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.
Rizua woke up that morning with a pleasant surprise. First off, instead of that awful duck tape tangling her limbs uncomfortably against her, Dante had held her all night, and that wasn't uncomfortable in the slightest. Second, she was awake first, which had neer happened before. Despite Dante's will to sleep all day he always got up before her in the morning, but there he was. His snowy hair had been thrown back, so she could see every inch of his face. Even with the hair in the way he was a handsome devil.
Rizua reached out and ran a finger through his hair, surprised further when it was incredibly soft. She knew so little about him, but it wasn't terribly important to her at that moment. She didn't realize he had woken up, but she did when she focused her attention on the icy blue that stared back at her.
Even a devil could look like an angel sometimes.
Rizua rolled out of bed and proceeded with her Friday routine, laundry.
She gathered all the clothes she could find that were dirty and put them in a basket. She wore green shorts and a white tank top as she left the shop, laundry in hand.
Rizua hadn't said anything to Dante yet, it almost felt awkward after what had happened last night. So lust definately was their for both of them, well she could only speak for herself. Oh, yep, outragous hormones had her daydreaming all the way to the laudermat.
When she was finished she headed back, wondering what she could say to Dante.
"Oh, Rizua hey!" Rizua turned to see Patty bound up to her waving.
"Patty! Coming over today?" She nodded excitedly. "Duh! What else is there to do?" Patty definately had a point.
They walked in to crashing noises to their right. Rizua turned to see the jutebox all broken up with Morrison looking ariund inside it. "Kay, what happened here?" Rizua asked, but she kinda already knew the answer.
Morrison confirmed it when he gestured over to a sleeping Dante on the couch. "Just fix it will ya?" He didn't even open his eyes to acknowledge us.
"Dante your just too violent, whether it's machines or beautiful women you can't seem to handle them right. You need charm school my friend." Morrison said shaking his head. "I agree!" Patty said from next to her.
Rizua stiffened a little, she looked to see Dante's eyes cracked, watching her. "Lay off, besides my luck with women isn't as bad as you think." Dante spoke, closing his eyes again, only a smirk played on his lips.
She felt her face heat up and that nasty little emotion called anger crawl up her spine. She slammed the basket to the wooden floor hard, luckily she didn't harm the basket nor the floor.
Everyone turned to her, not exactly surprised that she was angry, but confused as to why.
Rizua suddenly wanted to cover it all up, embaressed that she had reacted so badly. "Oh Patty, lets hide from the Don Juan!" She grabbed her friends hand and pretended to hide behind the pool table. Thankfully Patty played along.
Rizua ducked above the table for a moment to stick her tongue out and him. "Ya know, the pool table isn't exactly safe from the Dante-monster, but you know that already huh Rizua?" His voice was mocking, why was he suddenly being a jerk?
She realized it was the pool table where he had kissed her first, damn it. Had he got his little kiss and gotten bored with her now? Hurt swelled in her chest, but she didn't show it.
"Oh well if you want to get this thing fix you'll have to take the little bodyguard job." Morrison said clearly defeated by the jutebox.
After she had changed, Rizua found herself in Dante's convertible on the way to their job. They didn't speak for a while, but Rizua finally decided to vent her anger, "What the hell is wrong with you Dante? Why were you talking as if I was just some easy tail right in front of Patty and Morrison, they may not have known what happened but they could have caught on!" She glared acid daggers at him.
"Well I'm just being Dante, if you don't like it babe find another half demon to cuddle you at night. Besides, to say you aren't some easy tail after last night, hard to swallow." Dante never once turned to me or reacted in any way.
Rizua's eyes stung something fierce, but she didn't cry. "Thats not true, your never so cruel." She whispered, not caring if he heard.
When they got to the house, Rizua wandered as far from him as possible. Turns out they were playing bodyguard to this guy named Tim and his treasure hunting buddies. A bunch of unheard records were found in one of the rooms.
She wandered through the herd of humans pulling out the records and labeling them. It was that point in time she'd rather be what Dante was defending these cattle from. She felt bad for mentally picking on the humans, but she really didn't have a way to vent her anger otherwise.
A song suddenly sounded from Dante's direction. She turned to see him with that Tim guy and a portable record player. It was a rock song, but the woman's voice seemed to come alive behind the guitars and drums. Rizua felt calmer then, letting the music cling to her like satin.
Thats when everything exploded. The glass windows that made up the east wall all shattered, and these ugly lizard devils streamed through.
