Disclaimer: Still don't own Devil May Cry. I do own Setesh, Narcisse, Amamalia, Kitanna, Persephone, Ginette, Adalira, Harley and all the other OC's.

Nero lay on his back, in bed, wide awake. He didn't dare move, for fear of waking Kyrie, who was cuddled up against him; her head on his chest.

She opened her eyes a few moments later.

"Good morning, sleepyhead." said Nero, kissing her forehead.

"Morning," she said. "What time is it?"

"10:30." said Nero. "Don't worry it's still morning."

"Hmmm?"

"I thought I was going to go crazy staying with Dante, 'cause he sleeps till noon sometimes 1:30pm"

"Wow, really?"

"Yeah but what really bugged me was how loud they were in the bedroom."

"How old were they?"

"Really loud, honey. I couldn't sleep."

"Wow, but wait... isn't Trish pregnant?"

"Yeah. Apparently her doctor said it was okay for her to have sex while she was pregnant."

"Oh."

"I didn't like staying there. Please don't break up with me again."

"I won't. I love you, Nero."

"Will you marry me, Kyrie?"

"Seriously?"

"Seriously what?"

"Are you seriously asking me to marry you?"

"Yeah. I guess I am. Are you saying yes? Wait a minute...get up. I want to do this right."

Kyrie looked bewildered as she climbed out of bed. Nero reached into the drawer on his nightstand, and pulled out a small black velvet box. He crawled out of bed, and knelt down on one knee in front of Kyrie. He held the box out in front of her He opened it to reveal a ring with a white gold band, sporting a single princess cut diamond. Kyrie gasped.

"Kyrie, will you marry me?"

"Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!" Kyrie cried.

"Oh my goodness is not an answer," said Nero, standing up.

"Of course I will."

"You'll marry me?"

"Yes!" Cried Kyrie, leaping into his arms.

******

"I can't hold it in!" Setesh screamed. "I'm gonna loose it! I mean it, I'm gonna blow up! Cover her ears or something! ANYTHING!"

Kitanna looked a little bewildered, perhaps she was still trying to work out in her head who Setesh was, but she covered her daughter's ears. And then true to her word Setesh lost it.

"FUCK!!!!" she screamed, dropping to his knees and grabbing two fist full of red curls. "WHY?!"

Tears of sadness as well as anger rolled down Setesh's pale freckled cheeks.
"What's going to happen to me, now?"

"Are you done swearing Setesh?" asked Vergil.

"Yeah," Setesh sobbed. Kitanna uncovered Persephone's ears. Persephone looked at Setesh and noticed that she was crying. The little girl went over to the young woman.

"Why are you crying, Setesh?" the little girl asked.

"I'M WORTHLESS! I PROBABLY NEVER MEANT ANYTHING, ANYWAY!" Setesh wailed, the tears now falling down her cheeks faster.

"You're not worthless, Setesh..." said Persephone, trying to comfort the red head.

Kitanna walked over and knelt, she so was on even level with the red head.

"I understand this must be awkward for you," Kitanna said.

"AKWARD!?" Setesh cried. "YEAH, THIS IS SURE AS HELL AKWARD!"

"Persephone, honey why don't you go upstairs and let the grownups talk...okay?" Kitanna suggested.

"Okay," said Persephone. "Daddy are you..."

"Now's not a good time for questions, baby..." said Vergil. "Do as your mother says and go upstairs."

Persephone nodded and skipped upstairs.

"So you're just going to come in here after being gone practically her whole life and just start being her mom?!" Setesh asked.

"You have no authority over my child! You are not her mother," said Kitanna.

"Oh really? Well I wasn't saying that I did have any authority over her. But I have been the closest thing she's had to a mother during the past four years."

"I am her mother!"

"So you call being MIA her entire life being her mom?!"

"What exactly are you saying?!"

"I'm saying..."

"Ladies..." Vergil interjected. "Please stop this."

The two women glared at each other but ceased yelling.

"Now, what is this really about, Setesh?"

"I mean nothing to you now, Vergil!" Setesh sobbed. "You're gonna break up with me!"

"Did I say that?"

"You don't have to!" Setesh bawled. "Why keep me around? You don't love me, Vergil!"

"You think I'm kicking you out?" Vergil asked.

"Breaking up with me and kicking me out!"

"Oh, I get it now." Said Kitanna, figuring out why Setesh was upset.

"What do you get, now?" Vergil asked Kitanna.

"She's your girlfriend, isn't she?"

"Well yes, she is. Setesh has been my girlfriend on and off for the past four years."

"Setesh..." Vergil started.

"Yeah it's okay Vergil, I get it...we're through and you're kicking me out..."

