Chapter 4: Dance of Black Feathers

 

“YOU!!!” Celene pointed her right index finger directly at Dante's nose and held the bump on the back of her head with her left hand. Jennifer, on the other hand, was staring at Dante as if she was in a trance. Seeing this, Dante took a second to wave and flash a cute grin at Jennifer, who in turn, blushed and turned away. Celene looked back and forth at her friend and Dante. “Jenny!”

 

“Huh? Oh!” Jennifer flinched and looked down at Celene, who was still on the floor, and started to help her up. “Cece! Are you okay?” After helping Celene up, Jennifer continued to throw shy glances at Dante.

 

“No.” Celene answered as she glared at Dante, who still had that grin on his face.

 

“Hi! My name's Dante.” Dante held up his hand to shake Jennifer's. “What's yours, babe?”

 

Jennifer was just about to answer when Celene slapped his hand away, “Stop hitting on my friend!!!”

 

“Why?” Dante plopped his elbows on the bar counter and took a seat behind it. “Are you jealous, CECE?” He said her nickname particularly loud and it annoyed the hell out of her. He made it sound as if they were very close.

 

Celene knew it was just a trap that Dante had set up to piss her off, but she wasn't able to stop herself from falling into it, “Don't call me that, you asshol…”

 

“You two know each other, Cece?” Jin cut off Celene's sentence as he came back around the counter to set down the dirty dishes he had collected. He glanced at Dante, then at Celene while cleaning the dishes.

 

“NO! / Yes.” Celene stared at Dante in disbelieve as he answered yes and she answered no. Dante just smirked at the way she looked. Then he added, “How come he gets to call you Cece?” To which Celene just glared at him as if trying to burn a hole in him with her eyes.

 

“And you are?” Jin cleaned the soap off of his hands and started to dry the dishes.

 

Celene started to reply, “Jin, he's a nobody. I don't even know…”

 

“I'm the hot guy she just met and fell madly in love with.” Dante said simply as if it were an everyday thing.

 

“WHAT?!” Celene's eyes were about to pop out. She screamed, “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!”

 

Celene covered her mouth with her right hand just as Jin turned to look at her with an annoyed expression. She had just remembered how much it peeved Jin to hear her foul language. He had always told her she should act more lady-like, like Jennifer. Dante raised his eyebrows curiously at Jin, who, he thought, seemed to possess some sort of control over Celene. She corrected her sentence while giving Dante the warning look, “What I meant was: What are you talking about?”

 

Dante decided to try out his theory, “Don't tell me you forgot already! We met two days ago in the quiet and empty forest on a romantic full moon night!” He tried to sound as romantic as possible just to annoy Celene more. “And then we went back to my house. You slept in my bed too, remember?” Celene couldn't believe her ears. “We were so crazy that it looked like a tornado came through my room.” Dante smirked as he finished.

 

Jennifer frowned, “Cece, if you were meeting a guy, you could've just told us.” Jin just kept continued drying the dishes as if nothing had happen. He looked neither angered nor sad.

 

Celene immediately tried to explain “NO! It's not what it sounds like! He is the guy that saved me and the only reason I was in his bed was because I was unconscious and…” Celene could see that Jennifer was not convinced. As for Jin, he stayed the way he was, calm and unmoved. So she turned to Dante. “WHY YOU…” Celene lunged forward over the counter and tried to grab hold of Dante's neck. To his advantage, the counter protected Dante so Celene couldn't reach him. Plus Jennifer was holding her back.

 

Cough, cough!

 

Jin faked a cough, which caused Celene to stop her crazy killing streak immediately. She sighed and looked up at the two guys. “You know what? I'm gonna go outside and take out the trash.” She pointed outside repeatedly to Dante as if trying to tell him to go outside too.

 

“Ok.” Dante just played dumb.

 

Celene growled in anger and headed outside through the back door, she yelled out to Jin just before going out the door, “Jin! That guy is psycho! There is something wrong with his brain so don't listen to anything he says!” Jennifer started to offer Dante a drink. “And Jenny! Go home!!!” Celene added as Jennifer stomped her foot, threw off her apron, and headed out the door.

