Early evening in Fortuna is still bristling with many people. Eager to get last minute of shopping before going to go home before the curfew strikes. Kyrie still managing in the crowd on the business district of the city, some of the few who knew her greeted her. a little walk and she stumble upon the bakery where she was a usual customer.

"Good Evening Kyrie, you're a little late to get the usual bread you always get. It is almost closing time" the baker said to her.

Kyrie smiled at him "It's okay, I just get a cheese cupcake."

"Sure thing, what about Nero?" the baker said as he get the hot cupcake she ordered.

"Nero is a little off the hook lately."

"Why?"

She took a bite of her cupcake, "because I said him so, Dante anyway is around to aid so I let Nero rest for a while." If only the baker knew what Kyrie meant by rest regarding Nero.

"Anyway, have you seen Dante?"

"Oh yeah, he passed by an hour ago, he bought the last stock of my banana splits. I never knew he likes those." The baker wondered why the famous and the son of Sparda love such treats.

"Really now, okay well see you tomorrow, I will first to order wheat fresh special bread you have."

"You are always first in line, you got it Kyrie. Goodnight"

"Goodnight" she left.

Kyrie continue to walk on the city streets, the people became less crowded as she walks by. Still looking for her victim, but alas she never found it. maybe its time to contact help. Stopping by a lamp post, she picks up her phone and dialled Trish.

"Hello?" a sultry voice said that is Trish.

"Hey Trish, right? Listen I need your help."

"What's the problem, demon trouble? Where is Nero?" the she devil asked with concern on her voice, surprising Kyrie. She may be a demon but she knows compassion, concern and love.

"Don't worry, I'm in no trouble. As for Nero, he's grounded for a while. He made a little mistake." Kyrie said with simply.

"Oh really I love to hear it."

"Maybe next time we meet. Anyway, do you know where Dante is?"

"Dante? What did he do?"

"Hmmm..." Kyrie tapped her chin then shook her head and smiled "Well, he is also involved Nero's mistake. Long story, I will tell you when I find him."

"Can't wait. Well he's on cherry avenue, strolling the area there for any stray demons."

Kyrie smiled at her news. Cherry avenue is just around the corner from where she was standing, meaning Dante is just nearby. Smirking Kyrie thought of a plan.

"I may need you help..." she said to Trish who perked up in curiosity at Kyrie's mystery story.

"I'm listening."


Dante walking the open road of Cherry Avenue bored. Most of the buildings in this avenue are still in ruins. Some where still on the process of being rebuilt. Over all there is nothing great to see. He yawned most of the time feeling a little sleepy, not only for the boring sites, but also the cool wind began to kick in.

Suddenly he stopped as he saw someone standing at the corner. His first instincts tell him that the figure he saw was a demon, he slowly move his hands towards his Ebony and Ivory, his two favoured pistols. Then he noticed the familiar shape of its face, he smiled and came closer.

"Hey, Kyrie your a little late for a walk in park. You should stay at home where it is safe." He said in his casual tone of voice which Kyrie sometimes finds a little smug. That's Dante alright.

"Sorry about that, I was just heading home. But I got a few errand to do first." she said in a calm and collective tone as her right hand slowly crawled underneath her coat to draw up the Blue Rose.

Dante already sense the danger he was into as he stepped back. he knew that Kyrie was talking about him. For what reason she was here in front of him, drawing something that will bring him a headache, he might be right: the reason she here was the topic he brought up with Nero in the vicinity of his house, and for talking it to him.

Kyrie didn't know he brought up the topic intentionally with Nero, what she did know is that Dante will also get his fair share of her wrath, for being there is in the crime scene.

Finally the young woman drew out the Blue Rose at plain sight while keeping an eye contact with him, who mentally gulped.

"Hey, what are you doing with that? Don't tell me you're not taking Nero's place." He maintain his casual tone to prevent his ever high ego and reputation from crashing down. He didn't think the Demon world community will laugh at him when he finally cowers at the wrath of a young woman. Not ever.

"No, I will not. I am only here to teach someone a lesson." She said. Dante may see her facial expression still calm and collected but clearly he could see the dark malice in her eyes. If her beautiful hazelnut eyes can kill and burn, he was dead like five minutes ago.

Stepping back while maintaining his facade, Dante said shrugging. "Well I hope, whoever it is teach him a good lesson but don't be to rash on him." He said. From Kyrie's perspective, Dante was already setting up the conditions of his punishment.

"Oh, I will..." at that she came closer, stalking her prey and Dante stepped back little more.

"Uhh, hey I am going by the way and you should too. It's getting late and Trish might be worried where I was." Dante said before mentally slapping himself at the silly words. Those words describe he was out of character and give away his fear to her in a golden platter.

