You were hiding behind the dumpster your heart beating rapidly in your chest. You grabbed your chest with your small hand clutching it praying that your heart doesn't jump out of your chest. You shook uncontrollably from the fear and adrenaline coursing through your veins. You were living on the streets since your parents died in a car accident 3 years ago and you have been living on the streets for the past year. You ran away from the orphanage you were living at because you figured that you had a better chance at surviving on the streets with the demons then you were at that place. Speaking of demons you were digging in the garbage for that sandwich you saw that guy dumped because it had mayo on it and he didn't like mayo. He didn't have to like it, you liked mayo and you would gladly eat it. When you got the sandwich you ran off to the side of a building and sat down beside the steps to munch happily on your sandwich. You were just about done with the sandwich when you heard a thud along with heavy breathing and you think a hissing sound. Curious you peaked over the edge of the step to your right and your eyes widen as you gave a eep sound. It was those Moth creatures! You must have made a loud sound because one turned in your direction their red glowing eyes focusing on you. You slinked down to the ground and crawled across the ground on all fours as quick as you can to the alleyway. You felt your heart in your chest as you heard feet against the ground and you moved quick hiding behind the dumpster. At the end of the alleyway it lead to another street and you think you could have made it but when you heard the hissing sound at the other end you knew you wouldn't make it. You stood as still as you possibly can praying to anyone who will listen that it will just go away and not attack you and eat you. You lived too long on the streets to just get killed and eaten by a moth creature. You waited hearing steps move away and you eased a bit thinking they left but too scared to move. You didn't want to move you really didn't something in your gut telling you not to, but you did anyway. You slowly moved your head to the side and quickly moved back seeing one of them still there but they had their back turned. You decided to try and move away from them staying glued to the wall using the shadows to your advantage. Everything was working well and you were close to the other end undetected but of course in your excitement you hit a garbage can making the lid fall. It turned around sharply and you knew it was time to run "Oh no." You got up and ran as fast as your little legs can carry you as the thing caught up rapidly with you. You screamed bloody murder tripping over an uplifted piece of the sidewalk. You curled into a ball waiting for excruciating pain but none of it came. You waited curled in the ball and then peaked an eye through your arms and your mouth dropped as you saw someone with a red jacket and white hair and a giant sword like weapon slicing the moth demon in half. You felt yourself shaking as said person turned to you and crouched down onto the ground with a smile to look at you.

"What's your name?" You were frozen in shock to answer at first but you were able to with a stutter

"Y-Y/N" After you said your name your world went black. The next time you came around you were in a familiar shop and you looked around and noticed that it was in fact Dante's shop. "Was the man who saved me from that creature Dante..." You heard a noise and speak of the devil, there goes said man 

"Glad to see that you're awake." He walked towards you with food on a tray with a glass of water for you "Are you hungry?" You felt your mouth drool as he chuckled and handed you the tray and you sat up in bed and started devouring the food. He watched you for a bit letting you get some of the food in your stomach "My name is Dante, I didn't get a chance to tell you when you fainted." You felt a slight blush cross your cheeks as you looked at him with a mouth full of food. 

"I'm 11. How old are you?" He tilted his head at you

"I'm 29." You smiled at him and nodded your head not looking back up at him until you finished all of your food. When you were done you looked up at him and he took the plate in one hand and extended his arm out to you "Come on, I want you to meet someone." You grabbed his arm and he lifted you up carrying you out the room and towards the main entrance of his shop Devil May Cry. That's where you saw a little girl around your age wearing a pink lacy dress with a bow in her hair with big blue eyes staring up at you. He put you down and you stared blankly at her as she simply smiled waving her hand at you. 

"Hey! My name is Patty Lowell and I'm 12 years old, what's your name and how old are you?" You gave her a hesitant smile liking her attitude already

"My name is Y/N L/N and I'm eleven years old." She smiled going up to you and hugging you before dragging you to a seat 

"Explain everything to her and show her what to clean around here if she wants to help you that is." You just looked at him before he disappeared to the outside world and then you turned your attention back to Patty. 

"Take a seat! I have a lot to talk about." You guys ended up talking for a long time and you really liked her. You can see yourself being here with her and Dante most of your time and you don't have to starve either. You didn't even notice Dante come back all he did was move quietly and smile at the both of y'all. 

(Time skip to a year.)

You were by yourself this time in the shop with Patty off somewhere doing something else and you were happily cleaning the shelves when you heard boots on the floor. You looked up to see Dante coming in and you smiled brightly at him hopping off the counter and running to him to give him a hug "Hey Dante!" He bent down to pick you up and he squeezed you lightly to him before putting you back down and ruffling your hair

"I see you've been cleaning the place up...It looks really good." You smiled brightly at him loving the praise from him 

"Thank you daddy-" You froze your eyes widening as you realized what you said. You glanced up at him and his face mirrored yours. You didn't know what to say or what to do or even how he would react and you couldn't think of anything to say.

"Do...you mean that Y/N?" You looked up at him confused and he had a sincere look on his face as he crouched down to your level

"I...You've been more of a father figure to me than my actual father..." You looked down scared of his reaction but looked up when he put a hand underneath your chin 

"Under one condition...Do you want to be my daughter?" You were dumbfounded for a minute and then it dawned on you and the biggest grin stretched across your face. You squealed jumping on him wrapping your arms around his neck

"Thank you so much...dad." He chuckled lightly and even though you couldn't see his face, his eyes teared up a bit and he was more than happy to take the role of being your dad.
