Dante's Debt
By: DMEX
Ch. 7
Sedusa? That Evil Bitch?
The children in Pokey Oaks Kindergarten had no knowledge of what happened with Ms. Keane let alone that Dante was involved too. Dante tried not to show any signs of anything and it seemed to work…
At least Ms. Keane is happy with Dante… Better than having that fire chain wielding psychopath like the Ghost Rider… Sure, Ghost Rider could be nice, but one little thing would set him off and a lot of people got hurt, maimed and/or killed…
All was quiet during arts and crafts until…"DAMMIT!" Dante roared in pain while favoring his left shoulder. "Are you okay?" Ms. Keane asked perplexed by his outburst.
"My fucking shoulder is killing me!" Dante snarled in pain. "That's what happens when you pick fights with monsters." Ms. Keane warned him trying not to let the cat out of the bag… Well, Buttercup just couldn't resist this… "Sounds like my kind of guy." she said in pure arrogance. Blossom just kicked Buttercup in the shin for that remark.
"You did remember to take that hourly anti-venom?" Ms. Keane asked. "If I didn't, I'd be on the floor gagging my fucking guts out!" Dante snarled. Ms. Keane didn't say anything; figuring it was just that Dante was lashing out due to pain. So, Ms. Keane urged Dante to get to the hospital.
-Townsville Hospital-
Lady just happened to be their when she saw Dante come in clutching his shoulder.
"What happened to you?" Lady asked. "Damn cobra demon…" Dante only snarled. Dante snarled as he went in to see the nurse. Lady accompanied him, knowing that Dante has a very short fuse…
The nurse's name was Heart, Sarah Heart. She seemed really nice. Her complexion seemed more ghostly and pale, her hair was a silver as Dante's but a bit shorter. Not much seemed to stand out. At least, that's what Dante thought.
To him, she seemed like just another Demon half-breed that decided to live among Humans for whatever her own reasons and thought nothing of it. Lady seemed to know that face somewhere, but didn't say anything.
Nurse Heart: Let me have a look at it…
Dante tosses his massive blood red cloak off as well as his pitch black long sleeved t-shirt and dark red over-shirt. Nurse Heart blushed at the sight of seeing Dante shirtless…
Nurse Heart (thinking): Damn! He looks SO SEXY without his shirt…
Lady intervened and demanded that Nurse Heart continue with her examination… Nurse Heart saw the oversized bite marks were seeping out. She tenderly touched him and the wounds seemed to have healed themselves. Even the pain was gone…
Dante had asked the Nurse to put it towards his growing debt (as if he's ever going to pay it off.) Of course, Lady had to pay his co-pay since he had no money…
Dante made his way back to Pokey Oaks, but school had already ended for the day… Lady never spoke a word to Dante since the trip to the hospital. She glared at him with such vicious eyes. The eyes that Dante had never known. Lady stormed off.
-Townsville Mall-
Ms. Keane had taken Dante into a Macy's store (Dante hated it by the way…) The perfume counter kept spraying Dante and he was getting really pissed off. In fact he pulled out his guns and they ran away at first sight. Ms. Keane came out of the dressing room with clothes she was trying on.. Dante yawned with boredom, not caring what she thought of it.
"Do you like it?" she asked him. "Whatever, get it if ya want it… Not like I'm gonna wear it…" Dante ebbed.
Dante's mind was somewhere else… Nurse Heart had been skulking in the vacant mini sofa (her friend was trying on new clothes.) "I hate clothes shopping…" Nurse Heart muttered. "You ain't the only one sister…" Dante said with boredom.
Nurse Heart had finally noticed Dante. "Oh, it's you…" Nurse Heart smiled as her pheromones started acting up. Dante had no idea that she was flirting with him let alone, in love with him…
"Why the hell are you looking at me like that?" Dante asked as if Inu-Yasha was asking that same question. She blushed, trying not to go completely boy crazy: "Oh, you know…" she started… She bent down to the point where she wanted to kiss him. "I think you're sexy…" Nurse Heart quietly whispered in a sultry voice.
Dante yawned and replied: "You aren't the first girl to say that to me…"
Not working… Better try something else…
Nurse Heart thought trying not to show how completely shy she was feeling. If Lady had seen this, she would have been fuming. Wait, was that what she was so mad at him for…?
Nurse Heart had to excuse herself to the women's restroom. Trying not to cry, she questioned why Dante just couldn't fall in love with her that easily. Of course, she had no idea how much of an asshole Dante could be.
Meanwhile, Ms. Keane had taken Dante to the nearest register to check out.
Dante was mad when he heard how much it cost. "WHO THE HELL SPENDS $200.00 ON CLOTHES?" Dante barked. Ms. Keane paid the clerk and dragged Dante out before he would explode.
-Alcatraz Bar-
Ms. Keane had treated Dante to dinner at Alcatraz Bar, since he was basically flat broke and in debt anyway. "Pizza and a beer. Anything on it except olives." Dante barked at the waitress. "I'll take what he has, except I'll have a Snapple." Ms. Keane asked nicely.
Bar fights we're going on. Dante ignored them seeing as most of them were pointless anyway… Someone got up and went to the jukebox and had Line in the Sand by Motorhead playing.
As the night went on, Ms. Keane and Dante spoke about each other's personal stories…
"-so I beat that damned Anakin within an inch of his freakin' life and he went into hiding for 3 months cause of that!" Dante bragged about how he kicked Anakin's ass in SCAW. Ms. Keane laughed it off. "You don't have to keep referring to me as Ms. Keane, Dante." Ms. Keane told him.
"Humor me if you will, but what name am I to use?" Dante asked as he drank some of his beer. "Rachel." Ms. Keane replied. "Rachel?" Dante asked. "I don't let very many people use my first name too often, you should consider yourself lucky. But only when we're not in class, okay?" Rachel asked.
Just then, they heard an angry scream coming from a woman. "What the hell?" Dante asked. It was Lady and Nurse Heart.
"You evil bitch!" Lady snarled. "Well, I didn't count on falling in love with Dante!" Nurse Heart viciously snapped. "Shut up! SEDUSA!" Lady snapped back as she threw some cold beer on Nurse Heart. The silver hair was nothing more than a wig. And her real hair was like several snakes.
Sedusa and Lady started fighting each other. Dante had fired a round out his gun. The bar went quiet. "If you're gonna fight, I want in on it. Not to mention their's no party music." Dante barked.
Dante made his way to the jukebox and had Duality by Slipknot blaring. "That's much better…" Dante said satisfied.
Dante: LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA BE ONE HELL OF A PARTY!
Dante pulls out his guns and the bar fight continued
The on-lookers cheered for Lady and Dante. Even Rachel was cheering for Dante. It turns out that the men in the bar had fallen victim to Sedusa at one time or another. Even Rachel was a victim to the infamous Sedusa (she stole her previous boyfriend after Ghost Rider left Townsville.) But the fight didn't last to much longer as Sedusa felt something very strange about her shirt.
Sedusa took a long look, not only did her shirt shrink down to just a bra sized shirt but to add insult to injury, her nipples were perking inside her shirt. (She forgot to wear a bra…)
Sedusa screamed in horror and embarrassment and ran away crying as the on-lookers and paying customers laughed. "Should we get the cops?" Dante asked. "No, I think the embarrassment was punishment enough." Lady said with a smile.
Lady: Looks like your off the hook, Dante.
Dante (thoughts): I didn't even know I was in trouble.
Dante: If ya don't mind, I got a date with Rachel.
Dante went back to his table…
Lady (thinking): Who's Rachel?
