A merry tune arose from the drunk devil- swinging his arms around wildly. "Everywhere I go~ bitches always know~ Dante's got a weeenie that he lov-" His song was interrupted by a hiccup, but he continued right along, "looooves t-to shooow~" He slurred very loudly and off-key.
"Since when does he listen to Hollywood Undead?" Nero blinked, as he walked behind the silver haired wonder of the world. Nero's hands were stuck deeply into the pockets of his coat. He shivered at the cold night, pulling his red hood over his head to get some warmth to his ears. A soft groan made him glance from the corner of his eye, seeing the eldest twin rubbing the eye Dante had poked out.
After the little even at the bar, Nero and Vergil both angrily dragged Dante out. Before that they told the bartender to bill the devil hunter. The two had decided it wasn't safe to leave the idiot alone: with the fact he was drunk as hell, and kept their important papers' with the deeds to their living space. "Some lives could be saved." Nero said to Vergil, trying to lighten up the mood. But his comment was ignored.
"How's the eye?" Nero squeaked over Dante's horrible cover of a Toby Keith song. Nero didn't know which scared him more- the fact he knew the song or that the bastard sang it too well.
Vergil's other eye glared over at Nero. His reply was too low and muffled by his palm, that the Bringer wielder couldn't understand him. He decided it might be best to leave it at that.
Besides Dante's singing, they walked in silence. The air was cold and thick, their breath visible in the night. Vergil suddenly it broke by stating angrily, "Wrong eye.."
Nero turned his head to face Vergil, "Zah?"
"Idiot poked out the wrong damn eye.." Vergil said, as he removed his hand. His eye was a bit red and puffy, but it began to go down and regain it's color. Vergil silently thanked the lord of hell for demonic blood.
Nero didn't reply back. Hell he didn't know what to say. Did he want Dante to jab out his other eye? He wondered. Vergil seemed like too much of a noble, high and mighty fellow for his taste. It was bad enough having to walk with the guy; he reekedof demonic pride.
Speaking of which, Nero cleared his throat to get Vergil's attention. "Back at the bar, you never answered my question."
"Oh yes," Vergil said quickly, clearing his own throat to speak. "Years ago, a war raged," His tone growing serious, "Our father was a demon-"
"Gee, I couldn't tell captain obvious." The teen scoffed, blowing a lock of hair from over his right eye. Vergil glared but continued.
"As I was saying," Vergil snapped, his voice snooty. "He was a demon of great honor and power. He was the legendary-!"
Nero blinked and next thing he knew is that Vergil was on the ground, holding his face. The words he said would have made a sailor wince. Nero blinked quickly. His eyes lead up a shadow that covered the blue devil, to meet his opposite. Dante stood over Vergil, swaying side to side like a ship at sea. "I... um...I-I jusssst re-rememememebered!" Dante's voice hiccuped.
"WHAT?!" Vergil screeched, making Nero jump a bit.
"...I got the right eye this time!"

Once again Nero and Vergil dragged Dante off. The threesome came to a small park to rest a little. Nero and Vergil sat down on a wooden bench under a streetlight to plan their next step. For a bit they watched Dante dance around a tree humming some song about a lost love. "Best place he would keep our paper work is at his desk," Nero suggested as Vergil nodded in agreement. "So," He lowered his voice, "We head back to Devil May Cry and get the papers from the shop."
Again Vergil nodded and spoke back, "How are we to explain why we're at his shop?"
Nero shrugged. "I don't think he'll care. He's too drunk to tell his hairy ass from his chin."
"...point taken." The eldest twin grunted, disturbed by that thought.
~*~
The three hunters soon found themselves in front of Devil May Cry. The neon lights flashed and flickered brightly as they neared it. Like Nero had said, Dante wasn't giving two shits of a piss to care. By this time he was moaning to lie down and sleep. Vergil shushed him and demanded the keys to open the shop. Dante patted himself and reached his hands into his pockets. "Uh-oh.." Was all he said. The two turned back to the hungover Dante, who groaned irritably. Nero cocked an eyebrow up as Vergil eyed him suspiciously.
When the red devil didn't answer, his team asked in unison, "What?"
"Um.. I-I think.." Dante hiccuped a little, still slightly drunk. His eyes were blood shot and dark rings circled his eyes. He pulled his pockets out, showing they were empty but seemed normal.
Expect for a rather large hole in his right pocket...
"Please tell me that isn't the pocket you keep your keys in, gramps." Nero said, holding back the urge to give him another smack across the face, homeless or not.
Dante gave a sheepish chuckle, tucking his pockets in. He ran one hand through his hair as he talked. "Fine; I never kiss and tell."
"...." An awkward silence filled them. No sound was made, expect for in the distance a dog barked.

You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling.
Gonna make you understand..
A soft but angry groaned came from under the covers. A slender, female arm reached out to an alarm clock hitting it.
Never Gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you.
"..the fuck?" A dark haired woman popped her head out from the covers. Her eyes twitched in the darkness, seeing it was almost three in the morning. She growled, cursing as she noticed her cell phone lighting up as it played music.
Never Gonna make you cry
Never Gonna make you say goo-
She flipped it open without looking at the name, her drowsy voice said, "Hello?"
"Lady?" A male's voice squeaked over the phone.
Mary's eyes opened half way, grunting in response. That voice sounded familiar. Who was it? Oh yeah that kid. What was his name, Nero? "Um, yes?" She half scoffed.
"We kinda need help. You see-"
"We?" Lady snapped, "You know what the time is right now?! I have better crap to do than listen to some kid's sob story an-" She paused at the sound of an siren going off in the background. "What the hell is that?"
This time it was Nero's turn to go off. "Uh, yeah, kinda what I was gonna tell you!" He snapped right back, making Lady sit up. He began to quickly summarize what Dante had done to him and Vergil.
"Okay so you got locked out? Why are their police and ambulance in the background?!" The female asked.
A deep breath was inhaled as Nero spoke so quick Lady had difficulty keeping up. "Well Vergil thought about breaking down the door but Dante has an alarm system in the house. He didn't want to set it off and get the cops up his ass, so the drunk bastard decides to climb the second story window and unlock the door from the inside. He slipped, fell and landed on a picket fence by the other buildings house. A lady next door saw, called the cops about someone breaking in, by the time they got here the fence was right through his gut and they called an ambulance." Nero coughed, trying to catch his breath. He continued on more slow this time.
"And Vergil?" She asked.
"I.. I don't know," She heard Nero scoff. "As soon as the ambulance came he just vanished." A shuffling sound came from the other side. She guessed Nero was looking around to see if he could spot the blue devil. "Yeah," He confirmed, "He's gone."
"Oh." Lady nodded and thought about the events Nero had explained. "Wait where's Dante?" Lady asked, suddenly worried for the idiot.
"Um.. he's still stuck on the fence." On the other end, Nero looked from the pay phone he was in, watching as some human doctors trying to lift Dante off the fence. They stopped each time as he yelped loudly, making them panic and stopping. Nero wrinkled his nose, knowing damn well he wasn't feeling a thing.
"How's he stuck?!" Lady roared over the line.
"...In his head."
