~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Ashton was in shock. Dante was going to strip clubs when he had a girlfriend at home?! And to add insult to injury he asked her to go home with him!

"Oh that fucking-" She growled out before reaching to grab the door handle.

Lady was a little confused. Who was this girl and what did she want with the idiot inside of the shop? Before she could ask her anything Ashton was already in action. She angrily twisted the door handle and pulled the door open before storming inside. "DANTE!!" She shouted over the blasting music. Lady got agitated. That girl had the nerve to ignore her! "Hey! What do you want with Dante?" She grabbed Ashton by the shoulder to stop her.

Ashton turned to face Lady. "Listen. I gotta give this guy something back. We did something we shouldn't have and I can't take this money from him." Ashton reached into her pocket and pulled out the three-hundred dollars. "This money doesn't feel right. In my predicament I need this money but I'd rather make it honestly." Ashton said the last bit with clenched teeth. Her hands started to shake. She REALLY needed that money. Every little bit helps and that three-hundred would be exactly what she needed.

Lady looked at Ashton. She looked like she was about to either cry or scream. Feeling sympathetic she pulled Ashton to a nearby couch and sat her down. "Sit down and relax."

Lady went to Dante's desk picked up the remote that controlled the stereo and clicked it off. The place was finally silent.

"What the HELL!" A voice shouted from the back. Lady rolled her eyes at Dante's shout and focused on the turmoiled girl in front of her.

"What do you mean by something you shouldn't had done?"

Ashton took in a deep breath and told her everything that happened. Everything. Whole life story.

Lady sighed when she finished her sob story. The girl was a stripper who was just trying to make due with what she had. It didn't help that she was the only one in her house working. Her brother was too young to have a job, her Mother was too sickly to work anymore, and her Father had died several years ago. And on top of that she had another job on the side and was attending a rather prestigious Ballet Company in the nicer part of the City. The girl could barely keep the bill collectors at bay and every cent of her money was used for things that was needed. And then there was Dante. He played hard ball, teased Ashton with money, and she did what she could to earn it. She wasn't expecting Dante to actually feel her up and kiss her. And the fact that Dante did that to the girl pissed Lady off.

"Dante get your lazy ass in here right NOW!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the bathroom Dante had finally caught his breath until he heard his music shut off. Only one person did that when they came into the shop which meant...

"Fuck."

Lady was here. Of all the people to show up at his door this time of night. It had to be her. Dante cleaned himself off with a wet rag and looked in the mirror to see if he missed a spot. There was nothing more embarassing that walking around with jizz on your face with out you knowing. He needed to change his clothes. Dante rushed into his nearby bedroom and grabbed a dirty white t-shirt with stains all over it and a pair of ragged blue jeans. He didn't want Lady to figure out what he had been doing and on top of that he didn't need to dress up if she was around.

"Dante get your ass in here right NOW!!"

Where does she get off on ordering him around? So Dante took his sweet time in getting changed. He didn't like being ordered around like he was some kind of dog. Slowly he took off his pants and folded them. Now that was something he never did. By the time he was done getting dressed several minutes had already passed. He knew Lady will be beyond agitated. So to draw out the minutes Dante slowly trecked to the door that lead to the front of the building. 'I'll show her to order me around in my own home.'

Lady was pacing back and forth. Dante was taking his sweet ass time. He knew that shit pissed her off and it was just adding to the anger she felt for Dante.

"Excuse me Lady? Is Dante your boyfriend or something?"

Lady stopped pacing and stared at Ashton. The girl looked so serious and Lady suddenly started laughing. She doubled over and continued to laugh. Ashton looked confused.

'What the fuck is so funny?' She thought to herself watching the demon huntress laugh. "Well?"

Lady finally stopped laughing and she stood there breathing hard. "HELL NO!!" She gasped out. "There is no way I'll date that smelly, pizza eating, smug bastard!"

"Aww I love you too honey."

Lady and Ashton looked at Dante. He was leaning against the door frame with his arms folded and a smug look on his face.

