(AN: I know in the last chapter… it was boring in the beginning. Totally not the way I was thinking it would go, but hopefully this new chapter will make up for it. Hopefully it will be more entertaining. Reviews are much appreciative. Constructive Criticism though please. I will not tolerate rude comments and it will only cause me to rant at you so be nice in the way you say things. Also it will cause me to not update for months on end… Enjoy!)
A loud crack was heard in the quiet street as Vergil's fist collided with the grabby man's nose. The man howled in pain, clutching the bleeding nose and growled. "Don't just stand there you idiots! Go get them. Get me the girl." He shouted through pained gasps. The others seemed to have just woken up and went after us. There were seven men and three of us. Very outnumbered here. Four men went after Vergil right away, seeing as how he was being more hostile while two were on Dante and one was obviously headed in my direction. I took off from the group trying to give myself some space to use my Elements. Seeing as how I am still particularly new to this, sometimes the powers I control get out of hand and I can hurt those around me.
"Layla! Behind you." I heard Dante yell as I turned to see the man hot on my heels. I stopped quickly and took a sharp left just as the man passed me up cursing under his breath. I had speed on him it seemed and I never viewed myself as fast. I knew he was a Demon the instant I looked into his eyes. He was obviously trying to change forms and I saw that his eyes were not normal… or eyes that a human would be used to seeing. Demons were taken with fire and lightening so I might as well use water or earth. They were more likely to do more damage to him. I summoned a ball of water, making the water go around the man's head. He was practically drowning, but he still took the time to come after me. I hopped back, almost getting hit in the face by his gigantic hand. I couldn't fight either. I knew the boys would have a fair chance if they were against this guy, but they were a little busy at the moment. The man grabbed me and threw me to my surprised, knocking me out of my concentration. I heard gasps coming from him as the ball of water was no longer around his head. He was getting really mad now… My eyes widened as he charged me once again and I brought up a wall of gravel in front of me just as he was about to lunge. Hearing a loud smack I dropped the wall, looking at the man laying on the ground. His head was bleeding and he was obviously passed out. Well one down at least.
Looking back over to the others I could barely tell what was going on. They were all moving so fast, but I could instantly pick out Vergil and Dante. It was… weird. They were obviously in Demon form. What did Vergil call it? Devil Trigger? He also said that it only lasted a small amount of time too and that had me worried. I could easily spot them by their colors. Their Devil Trigger forms sported the colors they wear the most with Dante in red and Vergil in blue. It is particularly hard to explain how these boys looked like… Both had what looked like long coats, red and black armor for Dante, blue and black for Vergil. Black faces with sharp teeth and glowing eyes… So much was going on that it is hard to see exactly what they looked like. Although, Vergil did stick out the most with an odd shaped head it seemed… It kind of looked like a hat, but hey, what do I know right? First time seeing this so I can't say anything. It was actually a little exciting to see them like this.
Reality snapped back to me as I felt myself being lifted over the guy I thought I knocked out. He set me on his shoulder as I tried to struggle out of his grip. This was so infuriating… I definitely did not like this man handling what so ever so I did the only thing that came to mind was reach back and gouge the man's eyes out. Sure, kicking him in the crotch came to mind first, but my legs definitely wouldn't reach because of his long torso so I didn't even try. I could have bitten him, but that would require me trying to move his hand. So gouging his eyes popped in next and he let me go thankfully. As I scrambled away I caught sight of a blue blur beginning to beat the man senseless. I looked back to see Vergil's fists hitting the man's face causing loud cracks and the man to slowly change into a more demonic form. Vergil was flipped off the man quickly and Vergil gracefully turned himself to land on his feet. A loud growl escaped his lips and he grabbed me and pulled me close to him. "You need to get out of here Layla." He growled in my ear as I looked behind us to see Dante fighting off the other men as best as he could. "Layla listen! Take the keys an-"
He growled pushing me behind him as the leader attacked him. He stopped the fist from hitting him with his own hand and twisted the man's arm. The man used his other arm and hit Vergil in the jaw causing him to stagger back. I gasped deciding it was time to fight fire with fire. I brought a ball of fire to my right hand and threw it to the leader causing him to fly back a little ways. Vergil had enough time to recover from the punch and flung himself at the man. I turned just in time to see one of the goons run up to me and grab my arm. As I tried pulling away his hand came across my face causing me to see stars. I almost fell, but he pulled me up and grabbed my other arm holding me close to him. "There there girl. We don't wanna hurt you too bad now. If you struggle you might earn some ugly bruises and you don't want that do you?" I glared at the man and continued to move and brought my knee up to his groin. The man gasped and let one of my arms go allowing me to get away. That was short lived as he grabbed my arm again and spun me around. I gasped seeing his hand clutched into a fist and brought down on me, turning my world black.