"I'm breaking up with you. But I didn't say I was kicking you out."

"Well, you don't have to, Vergil. I'm kicking myself out, because this awkward enough even without me here. I'll go to the underworld and bawl to Narcisse or something. I'll go and pack my stuff now, and then I'll get out of your hair."

"Alright, do what you think you have to."

"Do you mind if I say goodbye to Persephone?"

"I don't mind," said Vergil.

"What about you?" Setesh asked Kitanna. "Any objections?"

"No, none at all." Said Kitanna.

Setesh said nothing else. She headed upstairs. She packed her clothes, magazines, essentials and of course her weapons. She put all of her stuff at the top of the stairs, before going to Persephone's bedroom door and knocking on it.

"Come in," the little girl said.

"Hi sweetie, I just wanted to say goodbye." Setesh said, tears falling down her cheeks all over again.

"Goodbye? You're leaving Setesh? Will I see you again?"

"Yeah, I am leaving. And I don't know if we'll see each other again. Your Daddy and I aren't together anymore."

"Oh...was that why you were crying before because you knew my daddy was going to break up with you because my mommy is back?"

"Yes."

"Daddy's broken up with you before...you didn't cry then, Setesh. You got angry with Daddy and you said some bad words."

"Sephy, things are different now."

"How?"

"For one thing I am madly in love with your Daddy, but he doesn't love me back. I wanted my fairy tale, honey. But it looks like I'm going to get it."

Persephone went over to her bed. She retrieved her stuffed unicorn from on top of her bed. She crawled back over to Setesh.

"Setesh, this is Rainbow." She said, introducing her unicorn. "Rainbow is a magical wishing granting unicorn. If you have a wish, and you tell the wish to Rainbow, she'll make it come true. You have to hug her and say 'Rainbow, I wish'..."

Persephone handed Setesh, Rainbow. Setesh smiled, hugged the stuffed mythical beast and said, "Rainbow, I wish that I will get my fairy tale soon."

Setesh handed Rainbow back to Persephone.

"I have to go now, sweetie." said Setesh. "I do hope we see each other again."

"I do too, Setesh. Bye, bye."

*Meanwhile downstairs*

"Why did you leave, Kitanna?" Vergil asked.

"My mother thinks it would be unwise to unite the demon power house families. So she objects to me marrying you. But she can so get over herself."

"She has a point. If we got married it would unite the power families."

"I don't give a shit about that though. I love you. You still love me right, Vergil?"

"I never stopped loving you, Kitanna."

"So you don't love, Setesh?"

"I'm not in love with her, no."

"But she's in love with you?"

"Yeah...I..."

But their conversation was cut short at that moment because that was when Setesh came downstairs carrying all her stuff. She sighed but said nothing and left.

******

Setesh dropped off her stuff at her apartment, and then got in her car. She drove to Fortuna. The hell gate underneath the city of Fortuna, was the easiest way of getting to the place in the underworld Setesh was going to see her friend, Narcisse.

Narcisse was Mundus' daughter and she was a full blood demon. Mundus and his creation/minion, Alexander kept Narcisse locked in her room most of the time.

Narcisse had also raised Nero, till he was seven. When he was seven he announced to Narcisse that she was not his mother, and ran away to Fortuna, where Credo and Kyrie's parents took him in.

Setesh banged on Narcisse's door.

"Narcisse!!" she yelled.

"Hmm?" Narcisse answered.

"Narcisse, it's Setesh."

"I'm locked in, honey."

"Okay. Stand back, Sweetie...I'm gonna shoot at the door."

"Alright. Go Ahead, honey."

Setesh drew Castile from its holster and shot three holes, one to unlock each of the three locks on Narcisse's door.

"Try it now, honey." said Setesh, putting Castile back in its holster.

Narcisse opened the door.

"You look like you need a hug, honey bear." Narcisse said. Narcisse gave the red head a big bear hug.

"Thanks, Sweetie. I needed that."

"Come on in, honey." Narcisse said, ushering Setesh inside her room. Setesh stepped inside the room, closing the door behind her.

"So what's up, Sweetie? You look like you've been crying."

"I have been crying." They both sat down on the bed.

"What happened, honey bear? Did you and Vergil break up again?"

"Yeah. Probably for good this time. Kitanna's back."

"Who's she, again?"

"Persephone's mom."

"Oh."

"I feel like shit, Narcisse. I know I usually feel well... indifferent, when Vergil and I break up...but..."

"But you're devastated this time, right?"

"Yeah. I fell in love with him, Narcisse. I'm madly in love with him."

"Oh..honey...I'm so sorry...You know what?"

"What?"

