(a/n) - this omake is based off one deus-rasengan2 wrote, (EmiyaClan, pg28 #1378) which introduced Mr. Anthony Redgrave (aka Dante) to the clan. fortunately as a literal guest... as in he doesn't plan to stay and will not be paired with anyone... maybe.

we hope.

Emiya Clan Misc - Devil May Cry

"You have guns."

Dante took a break from demolishing the targets down-range as he turned towards the speaker. Hmm...

Teenage human female: +2

Red hair tied in a cutesy - too cutesy - off-center ponytail: -1

Pretty well built for her age: +5, reminder to check back in a few years

Eyes shining with adoration. Hm.. not ordinarily a bad thing, but it gives her something of a fangirly air: -5

Moderately dressed, long sleeved shirt and shorts. Not a bad color scheme.. +2

Total points: +3

He gave her a winning smile as he turned to face her, spinning Ebony and Ivory in a casual, but complicated series of flips and twirls before he holstered them under his long coat. "I do indeed. The better to protect young, pretty girls like you."

She didn't reply at first. He noticed her eyes tracking the two pistols, which was expected. She didn't, however, return her adoring gaze on his handsome self once they had disappeared. In fact, she seemed to have her eyes glued on where they'd disappeared into their holsters.

Finally she opened her mouth, and Dante mentally prepared himself for the gushing praise most fan girls gave him whenever he sauntered into their lives.

"Paired Colt Em-nineteen-elevens*, heavily modified," she said breathlessly. "Heavily reinforced slides and rails supporting muzzle compensators, suggesting rapid firing; although the increase in barrel length helps keep accuracy high."

Dante blinked.

"The silver one has standard combat sights while the black one has adjustable targeting sights, suggesting the black one is designed for longer-ranged applications than the silver one. The ejection ports on the black one are modified to release the spent casings on the left side, which suggests the two are designed to be used in tandem, if at all. The handgrips are larger than normal, suggesting double-stacked magazine clips."

Her voice trailed off and finally lifted her head to stare directly at him. She blushed slightly and looked away again, shuffling her feet. "Can... can I see them again?"

He stared in disbelief for a few moments, mechanically drawing out his pistols at the request before he could think twice about it. "Um... what did you say your name was?"

"Oh!" she fought to tear her eyes from the weapons and meet his eyes again. "Keiko Emiya, sir." She bowed, then gave in and focused on the pistols in the same wide-eyed adoring gaze she had before. She carefully took them one at a time, cradling Ebony and running her fingers over it lovingly. "So beautiful..." she whispered to herself.

Dante's eye began twitching as she traded the black gun in for Ivory and repeated her actions, this time rubbing her cheek over the pistol. He gulped, his throat suddenly dry.

Suddenly, she lifted her head and raised her voice. "Daddy?"

"No," said a voice from behind him.

Dante spun around to find the Emiya patriarch somehow not two feet away from him, staring at his daughter with furrowed brows. When did he...?

Keiko's voice took on an adolescent wail. "You didn't even let me ask my question!"

"Still no."

"But-"

"No. Now give Mr. Redgrave back his gun and go help out with dinner."

There was a childish grumble entirely at odds with her appearance, but she reverently held out Ivory for Dante to claim again before she spun on her heel and stalked back towards the mansion proper. She gave one last withering glare at her father as she stomped off.

Dante stared after her...

Extremely knowledgeable about firearms, especially given that she'd barely had a few seconds to deduce all that: +5

Fangirly towards my guns: +2

Not at all fangirly towards me. That's a bit off-putting...: -2

Total Points: +8...

He was mentally rubbing his hands together when the sound of a throat clearing caught his attention. He turned to face an annoyed Shirou who was staring back at him with narrowed eyes.

"She's taken," his friend warned him. He very carefully did not mention by whom... That would have been a conversation on its own.

Dante raised his hands defensively. "It never even crossed my mind," he said airily.

Overprotective father who can fight me to a standstill if pissed off about his daughter: -10

Total Points: -2

Dante smiled to himself and made a mental note to drop by for a visit in a few years...

(a/n continued) - *M1911s, pistols Ebony and Ivory were based off

this omake resulted in an interesting nugget on the forums. given that Shirou possesses Kanshou and Bakuya, his own set of black and silver weapons, Keiko's creator jumped at the chance that she would absorb and be able to reproduce Ebony and Ivory. this spawned a minor continuity thing where the creators of the Clan started picking out paired black & white weapons for their own creations.

don't be surprised if some future omake has B&W weaponry become a calling card for the Clan...

on another note, Keiko's childish tantrum at being denied... something... by her father when faced with impossibly cool weapons also inspired this fanart...
