Ririro went to get groceries . With the list Reimi gave her. Dante followed.

Dante: should we hold hands ? So we don't get lost.

Ririro : huh ? Get lost ?

Dante : um. Then I don't have to find you.

"... Ok. " She held onto his hand and they walked .

Dante : what's on the list ?

" Erm..." She gave it to him. He takes a look " Reimi sure cooks a lot."

Ririro : no badmouthing Reimi !! She cooks the best !

Dante : ok ok. I cook too you know.

Ririro : is that so ? Oh ya. Papa did say something like that. Did papa say it's nice ?

Dante : him ? In fact picky.

Ririro : I see... You're so lucky... He raised you.

Dante takes the box of flour from the shelf " well... Raised... Not really. Though he's the one who picked me, he wasn't really there. Half the time he was somewhere else."

Ririro ; where ?

Dante ; well ... Now that I think about it...

Flashback ~

Dante as a kid asked as he saw shisui leaving " again ? "

Shisui: don't worry. I told our next door neighbours.

They stayed in a large house then. The kinds that rented rooms to people. They had a room for their living.

Dante : where are you always going ?

Shisui : Japan. Been a bit long...

End ~

Dante : he's always went back to Japan to see if you were ok.

Ririro ; .... Oh. Sorry.

Dante moves along down the aisle " I did ask him. Why don't we just move there . "

Ririro : and ?

Dante enters the aisle " He has a disgusting thing to catch there. For revenge. "

Ririro : oh...

Dante takes another box and from the shelf " he wasn't a good caretaker. But ... I'm still grateful. He taught me how to protect myself."

Flashback~

The little kid cried.

Shisui : ugh. I'll call those people. They'll have something that can erase his memories. Though... He'll still see.

Shisui goes over and squats down. He pushes the little boy's head to his chest " it's ok. Your days may be shit a little while. But it will be ok. "

Dante : how would you know !!!

Shisui: I lost people precious to me too, before.

Dante : and then... You were ok ?

Shisui : kind of.

Dante : .... I don't want. I don't want !!! I... I saw you make that thing go away.

Shisui : so ?

Dante : ... You... You can kill it right ?

Shisui : Do you even know what you're talking about? Kid .

Dante ; will you or not?!!

Shisui : yes. It's my job.  Don't worry about it. It's an adult job.

Dante : .... Ok. Promise.

Shisui :.... Promise.

Shisui was called back to the headquarters for White Hunters.

Shisui : you've got to be kidding me.

" Nope. He has the ability. You've got to teach him. "

Shisui : why me ? I'm busy. And you know why.

" He's good. But he refuses to kill even a small curse. He insists to train under you. Our kinds are less. You have to train him."

Shisui : ugh...
.
.
.
Shisui : what's wrong with you kid ?

Dante : the curse that killed my parents.

Shisui : killed. Died.

Dante: ok. Train me.

Shisui: why insist on me?

Dante: ... I know how strong the curse was. The one that killed my parents. I know how strong you are. I want you.

Shisui: annoying kid.

End ~

Ririro ; I see. Hehe. You're like half brother. Not real one.

" don't say such things. I want to be able to still..." He kisses her forehead " do these things to you."
