"There's really nothing left, is there?" I mutter, my eyes barely focused on the vast expanse of dust we had been traveling on for days. Or has it only been a few hours...? Time is hard to track here. That light in the sky doesn't rise or fall, just glows like a sort of beacon. My partner looks at me, and I notice slight bags under his blue eyes. This trek must be wearing him out too...I feel a hand gently ruffle my hair and frown a little. I know he did it to cheer me up, but it makes me feel like a little kid. I hate being looked down upon.

"No. I can feel the energy of demons gathering in places. I dunno if that's a good or bad thing, but...If we go to one of those places, we might find something." Dante replies, his head turning away from me to look at our surroundings. Dust as far as the eye can see, though there are some ruined buildings in the distance. I doubt they're any more structurally sound than the one we used to camp out a few days ago however. I do notice a large clump of things farther away, the dust covering them up almost like some sort of fog. That oughta be it then. I can feel some energy emanating from the place too, and it brings a chill up my spine. The tiny sparkle that is our pixie friend stops in her tracks, making me look up.

"What is it?" I ask, wondering if she's more attuned to the presences than we are. I kinda doubt it though, since Dante's probably a pro. She points further down the path we are following, and I can barely make out a dark shape covering most of the 'road' we are on. I swore, and Dante only sighed. We both knew it was one of those damn puddles of ooze. Usually we'd go around it, but this one looked too big to circumvent. It was more like a lake really, its size hidden by the fog and our distance from it.

"Fuck me. This is gonna be a pain in the ass..." I swear, looking at the giant mess of purple and black ooze that was blocking our way. Dante smirked, his face going back to a look of confusion right after.

"Maybe later, kiddo, if you stop swearing. Still...this is gonna be a problem. Even I can't make this with my human speed. That stuff doesn't exactly scream 'safe' either. And I don't wanna test it by taking a dip."

I scoff at his first sentence, my arms folded over my chest. He wasn't bad looking, and as far as I knew, a decent guy. He'd proved that more than a few times. Not like I knew anything about that stuff anyway, aside from what I heard from Isamu. He was popular with the girls at school. Though he had a weird thing for our teacher for some reason. That's part of the reason he'd dragged me along in the first place...Still, to think that they'd ever 'do that' made me a little ill. I shook my head, clearing those thoughts out of my mind. We needed to find a way across this pit. I turned my head to look at Dante, who hopefully had some ideas by now. I could only stare, my mouth slightly agape, at what I was seeing. The older man was half naked, his shirt completely off, dirt rising from the cloud of dust that gathered where he threw it. He turned his head halfway to look at me, his hands now busy unlacing and pulling off his boots. I was very confused; did he take my earlier statement seriously? I was only joking, though the white haired man was quite good looking. My face began to redden a bit at the thoughts going through my mind. Refocusing my attention on Dante, my face reddened even further when I saw that he was now completely naked, his pale skin and toned muscles causing my eyes to involuntarily wander. I couldn't help it; I had never seen a man naked before, although Chiaki and I used to sneak pervy magazines sometimes when we went over to each others houses. We often compared which ones we liked the most, throwing away the evidence before our parents discovered. I mean, if boys could do the same thing and not get scolded for it, why can't we? Still having a real, live man in front of me was a different story. I could probably reach out and grab his taut ass if I wanted; he was that close. I honestly kind of wanted to, my own butt feeling flabby and large in comparison.

"...Eh? What's got you so worked up?" Dante asks, turning around and making the feelings of shame on my face grow even more. No, what are you doing? I think, backpedaling a step or two, not wanting him to get any closer. I only stare at him for a few seconds before the image is burned into my brain. His pale chest, those finely toned abs, leading down to his nether regions. Thankfully, his hand was covering that part, so I could only imagine what it looked like, but it left me slightly confused. I frantically shake my head, covering my eyes with my hand, hearing a stifled laugh from somewhere above me.

"T-this isn't funny!" I shout, the Pixie flying above me finding this hilarious as she rolls around on her back in the air. Her squeaky voice only serves to make me more flustered.

"Aahah, ye-yes it is! Don't tell me, you're still a virgin." Pixie comments, making me flush wildly as I shout to try and drown the feelings of pure embarrassment.

"O-of course! Why wouldn't I be?" I shout at the flying annoyance, feeling the heel of my foot touch something murky and sticky. I immediately felt a growing pain at that spot, a sharp burn that felt like it was eating through my flesh. I swore out loud, not realizing we were this close to the black and purple pit. The stuff was sticky, clinging to my skin worse than mud, and burning every inch it touched with white hot pain. I feel a hand grab my wrist, probably his, and make a small yelp as I'm being pulled forward. I feel that same hand come to rest on the back of my shoulder as I am embraced by something warm. It only lasts for a few seconds, the warmth of his body quickly leaving as he separates us. I hear him sigh, and I figure it is okay to open my eyes.

