Ch.8- Bloodline (and possibly the beginning of Love)
As hard as he tried, Dante just could not bring himself to tear his gaze away from the young boy in front of him. His eyes were quite possibly the brightest shade of blue he'd ever seen in his entire life, and both were speechless. Vergil decided to break the staring contest, because at this rate everyone would turn to stone from all the inactivity (lol).
"Dante, I see you've met young Lion-O. He's the one who brings me my documents every day, and he's also Luna's son."
Dante almost didn't register that Vergil had spoken to him, but just nodded at what he'd said. He had become so mesmerized by those eyes he almost lost the ability to speak.
"Right. My name's Dante, Lion-O, and it's good to meet you."
"Yeah, it's good to meet you too."
They settled instead on shaking hands, Dante noticing that the young boy had quite a strong grip on him, and felt himself blushing when Lion-O smiled at him innocently.
"Well, let's get going. Lion-O, tell your mom that I'm taking Dante on a special mission and we'll be back soon."
"Ok, Vergil. See you guys when you get back."
And after introductions were out of the way, Vergil led Dante to the car that would take them to the one place Vergil was sure would help Dante regain his memories.
(Paradise exterior)
Kat drove the car through the open gates of Paradise, but stopped just outside of a mansion. Dante was in awe of the beauty of the house, and it seemed as if he should remember this place…but he was drawing a blank.
Vergil and Kat, along with Dante, walked into the house through the front doors. Kat stayed behind the two brothers as Vergil just smiled at his once home, and Dante just took in the layout of the place.
"This was your home."
"I don't remember that."
"You will soon enough. Kat, open the Gateway."
Kat nodded and got to work. She lay out an array and pulled out a spray can full of the substance she'd always used to open Gateways, and this made Dante curious as to what exactly she was doing.
"What are you doing?"
"Our world and Limbo are very closely super-positioned. They often collide in certain places that we call Rifts, much like the one we used to escape from Limbo at the pier. In short, we can use those rifts to create Gateways to and from Limbo."
Dante reached out as Kat was spraying the strange white substance onto the rift array and picked some up on his fingers. Bringing it to his face, Dante sniffed his fingers and grimaced like he'd smelled something horrible, like cheap cologne (and all of us girls know how awful that stuff smells, lol).
"Doesn't smell too good. What's in the can?"
"It's a compound I created based on an old Wiccan spell preparation recipe. It's just the usual ingredients: sea salt, shark oil, snake bones ground into powder, iron shavings, wolf hair, and desiccated squirrel semen."
"Good stuff."
After the Gateway was finished, Vergil spoke up interrupting the conversation between his two companions.
"Alright, go ahead. This house holds secrets, I've found mine- so now it's time for you to find yours."
Dante nodded as he stepped onto the array and found himself being willingly dragged into Limbo.
"How exactly will I get back?"
"Don't worry, we'll handle that part. You just focus on yours, Dante."
"And please be careful, it could get rough in there."
Dante then turned to Kat and winked at her before he disappeared.
"I like it rough."
After Dante disappeared into Limbo, Kat just looked at Vergil with a concerned look on her face.
"Is this really going to work Vergil? He doesn't seem to care."
"Yeah, he's just raw. Kind of like you were when I first found you."
(The Order)
Luna had just finished combing over and picking apart hours worth of surveillance tapes as she looked at the map she had on the table next to her. Using a red pen, she circled the places where demons were most likely to appear in groups. Luna was just about to circle another area when she heard the footsteps of her youngest child, Lion-O.
Turning to look at her son, the first thing Luna noticed when she saw him was the bright pink blush painted across the bridge of his nose. He also seemed to be looking at the floor like it was the most interesting thing he'd ever seen since sliced bread.
"Lion-O, honey, is something wrong?"
At hearing his mother's voice, Lion-O managed to fight off the blush that had found itself painted onto his face. Ever since he'd first locked eyes with Dante, Lion-O couldn't stop thinking of those gorgeous steel blue orbs and the man they belonged to. He thought Dante was really attractive, he was obviously older than him, and taller as well- about the same height as his brother Tygra, and seemed to carry a strong yet rebellious air to his demeanor.
