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.

~Dante's POV~

I woke up that morning feeling good. Who wouldn't when you woke up next to a viciously sexy red headed female all tied up in bed? I rolled out of bed and got dressed in my usual attire, always the first one up.

I decided I'd go to my usual bar and get a sundae, bring one back for Rizua. I looked over and saw her sleeping peacefully, unable to see the duck tape under the sheets.

Slowly I walked over and brushed her hair from her face, I wasn't used to this mello face from her. I leaned over and kissed her cheek gently.

"What women do to me." I whispered to myself, briefly looking over my shop as I passed it. It was a total wreck at the moment. While they had been gone some demon's followed my scent and nearly destroyed the downstairs. I killed them off of course, but this place would need some working on.

~Rizua's POV~

I woke up late as always, going through the routine of shredding the duck tape and getting out my favorite outfit, which was Dante's pants and boots that I claimed as my own. I touched my cheek for a moment, it was tingling for some reason.

I took a shower before changing and looking over the shop. Regrettably this would take a bit to clean, no fun missions for me for a while.

At that moment Patty appropriately walked into the shop, gasping at the sight, "Seriously Rizua! How can you stand how easily this place gets messed up!" I just smiled at her.

"Well Patty since your here do you want to help? Dante's obviously not here. Actually we could say screw the shop and go hang out just you and me if you want?" I saw Patty brighten.

"Why don't we clean up the big stuff then go out? It would at least be progress on this place." Patty offered and we got to it.

We got into a water fight not shortly after, but got a good bit done before leaving the building. "Hey Patty I know where we can go!" I said grabbing her hand and running toward a very familiar place.

It was a playground, right near a memorial for Sparda. It wasn't too far, but patty was out of breathe so I let her catch it.

I studied the stone monument of the man whom I had served indirectly. "What made you love humans so much?" I questioned the stone, almost willing it to respond to me.

"Rizua! Come push me on the swing!" Patty yelled from my right. I smiled then, "You know, I thought I hated you. My powers locked up, and I'm killing my own kind... but... I think I understand why you made your choices. You found a human didn't you? A human that changed the way you thought about their kind completely right? I wish we all found that special human, then we wouldn't be such a greedy and violent race." If only he was listening to me. I didn't feel silly for talking to stone, it made me feel better.

"Coming Patty!"

~Dante's POV~

I walked around town doing small jobs, all while being followed by an annoying human. I met him at my usual bar, he was trying to get with the waitress, and it was mention he should be more like me then she would go out with him. That was a couple days ago and he had been following me ever since

Well if this guy was going to tag along he had better be ready for one hell of a ride.

~Rizua's POV~

I got home late noon, Patty had gone home. Dante still wasn't home, but I wasn't complaining. I fixed myself some dinner in the kitchen in the meantime. I fixed some for Dante too just in case he didn't eat on his way home. The place seemed a little empty for my taste, the orphanage had always been so loud.

It was painful how easily she got used to things, change kinda hurt. It was dark, but I decided to take a walk. Before I could get out the front door it opened. I expected it to be Dante, but it was a human. I ducked behind the couch, curious at what he was up to.

The demons on Dante's wall behind the desk started talking to the human, those guys never shut up. I wished Dante would destroy them already, but he found them funny. The human ran upstairs and I jumped out. There wasn't really any damage the human could do so why would I care?

Not that I could do anything about him, besides possibly scare him.

"Rizua! Where's Dante?" Oh, the door opened again and Lady stood there. She stared at my outfit, but disregarded whatever she was thinking, "Nice outfit, looked better on you." She said when a thump what heard upstairs.

"That Dante?" I shook my head, she dissappeared upstairs and didn't come back down. She must have left through a window or something. What a weird night, I lied about the whole quiet thing.

After a while I decided to try my hand at pool. I found myself failing at it, hitting the eight ball into the socket almost every time, and that was the only one I could sink!

