You wondered who was this man who entered the safe house, he wasn't Vergil and there was no way he could be Dante. He didn't have white hair, the man was tall perhaps taller than Vergil and his droopy dark coloured hair hung over his eyes; they were sharp and colour of red. He grinned, shark-like teeth baring and clothes like a sophisticated rich man.

His hands were covered in white gloves and his eyes peered down at his pocket watch that never ticked. How did he know this place? Did Vergil tell someone else where he lived?

"Haec est domus traditoris?" He said, you couldn't understand what language he was speaking and cleared your throat to speak, silently screaming for his return. "Pardon? I do not speak your language." You said to him, his laughter filling the room and quickly he vanished then appeared behind you, his hand covering your mouth. He grinned and then spoke in the language you could clearly understand, "is that traitor home?" Your eyes widened, another demon...but in the form of a human? You weren't sure how this could be possible but then - Sparda was a demon and he was in the form of a human.

Then it hit you - if Sparda was a powerful demon, then did that mean this man was also a powerful demon? You were scared, you were shaking and scared what he was going to do to you, your eyes closed with tears running down. 'Please come Vergil.'

He had to, you didn't care if you were some damsel in distress who needed rescuing, you had no idea how to handle a demon and only a demon slayer knew how to. Although, deep down you knew you'd be killed...you'd be hurt if you didn't do anything, if you didn't buy time for Vergil to arrive. Quickly, you kicked his shin with your heel then used your elbow to hurt his stomach to let you go.

"Why you little bitch!" He screamed as you had ran away out of the place, he was dangerous and you needed to get away from him. "Come back here! You cannot run," he spat after, chasing after you. With his height, he was easily able to catch up and stopped you in your tracks by roughly grabbing your arm. "Ahh! Y-You're hurting me!" You winced in pain, his demonic eyes peering at you as he laughed.

"Come to think of it, your scent is very lovely. You'd make the perfect bride for a demon." No, you didn't want that. "If I'm to be a bride of a demon, then it will be only to Vergil!" You yelled, the back of his hand slamming to your face, his hand let go of your arm to make you fall to the ground. "Shut your filthy mouth." He glared, looking down at you, "do not speak that name. The sons of Sparda will be annihilated, starting with the eldest." You didn't want that to happen, you couldn't just let him do that to them! The two men you care about in the whole world! The men who were your friends, and one who you self-proclaimed to be your lover.

"I-I can't let you," you knew you couldn't get yourself killed by this man or any demon, you had a lot to do, you had to see Dante! There wasn't a point lying to yourself about how you felt, you thought you could deny it, but you couldn't. You couldn't die without telling him! "You leave them alone." You said fiercely, slowly standing up to your feet and letting him see you weren't going to allow the man to harm the twins. "You'll have to go through me if you're going to kill them."

You glared at him, he could see how brave you were trying to be, "your act is pathetic and laughable. I almost feel sorry for having to ruin that pretty face of yours." Right in front of your eyes, the man shifted and changed. His form changing, growing into a hideous look with his red hues remaining the same, his skin colour becoming darker and his claws sharp. It was easier just to run, to get away from him and pray he wouldn't catch you. His laughter echoing out, people running when noticing the large monster.

"What is that thing?!" Some of them screamed, hiding scared and some others calling the police. It didn't matter to you, as long as you got away, hell, even if you found Vergil that would be nice. "Run! Run as fast as you can, I'll catch you and offer you up to Lord Mundus!"

You weren't sure who this Mundus was, but you automatically presumed he was a demon as well, "you won't offer me to anyone!" You yelled, running and turning a corner then stopped when you bumped into a teenager, "I-I'm sorry." His cheeks turned red, he was kind of cute looking but you could feel the demon coming closer and closer. With instinct, you grabbed him and ran.

"Let's hide in here." He suggested, pointing to an empty garbage bin, not like you had a choice - if it hid your scent of the demon, then it was better than running, already your legs were feeling heavy and slowing on you, you were tired from so much running. Ugh, you always hated PE in school.

While you jumped in and hide there with him, you had covered your nose. "It smells." But you had to be careful to not accidentally inhale the smell too and give away your location. While you sat there with him, his eyes stared at you like he couldn't get them off of you. Maybe he thought you were pretty, but he was just someone you wouldn't see again.

Faintly, you could already hear a voice. "...die!" Then following an echoed scream, "curse you! Filthy traitor, son of Sparda!" Peeping out of the bin, the man opened the can and saw you with the teenager. He didn't like what he saw but didn't think the other was much of a threat then took his hand out for you to take, when you took it, he helped you out of the bin.

"You need to wash when we get back." He said to you, he didn't bother with the stranger, he didn't care about him but only you. Yeah, you smelled real bad because of the bin, when the teen hopped out he headed towards you and smiled. "What was that thing?" He asked, Vergil did obviously think he was stupid but you didn't mind telling him. He'd probably be scared anyway.

