Happy death day: Dante’s ver. Pt.2
Summary: R/n the love of Dante's life is dead... killed saving a kid from getting hit by a truck by taking the hit instead, what a shitty thing to come home to...Right? So, how the hell is his dead girlfriend sitting in a diner booth across from him, talking to a old man, a hippie, and a mail woman? and how come no one else can recognize her?
R/n was woken up by Nate with a pair pliers digging into her head as two Gravelings [ the gremlin demons] held her down, she felt him trying to pry something out of her skull, she hissed in pain as Nate smirked finally grabbed and pulled whatever was stuck in her head free. "Ah-ha! Got'cha ya wee little bastard!" He cheered victoriously showing her it was bullet.
R/n stared at it dazed and confused where’d that came from? then she remember Dante... That jackass! Who fuck shoots someone without asking 'what the hell is gong on?' first?! The y/ht reaper groaned feeling the hole in her head closing and healing at rapid pace; that always feels weird... but then her logical side caught up to her.
How did...How did Dante recognize her? The others explained that the living shouldn't be able to recognize her at all because she like every Grim had like some reaper glamour curse or whatever it was changed her appearance?...
"What happen, did you see how your last appointment died?" Nate asked snapping her out f her thoughts as he examined the bullet assuming she was a witness to a murder. "No.." R/n sighed and went to say a demon hunter shot her, but was cut off by said hunter who had been watching them from the roof jumped down.
He scared the hell out of Nate who subconsciously put himself between R/n and Dante, who looks ready kill them until the elder reaper spoke up. "Hey listen pal, I don't know what your beef is, but you better back off now!" instead Dante grabbed him by the neck and pulled him up to his face while keeping Ebony pointed at R/n mumbled "Not again..." and waited for the shot to go off as a tense silence filled the air.
"I’m going give you a chance..."
The demon hunter hissed as his aura fluctuated he was so pissed and about to trigger..."What are you demons planning? Why does that thing look like R/n?" he growled as Nate eyes widened stunned. "You...you know who she? But that's not possible unless.." Dante lips curled into snarl as a red hot flash filled the alley and his SDT form was suddenly standing before them as he pulled Nate closer to his face.
"Tick-tock little man..."
Dante growled as Nate tried not to sputter incoherently before finally blurting out. "We're not demons! We're Grim Reapers!?" He choked the half-devil eyes widened and he looked at he man, he seemed to be telling the truth the scent coming of them was of Grave soil and dead lilies the sort of thing death was associated with...
Dante's mind processed this if they really were Reapers then that meant they were once human...and if that was the case then; His ember like eyes looked at R/n's lookalike who was know being held up by sword point, she nodded vigorously a Nate’s revelation. without a word Dante dropped Nate who landed on the ground with a yelp and made his sword disappear the y/hc reaper sighed relieved that she wasn’t gonna be missing her head anytime soon...
But that relief was short lived as R/n felt her feet leave the ground before she or Nate could protest Dante took off with her in his arms! He was nothing more than a speck in the sky as the senior reaper managed to pull himself of the ground watching on with a panicked expression "Oh Ballcock! Glenn is gonna strangle me!" he yelled running a hand through his hair...
"Don't fucking ignore me, put me down!!"
The devil hunter hissed as R/n struggled in his hold making Dante tighten his grip on her as he flew to god knows where! as R/n frowned at him honestly she couldn't blame him at the moment, She's been dead what, 3 months now? and he's just found out she's been walking around enjoying what un-life had offer and never once bothered to seek him out!...
But then again, It wasn't her fault! Nate told R/n that Dante wouldn't recognize her because of some glamour spell all reaper gain moments after their "birth" R/n never even bothered to ask if this spell even worked on demons or half-demons; She just took Nate's word for it, after all she was the Reapling and the hippie was her grave-parent!
R/n's stomach churned as she tried not to think about how her body would heal itself from a fall at this height and speed! "Dante, I'm serious if you don't land us right now, I will barf on you!" She snapped feeling bile rise up from her throat, the half demon let out a rumble before landing them in a forested area where he knew they wouldn't be disturbed.
R/n true to her word bolted for a bush the second Dante put her down and threw up only there was only was something off about it at least from Dante's perspective instead of bile this odd shimmering gold vapor fell out of R/n's throat every time she heaved and floated away. "Urg, that's what I get for skipping breakfast..." the y/ht woman groaned before noticing Dante gawking a her legs she looked saw they've gone spectral.
"Don't freak it happens I just need to eat." she said pulling a small pack of cookies from her hoodie pocket and started munch as Dante's ember like eyes examined her from head to toe, he still hadn't De-Triggered, not that R/n blamed him he was probably expecting her skin to tear open and a demon to jump out at him and wasn't taking any chances.
"How did you end like this?" The reaper cocked a brow at metallic tang Dante's voice had to it, and resisted the urge to smile she missed hearing his trigger voice she always found it sexy... but that's obviously the last thing on the half-demon's mind. "I don't know how to answer that." a low growl escaped from Dante pretty telling her that she had better find a way, causing R/n's temper to flare up.
"What do you want me to say Dante?! Sorry, I died?!
"No! I just want to know why you never came home."
"Because the dead can't interact with their former lives..." Her next words cut through Dante's heart like a dagger as this gray mist suddenly moved in behind her.
"It's not my home anymore, So do us both a favor and forget me move on." she kissed his cheek before walking into some mist that disappeared as quickly as it appeared. leaving Dante alone again, suddenly the was a loud explosion as Dante released a huge burst of energy that knock of trees and left a large crater where he was standing. As if he’d let something like death keep him from his girl! he roared before flying back to his shop to figure out a plan.
R/n was back in the city at a college party watched as a frat boy she just high-five'd slipped on a ping-pong ball and fell off the balcony his buddies were playing beer-pong on and impale himself on a concrete lawn gnome much to the other party goers horror. "Huh, now that's a new one." R/n mused while taking a sip of her beer.
