Lady stayed back behind Dante but took Kalina Ann of her back and held it at ready, prepared for any attack that might be thrown at them. Even if she knew this demon was too quick for her.
She cursed herself inwardly, if only she were a teen again she might have been able to take this creature down without begging for help. Though, something was off. Every time the she-demon went for her and touched her, Lady felt weaker like her energy was being sucked away.
She widened her eyes a little and snapper her head to the side seeing movement out of the corner of her eye. Lady swung her rocket launcher around and fired at the spot causing the parking lot to brighten a moment from the flash of the rocket, hitting the ground. Lady sneered in anger at the darkness around her, knowing she had missed.
Her bi-colored eyes widened moments later as she felt something graze up against her back. She turned and pulled out a pistol from her side and fired several times into the dark, hitting nothing but a metal dumpster. “Shit…”

Dante didn't turn back at the sound of Lady's fight, but merely cocked his head back in her direction. Watching from over his shoulder, his eyes flashed from side to side as he kept his gaze steadfastly on the darting enemy. It was definitely quick. Dante narrowed his eyes as he watched the demon get close to Lady several times yet never do more than touch the girl. He briefly wondered why the creature didn't go for the kill, as it so easily could, before he was in motion.
Grabbing Ebony and Ivory at the same time he spun around, Dante began firing quick, concise shots at the demon. His speed quicker than Lady's and aim true, he smirked truimphantly when he heard the annoyed hiss of hit demon. Dante dashed forward, putting away his guns and swinging Alastor off his back, ready to face his opponent. He stabbed straight forward... and growled when his sword niched the brick wall in front of him and scraped upwards and away as he recovered.
Eyeing the grinning demon (demoness!), Dante reversed his sword's angle and slashed downward diagonally at her. The demoness wasn't as quick this time around and her grin fell into a frown as she leapt away with a bleeding shoulder. Thinking quickly, Dante opted for a long range follow through. He swung Alastor out in an arch and let it fly in it's boomarang mockery of an attack, whipping out E&I once more as the demoness dodged the blade nimbly. Not counting on Dante's fired shots to lead her back into the sword's return path, she jumped away from the bullets and found herself on the ground from the force of the blade.
Dante grabbed Alastor as it returned to him and swiftly rushed the recovering demoness while she was still down on the ground. She scrambled to the side just in time as the blade came down with a ringing thud where she lay sprawled seconds before. Dante stared at her from his last position as she reached out to grab his shoulder before he brought Alastor back up.
Dante's eyes narrowed as he felt the demoness try to exert some sort of power over him and the she-devil gasped as the ability failed her. Hissing at the half-demon, she brought her other hand up to scratch at his face. He swung Alastor up defensively and backed away, unwillingly giving her the time she needed to get away.
Dante watched the demoness make for Lady as he prepared to fire E&I once more, but as soon as the creature realized that Lady's deadaim would hit her before she could close in, the demoness changed direction and ran away. "Damn, she got away." Twirling his precious pistols a few times on his fingers, Dante put his weapons away a bit reluctantly as he walked over to Lady. "You alright?"

All Lady could do is try her best to aim her guns around, turning in a circle looking out for where the demon could be.
Every so often she would feel a brush of fingers on her back, arms or neck. And each time she slowly felt weaker, almost to the point of dizziness and blacking out.
Thankfully Dante started his ruthless attack on the enemy before she blacked out. All she could do was stand there, guns at ready.
Lady watched as he shot relentlessly at the mysterious demon, a determined look on his face. Shortly after he pulled out a sword she had never seen him use before and swing it out like a boomerang into the darkness. This caused her heart to skip a beat. Dante was still as strong as she remembers him. No doubt due to demon blood.
After a short while her attention was drawn back to the demon-ess whom was charging her. Lady brought her guns up and aimed them right at her head.
When Dante had aimed his guns at the she-devil along with Lady, it turned and escaped.
Lady looked at Dante, while trying to mask her heavy breathing, “I’m fine, just feel a little drained…” she replied, while trying to get a firm hold on the ground below her.

Dante nodded and went into a thoughtful silence, a furrowed brow and frown accenting his pensive face. Glancing at Lady and then down to his on shoulder, Dante cocked his head as if listening to something then nodded as if he agreed. Conclusion found, he finally spoke what was on his mind. "You know, it's a bit wierd that you're worn out and I'm not. Even if I have the endurance of a demon and you don't, you never really did anything worthy of short breath or weariness. Don't you find that a little odd?"
He didn't wait for her to reply, but after a seconds worth of pause he continued on as his hand waved idly. "When that demon touched me I felt it trying to preform some sort of energy spell or inate ability. But it was surprised when something didn't happen right; I could tell by her reaction and lack of anything bad happening to me. So... maybe each time she touched you, this... whatever it is... happened?" He grinned and shrugged, completely aware of the fact that he just spoke more than he generally ever did in the amount of time of an hour much less two miniutes... unless of course he was trying to hit on a girl.

Lady nodded, agreeing to his question and went into deep thought after he finished. After a while she turned and slowly started out of the parking lot, to make sure Dante was following behind her. After a few minutes she paused and turned to Dante, “I got it.” She exclaimed. “What ever she did to me only works on humans! It’s so obvious!”
She loved it when she could show off her intelligence. Though as far as that went she couldn’t think of any other reason as to what caused her to be tired so quickly in battle, “But, as far as me being tired, I think it’s because I haven’t slept in a few days. I have been running from that demon.” She paused after that sentence and frowned.
Lady shouldn’t have admitted that. If it was anyone besides Dante she could have been dead by now. She sighed and looked at the demon hunter for his opinion.

