there room for me to sit?" He asked, she were about to say no, but suddenly Patty shoved her on to Dante along with his guitar case. She let out a small 'oof' sound as she landed on him, he hardly moved other then to catch the guitar case.
"There are plenty of other seats." Dante said, but they ignored him. She ended up sitting on his stomach, the man with glasses sitting next to Patty. '... my Patty.' She almost hissed something unpleasant, but a nudge to the side from Dante told her to be quiet. She looked at him questioningly, but he only shook his head.
"Was I interupting something?" The man asked in a friendly tone, Dante beat her to the answer though.
"Nope, but I can't guarantee you'll survive." He said calmly.
"Wha..." Rizua started started to ask, but a dark tunnel cut her off. An arm shot out and pulled her against it's chest, her left left ear was against his chest as the same hand clasped over her right one. It happened so instantly, but even Rizua's muffled demonic ears heard the multiple gunshots.
The light returned to the train and she found yourself against Dante, his hands folded behind his head. She realized the hand at her ear was gone as well, she felt dazed for a moment.
"Gosh, why would their life be in danger just because-" Patty cut off when she saw the man who had been sitting there, fall to the floor dead. His head bled as if he had been shot.
Rizua's emerald eyes stared at the body, frozen in shock, "See, I warned him." Dante said in a bored tone.
He sat up, but held Rizua so she didn't fall, letting her slide next to him. 'He's... strong. H-he killed that demon in seconds then acted like it never happened!' It was rather an alarming discovery, a devil who killed other devils mercilessly, yet Rizua did not feel her life was in danger.
"I will explain this murder, the train was in that tunnel for ten seconds. There were seven people here. The old man could not do it, the couple had been in the back flirting, the girl (Patty) had been like that." He said
That got her attention and she turned to see Patty muttering something about her mother. "The girl here hasn't moved an inch."
The conductor who now stood there was dumbfounded, "Then who.." He was cut off by Dante, "There was one other person here, not really a person... a monster." Rizua closed her eyes as Dante said this... not feeling well.
The three of you left the train station as the sky got dark.
~Rizua's POV~
You stood next to Dante as you walked. Finally you looked up at him, "Dante..." You said softly. His steel gaze turned to you, but he did not stop walking, "Those demons... they were really after Patty... weren't they?" Your voice sounded strained, already knowing the truth.
"Let's go." He stated, and led you two to some run-down hotel.
"Welcome." A rough and creepy voice stated, a man that was behind the counter didn't look right at all.
"I want the cheapest room, please. We'll be leaving in the morning anyway." Dante said leaning against the counter with the guitar case on his back.
"One adult and two children." He said in a weak, yet bored tone.
"Two adults, and a young lady." Dante corrected, you felt your face heat up at being called an adult. You never thought you would actually be seen as one.
You were standing next to Patty when yur eyes froze on an opera advertising picture. That looked like Patty's..
"Mother..." Patty said suddenly. "Mother..Mister!" Patty said looking at the man behind the counter. "What is it?" He sighed.
"Where can I meet this woman!" She said urgently.
"Hey hey, didn't you say your mother died." Dante reasoned leading us upstairs. Your mind was locked on that picture though, was it real? Was Patty's mother still alive... was there a chance for her human friend's happiness?
"Damn, it's really cramped in here." Dante growled under his breathe. "Hurry up and get some sleep you two, we leave early in the morning." He said closing his eyes. The room had two twin beds, Dante had taken the whole of the second one."My mother... didn't die... she went missing." Patty started, making you turn to her. In truth, you were a little eager to learn a little about her.
"I overheard the doctor talking about it. Demons were after her, and now they are after me, aren't they! Does that mean shes dead?" She said glancing at Dante who was silent. "I don't care about the inheritance... I'll use it to buy things for the orphanage, but what we really want... is to see our real parents." A tear slid down her cheek.
She wiped them away quickly, "You're probably going to laugh at me now." She sniffed.
"No, anyone would want to be with their parents." Dante said never opening his eyes.
This was the first time you saw Dante being...nice.
"Anyway, I'm going to sleep and dream of hot chicks now." He said shifting comfortably, a sweat drop formed, 'Nevermind.' You thought standing in the corner as Patty hung her hat and went to sleep.
After about half an hour, you thought them both asleep and relaxed.
