Huh. Another job. This on was a big one. I couldn't do it myself. I needed help. The old subway station had been completely overrun and so had the surrounding area. That meant 3 to 4 thousand demons, I couldn't take them all on my own. So I was going to see the only person who would help me as long as he go paid, Dante. I was headed to /devil May Cry. As I approached I heard yelling. I opened the door to see Dante soaking wet with only a towel around his waist. I'm not going to lie I have a major crush on Dante, but I'd never admit that to anybody. Then Nero stood half way across the room in nothing but his boxers. They were both completely oblivious to my presence.
" I'll just come back later." I stated. Dante and Nero glared at each other.
" Your fine." Dante muttered.
" No, I'll come back later. Your in nothing but a towel and Nero is parading around in nothing but his boxers. I'll come back later" I said turning around. Then Dante did the thing I hated most, he crossed the room soundlessly blocking my path to the door.
" Why'd you come here?' Dante asked staring down at me with his cold blue eyes.
" I wanted your help with a job." I said.
" Should have figured that the only reason Jenny ever stopped by." Dante complained.
" Hey I'm not the one in debt." I snapped at him. He just sighed.
" So what's the job and how much do I get paid?" Dante inquired.
" We have to clear out the old subway and the surrounding area. Hmm about 3 to 4 thousand lesser demons. If we split the money you get 10,000 dollars." I said. Dante cursed and stalked across the room.
" That won't even pay half of my debt." Dante complained.
" Do you want the job or not? And just how much do you owe?" I asked.
" Yeah. And probably around 150,000 dollars." Dante stated.
" Damn Dante. I don't even want to know how you owe that much money." I said.
" When does this thing start?" Dante asked. As soon as you get those leather pants of yours on." I said.
" Then I'll put them on last." Dante said as he walked up the stairs.
" Can I come?" Nero asked. I'd completely forgotten about him.
" Sure, you can have half of my money." I said.
" You sure?" Nero asked pulling on his pants and shirt.
" Yeah, I'm not in debt." I said.
" Let's go." Dante said from behind me. I jumped ten feet. Dante and Nero laughed.
" I hate it when you do that." I grumbled.
" Really, I thought you liked it when Dante was behind you." Nero teased. It took me a second to get his meaning.
" Nero, just you wait." I growled at him as he laughed. Nero was a nice guy most of the time, but sometimes I just wanted to rip his little pretty boy head off his shoulders. Good thing we were going to slay demons. As we neared the subway station the air temperature changed and the air hung heavy with the stench of demon. Like Dante I as a half human half demon. But my demon half way dog demon. My nose was a lot more sensitive than Dante and Nero's.
" You ok? You don't look so good?" Nero said completely serious. His comment made Dante turn and look at me.
" I'm with Nero are you ok?" Dante asked.
" Yeah I'm fine it just stinks here that's all." I said lying. They didn't notice as we continued on our way. Nero and I cleared the surrounding area pretty easily. Dante had cleared the subway. Suddenly I had a terrible headache. I took a deep breath but that only made it worse. My vision blurred and I began to feel light headed. I tried to take a step but everything spun and I collapsed to my hands and knees.
" Jenny!" I heard Nero call. Then I heard him being shoved back. Then I heard Dante and someone exchange words. I heard Dante swing his sword, then shot his gun. He swung Rebellion again and his enemy jumped back, just within reach. I jumped up and stabbed him with my cursed sword Kentaru. He got off my blade the opponent disappeared. I saw Dante clearly for a split second then every thing went black.
Dante's Point of View
Clearing the subway had been a breeze, but I guess that as because Nero and Jenny had my back. I made my way out of the subway tunnel. The first thing I saw was Nero flying through the air. I looked to see who threw him. It couldn't be but it was, it as Virgil.
" Dante how nice of you to join us." Virgil greeted him gesturing to Nero, who had now regain his footing and Jenny who was collapsed on her hands and knees. She was pale before, but know she looked sickly white. What did he do to her. As if reading Dante's mind Virgil answered.
