----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was late at night, and I lay on top of the roof of a small building, looking up at the stars. Not much happened in Fortuna, God, it was so boring. Most of the citizens were asleep at this time, except for probably two people. Next to me lay possibly the most beautiful being on Earth.

She was lying next to me, her arm across my stomach, keeping as close to me as possible. I doubt she was looking at the stars with me, knowing her she probably had her eyes closed. "It's so nice to finally have some quiet," she told me in a whisper, like she was too afraid to talk too loud.

I just had to agree. I had been so busy lately since I became the new Supreme Commander of the Order of the Sword. Plus, Kyrie was still grieving the loss of her older brother, Credo. Sanctus… that bastard. It felt good to destroy him by my hand after all he had done.

It's been a year since Sanctus opened the Hell Gate. One year… wow, time flew by. Fortuna had been completely rebuilt in just a few months, thanks to my demonic arm. I've gotten used to this arm, and most of the people of Fortuna have gotten used to seeing me with it. Guess that's good, I'm not a fan of getting attention.

I felt Kyrie's hand touch my demon arm. Ever since I defeated Sanctus, she was never afraid of me or my arm. That made my life easier, since my heart nearly shattered when she had first seen my arm. "You know, it actually feels normal," she told me.

I wasn't much of a talker, never was. I was more of a listener. Kyrie never seemed to mind, she knew how I was.

I heard her sigh. Guess I shouldn't leave her talking to herself, I thought to myself. I slipped my demonic fingers in between her fingers, so our hands were intertwined. I lifted both our hands up, so I could look at them without having to move my head. In a way, both of our hands looked perfect with each other. Kyrie's hand looked so beautiful against my glowing blue palm; it sort of made my hand look like a monster ready to devour its prey. I sighed as I lowered our hands back onto the ground. Kyrie seemed to know what I was thinking.

"You're not a monster, Nero," I heard her say. I finally spoke. "Kyrie, you're a normal person. You have no idea what it's like to have this stupid thing," I said, lifting our hands up a little to refer to my arm. "You're the same Nero you've always been. The only thing changed is your arm, nothing else," she insisted. I sighed again, choosing to go silent. I didn't want to argue with her.

She refused to let go of my hand. I didn't care, I was just glad she wasn't afraid of it. A demon… could I be one? A descendant of Sparda. That's what Sanctus told me I was. But I'm not like those other demons that I fought before. I look human, I kind of feel human. But at the same time, I feel like a demon. I don't know what the hell I'm saying, but that's the best way to put it.

"I gotta go on the lookout for some demons," I muttered. I stood up, as did Kyrie, still holding onto my arm. I could feel her staring at me. I bit my lip, trying my best not to look at her. Her gaze began to burn into my skin, and I finally looked at her.

I don't know how someone so beautiful could love someone like me. I stared at her beautiful brown eyes, shining even in the dark. Her lips were a light pink color, so soft, just as soft as her skin. I saw her lips form into a smile, probably because I was blushing. "I'll see you sometime then," she said; I could sense she was a little sad, but I had a duty to do. "Yeah," was all I could get out, since I was too busy staring at her goddess-like face.

Snap out of it, you dumbass. "Bye," I said quietly. I leaned down and kissed her soft lips gently. She kissed back, and I backed away before I could get distracted again. She smiled again. "Bye." I turned around and ran toward the edge of the building, telling myself I had a job to do. I jumped off the building and landed on the ground with a small thud seconds after. I ran down a small path, ready to protect Fortuna, as usual.