 

Dante watched as Jennifer walked out of the door. He waved to her again just before she got into her car. Jennifer blushed, smiled, and waved goodbye also, then she drove off in her car. He turned his attention back to the only person left in the place, Jin. “ So… You must be Jin, right? The name's Dante. Nice to meet ya.” Dante held his hand out to shake Jin's but got no reply.

 

“Same.” Was all that came out of Jin's mouth as he picked up a tablecloth and started wiping the counter. They stay quiet for five minutes before Jin spoke again. “So, how did you and Celene meet?”

 

Dante started his explanation again, “I just told you that we met two days ago and that I was the guy who she…”

 

“Just met and fell madly in love with, right?” Jin finished for him.

 

Dante smirked, “You don't seem convinced. Do you not trust me?”

 

Jin purposely wiped the spot that Dante had his arms on, causing him to lift his arms off of the counter, “It's not that I don't trust you. It's only because I trust Celene.” Jin stopped what he was doing to look Dante in the eye. “I've known her too long to know that she is not the type who would go for someone that she had just met.” Then he mumbled. “Let alone someone like you.”

 

Dante put his elbows back onto the counter after Jin had put away the tablecloth, “ You seem to know Celene pretty well. Let me guess, you must be the `we have been friends ever since we were little kids' type of guy, aren't you?” Jin said nothing. “I'll take that as a yes. But I was wondering, are you also the `I have been crushing on her since we were little kids' type too?”

 

Jin turned his back towards Dante to fumble with something. Even so, Dante could tell that he was right because Jin's ears were a little red. Dante chuckled and got up off of the bar stool, “I think I'll go out and find Celene. She's probably missing me right now.” With that, he walked around the counter and went into the storage room to go out the backdoor. Before opening the backdoor, Dante looked around out to the counter where Jin now stood in deep thoughts, then around the whole place. He frowned, “Why am I getting these weird demonic feelings, is there a demon around?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“GOD DAMN IT!!!” Celene cursed and kicked the empty trashcan at the wall while holding a black plastic bag full of trash in her right hand. Opening the big trash collection bin, she tossed the bag in and slammed the door close. “Stupid punk! I told him not to show up here! Why the hell did I think he was gonna just go away like a good little boy?” She opened up the lid again and slammed it shut again, she did this repeatedly until she felt her anger calm down a bit. She sighed and sat down against the wall.

 

“What's that?” Celene wonder as she looked up on top of the roof. There was a black crow sitting there. It stared at her quietly as if spying on her, yet, it was not trying to hide itself at all. Celene stared back at the bird, it looked just like any other crow, but its gaze made her uneasy. So she picked up a rock, aimed at the spot close to the crow, and released the rock into the air. It whizzed right by the crow's head, but it remained unmoving. Celene picked up another rock, she was not going to give up until that bird is gone.

 

“I think you need anger management.” Dante commented as he walked past the dented trashcan. Then he smirked. “Or maybe you just need Jin to keep you under control. He seems to be the one who keeps you in check.”

 

Celene kept her back turned to Dante as she cursed him silently. When she turned to face him, she had a very happy smile on her face, “What took you so long? I was waiting for you.”

 

Dante raised his eyebrow curiously, “Really? Why?” He started to walk towards Celene.

 

“Because I wanted to…” Celene stopped her sentence when Dante was only a foot away and kicked her right leg at his side. “ KICK YOUR ASS!!!”

 

Luckily, Dante had blocked it before she was able to hit him, “ I knew you were being a little too nice than you really are.”

 

Celene dropped her leg and quickly tried to punch him in the face, “That only applies to you!!! I happen to be very nice to everyone else!!!” Dante moved his head out of the way, as soon as he got away from that attack, Celene launched another punch at his stomach with her left fist.

 

Dante, using Celene's outstretch arm, pushed himself up in the air and flipped right over Celene and landed behind her, “I didn't know I was so special to you! I'm touched!”

