Devil May Cry: Here Goes Nothing - Info

I had been avoiding Dante as much as i could in the little time we had left before we went to babysit Little Miss Garrison, I mean, put it this way, what he said was the nicest thing anyone has said to me in a long long long time, and it damm well freaked me out...

But i couldn't avoid him any longer as we now began to make our way back to Garrison Towers to begin our "mission" as it were, what joyus fun this was going to be and i still couldn't shake the big time wiggins i got whenever we got near the place, no amount of trash talking from Demon Boy is going to make it go away, my mind is REALLY trying to tell me something, i just wish it would hurry the crap up and be more specific.

Dante threw the last few bits of our kit (yes we have a kit now, i kid you not) and pushed down the boot of the car, walking over and getting in the drivers seat, i glanced his way briefly and a pang (albeit a small one) of guilt shot through me, id given him no explanation as to where ive been avioding him liek the plague and now where about to be thrown into god knows what, with a heavy heart i turned to him before he could start the car.

"Dante listen.." i gently placed my hand on the steering wheel.

His grey eyes immediatly met my green ones, he said nothing, which was slightly worrying.

"I'm sorry that i've been acting so weird, and i would love to tell you why because i do have my reasons, but we're about to go off into the unknown, and i can't shake this bad feeling im having....basically what im trying to say is i think we should be careful, i mean, bad things....they have a tendancy to follow me around" I looked up at him expectantly.

"You and me both babe" The smirk was back. Good. "And if you want to tell what is bothering you thats fine, its fine if you dont too, but i can tell you now, hand on my little demon heart, that nothing bad is going to happen." He turned of the ignition and pulled out onto the road.

"Okay if you say so, but my instincts are extremely accurate, never failed me before, there will be an i-told-you-so-moment Dante, and god hoping that moment isnt one of my impending death, im gonna enjoy every minute of it" I smiled, feeling everything slowly slip back to normal between us.

"Whatever you say babe." he mumbled.

*********************

Soon we were back at the scene of the crime, as it were, the Garrison mansion, in all its faux gothic glory, Dante and I made our way up the steps and were soon ushered once again into the grand library.

"Master Garrison has already left for his trip, he had hoped you would arrive earlier so he could speak with you before he left, Alicica is upstairs, i shall bring her down in a moment." My good old pal the bulter sniffed before turning on his heels and out the door.

"Ooooohhh i bet Allicias going to be SO glad to see you again Dante..." I smiled sweetly at him.

"Hey what can i say, the chicks dig me, i appeal to all age groups" He smiled

"Please excuse me while i fight back my gag relfex" I made gagging noises inbetween fits of laughter as Dante shot me a pointed look.

Yet again just as Dante was about to formulate and ever so witty comeback, Old Jeeves re-entered with Allicia in tow, today she was dressed in a pale yellow summer dress with white ballet pumps and matching cardigan, she couldn't be anymore cutsey if he tried, at the sight of Dante she began to blush.

"You better watch out" I leaned in and whispered to him "The way its going you may end up heir to the Garrison empire" i chuckled

Dante shot me yet another of his looks.

"I will leave you all now to get to know eachother, Master Garrison has given you free reign of the grounds but asks that you stay within them for the time being." Jeeves tottered off to go polish a lamp or something.

"How noble of him" Dante snorted and slumped down on a nearby chair.

"Hello Allicia, good to see you again." I made my way towards her, i was at least going to try and be nice, and just sit on my demon arse.

"Hello" she said in a voice so quiet i could barely hear her.

"Bet this all must be a bit daunting huh? Being babysit by two fantastically dressed weirdos!" I smiled dowm at her, she was a good few inches shorter than me.

"I wouldnt call you weirdos ..." she trailed off glancing in Dantes direction who was at that moment finding the ceiling awfully interesting.

"Well thats good to know...."i began, but then it hit me, and im pretty sure Dante felt it too because his whole body went stiff, the big bad feeling was now like a drumming in my ears, something was not right.

Seconds later my fears were confirmed as huge metal shutters came down over the large windows in the library plunging us all into darkness.

Allicia grabbed my arm "Whats happeneing?? Whats going on??" again her voice no louder than a whisper.

"Thats what i'd like to know" Dante was now at my side, standing close to my back.

The door, which had been ajar slammed shut and a large click was heard as it locked itself.

"Oh Boy..." I gulped "I think i feel an i-told-you-so coming on."
