1A Devil May Cry Fan Fiction Story

A Angel In Disguise

Chapter One

The sky was darker than usual. The sky was a blood red, mixed with black. It resembled the color of demon blood. This was not the human world anymore, it had turned into a demon world. Everything was so warped and distorted.

Cindy was lying on the ground. It was hard and gritty. She woke up a hour later. She looked around, not recognizing her surroundings. This was not the world she lived in. Everything was dark and evil and distorted. Where am I? What is this place? She wondered. She got off the ground, stood to her feet. She looked around, seeing nothing but darkness. This was not home. Where was her family? Where was she? Maybe someone can help me, I know somebody's here besides me, Cindy gathered. She began moving. The ground felt so hard underneath. She looked down and realized she had no shoes on. Where are my shoes? She also noticed that she had a cotton nightgown on. She must of either been in bed or just going to bed. Whatever the case was, it didn't keep her very warm. Now she had to find some help. She walked forwards, hoping someone would see her. She didn't see anyone. Where was everyone at? Did they disappear too? She figured everyone ran because something happened, or something scared them and they all skipped town. She didn't get the memo.

The place got darker and darker as she went on. She encountered a smooth ground. There were rocks on each side of her. This was weird. It looked like a cliff, but it wasn't. Whatever it was, it was a sign. Then suddenly she could hear a noise from the rock on her left side. It sounded like something was growling. Cindy turned to the left. Now the sound was getting louder. Whatever it was, it wanted her, wanted her dead. Then it showed it face. It was red like blood. Its body was shaped weird, it looked like a cross between a dog and a goat. It had red glowing eyes. It had a blade in its hand. It was coming right towards her. Cindy began to back up slowly. She found a bare wall behind her. Damn, nowhere to run, she thought as this thing had her cornered like a rat in a maze. The thing was glaring at her, growling a feral growl. Then it raised its blade at her. Cindy closed her eyes, waiting to be sliced like a ham. She waited for the blade to cut her open like a pig...

A scream rang out, a death scream filled the air. Cindy slowly opened her eyes. She looked and saw the sound came from this thing. It was in a death pose, arms spread open, eyes were black, mouth was open. Cindy looked down and noticed a blade sticking through it belly. Someone stabbed it from the back, but the thing was so big she couldn't see who it was. Finally the beast fell to the ground. Cindy watched it fall, then she looked up. Standing there was the most beautiful man she ever laid eyes on. He was standing in a warrior pose, sword angled at the ground. He looked like a man who just slain a great beast. He had white hair, that was weird. He was wearing a red overcoat, with a shirt with a vest over it. He had some pants that fit just right. Wow, she thought, am I dreaming? Who is this and why did he save me? She didn't know what to say.

Finally he looked and saw Cindy standing there. Cindy looked down very quickly. What was she supposed to say to him? Personally, she wasn't too sure what to do.

"Hey, are you gonna stare at me all day, or are you gonna thank me for saving your ass"? Cindy looked up at him. Did he just say something to me?

"If you're wondering, yes I'm talking to you". He was talking to her.

"I'm sorry. Thank you for saving me. Why did you save me?" Cindy asked. The man walked around her in a circle, with his sword behind him.

"Because little girls like you don't need to be out here all alone. Plus, if I never came along, you would be a demon's dinner"

'Is that what that thing is?" Cindy asked pointing down at the dead thing on the ground.

"Bingo"

"Who are you? Where did you come from?" Cindy asked. He shrugged his shoulders in a causal way, like she asked him a simple question.

"You wanna know my name? Fine, I give you mine if you tell me yours" Was this guy serious?

"My name is Cindy"

"Dante. So what are you doing out here all by yourself?" Dante asked her.

"I don't know. All I know when I woke up, I was here. I don't' know how I ended up here. Where is everybody?". Dante shrugged his shoulders.

"Like the hell I know. I haven't seen anybody for miles."

