Mondays

Monday dawns as Dante looks around his room. His stunt on Saturday had gained him attention however most of it was from entities outside of the school. Several companies wanted him to visit and share his knowledge of plants and beasts. He isn't sure why they feel he knows more than they do since he has only gone outside once in his entire life and that was recent. However mixed in with those, he smiles seeing gifts that came from those he now spends time with. Granted he is friendly with many but only counts a handful as actual friends.

Zezz is pacing back and forth as she waits on Xin. When she finally leaves the room Zezz shakes her head letting out a deep held sigh. "Well that was dodged, so now to the next problem." as Xin looks to her she motions "What is going to happen today after this weekend?"

Dante ducks low and swings up as he can feel the body give around his fist. Pushing harder he can feel the dull sensation of bones against his knuckles and twists his fist slightly. He drives it forward to the feel of the bones bending and snapping as his arm pushes past and the body is thrown away from him. Turning quickly he grabs the hand of the next one coming in and smiles as he twists his wrist while the sound of screams fill the air.

Zezz is getting up at this point, after being knocked down a moment ago from a kick to the side. She is holding it as Dante faces the group that jumped them. Seeing what is going on she double taps her watch signaling an emergency and their location. "Hold on Dante help is on the way!"

He narrows his eyes as he nods. "I will make up for you joining me to get breakfast today Zezz." Lifting his left arm up he blocks the staff but he feels his arm nearly give so he spins stepping closer. He sends a backhand out to meet the guy as the woman to his right grabs the swing. Dante steps up to her and sends a knee into her diaphragm as he swears he can hear the ribs ripping free of it.

She hits her knees as this isn't what they were told about. He was supposed to be an easy target and any with him were to be even weaker. Besides about the others with him, the rest of the information wasn't right. This guy was beating them and they came as a group! Looking up she sees his heel as it slams into her face as he keeps going until she sees nothing. He stomps to the ground and glares at the rest lifting his foot.

The woman with the chain looks to this and sees how he has now killed two of them without really showing anger, outside of the guy who kicked his companion, turns and starts to run. She feels as if some damned monster is behind her and runs until she gets all the way to her home. Panting heavily as sweat drips from her face she shudders. "Just what the hell is he?"

He swipes the projector from the table to hit the wall across the way as he paces back and forth. No person should be so damn calm about killing others, even if they attacked him! But this freak just kills without giving a damn and he swears he was smiling at times. "What will we do if they talk about who put them up to this?"

He glares at him before he motions. "Only one knew our faces and he stomped her head into the ground. We don't need to worry about that." he kicks the busted projector "I will kill him I swear!" The other three in the room glance between each other as they feel if it comes down to it, Dante isn't who will die.

Once they are done with the on-site questions they have gathered up the serial numbers for the cameras. After a quick look over the Patrollers way farewell to Dante and Zezz. Her partner steps up and looks to her as they look over the video. "That young man fights without restraint." as his partner nods they both watch them walking off "What could happen to make a person like that?"

Looking to her partner she shakes her head. "Honestly I rather not know what it took to turn a kid into that." she looks to the screen where she paused it and can see his eyes are less human and more beast when his friend was kicked "Whatever it took we best just report it and leave it alone."

They are heading back with the food as Dante is smiling and looking at one of the building ads across the way about a new waterpark. "You want to go there Dante?" he looks to her and smiles blushing some as she laughs "Oh, you were just thinking of seeing us in swimsuit is all huh?"

Dante blinks then flares up more as she laughs seeing this. "No I want to go but actually." he looks to her calming down as he shakes his head "I don't know how to swim." she blinks a few times and starts to laugh holding her sides "Oh come on really? It isn't like I have a lot of chances to learn or anything."

She calms down and smiles shaking her head. "No it is okay and sorry Dante." as he looks to her she smiles "I am so used to guys being one way, I didn't think for a moment you're hesitation was because you couldn't swim." he sighs as she smiles "No worries, we will teach you."

He looks to her a few moments and nods smiling as he looks forward. "I am very thankful that Xin has someone like you Zezz." as she looks to him curiously he smiles softly and keeps walking "I like her and doubt any can miss that but honestly you are better for her."

She lowers her head for several steps thinking about it and looks up nodding as she smiles herself. "You are rather unusual Dante." as he glances her way she waves a hand "You aren't going to even fight to claim her but acknowledge me instead." she shakes her head "Shouldn't you at least fight for her or something?"

Dante gets a quirk of a smile and looks to her. "Saying you wish to fight me for her Zezz?"

She glares at him and shakes her head. "Hell no damn it, I like life!" the two walk most of the way back laughing then in silence afterwards and as they reach near the gate she puts a hand on his forearm "I will be there for her and never break her heart Dante, I promise."

Dante looks to her a nods with a smile. "I know. That is why I trust you with someone so important to me plus count you amongst my few real friends."

Several look over and laugh seeing him carrying nearly everything while she has a single drink in her hands with a straw in it. Onya laughs and motions as others join in laughing as Zezz shrugs with a grin before taking the drink. Don waves in a few guys in the group start heading over to help distribute the food. Everyone relaxes on the tables or the ground by the large tree near him. "So Dante, I hear we are getting a special instructor this week to teach us in combat."

Dante looks over as he takes a bite of his sub and chews as they keep talking about who it might be. While none are wondering why after how last weekend went. Part way through breakfast Linda shows up again. With people more relaxed none really react to her like last time and she smiles to Dante. "Room for two more this morning?"

Dante motions around as he chews and others say the area is open for all. Sitting down as her friend sits next to her they look around. After a few moments she open up a bento between the two. "I am sorry we have been too busy to have a proper conversation before now Dante. I just want you to know I am here for you, as I have always been."

His hand rests on Onya before she can speak and everyone sees how he stopped her before she nods looking back to her. "If you want to talk to him do like everyone else does. Walk up and talk."

Dante has a smile as he nods and looks towards the others who had done just that. Now they hang out most days of the week. Looking back to Linda he blinks twice as he nods his head slowly, as the one with her moves behind her more covering her face with Linda's body. "So what can I do for you this morning, since we got a little time before classes start still?"

Linda nods her head and motions between herself and her friend. "I am here Dante with a friend of mine who wanted to say something to you." as she motions the girl pulls out an envelope holding it out as Dante moves and takes it softly from her "She is rather shy so I offered to help. However I do hope that we can get to know each other once more if you are willing to continue our friendship."

He sticks his sub into Xin's mouth as she goes to speak and looks to Linda smiling. "We will see, however as it stands I only count those that will step up and call out to me as those I will consider as friends. Our past was great before it went sour. However I won't hold you to that as everyone can change." looking to Onya as she smiles and leans against him laughing as he shakes his head "So if you become someone I can trust then you could become someone I call friend once more. otherwise I have no bad blood."

Linda nods her head and sighs some looking to him. "You used to be a lot softer Dante. I guess with what has happened, I shouldn't be shocked it changed you like this." she thinks a few moments and nods her head "Perhaps we could enjoy a meal sometime Dante?"

Zezz looks over to her and shakes her head with a rueful smile. "You likely will have a long wait as we all have standing dates with him for meals and such. So do several others who are not as close to him." Linda's eyes go wide as he was never so popular with the ladies before, while that was mostly her doing, the change is shocking. Looking back to Dante she now looks to the girl who keeps close to his side wondering just how close those two are and if she is who replaced her. "Onya is who he would risk his life for but not his girlfriend, just very personal."
