[A/N] Me: Okay, I am now in possession on a copy of DMC1. :D

Vergil: I'm already half way through the game.

Me: Wha-? When? How? Vergil you don't even play video games!

Vergil: Yeah well Dante isn't really a flying squirrel but you don't point that out to him!

Me/Dante:…

Me: Soo…*looks at Dante* You lied to me?

Chapter 3: Old Friends and Older Rivalries

You were currently holding a bucket filled with water. Why you ask? Because the two demons obviously forgot about the fact that the floor was still on fire; oh and apparently Dante didn't see a need to buy extinguisher...Great thinking Dante…

Once that problem was dealt with, and you stoped inwardly ranting about how you'd literally just cleaned before all this happened; you decided to at least try to hear this (maniac) devil woman out.

"Twenty years ago, Mundus, the emperor of the underworld was resurrected. His powers were sealed by Sparda. He's attempting to gain control of the human world once again." The woman, Trish started. "He's going to open the gate on Mallet Island."

You sighed. "Well at least it's on an island this time, that's pretty cool."

Trish gave you a 'how-the-hell-is-that-cool' look. You shrugged. "I'm just saying that since evil is once again threatening the planet the least bad guys could do is pick a nice tropical place rather than a place where you could freeze to death…Like Cerberus's chamber."

She was clearly unamused. You rolled your eyes and folded you arms. "Well at least I don't park my motorcycle in people's living rooms." You muttered. You heard a small chuckle from Dante and gave him a half smile. "Any way I'm going to go for a walk, I'll be back in an hour or so."

You walked though the hole where the doors would be and started down the street. Your mind wandered from one thing to another and eventually trailed to Vergil.

"I have not fulfilled my quest for power, and staying with you is more likely to hinder me rather than help."

"Does this mean I'm not going to see you again until many years later?"

"…From what I can tell, you're still an expert at attracting large amounts of trouble. It won't be too long before we have another 'family get together'."

You sighed, smiling despite yourself. He really hadn't changed for the most part.

"Hello person!" Someone chirped happily. You stopped and looked around for the source of the voice.

A figure jumped down from the fire escape next to you and you quickly stepped back and reached for where your weapon should've been (sadly it was still on the floor in the shop where you'd dropped it).

The figure was dressed in a black hoodie with grey jeans. It stood up and pulled back the hood revealing a grinning girl with semi long black hair with streaks of purple in it and bright lavender eyes.

"Niya?" You gave her a puzzled look. "I was about to shoot you, you scared the life out of me! But more importantly, what were you doing up there anyway?"

She tilted her head and thought over your question. "Uh, no real reason. I just saw the full moon and figured I'd find a high place and get a better view."

You arched an eye brown. "Are you secretly a werewolf?"

She grinned. "Maaaaybe."

You both started to laugh.

"Soo," Niya started giving you a mischievous smile. You groaned knowing full well what was coming next. "How is life with a hot devil hunter? Am I going to be an aunty?"

You playfully hit her arm and she grabbed it feigning pain.

"You're ridiculous." You muttered as you tried to stop blushing.

"I'm your best frieeeend, I'm supposed to be the life of the party!" She giggled. "But seriously, how are things? I haven't seen you in a while."

You shrugged. "Same as usual…except a crazy blond drove into the store on a motorcycle and threw it at him."

"Ah…" Niya nodded as if it were normal. "The jealous ex-girlfriend, I saw that in a movie once."

"See? TV rots your brain." You sighed. "Oh, we're also going to some place called Mallet Island."

"An Island? That sounds romantic."

You shook your head. "We must once again stop the gates of hell from opening."

Niya looked at you puzzled. "Vergil's at it again?"

You looked at her surprised but then remember that you had told her most of what happened once you returned from your trip to Temi-Ni-Gru. "No, this time it's the emperor of hell."

"Ahh…is he cute? What's his name."

"I think his named was mouse rust or moon dust…well something like that."

"You mean Mundus?" Niya corrected.

"Yes-wait, how did you know that?"

"I read a lot, plus my mom has a weird fascination with this sort of stuff; continue."

"Well now me, Dante, and Trish, the lady who drove her motorcycle through the shop-"

"The jealous ex."

"-are going to Mallet Island to save the planet from sure destruction."

Niya clapped her hands. "I'm coming with you this time!"

You looked at her as if she now had two heads. "What?"

"I am coming with you to the island." She said slowly. "It'll be like Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury, like Mario and Luigi, like Mickey and Mouse-"

"You're making less and less sense!" You interrupted. "Besides don't you think it's a little crazy for you to come?"

She narrowed her eyes. "Does a woman who lives with a devil hunter and guards the gates of hell with her life sound any more sane?"

You opened your mouth to protest but nothing came to mind. "Point taken."

"Good." Niya sighed. "Besides Dante taught me how to shoot before, I can aim better than you. Besides," The same mischievous smirk from earlier reappeared. "I want to get a chance to meet Vergil. He will ubber smexy and there shall be love at first sight."

Your jaw dropped. "Say what now?"

Niya started laughing and just walked away leaving you standing there speechless.

You started walking back to Devil May Cry wondering just how much sugar Niya had before talking to you. Niya wasn't loose or anything like that, she was rather smart and very optimistic about everything, though is you got her mad she'd act completely opposite. You'd heard that when Dante first met her she threatened to shoot him where the sun doesn't shine just because she happened to be in a bad mood.

By the time you'd made it back to Devil May Cry, the woman was gone and Dante was apparently mourning the death of his precious desk that was split clean in half.

You looked around and noted that you'd be up all night trying to clean this mess up. "You know if she's 'not our enemy' and she 'wants to help destroy Men-fuss emperor of hell' all she had to do was knock…" You said walking further into the shop. Dante walked over to you.

"So do you think she's telling the truth?" You asked.

"Only one way to find out…"

[A/N] Me: Like Mario and Luigi, Donald and Duck, Deidara and Sasori, Spider-man and…well actually he worked alone for the most part…Anyway, Niya is back from the first story! *cheers* Umm, yeah most likely no side pairing between her and Vergil though. *sound of Niya yelling* :D

Arkham: H-hey guys, can I be in this story?

Devil May Cry Cast: NO!

Arkham: *sad face*

Me: Btw, for all those patiently awaiting it (sorry for the slow start) the fun of DMC 1 starts next chapter. :D Also I'll be reviewing to everyone next chapter cause Dante and Vergil are now fighting over my Elmo plush. (I know! It doesn't make any sense!) See you soon guys! *runs to stop Dante and Vergil*
