Gabriel: Right first off the disclaimer. LDN is making no profit off this fic. Dante and Trish belong to Capcom. My gorgeous self, Gabriel, and Flame belong to LDN. Solely her folks!! ^_^
Gabriel: Hey everyone, guess who's here? *laughs* Me, sillies. I will be the master of ceremony for this chapter. LDN, well she wanted to put this story on hold, she said something about 'lack of interest'. So I pleaded with her, begged her, to let me put up another chapter. *pouts* She is so stubborn, but I love her regardless. After all she did create me and I wouldn't be around if it wasn't for her. So anyway, it took a lot of work to persuade her to let me put up this chapter. So please enjoy it and review it. *puppy dog eyes* Pretty please! Oh I also get to do the review comments! SO COOL!!! ^_^
Gabriel's review comments:
Athar-Luna: Firstly, thank you for the croissant! It was so warm and buttery, just the way I like it. ^_^ *laughs* You know LDN loves to tease you about her stories, her and her evil cliffhangers. Yup, it's so cool that I'm finally back. Well LDN talked to you about me all the time, through the whole year, but I'm still glad to know you missed me. ^_^ You know secrets about me too, and you must keep it quiet or I'll have to kill ya! ^_~ Yeah, I like my healing power, means I'll never get sick! Yay!!!
Bachus: Hey Bachus, I'm glad to meet you. LDN isn't here but she said its fine that you took over for M.M. Let M.M. know that LDN will e-mail as soon as she can. ^_^ Yeah, damn ff.net went bonkers on the link to this fic and LDN had to e-mail the administrators of the site. It was fixed right after that, which was so cool. I think it was the fact that I was threatening it with my guns though. Heh! ^_^
Kikoken: *blushes* Oh Kikoken, you spoil me so. I'm glad to hear you think I'm cool. ^_^ I would like to meet Darion too. LDN has considered your offer and she would love to work with you, but how will we do it? How will 2 sons of Dante meet in a fic? If you have any ideas e-mail LDN, she would love to hear from you. The only thing is the joint fic would have to wait until this one is over, cause of stuff…yeah stuff. I can't really say what it is, because LDN will be pissed at me.
Charlie: Glad to see you're still reading Charlie. Well in my defense I didn't walk out on my dad cause I collapsed at the door. *sweat drops* I bet I looked weak! *frowns* Well this story is moving along I guess. Keep on reading. ^_^
Poisonous Flower- Look who's here. Late very late, but finally she has appeared. ^_~ LDN is glad to hear you like her action scenes cause between you and me, she was basically ripping her hair out on how to write them. LOL!!! *blushes* I'm glad to hear you're glad I'm back. Having a super healing power sure has its perks, watch. *cuts his hand with a knife and puts his hand up. White light envelops him and the cut heals in seconds* See how cool was that? ^_^
Gabriel: Wow that's it! I only get to do this for 5 reviews! That's so sad. *frowns* I wanted to do more; this things are so much fun!! Aw maybe next time if there is a next time that is. Ok so the long chapter is next, please if you are reading, review. Show LDN some love! ^_^
Chapter 6- The Beginning: Back to Devil Never Cry
Gabriel stirred slightly, causing his eyes to slowly flutter open. He felt so warm and so comfortable. He turned his head to see a pair of blue eyes looking warmly back at him.
"Hey sleepy head." She greeted him affectingly.
"Where am I?" He asked her, his voice sounded heavy with sleep.
"Back at Devil Never Cry." She told him. "You're home."
He cleared his throat. "How did I get here, Trish?" He asked her, still a little dazed. He slowly sat up in bed.
"Your dad brought you. He's downstairs with Flame." She told him. She ruffled his hair affectingly.
"Hey, not the hair." He mumbled.
"It's great to see you Gabe." She said with a smile.
He smiled at the nickname she had given him. She was the only one allowed to call him that. "You too Tri." He replied with his own nickname for her.
"You've been greatly missed." She told him sincerely. "Where have you been?"
"I've missed you too." He told her. "I've been around." He answered vaguely.
"Yeah, I bet you've been around. I heard a couple of stories about a certain, handsome hunter. Off killing demons, devils and saving pretty girls." She said teasingly.
A few chuckles escaped his lips. "I hope I didn't take too much business away from you and Dad." He told her.
"No, Dante and I have had missions. Nothing to big though." She told him. "Yet your dear father went out every night looking for you." She told him looking into his blue eyes. "He was really worried about you."
"Hmm," Gabriel said absently looking around his room. "Room looks different." He said observantly.
"Yeah, it's called clean." Trish told him. "Apparently a word you and your father have never heard of." She added teasingly.
"Still cleaning when you're bored, huh?" He asked her.
"Yeah, someone has to do it, unless we want to be over run with dust bunnies." She told him jokingly. She turned her head to the night stand and noticed the black holster with the twin silver guns. "Ah, I see you have your new guns."
Gabriel turned to look at them. "Yeah, I went to my parents' house and they gave me the package they were in."
"Do you like them?" She asked him.
"Yeah, I do. They're very cool looking." He told her.
"I picked them out." Trish told him proudly.
"Really?" Dante said from behind them causing them to turn their attention to him. He stood just inside the room by the door.
"Well it was your idea, but I picked them out." Trish reminded him, as Dante walked toward the bed.
"So what happened back there?" Dante asked Gabriel in a firm tone.
