Dante's head snapped up at the sound of Lady's voice and he instantly stopped pacing once the question sunk in. The thought of Lady inviting him into the shower after having played hard to get and seducing him over the sink briefly flashed across his mind before he chided himself for such foolishness. Lady wasn't like that; she simply was in such a hurry to get in the shower earlier, she actually forgot to ask Dante for a towel before hand. Still... he would might be able to catch a peek at the price of recieving a bullet in the forehead again.
Wearing a cocky grin as if he knew the fantasy was really gonna happen rather than the truth, Dante stopped at the hall closet to grab up a towel and then closed in on his target. He walked with an arrogant gait and stopped at the opposite side of the door frame from where Lady's poked out. Leaning up against said doorframe, he dangled the towel just out of reach before her and mockingly beckoned her with the other hand.

Lady stuck her arm out further to grab for the towel. She growled when Dante pulled it further away from her, no doubt to try and get a peek at her. She gave another attempt at reach for the towel.
Lady gave another annoyed growl when he yanked it back again. She huffed and reached for it a final time but again he pulled back, causing her to stumble out of the bathroom cold, wet and naked and run straight into him.
She blushed furiously and blinked a moment then grabed the towel from him and wrapped it around herself quick, "You pervert!" she screamed with a harsh slap across his cheek then stormed back into the bathroom and slammed the door.

Dante rubbed his cheek with a forlorn look given to the door, then suddenly changed into a grinning baboon. "Ahh... my work is done for the day."
Shaking his head and moving back into the main office, Dante sat down at his desk and propped his feet up. A few moments later he had dozed off a bit when the phone decided to ring loudly in his ears. Yanking the thing off its base, he placed it to his ear and said the costumary greeting "Devil May Cry."
After a few minutes listening to the phone, Dante set it back down. "Ch..." He looked at the back door waiting for Lady to arrive and ask him what was up.

Lady walked out shortly after, fully dress and still drying her black hair with the towel. She sighed, while inwardly smirking. She knew if she apologized for her actions she would make him feel bad for what he did. "I'm sorry I shot you and slapped you... and threw the soap at your head..." she stated apologetically.
She set the towel down on the back of a nearby chair and sat in it. "So what was that call about?" she asked out of curiosity.

Dante sighed at Lady's apology, nodded in acknowledgement, but decided to put the guilt trip to the side. He didn't have time for it right now, even though her plan had worked. Instead the hunter concentrated on her question and how best to answer it. With a bit of forethought, he actually managed to sound professional.
"Well, it seems your demoness friend is still out on the prowl. She just about put another woman in her grave except that her husband came home before the demoness finished her little spell, or whatever it is. Anyway, the guy says everything seems to be fine now so we have two choices: either hope she's done for the night and pick up her trail in the morning, or head out there now and make sure she's not in the neighborhood anymore. It's about a 50/50 chance... we could find and kill her now or just wear ourselves out even more because she's already gone. I'll let you decide."

Lady sighed. She didnt know what to do. She didnt want more people to suffer but the chances they would be going on a wild goose chase was high. Let alone the fact she was still fatigued. But she couldn't let more people die. She was stuck. Lady did not know what to do.
She raised her eyes to Dante, slightly saddened. "We can't do anything. We might as well rest up." frowns and looks away, feeling really bad.
Lady walked to the couch and sat down, hiding her face in her hands. "It's all my fault. If I had just tried harder to kill that demon, I wouldnt be in this mess." she thought sadly.

Dante hesitated, got up reluctantly, and walked over to Lady with a timid hand stretched out towards her. He shifted uncomfortably in the confrontation with such emotion, then abruptly sat down next to Lady. Carefully, gently, he placed his hand on her shoulder in a poor attempt at comfort.
"Hey, now... it's not like this is your fault or something. Demons... are just evil like that and sometimes there's nothing anyone can do about it. Besides..." He gave a lopsided smile. "Don't you start crying on me now, Lady. You're too tough for something like that."

Lady sighed and looked into Dantes blue eyes and offered a week smile. "Yeah... demons are evil." she stated.
She then leaned into him a little with a soft smile, feeling better now that he had comforted her. "He is nice when he tries..." she admitted in her mind.
Lady then caught herself looking down in between his legs briefly before looking away, hoping Dante didnt notice. "Atleast your not evil." she stated softly.

Dante raised a curious brow at Lady's quick glance before putting his customary smirk back on his face. He leaned back further into the couch, bringing Lady with him, and sneaked an arm around her shoulders to rub her opposite arm up and down in a comforting gesture.
"Yea... I'm not evil, but you're playing with one of the seven deadly sins yourself right now..." Upon the last stroke he carefully made sure his hand happened to rub up against something else too. "But I have no problem with that..."

