Hey guys,

This is my Devil May Cry fic, I hope you all enjoys. I am still writing Intoxication however there is only a few chapters left in the that one. Also my Captain America one I'm still doing that one to but writers black has me stumped at the moment. I'm still trying to find a new editor so you'll have to suffer with errors for a bit (maybe forever I hope not), but I think I got most of them. Hugs and Kisses please comment.

Sweet Blasphemy

Chapter 1: His Hangover

She stood gazing out the front window, his heavy boots echoing on the stairs outside. The creak of the heavy door and then his entry to the room. She turns to face him, lifting her dark lashes, to reveal eyes he could have drowned in. "How long have you been standing there?" His husky voice asked.

"Not long. Just waiting for you, hoping you would come home safe." Her smile was sad as she looked at him.

"I always do, Aurora."

"I know, but I still worry."

"I'm home now you can come away from the window." He breathed stepping towards her.

"You don't understand," She whispered as he laid his hands on her shoulder, "Every time you leave, every time you walk out that door I wonder... I wonder if you'll come back home to me."

"Why wouldn't I?" He asked nuzzling her neck.

"Because…..because you might fall in that hell where your brother is, where your father lived, and because you could be lost to me."

He looks at her now, his face soft despite the masculine hard features. He had grown a bit of a shadow around his jaw. "Never."

"Don't say that." She says; her whisper loud in the room.

"Do you want me to prove to you again how much I want you? How I'll never leave you?"

She gasps at his kiss, his hard blue eyes roams over her face, her neck, collarbone and down to the soft décolletage he enjoys looking at. Every night.

"It's not because you'll leave me, Dante." Her eyes fill with moisture.

He stared at her, watching her lips part, and thinking how he misses her. Yesterday, tonight and tomorrow. "Then what?" Sometimes he didn't understand women, nor would he ever, but that's just it. He loved them. He respected them. He respected her.

"It's because I might leave you someday."He's puzzled now."I don't understand."She fades from his vision. He could feel his body shake. Not by temperature or anger. Every night, when he came home, she was waiting by the window. He was trying so hard to hold on to her memories. He tried to say something different each night.

Dante could feel her heart next to his. She was there. Touching his face with her fragile hand, she touches her cold lips to his. "Dante…." She whispered his name. "I love you…" The confession reaches in his soul, his heart squeezes. His mouth goes dry as her arms wrap around him."Tell me you love me."

"I do….god, I do." His words were shaky.

"Tell me."

"I love you."

"I'll come back to you tomorrow." She breathed.

He shuts his eyes tight, "No."

Her face is surprised now. "No?"

"You're a ghost. A spirit. I can't just let you come back into my life this way." A tear rolls down his cheek.

She reached for it, watching the crystal salty substance fall through. "I thought a devil never cries."

"I lied. I'm selfish. I'm not a hero. I'm nothing like my old man."

"Yes. Yes you are." She caressed the side of his face with her transparent hand.

"If I were, I'd have saved you. I should have sacrificed my own life, like my old man did for my mother." He's confessed this to her many times. She listened to him patiently."If I hadn't been so selfish, keeping you to myself, loving you so much…." He chokes the words out. Words that have been said a thousand times. "I never told you, never because I've got such a big fat ego, you see. I think I'm this big shot, but I'm not." Tears rolling down his cheeks. "If I hadn't been foolish….if I hadn't been reckless…if I had told you I loved you.."

She places her fingertip on his lips, "If that's what you want, Dante, I'll never come back." He wants to tell her no. He wants to tell her to keep coming back.

"God, Aurora, I'm sorry…" His tears blind him now and with that she's gone. A chill went through him. "I promise you, Aurora, I promise to find every demon and kill them." The whisper of promise fell on deaf ears as the silence answered him. He secretly hoped she'd come back but he knows she won't.

Dante sat bolt upright in bed, his skin was slicked with cold sweat, and his heart rate was elevated. He had had that dream again, the dream where she was a ghost, that he hadn't been able to protect her.

"Tony, darling come back to bed." The woman that lay naked in the bed next to him snaked her arm around his waist.

