Heeeyyy, *waits for bricks to be thrown*

... *nothing*, Sooo, uh it's been just a about a MONTH since I last updated it, but then again I had major writers block when it came to writing how a wanted this to go, I had a beginning and and ending. BUt then there was that middle part. ..Eh, enough of my rambling. ENJOY!


" YOU BASTARDS!, I'm gonna' make you wish you were never born! Why did you do it you sadistic, evil, ASSHOLES!-? I'M GOING TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF YOU BOTH SO BADLY THAT YOUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN WILL INHERIT THE UGLY!, You hear me!-? I'll make you beg for death! Let-go of me! LET ME AT THEM!" Alice screamed in fury, fighting against the people holding her back from two highly frightened males. It took Lady, Trish, and Nero just to hold her at a safe distance from the twins, and that was at the most. Twice had she broken from there grip and used a very, very,very painful touch to torture both of them. Neither complained though, quite upset with themselves even. Dante looked over at his twin in a mixture of fear and anguish, one of the rarest looks he ever made. Well, not until recently.

"I told you!" He hissed at the more calm of the two, one eye squinted slightly.

"Alice! ALICE! C-calm down!" Nero reasoned, trying his hardest to make sure he wouldn't have to bare witness to two brutal murders. Trish and Lady were helping too. And why exactly are they holding a murderous Alice back you ask? Well, they had come over after finishing a mission to find Devil May Cry with two new faces. Actually, one new face to Lady. Who tried to fight Vergil on sight from past memories. After everyone settled down (a.k.a. convinced Lady that Vergil was not trying to destroy the world somehow*) and made introductions. After about an hour of talk or so the subject got around to how Alice came to live there and finally to the bite marks on Alice's neck. Once Trish realistic the poor girl was clueless as to what they really were besides markings, the blond felt the need to explain exactly what markings were and what they did. The whole time purposely ignoring Dante's frantically waving arms and mouthing of ' Don't do it!'. You see, when Alice asked Dante and Vergil what 'markings' meant, they decided to tell her it was just the reminisce of a demons healing. Which was about point five percent true..out of a thousand. Markings are actually, well...

Flashback

" So wait...what exactly are you saying?" Alice queried, slightly confused as what this new girl, Trish, was trying to tell her.

" I'm saying that marking you isn't just some healing 'get-better-quick' scheme, it's way more than that. There are also grave consequences." She said coldly, extremely disappointed and angry at the brothers for doing something like this. The two in question said nothing, one of Trish's weapons were aimed right in their direction: safety off. Dante started to wonder how he got involved only dangerous women that could probably beat him to death. Vergil's own thoughts weren't far off. Lady sat quietly in the corner, eyes still mistrustfully trained on the 'reborn' twin.

" How grave?" She narrowed. Her eyes were starting to narrow and they flicked back to the brothers off and on. Her hearing was directly focused on each of the other woman's words.

" Marking is complete ownership in the demon world, So consider yourself first class property of sparda. Marking a human twice has to be one of the stupidest idea's i've ever heard of.," she turned directly and the two silverettes on the couch," But, since there's no helping that now, I think you at least deserve to know whats going to happen to you. First is your humanity. You can forget half of it. Maybe even more considering your condition Alice. Not only that but you'll be a bit stronger and hungrier than before, a slight plus if you think about it. And your mortality? Out the window, almost ten times your lifespan. Your not gonna be anywhere near forty till about two hundred years. Markings were originally a made to protect a mate and make the couple more powerful. Eventually demons learned it was a blessing and a curse.." Trish paused to make sure Alice took it all in. Her eyes were wide in disbelief, but her face remained calm. Finally she asked the biggest question of all.

" Why... is it a curse?"

" Jealousy. Soon all the demons began mating in a frenzy, they were even overlapping other marks other demons had made. It turned into chaos and eventually marking someone was a challenge to all other demons. A test of power. And guess who just became the prize? " Trish said with a small amount of regret. No, she wasn't immediately caring for Alice for some odd or badly made up reason, she'd never want anyone to be under the imprint of a mark. Hell, she wouldn't even wish that part on Mundus...well, maybe. She focused back on Alice who, in a almost erie fashion, was starring blankly at the two twins.

The next thing everyone knew, Alice was pouncing on the two twins,gripping their bare throats with her equally bare hands. It took a second for Trish and Lady to see that their screams weren't just of fear. After only a few minutes of painful shouts, Nero was called in for back up.