Lady blinked then blushed wildly. She sat there quiet for a moment, wondering if his hand brushing against her was an accident or not. She soon decided to let it slide and looked at him questioningly, "Oh? Which sin is that?" she asked. "Because I can name a few that you indulge in." she continued with a devious smirk.

Dante returned the smirk with one of his own classical ones and met her eye for eye. His blue orbs shined with mischief at her words and he responded with amusement lacing his voice. "Oh, I can think of a few myself... Quite frankly, I love them. Vainity would be my worst." He said this last sentence with a wink.
"But your sin, babe? That would be the pirmal sin everyone succumbs to eventually. Lust." He leaned forward, his eyes holding her own in place as his lips neared her own. Closer and closer, inching his way to claiming the sweet red lips of dearest Lady.
But at the last moment he turned his face away and brought his lips close to her ear. "But ya know, Lady... I'll be damned if that human conscience that keeps me from being evil also keeps me from indulging myself at certain times." That said, he pulled back and gave a shrug. A positively evil smirk began to spread across his face as he smoothly stood up and then walked away.

Lady stared at Dante, her teeth clenched in anger. How dare he do that to her. She was going to make him pay and pay dearly for toying with her emotions like that. A faint smirk spread across her face as the demon-hunter started away from her. But as soon as the smirk appeared on her face it vanished to hide her delight at her thought.
She would toy with his emotions in ways he never thought she could or even would. Then when he was baffled and confused, she would take him down. Lady rolled her eyes knowing it wouldnt take long to confuse Dante.
Lady sat watching the half-devil, "he wants to play? Well game on!" she thought to herself, a ghost of a smirk appeared across her lips for a quick second before fading. She knew dante wouldnt know what had hit him.

Dante walked until he was at the door leading to the back area where his living quarters were carefully tucked. Pausing, he spun on his heel to face her. For a moment the silly grin was in place, but his expression quickly sombered, almost too fastly passing to even be noticed. Now suddenly back into the disposition he was at the beginning of this expidition, the moody bastard spoke to Lady calmly and in a quiet voice unusual to him.
"We should get some rest before the morning. I want to get an early start on hunting this creep down; do a little research on her before going for the kill. Not to mention some demons are weaker in the daytime. And here you thought that was something only inherent to vampires..." The half-assed joke just didn't have the same kick when said in such a dull manner, eluding to Dante's new personality for worse.
"We could be lucky and that be the case... of course we have to find her first, and the earlier the waking the better chance of that happening. Anyway, the couch isn't so bad if you think you can handle it. There's a blanket around behind it. If you need me or want to steal my bed, I'll be in my room back here. First door on the right. Sleep tight." Once the monotone "speech" was finished, he walked through the door before waiting for a reply.

Lady just watched stunned after he left the room. She couldnt believe how quickly his mood changed from cheerful to painfully somber and moody. She almost didnt feel like toying with his emotions anymore.
She frowned in thought. She couldn't even fathom what could have caused Dante's serious mood to appear. Let alone for him to have one. Lady knew she would eventually have to ask him how he came about getting this mood. But for now she needed to sleep.
Lady reached around and picked up the blanket from behind the sofa then lay down and covered up and fell asleep quickly, finally getting good rest for the first time in a few days.

Morning time stole up quickly on the two devil hunters and after what only seemed like five minutes of sleep, Dante woke up startled. His eyes simply flashed open as his body stiffened and his knuckles went white from the force he applied in making a fist. A moment later and one deep breath after another, he finally relaxed into a calm demeanor.
After composing himself and taking five minutes to fully relax, almost falling back alseep in the process with half lidded eyes, he swung his legs over the side of the bed and stood up agilely. With swift, fluid movements only a supernatural being could possess, he gathered a few things from around his messy room and then walked out.
Several more minutes later the running shower water stopped and Dante emerged quickly from the bathroom with a towel over his head and fully clothed in pristine manner wearing a new, red outift that vaguely looked like a cross between his three favorite ones. Drying his hair roughly with the towel, he walked out into the main foyer and over to the couch. Gently, he prodded Lady with a booted foot. "Hey. Wakey, wakey, sunshine. Time get a movin'."
Dante glanced out the small window off to the side. Lovely view of the small alleyway between the buildings, but it was enough for Dante to be able to tell that it was somewhere around 5-6 o'clock depending on which time setting the world was in; he never kept up with that stuff. Glancing back down at Lady he smirked, breifly wondering if she had ever gotten up this early on her own before. It was more likely than it seemed for him, but he wasn't certain. As it was he watched her moan and curl up into a tighter ball beneath the blanket. Shaking his head, he prodded her once again. "Yo. Sometime today, sweetie."
