When Aurora woke from her daydream, she realized that they were still driving at high speeds only now they were speeding through the forest on a trail. While Aurora watched the trees go by, she felt Dante tense up.
When they finally arrived at a clearing Aurora was surprised by the house sitting in the middle by a river. On the front porch there was a white tiger something she mentally questioned but said nothing about. Dante quietly got off Cavalire and quickly followed by Aurora as he unsummoned Cavalire and walked towards the house. The tiger looked up to see Dante and gave a gruff sound and did nothing else, seeing that it wasn't aggressive Aurora let her guard down some but was still wondering what was going on and followed Dante inside.
Inside the house Dante took off his jacket and put it on a hook by the door and walked through a doorframe into a kitchen and turned on a pot that almost instantly boiled some water that Dante poured into some tea bags to let steep. Walking away Dante made his way to the living room where he sat down on the couch. Aurora got nervous because throughout their entire time here Dante has yet to utter a single word.
Aurora: "Master. Um…Why are we here?"
Dante: "…I wanted to be somewhere I could think clearly without the noise of my busy life. I brought you here for two reasons. One is because for some reason you calm me down with your presence which is ironic considering your past behavior…"
Aurora didn't say anything because she could see the tremendous guilt in Dante's eyes.
Dante: "…My second reason is to apologize for what I did to you Raynare and Kalawarner. I took away your names, forced you to be my slaves, then destroyed your wills by ravishing you. I am a horrible person. Honestly if I didn't have a promise to keep, I may have let you kill me after I came to my senses. If you and Kalawarner wish to leave and retain your former names I will not stop you, I will even have my uncle reinstate you into Gregori should you wish. If you and Kalawarner wish to curse, slap, punch, cut, stab, impale, or do anything else to me I fully understand. If this isn't enough I can…"
Aurora: "STOP!!"
Aurora's outburst shocked Dante.
Aurora: "Stop, just stop. Please stop. Adalynn and I decided a while ago that we solely belong to you master."
Dante: "You don't. I have no right to own you."
Aurora: "And that is the reason you do have the right. Even when offered to keep us you turn around and ask if we wish to leave. During my service under you I have had some time to reflect on my past actions making me realize that no matter what I did I would have never been satisfied. Even after you 'broke' us you didn't discard us, nor did you harm us. You gave us a home, a purpose, and love, even if it was only through sex. We have felt more fulfilment with you then we ever did alone."
Dante: "Sigh* Alright then. But do keep in mind that my offer will forever stand, should either of you wish to leave you don't have to say anything and can simply do as you wish."
Aurora: "Of course…master. Although I do have a question."
Dante: "What is it?"
Aurora: "Why did you only bring me? Why didn't you bring both of us?"
Dante: "That's because wherever you go Adalynn follows. So, you are the only one I truly needed to ask. I also wanted to show you this place."
Aurora: "What is this place?"
Dante: "This is a replication of my house I lived in with my mother. I have an alter for her in the room that used to be hers."
Aurora: "Also what is with the tiger?"
Dante: "That would be Byakko. She is the guardian I placed here after rescuing her from some stray devils that were slave traders."
Aurora: "Slave traders? I thought they only took people not animals, I thought those were poachers?"
Dante: "Byakko is a descendant from the mythical tiger of the west from the Chinese pantheon. When I was younger, I raised her like my sister, then after a while she went with Kuroka and explored to her hearts content. When she isn't here then I send one of my weapons to be guardian, this also serves as her home whenever she wishes."
Aurora: "Why doesn't she just live with you master?"
Dante: "Chuckle* That's because she hates Azazel to the core. Apparently, he was the person buying her to dissect for his research, and since she could possibly kill him if his guard was down, I keep her as far as possible from him."
Aurora: "Where is here by the way?"
Dante: "We are currently in Aso-kuji national park around 12 miles from Taketa in Oita."
Aurora: "What! How? That's over 1300 miles from Kouh!"
Dante: "Cavalire tops out at 600 mph. So, it didn't take that long, roughly an hour to get here. I came here to talk to you in private and so that I could check on Byakko. Speaking of which, BYAKKO!"
Byakko came in shortly after his call,
Byakko: "Yes Dante?"
Dante: "How have you been, its been almost 3 years since I last saw you."
Byakko: "I have been doing fine, Kuroka stopped doing missions that needed more than one person and I didn't feel like doing any, so I have just been doing my alternate job which is resting here. Since I can hunt here, I don't have to worry about food, and if I need something that I can't hunt I just go into town and buy it with the money I've saved up."
Aurora: "How does a tiger just walk into a human town to by things?"
Byakko: "For one of Dante's maids you sure are slow, of course I don't go into town like this. I'm a talking tiger and you really don't think I have a human form?" before Aurora could reply Byakko started to give off a shine before her form seemed to mold her form stood on its hind legs and the bones readjusted and the arms that faced forward molded to hang at its waist, after the body was molded it slimed down to give the form of a person. After the shine went away Byakko was standing 5'6 with pearl white skin, black hair, and golden eyes with cat slits, firm d-cup breast, a firm ass, and naked.
Dante: "Put some clothes on, I told you before that I have no sexual interest in you just like Kuroka. I see you both as younger siblings rather than partners."
Byakko: "You're no fun." Not saying anything else Byakko used magic to form clothes.
Aurora was somewhat shocked seeing a massive tiger turn into a girl whose beauty rivaled her own.
Aurora gave a look at her phone and saw that it was 20:45 (A/N: 8:45 p.m.) and said, "Master it is late, I believe we should be heading home soon."
Dante gave a look at his phone and saw that she was right.
Dante: "Alright, I guess we'll be going then."
Byakko: "Wait!"
Dante: "What is it?"
Byakko: "I want to come with you."
Dante: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO. I am not dealing with you trying to kill my uncle, also if you come then that means Kuroka will soon follow, so request denied."
Byakko: "I promise to behave. Please! *Pleading face*"
Seeing her pleading face Dante took serious damage and caved,
Dante: "Fine. But you are sleeping in your own room, no exceptions. Am I clear?"
Byakko: "Yes!"
Dante: "I hope I don't regret this. Alright, since Cavalire already got some exercise I'm just going to teleport."
Without saying anything else Dante took out Yamato and opened a portal to his room which they all walked through, and they were greeted by a young woman with black hair and black cat ears and tail sniffing one of Dante's shirts and calling out his name while touching herself.
Dante: "God damnit Kuroka! Why are you here!?"
