My eleventh chapter. It's a good thing that I was able to post chapters nine and ten, otherwise you wouldn't be able to read this one. Hm…the school year is winding down. I know I'm excited, I'm soooo ready to get out of high school. I'll be a senior next year! He he, sempai! Yeah, '06 son! Hehe, sorry. But yeah, summer is something to look forward to. And writing this story eases my somewhat ache for summer…'cause right now, I really don't feel like doing any work for any of my classes…so when I got my mid-quarter back, I thought: 'Whose mid-quarter is this? It ain't mine, I'm not failing any classes!' Lol! Yeah, I was proud of myself, 'cause I'm actually doing something right to make good grades. And if I keep it up, my grades will be even higher, because at the end of the quarter, some low test grades are dropped. –Wink- Yeah, I did pretty good on my weekly too…hm…well, it sure feels like I haven't been doing any work, that's for sure. That's good, as long as I don't feel it, but I'm still doing it, I'm cool with it. But yeah, enough chatter about school! I hate school! >.


Disclaimer: You know…I wonder who thought up Devil May Cry 3. Because it wasn't me (for the last one hundred and millionth time…), so Capcom, I'm filing a restraining order…you really need to stop following me everywhere that I go, this is getting ridiculous. Geez, what did I ever do to receive this type of treatment! –Sniffle- I deserve better. I mean, I know copyrights are serious, but good grief, why would I want to steal ownership over a video game? You know what, I'm going to make up my own video game, we'll see how Capcom likes that! Oh, you're laughing? You think I can't do just as good as them? Well I'll show you too! . Well…not really…I don't have enough time to try to think up a video game. Oh well…damn…stop laughing Capcom!


Lady ended up in a dark alley. It was night time. She ran out of the alley and went to a payphone.

"Damn!" she said, "I need some change!"

She rested her head against the phone, sighing. She heard a noise from inside of the phone and raised a brow. She slid her finger into the returned change slot and pulled out a quarter.

"Huh?" she asked.

She picked up the phone and popped the quarter in as she listened to the dial tone. She dialed a number. The phone rang at least five times before she hung up.

'Great.' She thought, 'He's not there.'

She went back to her apartment and got her weapons. She made sure her guns were loaded, clicking the clips in place. Then she grabbed some extra clips and left.

She arrived at an old and abandoned building. A building that was familiar to her…because it was the very building that her enemy was supposed to be…but apparently wasn't. She knocked on the door of Devil Never Cry. No answer. She kicked down the door, since it was locked. It was very dark inside. She made her way up the stairs and into the office. She turned on a light and saw a briefcase on Dante's desk.

'If only I knew where you were you little bastard…' she thought.

She saw a file right next to the briefcase. She opened it and saw a map. It had the address of a house on it.

'This is a map of a house?' she thought, 'If that's the case, that's where Dante must be…because he was assigned there…it only makes sense.'

She turned off the light and ran out of the building. She heard a familiar noise—the noise of a thousand wings and a thousand feet on the ground. She turned and looked down the street and there was the same demon army she and Christian had seen in the canyon.

"Shit!" she said, "They were after me!"

She began to run, but there were demons coming on either side of her. She smiled, stroking her grenade launcher. She loaded it and began to fire away. She saw a clear path to run and she ran. Demons tried to slow her down, but she stabbed or slashed at them with the blade on her grenade launcher.

'No way in hell I can fight this whole army…I might as well keep running…' she thought.

She saw a woman getting in a car. She ran up to the car.

"Move the hell over!" she said.

"What?" the woman asked fearfully.

Lady glared. She grabbed the woman's face and made her look ahead.

"Do you see all those fuckers?" she asked.

The woman was too shaken with fear to answer.

"Good, I'm glad that you do, because all they want to do is kill me. I need to get away, and I need this car—is that understood?" Lady said.

The lady nodded.

"Very good, we're making progress. Now move the hell over, and I'm going to drive. Afterwards, you drive the hell away as fast as you can, and don't look back." Lady said.

The lady handed her the keys with a shaky hand. Lady grabbed them and turned on the engine. Then she stepped on the gas and drove away.

Lady had driven in total silence. When she got to her appointed destination, she quickly got out of the car.

"Thanks." Lady said, "Now you can have your car back."

The lady just nodded and slid into the driver's seat. Then she sped away.

Lady ran up to the house, but vines covered the door. She kicked down the door.

"Dante!" she yelled, "Dante!" She ran through the house, her heart racing so fast she thought it would burst and she would die instantly.

She saw a trail of demon blood in the hall. It led to the kitchen. She ran to the kitchen and saw the basement door wide open. She ran down the stairs…

There, she saw two girls, and two women. One of the women was standing in front of the older girl, as though they were about to face off, while the younger girl and the other woman stood in watch.

Lady recognized one of the women. "Obsidia!" she growled, "You fucking bitch, you messed with the wrong one! I'm going to kick your ass so bad you'll wish you were dead! I HATE demon shit like you!"

Obsidia looked up suddenly and saw a fist. In a matter of seconds, Lady was on top of her, punching her until her knuckles were raw, until Obsidia started to bleed.

Obsidia took her nails and scratched deep cuts into Lady's side. Lady screamed in pain, grabbed Obsidia by the hair, and banged her head on the cement floor.

"Catherine!" she cried, "Do something you lazy bitch!"

