The Son Of Dante

Chapter 1: Prologue



Two millennium ago. There is a war between the human world, and the other, the underworld. But somebody from the underworld woke up to justice and stood up against this legion alone. his name was Sparda. Later, he quietly reigned the human world and continued to preserve harmony until his death. He became a legend, The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda.

.....

Dark gloomy clouds covered the might sky. Rain beat down heavily on the earth without mercy. Few people with umbrellas wandered the wet streets heading home to retire for the night. Those who didn't have one or forgot to either had to take shelter or walk through the street unhindered by the rain.

In a dark alley, a small boy sat alone in the rain with his knees hugged close to his chest. What should have been a vibrant blue eyes now looked almost dead. The boy sat down on the wet streets floor uncaring for the rain. The rain angrily beat down on this insolent child's body without mercy, but the boy could care less, after all, he had just escaped death and appeared in a new world.

The boy covered in rags stared at his own reflection in a puddle of water. Blonde hair laid lazily on his head,his big baby blue eyes looked almost lifeless, his face was completely smooth and round filled with baby fats. There were scars and scratch marks on his face. Three faint whisker marks lined both side of his cheeks.

His small frame went almost completely unnoticed by people who passed by the alley way. Those who did notice could only cast pity glances at him, while some just completely ignore him.

It was midnight by the time Dante had just completed another job by lady. It had barely been a few months since the incident with Virgil and Arkham. They were still doing cleaning jobs after the incident.

He had just opened his shop when Lady had given him a demon extermination Job in a mansion. It didn't take him long to kill those low level demons. It wasn't fun at all and he was currently in the mood of some strawberry Sunday.

Dante walk into a dark alley way unhindered by the rain. He passed by a little blonde haired boy when he felt a strong sensation from him causing him to stop in his track.

'This feeling?'

He turned around to look back at the small boy and walk back to him. The closer he got, the stronger the sensation. By the time he was standing in front of the boy his senses was already going haywire.

'There's no mistaking it. There's a demon in this child, and a powerful one at that'. Dante felt the urge to pull out rebellion and end it before it started but he decided against it.

He squirted down in front of the boy who didn't seem to care about being stared at. Naruto raised his head to look at the white head man squirting in front of him. Lifeless blue eyes met icy blue eyes, both curiously sizing up the other's owner.

What is a demon child doing alone in the human world?

Dante thought while observing the kid who looked like he'd rather die than live.

Finally he decided to take the soft approach.

"What are doing alone in the rain?"

"...."

Dante gritted his teeth at his first failed attempt at having a conversation. He look at the kid face and notice that he didn't seem to understand him so he decided to try again, this time by making hand gestures.

He pointed to a couple passing by and then a kid. When he saw the kid look at the people he indicated, he smiled and then pointed at the kid.

"Where is your family?" He emphazied the word family so the boy could get a better understanding.

"Do you have one?"

Naruto shook his head at this. Although the white haired man was acting strange, he could understand that he was trying to talk to him.

Dante seeing his reaction looked visibly happy. He mentally patted himself on the back. After a successful experiment he now know what to do. He made a shivering gesture and then pointed to the dark clouds and rain. "Cold?"

The boy had a quicker response this time by giving him a short nod. He must have noticed that he was trying to help.

Dante hurriedly took off his coat and wrapped it around him before picking him up.

"You are safe now"

.....

A few hours later Dante pace back and forth in his office lost in thought. His office was still under reconstruction so he had no choice but to put Naruto to sleep on his newly acquired pool table since the demons destroyed the last one during Virgil's last visit to the human world.

"Where the hell is she?"

The double placed door of the building was pushed open and a lady walked in. she wears a schoolgirl outfit with a short white blouse that bares her midriff and sleeves that reach just past her elbows.

The skirt appears to be made of protective plating and she has a utility belt to hold gun magazines, with dark black/purple shorts underneath. Connected to the belt is a harness for Kalina Ann.

She carries a pistol on the front of her skirt and a Skorpion submachine gun with a bayonet on the back, with a lever action bow gun of sorts strapped to her left thigh, and finally, a pistol strapped to her right boot. She wears dark brown gloves and orange-brown knee-high boots, with black socks under.

she has the genetic condition called heterochromia, which render each of her eyes a different color: her left eye is red while her right eye is bluish-green.

Her face could have been considered beautiful if not for the frown that had taken form on her face immediately her eyes landed on the Dante she walked towards him with heavy footsteps.

"Lady!" Dante's mood brightened up at the sight of his partner, the person he had been waiting for has finally arrived. Though the same couldn't be said for her.

"Dante! what the hell is this about a demon child?!" Lady asked. She had just got back from a job and was looking forward to taking a cold shower before heading to bed when Dante had called her. She had first wanted to blow him off but then he mentioned something about a demon child and she immediately knew that the situation was serious. Hence why she was here now.

"It's has I said over the telephone. Take a look yourself" He moved aside so she could see the blonde haired kid sleeping on the pool table.

Lady was startled when she saw the kid that looks like a seven year old human child. From what she could see, he looked no different than a human child. She returned her gaze from the child to stare at Dante in shock.

"He is like you, isn't he?!. A demon and a human hybrid"

"I was as shocked as you when I first found out. Me and my brother are the only known nephalim to ever exist and we spent most of our childhood running from demons. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for him with no one by his side" Dante sighed as he looked at the kid sleeping soundly. Ue couldn't imagine how hard it must have been for him.
