This chapter is a little shorter, but I really like it. I said this once, I'll say it again. If you hate Dante and Kyrie pairing, this is not for you. Any-who, hope you guys like it. Do not own Devil May Cry.


Flashback

Nero POV

"Kyrie I want you to listen to me. I love you so much that I'm willing to leave for your safety. Can't you understand?"

She laid her head on my neck. As if she didn't want to hear anything. She stayed sitting on my lap and said nothing.

"I promise I'll come back"

"When are you coming back Nero?" she mumbled on me. I brought one of my hands to her shoulder and traveled up to her gorgeous face she hid. "I don't know" I told her honestly.

"When are you leaving me?"

"Today" she held on tighter to me.

"Oh…" I can tell she was heartbroken by it, but she was understanding. I feel she was at least trying to be. "Why so soon? You want to leave my presence that badly?" she laughed.

"The quicker I leave. The faster I come back."

"No"

"What?"

"I mean…this is all happening so fast. We just moved in and now you have to leave it."

"You don't believe this is hard for me?" I questioned.

"I can't do this by myself. I want to be with you. My Nero!" she finally looked up with sad eyes and a smile on her face.

"Nero I wanted-"

"I'm sorry" I interrupted on purpose. Removing the tear that leaked to her face. "If you don't wait for me. I'll understand-"

"No you want" she said firmly before getting off me and leaving the room completely.

I waited for everything to be silent before talking. "Are you happy now? She hates me."

Would you rather go with the first plan and take her blood?

"No"


Lady POV

"You didn't have to do this," I told Nero as he bandaged my leg. I've been through rougher shit. But he always been the helpful one. "Why can't you just say thank you?"

"Thank you? Your 'dad' attacked me from behind and nearly drained me. On top of that-"

"I get it. I do, but I don't control his actions." As aggravated I am about it, he's right. It's Vergil not him. What more could I ask of him anyway. "On his behave, sorry. He was willing to do almost anything to be free. Part of the reason why I left was to find another way to be separated. I found out a lot about my abilities in the process though." I kept my arms folded as I heard. "I bet you don't even remember anything you've said yesterday, you were so drunk" I teased. He raised a brow at my comment.

"No, I remember everything" he finished bandaging up my leg and I immediately began messing with it. I felt it was holding me back. Like it was mocking me even. I can see everyone now. 'Oh poor thing, she must a fell'. Ugh. He shook his head at my actions, than I continued on the subject. "Everything, so you meant what you said?" he made a strange face to that," Why is it so hard to believe?"

"Killing Dante?"

"Yes" he simply said.

"Kyrie?" I'm actually nervous to hear.

"…"

"You said she would, get the worse. You would hurt even her?"

"Yes, but not in a way you're thinking." I was confused at the time he made that statement. I moved on to the next question.

"What about me?" I said in an overly sweet voice.

"I'll kill you where you stand" I laughed at that and I saw him smiled. Then it became quiet. I let myself linger to the memories we all shared. The fights, break ups, laughs, sorrow, and understanding. This is the closet it'll get…to a family. Dante and Nero are my brothers. Trish and Kyrie are my sisters. Damn it, I'll never tell them that. I hope, that this would all just go away. For everything to go away. Forgiveness… I can't be the only one who at least attempted it. We all forgiven the ones that hurt us the most.

"Nero you don't want to do this" I stated drifting away from the memories. "But I do." He tilted his head slightly. Then he turned away. "My family is crazy." I believe he's talk'n about Dante and Vergil. Uncle and father. I don't believe he knew Nero was his nephew. I still believe he doesn't know. It doesn't give him an excuse for it at all. Something foreign came to my mind. They need to talk. Wow, I just thought about that. Huh, the more I learn about myself. "Look. I know it's bad. Fucked up. But, I… I think there's a better way."

"I'm not looking for a better way. I could care less." Nero motioning his hand away my comment.

"Listen, kid you have-"

"Don't call me that! No one fucking call me that again. It's a… insult to my pride and intelligence right now, okay?" I just nod before continuing. "Listen, man," he laughed at that, "You can fight him. Win or Lose, and then hurt Kyrie or-", "No you got it wrong, I would never lay a finger on-"

"-Or" I cut back in. "You could actually talk to him about it"

"You joking right?"

"Nero-"

"Fucking, I can't. You wouldn't. And it's bullshit you would think I will."

"Just think about it"

"This conversation, with you and me, is over."

"Okay…fine" I dismissed.

