Chapter 1.

"What the hell is wrong with you Dante?" It was a horrible way to add onto an already terrible situation.

Lady and Dante had just finished a mission that had gone wrong. Lately, there had been more missions then duo could handle and the one they were just on involved more work than they had anticipated. They had managed to call Trish to come and assist them when they analyzed the situation. Trish made it just in time.

"What do you mean what wrong with me? What's wrong with you, you crazy psycho bitch!"

When the missions stated, so had the worse than normal arguing. Arguing in the couple's relationship was nothing new to anyone who knew the two. It was what kept them occupied in the relationship and attracted the two to each other in the first place. Trish could attest to the statement, however, the amount of fighting had grown out of hand and it was slightly worrisome. Normally the two would have a friendly banter with smiles on their faces as they waited for the other to counter there well thought out statement. This, though, was a different level of banter. There was no friendliness present and the smiles were wiped each face, hence the reason to worry.

"Arrogant asshole, if you would have taken that call properly instead of being a lazy bum and doing a half assed job, we would have been more prepared!"

Trish had followed the two into the shop to make sure neither committed bloody murder. She could honestly say she was worried about the two. Sitting down on the worn couch she watched as the two stood facing each other. Menacing glares on both Dante's and Lady's face. Trish sighed as the fighting continued, the words getting harsher as each minute passed.

"Don't blame this shit on me! If I do such a fucked up job in answering a phone in my own damn shop then you do it then you ungrateful bitch!"

A knock on the door halted Lady's next comment, though not the tension that filled between the two. Trish released another sigh as the eye contact between the other occupants never broke. The blond got up from her seat and walked over the let the waiting person in. Grabbing the door handle, she opened the door.

"Nero, what a present surprise. What are you doing here?"

It was actually no surprise that Nero was there. Trish had called him when they had left from the mission. Something about the boy had always calmed Lady down. They had this sort of sibling connection that Trish would never understand. Dante might, he did have Vergil, after all.

It would seem as Trish's plan had work, at the mention of Nero's name Lady's head snapped into their direction. A smile graced Lady's now calm face and the tension disappearing as if it were never there. Dante rolled his eyes at the change of atmosphere and walked to sit at his signature spot at his desk.

"Nero! You didn't tell me you were going to stop by for a visit, I'm so glad you're here!"

It always amazed Dante how Lady's mood changed like a light, talk about being bipolar. It also helped that the kid had dropped by. The arguing had escalated to levels that Dante himself didn't even know they could reach. Every little thing was criticized by the other. From the way they eat, to the way they shoot a gun. It was absolutely no fun.

"Hey Lady, Trish, Dante" Nero greeted as he gave Lady a hug.

When Trish had first told Nero about the tension between the two he wouldn't have believed it, but when Trish had simply opened the door, the tension attacked him in waves. Releasing Lady from his grip, he watched as she went to go sit at the edge of the desk. Nero followed Trish to sit next to her on the couch.

"What are you doing here kid, and where's Kyrie?"

"Cant he just come by for no reason?"

Lady was seething. Dante raised his brow at the kid, completely ignoring Lady. It didn't held the situation any.

"No reason old man, just wanted to see you guys. I don't get to see you two as much, seeing as you don't visit. Oh, and Kyrie had something to do at the church, she sends her regards."

"Well isn't that nice."

It was lazily said as the man in red leaned back in his chair. Lady was slightly annoyed with the tone. Remembering something the man had said earlier in the argument, Lady grabbed Dante's leg and pushed him back, making him flip out of the chair and land on the floor.

"Oww! What the fuck Lady, what the hell was that for?"

Nero and Trish stared wide eye at the action. It was about to get bad, and neither knew what to do about it.

Lady simply stood from her spot on the desk and turned to glare at Dante as he picked himself up.

"I'm a crazy psycho bitch, remember."

"Fuck you."

"As if I would let you touch me."

"Now that I think about it, why would I want to fuck you? I would much rather go fuck a hooker then sleep with you!"

Anger was talking now, and they all knew it. Well everyone but Lady, she wouldn't admit it but the comment had hurt, a lot.

"Well then why don't you! Go ahead! I give you full permission you jerk!"

Dante halted for a moment and the glaring continued.

Nero and Trish shared a look. They didn't know how to stop this fight, they didn't even know if they could. All they could do is watch as the relationship crumbled.

"Maybe I will! They would probably be a better lay then you are anyway!"

Nero and Trish were saddened by this argument. Dante and Lady had been together for 7 years, and had married for 5. Their relationship had always been a perfect one, well as perfect as it could get for the two. Their love had been so strong; nothing was able to tear them apart. What was happening?

"You take that back you fucker!"

"No! If you can't take the truth well shit, to bad!

Lady looked at Dante with tears in her eyes, she still held strong. She would not let this man break her, nor would she allow him the satisfaction of seeing her cry.

"Dammit! I wish I never would have married you!"

"Well Lady, we finally agree on something!"

The two spectators in the room were left speechless. One of them needed to intervene, now. Standing up from the couch, Trish walked over to the two.

"I don't think you guys are thinking straight. Maybe you two just need some space away from each other to get some fresh air."

It was a suggestion that one could only hope would be accepted.

"No, were settling this now. I'm sick, and tired, of this entire arguing thing we have going on. This is getting us nowhere. I think Trish is right, maybe we need separation."

Lady's body froze as she digested what Dante had just said. Was he implying what she thinks he was?

Nero couldn't sit anymore; he stood from his seat and walked a few steps towards them.

"So what do you want to do Dante? Where do we stand?"

Lady, Nero, and Trish held their breath for an answer they hoped would never come.

"I think we should get a divorce."

Ladys released the breath she never knew she was holding. That one line had broken her. She could barely contain herself from breaking down in tears. Lady didn't want Dante to see how much he had affected her, if he would stay strong, so would she.

"Ok Dante, If that's what you think we should do, then I'll do as you want."

Slowly and regretfully removing her ring from her finger, she allowed a few tears to stream down her face. Fuck being strong, she just had her heart broken. Looking up to meet Dante's eyes she noticed the same look. He was never as strong as he pretended to be.

Holding the ring on her hand she looked at the engraved words.

Forever & Always

She smiled at the memory. Seems like always would have to be cut short. She placed the ring on the desk in front of her soon to be ex-husband.

"I'll be back to pick up my stuff in the morning."

Dante was silent and kept is gaze on the ring that no longer occupied his lovers' hand. He regretted it. He should have kept his mouth shut. He couldn't even believe the suggestion came out of his own mouth. He hated when Lady cried, and at the moment, she looked so vulnerable and weak, but he couldn't help it. Dante had just been so mad, and he really was sick of all the arguing.

He couldn't believe he would never wake up next to this woman again.

"Nero, can I stay with you for a little while?"

He couldn't believe he had just made the biggest mistake of his life.

"Yeah, Sure."

He couldn't believe he was letting her walk out the door.

"Bye Trish, I'll call you later."

He couldn't believe that he didn't comfort her in her pain.

The door shut.

"Hey Dante?"

Dante broke from his gaze on the rings and made contact with the blond.

"You do realize you made a huge mistake."

He couldn't believe he let her go.