It was bad to say that he couldn't remember her name, or most of the night that they had shared. He looked down at her, she was pretty but a stereotypical pretty. Her black hair hanging limply over her over tanned skin. She'll be gone in the morning… He thought laying back down. To say the least those dreams freaked him out, and were causing him to lose sleep, I probably just need a break, I think I might just stay home and relax tomorrow… His thoughts didn't finish before sleep over took him again.

"You ass hole, you son of a bitch. I thought that night actually meant something to you."

"Ouch, hey, that's my… hey…"

Aurora heard the yelling before she saw the very disgruntled, partially dressed woman coming down the stairs.

"Had a great time."

"Oh shut up." She yelled back up the stairs, as she pulled open the door. The girl smiled at Aurora before leaving. "Bye."

Aurora just waved at her.

"Don't let the door hit you on the way out babe!" Dante yelled coming down the stairs.

"Up to your old tricks I see." Aurora looked over the top of her glasses at him from where she sat in his chair.

He was wearing just his boxers, and a pair of jeans; his belt hung loosely from the loops. "Shut up." He snapped at her, as she got up.

She walked away from him her bare feet barely making a sound on the floor. She was use to his routine, considering she had been under his care for 18 months now. He'd come home from a mission, shower shave, and go to the local bars, drink pick up a girl come home fuck her and then in the morning, Aurora would make breakfast for the girl let them use her hair products and other bathroom items if needed and send them on their way all before he had even opened his eyes. She looked back at Dante. He was worse for wear; scratch marks from the gel nails lined his back and lipstick covered his neck. His head was down on his arm, resting on the desk.

"Here, drink up and take this, it'll get rid of the headache." She put a glass of cold water and a bottle of Advil down on the desk next to him. He peaked over his arm at it as she pulled a chair up next to him. She grabbing his left arm she began to scrub the writing off. "So you didn't tell her your real name again, I take it." She said taking the damp cloth and scrubbing harder at the black ink.

"Why do you care?" he asked harshly.

"Because, you're supposed to looking after me Dante or did you forget about the contract with my parents. Until the demon attacks stop you're to protect me. I don't want you ending up dead." She answered hitting him hard with the wet cloth.

"You're parents have been dead for a year now, just let it go. I'm only letting you stay here because you wouldn't survive out there in the real world." he snapped at her.

His words hurt, she knew never to dig into his life especially when he was hung-over so why did she do it now. She stood up and threw the rag on the table. "Fuck you Dante. See if I care if you come home tonight." She turned on her heel and walked towards her room that was tucked just back behind the stairs.

He just stared after her, he was into much pain to care at the moment about what she thought. He hadn't had a hangover headache in a long time and this one was defiantly killing him. The door to the shop opened, and in walked Lady, "Morning, where's Shorty?"

"In her room or something, can you not be so loud…" He breathed, putting his head back down on his arms.

"Somebody is hung-over." She laughed.

"Shut up, or I'll shut you up." Dante mumbled pulling out his gun.

"Oh you wouldn't, why is she in her room? Is she ready we're supposed to be going for lunch today." Lady looked around the room. By the looks of things Dante had made her mad again, and she had stormed off.

"Like hell if I know I just got up." he leaned back in his chair and ran a hand over his face.

"You know Dante girls her age get hurt easily you might want to be a little sweeter when you're around her, and try to be a little more mature. Woman like that in a man."

"What girls her age. She's 21, by all right's I should kick her ass out to the curb and let the demons have her. It's not like I'm getting paid to look after her and make sure she survives or anything anymore. Her parents are dead, my contract is bust, and she doesn't do anything around here anyways."

"Dante… be nice, she cooks for you and cleans, and…" Lady stopped herself before she mentioned the fact that Aurora was working most nights (much to Dante's disapproval) to avoid seeing him with other women and to pay off his large debt load.

Lady has a point, but I mean she brings it on herself. He heard the door behind him open, and he looked around to see Aurora standing there. She didn't look at him.

"Hey Lady," She smiled walking up to her and hugging her.

"Hey, let's go." She smiled, "See you later Dante." Lady waved at him as they left.

Aurora didn't even say good bye, that's odd. Did I really hurt her that badly? He thought staring at the closing door. She hadn't even made him breakfast before leaving. He just sighed and let his head fall back against the chair. "I know I'm tough on her, but what do you expect me to do caudle her? That's really not my style, please I've never really had a young lady live with me before." He ran a hand over his face, this was going to be a long day.

