A.N. I know, I know, I've been gone for a while. I have plenty of excuses but I don't think you really care. However, they are valid. Sorry about the length, I have a scatter brain. In fact, I'm thinking of changing my name to that. Not sure, though. I like it right now. But I've kept you long enough, so go read the chapter.

Disclamer: Kenneth is mine! Everyone else belongs to CAPCOM.

Chapter Four: Brothers

Arkham could not believe his luck. He had found the sons of Sparda! And his daughter was going to school with them. Arkham would have smiled if he were the type to do so. Kalina Ann had gone off, making friends with some neighbors he assumed. He just hoped the people of this neighborhood wouldn't get too attached to her. That would be a hard mess to clean up.

Arkham looked out the window to see his wife talking animatedly to a blonde woman as they got inside a car. He tried to get a closer look at the woman Kalina Ann was speaking to but only saw the back of her head as she ducked into the driver's seat. He hoped that was not Sparda's wife. Things would not go quite as he planned if she was.

Arkham held his precious book in his hands as if he were a priest holding a bible. Soon, he would have the power of Sparda, no matter who that woman was. Who knew, maybe he'd work her out to his advantage.


With her lunch tray in hand, Mary looked around the cafeteria in hopes of finding either Kenneth or an isolated spot at a table that wasn't covered with crumbs, orange juice or drool. Unfortunately, the school was overcrowded and that made both difficult. Sifting through the hoards of teenagers, Mary spotted Kenneth sitting at a relatively empty table. She walked up to the table and set down her tray. Kenneth looked up and smiled when he saw who she was.

"Mind if I join you?"

"Not at all." Kenneth motioned for her to sit next to him. "I must warn you though; some friends that sit here are a bit… active."

Mary smiled a bit. She caught the hesitation before the word and knew that he must have understated what usually happened. "I'll keep a look out."

Kenneth laughed and looked behind her. "Speak of the devil!"

"And two shall come," a familiar voice said behind her. Mary whipped around to see the white haired boy from earlier that day sit next to her. Not only that, he also managed to sit across from himself as well. Twins? There were two of these jackasses? "Well, hello again." The boy grinned at her. Mary glared back and turned toward her tray. Maybe if she ignored him he would go away. Yeah, right.

"Well that's nice. Here I am, trying to be nice and all you do is-"

"Dante," the boy's brother interrupted. Mary's head jerked to him in surprise. Even though he had the same voice as Dante, there was a completely different quality to it. It was strange how the same voice could sound so unlike. "Shut up," the twin continued.

Dante glared at his brother who in turn glared back. They sat there in their staring contest for a while before Dante threw a pepperoni at him. His brother slowly picked off the offending food and dropped it to an empty side of his plate. Then, not to be outdone, he reached over, grabbed Dante's shirt and tomato juice and poured the red liquid all over Dante's hair.

"You son of a bitch!" Dante screamed standing up. Students turned in their seats to look at the beginnings of a food fight. Dante inspected his now tomato stained jacket then glared at his brother. "Damn it, Vergil! I just bought this!" Vergil smirked and then continued to eat.

Mary scooted closer to Kenneth and then looked at his amused expression. "You weren't kidding," she said watching the twins glare at each other. It wasn't long before Dante lost his cool and lunged after Vergil, intent on choking him. What he didn't seem to remember was there was a table full of food between them. Dragging both of their trays with him, Dante landed on Vergil and started pounding his face. A good sized crowd had gathered around cheering the fight on. Vergil had somehow managed to gain the upper hand and was crushing his brother's hand with his foot and twisting the other arm behind Dante's back. Then the crowd started to break up as the coaches and rent-a-cops made their way through to the fighting twins.

Mary sat there next to Kenneth with her mouth hanging open. Kenneth on the other hand, didn't seem too worried about the fact that his friends were bleeding and shooting insults at each other. Then Dante laughed as a cop pulled him off his brother. Vergil was smiling too as he picked himself up and that just confused Mary even more. Was this just a game to them?

Kenneth leaned over and swallowed the mashed potatoes in his mouth, "Like I said. They're a bit active." As Vergil and Dante left the cafeteria with the cops Mary smiled. Maybe she wouldn't be so mad at her father for bringing her and her mother here.


The sun glared down on the pavement and the light reflected into the small shelter the creature had made for itself. It couldn't wait for night fall where it would finally be free of the sun's harsh light and carry out its mission. Red eyes flickered beneath a hooded figure, as it gripped its scissors tightly. When the sun went down, it would strike.
