Chapter 1: The Blue eyed beauty

Disclaimer

I don't own Vergil or the idea of Dmc…that belongs to Capcom but I do own Luna, Emily and Antonio.

It had been a very long time since Mundus's defeat at the hands of the youngest son of Sparda. The demon world was in turmoil as all the upper class demons began fighting for the throne. Mundus's followers fled and his prisoners escaped to the human world. Amidst the confusion, Vergil the eldest son of Sparda woke up on Mallet Island with little memory. Vergil felt like his head was going to explode. The pain was unbearable and it seemed as if the entire demon world had been slammed into his head. Groaning, Vergil stood on his feet and leaned against a wall to steady himself. He looked around and noticed that he was alone. The red sky was swirling above him and it seemed to be a barren wasteland. Vergil tried to recall what had happened but all he could remember was his childhood and some of the time he spent in the human world. What he couldn't understand was why he didn't have Yamato and his amulet. He tried to remember how he ended up in the demon world when he was just about to raise the Termini-guru...but he gave up when the pounding in his head became worse. It was then that he noticed a large portal in the sky that was beginning to close.

"It would be foolish to stay in the demon world in my current condition, my best chances to recover are in the human world." thought Vergil as he surveyed the area for danger. Ignoring the pain that seared through his body, Vergil used his remaining strength to race towards the portal. Strangely, he faced no obstacles and successfully entered the human realm. Vergil wondered where all the demons were and what had become of Mundus. It was as if all the demons were away from the island though that was not usually the case.

He had reached the end of the portal and as his vision cleared, he realized that it was night time. He had landed in a forest which was not too far from a city. He could smell food nearby and decided to follow the scent. The scent led him to a small campsite with a group of boys sitting close to the campfire that illuminated the site. The boys were too busy laughing and telling each other crude jokes to notice Vergil which reminded him of how foolish humans could be. As Vergil looked around, he saw a large bag full of clothes, money and snacks. So far, luck was on Vergil's side so he casually but silently strolled towards the bag, picked it up and disappeared. He didn't enjoy stealing but even he knew that there were times when it was necessary. On the way, he quickly changed into a blue shirt and a pair of black pants followed by a thin black jacket. As he walked towards the city, Vergil drank water and ate a protein bar (being half demon that was all he needed for the time being). Though the pain in his body had faded, it was still noticeable and that's what bothered Vergil. What on earth had happened to him that his body was still unable to recover? Vergil's thoughts came to a halt as he noticed a tall building that stood out from the rest.

Ah...so he was in New York. Relief filled Vergil as he knew that Antonio resided in New York for most the year. However before he could see Antonio he needed to restore his financial accounts and use his savings to recover. Vergil made his way to his safe house that he used a lot when he was a mercenary. He wondered how much time had passed since then and saw the date on a newspaper that was lying on the ground.

Now he was really worried. It had been 20 years since the day Vergil had tried to raise the Termini-guru but to him it felt as if he had only done it yesterday.

What the hell was happening? A thousand thoughts ran through Vergil's mind. He needs some answers...but those had to wait. A familiar building came into Vergil's sight as he travelled up a hill that was on the outskirts of the city. He unlocked the door with a key that he always used to hide behind a brick that was loosely fitted into the side wall of the safe house.

Vergil entered his safe house and other than it being dusty...not much had changed. Vergil moved to the bathroom and took a long shower. After relaxing he changed into his clothes which consisted of the usual black shirt, black pants and his long royal blue silk coat with his brown gloves. He took all of the necessary items such as money a cell phone and his identity cards. He also took a demonic blade called Muramasa which was a katana similar to Yamato. Though it was not as good as Yamato...it was a worthy replacement till he found his blade. Vergil placed it in its dark blue sheath and concealed it within his coat as he left to find Antonio. He had a hunch that Antonia would be at the cafe where he met his clients at 4 pm. it was a hunch and a lot could change in 20 years but it was his only lead so Vergil began to make his way to the cafe.

Antonio was a valuable comrade and was a half demon. He was not very powerful but his intelligence rivaled even Vergil's and he had gained Vergil's respect when they worked together. Before raising Termini-guru, Vergil worked as a mercenary for which he had a very powerful reputation. Humans were so easily impressed according to him as he gained several offers to join different groups and gangs however...he was the son of Sparda and preferred to work alone...until he met Antonio who had lost his mother to demons. Vergil always thought that he felt a sort of kinship with Antonio because they both had lost their mothers but deep inside Vergil knew that Antonio deserved his friendship for other reasons as well. Antonio had always been loyal to Vergil and did whatever he asked. He also had a lot of contacts and was running a very profitable business that suited Vergil just fine. Vergil enjoyed his company and knew that Antonio would be glad to see Vergil once more.

Vergil reached the small cafe at the far end of New York and sat at a table. a young waitress quickly walked to his table and smiled at him with shining eyes.

"Ummm hello my name is Emily...what would you like to have?"

