Apologies! I had a bit of a problem with the upload function and deleted a couple of chapters rather than replacing them!

This story is based in Blackiriss's RP world that Vrejusnor and myself regularly take part in.

Dante and Vergil are therefore portrayed as Vrejusnor and I portray them respectively.

Cannonwise, this would slot in after DMC3 I guess.

There are also OC's – a note to who they belong to will be found at the end of the chapters.

There is smut and filth in this story… you have been warned… if you don't like it don't flame it… I won't warn you again…

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

The living room was empty, as was the kitchen. There was no one in the bathroom, and Dante's bed had not been slept in.

Vergil frowned as he poured himself some tea. That was very unlike him. Dante would normally call and let Vergil know if he wasn't going to be home, say if he was crashing at the hall or over Carvers… Vergil mentally shuddered. Carver was not in his good books, and most likely never would be, but he tolerated him for the time being.

Last night had been a late one at the Council. There had been numerous trails to attend as well as sentences to be dolled out. Vergil didn't care much for the Council and their members but his past experience and well known evil streak was what made them ask for his alliance.

Vergil was not used to working with others, in Dante's words, he didn't play well with others and when he did he played rough. Rules were there to be broken and Vergil was certainly not afraid to do it.

Often Vergil would take jobs alone returning to report the task had been carried out and with all relevant paperwork filled in. Tougher assignments the twins would team up on, or would sometimes go with a group of guards.

Dante would only take jobs that appealed to him, or ones that Mother Confessor directly ordered him to take. She never ordered Vergil to take a job, he didn't ever need any encouragement to decapitate someone.

Vergil was also known for being a good information gatherer. If someone in the dungeon was not talking Vergil would be able to coax the information out of him. Often just the sight of his blue coat would leave the prisoner mumbling and fretting.

Vergil's reputation went before him, and he never failed to deliver. Invoking his anger would only end up in a large bloody stain on the floor.

Vergil picked up the post from the front door and leafed through it while sipping on his tea. He sorted out Dante's junk mail and magazine subscriptions from his Council letters. Vergil dealt with all the paperwork the Council sent them, Dante and reading something that required his attention for more than a minute? Unless it had nipples there was no change.

There was a large brown packet. Simply addressed to him: "Vergil". Vergil frowned and put his tea down. He turned the packet over in his hands. There was no sender address and no stamp, it had been hand delivered.

Vergil opened the door and stared out into the street. No one was to be seen. He closed the door and eyed the package. He knew better than to open something that he didn't like the look of. He fished his mobile out of his pocket and called a number.

"Twisted Supplies!" A cheery sound on the other end of the line thrilled out. Vergil grimaced, he hated talking to the assistant.

"Is Alice there?" He tried not to sound annoyed.

"Yup! Hold on!! Is it Vergil?" The voice must have either recognised him, or maybe Alice had finally gotten caller ID for her shop?

"Yes…" The assistant dropped the phone and he listened to her calling for Alice. He heard the clicking of heels and the phone being swooped up.

"This had better be important, Blue" Alice sounded irritated. "I'm in the middle of working on some wards for a customer."

Vergil held up the package in front of his face. "I got something in the post, you didn't send me anything did you?" He could imagine Alice frowning at his question.

"Vergil…" Alice muttered. "Why would I send something in the post when I can come round or you to mine?!"

"That's what I thought…" Vergil's voice trailed off as he felt the package. "Hmm.. it feels like a CD or something."

"You want me to check it out?" Alice questioned.

"No, I think its ok… it doesn't feel bad" Vergil opened the packet and a CD case fell out. "Hmm… its just a CD I think…" Vergil moved to put it in the CD player and pressed play.

A garbled noise came from the speakers, then he heard Kestrel's voice talking to Dante about a job he was going on. Sounded just run of the mill. Vergil frowned and moved the phone from one ear to the other. "What's that all about?" He muttered to himself.

He was about to turn the CD off when he heard the sounds of demons thrilling and then gunshots coming from the speakers. Kestrel was chanting and he could hear the crackle of energy as she shot blasts of power. Dante was yelling at her to get back out of the way and more shots were fired out. Kestrel screamed and there was a sickening thump, it sounded like someone was thrown against a wall and bones cracked.

Vergil was staring at the CD player with wide eyes. He didn't like what he was hearing. He stopped it and restarted it. He perched on the end of the sofa and listened carefully.

From the lighter tones at the start of the CD Kestrel was saying it was a standard job, just a nest of demons to clear out and she wanted to go along with Dante just for the fun. Dante had protested but obviously had relented. The sound was muffled as though it was being recorded from inside someone's coat, or bag or something.

The sound then skipped to the fighting sounds. Vergil's eyes opened in horror as he realised they must have walked into a trap. Kestrel was screaming again on the CD, but rather than stop it Vergil let it run on. Dante's guns rang out time and time again. He could hear his twin shouting at her to get up and to get away from the fight. Dante cried out in pain suddenly. Vergil leant towards the CD player in shock. He turned the sound up and rewound it slightly.

Dante's shout of pain filled the living room and the clatter of metal on metal rang out. Dante had obviously put the guns away in favour of Rebellion. He cried out again and again in pain. Vergil's grip on the phone tightened. Either Dante was being sloppy to have been hit a few times or there was so many enemies around that he was having trouble fending them all off.

Vergil was brought out of his trance by the sound of Rebellion hitting the ground with a clatter. He had heard that sound so many times it was unmistakable. Dante screamed in pain and then went silent.

Alice was calling him in from the phone. Vergil looked down. He had dropped it to the floor in shock. His nose was inches from the speaker. He heard a gruff rattled voice ask if someone got everything and to take Dante with them, telling them to take Kestrel back to the hall for someone to find.

The voice then addressed Vergil directly. "Sparda… you will come… you will fight for him… and you will fail… and you will become mine…"

Vergil stared blankly at the speaker. Nothing more was on the CD. He picked up the phone from the floor.

"I have to see Kestrel…" He closed the phone ignoring Alice's protests as to what had just happened and what was wrong.

Vergil growled low. He had no idea who that voice belonged to, but he was going to rip it from the owners throat and destroy it.

Dante was his brother, his twin… If anything anyone knew about his reputation was that the brother's bond was strong enough to override everything. Vergil would kill gladly for Dante, he had in the past and he would do it again without a moments pause.

Vergil pulled his coat on and took Yamato from her perch on the wall. He picked the CD up from the player and put it back in the envelope. He opened the front door and stepped into the crisp morning air. The sun was shining and there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Vergil cursed under his breath. It was too nice a day for something like this to happen.

He looked around and made off for the Council halls. He was going to get some answers and he was going to get them from the horses mouth.

"Kestrel…" Vergil growled through his teeth before storming down the road.
