The Call

The young demon hunter strolls with demon blood coated on his sword while he makes his way to his home. Nero's eyes sparkle in the night as the wind howls, he wishes to be home in one piece from what the demons take quite a toll on him. He sighs in frustration as he caught more demon blood on his boots.

"Shit, Kyrie's gonna kill me if I don't get this off." Nero crosses his right leg as he smears off the demon blood with his left hand, he stops has his eyes widen in surprise and alerts him as he hears a dark chuckle roam within the dead streets and the wind. His eyes narrow as he sheaths his bloody Red Queen into the ground with a instant combat stance, waiting for some action to happen.

"If you're ready to fight, come out and face me!" Nero's tone was a total joke to the dark voice, as it grew louder he fists his devil bringer, as the blue flames ignite and bursts, increasing his Aura.

"...Your presence lingers you...as a descendant, of Sparda...I'd knew the Sons of Sparda would...create a offspring...and lead it into hate, and fear..."

"...Fear? You're just a fake whoever the fuck you are come show yourself and stop being such a pussy!"

The mysterious laughter grew into Nero's cockiness as a entertainment for him, the voice lingers into Nero's ear as dark wind surrounds and weakens him, his movement becomes paralyzed as Nero's scream grows in pain, but his hearing was clear as the voice deepens into his thoughts,

"Find the last Son of Sparda...Dante, and I will decide, or grant...your future..." After that last word echos in Nero's ear, the wind vanquished into thin air, leaving Nero's body yet to move, but leaving him into pain as his heart rate increases.

He breathes deeply, he cripples as he walked into the silent road just blocks away from the street, his Devil Bringer flashes as he fills his demonic aura took over him, he roars within the demonic blood wildly flows, as he dashes away from the motionless road, as more demons appear in a playfully site, less than 3 seconds he wields Yamato and fully slices them, they slowly tears into splits of a rain spray of blood, igniting the Red Queen as he twirls into the flames burns the demons into the ground. Then there stands Nero, his aura dies along with the demons, turning into dust, swept away within the sightless wind.

"Offspring huh? I knew that old man was forgetting to mention me something."

Minutes later Nero reaches to his apartment; he's been living with Kyrie since he saved her from the Savior, since then, Nero has been very protective among her whereabouts and outdoors, which Kyrie thought it was ok, but never complains about it.

"Kyrie, I'm home." Nero's voice was heard as he come from opening the door, he scans the living room as there was a sign that she was asleep. He smirks as he figures it, and heads in the master bedroom. He opens the door as his face light up with joy; her buried in soft sheets and sounded asleep, hugging the pillow as if it was a teddy bear. Nero takes off the coat, his boots and lays his Red Queen next to the closet door as he snuggles into the bed, sliding his Devil Bringer to her small waist as he cuddles next to her.

He hears her giggles softly as she barely mumbles, "I missed you, Nero."

"I'm sorry sweetheart, I'm just too happy to see you." She turns around as she smiles and leans for a kiss, then tucks under Nero's neck, laying next to his heartbeat as it pumps in rhythm.

Nero's eyes begin to slowly falls asleep, until he realized of what he encountered, "Shit!"

Kyrie looks up in confusion, as she hears his tone in worry, "What's wrong, Nero?"

"I uh...I forgot to make a call for someone, I'll be right back ok?"

"Well honey you can do it tomorrow if you like-"

"I wish sweetheart, but it's urgent and important, I'll promise after that I'll go back to bed with you, ok?"

She sighs a little, as she gives him a smile, "Ok, I'll wait."

"Thank you." He smiles back as he kisses her before he leaves the room, and into the living room. He reaches to the house phone and dials Dante's workplace number as it rings for a while.

"Devil May Cry."

"Hey, is Dante there?"

"Dante's in the shower right now...is this...Nero?"

"Um yeah, it's me, he one who helped me from the city Fortuna."

"I haven't heard you since, forever! Don't worry I'll give you a call back as he gets out-"

"Listen, this is important it's about him and me; I need to know where I came from."

Trish's eyes widen as she froze for a minute, "What do you mean?"

"Trish, who are you talking to on there?" Dante's voice shouted from the stairs, Nero hears the voice as he yells back from the phone, "Tell Dante to come over here, please!"

Trish remains silent as she turns her head to Dante, and hands out the phone with no explanation.

"It's for you...Nero."

Dante smiles as he gets the phone from her hand, and answers the phone.

"Hey kid! It's been a while since we last talked, how are you doing?"

"Uh, about that...we need to talk. I need to ask you something."

"Umm, sure! What is it kid?"

"It's about of what I encountered tonight; Some...demonic voice surrounded myself, then it was telling me I'm one of the offsprings of the Sons of Sparda, and while it was speaking to me, it was also weakening my...power as if that voice knew how to tame me down."

Nero hears a sigh from the phone, as he questions him with a bit angry but yet determined tone, "What's wrong?"

"Kid, I'd love to talk but I have plans, we can meet up tomorrow and talk about this. Alright kid?"

"Wait! Just answer my question!"

"Ok ok kid, calm down. What is it?"

"...Did your brother knew something about...that voice?"

"Well...you brought up my brother; he used to be a servant of the Prince of Darkness, last thing I remember is I killed him, along with his master. But, the son of a bitch might be alive. Well kid, I'll let you go for the night, sweet dreams, kid."

"Wait, Dante!" The phone rings dead silent as he hangs up, Nero runs his left palm through his hair as he hangs it up.

"...Nero, are you alright? Is everything ok?"

Nero turns forward as he sees his sleepy but concerned lover near the door, as she looks up a bit wary.

"Yeah, don't worry, let's go to sleep."