"Geez, kid. I've told you that stuff is dangerous, even for demons. You got so flustered that you practically walked right into the stuff." Dante explains, his other hand still on my shoulder. I look him in the eyes, mostly because I'm worried of where my eyes will wander if they aren't focused on something. Those piercing blue eyes softened as they watched me.

"Well, what's with you? Undressing for no reason...I was joking about the sex thing dammit!" I shout, causing Dante to smile. He let out a light chuckle, his Adams apple bobbing his throat.

"I thought so. As much as I'd like to, this isn't the time or place for that. I'm doing this for a different reason. I didn't want my clothes to be torn to shreds, so I figured it'd be easier taking 'em off." He explained, causing me to stare for a few seconds. So...I freaked out over nothing? Well, maybe not nothing persay...At least it was just a misunderstanding. I thought, letting out a relieved sigh of my own. Dante then suddenly took a step or two back from me, making me worry a bit. I could feel a slight buildup of magical power coming from him.

"I told you I was half-demon, yeah? Well...you're about to see the demon side of me. Don't freak out too much," He comments, the feeling of power coming from him stronger and stronger. It's like a sudden burst of energy that was hidden inside of him releases itself. The first thing I notice is that his eyes start to glow white, that light radiating out of his body and making him hard to see. I feel the magical energy he'd built up explode at that moment, covering my eyes because of the light radiating from his naked body. Honestly, it was almost like a shockwave, rolling over me and causing me to fall to the ground with its intense pressure. After a few seconds, the power ebbs out, the pressure and bright light receding in a few seconds. I can only stare at the thing in front of me. I know it's rude to call him that, but 'thing' is the only word I can think of when I see Dante. Unlike me, he doesn't look even remotely human, except for maybe the basic anatomical structure. I'm not sure how to describe him; He is completely different than before.

The first thing I notice are his eyes, still glowing red with the light of magical energy. Then I notice his face, the features more chiseled but somewhat similar to how a humans would seem. His face is an ebony black, similar to the black ooze around us. Odd protrusions are sticking out where his hair would be, red in color and sharply angled to a point. He still has the hair of his human self, white and luscious as before, though it looks more like a wild mane now, longer and flowing behind his back. His chest is broader than before, the same black color as his face, though a crack of light is spread in the middle. It is the same color as his eyes, glowing fiercely with magical power, and smaller lines, almost like veins protrude from various places on his chest, spreading out across his body. He exudes power; much more than my pathetic self. It kind of scares me, this gap in strength...Though now that I think about it, he isn't too much stronger than his regular human self. Maybe it's just the change in his physical attributes that worried me.

"Well, well...How interesting..." The small Pixie on my shoulder remarks, clearly intrigued by the sight of our companion. Said half demon only gives us a cheeky grin, the protruding points in his back spreading out as thin, wispy transparent wings start to emerge. They look more like a fly’s wings than anything else, I guess...They certainly aren’t the feathery kind you’d see on angels! I blink in surprise as he walks towards me, putting a clawed hand in my shoulder.

“You don’t seem scared at all...” I let out a small chuckle at his words, shaking my head slightly. After all I had been through lately, something like this wasn’t enough to make me scared. Besides, traveling with him for the past few days had helped me understand what kind of person he was. A little bit of a joker, but ultimately a good guy.

“Please...I’m not a little kid. You’re not that different from before...” Something flashes across his face for a second, his new features too alien for me to read even if they were based off of a human’s. I watch his other arm reach out to touch me as well, and I reflexively squeal as I feel him lift me off of the ground, the world going upside down for a moment.

“Huh...Is that so? Well, you better buckle up, ‘cause things are going to get a bit rough!” I hear him say from over his shoulder, watching his wings start to flutter rapidly as I felt us lurch off of the ground. Were we flying? Scenery whipped past my eyes too fast for me to tell, though it sure felt like we were lighter, my legs dangling against his torso. Thankfully the odd swinging sensation stopped after a few minutes, Dante easily depositing me on the ground after he touched down. I just stare blankly at him for a few seconds, still sitting on the ground, my mind still dizzy and reeling from the odd flight. Oooof. I don’t want to do that again anytime soon.

“So much for that small puddle...Hmm...Looks like there’s a town up ahead, or some trace of civilization at least. Probably the best way to find some information. C’mon kiddo, let’s get going!”
