Hey there my readers! Thank you guys so much for the reviews! I didn't think anyone would even bother reading this fic! Well, I'm pressed for time, so here's chapter 2!

I don't own Devil May Cry. If I did, I'd be rich…..which I'm not.


A cloaked figure walked down the huge dark hallway, their black cape fluttering behind them as they pressed forward. Although it was pitch black, they could see perfectly-as if it was daylight.

After a few minutes of walking, they reached a huge door. It was at least 10 feet tall and was covered in golden symbols. Without a word, they placed their hand on it-and had there been any light at all-one would have seen a bony flesh and long red nails. The golden letters glowed, and the door opened-allowing the cloaked figure entry.

Silently, they walked in. Inside was a huge domed room, built entirely out of stone. The dome reached 30 feet up, and in the center of this huge room stood a tall rectangular tablet-also covered in golden symbols.

The figure walked up and bowed before said tablet. Upon doing this, the tablet glowed and a voice echoed.

"Akura…"

The figure looked up, "Yes…my master…" it's voice was hoarse-unpleasant to listen to.

"What news do you bring?"

Akura stood up, pulling a thick notebook from it's cloak, "We have found the old man's notes, and he writes of how to open the portal…"

"Excellent! Tell me how!", the tablet demanded.

"It says that Sparda must be impaled into the ancient stone…that'll break the seal and set you free!" it explained.

The tabled laughed, "Wondrous! Now-do you know where this…Sparda is?"

Akura nodded, "Oh yes! We know! It resides within…Devil May Cry.."

"What is Devil May Cry?" the tablet demanded.

"We do not know, but we shall fetch it-oh yes! Yes!"

"Very well Akura. Fetch me this…Sparda, set me free, and I shall restore you to your rightful body."

Akura laughed, "Really!? Oh thank you master! Thank you!"

"Yes, yes. Now shut up and find me Sparda!"

Still laughing, Akura ran out the huge doors, said doors slamming shut after they left.

"Why is it only crazy people who help evil demons?" the tablet wondered out loud.

Dante stretched as he exited the hotel with Nero, the Ex-Order looking over.

"Well, we have a week left of this vacation. What were you planning on doing today?"
Dante looked thoughtful for a second before shrugging, "Oh, I've got a few things planned."

"Eating pizza?" Nero inquired, crossing his arms.

The Devil Hunter smiled, "Yeah, something like that."

Nero nodded, "Well, I'll see you later…" he mumbled as he began to walk off.

"Hey! Wait Kid!"

The Ex-Order stopped and spun around-his eye twitching, "WHAT!?"

"Meet me at six?"

Nero's glare-of-death vanished and he lightly smiled-the sunlight reflection off his white hair, "Sure. See you later Dante." and he walked away, leaving Dante to head off in another random direction. He had to do everything on his list by six.

Stopping, he pulled out a napkin and looked at the one item written on it: this was his list. After glancing at his napkin, he used it to blow his nose and walked off.

Nero leaned against the hotel wall, glaring angrily at his MP3 Player. 6:30PM. Go figure he'd be late.

Sighing, he stood on his toes and stretched his arms above his head. The sleeves on his jacket were actually pulled all the way down-as they had been since yesterday in order to hide his Devil Bringer.

"Come on man….where are you?" he grumbled to himself, looking around.

Suddenly, Dante dropped down from the sky and landed in front of Nero, stood up and held out a blue box with white ribbon, "SURPRISE!!"

Nero had Blue Rose aimed at Dante-his heart rate skyrocketing due to the Devil Hunter's surprise of dropping from above.

"Damnit Dante! Do you WANT to get shot!?"

The Devil Hunter grinned, "I've been impaled three or so times in my gut, I think I can survive a gunshot to the head, Kid."

Nero shrugged, despite being called Kid once again, "You're probably right. Your brain's so small my bullets would have flown past and left you unharmed."

Now it was Dante's turn to glare, "Oh ha ha."

"So…what's that?" Nero motioned to the box Dante was currently holding.

"This?" Dante shifted said box, "It's a gift."

"Who's it for?"
"You."

"What's in it?"

Dante smiled and held it out, "Well-ya gotta open it."

Nero quirked an eyebrow and shrugged before reaching for the gift. When his fingertips were mere centimeters away, Dante whisked the box out of his range.

"But WHY should I give it to you after you mocked my brain?"

Nero sighed, "Whatever. I don't care."

"Don't you?" Dante asked as he lightly shook the box-something bouncing around inside.

"No. I don't." Nero grumbled.

"Come oooooooon." Dante teased as he poked the Ex-Order with one of the corners of the gift, Nero looking over.

"You're an idiot."

"You're cute when you insult me." Dante replied.

Once again a small blush light up Nero's face, "S-Shut up Dante!"

Said Devil Hunter's smile increased ten-fold, "Aw! You stuttered! Do it again!"

Nero blinked, "You're acting weirder than normal-even for you Dante."

Dante shrugged, "Whatever you say Kid. Here-" he shoved the box into the Ex-Order's arms, "I'm gonna get a pizza." and with that-he leapt up onto the hotel's roof and vanished from sight.

Nero looked around-expecting someone to freak out over Dante's amazing roof jumping abilities-but nobody had noticed.

"Mommy! Did you see that guy JUMP!? He jumped really high!"

"Don't tell lies Johnny!"

Okay-so someone noticed…

Sighing, Nero looked down at the box in his hands. Dante didn't have to get him a gift…he didn't want one.

Carefully, he pulled the ribbon off and opened the box. Upon peering inside, a small smile formed on his lips, and he gingerly reached in with his left hand and pulled out what was inside.

Headphones-just like his old ones that were destroyed when he first fought Dante about a year ago. Exact same brand and everything.

He set the box down and placed his new headphones around his neck-just like he used to do. Reaching into his pocket-he pulled out his MP3 and played 'Shall Never Surrender.' (If you can guess why I picked that song-then cookie for you! Oh, and Nero has…magic wireless headphones…don't question it. I don't know….they might even exist and I just don't know about it.)

He smiled upon hearing the familiar song, then frowned and looked around. Great. Now he felt like a douche for not getting Dante a present. That was probably part of the Devil Hunter's plan all along!

"Asshole…" Nero grumbled before walking off in some random direction. He needed French fries…


So, we finally see who the bad guy is. Not really. You guys have no clue, huh? Well, that's cuz they're OC. Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Not as much Dante/Nero fluff, but there was some. There's more fluff in the next chapter! XD My next update should be Saturday the 12th, or Sunday the 13th. Whichever one I have more free time on. Until then, leave a review! Reviews make me happy and inspire me to keep on writing.