"What are you talking about?" Cindy asked. "What happened". She wanted to know so bad.

"If you haven't noticed by now, this is not the human world anymore. This is demonville." Dante explained briefly. That wasn't good enough for her, she needed to know more.

"See the Demon world was sealed away. Then someone wanted to open the portal, and as you can see, they succeeded in doing that."

"So what you're telling me is that I'm in Demon World right now. But I don't understand, who would want to live in a world like that?" Cindy said.

"My brother"

"You have a brother?"

"He's the one who responsible for this crap"

"How?"

Dante whirled around to face her. Cindy was standing pretty close to him. Dante put his hands.

"Whoa, for one, you need to back off". Cindy didn't realize how close she was standing. She backed away.

"I'm sorry about that, it's a habit I have sometimes. So how is he responsible for this?"

"A while back, he wanted to open up The Demon World, for his sake, he wants to be a full demon, just like our father. It looks like he got his big wish." Dante said causually. "If i ever saw him again, I'd proably punch him in the face"

Cindy was so lost right now. She had no idea what the demon world was and what its purpose was, but it was freaking her out. All these strange monsters and demons running around. Guess Dante's right, it's not safe anymore. Who would protect her, she couldn''t protect herself. Wait a second...Maybe he saved her because he wanted to protect her. He would be ideal. He was good at swinging a sword around and he could talk his way out of trouble. She turned to face him. She put a smile on her face.

"So, the real question is, why did you save me?"

"Didn't we go over this before? Because you're all alone and you're the perfect prey for a demon. Demon love lonely pretty girls like you. Plus, i'm a nice guy" Dante flashed his trademark smirk.

"Really? That's the best answer you have? Well, i guess it's good enough. So what do we do now?"

"I don't a fucking clue." Dante said. He looked her up and down. "First thing is to get you into some real clothes, you look like a old granny". Cindy glared at him.

"This was my grandmother's gown, she gave it to me to wear to bed" Cindy answered. Dante snickered at that. "What is so funny"?

"How old was she, like 83 or something? Look, come with me, i got something you can wear. Come with me"

"Fine". She didn't have any choice. She had nowhere to go. She followed him to a weird house. Was this his house? it looked so weird. but it was better than being outside. She followed him in, then she heard him talking, rather arguing with someone. She went to the kitchen door. All the sudden it stopped. She saw another man, who looked just like Dante, except he looked older. And his hair was spiked. What in the hell is going on here? She thought to herself. "Uh, okay, can someone explain what's going on here?"

"Oh, there's someone i want to meet. This is my older brother, Vergil. Verge, this is a young woman named Cindy" Dante added.

"Nice to meet you" Cindy put her hand out. He looked at it like it was something he didn't want.

"Sorry, i don't do the hand shaking thing. Nice to meet you. Suprised He hasn't done something to you by now. My little brother here tends to be a little to friendly with girls sometimes" Vergil said, glaring at Dante.

"Hey, at least i like girls, Mr I'm A Prude over here" Dante said. "Listen Cind, don't mind him, he's a prick"

"I'm not a prude, i respect women, unlike you" Vergil said in a mencing tone. Dante scoffed at him. Cindy was enjoying this brotherly little spat. It reminded her of her and her sisters. Now they were glaring at one another, like they were going to fight or something.

"Are you two alright?" Cindy asked. They both looked at her.

"Yeah, this is what we do all the time. Don't mind us. Just being who we are" Dante said, pushing Vergil lightly. Vergil pushed him back, only he really pushed him. Dante flew back, hitting the wall.

"Uhh! you jerk, what was that for?"

"I don't know, felt like it i guess"

Dante gave him a very dirty look before getting up and brushing hisself off. "Well, i guess i'm done. Let's get you some real clothes huh?"

"Okay, i like that idea". They went to his room. It was a complete mess. "Well, looks like you could use a good cleaning up in here" Cindy observed.

"No, i like just how it is. Here, put this on." He threw a blue dress at her. It looked like a hooker dress.