Rizua pulled out her weapon, hacking down all nearby devil's who tried to attack the humans next to her. Most of the ones that ran her way were shot down before she could slice her blade through their butter-like bodies. She glared at Dante for this.
When the lizards were done something big and almost human looking appeared at the window. Before she could attack it, she was thrown back by the sonic waves that came from the she-demon. Rizua hit the back wall hard, but she was fine. She looked to the she-demon again, but she had fled already.
Rizua huffed and helped some humans up, they were shaken, but continued to load the last of the records up.
I walked over to where Tim had also been thrown back. He sat up and she could see blood dripping from his head. Damn. Rizua ripped her tank top around her mid-section and put it to his head.
"First aid hombres!" She shouted, sending a couple humans to go find it. She put pressure against the blood flow, ignoring how her blood boiled when he winced from the pressure. The men came back and helped her bandage him up.
When they were finished she turned to see Dante a little too close behind her for comfort.
"Easy tail huh?" I snapped at him knowing he was straed at the exposed flesh of my stomach and back from the torn tank top.
He growled and reached out, gripped her forearm in a circulation cutting hold while dragging her off. She didn't fight him, not yet at least.
"What the hell is with you, are you trying to piss me off?" Dante yelled when they had gathered a good distance from the old house. Rizua's mouth gaped at him, who the hell did he think he was.
"No what the fuck is wrong with you. Everything was amazing yesterday and today it's like someone's playing jump rope with your intestines! I come back from cleaning clothes and you turn into a huge jackass over nothing! So, tell me, why the hell are you trying to piss ME off huh?" She huffed, her face felt overheated from the anger she just expelled.
"Me? You started it! This morning you just leave without saying anything at all! Above that before you left you avoided me completely!" Rizua twitched, but he was right. When she had been gathering clothes and washing up she had avoided him slightly, only because she didn't know what to say.
"Still no reason to say the things you did." She was suddenly sad, he could have asked her why! "I avoided you because i didn't know how to react ok." She confessed.
Dante suddenly pulled her into a bone crushing hug, his lips finding hers instantly. Had she been human, she probably would have broken in half. She sighed and melted into the kiss before pulling away.
"I'm sorry." She whispered, rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly. "Me too." He said looking at her arm, which hadn't bruised despite the pressure.
They headed back, but walking closer together then when they got here, much closer.
"So that devil chick wants her record?" Rizua asked in disbelief as Tim told them the story of Elena Huston, the singer of the song they had heard befor the attack.
Tim nodded, his fingers on the record lighty, he had loved her and it was obvious.
"Well, all thats left is a devil." Dante said rather unsympathetically. The plan was to lure her out with the music, which Tim then started.
It didn't take long at all for the devil to show her face. This time her human body was that like a mermaid. This was far from the Little Mermaid she had to admit.
Dante deflected her first charge with Rebellion. Those devil fingers like knifes, as well has her voice. Rizua stayed near Tim, playing meat shield yet again. They all easily dodged the sonic blasts this time, but the mermaid was fast.
The mermaid came barreling Rizua's way and she was ready. What she wasn't ready for was the blinding pain her blood caused as she delfected the mermaid. Rizua's throat threatened to close completely. The mermaid's other hand that dug into her chest was a scratch compared to what took over her body.
The mermaid was flung away and Rizua watched almost in slow motion as Tim raised his gun, but before he could shoot Dante's sword went right throught the demon.
The mermaid was impailed to the stone wall behind them from the sword. A human lay on the ground, like Dante had only hit the devil inside her.
Her breathing was about as labored as Rizua's, who slowly felt her airway clear.
She couldn't have known the human was still in there somewhere.
Tim held the Elena chick, but Elena would be fine.
Rizua would too, her injuries weren't fatal. She looked down to see five puncture wounds around her left breast. Great, she got groped by the she-demon thing. Not exactly her idea of gender experimenting, but Dante got a good laugh out of it.
"So, was that your first girl on girl experience?" Dante could have cried at how hard he laughed when he saw.
"Shut the hell up Dante." Rizua hissed, dragging him by the collar back to the car.
~Back at Devil May Cry~
Morrison fixed the jutebox with the money they made. Elena's song played in the backround to Rizua cleaning, Patty had left only moments before.
Dante stretched lazily on the couch, arms folded behind his head. Rizua was a little miffed that she didn't have her couch seat as often anymore. He probably did it to annoy her.
She finished up and sat down on his stomach, "Ya know Dante, I could go for some pizza about now." To prove her point her stomach growled.
Dante laughed and winked at her, "Couldn't agree more."