"Why aren't you going to sleep?" Dante stated in monotone voice, you jumped a little.
~Third POV~
Rizua moved from her leaned position and laid next to Dante. "One, Patty kicks like a horse in her sleep. Two, I was hoping I could talk to you
about..." Rizua hesitated. Dante sat up against the headboard, giving Rizua room to lay down fully. "Your not a threat to Patty, otherwise she
would have been dead long before she came to me." He shrugged. "Do you plan on staying with Patty in her new house?" His voice showed little
interest. "No, she asked me to tag along because, well I guess you can say I'm her support. Inheriting all this money and going alone to a house
she doesn't know? It's scary for a kid like her." Rizua stretched, glancing over at Patty's passed out form. "So what are your plans after this?" She
didn't know what he was getting to. "Well, i've been out of the orphanage for a week now, me becoming an adult and all. I don't particularly
enjoy living as a human, but almost all my power is sealed up so I'm pretty much near useless as one." It took a strong demon to lock up
another's powers, Dante knew this, but he didn't press. Instead he startled her with his next words, "I don't often come across demons who
befriend or ally themselves with humans. After we drop Patty off you can stay with me if you like, I can dress you up like a maid and put you to
work... a red-headed demon maid, can't say the thought isn't, oof!" Rizua whacked him hard with a pillow, then turned over so her back was
facing him. that wasn't exactly a no.
~Rizua's POV~
"Shit." You heard Dante suddenly said. Your body involuntarily jumped and you fell off of the bed. The hard floor wasn't the best wake up call let me tell you.
You were picked up suddenly and swept downstairs, your mind was foggy and you were confused, "Dante?" You muttered.
"Wheres the younger lady I came in with!" Dante ordered the man behind the counter.
"How should I know." Was his reply.
"The sugar buscuits are on the stove-top." You mutter half asleep.
Dante blinked and looked down at you from where he held you dangling from the waist in one of his arms. He pulled out Ebony instead of talking and shot the picture of Patty's mother looking like she was singing some sort of opera. This, of course, woke you up with a start.
"What the fuck!" You yelped covering your ears, then noticed the picture turn into some moth demon...
"You ass, who are you?" He hissed hold you a little tighter against his side, ow. The man laughed, or rather an attempt to cackle
"I know a lot about you." The man said.
"In that case, you know you can't kill me with crap like that right?" Dante said, as if he was ready to smirk. You shuddered as you realized the man had a gun against Dante's back.
"So, where the hell is Patty?" Dante said suddenly glaring at the man. You gasped, Patty was missing? 'I knew Dante wasn't paying enough attention!' You thought, covering the fact that you didn't catch her dissappearance either.
The car moved fairly fast, and you discover this guy was a lesser demon. You proceeded to bang your head against the car window for your own stupidity, "So the Royale brother's hired demons to get rid of her so they would have the inheritance to themselves." Dante said, disgusted with the thought.
The car rounded to the opera house Patty was at and you jumped out before the others could protest, "Rizu!" Dante yelled after you, but you were already inside.
You saw a demon holding Patty, in the clothes of the opera picture, Patty had been fooled!
"P-p-pa.." You couldn't speak. You growled and ran as fast as you could down the isle trying to get to Patty in time.
"Let your mother finish you off!" The hideous demon said, a few others came... you couldn't make it.
You cried out for Patty as the demons teeth came down toward patty's head.
BANG
That followed by more shots killed the demon woman and the other four that had been creeping up.
"Hey, hey, do you really like this crappy opera?" Dante said, smirking at us.
"Dante!" The two of you yelled in relief.
"I..just wanted to see my mother." Patty tried to explain, you stared at the stage dropscene that had fallen over the dead demons.
"Dante!" You yelled getting his attention as more demons came from behind the dropscene. Moving fast, Dante shot the next dropscene down and looked at Patty
"Looks like the finale of that show hasn't started, sorry from here on it's adults only." He stated as the dropscene hid him, barely. You yelped since you were on the side with the demons with Dante. "Your a demon, right?" Dante said handing you his second gun.
You nodded and grabbed it, aiming for the nearest demon, before long.. it was over. Dante suddenly shot outside the the thin paper that concealed the two of you. The weak demon from earlier suddenly ran off, you wondered what the lesser demon was doing to get shot at.