…
Feeling my body jump I slowly opened my eyes… well one of them at least. I couldn't see out of my left eye, but with the one I could see out of I spotted Vergil looking very flustered looking over me. He wasn't happy that was for sure, but more worried. I cracked a small smile and winced, causing him to frown even more. I began to sit up, but I felt his hands on my shoulders and whined. "Stay down for a moment before getting up." He said causing me to pout. I looked around and noticed we were in the car and sighed. So we got out of there alright at least. I reached up slowly and touched Vergil's bruised chin gently. He grabbed my hand and pressed his lips to my fingers helping me up very slowly. Looking forward I spotted Dante driving which would probably be a rare event seeing as how this car was Vergil's baby. Feeling arms wrap around me Vergil turned my head to him and looked at me closely. "Hopefully that will start to go away tomorrow or the day after." He said touching around my eye causing me to flinch. "Or it may take a couple more days than I am thinking…" He sighed, kissing my forehead gently. I smiled slightly and hugged him. "Well obviously we got away seeing as how we are in the car, but what happened after I got KO'd?" I asked feeling Vergil's arms around me tighter.
Dante was the first to speak and so I turned my head away from Vergil to look at Dante from the rearview mirror. "After the guy knocked you out, Vergil got in a rage and… well we don't even know what happened. It's like a spike of energy shot out and caused the people around him to fly ten feet away from him. Some of the guys hit buildings, knocking them out instantly and well the others got scared and ran off. The only one that stayed was the asshole that started it all and well… Vergil knocked him into next week." I let out a light laugh and whined as even smiling or laughing caused me some pain. Dante frowned slightly and stepped on the gas more. "Well let's get you home Layla so we can put some ice on that and get you something to dull the pain. Then you can sleep it off." Vergil let out a long sigh hearing Dante and nodding his head. "Damnit your mom is gonna kill me tomorrow." Vergil said leaning his head atop of mine.
…
Upon arriving back at the house we walked inside out of the cold and to the kitchen. Vergil made me sit down as he pulled out an ice pack from the freezer and walked over to me while Dante looked for something to get me. Vergil reached to press it on my eye, but I pushed his hand away quickly. "Let me do it please… It hurts more when other people do it." I said, taking the ice pack from him which he only rolled his eyes at. Sitting down next to me he rubbed my back gently as I tentatively pressed the ice pack to my eye, causing me to whine once again. Dante came back and set a glass of water in front of me as well as two white little pills. "These are small pain killers. They will dull the pain and eventually make you very drowsy so take it when you are ready for bed I suppose. Unless if it hurts that bad to where it needs to stop." Dante said, taking a seat at the table as well. I only nodded and relaxed against the chair, keeping the ice pack pressed to my eye. "Shit…" Vergil sighed rubbing his shoulder and shaking his head. Looking over to him I quirked a brow and touched his arm. "Are you hurt too?" Vergil shook his head and gave me a slight smile. "Just a few bruises and feeling sore. I'm more worried about your mom though…" He said rubbing his head gently. "She's gonna think I beat you." I let out a small laugh, again wincing and shaking my head. "Don't worry Vergil… Just have to explain what happened is all. I won't let her hurt you." Vergil gave me a very serious look only causing me to laugh more which I regretted once again.
"What's going on?" The three of us turned hearing the sound of a tired Mr. Sparda at the entrance of the kitchen. His eyes widened some seeing me and cocked his head to the side. "What the hell happened to you Layla?" He asked, walking closer to us and taking a closer look at my black eye. "A fight… Other Demons smelled Layla and tried to get a hold of her. She got hit, but we got out of there before anything happened." Vergil stated as he rubbed my back some more. Sparda nodded his head and leaned against the table. "That's an ugly black eye there, but at least it will go away by the end of the week. If it was you and someone else Layla you probably wouldn't have been bothered, but I guess because you were in the presence of two other Demons that the men were attracted to you. Also the fact that you are…" He trailed off trying not to make me feel uncomfortable. I only nodded my head giving him a slight smile as a way of saying I understood what he was saying.
