Firstly, I'd like to give about 80% credit of this fic to the youtube video "Dante is home" It has been pegging my brain for hours upon end.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters mentioned.
I sighed as I gleamed down at the keepsake necklace from my mother.
I had been running this business, to hunt down demons, for several years, and it had it's fair share of kicks to it. There were some bumps along the way of course.
First there was Vergil, my brother, who was attempting to unlock Sparda's, our father, seal and open the gates of hell.
Then there was that Arius guy, clique story of course. Man got greedy and turned to the power of demons for more power. To be honest he wasn't that hard to kill.
And finally, Mundus. The 'prince of darkness' as some called him. That was, annoying, to say the least. Having to face someone mad at dad since Dad wasn't exactly around anymore. No one could ever leave it could they?
And my latest trip, to some town filled with religious fanatics of Sparda. That was admittedly a little disturbing, knowing there was a whole religion worshiping my father. It was fun though, met that hot-headed kid. Nero I think. I'm sure I made the right call in letting him keep Yamato.
'But now, after all that, things just seem so dim.' I thought to myself, the people walking with past or around me. It was amazing how oblivious they are to the dangers people like me keep them from.
But am I really needed now? There are other demon hunters out there, like Lady. I doubt there will ever be anymore large threats after Sparda's blood or power, seeing as that's all almost gone.
The thoughts plague me second after second as I near my destination, my place. 'But is it my home?' I think to myself, before opening the door.
As soon as I open the door, I feel a smaller figure bump into me, making my eyes widen slightly, and when my eyes finally adjusted to the light I saw it was Patty. She was dressed in her usual pink, girly dress.
And of course, there was that frown of hers, while annoying was also a little amusing.
She waved a chatsizing finger at me, "You are late!" she stated accusingly, as I just shrugged and attempted to think of a way to get her off my back.
Then she turned around with a smile and let me see past her, causing my eyes to widen even further.
There, right in front of me, were all of the people I'd managed to meet over the time. Trish, Lady, J.D, Nero and his 'friend' Kyrie.
I looked at Patty, my face etched with complete surprise and confusion, and she just smiled while nodding. "We were waiting for you Dante!" she explained cheerfully. And I smiled widely for the first time in a long time. A real smile, not one of those cocky grins or smirks I usually show off. As I was smiling I could feel a small spec of water in the corner of my eyes, and I just smiled harder, both being happy and trying to hide the tears.
Suddenly Patty took my hand, and dragged me to the smiling group, me smiling the whole way.
'I'm home….'
