Shrouded in Mystery

A/N: I've always wondered how Nero is related to Dante, there has to be some family relation because they both have Sparda's blood running through their veins. Its been assumed that Nero is Vergil's son, but there's just no way that can work. In this Fic I'm going to explore my own theory on how Dante and Nero are related.

Disclaimer: I don't own DMC, but I really wish I did.

Chapter 1

It was a sunny day in Fortuna City, but that did mean there wasn't evil lurking in the shadows. Nero was just heading back to his house after slaying a nest of Mafistos and he was very, very sore.

"Damn it, when did fighting demons become so hard?" Nero asked himself.

"Maybe when you decided to slack off Nero!" came a response out of nowhere.

"SHUT THE HELL UP DANTE!" Nero yells back at the man that just appeared behind him.

"Now is that any way to treat a friend, Nero?" asked Dante with a look of mock hurt.

"Oh fuck you!" yells Nero, "You know damn well that the demon activity has been getting worse and worse ever sense we defeated the Order of the Sword!"

"Well yeah, but for me that just means more money." Dante said with a smirk.

"Asshole!" Nero yelled. He then turned and continued heading home, knowing full well what would happen if he was late getting home.

"Kyrie, I'm home!" Nero yells the minute he walks through the door.

"I'm in the kitchen." Came the voice of the angel Nero still couldn't believe fell for a devil like him, "How was your day?" she asked as he walked into the room.

"Oh it was fine," he said, "But these demons are getting more and more persistent about how hard they attack when they attack."

"Well I'm just glad you're fine," Kyrie said with a smile that made Nero's knees buckle. Luckily for him he was standing right in front of a chair otherwise he would have fallen to the floor.

"I'm so luck to have you Kyrie," Nero said mostly to himself. That got another smile and a kiss from Kyrie.

"Get a room you two," came a voice thick with a teasing tone.

"Dante, how have you been?" asked Kyrie politely even though she could see Nero wanted to rip out Dante's heart, feed it to him, and then rip out his throat.

"Oh fine and you Kyrie?" asked Dante.

"Oh I'm pretty much still on cloud nine after what Nero did last week." She said with such excitement that Dante wondered why she acted that way when she knew Nero loved her more than anything else in the world.

"Oh and what would that be?" asked Dante already knowing, but wanted to hear how Kyrie told it.

She held up her left hand and said, "He proposed to me!"

"Congrats" Dante said.

"Thanks. Oh listen to me blab about how Nero and I are doing. How's Trish?" asked Kyrie a little embarrassed.

"She's fine. We've had a hell of a lot of work lately, but…."

Before Dante could finish a member of the Holy Knights ran in and said," Captain Nero a whole army of Scarecrows is attacking the town square!"

"Damn it! Sorry Kyrie, but I have to help them." Nero said with a disappointed look in his eyes.

"Its ok Nero, go." she said, "I'll wait for you to get done."

"Thanks Kyrie, what did I ever do to deserve you?" asked Nero.

"Kid let's get going!" Dante said impatiently.

With that Dante and Nero ran at full speed to the town square, but what they found there wasn't anything like what they were expecting.

A/N: Yes Kyrie and Nero were being sweet to the point of almost gagging, but it is in their character to do so. This is my first Fan Fic so please review and tell me what you think.