Dante scooted out from the table and stood up walking to the fridge and grabbing a water bottle. "Well I've had enough fun for one night so I'm heading to bed. Good night and thanks for letting me come with y'all on your fun little adventure although I think it is the last time I go with you on one." Dante said sticking his tongue out at me and leaving the kitchen. Mr. Sparda was right behind him with a quick good night and I felt myself getting tired too. "Let's get some sleep baby." Vergil said kissing my head before standing up and pulling me with him. I quickly took the pill that Dante left for me, bringing the water bottle with me as we headed up to Vergil's bedroom. "Well the first night I get to sleep with you in your bed." I said with a giggle as I put the ice pack down and sitting on the floor I took off my booties. Vergil changed quickly turning up in a muscle shirt and long pajama pants. He crawled on the floor to me, pressing his lips to mine which eagerly greeted him. He pulled me close as his hands got me out of the cardigan and slowly started lifting my top up and over my head, being careful of my eye. His lips found my neck, sucking the skin slightly causing me to moan and try to pull away from him. He only let out a growl and leaned back some. "Baby, calm down I am not going to mark you. When a Demon marks another it is with a bite so unless you feel my teeth really sink into you, you are fine." He said leaning his forehead against mine as he began to unbutton my pants and tug them down. I leaned back, laying down and lifting my hips so he could take them off easier.
Picking me up and tossed me on my back onto the bed, crawling on top of me. "No no Vergil. I'm getting tired." I said with a laugh as he continued where he left off, kissing and sucking on my neck. I honestly didn't know how much longer I was going to stay up. The pills were finally taking effect as the pain in my eye ceased and I was getting very tired. His lips traveled to the valley of my breasts, as he squeezed them gently and began to kiss the skin. I let out a soft sigh, tilting my head back and enjoyed the sensations he was giving me. Pulling down the cups of my bra I felt the cold air hit my skin and I let out a loud gasp, reaching up to cover my cold skin. I heard Vergil chuckle as I felt his lips extremely close to my erect nipples and let out a soft moan, biting my bottom lip gently. Feeling his mouth around one of them I let out another moan as I arched my back, pushing up into him. His tongue swirled around the erect bud and then he released it. I whined, feeling the cold air hit my skin as his mouth latched on to the other one for a moment as well. One hand gently massaged the breast he had just neglected as his other hand traveled down my stomach. His mouth soon followed after that hand, exposing me to the cold air once again. As his fingers slid under the top of my panties and his tongue ran over my navel, my world went black once more.
…
Feeling cold I curled into a little ball next to the warmth that was next to me. Why was I so fucking cold?! I screamed in my head as I reached for more blankets and pulling them around me. I felt arms wrap around me, engulfing me in even more warmth than before. This was great. I loved the cold because it allowed me to snuggle with whoever was with me. It just so happened to be the best, snuggle buddy ever, but I would never tell him that to his face. He'd be embarrassed. I slowly opened my eyes, yes eyes and looked up at the huge body that was hugging me. My eye felt much better and I could open it a little better than last night, but it was still hard to see. I noticed he was still sleeping and giggled to myself. He looked too cute right now and I didn't want to move too much in fear of waking him up, but I felt the sudden urge to use the rest room.