Kyrie just smirk and said "Nero told me you are not afraid of anything. I heard a lot of stories about you, I really admire you. You are a sensible and honourable man, but sometimes lessons needs to be learned." Her tone was so calm that Dante thought he was debating a losing battle with the best lawyer in the world. Somewhat though, in her words he was flattered. She never knew him that well yet she puts her whole trust in him, he could say thanks but from what about she was gonna do, he might reconsider it.

Still though he said "Thanks, I never knew that persons like you still exist in this world."

She blush a little from his remark, "Thank you as well. Now..." she trailed off as she came even closer to him.

The next thing he knew he was walking away from her in a fast pace. Dante was known never to back down from a fight, he always comes out alive and well, Even the worst Demons that walked the Earth trembles in fear as they saw Dante. Oh yes he well built up a big reputation in the demon world that even speaking his name will send fear.

But right now, how come he was 'running' from a innocent young woman?

He swiftly turned to a nearby corner, and suddenly bumping in to Lady and Trish. His face showed relief.

"Hey ladies, nice to see you here but we have to go."

"What's the hurry Dante?" Lady asked confused.

"Well you see.. I got a little trouble..." Trish cut him off.

"Trouble? I'm sure the all mighty Dante can handle a little trouble." She said shrugging.

"Listen it's not what it seems I'll explain later we gotta go!" he tried to go past them but Trish send an small jolt at him making bounce in shock.

"You need to slow down, tell us what trouble is it." Trish said to him.

"Yeah its like, your not the Dante I knew off..." Lady said crossing her arms.

"Well. Long. Story. So let's go."

"We will not leave unless you tell us... hey Kyrie!" Trish suddenly greeted the young brunette woman behind Dante, who really turned white.

'Damn!'

"Hey, nice to see you here and catch that man." Kyrie replied as she went closer to Dante who froze.

Trish kept her facade and Lady is trying her best to stifle her laughs. Trish shot Dante a glance "Is Dante afraid of you?"

"I don't know..." the young woman replied sheepishly then quickly adding " I just wanted to teach him a lesson."

Pretending they have Kyrie's idea on what Dante has done, (Kyrie didn't told Trish and Lady what happened anyway) Trish smiled at Dante. "Well afraid of little girls are we eh?"

"No!" he croaked out.

"Good, because this is going to hurt, forgive me for this" Kyrie said apologetically as she raised the Blue Rose and aimed it at Dante. This action surprised both Trish and Lady, they never expected a girl like Kyrie knows how to handle weapons. Then again there is Nero to teach her right?

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

The crows flew away as the loud echoes of gunfire boomed out of the alley into Fortuna's airspace. After that silence once again ensured. Dante fell down clutching his neither regions and hitting back the pain after Kyrie emptied the six round cartridges Blue Rose into him. He will be fine though, the wounds will heal eventually but still it still hurt as hell. Suppressing his groan and going limp in front of the girls, Dante just closed his eyes and nurses the injured area as possible. He watched as Trish and Kyrie were talking in the end of the alleyway and Lady is keeping an eye on him.

"Be careful next time, Dante. Look's like I'm not the only one anymore who can shot your balls into pieces." She smugly said to.

"You wish!" he snarled back.

"Whatever" she just said and left him to joined the two women in the conversation.

"Hold on, Nero said that?" Trish said.

Kyire sighed "yeah he did so that's why I gave him a little heads up on not messing with me. If you know what I meant"

The she devil giggled at that, often times she own give Dante a lesson on being lazy or something. Lady did the same.

"Anyway, we got Dante from here. Thanks for the story and info. Don't worry know how to handle him. Besides I got a sidekick." Trish said motioning Lady who snickered. If there is anyone in world who would gladly torture Dante, it was her.

"Okay, I gotta home too." She turned towards the opposite direction.

"Hey, are going to be okay gonig home alone, if you want I can accompany you." Lady said concern.

"It's okay, I can handle this. Good night" she smiled and began to walk away.

Lady and Trish waved her good bye before dragging the poor Dante back to their apartment, to teach him some manners of their own.

Kyrie arrived home in less than ten minutes, just because she was walking faster. Slamming the door shut behind her, she took off her coat and proceed to went upstairs. But she to a peek first at the living room, she saw Nero was laying still in the couch with the blankets covering his body. She sighed and went back to the stair case, but she uttered out loudly

"I never knew I was that good at shooting, Trish and Lady were flabbergasted at my actions towards your accomplice."

She could swear Nero trying his best to contain his laughter, she heard snorts from the couch. Then she adds "Thanks for looking out for me out there I bet you loved what you just did." She then quickly went upstairs to retire for the night.

All the time Nero was smiling, not because of what she did to Dante. But he knew Kyrie was no longer mad at her, he know he was already forgiven. The thing to do now is to say his apology to her, and he couldn't wait to do it.