Blood covered her entire face, and Lady wouldn't stop throwing blows.

Catherine's eyes glowed and she grabbed Lady, so that she wasn't touching the ground. Then she threw her against the wall. Lady gasped, all of the wind knocked out of her from the impact. She got up. Madeline's eyes widened at the impression Lady's body had made in the wall.

Dante was too focused. He couldn't hear anything. He had made sure that the door was sealed, but it would only disappear if the house was destroyed. He turned around and made his way back to the area over by the staircase, and saw Lady.

Catherine picked Lady up again and brought her down over her knee, and Dante cringed when he heard the sound of bones cracking.

Lady screamed in pain again. "You bitch! I'll kill you!"

Catherine punched Lady and Lady gasped, her face twisted in immense pain and blood streaming down her lip.

Dante felt his anger spark and he grabbed his guns. He fired a shot and Catherine screamed when a bullet passed through her arm. She released Lady. Obsidia slowly got up and disappeared.

"NO!" Linda screamed, "She got away!"

Dante glowered at Catherine as he stood over her. She glared. "Go ahead, kill me…I don't deserve to live."

He pointed the gun at her head.

"What the hell are you waiting for? I beat up your little bitch, so get it over with." She said with a snort.

"Any last words?" he asked, ignoring her previous comment.

"Wait!" Linda said, running over to her mother.

She was crying. "Why? Why did it have to come to this? Why couldn't you just love us?"

Catherine looked away. "I…it was because I never loved myself."

"Linda…remember what I said." Dante said.

"I…I know…" Linda said, "I haven't changed my mind…can I do it?"

Dante raised an eyebrow. Then he handed her Ivory.

Linda pointed the gun at her mother. She closed her eyes. "I'm sorry." Then she pulled the trigger.

Her mother cried out in pain.

When Linda opened her eyes…she saw that she had only grazed her mother's neck, and the collar had came off.

Catherine held her neck. "Where…what happened? Why am I here?" she asked.

"Don't play that amnesia bullshit with us, we know you're faking." Lady said, holding her side.

"I really don't know what you're talking about." Catherine said, confused. Then her memory flooded back to her. "Oh…oh dear…"

Linda picked up the collar. "This…was Obsidia's doing. She had mom doing what ever she wished through mind control. She isn't lying."

"So does that mean mommy doesn't have to die?" Madeline asked.

"I know that I never really showed you girls, but I do really love you." Catherine said.

"You're lying. You told us that you had no love for yourself…how the hell can you love us?" Linda spat.

"That may be true, but there was always something deep on the inside of me that wanted to reach out to you…I just didn't know how…and not to mention the fact that I thought I was having a nightmare. I couldn't believe that I was doing those horrible things to you girls, but I couldn't control myself. Obsidia did deceive me…I thought that she loved and cared for me, but all she was doing was using me." Catherine said, "I'm so sorry."

She began to cry. "If I could…I would go back and make it as though those things had never even happened…but I can't."

Linda and Madeline looked at each other. They ran into Catherine's arms.

"Oh mommy, we forgive you." Madeline said happily.

"I just want to be a family again." Linda said.

"We will." Catherine said, "I promise that I'll be a better mother to you both."

"I hate to break up your little Kodak moment, but I need to destroy this house, or else that door has a possibility of being reopened." Dante said, pointing to the location of the door.

"Alright girls, let's go." Catherine said, getting up slowly.

"Mommy…I want to go home." Madeline said.

Catherine smiled. "Let's." and she turned to Dante. "Sorry for all of the trouble I caused. No hard feelings?" she asked.

Dante smiled. "It's all apart of the job. But if it hadn't turned out the way that it did…I'm sure I'd probably be hating your guts."

Catherine laughed. "Well, thankfully that's not the case. I appreciate that you protected my girls too. And I hope you bring my sister to justice. Farewell…and good luck." Catherine said.

"Bye!" Linda said with a smile.

"Bye-bye!" Madeline said with a giggle.

"Good bye girls." Dante said with a brief nod.

"I hope we'll see you again!" the girls said, and they disappeared with their mother.

Dante turned his attention over to Lady, who was leaning against the staircase banister for support.

He cocked his head to the side. "Why'd you come?"

"I had to warn you…" she said.

"I think you were a little too late." He said with a chuckle.

"No shit Sherlock." She said flatly, "But I didn't want you to die by Obsidia's hand…God, the least you could say is thank you."

Dante made his way over to her and smirked. "Thank you." He said, "But you shouldn't get an attitude with me…I never asked you to get your ass kicked for me."

Lady pushed him. "Fuck you." She said angrily. She moaned from the pain as she fell into his arms.

"Take it easy." He said. He slid a hand over her side and she yelled whilst wincing.

"I'd say you probably have some broken ribs…or let's hope that they're major fractures." He said with a smile.

Lady looked up into his eyes with a frown. "I hate you. You and that damn smile, what the hell are you always smiling about?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" he said with a chuckle.

"Go to hell." She said.

"Been there…and back." He said.

"Uggh! Shut the hell up!" she said.

Dante picked her up gingerly. "Let's get out of here."

When they got outside, Dante went back inside and found a container of gasoline in the basement. He poured it on the demon portal and made a trail that led upstairs. Then he lit a match, setting the gasoline ablaze. He went back outside to Lady. They walked a few blocks away from the burning house and he hailed a taxi. Then they went back to Devil Never Cry.
