Chapter 5

(Dante's pov)

The next day... I wake up with no pain. I ate some breakfast and sat down on the couch and I noticed Mizuki was giving me a concern look on her face.

"How do you feel, Dante?" Mizuki asked me.

"I'm fine. In fact, I feel great." I smiled.

"Huh...must've of been the Tsuchinoko soup. That soup is really famous in Japan and some people say it's source of meal to get more energy."

"Cool. So...what does the Tsuchinoko snake looks like?"

Mizuki shows me a picture of what it looks like and I was curious. It was this crypid looking snake with sinister looking eyes.

"That's the one?" I asked.

"Yup."

"Wow..." I said rather amazed.

That snake looked really fascinating. I never thought those snakes existed.

"So...what should we do? We have nothing to do and you're wounds are healed."

"I don't know, Mizuki. Darkstalkers still lurk around the city and I'm really paranoid about it." I sighed.

"We're in a house, Dante. No one is going to get us here."

"Seriously though...I'm paranoid."

She sighs.

"I know...at least Rachael will keep an eye on us."

"She isn't alone, right?" I asked with my eyebrow up.

"Right. They're everywhere. Mostly undercover." She smiled.

"I see..." I said as I laid down on the couch.

"Let's go shopping later. I really want those Chocolate Pocky sticks." She suddenly smiled.

"Want me to get it for you?"

"Are you sure? I don't want to make you do things if you don't want to."

"It's better than trying to fight my inner demon who is trying to take over me and...do something to you." I groaned.

"What!? Ew!"

"Though I doubt he takes an interest to minors but still...I don't want to hurt you if I lose control." I said as I looked at the floor.

"I pray Rachael knows what she's doing..."

20 minutes later.

I was in the grocery market getting the Pocky sticks Mizuki wanted when this strange woman with long green hair and had casual looking Japanese clothes with yellow eyes. Only one thing I know she's not Japanese...

"Hello. You must be Dante" She smiled.

She's Scottish.

"Uh...yeah? How do you know my name?" I asked suspiciously.

"A friend of yours told me your name. What was her name...? Ah...Rachael."

"Um...okay. can I help you?" I asked rather uncomfortable.

"Yes. I was wondering if we get talk to each other. You know just to know you more."

"Sorry. I'm rather busy babysitting with someone. Perhaps another time."

She gives me a smile still and giggled.

"I know who she is too. Little perky Mizuki. Tell I said hi when you see her."

She suddenly gets close to my ear and whispers...

"And I will be seeing you soon, lover boy."

She leaves me be and I see another woman with light purple hair glaring at the Scottish woman. I decided to buy the Pocky sticks quick and head out the store without letting either of the women see me again as I head back to Mizuki.

"You got the Pocky sticks?" Mizuki asked me.

I gave Mizuki the Pocky sticks and sat down on the couch.

"I met this strange woman when I got inside the store."

"Oh?" Mizuki smirked a bit like I was joking.

"I'm not kidding. Had green long hair, Green eyes, had a Scottish accent. Said she knows you and Rachael."

That's when she looked at me with shock mixed with fear.

"Dante, that's Morrigan Aensland. That was a succubus who rules the demon realm! She didn't hurt you or anything like that?"

"No...we just talked and told me that I'd see again sometime and wanted me tell that she said hi to you. That's it. I swear."

Mizuki sighed for a second.

"Good. I know her tricks. She's very manipulative and will do anything in her power to get what she wants." She said as she sat down on a sofa.

"In other words, me."

"Seems that way."

I groaned as I covered my face.

"I wouldn't consider her threat but she's trouble."

"I see. Then there's this other woman. Purple hair, purple eyes. Seems to know Morrigan from the way she glared at her." I scratched my head a bit.

"Oh boy..."

"What?"

"That's Lilith. Morrigan's sister. Best be careful. She is trouble. I'm not sure if she's a threat but be careful. She's trouble as Morrigan."

"How do you know? Have you had dealings with them?"

"No...Sis dealt with them before."

I looked at her suspiciously and she just growls.

"It's true, okay!?"

I flinched a bit of her outburst and she sighs.

"Sorry. Talking about them angers me."

"Okay...I'll drop the conversation about them."

I stood silent for the whole day and went to bed for the night only to meet my Demon Counterpart and boy did he look jolly as fuck.

"So my queen has decided to show her face."

"What?"

"You don't know do you? She is the queen of the Makai realm. You should be honored to meet such a wonderful woman." He chuckled.

"So she's a demon?"

"Correct. A S class succubus noble. Just like me. Just imagine how would it feel to be king of the Makai realm with the most loveliest woman of the realm."

"Uh...great?"

He gets behind me as his arm goes around my shoulder as he grinned.

"No...more than great. Amazing. Like a god. That's what I feel when I become a king of the Makai realm."

"I...see."

"Best wake up. Someone is at the door looking for you."

As I wake up and I hear a knock on the door.

"Coming." I said as I got off my bed.

I went to the door and as I opened it, Morrigan is right in front of my door with that smirk she had when I met her.

"Hi..."

Fuck...This just took one hell of a turn of what the fuck.

"What are you doing here?"

"Like I said, I wanted to talk to you."

In the middle of the night!?

She wraps her arms around my waist and we suddenly teleported to a rooftop. What the fuck is she doing?!

"It's been so long since I met an incubus." She said as she kissed me.

She then caressed my cheeks with a giggle.

"I will have you remember your past...your birth...our bond...And once that's done...you and I will be the rulers of the Makai realm."

What the fuck is she talking about?!
