Second Chapter! Hopefully you guys like it!

An hour after Alicia had found her equipment, the two got to their destination. A large steel factory. At this point it seemed abandoned. However as they met with the young man who had called Dante earlier. He looked like he had seen a ghost, and to be quite frank Alicia didn't blame him. Humans weren't used to seeing demons, let alone death.

"Are they still in there?" Dante asked, his sword now attached to the back of his coat.

Alicia barely payed any attention, she was shuffling through her playlist on her I pod. This would be her first actual combat. Her blue eyes finally looked upwards to see that Dante was already walking inside the factory. Her eyes changed to bloodshot red as she followed, putting on her earphones. The large muffs covering her ears, however it was built specifically in a way that allowed her to hear her music and the world around her. They were almost indestructible and most importantly, no wires.

The two walked into the factory. There was no light whatsoever. The door closed behind them and they were left in the darkness. This would be troublesome if they were humans, but they weren't. They could see just fine, even when it was pitch black. There was no sound emanating either. "Looks like they know we're coming" Dante scoffed.

"Yes. An ambush maybe?" Alicia wondered if the demons could sense their presence.

They walked for a moment longer before entering a brightly lit room. There were machinery everywhere.

And lots of bodies.

"well, it is an ambush. These bodies were placed here on purpose" Alicia almost saw it immediately. There was a large blood trail that led from another room right to the spot they were standing. She could hear the growls of demons.

"I kinda figured that out already babe" Dante's eyes scattered left and right, up and down. They were definitely surrounded. "well then..let's rock!" He grabbed his twin pistols, ebony and ivory, and began twirling them. He then pointed them at the demon in front of them.

From what Alicia saw there were at least eight of them. She grinned and pulled out Ashura. A red glow emanating from the tip which slowly moved down all the way to the hilt of the sword.

"hah" she let out an almost erotic but powerful sigh. With her other hand. She pressed the button for her I pod. Her loud, metal music booming through her headphones. She quickly inserted her I pod in her front pocket and got into a defensive position.

The demons roared. Most of them looking like large, dismembered dogs with limbs attached in odd places. Their speed was incredible, but they had underestimated their prey. Dante and Alicia were not humans.

"Oh! You're definitely staying in the air buddy!" Dante yelled as he charged upwards toward the first demon dog he had seen. Firing what seemed like hundreds of bullets. The dog being pushed back. It's body riddled with bullets but it barely seemed to phase it. Dante quickly switched out his pistols for his trusty sword. Rebellion. Slicing and dicing multiple demons that tried to blindside him.

Alicia had three demon dogs charge after her. She laughed and with a flick of a wrist, long fire swords appeared out of no where, Charging towards the demons. One was sliced in half as the other burned. The last one had disappeared. Alicia grinned. Not paying attention to the dog. She sheathed her sword and pulled out her I pod. Switching her music to something slow and serene. Her instincts made her twitch for her pistol. She pulled it out and aimed behind her. Firing two bullets without even looking. There was a yelp of a dog before it dropped to the ground. "Stupid demons..always trying to attack from behind"

Dante grinned, he was stained with demon blood. However the bodies were beginning to disappear. They had quickly defeated the demons with no trouble whatsoever. They just had one problem

"Dante" Alicia said, closing her nose. "You reek of horrible demon stench. Is this what always happens?" The red haired half demon now had her headphones around her neck. The music turned off, as if on cue. She quickly put away her gun. Not to give Dante the wrong impression, she had to make it seem like he was in control, or else the trust can turn sour at a moments notice.

"Yeah" he murmured, walking away from the bodies. He rested his sword on his shoulders, still having a grip on them. "Well time to go back. Morrison is gunna pay me later"

Alicia wondered who Morrison was. For the moment the two made eye contact. That's when Alicia noticed his gray eyes. They were just growling at her. They were seductive. It was like she could just float in them, in a sea of gray.

"What?" came the voice of Dante. Who slapped her out of her trance-like state.

"Oh" Alicia quickly shook her head, as if it was going to shake away those eyes. "Why were there so much? I thought there was usually a few here and there. We've just fought off a pack of dogs, so to speak"

"Eh" Dante shrugged. "It's normal. It's usually three or four dumbasses who think they have a chance or a pack of some "demon animals" bent on making me well..fish food" he chuckled, which caught Alicia off guard. She didn't think it was funny at all.