Dante didn't seem to notice Lady's concern for her slip of the tongue or the slip at all. His eyes were turned towards Lady but he wasn't looking at her. Rather, his sight was focused inwards as he slowly thought about the situation. Shaking his head slowly, Dante came back around and peered at Lady curiously. "What? Who? When, where? Oh, yea... that."
The red coated hunter nodded absently as he brought a hand up to rub his chin. "I think you're probably right. Whatever the demon's special ability is, it has to do with humans only. Me having 'blue blood' and all, gave her a run for her money when she tried to use it on me."
Dante looked Lady up and down with a scrutinizing eye. "Yea, you look like you haven't bathed in quite a while either..." The half-devil grinned with boyish annoyance.

Lady rolled her eyes and sighed with a slight annoyance at his remark on her current appearance, "As I said. I have been on the run for a few days. I obviously pissed this demon off alot to have her chase me." she elaberated.
Lady knew her best chance of survival at this point was to stay near the half-demon. She knew he had a strong affinity for women and would not let a girl die or get hurt.
She let out a exaspirated sigh and dropped her shoulders in defeat. For now she just had to give up her pride to live, "Do you mind if I stay on your couch? I really need rest." she asked then wrinkled her nose, "And a shower..." she inwardly cringed at the possibility of him teasing her.

His grin widened at the mere thought of Lady being his shower. His mind was definitely up for the change of pace Lady provided him right now; Dante was sick of thinking about his last major job.
"Hell, Lady. Of course you can take a shower with me... but are you sure you don't wanna 'SLEEP' first and then take a shower to wash away the... ahh... sweat?" Dante sidesteps away from his already unamused friend, anticipating the blow or whatever revenge awaits him.

Lady blushed furiously then narrowed her eyes at him. She knew something like this was coming but she didn't want to hear him say it. She pulled out her pistol and shot him in the center of the forehead. "That, is not what I meant you... you... pervert!" she growled out.
She couldn't believe him. Just the thought of him in the shower with her, his hands traveling all over her naked body. She shook her head to dismiss the steamy image from her mind and blushed furiously. "I meant to shower alone!" she explained.
But Lady couldn't dismiss the fact he was a very atractive man. Half-devil or not. He was definately handsome. Though she would never admit that to him.

Dante flinched back and rubbed his forehead gingerly. Keeping in step with Lady, he watched the bullet drop to the ground with a light 'chink' sound and then stared at the small amount of blood on his fingers. He licked it idly before realizing that Lady probably didn't approve of such clean-up methods. Grinning sheepishly, he wiped the rest off on his pants.
Rounding the last corner and walking up to his shop, he opened the door politely for Lady to go through. As she did so, Dante couldn't help to make another childish remark. "I should've never forgotten my first rule of dating: never date a chick who shoots you in the head."
Showing Lady to the bathroom, he quickly finishes his thought with another hopeless smirk. "But it's too bad... at least you would have known you'd be able to fall asleep tonight." He added a sly wink before Lady could slam the door in his face.

Lady let out a long sigh and undressed from her filthy clothes. She walked to the shower and opened the curtain. She took several mistrials to get the water setting right and waited until the water turned to a scalding hot temperature and stepped in.
She closed the clear plastic curtain and stepped into the hot stream of water. She closed her eyes and lifted her head up into it and sighed again, "Why does he have to be so damn good looking and be a demon." she mummbled to herself.
Lady then began looking around for a bar of soap until she found a small sliver caked to the corner soap holder. She plucked it off and idly began washing herself.

Dante stared at the door for a few moments as he listened to the water. Then, shaking his head, he walked back into the main room of the shop deciding he probably needed to focus on business and not a showering lady. Dante eyed his desk and the half open pizza box sitting casually on top. With a shrug, the hunter snatched the last piece and stuffed it down his throat.
For a while Dante managed to sit idly at his desk, attempting to think about the job, the demon, the special ability, anything but the sound of running water coming from the back. His mind wandered too often however, and eventually he got up and, with his lips pursed in thought, walked to the door of the bathroom. She'll kill me...
But the thought didn't stop him from slowly turning the doorknob and entering the bathroom. In his mind, he kept the excuse of brushing his teeth free of the days old pizza he just ate, but in a dark corner he knew that was all it was: an excuse.
So he stood there gawking at the dark form behind the curtain, one hand reached out in a forgotten attempt to grab his toothbrush as a sly smirk spread across his lips.

Lady heard the door open then turned to see Dante, hand reached out towards a toothbrush and his eyes taking in her naked form. Her face grew from shock to surprise then to anger. "You disgusting pervert!" she screamed.
She growled then stuck her hand out from behind the curtain and threw the cake of soap at his head. "Get out!" she hollered angrily.
Lady quickly turned her back to him to hide herself from his eyes. "Now unless you want another bullet in your head!"

Dante grinned sheepishly, ducked underneath the sliver of soap, and grabbed up his toothbrush. "Sorry, babe. Just needed a quick brush and got distracted in the process."
He slinked out of the bathroom with toothbrush in hand and started to close the door. Briefly, his head stuck back inside. "Well, at least I liked what little I saw." And with another dopey grin plastered on his face he ducked back outside before Lady could find something else to throw at him.
Sighing, mellowing almost instantly, Dante turned towards the kitchen and only realized too late that he had forgotten his tooth paste in the bathroom with Lady. Softly cursing, he flung down his useless brush and gave up while he was ahead. He began to pace around as he waited for Lady to finish up and tried to think of something else to do.

Lady finally turned the water off and got out of the shower. She searched the bathroom for a towel for ten minutes cursing herself. She knew she now had to ask for a towel. And she could just hear Dante's perverted remarks while handing her one.
She sighed then opened the door a crack and poked her head out, "Dante do you have a towel?" she asked, closing her eyes.
