The Man In Red has Returned ((OPEN))

[Dante]

Dante entered the Opera house where his eyes met the scene of many mourners sitting in a very awkward silence all showing their respects for those who had died due to the demons on the streets.

He felt a surge of guilt for not being their to stop their loved ones attacker, he stood silently at the door wondering weather or not to take a step forward, or to just turn around and leave these people to continue their mourning in peace.

Dante narrowed his eyes, he would help these innocents, and he would help them gain revenge for their's which were lost, he just needed to find the demon who did it.

[Skyler]

Feeling slightly down on himself, Skyler walked into the Opera house where his jaw dropped when he seen the white haired figure who's frame was covered wearing a bright red leather jacket.

" What brings you here Dante?" Skyler questioned forgetting all about his devistating loss as he looked up to the one demon hunter he respected maybe even more than his father or Luke McCoy. " It must be something bad." He guessed suddenly.

Skyler looked inquisitive, Dante was a high class demon hunter with his very own shop, it was odd seeing him in the small town especially after what went down last time he showed up.

[Dante]

Dante looked at the kid who stood before him, " Hey Skyler," he said returning the youngster's smile. " How are ya? Been a long time since I've seen ya, gonna have to go and visit your parents sometime."

Dante noticed Skyler's face, he looked oddly disappointed, " You alright kid?" He asked as he also noted some blood coming off of Skyler's forehead, " Looks like you got into some kind of a scrap."

[Skyler]

" It was....." Skyler looked at Dante, the great demon hunter who rarely ever lost a fight, the man who fought some pretty tough demons. Skyler's voice faltered, " It was embaressing." He admitted, I took on too much than I could handle." He answered looking down at his feet and then looking back up ashamed of his abilities.

He could see Dante was expecting more explanation than that. " She killed them Dante, half of the group. All innocents who didn't deserve to die, she wiped them out only a few survived and she would have killed them too......"

Skyler sprang into his explanation of what happened in his battle against Tiffany not missing a detail about the battle as he described what had happened. " I feel like a failure." He finally ended.

[Dante]

Dante stood staring at Skyler quietly for a few moments before he finally spoke, " Don't be so hard on yourself kid." He said, " You should have been there for my first demon....." Dante trailed off for a moment, " Let's just say I failed miserablly." He lied trying to make the kid feel better.

Dante's thoughts wandered after seeing a slight encouraged smile play upon Skyler's face, he was thinking about this new demon Skyler mentioned, " Tiffany huh?" He said outloud and then added; " Just thinking Skyler." as he thought about what he should do about the new situation, " Maybe I oughta take matters into my own hands." He said finally.

[Skyler]

" I could help you." Skyler said excitedly, " I mean I've fought the demon already, I could help you while you search for her. " He said hopfully looking at Dante.

Skyler began playing with his staff, twirling it around showing off what it could do to Dante. " I could even fight her again." He said more to himself than to Dante. Then after catching a look in Dante's eye he stopped. " Sorry." He said quickly.

[Dante]

" Whoa slow down kid." Dante said chuckling at the look of excitement in Skyler's eyes. " You're not coming anywhere with me." He said, " I work alone, besides, you've got better things to fill your weakend with kid." He said offering an alternative. " Like, I dunno friends."

Dante smiled warmly at Skyler, the kid reminded him a lot of himself, but when he was Skyler's age, he was even just as head first as Skyler, and Dante recognized how much danger that puts oneslef in.

" I promise you let me go solo on this one, and I'll take you out with me on another demon mission? O.k.?" He asked looking at Skyler seeing that he satisfied the kid with this he nodded and then gave a wave and walked off out of the Opera house. " I'll be back as soon as I can kid." He said.