"So what did he do to make you mad now?" Lady asked starting the car.

"The usual being himself."

"Oh, you know if you wanted you could always come stay with me if you get feed up with him." Lady smiled at the young girl next to her.

"I know and thanks for the offer but every time I try to leave I end up feeling guilty, I know he doesn't need me to take care of him and what not but really the last 18 months of my life he's all I've known." She answered, she knew she needed Dante.

"I know he saved you're life but he's an ass, I love him like a brother but he's an ass."

"Lady, I need him."

"Aurora," she stopped the car in the parking lot of the restaurant. "I know you think you need him but you really don't. When was the last demon attack?"

"Two months ago."

"See the attacks are getting less and less, you don't need him, you're just so use to him that you think you need him. You're a strong independent woman. I mean come on you work at one of the roughest bars in town, the girls have to wear masks so no one recognizes them, and you hold your own there. Dante doesn't know and he doesn't need to know. You're 21 you've got a lot of life left don't spend it moping around Devil May Cry." Lady smiled at her.

"Lady, there is more to it…"

She stopped and turn to look at the girl, she knew where this was going even though she didn't like it she knew what was going to come out of her mouth. "No, no, no, don't say it, I don't want another heartbroken because of him." They both got out of the car.

"Nothing I do is ever good enough, no matter how I dress or what I cook he never notices." If Lady could've she would've face palmed at the very moment. It was too late the girl had fallen for the damn devil. She put her arm around the girls shoulders, "You listen to me and you listen good. I've been down that road, you don't want to go there, there is nothing but hurt that way. You're a pretty girl, and if I was a guy I would date you, Nero would even date you he's told me that himself, but please don't go after Dante. For your own sanity don't go after him. He'll chew you up and spit you out like a cat with a mouse. He only likes girls who are the one night stand type. He's never had a relationship that lasted over a week, a girl lets herself go just one day and that's it he's done with her." Lady explained as they walked into the restaurant.

Aurora could see Trish waiting there for them, she got up as they approached and hugged her. "You're talking about what Dante does to women aren't you." Her cool tone swept through the air.

Lady nodded, "Please try and talk sense into her, because I can't, it just makes me mad to."

Trish crossed her legs, and looked at Aurora, "She's his type with a little bit of work, not personality wise or body wise but fashion wise. I personally don't think you need any but from his point of view he'd probably think so, but they'd be cute together. I mean I've slept with him I know how good he is, even if he does use you for a one night stand he's worth it."

Lady just looked at Trish, the one woman she thought could fix the problem was only giving Aurora more reason to go after him. She shook her head and dropped it in to her hands.

"Hey don't you shake your head at me, I'm not one to discourage her, she like my little sister, I'd kick his ass if he hurt her, but hey she might be able to straighten him out." Trish turned her attention back to Aurora, "Look Hun, yes he can be an ass hole but I know you've seen that once in a blue moon sweet caring side of him, right." Aurora just nodded. "Now Dante is kind of a funny character see because he never really grew up with someone to teach him how to treat women, the ones he doesn't care about he treats them like crap, his throw away whores, and the ones he does care about he keeps at a distance so he doesn't hurt them. I know he cares about Lady and I, but we don't have feelings for him."

"Okay, but I'm just a job to him…" Aurora looked down at her menu, this whole conversation was making her depressed.

"Aurora, he's letting you stay with him even after the payments stopped coming that's got to count for something." Trish smiled at her and took her hand, "Don't worry you know we're here for you if things don't work out."

"I know." She smiled, Trish knew what to say to make her feel better.

"Now let's switch topics and have a good lunch." Lady answered looking up.

"Hang on, how about I take you shopping after lunch before we put you back into Dante's possession?"

"Well I do have to do groceries before I head back, plus I don't think he'll miss me for a few hours so why not."

"You're doing groceries again didn't you just do them?' Lady asked.

"Dante's kind of a big eater, ever since he's actually been eating food other then pizza, but even then he could put away a large on his own. Anyway so how's work going?" Aurora asked Trish.

"Slow, hey are you still on those diet supplement pill thingies?" She asked.

"Yeah why?"

"I'm just wondering my doctor was thinking that I should take them and I was wondering what kind you took."

