Chapter 14: Nature Fury: Destination

So far, as they went and prepared everything. Everyone freak out as they see him wearing the same red clothes he traditionally wears. But, Dante sweat-dropped a bit that it's like him but, minor change in his appearance, he shrugged it.

As they headed for the Magic Circle, they went to the forest entrance.

Wiese Forest Entrance

"We're here!" Lina happily replied. But, when she opens her eye, she notices the forest hadn't change a bit.

"Hey, I thought the demon is here." Lina's puff cheeks made Dante shrugged.

"We have an upper hand." Dante replied in his stony monotone.

"Why?" Fia asks.

"Because, if she get's here first, she's gonna make us dead." Dante gave out a muffled "humph"

"True, if she's first, we'll be wandering around like blind people." Ein commented Dante's tactics. And, a squirrel crosses again the path. Lina was happy.

"Look, a squirrel!" Lina happily replied.

"Yeah, it is." Fia replied. Ein made up a statement.

"I bet it would make it as a cute pet." Ein answered. Rose had a dark aura.

You think that animal is cuter than am I?! Rose exploded. Ein almost forgot that Rose is with him.

Sorry, just the the two of us, you're cuter than the squirrel. Satisfied Rose? Ein tried to escape the 'death lock' moment. Then, Rose became normal.

Thank you, Master Ein. Rose bowed in a cat-fashion.

"What about you Dante?" Serene joyfully asks.

"Cute, cuddly, fluffy and plain... Whatever." Dante replied in his silent 'him'.

"Wow, couldn't let hunter react it." Serene gloomily replied.

Then the squirrel runs away from them.

"Do you think they're scared from someone?" Lina asks worriedly.

"Animals have quite sensitive senses that will react if any danger lurks." Dante stated the senses of the animals well.

"You're smart Dante, how'd you know all of those?" Serene asks.

"My, father use to teach me one of those days, I had a ride" Dante close his eyes.

Cierra clasped her hands in amusement of Dante's memories.

"Great, can we get going?" Dante replied back with his serious tone. Then everyone nodded. When they pass through the foliage, Dante clambers the tree's branches blocking the way. The girls manage to clamber the tree's branches. Unluckily, when Fia accidentally clambers the tree's branches, the branch itself whipped back. Pushing Fia back with full making the unwary Ein get knock by a damsel in distress, Fia was knocking back until on Ein's chest. Ein received a lout 'thud' at his guts. He was push full force. But, he has an unwary grip on Fia's lower body.

"Ugggh!" Ein got hit by a large tree at his back. Panting at his breath, Ein didn't suspect his hands are around Fia's lower body. When Fia regained all of her senses, she notices that Ein's arm had wrapped around her lower body. And even worst of all, an all-top scream sounded the quiet forest.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"Must be those love birds, again." Dante sheepishly place his hand on his forehead and decided to give command to Serene, Cierra and Lina.

"We'd retreat for a while; we got our self a silly company." Dante mumbled. The rest assumed to follow to the couple's track. When the trio had arrived, they saw a deafened Ein and a fainted Fia.

"Perv! Ein's a perv!" Lina stick her mouth out.

"Which makes them both 'perv', how do you think of that?" Serene suggested. Then Lina's light bulb lightened.

"How about, 'Mr. and Mrs. Perv'? It's better, Serene" Lina happily commented the answer.

"Now THAT'S is THE BEST!" Serene gives Lina a thumbs-up to her. Lina gives back Serene a wink. Dante sweat-dropped, he notices Rose. He already knows she was in a bad mood.

Is Ein gonna get a punch? Dante asks.

No, a death-claw and a punch of orbit! Rose made a noisy growl. Cierra notices Rose acting strange. She picks up a growling Rose and strokes her back.

Aww, not to zzzzzz. Rose cut the talk with her snooze. Dante had to admit: For a frisky being, you can put it to sleep. He cheaply thought of it. Cierra holds her at her arms.

"Great, how are we going to wake up her?" Dante asks. He sees Ein regaining some color.

"That was a big scream I ever heard. Ohh, my bleeding ear, it still throbs until now. Ohhh," Ein tried to calm his super-damage ear. The eardrum nearly got broken due to Fia's ear-splitting scream.

"Look's like you're gonna carry her." Dante chuckled as he likes this act.

"Oh, not again, is this my death price?" Ein groans as he went to carry Fia once more at his back.

Keeps getting better and better Dante evilly smiled to himself.

Time pass as they went in through the cavern entrance, (which Ein had most of all, HARDEST, because, he has to carry Fia at his back.) Dante chuckles more as the Ein-Fia show was getting him amused him.

"I'm pretty sure she likes more on somewhere on open-field, full of vegetation and wide. A Hell Gate is rested there. Also, we're not going at circles." Dante talks to himself.

Noticing that the cavern they went has a odd place to send them.

They went into a cavern, after 15 minutes passed, they notice Fia's eyes are fluttering with revival and shock that once more she was on Ein's back (once more).

"It's a terror, no doubt their unlucky fates about it." Dante smiled once more. Fia smacks Ein's head with her clenched fist.

"Ow!" As Ein takes the beating on Fia's fist, Ein couldn't believe that Fia can be evil as this. But, Fia's mad-rage suddenly turns her into an innocent, timid herself. She saw herself punching Ein's head with her fist. She couldn't believe it that she smacks Ein with her own hand. She tried to say sorry Ein who was whimpering in pain.

"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry Ein! I didn't mean to, I'm so so sorry!" Fia tried to calm Ein a bit. Ein got quite assured now when Fia touches his cheek.

"And, the drama," Dante sighed. As everything to Ein and Fia was a world pause at that moment. Then, Serene and Lina burst to laughter.

"Also, the jokes I'll be laughing at, ha ha." Dante stared the view malignantly.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Roars of laughter filled by Lina and Serene who throws back and laughs too hard.

Fia and Ein turned tomato-face. They were humiliated. Fia wanted to apologize for her clumsiness.

"I'm sorry, Ein, I kinda am weak." Fia blushed furiously. Ein awkwardly stood up with Fia.

"Are you guys done? We got a business to be dealt with." Dante replied. He didn't want this show at this way. Ein and Fia nodded at his question.

+X+

After a milestone of hiking, they notice another Hell Gate. This time, a large snake-woman appears onto them. Her vicious cunning blood eyes stares onto the onlookers. Her voice was filled with malignant.

"You're my guest; I'll be your host." A slithery woman-snake voice hissed. Dante was pissed of this stupid voicing.

"If you make us at home then, we'll be your guest then." Dante under his cold yet cocky demeanor rises up.
