Sweet Blasphemy

Chapter 3: More than one Caring Heart

"Dante?" She asked kneeling on the bed. He didn't show any signs of waking up, he simply went one sleeping. "Dante," She put her hand on his bicep and shook him lightly; all she got was a sleepy groan. "Come on sleepy head, Nero's here to see you."

What the hell morning already? I don't want to get up...Just then the memories of the night before shot back into his head, and he came to the realization, he was still naked, and he hadn't clean up after finishing. Don't roll over whatever you do.Slowly he opened his eyes, trying not to have an expression of guilt on his face as he looked over his shoulder at her.

"Nero's here, he's got a job for you and also I got to fix up your arm again. So come on get up." She gave him a nudge before getting of the bed again.

He waited until she had disappeared out the door before sitting up, the blankets falling away from his chest, so they barely covers his waist. He didn't want to get out of bed, he was sore, and tired, his body aching for a woman's touch after only one night without one. The noise from downstairs drifted up through the open door. The smell of fresh coffee, as well as breakfast was the only thing that made him want to go downstairs. Well, he knew that, that wasn't the only reason he wanted to go downstairs, he wanted to see Aurora. Throwing back the blankets, he got out of bed. The cold air hit is skin, making a tremor reverberate through his body. His arm throbbed unpleasantly as he dressed, the wound from the night before hadn't improved much, all he wanted at that particular moment was to be with Aurora; Dante didn't want Nero to be here. After what he had done, he wanted to be alone to face the beautiful blonde.


Nero stared at her as she wiped down the bar, and pour two cups of coffee, the smell of bacon filling the air, and the soft swishing sound of her large apron. Dante lives in heaven,the younger man thought. He found himself subconsciously licking his lips, as he continued to stare at her. He was lost in a day dream, about her, sure he had Kyrie but when it came to Aurora he found it exceedingly hard to keep his hands to himself. Not to mention that they hadn't done anything yet was driving him crazy.

"So..." He tried to start a conversation with her, "You and Dante?" Nice going Nero, you and Dante? God who asks that?

She giggled slightly, blushing, "No, never, you know how he is. And you've known me long enough Nero to know that I need a man who will be in a stable relationship." She wasn't about to reveal her feelings to Nero, she had done enough damage by telling Lady and Trish.

Just then the red devil showed himself, "Kid stop drooping over her, you've got one already keep your hands off mine."

Aurora blushed knowing Dante was just teasing Nero, but she did like how he had referred to her as his. Setting down two cups of coffee on the bar as he made his way over to the pair. She turned back to her cooking, dishing out the food on to mismatched plates, and pilling more dishes into the already over flowing sink.

Dante pulled his coffee over to him, looking into it, as Nero started talking, "Look I've got a..."

"Kid, not before I've had coffee," The older man paused, a confused look on his face, "Aurora what the hell is this cream in my coffee?"

The blonde turned a deeper blush covering her cheeks, "It's not cream, it's something a little bit stronger." With a small wink she let the bottle of coffee liquor peek out from behind her.

Nero looked between the pair as they exchanged words with their eyes, as Dante drank from his coffee cup. The kid could feel his heart sink slightly, he had seen that look in Dante's eyes before; the half devil next to him was trying to get Aurora into his bed and Nero knew that would destroy her for any other man. "Well breakfast is ready," She smiled setting to large plates of pancakes and bacon down in front of the two men.

"Aurora, I eat already..."

Dante cut him off for the second time that morning, "Eat it kid, don't argue with her."

"Are you not eating?" Nero asked.

"No, I ate earlier when I got up," She answered taking off her apron and hanging it under the counter, "Oh and Dante, I fix your coat."

"Woman, do you ever sleep?" Dante snapped looking over his shoulder at her as she walked towards her bedroom.

"I'll sleep when I'm dead babe." She smirked teasingly.

The tension between them still hung in the air. He had been a little harsher then he had meant to be towards her this morning but after last night he didn't exactly know what to do or how to act this wasn't no ordinary woman this was Aurora. "Hey, what about my arm?"

"I'll fix it in a little bit, after breakfast." Her voice rang out from her bedroom.

Dante turned his full attention to the only person left in the room, "So what the hell brings you to my office?"

"Look old man, I've got a job." Nero snapped back at him.

"So you need my help is what you're saying." Dante watched Nero's face fall at his words.


She laid down on her bed, she was exhausted she hadn't slept a wink all last night. Between her fight with Dante had upset her to the point where she couldn't sleep, but even after it was resolved and she had said sorry she hadn't found peace. She had stayed up fixing his jacket, and doing mindless things like filing all the books in the house in alphabetical order by author trying to keep her mind off of him. She had tried everything to get herself to sleep but nothing had worked. With a yawn she rolled on to her side and closed her eyes. She laid there listening to the men talk outside, trying to ignore the raw pain spreading from her stomach outward. Unlike she told Nero she hadn't eaten today, she had taken her pills on an empty stomach and that was it.

The pain was growing worst and worst with the passing seconds, the cramping was unbelievable. Biting her lip she rolled on her back trying to think of everything but how hungry she was. Her thoughts immediately went to him, Dante name meaning enduring, everlasting. If I hasn't known anything about his personally it would have say his name suited him. His childhood was horrible filled with nothing but tragedy and suffering, and I don't imagine his teen years were any different. That's what made him into the man he is today; strong, rough around the edges, a loner, a workaholic, and if you don't see that you see those dashing good looks. Aurora let out a dreamy sigh, as she closed her eyes, but there he was waiting for her behind his eyelids; his striking blue eyes sparkled as he leaned over her on the couch. Aurora didn't have to even imagine what his voice sounded like because she could hear it from the other room, talking about some mission. Knowing deep in her heart she would never have him hurt but in her dream she could spend hours wrapped up in his arms.