"You can leave" I folded my arms defensively. Then he rolled his eyes. "If you want"

"I don't. Not yet anyway."

"Father?"

"Correct" I sat down on the floor. He really needs furniture. Unless he's not planning on staying. "What you wanna know?" he sat beside me. "When did you meet Vergil?"

"He was always with me, but I started hearing his voice when a near death experience had occurred."

"You're mother?"

"Her names Sonya and I got a mental picture of her." He stated pointing at his head. "She was beautiful"

"Is she, on earth?" I couldn't have sounded more awkward. "A disease killed her" it stricken something in me, but he answered the question dancing viciously in my head. "Sorry, it came out harsh. It was something in her that ran in her family." I decided to move on from it. I can't help but wonder how he felt about it. Strangely, how Vergil felt.

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

"No… almost had a sister." A smile ghosted on his face. Then I understood. "Sorry"

"Nah, its fine. They're together." He said it in a matter of fact tone. "Besides, you're my sister"

"Yeah" I answered without a second thought. I didn't really have much to ask at the moment. He glanced at me before getting back up.

"I just want you to be happy again" I said without thinking. He was quiet, so it gave me a chance to continue, "I want everyone to be okay. You're the only sane one right now and…" than I thought about how I sounded and stopped. "Please… I'm listening." I heard him say. That gave me the green light. "You think you're alone, we're here for you. You're needed here and I want everything to just be normal and you're the only one who can do that. Don't leave. Kyrie needs you… Dante needs you. I can't put a gun to his head and tell him how things should go."

"Did you know?"

"I saw the signs. He avoided her, but I thought it was to only set boundaries. I couldn't tell Nero and what was I supposed to do?"

Nero listened and I was shock he didn't show any surprise to my words. "I know… don't cry"

"What? I'm not crying you silly boy" I felt the tears and quickly moved them away. "Need to get your eyes checked Nero?"

"Yeah"

"Seriously, that could be a problem during missions and-"

"I got it" his voice sounded more mature than I remembered. I felt secured. "…It's just hard Lady"

"I know… you won't be alone, I promise." I gave a thumbs up. He gave me a sad smile. He looked as if he was going to say something but stopped. Then he looked at the door then at me. "Can you promise something else?"

"What is it?"

He put his hands up in a calming down manner." Don't burn this apartment down" I was really confused until I saw Vergil walk in with a stride of power as I remembered. In fact, he looked as if he didn't age. Could it be that his physical form froze the moment his soul was released? Does that mean that they are similar in age? "Get rid of her" I heard his voice as it cut through my thoughts.

"I'm not going anywhere… boy" I thought that was the joke of the century. Though his youth does have me a little jealous. "She could stay. Lady isn't hurting anyone" yet. He looked at me, than at Nero before his eyes focused on Nero. It looked as if he showed, emotion for a second, before closing his eyes and opening them back up to his cold stare. "Why must you open your heart so easily to others?"

"You don't mean her do you? I can trust her"

"You love her" he said bluntly. That made it awkward for the both of us. "As a sister. I'm done with love… besides, she's old enough to be your mother" Nero joked.

"No" I said holding back the urge to rip out Nero's hair. I'm not old. He made me feel like a granny. Nero Laughed before, out of nowhere, hugging Vergil.

The cold hearted Vergil. Power hungry Vergil. You get the idea. He looked stiff when Nero hugged him. He looked at me and I humped my shoulders at him. At that moment I saw something in his eyes that I couldn't understand at first. When he let go Vergil quickly straightened himself before Nero spoke. "It's not every day I have that moment. Appreciate it."

"Hm" He responded back looking Nero over. It's quite mind-blowing to see how distant, yet very close they are to each. "Well, we can build upon that later, right now there's something we need to speak about in private." Nero looked at me when Vergil said that. "Your 'sister' can visit later." Nero sighed at that." Lady"

I was conflicted for a reason. That reason being that my mind is commanding me to get revenge on Vergil for my throbbing leg. But my heart was urging me to give Nero the trust he deserves. And with those eyes in a rank of his own, when it comes to the Sparda family, I couldn't have denied him this. It was the right move on my part. Besides, this can be a start of something new. Good or bad, I'll cross that bridge later.

Right now, there's a son who's able to see his demon father for the first time.


Lighter chapter, but don't get used to it. As always I want to know what you guys think. May not seem so, but this is an important chapter. In fact, without this chapter, things could have gotten really crazy. So if you guys can, thank Lady would ya.
