I don't have to say that I don't own Devil May Cry or any of it's characters/settings because everyone knows I don't.
By the way, the later chapters in this story are way better than the first five or six. Trust me.

Soul
My life has been a hell-hole since my big brother has trapped me here in the underworld. But really, I can't blame him. He was in love... with a human. Mundus was trying to take over the human world and that endangered her.
But, being blood related to a famous traitor like that... "Sparda this..." "Sparda that..." "Did you know Sparda did..." They always talked about him. Yap, yap. It gets annoying! And then they look down at me assuming that I will do the same! 'I'm nothing like him! I'm not going to fall in love with a human!' is what I would normally say in reply.
The thing about me is, which is the reason why they actually try to hurt me, isn't because I'm trying to do what he did. It's because I have a different taste in my mates. It's what the call 'abnormal'. Unlike most of the demons in the underworld, who want to carry on their DNA, I like my mates to be male. In meaning, I don't want a child or actually I couldn't care less.
Anyways, back to the present. I heard gossip of my brothers mate giving birth to twin sons. One of which actually came to the underworld and slaughtered our King. Me.. an uncle. That was a big surprize for me to hear. But, the fact that I had actually seen the murderer made me realize that I could be wrong.
The guy was young and hot, I could give you that. But, the aura coming from him was obviously not demon... at least not a pure bred one. He was half-human. Something I would expect from an idiotic stray demon that left the underworld and raped an unsuspecting human.
No... that's not the the reason why I started to believe the rumors. The reason why I started to believe them was his eyes. They were a pure blue. Just like the eyes of Eva, my brothers mate. And the hair, a brilliant silver much like my own. He was definitely a beautiful masterpiece.
I wanted to meet him. That's why I stole the Dark Scythe from the new Kings throne. Of course, no one has noticed it yet. But, when someone does, the King will throw a fit. And with my absence they could only assume that I was the one who stole it.
The scythe has magical powers similar to a demons yet different. If you slice the empty air with it, a portal will open to the human world. Right in the place where my nephew can be found.
So that's what I'm doing now. I'm trying to find a spot clear of demons so that the King will not be warned.

My foot collided with a Pride's skull, cracking it as the creature shrieked in pain. It toppled over and turned to sand.
I glanced behind me, trying to see if I had anymore followers.
"I got them all," Nelo Angelo said, sheathing his sword.
Nelo Angelo has been on my side since I revived him from his fateful death when he battled my nephew. I had asked him what the name of his killer was and he replied that he didn't remember. In fact, I don't think he remembers anything before his death.
When I revived him it was the first time I saw the Black Angel without his mask. He looked awfully like my nephew but, because he couldn't remember, I'm not sure if he is even related.
He doesn't wear that dark armoure anymore either. Lately, his taste for clothing has changed, probably do to the fact that he doesn't even remember what he wore before his death.
Just yesterday he found an intriguing blue trench coat along with many other things in Mundus' old castle. As soon as he tried them on he never wanted to part with them.
Nelo Angelo can be quite the ally. He's quite skilled with the sword. He hacked through a whole entire army back in the day. Boy, was I jealous of him. He getting the attention from the King and me at the mercy of lesser demons who obviously couldn't tell an acorn and a coconut apart.
"Shall we get going, Soul?" He asked me. I nodded in reply and lead the way.
It didn't take long for us to find the perfect place. It was a dark cave, but unoccupied none the less. It smelled of rotting flesh, which obviously bothered Nelo who covered his nose as soon as we walked in.
"Do you even know how to use the Dark Scythe?" He choked through the thickness of the nauseating smell that radiated throughout the small cave.
"As a matter of fact, I do." I whipped out the scythe and took a step back, ready to swing it at the darkness that enveloped us.
There was a loud swishing noise as I plunged the scythe straight down, opening up a bright purple vortex similar to the color of the scythe's blade.
"Ladies first," I said with a mock bow, indicating to Nelo that I was talking to him. A scowl crossed his facial features as he jumped through the portal to the other side. I grinned and stood, following him closely behind.
As soon as I walked through the portal I blacked out.