End of Flashback

" Look Alice, we're sorry! But...we just couldn't let you die could we!-?" Dante reasoned, particularly sore everywhere and drained of most his strength. Vergil felt little different. Alice had taken a majority of their strength, most of which was used for struggling against the three for the past couple hours.

" Alice... I..we...didn't want to lose you." Vergil spoke, hating the fact he sounded so emotional and weak. Alice stopped struggling and looked down on the floor, messy raven bangs covered her eyes from view as little droplets of water fell onto the wood floor below.. She let out a few heavy breaths to calm herself before speaking. Her future had just been laid out so abruptly...

" I...need some time alone to think about all this, please?" She looked at her captors, who slowly yet warily let her go. Quietly she made her way back up to Dante's room, everyone heard the door shut quietly. Vergil was the fist to try and go up the stairs after her but he was sharply held back by Lady and Nero. Dante was grabbed on the shoulder by Trish. She hadn't told Alice a critical detail, fearing her sanity might falter because of it.

It was time for an intervention.

" It's just a bite mark." Dante seethed to his co-worker, who decided to take turns telling the twins about the severity of what they'd done to Alice. Dante was first and upon hearing his arrogant retort she pinned him harshly up against the wall, the white surface almost cracking with the force.

" Do you have ANY!, Idea about what you just did?" She bit right back, knowing the easiest way to get to Dante was force. Said man halfheartedly chuckled feigning indifference to the whole situation at large. Trish's eyes narrowed.

" Do you even stop to think that she might not want to be with you for the rest of eternity!-?" She started to whisper each word harshly and tightening her grip by the syllable.

" She can leave whenever she wants..." The younger twin said carefully, keeping his voice a hair lower than a growl.

" If it were only that simple. Did you know that when a human is even a few miles away from their marked their sanity gets shredded away? WELL!-?" Trish looked at Dante accusingly, hurt laden in her voice. Something was up...

" Trish what...happened to you?"

" Not only that," the blond woman ignored him, clearing the pain from her eyes ", but you and your brother are going to go mad in less than a month if she doesn't return the mark. This isn't some high stakes love affair, someone might die. Actually, I'm counting on it. The demon side of you wants to take everything from Alice and make it yours and only yours. Who knows what will happen if your brother marks her before you do, one of you are going to have to. If the jealously doesn't drive the two of you fucking idiots to insanity the hunger will. And each day the pain get's worse... until you eventually lose control of yourself- and I'm talking your mind, body and complete soul- and force her to claim you by whatever means, possibly even breaking her jaw to do so. After that who knows what state you'll be in. You might even trigger your demon form. What then, Dante? What. Then?" She finished. Dropping the famous red coated man to the floor. Dante was at a loss for words, letting the horrors sink in. Images of himself, his own body! , braking her skull between his neck burned his vision. He could almost hear her cries of unimaginable pain echoing in his mind. He couldn't do that to Alice. But the thought of Vergil made his blood boil.

The room was dark as there were pants in the red satin chamber. Every detail could be see even though the window only let in the moonlight. Names were falling of lips as a gasp came from the female. On the blood red sheets a woman sat straddled on a familiar face, biting it's owners neck in a dazed fashion, emotionless. The man had his fingers tangled in the midnight locks of hair, forcing the woman harder into his neck from the back of her head with a groan of sadistic pleasure. His free hand came up to bring a smooth lump of hair across his lips, a disgusting smirk of victory splayed across his identical and sickeningly handsome face. His spiked bangs were matted down from sweat and a cold blue crystal orb starred at him with triumph.

" Too bad, brother..."

Dante had to bite his lip so hard it bled to stop an oncoming transformation and snarl threatening to break free. He looked at his twitching hand, sparking with tiny red shocks, horrified.

" What have I done?" He mumbled into himself. Looking up he noticed Trish was talking to Vergil now, his eyes were slowing getting wider and angrier by the minute as Trish reiterated. He needed to think fast, and he did exactly just that, sneaking with his best effort up to his room to see Alice.

Needles to say when Vergil ran up the stairs to check on Alice after he was done a thundering growl echoed from the room.

All that was left in the room was a note and two very important people missing.

No hard feelings, eh, Verg?

P.s. Good luck finding us.

Vergil practically kicked down the next door in the house and began his search. Almost slightly afraid. The three other house guests starred.

" Shouldn't we try to help either of them?" Nero asked.

"Nah." The both replied in unison.
