Zero woke up to someone pouring strange liquid down his throat. The taste was very disgusting, as if someone put blood and raw meat on a blender. The nasty taste of salt and copper should have made him barf, but strangely as soon as the liquid reached his stomach, it left a very refreshing effect and even getting rid of his thirst and hunger. When he slowly opened his eye, he saw the same white-haired guy, who was holding a greenish star like stuff which had a very nasty humanoid face. The top arm of the thingy was broken off and some thick greenish liquid could be seen from there, which smelt nasty. Apparently the guy was feeding him this liquid for some reason. YACK! EwWW! Eww!

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Zero screamed while sitting up quickly and started gagging.

"WHAT ON EARTH YOU ARE FEEDING ME OLD MAN? THAT SHIT WAS NASTY!",adding to Zero's horror and irritation, the strange guy started laughing.

"Man I have seen many reaction of other people, but yours lad, is the funniest I tell you. However, be glad that this is only the medium size, the largest one has more fluid which you needed but sadly, didn't have it with me. Now go ahead drink all of it yourself."

"I'm not drinking this shit old man, hell I don't even know you, why the fuck I will drink stuff from strangers huh?!"

"My name kid,is Dante, Dante Sparda, and that thing is called, Vital Star, which is hard to get and very expensive in market. Therefor I will not let it go to waste because of your childishness. If you don't drink it like a good boy, I will shove it down your throat if I have to. Now drink up."

"Buuut but.." Zero protested.

"And I will not answer any of your question until you finish drinking the medicine."

"..."

"Are you going to be a good boy now?"

"..fine old man, but you have a lot of explaining to do after I'm finished." With a deep breath, Zero gulped down the nasty stuff.

After drinking the nasty stuff,Zero finally took a look at his surroundings. Apparently he was siting on a queen size bed of a fairly expensive hotel room. The stranger was sitting opposite of him (the bastard had to made sure he drank every drop of the vile stuff, he is forever traumatized thanks to him!), and Zero noticed that he was no longer wearing the jacket as it was laying lazily on the couch. He was wearing a black undershirt with lots of belts,the sleeves of the shirt were pulled halfway. Zero could guess he was very buffed just by looking at those arms and faint lines of abs from his shirt.

"So who are you? and why did you brought me here?" Zero asked while trying to forget the revolting after taste of the gut juice or medicine or whatever the fuck it was.

" I already told you kid, I'm Dante and I brought you here because duh, you fainted." The guy called Dante grinned.

"But you don't even know me! why would you even bother taking me to your room and feed me your so-called expensive medicine? why not sending me to a random hospital and be done with me? I just don't get it!".

"Because you reminded me of someone", Dante said with a neutral tone. "Beside, what a puny little punk like you can do to me? I can take down your ass anytime!", he smirked and flicked Zero's forehead.

Irritated,Zero shouted, "Oh yah? I can take down an old bag like you anytime!"

"Oh yah?" Dante said raising his eye brows, "Well trying getting me kid!"

And of course Zero did, he quickly jumped on the guy, but unfortunately he forgot that he was still weak and felt dizzy by sudden movement which resulted him to fall on top of Dante.. again, with a "omfp". Adding to more Zero's humiliation, Dante threw Zero back on to the bed like he weighted nothing more than a twig. Right now Zero would do anything to wipe out that stupid grin from that face.

"You calmed down now kid?"

"Shut up you bastard!"

"Hmm", Dante hummed while scratching his stubble filled cheek,"I think I should feed you more of Vital Star, you still fill weak", he was obviously threatening Zero.

"Fuck NO!"

"Hmm where did I put the largest one again?", Dante said completely ignoring Zero's outburst, on purpose of course.

"No I feel fine,...please..", Zero finally begged Dante, saying the magical word. Dante smirked at Zero for his obvious victory. "Are you going to behave now lad?"

"..."

"Well kid?"

"Fine!", Zero scoffed, not pouted of course, he scoffed. Zero never pout, NEVER!

"Very well then, you hungry? I bet you didn't get to eat all day."

"I'm not hungry", but of course Zero's body betrayed him again and made rumbling noise,which made him unwillingly blush. Dante laughed at the kids antics. "I'm ordering pizza, if that is ok with you, on my house of course!"

"Pizza is fine", Zero mumbled.

"Atta boy!"

He gorged down on the pizza hungrily,can you really blame him? he didn't eat anything other than a grilled cheese as a breakfast. Dante was nibbling on a strawberry sundae, living Zero half of the pizza to eat, and man it was a meat lover style, his all time favorite. How can Dante abandon a this tasty heaven for a cup of ice-cream?

"Dante? why are you not having any pizza's?"

"Because I'm not that hungry, I ordered it mainly for you", Dante said while finishing his ice-cream and laying down on the big couch using his arms as pillows.

This was all crazy and confusing Zero. Why this strange man was helping him like that? He took him to his hotel room, took care of him when he was unconscious, gave him a medicine which not only healed him, but took care of his blood lust too. Zero could already guess that thing cost a fortune. Now he was even treating him to dinner. Whats up with the guy? So Zero decided he had enough of Dante's hospitality and he really should leave.

"Umm thanks for everything Dante..I think I really should leave. My motel has my stuff and really need to grab those before they throws it away..."

"You don't have to leave kid, your stuff is here", Dante said surprising Zero.

"What? how...?

"Did those while your were napping,you should really thank me kid, they were about to throw your stuff,and yes I did sort of stalked you".

"...", Zero was speechless until he spoke up.

"I don't understand."

"Understand what kid?"

"You, why would you help me like that?You don't even know me,yet you stalked me, brought me to your place, fed me. Just why?

"I told you, kid you remind-"

"WHY?", Shouted Zero."Just tell me honestly what do you want from me!"

"Because I need your help with a case of mine."

"...", look if you are a part of HA, I tell you that go look for someone else for help, because I cut ties with anything related to them."

"HA what?"

"Hunter Association", Zero said mockingly. Damn he was so pissed.

"Let me tell you something kid, Never compare me with those weak hunter wannabes," said Dante smirking,"I need your help to fight real Demons."

"THE HELL!"

Hi people. Sorry for late update, but I had to think of ways about how Dante and Zero with interact. I know it sucks, and I know my grammar would be terrible as always. But please hang in there. T^T. I'm sorry, I don't think Dante would be the type of a person who could be all fatherly in one glance. This two needs steps that would bring them together. So yes it will take time for them to really care about each other.

Oh and someone asked me if Dante and Zero gonna have sex.

Um... Did you read my summery? would you sleep with your dad? eww...! Some of you yaoi fans are just... *face- palm*.

Omake:

Zero and Nero were on the roof of the Cross academy, staring at the night class dorm windows where everything could be seen.

Nero: The fuck, I can't believe you were right.

Zero: Told ya! Zero said with disgust in his voice.

Nero: Man this breaks so many family codes, aren't they related?

Zero: Grandpa actually...

Nero: EWWW!That's even more disgusting...

Zero and Nero barfed right there when Takuma came inside is grandpa while he was moaning "Goosh Goosh Goosh".