 

Celene kicked backwards with her left leg, but Dante blocked her with his opened palm, “What the hell are you doing here anyways? I thought I told you not to come within 10 miles of me!”

 

“Yeah well, I never said I was going to listen.” Dante smirked as Celene growled and spun around and kicked with her right leg again.

 

Their distance was so close this time that, instead of blocking, Dante grabbed her leg right when it touched his left side and held it there firmly. Standing on only one leg, Celene hobbled back and forth trying to keep her balance. “ LET GO!!!”

 

“You seriously need some help!” Dante smirked as Celene struggled in vain to free her leg. “I've never met a girl as crazy or violent as you.”

 

“Yeah well, you'll be seeing a more than just a crazy girl if you don't let go NOW!!!” Celene warned.

 

Dante just grinned, “I think I'd like to see that.”

 

Creak!

 

Celene and Dante both turned to the source of the noise and found Jin putting trash into the trash bin, he turned to face the two, “You forgot the trash in the back room, Cece.” He cocked his eyebrows as if he was confused. “ What are you guys doing?”

 

“We're just practicing the moves you taught me last week.” She tried to yank her leg out again, but was in vain.

 

Dante looked turned his gaze from Jin to Celene, “ So he's the one who taught you how to fight.” He turned to Jin, “You know, you really shouldn't do that. I mean, look at her, she's already violent enough.” He glanced at Celene disapprovingly. “If you teach her how to fight, she'll never get a boyfriend. Unless you happen to like it rough.” Dante smirked as he said that last sentence.

 

With his hand still on the trash bin lid, Jin kept it open and stared at Dante irritatingly. Then he turned his attention to Celene, “ You know, Cece? You're in the perfect position to try out that new move we went over last week. Let's see if you remember how to do it.” Normally, you would never associate Jin with anything but goodness. After all, he is like a prince. But at this very moment, he happened to have a very evil grin on his face.

 

“Oh yeah…” Celene also had an evil grin on her face as she turned to look at Dante. “ I think you're right.”

 

“Huh?” Dante was very confused and suspicious at what they were saying. “ What are you talking… WHOA!!!”

 

Before he could finish his sentence, Celene kick her left leg up to his side also. Dante let out a gasp of surprised as he felt both of her legs tighten their grip on his sides. She leaned back, supported herself with her hands and lifted Dante into the air as she did a back flip. Dante felt her legs let go of him as he flew towards the wall where Jin was standing next to. Luckily, instead of crashing into the wall, Dante was able to stop himself by having his feet make contact with the wall first. But unfortunately, he wasn't able to stop himself from falling into the trash bin that Jin was holding open. The lid of the bin fell shut due to the impact that he had made when he fell in.

 

Dante opened the lid again and found Jin going back inside with a very content look on his face. Celene, on the other hand, was walking towards him. She gave him a fake sweet smile, “ You might want to take a shower when you get home.” With that, she pulled the lid down again and tried to shut it on him.

 

Dante ducked down just before the lid hit his head. When he opened the lid again, Celene had already gone back inside. He looked at the state that he was in. “Good thing they bagged all their trash.” He commented as he looked down in the trash bin. Celene and Jin always put their trash in a big plastic bag before taking it out. Therefore, Dante was not covered in pieces of trash, but it didn't prevent him from smelling like one. He stepped out of the trash bin and brushed himself off although there wasn't anything on him.

 

On the roof, the crow cocked its head once and flapped its wings to take off.

 

BANG!

 

The crow fell down as the bullet pierced through its wing and laid on the roof motionless. Suddenly, it shuddered and became covered with dark fog. Out of the fog, a figure emerged, “Shit.” The figure was a young man dressed in a long leather black coat and long leather pants of the same color. He had the face of a human but was obviously a demon. Black feathers flew all around him as he examined the wound on his arm.

 

COCK, COCK!

 

The boy looked up and found Dante standing behind him with Ebony and Ivory pointing right at him, “Don't move.” Dante warned as the boy took a step back. “Mind telling me who you are? Cause I don't really like being watched by a stranger.”