"Uh, isn't this a little..." Cindy said, eyeing the dress.

"Oh sorry, give that back." He grabbed the dress. "It belongs to a friend of mine. Trish's dress? how did that end up in my room?" Dante said, puzzled.

"Well maybe she left in here on accident. Or maybe..." Cindy trailed off. Dante put his hands up.

"Whoa, it's not what you think! We are just friends, nothin more"

"She's not your girlfriend"?

"Hell no!" Dante yelled.

"Fine, that's all i need to know" Cindy said defeated. Instead he gave her a blue T-shirt and some plain ol blue jeans. "They fit just right.

"Seems like you and Trish are the same size. That's a strange thing. Anyway, if you're hungry, i can order some pizza."

"That's cool by me"

Cindy went downstairs. She noticed Vergil was reading a book. "So what are you reading"? She asked.

"Just a plain old book. I see you've changed clothes, you look nice by the way"

"Thanks, i guess. hey can i ask you a question? Who's this Trish Dante keeps talking about?" Cindy asked.

"She was a girl that lived here a long time ago, but she'e been long gone from here, her and my brother were partners at one time" Vergil answered, not looking up from the book. Whatever he was reading, it must of been interesting. Cindy took a seat on the couch. It was really soft and comfortable. "So, uh if i may ask, who's house is this?" Cindy asked.

"It's my house, but being the nice guy that i am, i let Dante move in. Guess i felt sorry for him. But i'd rather him move in than someone i really don't know."

"Oh, well, i was wondering..I'm not trying to probe or anything. It's none of my business" Cindy said, putting her hands up in her defense. The last thing she wanted to make him mad.

Vergil was was so intent in reading the book, she guessed he didn't hear a word. Just then Dante came running down the stairs. He gave Vergil a disgusted look. He went over to the table and slammed the book shut, right in his face. Vergil's head snapped up, he gave him a look of pure hatred.

"What in the hell is your problem?" He hissed at Dante as Dante stood there, grinning his face off.

"What do you mean? I didn't do anything" Dante said like a innocent child.

"You saw me reading that!" Vergil yelled

"Oh that? come on dude, stop being such a bookworm, why don't get a girlfriend or something?"

"The last thing i need is another headache, besides i enjoy reading very much" Vergil said in his ususal tone. Dante snorted at that.

"You love books more than you love girls, hell if you could marry a book you would" Dante joked, smiling as he said it. Vergil punched him right in his face, Dante fell on his ass, groaning.

"What the hell was that for?" Dante said, slowly getting up, rubbing his head.

"You know why i did it. Because you're a jerk as always" Vergil said. "I'm tired, i'm going to bed. Goodnight Cindy, and by the way, there's a extra bedroom if you need somewhere to sleep" And with that he was gone. Dante was now sitting up on the couch.

"Has he always been mean to you like that?" Cindy asked.

"Yeah, ever since i moved in, he's been a real asshole. Trust me, having him for a brother is not fun" Dante said, waving his hand. Cindy chuckled at this. It was werid seeing him this friendly. "Is he a nice guy?"

"Well, he's alright when he's not mean. Good old Verge, he's a nice guy, i guess. So how do you like it so far?"

"Well, it's been fun so far. I really enjoy the entertainment. There's no need for TV with you two around" She said.

"Hey, can i tell you something? Don't tell anyone i'm telling you this. I think Verge likes you". Cindy looked at him in disbelief.

"Really? And how can you tell you tell?" Cindy asked

Dante looked around to see if anyone was listening, well really Vergil. "A couple hours ago when you were in the kitchen and you were reaching to get a bowl, he was totally checking you out. The only time he does that is she likes a girl. See he won't just come right out and say it, but i know him. If he ever found out i told you this, he would kill me. But my brother likes you"

"Well, if he does, then i don't know what to say. I just wait it out and see what happens"

"Oh, trust me, you'll see"
