Three out of three, now to write the next chapter! It'll probably take a couple of days, two weeks, tops. So, Katelyn Shawn and Keeley aren't going to make an appearance in this chapter, but they're definitely mentioned.

Don't own anyone aside from Kate, Shawn, and Keeley, so don't sue.

Welcome to Hell~I mean Fortuna!

Chapter Six-Aside

It was about eight a.m. when Lady reached her destination. There wasn't much to look at from the outside, the only noteworthy feature being the neon sign above the door: Devil May Cry. Walking up to the large, elegant doors and finding them unlocked made Lady smirk. Her friend was in. Likely asleep, as he usually was at this hour. She opened the door and there he was, sitting with his legs propped up on his desk and a magazine covering his face. Today's selection: Twin Guns. As the door closed behind her, the magazine twitched.

"If you don't have a job for me, then get the fuck out." The person under it said. Lady scoffed, a muffled threat was an ineffective threat after all, and walked over to him.

"Hello to you too, Dante." She teased. Dante sighed heavily and removed the magazine from his face, pale blue eyes narrowing at the woman.

"In case you've forgotten, you took all my money yesterday. So what the Hell do you want?" he asked tiredly. Lady's reply was a simple one.

"The car." He blinked at her, knowing she took her beloved bike almost everywhere. She sighed, knowing that further explanation was necessary for the younger son of Sparda. "You know that job I was on, the one in Fortuna? Well, I hit a bit of a snag and was going to call it a day, but then I saw these three teenagers getting attacked by Scarecrows." Dante looked at her quizzically.

"I take it these three aren't your run-of-the-mill idiot teens, then?" he asked. Lady shook her head, leaning forward on the desk.

"All three of them admitted that this wasn't the first time they were attacked by a demon. Not only that, they have powers. From what they've told me, these powers appeared only yesterday." Dante looked at her in confusion.

"Powers as in demonic powers, or powers as in X-Men superpowers?" Lady scowled at him.

"Neither. But the point is that these three need someplace to train safely, someplace demons would think twice about following them to." She said. The red-clad Devil Hunter crossed his arms.

"By which you mean here. I might be willing to help, but I know there's something you're not telling me Lady." He said evenly. In all honesty, he'd have to meet these kids and see for himself in order for him to decide if he wanted to let them stay with him to train. Otherwise he'd have Morrison find someplace for them. Sighing again, Lady ran a hand through her short black hair.

"There's a ghost with them." She began reluctantly. "Can't see it, but I know it's there. I wasn't going to say anything because I'm not one hundred percent certain of it myself…but I think that ghost is Vergil's." This caught Dante's attention.

"What? That doesn't make any sense…why would he?" Lady bit her lip and looked to the side. "There's more. Odds are that at least one of them knows of its presence, maybe even see it. He stayed close to one of the three in particular." Dante caught on to what Lady was thinking.

"You think that one may be a medium, then?" She nodded. "It would make sense." He ran a hand through his silver hair.

"If that is the case, she may be in serious danger and not even realize it." She continued, worried. He sighed heavily.

"Yeah, wouldn't be the first time someone was in her shoes. It's going to be a lot worse for her if you're right and that spirit turns out to be Vergil. I'm guessing she's friends with the other two? They'll be just as far up shit creek without a paddle as she is simply for being associated with her." Grumbling to himself, he opened one of the desk's drawers and fished out a set of keys. Tossing them to Lady he sighed.

"All right, Lady. Bring 'em here and we'll try to figure this shit out." Lady smiled as she caught the keys to Dante's fiery red convertible and smiled.

"Thanks, Dante. "I'll make sure to bring it back with a full tank."

I don't think I got the relationship between Dante and Lady quite right. I see them like Nero and Kyrie, minus the "lover" part. They may have been friends with benefits, but I'll have to figure that out later. Pulling from all sorts of misc. fandoms and stuff with these OCs; Kate's powers are magic-based, Keeley's are Psychic-based, and Shawn's are based in Alchemy. Well, mostly. Seeing as their powers recently manifested, it's going to draw the attention of demons that will in turn seek them out. Kind of an animal instinct thing there, I guess. Kill the nestlings before they have the chance to become an actual threat.

Hope you guys enjoyed, please review!