Ashton felt like her heart was about to stop. He was so damned handsome and he was wearing dirty worn in clothes. He looked natural and so cool. She almost forgot how angry she was before.

Dante noticed Ashton sitting on his couch. 'What's she doing here?' From the way she was looking at him; he could tell that something bad was about to happen.

Lady pulled out her handgun and fired at Dante point blank at his head. Ashton covered her ears and quickly ducked. She had never heard a gunshot up close like that and it hurt her ears. Dante hardly had time to react to the shot and he ducked as the bullet whizzed past his head and lodged itself into the door.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"Of all the dispicable things..." she growled as she shot at him again. The bullet lodged into Dante's shoulder and he fell out of sight. Ashton stood up and grabbed Lady's arm quickly.

"STOP!!!" She shouted. Lady took her finger off of the trigger and looked at Ashton. Her face was pale and her lower lip was shaking. "Don't kill him..."

Ashton let go of her arm before quickly making her way over to Dante who was steadily swearing and clutching his bloody shoulder. Lady put the gun away with a flick and folded her arms disappointed that Ashton had ruined her fun.

Ashton knelt before Dante and grabbed his good shoulder. "Oh my God are you okay?!" She quickly went to work trying to rip his shirt to make a compress for his wound.

Dante looked up at her and noticed the worry in her eyes. "Don't worry about it babe." He pulled his hand away. The bullet was being pushed out of his body and the wound was quickly healing up. Ashton froze. 'What the hell?' She thought as her eyes widened. "What's going on?" she asked scooting away from him quickly.

Dante's wound closed up and he rubbed it for a second before standing up. He made his way over to her and knelt before her. "It seems like we both have secrets. You tell me yours and I'll tell you mine."

Ashton stared at him with wide eyes. And then she sighed. Ashton reached up and touched the top of her head and tugged downward. The curly black wig she wore to hide her identity from anyone who might recognize her slid off of her head. It was Dante and Lady's turn to have wide eyes. She also pulled off the stocking cap she kept on her head to reveal her extremely short hair.

"Wha-" Dante started before Ashton cut him off. "My mom lost her hair during Chemotherapy...so I cut off all my hair so that she didn't feel left out." She ran her fingers through the boy short locks and ruffled it around. "I don't want her to know that I'm a stripper. It would shame her and my family . I wear this thing..." She shook the wig slightly, "to hide myself from everyone."

Dante snorted. "I thought you said you had no shame about being a stripper. You were going to hold your head up high. Where's that passion I seen in your eyes earlier?"

"My passion is for dancing, Dante. It will always be there. I was born with the passion for Dance. Look up Isabel De Santigo. She...My Mother was a Ballet dancer in Spain and was among the best. It's in my blood Dante..." Ashton looked up at Lady. "Lady."
Dante looked up at Lady and she nodded at him. "If you're really the daughter of some hot shit Ballet dancer...why don't you show us. If you pass our judgement...I'll tell you everything you want to know about me."

Ashton 's mouth opened and shut before she spoke up. "Wh-what?"

Dante held his hand out. "Prove to us that you're worth something."
Ashton could feel doubtful words rise to her lips and she quelled them as best she could. This was her chance.
She looked at his hand and then up into his sparkling blue eyes.

"Well?"

Ashton took his hand and said in the most sure voice she could muster. "I'll do it, but I have a request." And with that Dante pulled her up and she was suddenly on her feet. "If I do this...I'll miss my bus home. Will you be able to either let me stay the night or drive me home?"

"It depends on what you want. But I'll take you home if you want me to."

Ashton nodded.

"I need to change into my leotard and slippers."

So what did you guys think? Too much Mary Sue-ness? I'm trying to make her as unperfect as possible and her life as depressing as possible. I want to make Dante a much needed distraction from her otherwise hectic life. We'll see how the next chapter goes out with her dancing. I hope I impress people because I've been reading up on ballet and watching it everyday.

Reviews please!!! ^_^
