This was not going to turn out well,he had no idea why he even made himself believe that it would. Nothing ever turnered right for him when it cam to women,what made him think that this time woud be any different?

Ner, kyrie and Dante were all in the garage now. Neor and Krie both by the door and Dante leaninong on the car. It was a jeep,one of the few things that were actually taller than him,so he had the opprotunity to lean onto it. But having underestimated just how badly this ccoud tunr out made his legs feel weaker than ever. OK,maybe that was a bit over exaggerated... He didn't feel all too bothered,but was kinid of wooried for what it may do to the kid.

"So,may I askk what's going on?" Kyrie was standig out in the garage barefoot still in he rpj night gown. She hadn't eaten breakfast yet,so that was one of the reasons she wanted to get right to the point. And,after seeing what she saw a little while ago with Dante and Nero at the door still ad her a littel freaked out...

"Well... We gotta talk about something really important..." He could feel it. This was going to end with someone having tears,and he didn't even know whome it would be. It could be Kyrie,and most likely would be. She would be devastated at seeing Nero leav with someone who killed His Holiness. It could be Nero himself. He would feel awful for leaving her behind with no one to talk to,no one to protect her,all that stuff. It would eat his heart out until there wasn't one left. Or,it would be Dante. Him and his sick,fucked up sense of humor. He'd probably find the whole situation hilarious and just laugh at the both of them before getting in the car and leaving... With or without Nero.

"About?" The young redhead looked at Nero with sense of concern.

From the first time she saw Nero,she always knew things about it. When they were little,it was always almsot too easy to see exacty what he was thinking about what he was about to say. When ever she couldn't then she could tell something really bad or really good was about to happen. As they got older,he got a little better at hidiing it,but it really didn't make a difference with how she grew up "faster" than him. She was always more perceptive of what he was trying to do or say and she herself honestly never really knew why either. But about 2 years ago,he changed. Things started happening,like he didn't always like being by herside,and he wouldn't take he advice as esily as she used to. She assumned that it was just him growing up,but it never seemed to be the problem.

And when Dante showed up,things got even worse. First the Savior event,now this. She was beigning to wonder that Dante had done something to Nero to make him this way. Afterall,as far a she was told, Nero was the one who...

"About something that's going to affect the rest of both your lives." Dante was skipping right to the point. He dind't want to hurt the kid or the girl,but constantly having these akward silences was going to make one of the burst with anxiety,either him or Nero.

The sudden sound of Dante talking jolted both Nero and Kyrie.

"I don't mean to be the one who has to be the asshole,but it's descion time."

Dante's colorful language bother Kyrie a bit, but she was a little used to it,with all the times Nero would fail at cooking or something similarly simple.

"Yeah,he's right." Nero finally decided on what he would tell her, and he knew it would just break both their hearts. "So,recently, you've seen how I've been out and about with Dante. And I know that we've been cleaning up the city and stuff a lot too. But, helping the city isn't the main reaon we're out there all the time."

A small cough jolted Nero again.

"Ok, so it's not the reason we're out there at all..." He looked down for a minute before looking at Dante with a look that just screamed for help.

Dante just crossed his arms and tared back at him with the "grow a pair" look.

Looking back at the ground, he continued. " The real reason that we''re always out is because we've been killing demons. Well,I have really. It's so that he can see if I'm goo enough to take on demons on my own." 'God that felt like a wirlwind!'

Even though Nero told most of the truth behind their outings, Kyrie could tell he wasn't splling the whole truth. "So?" She looked at him intensely, like she usually did when he knew that she knew that he was lying.

Nero shuffled around a bit where he was standing out of nerverousity. He couldn't help it anymore. They were both staring the shit out of him and he could feel it!

"Ok! I told Dante that I dind't want to keep the demon blade that had caused a lot of this mess in the first place! So I told him to take it back,he said he wouldn't jus t"take" it back, that if I really wanted to give it back that badly then I'd have to go with him! He offered,my inner demon told me I should go,I've been tired of lving here and said yes! We shook on it,and ever since, we've been traingin to make sure that I'm ready when the time comes to leave!"

The deed was done. He knew it was. He never wanted it to end up this way. He told Dante the night before that he honestly just wanted to sneak off into the night, unnticed. But Dante gave him the "grow a pair" lecture instead of just a look. So now that today had come around and he did grow a pair and tell her,he felt like cutting the pair off and going back pairless.

The look of shock on Kyrie;s face wasas evident as her red hair. Her mouth hung open a bit,just enough that she could breath comfortably through her mouth and not her nose. Her sholders had slumped from the normal square postion that they're always in. And her eyes, they were as wide as looking at one's self in a concave glass. For a second or two, it even looked like she lost all color in her face.

...

A good 45 seconds passed by in utter silence. Suddenly, Kyrie let out a large breath and put her hands to her heart. The look of shock that she had before was gone entirely now, she looked so relaxed like she could fall asleep rigth then and there.

Nero and Dante looekd at each other for a few seconds before looking back to Kyrie. Nero was still biting his nails on the inside, he was really worried about what Kyrie was going to tell him. Most likely, she was going to yell qat him and tell him that she hated him and stuff like that. Things like that always happened to him, and that was the last thing he needed right now.

Dante was just as calm as ever, he dind't care how things went down... Ok, so he did care, he just dind't care how thigns got done, but he just wanted to go home already. he was tired, and frankly sick of this town.

Author's Note:

Sorry for cutting it off right there. I know that an awful place to break off for the next chapter, but i need to do a lot of editing to all my stories.