It was obvious that she found him attractive. This was not new to Vergil and he simply sighed while thinking about how the female human minds so easily succumb to men's good looks.

"I'll just have a cup of coffee."

"Of course! Anything else I can do for you?" Emily asked in flirting tone as she leaned towards Vergil, who calmly replied,

"No that will be all".

Emily pouted but walked away much to Vergil's relief. He looked outside the glass window next to him and began thinking about his childhood. His thoughts led him to his younger brother Dante, who no doubt must be wasting his life protecting humans. Speaking of Dante...there was a good chance that Dante would know of what had happened to Vergil. The questions that he had could surely be answered if he... A loud crash interrupted Vergil's thoughts as a girl raced through the front door and the door closed with a loud noise.

"Late again I suppose huh Luna?" asked Emily as Luna tried to catch her breath. She looked at Emily when she had calmed down and said with a sheepish expression,

"Well the traffics terrible and my car broke down so I had to run all the way here."

"Honestly Luna you keep making lame excuses. Antonio is seriously going to kill you someday."

"We both know he won't...he's way too scared of my brother."

"Yeah yeah whatever… Hey! Just take your order and go before Antonio gets mad."

"Uh right I'll just have some coffee for the road. Just pack it okay?"

At first Vergil wasn't listening to the conversation but Antonio's name had gained his interest. He turned his neck to see who this Luna was and his eyes landed on a girl wearing a white coat with long blond hair and a round face. She had rosy cheeks that stood out because of her pale skin. She took of her coat to reveal a pink top over a light purple skirt that showed off her long and slender legs.

Vergil had to admit she was very beautiful...in fact she was one of the most beautiful human females he had ever seen...aside from his mother of course. Vergil stood up and walked towards her.

"Pardon me!" he began. Luna turned around and flashed him a smile that made the sun look dull. However her most eye catching features were her bright blue eyes that suited her blonde hair perfectly. They had a strange depth in them that made Vergil think that she was staring into his soul. He was trying not to lose himself in her deep blue eyes which were much like his mother's...as well as his own.

"Umm hello how can I help you?"

Now this was unusual. Luna had answered Vergil without stuttering. That was new for him as most women for stare at him for minutes before stuttering but he pushed it aside and simply asked

"I overheard your conversation and was wondering if this Antonio that you are referring too wouldn't happen to be Antonio Collin now would he?"

Vergil saw suspicion in her eyes and knew that she feared for Antonio's safety because many people wanted him dead...though no human could kill him.

"I assure you i mean him no harm I'm simply an old friend of his and I don't know where he currently is because we met a long time ago." clarified Vergil.

"Hmmm!" Luna said as she looked at Vergil and then to her left and right.

"What If I say that he is Antonio Collin?"

Vergil was slightly amused by her response and replied

"I would ask where he is." " Well your story does seem to be true so far with that answer you just gave... okay yes! He is Antonio Collins and he is at his mansion... So if you truly are an old friend of his u would know where that is right?"

She was trying to be cocky. Vergil smirked and leaned closer to her as he whispered

"Paradise town, sector 3, lane 2, the largest house near the coastline."

That caught Luna of guard, only Antonio's closest friends knew about that place and she knew all of them but she had never seen this guy so who was he? Vergil could tell by her expression that she was surprised. He smirked and thanked her after which he sat down and drank his coffee. His talks with the girl brought back memories of his mother who looked very similar to this girl. His mother's voice was sweet and calming. Her manners and kindness could not be more perfect and her smile was what Vergil was always eager to see. Soon… he recalled the day his family was torn apart it spoiled his pleasant mood and a frown appeared on his handsome features. Luna suddenly appeared and sat down on the seat in front of him while she placed her coat on the table and asked,

"How do you know…and who are you?"

Vergil was in no mood for a conversation and had no intention of telling her who he was so he looked at her and replied with a tone that clearly hinted his annoyance

"I don't think that's any of your business now why don't you run along... I do believe your coffee is ready."

Luna was surprised by his words. He was just fine about a minute ago...hmm I wonder if he's one of those guys that have mood swings...and I just did him a favor. Who does he think he is. Thought Luna as she continued to stare at him with her blue eyes that made Vergil remember his mother once more. Now he was starting to get really angry. Why was this girl annoying him? Was it because he had spoken a few words to her? This was why he didn't talk to humans...once they start talking...they can't stop. He began glaring at Luna whose eyes narrowed. She was about to retort when Emily yelled

"Luna get moving you're an hour late."

That brought Luna back to her task as she slightly jumped out of her seat, grabbed her coffee and ran out...only to return a minute later to take her coat from the table. She apologized to Vergil in a low voice and once more quickly left leaving Vergil to wonder what the hell just happened. His eyes followed her through the window while she crossed the road...only to return to the previous side and help a small boy cross the road. They exchanged a few words as she took his hand and walked in the opposite direction…away from Antonio's house. Vergil's eyes widened as he asked himself whether the girl was carefree or just plain insane.