"Dante I need an answer now."

"Kid there is only one problem, and she's in the next room. It seems I can't leave her alone for more than an hour without an attack some days."

"Get Trish or Lady to be her body guard, it's only a few days." Nero looked over his shoulder towards the half closed bedroom door.

Dante's eyes wondered in the same direction as Nero's, "Kid let me make a few calls, I'm not going to let you go into this fight alone it sounds like it could get messy." Pushing himself away from the bar, he went to his desk and started dialing.

Nero smiled inwardly, he was going to try and dig information out of Dante about Aurora. Sure they were friends but to him she was still as mysterious as the old hunter. He too pushing himself away from the bar, but instead of going to talk with Dante, Nero was drawn towards her. He could hear Dante on the phone, but he was to focused on Aurora, leaning against the door frame he gazed at her longingly.

Out of the corner of his eye Dante could see Nero leaning against Aurora's door frame looking into her room. Immediately he felt a pang of jealousy in his stomach, he didn't want that kid anywhere near her. Dante could handle them being friends, and working with Nero but if he so much laid a hand on her he'd blast him into a month from Sunday.

"Hey, kid most women don't like peeping toms." He snapped covering the receiver.

Nero startled and back away from the door slowly glaring at Dante. Smirking to himself the older devil hunter continued his conversation with Trish, "You have no issue with that?"

"No, I can be over within the hour." Trish's voice answered through the receiver.

"Alright sounds good, I'll see you soon." Dante tossed the phone back on the cradle before walking toward Aurora's room. "Trish is coming to take care of her, you better be ready because you know I wait for no one."

"Dante I'm the one who brought you the job, you do things my way." Nero snapped.

Dante could hear the whinny immature 16 year old boy voice coming from the 21 year old, "Look, that's another think woman already have a pussy they don't need another one. So quite you're whining and man up. I don't know how Kyrie is still dating you." Dante saw the anger flash in Nero's eyes.

"That's none of your business. Now hurry up I want to get going."

"There is that whiny voice again." Dante pushed past Nero and into Aurora's room, "Plus we have to wait for Trish."

"I thought you said women didn't like peeping toms; well I don't think they like men entering their rooms while they sleep." Nero snapped as Dante sat on Aurora's bedside and leaned over her.

Dante glared at Nero as he leaned down over the blonde, "Aurora, wake up." It didn't take much the young woman awoke at the sound of his voice.

"What is it?" She asked startled.

"Look I've got a mission, Trish is going to come look out for you while I'm gone. I don't know how long I'm going to be away for." He told her quietly. He could see how tired she was, he had heard her up throughout the night, rummaging around; but he had also heard her leave to go get medical supplies early this morning.

"Oh... okay I'll fix your arm up." She smiled sleepily starting to get up.

"No, I can do that myself, go back to sleep. I'll see you in a few days okay."

Nodding she laid back down, she was tired to almost the point of falling asleep instantly, "Dante," She mumbled his name sleepily, "I fixed your jacket last night. It's ready for you to wear again."

He didn't say anything he just stood, and laid a blanket over her. Seeing her like that brought him some peace even though he still know the danger she was constantly in.


"Dante, I've got a serious question to ask you." Nero asked as they walked along.

"What is it?" The older hunter looked up as he shoved his hands into his pockets.

"So Aurora?" He started.

"What about her?" Dante felt the tightening feeling around his heart.

"Are you two a thing?"

Dante reeled around on Nero, grabbing him by the collar of his jacket, "You lay one hand on her I'll kill you."

Nero clutched at Dante's wrist with his devil bringer twisting it, "Calm down, I'm just asking."

He let go of the younger man, "Why does it matter to you anyways you've got Kyrie; why would you want Aurora?"

"Because she seems more fun than Kyrie."

The words stopped him dead in his tracks, "You think she's some whore to be bought and paid for."

"Stop being all righteous Dante, it's not like you don't do it. I've been faithful to Kyrie for two years now and nothing I'm getting tired of this shit. Besides I've got urges, I'm a attractive guy why would Aurora go for me?"

He felt that lock snap on his heart, he could barely contain himself, "Nero, do you realize what the hell you're saying?"

"Yeah, I do. You should understand." Nero snapped pulling Blue Rose.

"Oh I understand, I understand perfectly well, but like a said you touch Aurora I'll kill you."

"Why, she's single, it's not like you have any claim to her Dante." Nero was getting more and more angry with the other hunter.

"Because she not some cheap whore, and I don't want to see her hurt because some punk ass kid needs to get off." Dante answered pushing past Nero, ignoring the gun pointed at him.

"You care about her."

Dante narrowed his now red ringed eyes, "Back off kid."

Nero had hit a nerve, smirking to himself he was about to push he luck with the other demon. "You have an issue with me wanting her because you want her don't you Dante." He saw the flash in Dante's eyes, he had gone too far.

Nero found himself on his back, Dante's foot hard on his chest, Rebellion scraping the little bit of peach fuzz of his jaw. Nero hadn't had time to do anything to defend himself, "You better be quicker on your feet when we find those demons, because they wouldn't be so merciful as me." Dante made sure he cut into the younger mans pale skin. Nero raised Blue Rose again, trying to get aim at the hunter holding him down.

"Kid, we've fought more than once, and you know I beat you in skill and speed. Shear power is the only thing you have me is power."

"You're threats are empty old man."

He dug the heel of his boot hard into Nero's diaphragm, "So you're not going to believe me." Nero gasped. "I swear, I'll kill you if you touch her, or even think about her in that way."

Just then Nero managed to get his arm free and fire his gun but it wasn't as Dante is was at the demon flying up behind the other devil.