"Honey bear, get up we're going to the human world. You know a good bar?"

"Yeah, there's Bullseye. But do you really want to run into Dante?"

"Dante is Vergil's twin brother, right?"

"Yeah."

"Will Vergil be there?"

'Probably not tonight...but sometimes he is there."

"Well let's hope he's not there tonight because if I see him I will bitch him the fuck out."

"That'll be the least of his worries."

"Then I'll beat the shit out of him. I'm ten times more powerful than him."

'I know, Sweetie."

"So, let's go." said Narcisse, grabbing her purse and opening the door.

"Why are we going to a bar?"

"My famous break-up cure all... lots and lots of margaritas."

"I'm game."

The two women walked into the bar.

"All the action's next door tonight," said the bartender. "My father's attempting to get more business, so he's got karaoke going on next door tonight. He told me to send everyone next door."

"Hi Ginette, "said Setesh. "so this is another one of his hair brained schemes...What does Dante think of this one?"

As she was talking Setesh was praying that Ginette would not mention Vergil. Ginette was Enzo's daughter. She was seventeen years old, although she would be eighteen in a week. She often helped her father out whenever she could, be it bartending, or answering the phone with referrals for devil hunters.

"Whose bartending over there, tonight?" Setesh asked.

"My father," Ginette answered. "I'll be over in a little bit though."

Setesh and Narcisse went over to the strip club next door. Dante was sitting at the bar; Trish was sitting on his lap. They were both chatting with Enzo, who was behind the bar. Setesh and Narcisse sat down next to the couple.

"What can I get you, Ladies?" Enzo asked

"Two margaritas," said Narcisse.

Trish looked at Setesh, and saw her tear stained face. "What happened?" she asked, also because she knew Narcisse's cure-all.

"I got dumped, again." said Setesh.

"How many times has he dumped you now, Setesh?" Dante asked. "It must be a record now."

"Well geez, Dante I felt lousy but you just made me feel worse."

"Sorr-rrry," said Dante. "what was Vergil's excuse this time?"

"He didn't need to vocalize one. Kitanna showed up."

"Oh hell!! In the words of Nero, quote- We're DOOMED!- end quote."

"Why are we doomed, Dante?" asked Ginette, joining her father behind the bar. Ginette had known Dante, practically her whole life; he was like an uncle to her.

"Well we're not doomed immediately," said Dante. "When Vergil and Kitanna get married then were doomed with a capital D."

"Why?" asked Ginette.

"Can I assume you know about Sparda?" Trish asked.

Ginette nodded.

"Do you know about the other demon power families?" Trish asked.

Ginette shook her head.

"The demon power families are the four most powerful demons in the underworld and their descendants," said Dante.

"Who are the four most powerful demons in the underworld?" Ginette asked.

"Mundus, Haller, Amamalia and Sparda," said Trish. "And every so often the three that are still alive compete for power. So we're doomed when Vergil and Kitanna get married, because their marriage will unite three of the power families. Sparda, and Amamalia and because Amamalia is Mundus' sister, Mundus."

"What will happen when the 3 families are united?" Ginette asked, giving Setesh and Narcisse their second margaritas.

"Well there's this demon that Mundus created shortly before creating me," said Trish. "His name is Alexander. He will resurrect Mundus..."

"And then we're fucked, right?" Ginette asked.

"Yeah then we're fucked," said Setesh. "three power families united + Mundus resurrected = one huge epic battle."

"How huge are we talking here?" Ginette asked.

"Like motherfucking huge," said Setesh.

"If I were you Gina," said Dante. "I'd learn to fight. We may need your help."

"Yeah we are gonna need all the we can get," said Trish. "Because once Alexander resurrects Mundus. Mundus will resurrect all of his minions. Hey Narcisse, whose side are you on?"

"Yours." said Narcisse. "I am sick and tired of my father being so goddamned protective of me."

"So who's on our side?" asked Ginette. "So Narcisse, Dante and you, Trish. Who else?"

"Setesh, Megara..." said Trish.

"Lady, Kitanna, Vergil, most likely Nero..." Said Dante.

"And we may have Persephone..." said Trish.

"Trish, Persephone is four going on five...how can she help?" asked Setesh.

"Setesh, Persephone maybe a kid but she owned Nero."

"She owned Nero?" Narcisse repeated.

"Yeah, she beat the crap out of him to get Yamato from him." said Dante.

"And why did Nero have Yamato?" asked Ginette.

"I told him he could keep it," said Dante.

"How is Nero, even able to wield Yamato?" Setesh asked. "I can't even wield it."