Carefully slipping out from him I noticed I was in one of his sweatshirts. It must have been his football one, because the only other people I have seen that were wearing these was the team. Since they made it to playoffs, they have been practicing well into the break so they all received sweatshirts for the cold weather. Taking my mind off football I made my way to the hall and to the bathroom to relieve myself. As I was washing my hands I looked myself in the mirror and cringed. I must look way worse than I had the day before. My eye wasn't the dark purple most black eyes were, it was actually black. Then I noticed the red in the white of my eye and knew I must have popped a blood vessel. I looked horrible and frowned greatly. If I looked worse yesterday then I don't know how Vergil could have kissed me like he did… I know I wouldn't have if I were him. Pouting I walked out of the bathroom and running into Dante. He smiled down at me, but it was instantly wiped from his face. "What's wrong Layla? Does your eye hurt again?" He asked, tilting my head up to him and cringing as well at my eye. "Um… well the good thing about it is that it is opening. Looked like you popped a vessel though." He said, touching around the eye and stopped once I flinched. "Sorry." He said sadly. I shook my head and sighed. "Well I know I'm never going out again with you two when I'm… yeah. You two are trouble." I said playfully making him laugh. "Us trouble? You must be mistaking." He said with humor in his eyes. I could only laugh and ran a hand though my hair. "Well I'm gonna go wake the sleeping prince. Bathroom is all yours." I said with a curtsy as I walked back towards Vergil's bedroom. "Prince? Bah, if he's a prince then he's the Prince of Assholes." I could only laugh as I shut the door behind me.
I looked over to the bed, seeing Vergil was already awake. He looked very tired and he gave me a lazy smile as he saw me walk in. I walked over slowly and sat next to him only to be pulled into his lap. "You fell asleep on me last night." Vergil growled, nuzzling his nose into my neck. A chill ran down my spine from the heat of his breath as I ran my fingers through his hair. "Sorry about that… Those pills got to me." I said, pressing my lips to his hair line. He pulled me into straddling him as he cupped my face gently, looking at my eye. He frowned kissing my forehead gently. "I'm so sorry I let that happen…" He said, looking from my eyes to my lips. "Don't feel like it's your fault Vergil. It's not so you have nothing to worry about." He laughed lightly shaking his head. "Oh, but I do. Your mom is going to kick my ass when she sees that." I kissed him gently, standing up and smiling at him. "I'll protect you handsome." I said with a sly smirk while walking to his dresser. Pulling open one of the drawers I looked inside and Vergil stood up quickly, pulling up the back of my sweatshirt and grabbing my hips, running his fingers over my skin. I shuddered slightly as he looked at my rear end. "Hold on Layla. I'll be right back."
I watched as Vergil walked out of the room and quirked a brow. Wait for what? He was just checking out my ass so why did I have to wait? I sighed, walking back to the bed and plopping down on it. Hearing the door open, I sat up quickly and saw Vergil walk in with a few clothes. I quirked a brow at him and he smiled lightly. "Here, these should probably fit you." I took the clothes that were handed to me and glared slightly. "Past girlfriend's clothes?" I asked rather angrily. "No, my mother's." He said walking over to his closet pulling out a blue flannel plaid shirt and some light jeans. I frowned slightly and looked at the clothes. Taking off the sweat shirt I grabbed looked at the clothes presented. A sweater dress and black leggings. At least I would be warm. I pulled on the black leggings first and they fit easily. Of course they would because they stretched. I frowned, feeling I was a bit big for these clothes all of a sudden. Picking up the purple sweater dress I held it up against me. It looked like it would fit. Slipping on the purple v-neck dress I smiled as it hugged me. Not a big fan of sweater dresses, but this was nice.
Feeling arms wrap around me I looked up and smiled as Vergil hugged me tight. "Well I am happy they fit. Now you don't have to wear any of my clothes. You'd be too cold in anything I'd have to give you." I laughed slightly shaking my head. "Um… Vergil. I was just looking through your dresser, because you did that at my house. I was just curious as to what you had stashed away. Remember, I brought a bag with some clothes?" He blinked and growled slightly running a hand through his hair. "I-I knew that…" He grumbled, pulling me towards the door and out of the room and down to the kitchen. Mr. Sparda was making omelets with leftover turkey it seemed. The elder man looked to us smiled, back to the omelet, then back to me. He eyed the clothing a moment and cleared his throat. "Ah… good morning you two. Those clothes… they look nice on you Layla." He smiled lightly before going back to the cooking. "Ahh… I hope you don't mind." I said shyly running my hand though my hair which surprisingly didn't look bad this morning. "Oh I don't mind. I was… going to throw them away eventually…" He said rather sadly it sounded and plated the omelets for us. "Breakfast is served." He said with a smile now. We walked to the table sitting down and beginning to eat.