They got back to Devil May Cry just as the sun began to set. Once inside was when Alicia noticed more of the shop. There were ornaments, trophies most likely of his kills, random demons plastered along the left side of the wall. There was also a pool table next to the couch. It looked like it hadn't been used in a while, as the balls were spread around randomly. Alicia quietly took her seat on the couch. The only thing that bothered her was that Dante didn't even bother to take a shower. If there was one thing Alicia hated the most, it was people with Awful hygiene. "God dammit Dante, you smell like shit. Could you take a shower?"

Dante laughed. "only if you say please" Still, he went up the stairs and disappeared.

Alicia sighed. Taking a whiff at her clothes, she needed a shower as well. "And a change of clothes" she murmured. However, she had no clothes. She couldn't buy them that's for sure, and Dante wouldn't condone stealing. "Fuck" another sigh pursed through her lips. "Looks like I'll have to ask him for-" Alicia cut herself off as she stared at the desk. Her eyes widened as she stood up and took a step forward to look at the stack of papers.

"Bills.." A stack of bills were on the table. Which meant one of two things for her. Dante didn't have any money at all, or he refused to pay his bills. Both very stupid.

With a sigh, Alicia plumped herself down on Dante's chair, she noticed a picture of a beautiful woman and instantly recognized the figure. It was Dante and Virgil's mother. She had been dead for a long time. Yet Dante kept a picture of her for his memory. Alicia smiled, moving away strands of her hair from her face. Slowly her hands moved towards the left side of her. Dante's twin pistols were on the table. However, before she could touch them a hand grasped her own.

"Don't ever touch my babies again" came Dante's voice.

"You havent paid your bills" Alicia quickly responded, standing up and walking towards the pool table. She leaned back on it and rested her hands on top of it. "How long are you planning to stay he-" When Alicia looked at Dante she was stunned. His short silver hair was dripping, and he had on a new pair of pants, albeit same color as the one he had just taken off. He wasn't wearing a top. Which showed his chiseled body. It was perfect. Formed abs which were visible..and his face. It had sort of this cocky yet cute type of face. It was rounded and almost complimented his eyes.

"Somethin ya like?" he smiled, looking up then down at Alicia.

Alicia wondered if he was thinking the same thing as her, but it quickly washed away from her mind. "I don't have any spare clothes" Her mouth blurted out before her brain could comprehend what she had just said. "For uh..to sleep and go out"

"And you want me to buy em? As you can obviously see, I'm not in the best position right now babe"

"Ugh" Alicia rolled her eyes and walked up the stairs. "you at least have a spare towel?"

Dante grinned and offered his, which made Alicia disgusted. "Please tell me you have another towel!" She pleaded.

Dante laughed. Yeah babe, just get in there and I'll hand it to y-

Dante was cut off by a shoe smacking him in the face. "You damn pervert!" Alicia yelled. Starting up the stairs after she came down to hit him with her sneaker. "Just give it to me now!"

"ouch that hurt lady" Dante faked his sarcasm, which was extremely obvious to Alicia. "You're not getting anything unless you say it nicely" The joke also came with another shoe in the face.

Alicia sighed. "Can you please hand me a towel?"

"There we go, now that wasn't so hard now was it?" Dante was making his way up the stairs as well. He walked past Alicia and into his room. Moments later he came out with a pink towel.

Alicia almost chuckled, Dante groaned. "Don't ask where I got this" he murmured. Shoving it in Alicia's arms and walking back downstairs.

"Wha? what the he-" Alicia stopped for a moment, Dante seemed to actually be upset. She looked at the towel, it was quite old, but still in mint condition, there was a stain on it..blood? Alicia couldn't tell, but she shrugged and took the towel anyways. Heading inside the bathroom.

The bathroom was quite small. A sink with a mirror, a toilet, and a bathtub all lined up. It only took one step to get from the sink to the bathtub. The bathtub itself was wide enough for her 5'6 frame to actually lay down, but now wasn't the time for relaxing that much. She sighed. Taking off all her clothes, then resting her sword, Ashura and her pistol on the ground as well. She looked at herself in the mirror and almost marveled at her own body. If Dante and Virgil were built like gods, then she was a goddess. She had a perfect hourglass figure. Nice long red hair. Very pretty face that was also borderline cute. Her ocean blue eyes, perfect skin. Great lips. Alicia gave the mirror a wide smile. Showing her glowing white teeth. "Men would go head over heels for me" she thought. Although Alicia wasn't the one to have an ego. She was sure to be the prettiest human alive.

