The duo had a pretty good plan for dealing with the hives but it was far from perfect. Tori’s own speed was something that should have been factored in as well as the immunity Dante offered while in his weapon form. Though all things considered it wasn’t too bad for their first NOT mission. Now Tori did do a good job of smashing all of the hives and setting Dante up to finish the job but they were just too slow. While Tori prepared her weapon for the toss the bees had time to set up their revenge.
If we’re being fair most of the bees started to leave as soon as the hive was destroyed. After a soul purge or sword destroyed the hive there wasn’t that much they could do so they simply left for the time. Others however were not so content with leaving their home’s destruction going unavenged. Those bees flew together and swarmed around Tori as she prepared to launch Dante into the air. As soon as the weapon left her hand they attacked her from all sides but mostly the back. The swarm attempting to sting the back of her head before moving for her face.
After getting a few stings off they stopped and hovered in the air. Tori could have used the time to try and get away as they seemed to have lost interest in her. They were waiting for Dante to land from his attack before continuing. When he did they went straight after him trying to land stings on his face and arms. A few put their effort into trying to sting near his eyes while others angrily buzzed around his ears. When he started to run the swarm followed him. The swarm of bees remained together and flew right behind the rapier as he ran. If they were quick and got away they could prevent any further stings but if not they had some nice swelling to look forward to after the mission was over.

Tori braced herself as she saw the bees come at her. Placing her hand up to cover the exposed part of her face she bit her lip stopping herself from letting out a scream as the bees strung her. She only pulled her hands away when they stopped and she could only wounder what they where doing. She found out pretty quickly when Dante landed and they went after him. She didn't have to be told twice as she started to run with Dante but the poor guy had more skin exposed then Tori did. She she ran she took off her coat and threw it over her weapons head keeping him safe from the stringing bees. "Here you might need this."
She ran as fast as her legs could carry but she was still slower then her weapon. Tori began to fling her arms around her head knock the bees away from her. "Blood Hell I'm covered in bees!" She would have to do something to get them off of her seeing as Dante would get to the door before her. Tori hated what she was about to do but it was the only thing she could think of at the moment. She pulled her arm up to her head again tucked and rolled getting the little basters off o her. She pulled off the ground giving herself more momentum.
She hated the fact that her legs wouldn't carry her any faster and she knew she was going to get more string from this mission. When she finely got threw the door she slammed it behind her breathing heavily from all the running. She glared to her weapon with her back still on the door. "BEES DANTE!! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO PICK BEES?!" The Brit pointed to her face and hands now. "You know these are going to swell up and we are going to look ridicules at school right?" She walked over to Dante now and checked him over. "But you're okay right? They didn't get you too bad did they?" It was a sudden changed from her yelling at to her being suddenly concerned about him.

Well, the protection of his Weapon form had been great while it lasted. No sooner had Dante landed on the ground then the stinging barrage of what felt like a thousand angry bees was upon him. Of course there probably weren’t actually a thousand, Dante was just being overly dramatic. He was Italian, he couldn’t help it. He knew bees tended to just get angrier and angrier the more you swatted at them, but there was no way in hell he was just going to sit there and let himself get stung. Wincing, the blonde batted away the nasty things stinging at his arms, stumbling rather than running like he really wanted to. Pain was such a bitch of a distraction; he couldn’t even make his feet move properly at the moment.
If he’d thought stings to the arms hurt, well then he was in for a very unpleasant surprise at the bees also went right for his face. Why the face? Why did it have to be his face, anywhere but his face! It was a bit late to be thinking like that though. While the bees didn’t sting him in the eyes, they got damned close and it certainly felt like horrible stingers were burrowing into his eye sockets. TO make matters worse, the buzzing in his ears was deafening. He couldn’t hear himself think, but he managed to start running, taking off after Tori. The swarm distracted him, though, and the stinging did slow him down.
Oh, bless his partner! If he’d known she was going to toss her jacket over his head, he’d have yelled at her not to. He’d rather take the brunt of the bees’ fury than have Tori get stung any more than she already was, but it was a bit late for that so complaining would probably make him seem ungrateful which was, of course, untrue. Dante kept his Meister’s jacket over his ears mainly, trying to drown out the buzzing and managing to keep running towards the shop. Hopefully it’d keep them out of his face for a bit too. Of course this also meant that Dante could only see what was right in front of him and didn’t notice that he’d passed Tori. Then again the Brit had also decided to roll away from the bees to try and get away faster, so there was also that.
In spite of all that, the blonde practically threw himself through the door before slamming it shut, Tori following quickly behind him. Dante sighed in relief to be inside, tilting his head back and reaching up to remove Tori’s jacket from covering his ears. Of course she was more than livid with him now, which was perfectly understandable. Wincing slightly, he closed one eye and hunched his shoulders while she yelled at him,
“Yup, I’m definitely an idiot, you can even write as much on my forehead if you want.”
That would be punishment enough, right? Granted that may also be a bit much, writing ‘Idiot’ on his forehead considering he was already covered in bee stings. He nodded slightly at her statement about the horrible and no doubt painful swelling that would happen to the stings as well if only to show that he was listening to her. Of course as soon as she was done berating him, she then switched to being worried. Dante shrugged his shoulders and gave her a grin,
“I’ll be fine. It’s just a couple of stings, nothing to get too worried over.”
As he said this, he was still keeping his right eye closed. Originally he’d done so because Tori was yelling at him, but now he actually was feeling the pain from a sting almost directly by his right eye. Keeping it closed felt better than trying to open it so he didn’t try. He could figure out what to do later, especially since his mother would no doubt fuss over every single bee sting one he got home. Handing Tori her jacket, the blonde looked her over as well,
“What about you? “