Dante walked in not long after and sat next to me rubbing his head. Mr. Sparda cleared his throat before speaking. "Ahh… last night. Where were you parked that made you run into that gang?" He asked, setting a plate down in front of Dante and sitting at the table as well with a plate of his own. "Towards downtown where the big movie theater is. We parked in a free lot so we had to walk about twenty minutes to get to the theater." Dante said, taking a bite of food. Mr. Sparda looked to Vergil quirking a brow. "Did you kill any of them?" I choked hearing him ask that and reached for my glass of juice Vergil had gotten for me. "Sorry about the question Layla. With you being an Angel something like that would make you a little nervous. It's just in a Demon's nature to kill whomever goes after our… significant others." He said explaining his reasoning's. I knew he wanted to say mate, but that would also make me feel weird seeing as how we haven't had sex yet. I nodded my head slowly and took another bite of the breakfast in front of me. Vergil grabbed my leg gently under the table and spoke up. "No, I didn't have the chance to… I had some kind of energy spike which threw a majority of the gang away from us, sending them running and then I began beating the leader to a pulp. I didn't get to finish because Dante told me that Layla was passed out with a black eye. Instead I ran over to check on her and he got away." Vergil explained squeezing my leg again.
Reaching down I grabbed his hand and leaned back because I finished up my omelet. "Next time I see him, he won't be so lucky." I gasped lightly hearing Vergil and shaking my head. "Y-you can't." I said slightly worried. Sparda just chuckled lightly shaking his head. "Layla, Demons are much different than Angels. All Supernaturals do not abide by same laws. Demons have their own separate laws just like Angels, Vampires, and every other species. Now it's different when a Demon kills a different species, there are other laws that come into effect, but Demon killing Demon, there are few laws against it. Demons are very possessive creatures and when their mate is in danger they react to instinct." I frowned slightly, nodding my head. I mean I understood that we all have different laws and I guess just how we grow up and who we grow up with determines how we act. Vergil leaned over kissing my head and smiling lightly. "Don't worry… that's if I ever see them again." He said, kissing my neck gently making me push him away. It was so embarrassing that he would do that in front of his family.
Our little breakfast went on without any further discussion about the incident ended. Mostly that was discussed was the fact of my mother ripping Vergil a new one. Both Dante and Sparda teased him about it and it even went down to Sparda saying he would give my mom a call if that was needed. Of course it wouldn't be necessary because I would handle her… Vergil seemed unconvinced. After breakfast I took it upon myself to clean up for them with all of them protesting. It was kind of nice having them want to make me comfortable. Of course I was a guest, but these men protested so ferociously on me helping that all I could do was sit and watch as they cleaned up. Sparda was a very attractive man I could not argue with that. I sort of couldn't wait to see what Vergil and Dante would look like at that age. Vergil walked over to me, eyeing me suspiciously. He leaned down in my line of view making me jump. Glaring at me he placed his hands on the table and quirked a brow. "What were you looking at?" He asked, glaring at me some more. I could only giggle and grab his chin gently. "Just admiring your dad. You are going to look fucking gorgeous forever." I said with a laugh as he rolled his eyes. "Well it's nice to know you are checking out my father…" I could only laugh again and pressed my lips to his gently. He smiled lightly and pulled up. "Well let's get you home babe… I might as well tell your mom what happened." He said with his brows knit together making me laugh once again.
I stood up, making my way upstairs to get my bag from his room. I didn't want to go home just yet, but I knew Vergil needed some rest because he had practice tomorrow and I wanted to spend a few more hours with my brother before he and Ramses left. They weren't much of shoppers… well they were, but they did just about everything online and that big day was Monday instead of today which was Black Friday. There was no way in hell any of us were going to leave for shopping anyways… I made my way down the stairs to see Vergil leaning against the door in a coat. He grabbed my coat and held it open for me to slip into which I was happy about. It brought a blush to my face even. I caught him smirking at me as he tilted my chin up to him. "Oh… if only you didn't fall asleep on my last night. I would have had so much fun with you." He said pressing his lips to mine. I pulled away after a while my face as red as it could be. "W-well I don't understand why? I look horrible right now with this black eye. I don't know how you can even kiss me." He frowned at me grabbing my chin gently. "Layla… Just because you have this blemish doesn't take anything away from your beauty. I think the black eye is quite sexy really. It shows me that you are strong and you can handle it because I know a few that would be whining about that all the time, but you don't even talk about it. I know it's hurting you, but you are being strong. I like that. So just because you have this does not mean I am not attracted to you." He chuckled pressing his lips to mine once again. I could only smile as I wrapped my arms around his neck, feeling him lift me off the floor momentarily, before setting me back down and opening the door. "Now let's get you home."
