Devil May Cry

Dimensions to your world and the next

Chapter 24

Warnings: Language and Violence

*Author's Note: Hmm, I actually don't want to stop putting up chapters, 'cause remember, I'm reading these as I edit, since I haven't read this story before. I wanna keep reading, so, maybe I'll take a break after chapter twenty-five, and then come back later to put up to thirty.

Dante rolled his eyes as he set you gently on the ground. You sighed, adjusting your feet firmly back onto the floor. "I trust you know the way?" you asked him. Dante nodded, smiling his signature grin before grabbing your hand and pulling you down the alleyway. "What if the police spot us?" you questioned the obvious, still hearing the sirens and the growls of the patrol car's engines.

"Don't sweat it, okay? I got it under control," he remarked, surprising you as he laced his fingers with yours. You blushed but nodded your head, following close behind his strides.

"Is Maxis' house close?" you then asked. Dante nodded his head as he stopped at the end of the alleyway. He pushed you behind him, peeking his head out to look down the streets. He brought his head back as a police vehicle drove fast on by, missing the two of you in acknowledgement. You sighed with relief.

"Looks like we need another way out of here," Dante stated dully. You cocked a brow at him.

"And what do you suggest? Jump the roofs?" He glanced at you, impishly grinning. Your eyes widened. "No, Dante, I wasn't being serious," you said pleadingly.

"It's still a good idea," he remarked. You shook your head.

"I'm not a demon, I can't jump that high," you tried to reason.

"Then ya better hold onto me, huh?" he replied.

"But-" Dante ignored you, grabbing you and holding you in his arms. "I really hate you right now," you remarked as he began jumping the walls, trying to reach the roofs. You closed your eyes shut tightly; breaking away from the realization that one slip, and you'd fall. And possibly meet your unruly death. "What's with you and scaring me shitless?" you exclaimed, clinging onto Dante.

"Not my fault you're scared of everything," he remarked. You gritted your teeth together, forgetting his offending statement. Now wasn't the time to argue, you just wanted him to get you to Maxis' place as soon as possible. You could feel the empty air beneath you as Dante jumped over the divisions of the buildings. He ran through the roofs in his demon-like speed, jumping at an amazing height and landing accurately onto the next roof. "How ya holding up, babe?" Dante asked.

"Praying that you don't drop me, but besides that, I'm having a breeze," you answered, your words dripping with sarcasm. You heard Dante letting out a simple laugh before landing on another roof once again. You shook your head at his obvious amusement with your anxiety. Suddenly, you were able to hear a faint sound of blades cutting through air.

How familiar that noise sounded. Something you heard and dreaded whenever playing one of the videogames in the Grand Theft Auto series. The answer to what it was called was on the tip of your tongue. You raided your mind, thinking of what it was, but too frightened to even open your eyes to observe the mystery.

"Heh, helicopter," Dante spoke up, answering the question of which you've been asking.

"That's it! A helicop-WHAT?!" you shouted with disbelief and shot your eyes open. You looked over Dante's shoulder.

Sure enough, a large hunk of metal was gliding through the air, a great light flashing over the two of you in a spotlight.

"The suspects are on foot," you could faintly hear through the rotating blades of the helicopter.

"We're screwed, we are so screwed," you mumbled, again closing your eyes tightly.

"I think it's time I give them the slip," Dante remarked. You slowly opened your eyes, questioning him with your gaze.

You saw the corner of his mouth soon began to tug in a smirk. Oh, no... You looked forward, examining what Dante's plan could be. The edge of the building was soon approaching and it was a long jump to the next one. "Hold on to me, ________, this is gonna be a long fall," he informed. Fall?! You eyes widened with worry as Dante took a large step before jumping over the edge of the building. But he wasn't aiming for the next roof. No, he was aiming for the ground.

You could feel the hard wind brush through your hair, your clothes, and your skin, as you fell through the air in Dante's arms.

"Holy shit!" you cussed, finding it a way to suppress your self from screaming at the top of your lungs. Dante smirked at your reaction. Leisurely, and fearfully you slightly opened your eyes, looking down to the ground only to regret it. You were falling straight down at a police cruiser. The policemen looked up at Dante in complete shock, witnessing something crazy that no human could do. By the force of gravity, you can feel the two of you fall harder down. Dante got ready, still a smirk plastered on his lips as he landed hard on the roof of the vehicle. The echo of breaking glass and metal lingered in the air as he dented hard onto the patrol car's surface. The policemen witnessing this, backed off from the flying glass, eyes equally as wide as yours. After caving in the car, Dante jumped from the roof, bouncing off of it as if it were merely just a trampoline. He landed gracefully onto the cold concrete and broke back into a sprint across the road to another alleyway.

"That was...fucking amazing!" you exclaimed, a shocked smile on your lips as you looked back at the bewildered officers.