I aimed for one closer to a socket and away from that damn eight ball this time. "Your holding your stick wrong." A deep, familiar voice sounded just at my ear. Dante was suddenly pressed up against me from behind, cause me to insta-blush something aweful.

He guided my hands correctly, and helped me hit a ball into the socket, needless to say I wanted to jump for joy. I turned to him, leaving the pool stick on the side of the table.

"You were out an aweful long time." I was pouting, but I was still jealous that he was getting all the fun at the moment.

"Eh, well I just got done obliterating a demon mafia so I can't deny they were annoying." He shrugged,"Plus I've had this human trailing after me like a lost puppy, it's actually rather interesting."

"Is he a tall blond guy with a square face?" I asked, remembering the guy from earlier.

"Yea, how did you know?" I just grinned, "Oh umm, lucky guess?"

"Lucky my ass." I raised my eyebrow at him, but he did something unexpected. He picked me up by my waist and sat me on the pool table, then stood between my legs rather closely. I squeeked at the action and turned away.

"Hey, getting scared already? I haven't even kissed you yet!" His voice was full of humor and I found myself glaring at him. "You could warn me ya know!" I huffed.

"Your so cute when your angry, which is all the time, so either way it's win-win for me. Alright, well I'm about to kiss you Rizua." He said lowing his face to mine. He smelled like strawberries all the time, but she only now realized it. Maybe eating all those sundaes made you smell like them.

I almost held my breathe when his face was close enough to touch mine. Those blue eyes were impossibly close, she rarely saw them through his white hair. "You shouldn't hide those eyes." She whispered, almost scared he would pull away if she said something wrong.

Then he kissed her. It wasn't a shy or weak kiss, but it wasn't a jaw breaking one either. It was one of those passionate ones that made you a little dizzy. The initial force of it made Rizua back into the table a little bit, causing some of the balls to scatter. A few went into nearby sockets, Dante much have heard it because he smirked into the kiss.

I felt his arm snake around my waist to keep me stationary, and we broke only to breathe, but he stayed close. "Open to me, beautiful." He whisper going in for another kiss. It didn't register what he said until his tongue traced my lower lip, causing me to shudder and gasp. He took the opportunity enter and explore my mouth. I hadn't expected this at all, but my confidence grew slowly as I began to fight his tongue with mine.

I heard, or rather felt, him growl lowly at my bold resistance to him. Hey, dominance runs in the whole being a demon thing. His other arm gently held my face tilted toward him, and my arms had found themselves holding him under his coat for dear life.

Finally we pulled apart, but our hands stayed where they where. We were both breathless, and to me every second was amazing. My body tingled, still feeling his lips against mine. It was then I realized how tired I was, and Dante's eyes showed he was exhausted as well.

I covered my mouth and giggled a little, earning a cynical look from him. "It's just, I was expecting you to piss me off and give me a kiss on the forehead with your sarcastic voice saying 'you never specified where to kiss you.' ,but this was just... mind blowing." I had no other word for it.

He began to laugh with me, "Bed time sleepy head." He said picking me up and carrying me upstairs, I didn't mind at all, since I didn't think my legs would work anyway.

~Third POV~

Dante carried her to bed, throwing off his jacket when he had set her down. He took off his top and boots casually, then pants. He wore another set of pants underneath that were more comfortable that he slept in. Rizua just tossed off the pants and boots, she always slept in some sort of female boxers she had underneath.

Dante laid down in bed next to her, but this time he pulled her to him not bothering with duck tape tonight. If she wanted to fight him in her sleep then he would just hold her down.

"Tell me my story, Dante." She yawned out, curling into him without complaint.

"Well, I have a brother named Vergil. Around when I bought this place, still looking for a name to call it, Vergil decided he would open the gate to hell using this tower..."

He told the story about his journey through the tower, fighting his brother, Arkham, and even how he met Lady. By the end of it Rizua just smiled and drifted off to sleep.

Dante smiled into her hair, her heavy breathing signaling she had fallen asleep. He decided he would set that human guy straight tomorrow. Tonight this green-eyed angel would haunt his dreams.
