------------------A/N - When I sit on my foot for too long, it goes numb.
This and other thoughts brought to you by- insomnia and A.D.D.
I promise I'll go back and fix this, I write everything at 4 am, and then wonder what the hell I was thinking later.
(P.S. I still do not own "Devil May Cry" "Bloodrayne" or any of their characters. Meh.)
(P.P.S. - Haha, yeah, I made Lucia his mother. Why? Because the whole Trish reincarnated mother thing creeped me out. )

He barely made out a human shaped bullet, hitting him feet first. He, she, or it was moving so fast that Aries couldn't focus. Whatever it was, it was twisting in the air, a living projectile.
"Fuck!" Aries spat out, thankful he had remained upright. Upon seeing it land, he stopped reaching for his handguns. He'd seen this thing twice before, and the outcome never left him covered in glory. It was fast enough to avoid individual bullets. Landing in a flash of black leather and light hair, it pushed off from the ground quickly enough to only see a blur. Drawing his sword he waited for the next impact. Once while swinging widely he had managed to cut it. Words couldn't describe how happy he was to see that it bled.
Holding the sword at an angle, Aries felt a rush of wind telling him it had circled to his back. Not that knowing that could protect him. A sharp, fiery pain told him he'd been stabbed in the shoulder. Not too deep, but enough to be annoying.
In a fury of circles and jumps it managed to stab him once more, and give him a nasty gash on the cheek. At that point, Aries was tired of playing games.
His eyes grew hazy with an purple-red glow. The devil trigger was just that, a trigger. Aries was pissed off enough to be close to changing, but just as the fight may have evened out, his opponent seemed to back off. It suddenly jumped into a corner obscured by shadow and clung to the ceiling.
"Scared?" Aries mocked, the red halo was just beginning to envelope his body.
He was a little taken aback when he heard it laugh. The laugh was condescending, and most defiantly female. Suddenly a small blast through his chest rocked him backwards. It was a small gun, and at this point, anything that wasn't killing him was just making him stronger.
"Of you ? Tell me another one."
She came at Aries in another cannon roll, but as his devil powers took over he was able to jump to the side. She skidded, a mass of blonde hair, some white and a black skirt was all he could make out. However this time he had his sword in the right place, and swung it down over her neck in the middle of her skid. The girl didn't have time to avoid the sword, but she did catch it before cut her head off. Splitting open her hand, she screamed. Before Aries could even process the pleasure of finally causing her some pain, the girl shot up like a viper, striking his sword arm. She bit him? Who the fuck bites.... uh, oh, vampires? Aries only caught the blurry image of an emerald green eye. Her hand which was still split open tightened and flung Aries' sword to the other side of the arena. Swearing quite understandably, Aries grabbed a handful of her hair and tossed the girl like a rag doll into the wall.
Jumping to recollect the sword Aries put his back to the wall and held his hurt arm to his chest. But as he stood ready for another round, he realized as quickly as the fight had started, it was over. The girl was gone, with no explanation, and no resolution.
---The Next Day ----
"So you lost the $50,000 Dicon demons."
Aries sighed. "Yeah."
"Dicon, possibly one of the slowest creatures ever, you lost. You, an accomplished devil hunter, couldn't bring me more than two. The two that found you, if I'm hearing you correctly."
He didn't say anything, just bided his time by getting increasingly annoyed.
"And then you get your ass kicked. By a girl. A girl that apparently has done it twice before, and has cost us three very lucrative contracts now."
The lecture was being given by Owen, Aries long time friend. Sitting behind the desk at "Devil Never Cry" and giving the more than half demon, 6'4", 19 year old Aries this lecture, you'd think he was more than human. You'd be wrong though. Owen was only a little over 5'5", with soft, wavy brown hair, endearing glasses, and very much human. He might have whimpered when he heard mice, and he constantly had horrible head colds, but he was wonderful at keeping books.
"Maybe he likes her......" Came a wispy voice from the back.
"Shut up May." Aries growled. May was Owen's younger cousin. (While Aries and Owen were 19, May was 17.) She giggled and ran to the back of the wooden building. Her highlighted brown hair flowing her in waves behind her. In the beginning, after their family had been slaughtered by demons, Aries let his friend stay on and help the business. Lucia had worked tirelessly to keep "Devil Never Cry" open after his father had all but vanished eight years ago. After Aries took over, it became a split operation. May took care of the weapons and cataloging, Owen did booking and accounting, and that earned them their keep. Which of course left Aries to.... kill stuff.
Mays' sing-song voice rang out from the back. "Aries is in looooove! Aries is in loooooooove!"
Usually he would have shrugged it off, but something about that girl made May's chanting turn his stomach. It wasn't even that he still hadn't clearly seen her face, or that she beat him up several times. Something he couldn't quite put his finger on.
"Are you even listening?" Owen demanded.
"Ummmmm... honestly? No."
Owen sighed and rubbed his temples. "I can't believe you man. It was a freaking vampire. Since when are vampires trouble for anyone besides lonely defenseless people on streetcorners?"
Aries got up, obviously done with the lecture. "If it was a vampire, why was it out after sunrise?"
That did shut Owen up. Not about the money they had lost, but about the girl. Which was just as well, because Aries wanted to forget the entire incident.