The first thing I saw when I opened up my eyes was a lot of water. I was lying on my back on wooden planks leading out into the dark abyss.
I slowly sat up, pain shot through my back. I obviously was in that position for too long.
"Need any help, Soul?" Nelo Angelo looked down at me with an outstretched hand. I took his offering and he pulled me up to my feet.
"Thanks," I said, stretching my back's sore muscles. I released a sigh and looked upwards toward the heavens. The Earth's moon was full and bright. Stars were scattered across the black sky, peaking from dark clouds threatening to swallow them up.
"Guess we'll finally get to meet your nephew," Nelo said.
I turned around. A gigantic city began where the dock ended. Some of the streetlights were out but the glow of the neon signs lit up the way.
"We'll need a place to stay for the night. Do you have any human currency?" I asked Nelo. He shook his head in reply. I shrugged and jumped over the fence blocking my way to the city, Nelo imitating me.

I ran a hand through my hair and looked around. The human world was strange and quite confusing. We had already walked in a full circle around the massive buildings. We couldn't tell what was what because the humans named places one thing and what it really was was a whole nother thing.
Crash!
We turned around as a man scrambled onto his feet and ran towards us, blood dripping from fresh wounds. He grabbed Nelo's shoulders and shook him.
"Help me!" He shouted. His voice was high-pitched, giving him the impression of someone who just sucked in all the helium from a balloon. "Help me!"
He looked from Nelo to me. I shrugged. "Don't know what you need help with." I said calmly.
Another crash resounded from inside the building where the man used to lay.
"Monsters, monsters!" His hands flew up into the air as he dashed towards me. "They scared all of my customers away and now their trying to kill me!"
"Demons." Nelo stated. He drew his sword.
I looked down at the man. "And what will you give us in return?" I asked. His eyes darted between me and Nelo. He pointed to the building behind him. I cocked a smile. "Deal. Now run on home." I drew my own sword out.
The man quickly vacated the area, leaving me and Nelo to deal with the nasty intruders to our new turf.
I rushed into the building. No sooner had I arrived that the demons vanished. "Well, where's the fun in that?" I asked no one in particular. I put my most convincing pouting-face on. Nelo came up behind me.
"What is this place?" He asked, looking around the odd interior of the building. We sheathed our swords and explored.
I ran my hand along a long bar at the entrance of the building. My hand brushed into some broken bottles and shot glasses, stinging me and causing my hand to bleed. I could care less. My hand would heal anyways.
Stools, chairs and tables were overturned, knocked over, and broken, blocking my path every once in a while. I cleaved them in two once I got tired of trying to move them.
A gigantic stage was at the back of the building, poles protruded forth, connecting the stage to the ceiling.
I rubbed the back of my neck in nervousness. "Okay... I didn't expect this to be a night club..."
"So this is what a night club looks like. I always thought it would be brighter than this..." Nelo replied turning around in circles to view the whole area.
I dropped my hand to my side. "We need to fix this place up before we open this place again..."
I walked over to a row of doors. I opened the nearest one to reveal an extremely cluttered desk. Blood spatters decorated the wall and the hard wood flooring of the tiny office space. I closed the door quietly.
I opened the next two doors to reveal bathrooms. One pink and the other blue. I assumed that one was for the male humans and the other one the female, but I could never tell. Humans were as unpredictable as they came. I opened the remaining door. Stairs lead up to the second floor of the building. I glanced at Nelo behind me who had been following my movements since the start of our exploration. He followed me up.
There were two more doors. The hall that was separating the two was littered with empty boxes and other useless junk. I opened one of the doors and walked in. It was much like a condo, except with no furniture.
"Looks like he stored nothing buy junk up here," I said, picking up one of the many boxes and tossing it aside.
"Can I check out the other door?" Nelo asked hesitantly. I gave him a cold stare.
"Since when do you need my permission to do anything?" I asked him in return. He shrugged and left back into the hall.
I looked around at the other rooms. I knew which room I wanted to make into what. The bathroom and kitchen were already decided, the toilet and stove were already built in. The room that took me longest to decide was my room. In the end though, I chose the empty room in the corner of the condo. Which, also just happened to be the largest room.
"I can get really creative with this building," I muttered as I broke into a broad grin.
TBC…
Okay, for those who don't know, this is a fanfiction of my fanfiction...LOL. It was a request from an old friend of mine. He really liked my character Herokii and wanted to pair him with his character. His character is male so it would make this story Yaoi. So, if you don't like guyXguy then don't read this. To know what fanfiction this fanfiction is based on, read 'The Devil's Heart' (which is going to be rewritten soon).
