Her eyes opened and she had a smile painted on her face. The smile slowly faded as she saw the people in the room. "Oh wonderful everyone had to put up with my o so wonderful voice." She said in a sarcastic tone to herself. She placed her hands back on the piano and started to play a slow song with wonderful cords and a beautiful melody. Her eyes shut again as she started to play and the music once agian consumed her.

Dante heard Scy's request, gripping the guitar by his side as his eyes trailed over Solumone. He relized that man never just WAS.... Everywhere he went was for a reason, so Dante thought out he must be there to speak to him. He was half intrested to see what the man had to say, but didn't bother asking him. He grinned as he guessed that man was already one step ahead of him. He tossed the guitar at an angle, so it rode up the length of the strap and fell casually into his hands the proper way. He looked at Scy, speaking in a low tone, half filled with wonder of what she wanted to hear. He walked towards the center of the stage, licking his lips as he spoke to her in a playful tone, his words almost meant for Solumone as he snapped his fingers, the karioke machine in the back starting to play a rather awkward beat. I cant think of anything else, so this one is for you, Solumone.... Maybe you'll understand what I mean by the words.... He smiled as the machine began a drum solo, Dante jumping up and slamming to the ground with a high E flat that broke into the song that he played.
Can you feel life movin' through your mind,
Ooh, looks like it came back for more!
Yeah yeah yeah!
Can you feel time slippin' down your spine,
Ooooooh, You try and try to ignore!
Yeah!
But you can hardly swallow,
Your fears and pain.
When you can't help but follow,
It puts you right back where you came.
Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow,
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday.
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow,
Live and learn!
You may never find your way.
Whooooa, Oh yeah!
Can you feel life tangle you up inside?
Yeah, now you're face down on the floor!
Oh!
But you can't save your sorrow,
You've paid in trade!
When you can't help but follow,
It puts you right back where you came.
Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow,
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday.
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow,
Live and learn!
You may never find your way.
Hey, whoa, whoa,
Oh yeeeeeeeeeeeah!!!!!!!!
On that last word, Dante spun around violently, playing a brilliant solo as the karioke machine in the background seemed to try and grow louder to match his fury. Another set of five consecutive words came into play as his fingers danced across the bridge of strings.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
He started to end to solo, the noises filling everyone's mind like morphene as he ran his fingers down the E string, playing down towards the highest note on it. Hitting that note, he held it for a moment, ripping his fingers from the bridge and hitting up an A sharp as the rest of the song flowed from him.
There's a face searching far, so far and wide.
There's a place where you dream you'd never find.
Hold on to what if?
Hold on to what if?
Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow,
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday.
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow,
Live and learn!
You may never find your way.
Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow,
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday.
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow,
Live and learn!
You may never find your way.........
The song ended With dante holding the guiatr by the last note, his other hand by his side as blood dripped from his fingers tips, a faint tint of crimson dressing down the strings as he took in deep breaths, his eyes falling on Scy with embarressment and happiness, all wrapped in one neat little package.

Fera's eyes opened and her fingers stopped playing as another sound reached them. With a large sigh and an evil glare she looked at the man playing his guitar. Uh! Does he have to wreck everything of mine playing that? She recalled the first time she saw him and knocked her off the stage. Licking the side of her lip she placed the key-gard down on the cold keys that her fingers had just left. She watched the man play and was kind of shocked. He was very good. He finished and her ears didn't even hurt, that was very strange. She noticed that his hand was bleeding yet he seemed not to notice or he just didn't want to show it. He must have been showing off for the girl. Her eyes rolled and she looked back at her hands. She was still a little ashamed that she had started to sing when people where around.

"Hmmm..." Solumone could be heard from the front...row? He was sitting at the front row now, his cane in his lap and his right leg crossed over his left knee. He rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment a response that may appease Dante. "I can truthfully say I find that emotion is held more in the music played then the words spoken. But that would be me dear boy, and I am but an individual. Besides..." he set his foot down, standing up and placing the cane against the floor. "...what is it I am too understand?" he smiles to Dante, questioning him.