" Just a little dog demon poison." Virgil said. That's right she was part dog demon. Crap. She was in trouble and Nero was no match for Virgil. The cheap bastard he had to poison a girl just to get his kicks. I ran at him with Rebellion raised. Virgil blocked my attack and went to punch me. I jumped back out of his reach. I pulled out Ebony and fired at him only to miss. Then Virgil was right in front of me. He punched me in the chest, but in the same instant I swung Rebellion at him making him jump back. Then a sword went right through his chest. I was just as surprise as Virgil was. Then I realized the blade. It was Jenny's sword. Maybe I should have warned Virgil about her. Virgil hissed as he slipped off her blade. Then he disappeared. Jenny stood their still a sick shade of white. Her eyes were clouded in pain. Then she collapsed to the ground.
"Jenny!" Nero yelled as he ran over to her, " We have to get her back to Devil May Cry."
" No we just have to drop her off at 7th heaven. Let Haley take care of her." I said.
" Uhh, Dante I don't know where 7th heaven is." Nero said.
" Fine then. I'll take her back to 7th heaven, just have pizza waiting on me when I get back." I said slinging Jenny over my shoulder.
" Can do Dante." Nero agreed. Trudging off. I walked to 7th heaven several blocks away. Tifa Lockheart ( I don't think I spelt that rite) looked up as I entered.
" Jenny!" Haley yelled as she spun around. I sat Jenny in one of the booths. Haley then hit me in the arm and for a girl she packs a punch.
" WTH was that for!" I yelled at her.
" What did you do to her!" Haley yelled.
" It wasn't me it was Virgil." I explained. Her eyes widened.
" I thought you killed Virgil." Haley said.
" Me too." I muttered.
" What's wrong with Jenny?" Vincent Valentine asked. Vincent was than me when it came to entering rooms soundlessly.
" Some pioson." I replied.
" Is it fatal?" Vincent asked.
" How should I know it only seemed ot affect her while we were in the general area." I said shrugging.
" Thanks for bringing her back here Dante." Haley said. Whatever. I leaf 7th heaven almost running into Cloud. He looked like he had just gotten the shit beat out of him. I headed back to Devil May Cry. I opened the door to find Nero sprawled out on the couch asleep. At least he'd gotten the pizza I thought as I grabbed a slice of pizza and went over to my desk and sat down. I kicked my feet up on the desk. Virgil. How was he still alive. Well it didn't matter now. I was going to send him back to hell. And this time he would stay dead. I continued to plot my brothers demise till I fell asleep
One Week Later Still Dante's Point Of View
I'd just polished of the first slice of pizza from the box when the phone rang. It was a job, a big one. I had to rescue some brat from a large group of boss level demons. I needed some help but Nero had disappeared to gods knows where. So that meant I had to go it alone. Wait a second I bet Jenny would help me. I wonder if she's recovered yet, well if she isn't I'll go it alone. So I headed to 7th heaven. One thing I learned quickly was that you never saw a normal sight when walking into 7th heaven and today was no different. Cloud sat in the corner quietly talking to Tifa. Cid Highwind was bragging about his air ship to Yuffie Kisaragi, who was pretending to care. Then there was Jenny. She was hanging upside down from a ceiling rafter. She was about ten inches away from Vincent and looking very determined.
" Smile…smirk…do some thing human and I don't mean talk because demons can do that." she demanded. Vincent regarded her quietly.
" I've seen demons smile." Vincent said.
" That's different. It's the I cant wait to taer you apart smile or I can't waot to torture you smile." she stated to him.
" You've smiled." Vincent said callously.
" Yeah, but that's because of blackmail or I got some really evil idea. Now smile." She stated.
" Or what?" Vincent asked.
" I'll open a can of whoop ass on you boy." she snapped. Vincent just raised an eyebrow.
" Dang you for calling my bluff." Jenny snapped. Vincent then nodded acknowledging my presence. I think he's the only one who has noticed I'm here. Then in an instant Vincent was gone.
" Damn him." Jelly cursed.
" Hey!" I yelled to get her attention, she almost failed but regained her balance.
" Hey Dante." she said angrily. I didn't mind since the anger was directed at Vincent and not me.
" Do you won't to help me with a job?" I asked her. She wiped her electric blue hair out of her eyes.
" Can't." she replied.
" Haley said I'm not aloud to play with you any other demons. Something about my health." she said. Okay I couldn't help but take that the wrong way. After all I am a guy.
She looked over at me funny waiting for a response.
" That had nothing to do with scrabble." she said realizing how I took it. I couldn't help but smirk.
" So what's the job?" she asked.
" I thought you couldn't help?" I asked.
" Since when do I listen?" she asked winking at me. She had a point there. She never listened to anyone or anything.