…
We were already at my house waiting at the front door. Every time I try to reach for the door knob Vergil pulls my hand away or growls when I get too close. I can only roll my eyes at him. After he took a few more breaths it seemed, he finally allowed me to unlock the door and open it, walking inside. Vergil stayed unnecessarily close to me as I looked inside. I heard voices from the kitchen and started walking towards them. "Hello! People in the kitchen?" I shouted hearing a few hellos and yes's. Just as I was about to turn the corner Vergil grabbed me again and quirked a brow. I giggled, wrapping my arms around his neck, kissing him gently. "Don't worry babe… I'll protect you from them if they try to blame everything on you." I said, kissing him once again. He smiled reluctantly as I grabbed his hand and walked into the kitchen.
After a couple hello's, gasps were heard. I frowned instantly seeing my mom, Meg, Stacy who was another friend of theirs, and my brothers all with shocked faces. Bakari rushed over quickly grabbing my face and making me look up at him. "What happened to you sissy?" He asked, looking from Vergil and me. "Last night we got in a bit of a scuffle…" I said pulling my face from him. He turned his attention to Vergil and glared. "A scuffle huh? This is more than that, why did-" I had to cut him off before he accused anyone… "Bakari! It wasn't with him! We went to a movie last night and as we were making our way back to the car-" I wanted to faint hearing my mother. She was already up in front of Vergil who was obviously nervous. "What did you do to my daughter?! How dare you show your face in my house? How could you do this to a poor girl?" Vergil tried many times to speak, but was being backed into a corner with my mom pushing her finger at him. I started pulling her away telling her to stop, but she kept ignoring me. I could only let out an aggravated sigh as I stepped between her and Vergil, keeping myself close against Vergil. "Ma'am." Vergil spoke loudly, standing up straighter. "I would like to inform you on how this happened. Last night my brother, Layla and I went out to a movie and upon walking back to the car a group of thugs prevented us from getting to the car and wanted Layla. My brother and I fought them off even though we were outnumbered. I couldn't prevent her from getting the black eye obviously, but I did prevent her from getting raped. I did not do this to her. I would never hurt Layla like that." He stated, making me smile as I looked up to him. "It's true mom… He didn't do this to me some thug did last night who was trying to get me to stop struggling. Vergil was only helping me."
My mother let out a long sigh looking up at him and then to me. She stood up straight and looked directly to Vergil. "Sorry for jumping to conclusions Vergil. All I heard was that you two were involved in a scuffle and I thought the worst. I apologize." Vergil's mouth fell open slightly as he nodded his head. "It's alright ma'am." He said smiling to her ever so slightly. My mom looked to me and touched my face gently frowning at the black eye. "Does it hurt baby? Do you need an ice pack and some medicine?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest. I nodded my head as she turned around and made her way back to the kitchen. My brother and Ramses stood at the doorway smiling lightly. Bakari made his way over to Vergil clapping him on the shoulder. "Thank you for watching after her. You're a good guy and sorry I was going to do the same thing and accuse you as well." Vergil nodded his head lightly and looked down at me. I smiled at him and wrapped my arms around him, pushing Bakari's hand off of him. "Quit touching him Bakari. I know he's good looking, but he's mine." I giggled, pressing my head into Vergil's chest. Bakari rolled his eyes and turned back to Ramses walking into the kitchen. I looked back up at Vergil, smiling at him. "Thank you for the nice time. Besides me getting punched and falling asleep on you." He smiled and let out a quiet laugh. "Don't worry about it babe. We'll have many more nights together, which I hope you won't be falling asleep on." He purred lightly, kissing me one more time. "I should go… and thank you for protecting me from your mom there. I thought she was going to rip my balls off and gouge my eyes out." I laughed, leading him to the door, knowing that is where he was going next. "Any time. I'll see you Monday at school. Love you Verge." I said, pulling him down to me once again. "Love to too Layla." He growled playfully before walking out of the house leaving me alone with my over protective family.