Scytheress was awe-struck, her lips slightly parted trying to get enough air to keep her head clear. Dante held such a fire she'd never witnessed before, and this was only in his music. That thought alone sent a shiver down her spine and threw into realization this man was definitely one she didn't want to make her enemy. Scytheress's gaze fell on the blood coated strings and Dante's satified expression.
"You indeed a man worthy of Legends."
She crossed her arms over her chest, letting her breaths even themselves out as she relaxed. Her eyes flitted to Solumone as he spoke, too wondering now the same he.

Susie walked into the auditorium from hearing some beautiful male singing. It rang through her black fox ears as she came closer and closer to the sound. She found herself walking up a hallway to the entrance of a large room. Her eyes widened as she saw the large size of it, and also seeing Dante standing there, being the one who sang the song. Of course, she recognized his voice off of the bat.
She tilted her head down slightly, letting her long purple hair fall down infront of her shoulders. Her five black fox tails dragged behind her and rustled slightly. Since, she now had her black, feathery wings out because of what Azreal said to her, she folded them slightly around her, almost like a dome. She tilted her head back upwards as she leaned slightly on the wall that was off to the side. Her blue eyes were still focused on Dante though. Susie was silent.

Dante looked at Scy, her words filled him witha kind of sense he's felt before. Suddenly it hit him. MERRICK! He suddenly dived into his own mind, memories from the War of Black Roses came on strong as he remembered the young angel, bleeding in a silvery coat around his frail frame as Dante cut down legions of beasts from reaching him. The young man's words still gave him strength to fight, even to that day. Dante.... te way you move and fight...I can see people having legends about you for generations to come. And when you make it to heaven, we will both speak of the memories of your great victories and battles, for you are truly a legend. Dante snapped back to reality, sighing as he mentally cursed himself for falling into his own nitemares again. He felt something new suddenly, or rather, someone new. He knew right off hand by the sense of warmth his body gave him who it was...Susie. Dante turned his head slightly, looking up towards where he felt her and could make out the shadow lines of the woman. He didnt say a word to her as he felt his heart turning back to stone remembering what she had done to him only days ago, remembering the pain in his heart, remembering he HAD a heart.... Looking back to Scy, he spoke in a half-angered, half-nonchalant tone, feeling the painful gaze of the other woman that seemed to place spells on him, his words short and simple. Its just a ******** song.....

Joy poked her head around the door of the Band Rooms door. Holding her wooden flute close to her heart,as if it would sheild her from some horrible force. Joys big yellow cat ears twiched,recongzing one of the voices. But also smelling her dear friend,and sort of her idol,Susie in the room as well.
Who should she tackle down for a quick hug first?She tossed her head from side to side,her long gren locks bouncing,as Joy walked into the room,now showing her short black dress,hugging her hourglass curves,and showing her tanned skin.
She wagged her tail as the bell ringed softly,filling the room,echoing off the walls,with its cheery meolody.who should Joy go up too first??Susie or Dante??Hmm..nee waa

Scytheress smirked running her hand through her hair again and let her arm fall back to her side. It wasn't the response she'd expected but perhaps it was just the response she needed to remind her why she kept to herself and stayed away from interaction with others. The shift in his demeanour created a friction in her thoughts ultimately resulting in no thought at all, no feeling at all toward the man before her. Scytheress walked forward, passing near Dante and giving him a slight nod before dismounting the stage, her guitar still strapped to her back.

A dark light somewhere inside of her started to grow. Her hand went to her heart, Damn. she thought and ripped away from the room without a word. Her feet took her to the band room behind the stage. She quickly went into her bag and pulled out one of her tontos. Without a second thought she drove it into her hand. The pain took over and the light died. Breathing heavy she placed the now bleeding hand in between her legs. This was not the first time this had happened. Her demon side was starting to grow strong, she couldn't do anything to stop it because she didn't even know it existed. Her hair fell infront of her face and she closed her eyes. Why does this keep happening to me? What have I done so wrong to make my heart so heavy? Her thoughts where directed to no one just questions she couldn't answer. Questions, she had many of them and all she had no answers. She had only known her father and he died before he could tell her the truth about her mother, what a moster she really was.
Blood dripped to the ground and she opened her eyes trying to find something to stop the bleeding. Her blade had cut too deep, s**t!She said softly, holding her hand and putting a lot of pressure to stop the bleeding. On the other side of the door nothing could be hurd of the pain and bleeding that she was under.

