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."