And then it hit her once again. She wasn't human...well fully human at least. Her eyes turned bloodshot red once again. All her senses becoming heightened. She frowned. Hearing the soft breaths of someone behind the door, Dante. "God dammit Dante!" She yelled out. "Would you stop!"

"Alright alright" yelled Dante on the other side of the door. Alicia couldn't help but laugh at Dante's antics. It was certainly a refreshing twist to the horrible and crude humor of the demons.

Turning the hot water on reminded the Red haired beauty of how much she had missed human water. It was clean and new, she inserted her feet first, feeling the hot water refresh her toes, then the rest of her feet. It was too hot, so she lowered it a tad bit and turned the handle for the cold water. The water quickly warmed up and less steam departed from the bathtub. Alicia finally entered the bathtub.

"Oh..that feels good, she let out a little moan. It had been so long since she had felt water like this. Grabbing the bar of soap, she quickly began washing herself off, humming to Chopin's romantic piano. Alicia respected classical music. It was music that defined the 18th and 19th century for humans, and still lives in the 21st century. It always amused her, and calmed her down at times.

Then she came crashing down to the tub. Groaning and grabbing her head in pain. She felt immense throbbing in her head. Images began to appear. And three numbers appeared. 300. "G..get out of my head!" She yelled. More images appeared.

Then a voice. It was kind, soothing, and very feminine. "Alicia" it said. "You know the path"

Alicia groaned, but finally the pain subsided, leaving her wondering just what the hell happened. "Second time...damn it.." Her voice sounding very weak. "Out of all the days..why today!"

The rest of the day was uneventful for the two. Alicia was basically forced to clean the clothes she had just worn, while Dante gave her a shirt and pajamas, both too big for her to wear, however she had no choice. She found herself sleeping in the guest room. Which was a comfortable size. It featured a bed and a window, that's all she needed for now. There was a problem, however. She could not sleep. Hours flew by and still she could not sleep. "Dammit" her voice crackled through the darkness. Sighing, she stood up and walked towards the window, staring at the moon. It was large and bright. "Beautiful"

"I guess this world does have beautiful things" Alicia took two steps back from the voice and reached for Ashura on the bed, but the voice grabbed it and appeared in front of the window. Alicia was shocked, her breathing increased and her heart fell, but finally sighed when the moonlight shined on the persons face

"Virgil" She gave a smile and raised her hand. "I thought it was someone else..could you please hand me Ashura?"

Virgil looked similar to Dante, except that he never really smiled and had his hair spiked up instead of Dante's downed hair. He also wore a blue trench coat. Personality wise, Alicia noted that he never liked guns and preferred sword battles, Virgil also seemed more intelligent than his twin brother, which made her wonder why he was so ignorant when the topic came to humans. Virgil unsheathed the sword and grinned, which caused Alicia's heart to once again sink. "This power is amazing" He tilted his head slightly, his eyes penetrating Alicia's once again. "Is this a twin sword of Yamato?"

Alicia shook her head, in reality it was, but if he were to figure this out, and figure out the true power of the swords when they were combined, not only could it destroy the Human world, but he would become the most powerful demon and no one can literally stop him. "If it was. I'm pretty sure you would have known about it. Besides this sword was just recently created for myself. Not for you"

Virgil looked at the sword. It's red aura slowly appearing. Alicia held her breath. If he put enough of his own energy into Ashura, then Yamato would surely react as well.

However this was not the case. Virgil sheathed the sword and threw it back to her. "I know you are lying, I can sense Yamato's presence, but now I can also sense Ashura's presence. The two swords are related"

Alicia gritted her teeth. "So then why did you give it back to me? Knowing that this sword can give you that extra power?"

Virgil grinned. "I know nothing of the sword, it would be unfortunate if that weapon of yours had..certain disadvantages"

"Are you still trying to destroy the human world?" The thought had been lingering through her mind, if he did then he would become her enemy. She was sure Dante would not sit well with it.

"As much as I would love to. At this moment no. There are other things on my mind. Besides, I do need the Human world at the moment" Virgil leaned out the window. "Look for your mother Alicia, she is still alive, and she's closer than you think. Make haste, you aren't the only one who's looking for her"

"What! Vergil what do yo-" She could not finish, as Virgil disappeared into the darkness.

"Shit...Mom.."