The bees gave chase after the students for as long as they could. Every so often the odd bee may get close enough to sting one but mostly they only managed to bump into the running students. Buzzing after them anyway the bees were intent on getting their revenge for the destruction of their hives. Unfortunately for them the students were just a bit too fast and managed to get inside the ice cream shop before the swarm could attack them more. Buzzing in an anger induced frenzy outside the door for a minute the swarm eventually gave up and dispersed to join the other refugee bees.
Now safely inside the ice cream shop the NOT students could rest after running away from the bees. Tired and stung they may have been but they did complete their mission in the end. After slamming the door they two were allowed a few minutes of solitude to recover from their last minute sprint for the door. After a few minutes had passed the sound of footsteps could be heard approaching them but still a ways off from the backroom that the NOT students were in. Soon though the shop door opened and Ernesto walked into the back room.
”Oh my, you two certainly look like you had a difficult time. Not the fastest I’ve seen the bees taken care of but pretty good for a first time. Now how about I get you two some ice cream before you go?” Without waiting for an answer Ernesto turned and headed out of the backroom and into the front of the shop to be ready to prepare some ice cream for the students before they left and he informed Shinigami of their success on the mission. Plus now he didn’t have to worry about the bee problem scaring away his customers.

"Well I'm glad you are all right because when I get done with you are you are going be wishing for the bees!"
She raised her hand up as though to hit him but seeing him still have this eye closed do to the pain she lowered her fist. There wasn't much point in hitting her weapon what good would that bring the both of them. She had to learn to let things good, like letting go of the fact that because of Dante she was covered in bees. She placed her hand on her hips now not looking at Dante.
"I'm not going to hit you and yeah I'll be all right. I was mostly covered so I didn't get a lot of stings. I'll live."
Tori attention then turned to the owner of the ice cream shop. She couldn't help but be a bit proud of her and her weapon now. They did a good job even if they did get the shit stung out of them but it was a growing experience. How getting stung by bees was going to help them? Tori had no idea but she was sure in the long run she would see why they took this mission. At the mention of getting ice cream Tori smiled at the older man.
"Thank you sir that would be lovely. I am all right with just some vanilla ice cream."
It wouldn't help stop the pain what was rushing threw the miester body right now but at lest it would teats good. Tori reached over to Dante and gave him a little pat on the back smiling at him.
"You did good Dante. One day we will look back on this and laugh, not now though. If you bring this up at school I will punch you. Got it?"
Well it's not like you can ask for a miracle that Tori would change in one mission but it was a good start. She was learning to trust Dante and it might take some time but she would let him get closer to her. Let herself be able to trust him more.

Dante had anticipated that he was going to get punched at least once by his Meister. Given her tendency to be a bit prickly even on her best days, the Brit wasn’t exactly gentle and so the Italian merely hunched his shoulder and shut his eyes again to brace for the impact of her fist colliding with where she saw fit to give him a bruise. However she surprised him. The hit never came and apparently it wasn’t going to. Opening the eye that wasn’t threatening to swell shut at some point, Dante relaxed a bit and smiled at her. It was good she wasn’t hurt too bad. It was also lucky that neither of them seemed to have a bee allergy as that would have been disastrous.
The blonde had fully intended on buying his Meister ice cream after the mission was over to make up for the whole covered in bees thing, but it seemed the owner of the shop was going to be kind enough to give them some anyway for their hard work. Apparently they also did good work, even if they weren’t the fastest team to have done so. Dante would have loved to see a team that was so fast they didn’t get stung if only to see if it could actually be accomplished but that was beside the point. Dante kept the somewhat pained grin on his face and bowed his head a bit as he spoke to the shop owner,
“Anything remotely close to coffee in flavor would be much appreciated. Grazie mille.”
Ice cream may indeed make the stings that were slowly starting to throb seem not all that bad. Then again they would probably hurt more later when they started to swell. Dante could already hear his sisters jeering at him for it. The blonde managed a chuckle at his Meister’s words and gently nudged her in the side with an elbow,
“You weren’t too bad yourself, Tori. I promise I won’t breathe a word.”
Then again Dante could help but think that the results of having been covered in bees during this mission would be quite evident for at least a few days, but he supposed he ought to keep his mouth shut anyway just for good measure. The important part was that they’d gotten the hives down and worked together in order to do say. In Dante’s opinion, they’d done pretty damn well for their first mission together, even if they were still only NOT students.

Ernesto returned to the front of the shop after hearing the student’s request. Still the shop remained mostly empty with just the odd few people daring to brave the bees inside. Outside the buzzing could already be heard starting to fade. The bees would be back, they always came back, but for now there would be a nice period of time without them. Plus whenever they came back another pair of NOT students would be called in to take care of them. They got the mission experience and Ernesto was rid of the bees, everyone got what they wanted in the end. When the two students came out from the backroom Ernesto began to prepare the ice cream. Pulling out a cone he filled it with the desired flavor of the students. Two scoops of vanilla in one and two scoops of coffee in the other. Deciding not to add anything else as they had not asked for it he simply walked over to the team and handed them their respective ice cream cones. ”And here you go~” With that out of the way he returned to his seat behind the counter in case any more customers arrived. ”Now then thank you two for taking care of those bees. I will contact Shinigami right now to let him know that you completed your mission. Good luck on your next one~”Waving to the students as they left Ernesto turned around and reached for the phone to do as he said. One NOT mission taken care of for the team.
