Some troubles grow

Dante tosses her on the bed as he heads past toward the bathroom panting heavily. He feels near boiling as he is under the shower fighting for air. "Holy crap I need to calm down." Looking up at the water he flips it to ice cold and scalding hot but nothing helps. It maybe made it worse as he is now walking out drying his hair. "Damn I wish I could."

She has been sitting on his bed red as hell but his scent is all over plus something else. She isn't sure about but it couldn't be that, could it?" She has never been in a guy's room before and looking around she sees heavy weights plus some weapons and others things around also she blinks seeing a lot of rope. She stares wondering why he needs so much rope and it looks like it might be chewed on.

The door opens as she drops the rope spinning around on the bed caught red handed then she stares at him. His words cause a slight sound to escape her throat as he slowly lowers the towel remembering he had baggage when he entered his room. Soon as their eyes meet she bolts for the door and he spins heading to the bathroom. Out in the main area she sees a few people come in. As they look over waving she doesn't know what to do.

Dante is back in his room fighting to calm down and Cora is now out looking to him as Sava is running around happily. "My mate you seem, eager." Dante looks up not needing this now "In your state, it likely would be painful. So tell me how did you get this way?"

Dante looks to her and thinks. Nope not going to share that and not with Cora! He looks and sees Sava paw open the door as he nearly screams but sadly, only Cora would understand. She opens it and bounds out with it wide open as he jerks Cora over. "Help cover me please!"

She moves and covers him as she nuzzles against him getting comfortable. "My sweet mate what has gotten into you today? So dominate!" Dante gives up, talking to her at times is not useful but at present he thinks and she uses her tail to shut the door.

Sava bounds around as instantly the room is alive with the sounds of voices as everyone flocks to the team mascot and local favorite fluffy plushy. Xin seeing a girl across the way looking like she got interrupted just before finishing and looks seeing Sava, she feels bad as she likely got scared by his wolf.

Xin walks over and smiles as she waves. "Hello I am Xin. You look a little out of sorts." Dalila looks to her and whimpers a little as she nods "Well if you want I can help slip you into whatever room you want."

As she smiles softly her eyes cast about the only door she knows she goes red knowing what is on the other side and shakes her head looking to this savior asking. "Um, is there any way you could help a girl out?"

She smiles and blushes a little before she thinks. "I can't but I know just who can help you and it is another girl, so no other worries right?" Dalila thinks and nods as right now, less issues the better "Okay head through that door. The one with the giant cobra head on it." Dalila shrugs and enters it hoping this works. Tabitha looks up and as Xin whispers the problem she laughs shaking her head before she heads off.

It is two hours later when Dante leaves his room. Looking around as he sees everyone mauling Sava and her joyful wagging tail he softens. Xin calls out as he heads her way and smiles seeing her and Zezz in the kitchen cooking. "I helped your friend out after she was scared by Sava." Dante blinks and now looks around as Xin smiles "Oh don't worry. She is relaxing with Tabitha after you two were interrupted."

Dante pales and shakes his head as she looks to him curious. "Xin my dear, that is my younger sister." as her and Zezz both jerk he sighs shaking his head "From the family I once was a part of but am no more." he looks around and smiles "I have a real family now after all."

Zezz looks over and grabs a towel cleaning her hands up. "I will go and rescue her from Tabitha for you Dante. You likely don't want to walk in on yet more people you know right?" he looks to her as she nods and heads off "Sorry but you are cute blushing!"

Xin puts a hand on his chest as he looks to her. "I will get her later for you Dante." he smiles as she nods "However you just cost me my assistant so mind helping?"

Zezz wakes her up as she groans asking for more and shakes her head. "Wake up miss, you have company who wants to see you." as she mutters about something else she shakes her head and slaps Tabitha on the backside as she bolts awake "Okay now help me. Dante wants to see her."

Tabitha walks out and waves to him as she walks over her hair still wet from the shower. "You are a monster." as he blinks she retells her time with her friend and Dante feels no hole is deep enough "She is damned obsessed with the God of Beasts." she giggles and pushes his shoulder "However Dante I am wondering something." he looks to her "When we go out next time. Can I hug one of your bigger siblings?"

Dante laughs some and nods his head. "I wouldn't see a problem with that but we will need to head further from the city. I don't want them to launch attacks on one of them." she nods as she grabs a pair of drinks from the fridge "Green not Yellow for her." she looks over and laughs swapping them out then heads off as Xin looks to him "Some things you don't forget to easily."

She rubs his back as he shakes some fighting to be calm while his mind and heart fight for control. She moves hugging him from behind and holds him without words as Zezz takes over stirring the pots. "You shared much with me Dante and I will be here no matter what." He nods softly as he turns in her arms as the pair hug Zezz now steps up and wraps him from behind.

Stan points over as several look and none know what is going on with those three. Looking back to the present issue he sighs as the damned animal is looking at him as he leaves the area. "Soon I will be the one she looks too. At that point, I will be free of your shadow."

Dante is smiling as he is now cooking and with four assistants as Erica has joined him plus Cory who wanted a drink was roped in. Most are shocked as he is cooking a different style than usual but none complain as the dishes are coming out hot and to order. Dalila exits the room after drying off and changing into some things she had. Tabitha pushes on her some and points. "He is in the kitchen so come on and get something to eat."

Dante is dancing some with Zezz as her task is the easiest, keep water boiling for noodles, and thus has free time. She looks to him and licks her lips as he purrs she shakes her head. "Oh stop you damn beast otherwise Xin will punish me." he laughs and dances more as she laughs out "Okay fine a little more dancing."

Xin looks over laughing and shakes her head. "Don't try to use me as an excuse if you can't control yourself." as people laugh she smiles "I give him permission." Her devilish grin causes Zezz to flare up and nearly trip.

Dante turns and spins her around laughing as he moves to the dishes where he resumes cooking. "Alright the sauté is done so Cory you ready?" Cory says he is a tool so please tell him what to do as Dante nods "Mix the blue pot in the red bowl and pour this over it then give a light toss before serving it."

She watches and smiles as he has become far better than he used to be. He now is directing the chaos so cleanly and the dishes look near pro. Her eyes widen as she sees almost every dish has meat. Looking up to him she freezes as his eyes are on her and she fidgets. "Hello Dante."

He smiles and motions as others move letting her forward. "I am doing up a few dishes. If you want something else say so and if possible, we will make it."

She looks up and blushes some as she goes to talk before she stops looking down. Looking forward as she hears a dish land on a counter her eyes widen. Her favorite is before her as she looks to him. "You remember."

Dante smiles some and nods. "No matter how things go, some things are never forgotten." she takes it sitting down as she starts to eat tears fall down her face and he holds out a cloth "Why don't you stay for the night? Can get you home tomorrow." she looks up and nods as she smiles "Good, now enjoy Dalila and stop worrying about the past. It is time to start living in the present and strive for the future."

She nods her head as she takes another bite smiling. "Yes big brother!"

The room all jerk and several call out shocked but none more than Tabitha after their time. She has a conflicted look on her face having told Dante things she thought was funny but now. She looks to him slowly as he has a slight smile and she just nods feeling better seeing him calm.

Cora comes out and looks around before moving up to lean overtop everyone as she opens her mouth. Dante moves as a large hunk of meat lands in her mouth. Everyone is frozen as she just towered over them all suddenly with the exception of Tabitha who is doing a full body snuggle rub down her side. Those in the kitchen are doing fine, unlike the rest, since she isn't over top of them.

She eats the first one than a second before she sways and hisses blissfully. "My mate you treat me so wonderfully. I needed rest and thank you for the food." He hisses softly as she wiggles.