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?" Gabriel told him innocently, a silly grin of his face. A few giggles escaped from Trish's lips and she quickly stifled them.
Dante gave him a very stern look. "No, I wouldn't." He said firmly.
"The pain started a few months ago and its getting worse." Gabriel confessed. "I have no idea why though."
"Are you telling me the truth?" Dante asked him suspiciously.
"That's the truth." Gabriel said raising his hands in a yielding manner, hoping that would put an end to the subject.
"In that case I want you to stay here and not help me with this mission. Trish you stay here too." Dante told them firmly.
These words immediately brought on an array of protests.
"What? Why?" Trish demanded. "I want to help too!"
"I'm not a kid anymore! You can't tell me what to do!" Gabriel complained.
Dante rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Fine!" Dante said tersely. He turned on his heels and stormed out of the room, but before he left, his parting words floating toward them. "Do whatever the hell you want."
Trish and Gabriel just looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. A few minutes later they heard a door slam loudly from downstairs.
"Well, I'm guessing Dante's mad." She told him.
"You think?" Gabriel raised an inquiring eyebrow at her.
Trish rose from the bed. "Get some rest." She advised him, ruffling his hair again.
"Hey!" He complained, pulling his head away from her intruding hand. "Don't mess up my gorgeous locks. The ladies love um!"
Trish rolled her eyes. She grabbed a pillow and heaved it at him. It hit him on the top of his head. "Oh you Spardas and your hair." With those teasing parting words she walked out of his room.
As Trish closed Gabriel's bedroom door she saw Flame coming up the stairs toward her. "Where's Dante?" Trish asked her.
"After he came back downstairs from visiting Gabriel, I asked him where he was going and he simply said 'out'." Flame told her.
"Yeah, judging by the slam of the door I'd say he's pissed. They both have very short tempers." Trish said pointing a finger at Gabriel's closed door.
"Is he awake?" Flame asked. "I would like to see him."
"Yeah, he's still awake." Trish said moving away from the door. "Go ahead and see him." She walked past her as Flame knocked on the door.
"Come in." Gabriel's voice sounded muffled through the closed door.
She pushed the door open and stepped inside. "Hey." She greeted him closing the door behind her.
"Hey Flame." Gabriel replied. "What's up?"
"I thought you might be thirsty." She said raising a water filled glass as she walked toward him.
"Actually, yeah I am." He told her. He reached out and took the glass from her hand. He proceeded to drink the water down as Flame sat down by his bedside. When he finished off the water he set the glass down on the night stand. "Thanks for that. My mouth felt so dry all of a sudden."
"No problem." She told him with a smile. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine." He told her.
"What happened back there? I hope it wasn't because I shot you."
"Nah, this has happened before, just not to the point of passing out though." He told her. "Did my dad leave?"
"Yeah, he was pretty pissed after he came down from seeing you." She told him. "What happened up here?"
"Not much, just that he's treating me like a baby again." Gabriel told her. "Gee, you die once and they go all psycho protective on you." He said in mocking annoyance.
"What? You died?" She replied astonished.
"Yeah, it's a long story." He told her. He shook his head dismissively. "One that I don't want to go into."
"It's fine." She replied. "But how exactly are you alive?"
"Well," He said smiling slyly. He said a few words that were distorted by the loud yawn that came mingled with his words. "Wow, all of a sudden I feel so tired." He told her and after the yawn he lowered himself back down onto the bed. In the span of about thirty seconds his eyes were closed and he was deep in sleep.
Flame rose from the bed and a sinister smile appeared on her lips. She looked at Gabriel's sleeping face and her smile widened. "Out like a light." She said out loud to no one. She leaned forward placing her face inches from his. "You are so beautiful." She told his sleeping figure, moving a strand of his hair away from his face. She leaned in closer, and pressed her lips softly onto his. The sound of the door opening and hitting against the wall behind her caused her to move her lips away from his.
"What the hell are you doing?" Trish's angered voice demanded.
Flame turned to face Trish. Her eyes were glowing red and the sinister smile was still plastered on her lips.
"Who the hell are you?" Trish demanded getting into a defensive stance. "Get the hell away from him!"
Flame flourished her hand and as if an invisible hand had grabbed Trish she was flung roughly against the wall. When Flame spoke her voice didn't sound like her own, there was a male voice overlapping with hers. "Ah, the beautiful Trish." Flame said smiling. "I didn't want to meet you like this, but eh well, there was no other choice."
"Who are you?" Trish demanded trying to move away from the wall, but she seemed to be frozen in place.
"That is not important right now." Flame's overlapping voice replied. "I don't doubt we will soon meet in person." Flame turned away from Trish and went back to Gabriel's bedside. She bent over and picked up Gabriel's sleeping body, leaning him upright against her.
"Leave him alone!" Trish yelled, vainly trying to break away from the wall.
Flame smirked as she supported Gabriel's weight against her. "There is nothing you can do to stop me!"
Trish pulled away from the wall again and this time she was successful in breaking away.
"Impossible!" Flame's overlapping voice yelled enraged.
Meanwhile Trish came rushing toward them or at least she tried too. She had barely taken a step toward them when Flame raised her hand again and a giant surge of flames came rushing toward her. Trish barely back flipped out of the way of the flames, but on her way down she hit her head on the wall in the hall, knocking herself out.
Flame smiled approvingly and with Gabriel still against her, she busted open a window and jumped out into the night.
