Heres the next chapter, enjoy

Vergil glared over his shoulder at the two women before turning and striding towards them. Lady didn't know how to react as the man walked at them. Her hand trembled on the rocket launcher in her hand, debating if she should take a shot or not. It only felt like a second but Vergil was already in front of her and without a word, he stepped past her, standing over Dante. Vergil looked down on his brother for what seemed like an eternity. Lady and Trish both watched silent, curious and anxious at what he was going to do.

"Get up." He finally said, making Lady flinch. "Get up, Dante. You can do better than that." Without warning, Vergil flipped Dante over and grabbed Rebellion from his back. Before either of them could stop him, Vergil drove the blade down through Dante's back.

Lady was the first to react, grabbing Vergil's collar and pulling him inches from her face. "What the hell is wrong with you?" She yelled. "Why the hell did you do that?"

Vergil didn't respond. He didn't even so much as show a hint of concern or remorse. "Foolish girl." He said calmly. Lady was about to knock his teeth in when. . .

"You're an ass." A gruff voice came. Lady stared at Vergil, but his lips hadn't moved. She let go of his collar and looked down at Dante. The red coat shift as Dante turned himself over, his blue eyes looking up at them. "That's twice you stabbed me with my own sword. Wanna go for the trifecta?"

Lady looked from Dante to Vergil with complete confusion but also relief. She stepped in front of Dante and looked at him. The cut on his chest was still there, but his heart was beating again and the other injuries had mostly healed, except for the sword sticking out of his chest. "Dante are you okay?" she asked.

He gave a quick smile, but winced a little. "Never better." He looked down at the blade protruding from his chest. "Except I feel a draft, anybody else?" With a chuckle he pushed rebellion out of his chest and let it bounce on the ground behind him.

"Where is Mundus?" Vergil asked without looking at Dante.

He sighed before responding. "Dead."

Vergil twitched slightly at the word. "You killed him?"

"Would you believe me if I said yes?"

"No"

"Didn't think so. This runt Azkal swooped in after I had him beat and killed him, took all his power too."

"Azkal? That basturd! I knew I should have shot him." Lady cursed.

"So that's the one who's been cackling all this time." He said looking up. "Where is Sparda?"

"He took it after he . . . tripped me." Dante tried to save the situation with another smile. Vergil nodded and started walking away. "Where the hell are you going?" Dante asked.

"To clean up your mess." Vergil stopped for a second glaring at Dante over his shoulder. "Why don't you sit there like a good boy. I'll be back to kill you later."

Vergil turned to leave then, but Trish spoke up. "Vergil, wait."

"Silence!" he snapped, making all of them step back. "I came to confirm what I already knew. You are not my mother, you are a devil. In memory of my mother I saved you once, but if I meet you again, I will kill you." Without another sound, Vergil vanished in a blur.

"Well, I guess I better go." Dante said, patting off his pant legs and grabbing his sword.

"Are you insane?" lady asked jumping in his way. "It's a miracle you're alive. You need to rest and recover."

Dante placed a hand on her head. "Can't do that. I've got a mess to clean up. Now what kind of responsible adult would I be if I didn't take care of that. I need to set a good example for the kids." Dante only got two steps past her before lady grabbed his shoulder and turned him around.

"That doesn't matter Dante! You nearly died! I-I don't want you too." She snapped, but her voice cracked, her eyes starting to water again. "You can't worry us like that again."

Dante didn't even look at Lady at first. He only stared at the ground. But he looked up meeting her eyes with strong determination in his own. "I have to do this lady. This is my mess, my fault. My whole life I've been cleaning up after my dad, all the loose ends he left, and the problems he left unsolved. I don't want that. I will solve this. I made this, I lost Sparda to that monster, and I let him kill Mundus. I have to kill him, I have to fix this." Dante brought a hand up and brushed the side of her face. "Please do me this much. Wait for me at the shop." His eyes were drawn to the blood on her back. "Blood doesn't suit you."

"Dante, I know how you feel, it's the same as with my father but . . ." whatever she was going to say was cut off as Dante kissed her. Lady froze, unable to do anything than return the kiss. It seemed too soft for someone as strong as Dante.

He pulled away after a few seconds and smiled. "Trust me."

Lady hesitated but gave him a comforting smile before giving a quick peck on the cheek. "Sure."

Dante stepped away and over to Trish. "You ok?"

"Fine." She said waving a hand. "It's a scratch." There was a long silence for a moment. "Do what you have to do Dante. We'll always be behind you." Trish raised her head and gave him a warming smile.

"Thanks Trish. I'll see you at the shop." With that, Dante turned and started walking away. He was nearly into the buildings when Lady called to him. He turned around in time to take a bullet to the forehead that knocked him on the ground.

"That's to remind you to come back." She said holstering her pistol.

Dante lay on the ground staring at the sky. "God, I'm more scared of the women in my life than the demons."

Okay confession time, I messed up in the last chapter. I forgot I split the last chapter in half , so now I ask, if you don't get why Dante is still alive review and ill explain., or just review anyway.