Aurora dug around him her purse and pulled out about seven different bottles. Trish took them and looked at the labels, "BreastMaxx, Phen375, what kind supplements and vitamins are these?" Trish asked, knowing very well they were body modification pills.

Aurora snatched them out of her hands, "Nothing… Stuff to do with work."

"I thought you stopped taking that crap." Lady looked at her with concern.

"I'm working on it I've cut down a lot." Aurora smiled, "Trish try protein and vitamin shakes they actually really help supply nutrients because your body can absorbed them faster across the wall of the stomach because there is less fermentation that has to take place." She smiled pulling out a bottle of vitamins.

Lady just looked at her and started laughing, "I know why he's got a problem with you, you're too smart for your own good, you make him sound like an idiot."

"I don't know if I should take that as a complement or not." Aurora laughed.

"Complement, believe me you're going to make on hell of a vet some day." Trish smiled.

"Trish all the nutrition can be found online and there is a really good website that can help you design a meal plan that can make your body reach maximum potential, I actually use it for Dante but don't tell him that."

"Well that's really good to know." Trish smiled, "Can you recommend anything good?"

"When we go shopping well pick up a few things."

Lady just watched the pair talking, she knew she shouldn't worry about her taking all these pills and what not, she was a smart girl and she wouldn't get herself into anything she couldn't handle but she just prayed to god she wasn't taking the body modifiers to try and please Dante. The sight of those pills had sent a bad feeling coursing through her body and she felt like she had to tell Dante, about everything, the job at the bar, the pills and the eating disorders.

Now back at the office Dante was fit to be tied, the hunter couldn't find anything suitable in the house for food and his wallet was fresh out of cash. He pulled the fridge opened to see that Aurora had made him something for breakfast/lunch. A tray of sandwiches were covered with plastic wrap with a note attached to it, If I'm gone by time you get up here is something you can eat. I'll pick up groceries later.

Aurora

He took out the tray and set it on the counter, Lady was right I am too hard on the girl. He thought taking a bit of the sandwich, the heavenly taste filled his mouth. Dante had calmed down from his hung-over angry state this morning and began to realize what he had said to her that had hurt her so badly.

You're parents have been dead for a year now, just let it go. I'm only letting you stay here because you wouldn't survive out there in the real world. He hadn't even thought before he had said that and he knew how much it hurt to be reminded that he didn't have anyone and he had lost his mother almost 20 years earlier. The wounds were still fresh with Aurora, and he had ripped them opened. He ran a hand through his thick white hair, as he ate. The office was so quiet, no music, no other sounds but him. It was odd, usually at this time of the day he could hear and see Aurora sitting on the couch with her laptop opened, and a veterinary text book, typing or writing away. She had been doing her pre vet studies over distance education, because the closest vet school, was Cornell University and that wasn't going to happen with the demon attacks still happening. He just sighed and stood up. Where is she? Shouldn't lunch be over by now? He looked over at the clock it was after 3:30. Even though he had only been up for a few hours he was tired. He seated himself on the couch and began thinking about the events of last night.

He had come home, Aurora was a sleep on the couch, with her text book opened. Him and his night partner had snuck up to his room where he had fucked her brains out. They hadn't been quiet, he often wondered how Aurora ever got sleep, she probably has ear plugs or something. Even though he had gotten release last night; the sex hadn't left him pleasured, sex the last few weeks hadn't had left him pleasured at all. What's with me? Ever since those dreams started I haven't been able to get off like I use too. By those dreams he meant to one of him seeing Aurora as a ghost.

The door to the shop opened, "I'm home." Her musical voice echoed through the office, the crackling of paper bags fallowed shortly after. Looking over at the door he could see her struggling with the groceries.

"Hey, babe." He called not getting up or even moving for that matter. He could tell she was avoiding his eyes, "How was your day out?"

Aurora moved around the bar area putting things away in cupboards and the fridge, she could feel his eyes on her the whole time. She was still to mad at him to exchange more than a few words with him, so she ignored his question. "If you're not hungry I'm not going to make supper yet." He didn't reply he just continued to watch her with those eyes. Something seemed different about her; what it was he couldn't tell. "If you need me I'll be in my room." And as quickly as he saw her she was gone.