Susie felt his eyes rest on her for only a few moments. Her eyes closed momentarily as she took in a deep breath, trying to stay calm, cool, and collected. Her thoughts were going every which way. She remembered how she chose Seth over Dante. But, in her heart she felt it was right, but then in her head something different began to grow. Over the past few weeks, the absences of Seth has made her think oh so much about everything. She had never really truly realized all of the outcomes of her actions.
Her fox ears went flat on her head and her black feathery wings rustled slightly as they started to bleed once more. The blood dripped slowly down from feather to feather, then finely a few drops of the crimson blood onto the floor, making only a small splattering noise. Her eyes opened once more to rest on Dante again. She slowly took a few steps forward, her black knee-high boots making thudding sounds on the hard floor.
Susie felt a chill up her spine, as she felt the chill from Dante just flow over to her. It surronded her warmth and seized it all, almost depleting it totally. But, she just kept her eyes on him, still calm and warm towards him. Although she hurt him, she wished that she wouldnt have had to.

Dante watched Scy leaving as he dropped the guitar with a powerful thud, holding his hand out at her as he spoke. Scy, wait! Watching her jump from the stage, he relized he was never good with his emotions. His hand slowly dropped to his side as he looked down at his fingertips, blood tricking down his forearm as he sighed, slowly closing it and making a fist. He turned around swiftly, moving his hand with enough force to shred the air to ribbons around his knucles as he pressed his broken fingertips against his palm, crying out silently in intense pain. He wanted to wake up...wake up from this hell. Just...be in battle again. He wanted to be God again...decide who lived and who died by his blade. he wanted to be judge by day and jury and exucutioner by night once more...thats how he felt alive...thats the only way he knew he was needed...was when business needed to be done. He placed his head against the cool brick, unfolding his bloodied hand as he took a deep breath. He looked under his armpit and saw Susie approaching him. He didnt know what to say or do, so he felt he'd let her make the first move. He also felt Joy, but remembered how quickly she'd left last time they'd talked, so he didnt spare a friendly word towards her.

Susie let a small sigh escape from her pale parted lips as she tilted her head downward slightly, letting her hair fall to the sides of her cheeks once more. The thudding came closer and closer to Dante as she was soon upon the stage. Slowly, she sat herself down on it, letting her legs with the boots attatched and around them, dangle off the side. Her black angel wings had trickled small spots of blood from the way to where she was, and to where she was now. Though, none of the blood had made its way onto her short black skirt and silky black dress shirt.
Her head leaned upwards and she put both of her hands together, making a clapping noise momentarily as she smirked to herself. "Beautiful Dante.." Her five tails formed around her, three to one side of her and two on the other, falling down beside her legs. They twitched and moved around only occasionally, following her wings and tail.
"I seem to have this connection with your singing it seems...." Susie unfolded her bloody black wings to full length, letting her full wing span of 32feet spread accross the stage, then folded them back up behind her, a small trail of blood leaving itself where her wings were accross the edge of the stage. "I can always follow it back to you.."
One of her ears twitched as she heard the familair ring of a bell. "Joy..." She thougth in her head. Her blue eyes searched around and she saw her, and smell her as well with her keen sense of smell. She smiled over to her and nodded in greeting.

Finaly she ripped the edge of her shirt and made a bandage out of that. It did not stop the bleeding but it slowed it. Her noncut hand went into her bag and she pulled out her two tontos her heart was pumping and she needed to do something so it would stop. With a struggled from her cut hand she tyed her blades around her belt and pulled out her gun. Cocking it she held it in her off hand, she wouldn't be the best shot but at least it wouldn't hurt as much. Her dark eyes turned to the door and she placed the bandaged hand on it. Walking out of the band room her blade and hand dripping with blood she looked around, she was ready to fight anyone that talked badly or gave her a dirty look.

Scytheress stopped, turning to look over her shoulder. Dante should have something damn good to say otherwise she was going to finish her retreat out the door. One of her ears swivled to zero in on Susie's foot-steps and she caught the scent of a fox. However her sight remained on the man against the wall, eyes dropping to the bloodied hand as she restrained herself from licking her lips. Blood was not a good thing to have around her. As the other fox spoke Scytheress decided to take a seat, pulling the guitar back in front of her and beginning to play a bit of slower music to keep herself calm. It was quiet with out the amplifier but it was enough.