 

The boy's face scrunched up in anger, “Don't think of yourself so highly, Demon hunter. We have no time to waste on you.” He tightened his hold on the bullet wound in his arm until his knuckles turned white.

 

“Oh? So that must mean someone sent you to spy on somebody in the café, am I right?” Dante smirked as the boy gasped in surprise when he realized he had accidentally revealed too much of his mission. “You must be a newbie to this demon spy business. But I've got to give you some credit, at least you know who I am.”

 

The boy gritted his teeth, revealing his sharp fangs and let his hands dropped to his side. Dante was really getting on his nerves, “You have a mouth too smart for your own good, SPARDA!!!” The demon lunged at Dante.

 

Without much effort, Dante kicked the boy with his left leg and slammed him down to the floor as he brought his foot down with the boy under it. The demon struggled to get out from under Dante foot but stopped when Dante opened fire twice at the spot next to his ear. “ Alright, now that you are all calm, why don't you tell me who you are and who sent you?” Dante asked as he glanced over at the bullet wound, it was already healed up.

 

“NEVER!!!” He screamed as his eyes turned red and claws grew on his fingers. He slashed wildly at Dante, who realized that the demon's speed had rose all of a sudden.

 

Dante pointed his guns at him and opened fire rapidly, he mumbled as the boy screamed out in pain, “Why don't they ever want to surrender?”

 

He stopped shooting once the boy had stopped moving towards him. Dante watched as the teen's eyes went back to normal and collapsed to the floor with a loud screech.

 

Poof!

 

Right when his body hit the ground, it exploded into black feathers and danced all around Dante. “What the…” Looking down, Dante found the falling feathers arranging themselves into a pattern.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crash!

 

“Crap!” Celene said as she dropped the dishes she was holding and grabbed her the tattoo on her neck.

 

Jin came out from the back room immediately, “ CECE!” He ran to Celene's side and found her crouching on the floor and holding her neck as if in pain. “Are you okay?”

 

Celene let go of her neck as the burning pain started to fade, “Yeah.” She looked at her hand to check if she was bleeding, but she wasn't.

 

Jin's eyes widened as he watched the tattoo on Celene's neck turned from a bright, crimson red to blacked as if someone had just poured water over the burning tattoo, “Celene, that tattoo… Where did you…”

 

Celene begin picking up the broken pieces of dishes on the floor, “It's nothing. I got it a few days ago.”

 

Jin could tell that she didn't want to tell him the whole truth, but he didn't press her on the matter. If she really felt that he shouldn't know, then she probably has good reasons for doing so. After all, he hadn't been entirely truthful to her either. It is only fair if she were allowed to keep something from him too. “Okay. I got this here, why don't you go to the backroom and clean out the boxes of stuff that we need to use tonight?”

 

“Okay, thanks.” Celene smiled and went to the backroom. She stopped right before the back door and thought, “Is that idiot still out there?” She went outside and looked around. There was nobody there.

 

BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG…

 

“What the hell?” Celene looked up to the roof of on of the buildings and found Dante shooting rapidly at someone or something. She started climbing the ladder as the shots stopped and black feathers danced all over the place. “What the hell is that moron doing up there? Hunting for birds?”

 

SCREECH!

 

When she arrived on the top, she saw feathers fluttering all around Dante, who was examining something on the floor. “What the hell do you think you're doing? Someone could hear the shots and have you arrested, you moron!”

 

Dante turned quickly as he heard Celene's voice, he hadn't heard her coming up the ladder, “I was just taking care of a demon.” Dante explained, he had a serious expression on his face. “But you might want to take a look at what he left.”

 

Celene walked up next to him with a suspicious look on her face, “This better not be a trick or something…” Celene gasped as she looked at the ground. “Oh my god…” She whispered. Then she turned to Dante, “ What is this suppose to mean?”

 

Dante kneeled down to examine it further, “I'm not sure. But I can tell you right now: That tattoo on your neck is more than just a scar.” He picked up one of the feathers from the ground while Celene touched the tattoo on her neck. Both of them watched as the wind picked up and blew all the feathers away. Wiping out the symbol formed by the black feathers, the black roman numeral three.
