[A/N] Me: T_T I re-wrote this chapter twice and just when I got it perfect, I forgot to save!
Dante: Oh you poor thing. *note the sarcasm*
Me: *sniffle* Asile3762 He's probably off aggravating Lady or fighting with his shadow or something. ^_^ ShatterTheHeavens Yep, Vergil is warm and fuzzy-
Vergil: *glare*
Me: *cough* Moving on. AvatarofBahamut Yep I seem to be known for my lazy attitude toward spell check. Thanks, and I'm happy to know you like it! ^_^ SamCroft2010 I keep trying to tell him this but he insists that Vergil is trying to outshine him in his own fanfic. 88dragon06 Vergil always acts like a jerk to people he cares about, take Dante for example. He might have seriously been able to kill him a few times, but he didn't. Him impaling Dante with his own sword is just another way to express his brotherly love. XP Ivory Tears, You too? I love Res 5 (and pretty much all the other Res games) I'm thinking of making a fanfic with Leon. Anyway, Vergil is acting warmer toward Kirie and I think it's cute; thanks for the review!
I love getting reviews from you guys, it's awesome! And now for a long overdue chapter
Chapter 27: My Shadow
You screamed and fell backwards through the mirror and onto the cold stone floor. You weren't sure if the fact that you didn't see the demon in the mirror was a good thing or not. Deciding not to take any chances, as you were nearly sliced in half, you scramble to your feet and backed away from the mirror. You grabbed the silver orb off of the table and immediately regretted doing so. Six demons suddenly spawned and started walking towards you.
You took a few steps back and held up your hand expecting one of your powers to randomly kick in and save your butt; but nothing happened.
'So much for having complete control over them.' You thought sarcastically.
You quickly spun around and ran to the door that would undoubtedly lead you to a very impatient and annoyed Vergil who would end up saving you for the fifth time. The hallway didn't lead you to Vergil; it wasn't even the same hallway! This was much longer and only had a single door at the far end.
'What did I get myself into now?'
Not wasting anytime, you made a brake for the door and the demons dashed after you. The room seemed to be slowly spinning and your head throbbed faintly from blood loss.
The demons were only a few feet behind you and even at your full speed they were catching up. You stumbled and almost fell a few times but was able to keep you balance.
'Come on…almost…there.' Your breath came out in shallow gasps as you sprinted to the door.
You glanced over your shoulder and one of the blades of the demons' scythe barely missed your face. You forced yourself to speed up just a little more. Finally, you made it to the door and opened it just wide enough for you to fit through before slamming it shut behind you.
Banging, scraps, and frustrated growls were heard on the other side of the door and you thanked God the door was strong enough to withstand the demons' attacks. You doubled over leaning against the wall for support as you tried to calm down and catch your breath.
"It's you!"
You turned hesitantly hoping you didn't just lock yourself in a room with someone or something that also wanted to rip you to shreds. To your relief, Lady was the only person in the room. She had been sitting down but rose to her feet as soon as you rushed through the door.
"Hey…Lady." You said calling her by the name Dante had given her.
She had a brief look of surprise when you called her that but it was gone in seconds.
Your legs felt like jelly and you slid down the wall. Your adrenaline rush and near decapitation had blocked out most of the pain in your shoulder until now. It felt like it was on fire. Thankfully, the bleeding had slowed considerably.
Lady looked at your shoulder, a small amount of concern in her eyes. "Looks like you've lost a lot of blood."
"I've definitely been better." You replied with a small smirk. "Did you come here through the mirror to?"
"Mirror?"
"Yeah, the mirror, er- portal…Never mind." You sighed. "I don't suppose you've seen Dante or Vergil around have you?"
"I haven't seen Vergil…but Dante just left."
At this you perked up slightly. "Really? Where did he go, I need to get to him."
You managed to pull yourself to your feet with some effort. Your legs felt ridiculously heavy.
"You're really going to go after him in your condition? You look like you'll pass out at any second." Lady pointed out. "I know I should mind my own business, but if you are human, loosing that much blood is fatal."
You thought over her words. She was absolutely right, but you weren't the average person now were you? You'd survived being slammed into a wall by Rudra, running down a forty story building and jumping onto a leviathan, thrown across the room from on top of a demonic horse drawn carriage, getting hit with spinning pillars launched by Beowulf, and falling God knows how far into a hole with Vergil; you could take this right?
…Right?
"I…have to go. It's my job to help him make sure Arkam doesn't open the door to Hell, besides I need to keep an eye on him too." You gave a small smile at the last part.
"Even if he is trying to stop my father, he's still a demon. Is he really special enough for you to die for?"
You debated whether or not to bring up the fact that you had already died for him with no regrets about the decision; no matter how awkward having part of your soul trapped in a demonic portal made your life.
"Dante may not always act like it, but he has the best intentions, which is much more than you can say for any other demon. Besides, he means a lot to me, and I would do anything to help him." You replied walking pass her and to the door on the other end of the room. "By the way…I wouldn't go through that other door if I were you."
The door you had come through was now silent, but you had no doubt the demons were still on the other side waiting for you to come back out.
Your vision had a slight haze and you felt exhausted; luckily no more demons were jumping out and trying to take your head off. You had no clue where you were going and was about to backtrack when you heard Dante talking to someone in the distance. You turned the corner and opened a brown door.
You had to wait for your eyes to adjust to the dimmer light.
"Kirie?"
You stepped into the room and the door closed behind you. Your eyes finished adjusting and you saw…two Dantes?
'Woah, that blood loss really is getting to me.'
"Um…this may sound a little weird but why are there two of you?" You asked. You weren't sure which one had said your name and thanks to your double vision you couldn't even tell which one was real.
The Dante to your right ran to you at top speed and the one on the left did the same.
The one on the left drew his sword and swung at you, while the one to your right barely had time to block the attack and push you behind him.
"What the hell?"
[A/N] WE INTERRUPT THIS STORY TO BRING YOU THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
Vergil: I would like to let everyone know that I will not hesitate to decapitate people for calling me warm, fuzzy, and caring. *blushes* It disturbs both my manliness and my overall personality!
Me: Aww, Vergil you know no one would ever question your adorable harsh manliness.
Dante: I would!
Vergil: Quiet you! *impales Dante* Now I demand that you all review!