Lion-O did his best to calm down the rapid beating of his heart and focus on his mother as he looked at her.
"N-no, mom, I'm fine."
"Are you sure? You were blushing so vividly just now, do feel sick or anything like that?"
"No, mom…I'm alright. Anyway, I gave Vergil those documents you told me to deliver to him. He also said that him and Dante were going on a special mission and would be back later"
"Good. Now, we need to practice your sword wielding so grab the Sword of Omens and meet me in the garden. Bring the gauntlet too, you need to learn to use both as if they were a part of your body."
"Alright, mom…I'll meet you outside in 10 minutes."
Lion-O then rushed off to grab his weapons, maybe some sword practice would take his mind off of Dante.
(Paradise interior)
Dante had finally made it back to the Rift and felt himself being pulled out of Limbo and back into the human world. He looked at Vergil and this time knew exactly who he was.
"You're my brother."
Vergil just smiled at Dante, at last he finally remembered!
"Your twin brother, Dante. And I've been looking for you for a long time now."
Vergil reached into his shirt and fished out a necklace very similar to the one that Dante was wearing, except the crystal was a little bit wider and more rectangular shaped…unlike Dante's crystal necklace, which was red, this one was blue.
"Our mother gave these to us. I think she knew this moment would come, that we'd find each other soon."
Dante's heart cringed as he remembered his mom Eva, and what had happened to her. But he also had to know what happened to their father, if he was dead or if he was somehow still alive.
"And our father, Sparda?"
"Banished forever. A fate worse than death they say…he's never coming back."
Dante was by this point angry. What had they done to deserve this? What had their parents done that was so awful that their mother had to die, their father was imprisoned for all eternity, and that they were separated? Dante wanted, no needed to know everything that had happened to cause their family to end up this way.
"I want to know more…where we come from, what happened to us, and above all…I wanna know who the fuck's responsible for all of this."
Vergil nodded in understanding, as the three of them headed back to the car and returned to The Order.
(The Order Garden, 6 hours later)
After roughly 6 hours of training, Lion-O was exhausted and Luna was also tired. They'd spent nearly all day training, but she noticed a lot of improvement in her son's sword handling. He'd finally gotten one step closer to total synchronization between himself and the Sword of Omens. His control with the gauntlet was improving as well, but they could pick up on more of it tomorrow. For now, it was time to rest and recover their energy, and Luna walked over to her son that was sitting on the ground in an exhausted heap as she smiled happily at him.
"Lion-O, that was excellent work today. We'll pick up more on sword control tomorrow, for now go inside and rest."
"Ok, mom."
As Lion-O got up on shaky legs, they both heard car doors open and close, a sign that Vergil and the others were back from their mission. They both headed inside and Lion-O immediately ran up to Dante, asking him a million questions a minute and forgetting how tired he really was. Lion-O lost his balance as he began walking right next to Dante, but luckily he was there to catch him. Luna saw how they interacted with each other, almost brotherly in a way…but Luna could tell her son was falling for Dante, which finally explained why he was so nervous hours ago when they talked with each other.
Lion-O then ran back up to his mom with a smile on his face, it seemed he was really excited, and he hoped she'd say yes to his question.
"Mom, Vergil and Dante are going on a mission together and they asked me if I wanted to go with them. Can I go? Please?!"
The question caught Luna off guard for a moment, her little one wanted to go off on a mission with the two brothers without her. It scared her a bit, but she also knew the brothers could look after him.
"Alright, but just stay close to Vergil and Dante. Understand?"
"Yup! I'll even take my sword and gauntlet along just in case we run into trouble, I need to practice more anyway."
Luna just hugged Lion-O and after one more reassurance from her son he ran off to join the brothers on their mission. Luna just hoped she was doing the right thing by letting her son go off with the brothers alone.
T.B.C.- Wow, finally finished with this one! Next chapter will be up soon, with a twist in the story…so, read and review plz!