"That was a demon. You should head home and wash up, hiding in a garbage bin made us smelly." He laughed afterwards, he had to agree with you on that. "S-So um...shall I see you-"

"No you won't." Vergil interrupted. You giggled, seeing the teen look down scared at the tone of the demon's voice. "Th-Then bye." As he left, "do I detect a hint of jealousy, Vergil?" You asked, teasing him slightly. "You think I get jealous? That wasn't jealousy, it's an ugly trait." But you couldn't believe him, "it's alright if you were, even just a little. It's very cute trait."

He then sighed afterwards, how could you think like that of him? He didn't want to be seen as cute, he wanted to be seen as strong and manly. "Hardly." He replied, heading back home. Then you remembered you wanted to ask him about that demon...and who that demon mentioned. But, he noticed something wasn't right and had faced you, his left hand checking your face and seeing the redness there.

"Did he do that to you?" He asked, "yes but I'm-" He then lowly growled, "how dare he lay a hand on you." He muttered, clearly he was angry and perhaps even wanted to kill more demons. "V-Vergil, how did he find me? I thought I was safe but I wasn't, I had to run and..." Your stomach rumbled after, all that running was making you more hungry than previously.

"It's my fault, I wasn't quick enough." Did he blame himself once more and you could see that, but you hated it when he did. Taking hold of his hand, it still felt cold but that didn't bother you, your own hand was warm enough to warm his. "Don't blame yourself Vergil, you thought I would be safe but I wasn't, he found me somehow. He wanted to get back at you, calling you a traitor...it's because of your father, isn't it?" He didn't seem to say anything and remained silent while heading back, getting close to the place.

"A-And um..." this was hard to ask, his head stared at you, even when you were hurt you weren't crying. "What?"

"The demon said he'd make an offering of me." He was thinking more, you could see he was thinking on how to tell you everything. "What kind of offering? To whom?"
"I-I don't know who he is but he said...Mundus." He stopped walking and turned to face you, he quickly grabbed you and pulled you close to him, hearing the beating heart of his chest.

"I won't allow him to lay even a finger on you." So he knew who this Mundus was, but still you were curious and wanted to know. Your head tilted up to stare at him, demanding in a nice way for him to tell you. "I want to know, if you know something then tell me." You had the right to know, didn't you? He parted away from you slightly then stared at you before giving his reply, "when I came back to the house you weren't there and I knew something was wrong. So I went to find you, I still have no clue how he found you, I shall figure that out soon." He paused, "Mundus is the Demon King. He and my father once went to war with each other. He threatened the human world so my father took up arms to defend it."

When you heard it like that, it was kind of scary thinking about being offered up to the ruler of the Demon World. You didn't want anything to do with him and just wanted to be protected. "Come." He said, taking his leave to head back to his home where you had followed behind. When you finally arrived, you had closed the door and locked it. "I think I might wash up before eating." Even when you were so hungry and your stomach rumbling loudly.

Entering the bathroom and washing up, part of your cheek where that demon hit you hurt but it will settle down soon enough. Once you got out, you had peeked out of the bathroom where he handed you a clean towel then took it from him to dry up. "A-Ah shit!" You cursed, you didn't have your clothes with you! It was still outside on the bed. Peeking out, you tip-toed out to the bedroom, trying to avoid him from looking and went to your bag to unzip it. Looking through inside to find what to wear, "how nice."

You jumped, and quickly turned around and fell on the bed. "D-Don't scare me like that Vergil!" You yelled, throwing your shirt at him as he caught it and placed it aside. Approaching you while you attempted to get up, his leg placed to the side of you as he had leaned forward. His hands on your wrists, stopping you from moving as his face was close to yours and you could see how both noses just barely touched.

"Wh-what?" You muttered, "you were brave and courageous for lasting this long." He commented, your heart beating fast, as he added on, "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you, perhaps I'd go into hell and kill Mundus myself." You didn't want that to happen but you were glad he cared so much. "I believed you'd come, I didn't think once you'd let me down."

Perhaps that was what he needed to hear for your lips to passionately meet his own. His eyes closed when he pressed them, as your own closed as well. One of his hand freed your own to slither around your back to lift you up then parted after. Your cheeks heating up as his face was still close to yours, moving you to have your back pressed to the wall, your eyes shifting down below his jawline. Hands tracing up to his chest then to his vest, unzipping it then undoing his ascot after.

You couldn't dare to do more, his eyes staring down at you with but a towel on and parted. "Get changed, (name). You'll catch a cold." Then quickly left. Your heart beating fast; you didn't think Vergil could be so sensual like that and even for you to stand there before changing.