"You wouldn't be able to wield Rebellion either, Setesh." Said Dante. "Our sword can only be wielded by us or Meg...or rather that's what we originally thought. 'Cause as it turns out Nero can wield Yamato, which means that he could probably wield Rebellion as well, not that I'd let him, and he would probably be able to wield Meg's sword, Echo, as well."

"Why can he wield your swords?" Ginette asked.

"Yamato, Rebellion and Echo can only be wielded by someone who has the blood of Sparda," Said Narcisse. "Nero's right arm contains the blood of Sparda. It was an experiment the order of the sword did on him. They wanted to see if they could take the blood of Sparda, and concentrate it into a single human extremity. They thought they had failed because at first his hair turned from white-blonde to white, and nothing happened to his arm, but as it turned out they succeeded; his arm changed later over time."

"How did they get the blood of Sparda?" asked Ginette. "And how did they put it into his arm?"

"Vergil," said Narcisse. "And they injected it into his arm."

"How the hell did they get Vergil's blood?" asked Ginette.

"No fucking clue," said Dante.

"We know," said Narcisse and Setesh together.

"How?" Ginette asked, again.

"After Dante defeated Vergil, while he was Nelo Angelo, my father gave up control of him...perhaps my Daddy thought he was dead, I don't know." Said Narcisse.

"Vergil then ended up in Fortuna after that," said Setesh. "He told me that he was very depressed then. He met Kitanna while he was there. She got him out of his depression and he fell very deeply in love with her. So he started living with her, in Fortuna. After a while Santus and Angus figured out who Vergil was. Santus ordered Credo to fight Vergil simply for the purpose of spilling his blood and or knocking Vergil unconscious so they could obtain a vile of Vergil's blood, which they apparently did, and then they injected Vergil's blood into Nero's right arm."

"That's a lengthy explanation," said Dante.

"Thank you captain obvious," said Trish, reaching back to smack her husband upside the head.

"You're welcome, Babe." Said Dante.

"You have lost your speaking privileges, Dante." Trish said.

"What? Why? Babe?"

"You lost your speaking privileges. And why? Because I said so."

Setesh laughed. She began searching through her purse.

"What are you looking for, honey bear?" asked Narcisse.

"My cigarettes." said Setesh. "But dammit!"

"But dammit, what?" asked Trish.

"I was trying to quit so I don't have any," said Setesh.

"I'll go get you some later, honey bear." said Narcisse.

"Thanks, Sweetie." Setesh smiled.

"HEY CHIBI G!" called a young woman from across the club.

"WHAT, ADALIRA?!" Ginette called back. "GET YOUR LITTLE FLAT ASS OVER HERE!!"

Adalira walked over, another young woman was with her. She had shoulder length blonde hair that was streaked with red and brown eyes.

"Your father around?" Adalira asked.

"Yeah, somewhere." said Ginette. "HEY DAD!"

"Yeah, Gigi?! What's up, baby girl?" Enzo called from the across the room by the door. He had just come in from Bullseye.

"Adalira wants to talk to you!"

"Alright," said Enzo. He walked over. "What? No- hey get yo' fat ass over here, tubby?" Enzo added to Dante.

"I don't always have to say that, do I?" Dante asked.

"No, you don't." Said Enzo.

"He turned to Adalira.

"What's up, Addy?"

"Enzo, this is Harley. She wants to audition."

"Did you tell her my policy?"

"Yes."

"But the thing is I'm a tad shy," said Harley. "I get nervous when I dance for just one or two people."

"No need to be nervous, babe." said Dante. "I won't bite."

"I take it you're Dante," said Harley.

"Yeah."

"I'm Harley. Who's the blonde woman in your lap?"

Dante looked at Trish; she was asleep, her head on his chest.

"My wife," said Dante.

*****

Setesh and Narcisse headed back to the underworld after they had both had six margaritas. Narcisse stopped at a liquor store and bought three bottles of watermelon Pucker, and a few packs of cigarettes.

**Back in the underworld**

~Narcisse's Bedroom~

"Hey! What they hell do we need men for?" Setesh asked, drunkenly. "What's so great about Vergil? Why the hell did I fall in love with him?"

"He's sexy, right?" Narcisse hiccupped.

"Oh yeah...oh hell yeah, of course he's sexy! He's fuckin' sexy as hell!" Setesh cried. "Ya' know what? I am so done with him. I am not going to call him tomorrow and beg him to take me back, because I'm madly in love with him. Wanna take a walk?"

"Sure, honey bear."

The two young women walked around the castle, in silence; until one of the heels of Setesh's boots got caught on the edge of the carpet at the top of a set of stairs. Setesh fell on her butt and then down the stairs.

"OWIE!!!" Setesh yelled from the bottom.
