Devil May Cry

A Demon and His Angel

"Just one of those nights," Nero thought to himself as he walked through the lamp-lit streets of the not-so-busy streets Fortuna, accompanied by none except Blue Rose on his hip and Red Queen at his back. It had been a few months since "The Fortuna Incident" as some called it, where a vast number of the city's population were witnesses to the resurrection of their so-called "Savior," and the thousands of demons that soon followed. His Holiness, Sanctus, had gone mad with power at the helm of the titanic statue of The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, a demon with a heart that could have emotion, a savior... Nero felt a small chuckle rise in the back of his throat,"Savior? Hero, maybe... but no Savior... It was his bullshit that gave me this arm..." he thought as he flexed his right arm, the Devil Bringer, and clenched its clawed hand into a fist. He had mixed feelings about Sparda; a part of him hated him because he was a demon and had somehow had given Nero his blood legacy, thereby making him one as well... but another part of him was thankful that he had existed so that he could protect the humans and guarantee humanity a future, one that had Kyrie waiting for Nero. "Kyrie..." Her face flashed across Nero's vision, she was the only one who accepted his demonic side and loved him for the human side of him... this stopped Nero in his tracks as all this gathered in his head. " I was a demon by birth, I was damned by birth... but I was blessed by an angel... my angel..." A smile spread across his face; that was them alright, a demon and his angel. Two sides, two worlds, but two hearts that would beat as one... He turned to the direction of his home, the direction to her home, to his angel, and broke into sprint that brought him there within moments. He opened the door, stepped inside, and saw her standing there in all of her glow that was of her. "You're home early, N-..." Her words were cut short by a swift movement that brought her deep into his arms. " I couldn't stay away... I thought you'd miss me too much." Nero said with a warm smile, his pale blue eyes staring down into her dark browns, causing her to blush and return his smile." Oh, I don't know about that; it gets so quiet in here when you're gone..." she replied, then followed up with a chuckle. She then felt a warm sensation on her lips, one that sent shocks down her spine and made her melt in to Nero's loving embrace. As Nero broke the kiss, he looked at the clock and frowned, " It's almost midnight, you waited this long for me to get back? I thought you'd be asleep by the time I got back." Kyrie nodded and yawned softly," I wanted to see you when you got back..." She responded sleepily, " I just thought I'd..." Nero pressed a finger to her lips and lifted her off the ground and carried her to the bedroom. He sat next to her until she fell asleep, then before leaving the room for the couch, stroked her hair and whispered, "Thank you... my angel..."
