Chapter 13. Okay, I have no idea why I have to keep stating the chapters like that…it's habitual I guess…. I'm glad that I'm finally getting around to writing this chapter, although when I was writing chapter 12, I surprised myself a bit…because I was all like: 'Uggh…what am I going to write for this one?' and then when I was writing I was like: 'Uggh…it's not going to be long enough…' but, it actually turned out okay. Patience is a virtue…but I couldn't wait to write this chapter! Because I was like: 'I really want to get to Dante and Lady!' and I'm sure many of you were the same. Well…you know the drill…and it's going to involve waiting a bit before I'm able to start the story. –Wink-

Oh yeah, I would also like to mention that I registered my Microsoft Word today…and it's like what…Saturday? I mean…I think that's the term…'registered'…all I know is that I called this number and gave them the Installation ID and they gave me a number and I put it in and now this message doesn't pop up anymore saying that I have a certain amount of times to open Word and certain things (like saving and opening…) will become unavailable…. Yeah…I had 23 more times…but I finally decided to straighten that out today, and I'm pleased. Because now I can write Devil May Cry fics nonstop! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! . Okay, I'm stopping…hahaha….


Disclaimer: Well…for some odd reason, I couldn't get that restraining order (I'm slowly starting to consider that it's all a conspiracy…-shifts eyes from side to side) and Capcom decided to keep harassing me. So…I had to change my identity…and move to an uncharted island. Not that it's bad or anything…I mean, I'm surrounded by plenty of people just like me…they've all been harassed by Capcom. –Starts laughing- Really…I don't own Devil May Cry 3…or any of the Devil May Cry series…or anything dealing with Capcom. –Laughs harder-

Nurse: Alright you, it's time for your medication…-Hands Author medicine cup-

Me: -Swallows pills- But yes…this isn't so bad…the government even gave me this nice and comfy white jacket…that allows me to feel nothing but happiness, because I'm hugging myself…-Sedated smile and stare- Oh come on…like you people didn't see this coming…I'm not crazy! Capcom did this to me! I swear!

Nurse: Capcom did what?

Me: Landed me in this crazy house!

Nurse: Sure they did honey…and I'm the Queen of England…-Rolls eyes-

Me: N-no, really!

Nurse: Uh huh…this is exactly why you're isolated all by yourself dear…-Shakes head and closes padded cell-

Me: No! Wait! Get me out of here! –Sigh- Well Psychiatrist…we always said I'd end up here…and here I am. Might as well slam myself against the walls for fun….Weeee!

–Rams up against padded wall-


Me: -Puffing away on a Cuban cigar…-

Lady: Sleeping soundly, as well as Dante.

Vergil: -Bursts through the room with demons-

Me: AHH! O.o

Dante: Hm?

Vergil: I always knew you were a little whore brother…you disgust me…-Glare-

Dante: Well, at least I'm not the one who lost their virginity by raping someone…-Snicker-

Vergil: Shut up…

Dante: -Grabs guns- Alright, what is it you want? You want to fight? Fine then, bring it.

Vergil: -Unsheathes Yamato- Prepare to die!

Me: Wait! Dante…at least get dressed…

Dante: If my brother will allow it…

Vergil: Fine. Hurry up and prepare to die!

Dante: Yeah yeah…you keep saying that…but we all know that it's not going to happen…-Pulls up pants-

Vergil: It will! And it's going to happen today!

Dante: You keep telling yourself that. But if you believe it…you are the biggest dumb ass on earth bro…-Pulls on boots and trench coat-

Vergil: -Glare- I am no dumb ass! I am a genius!

Dante: -Smirk- Don't I know it…

Vergil: Not like that! –Death glare-

Lady: Oooo…this I've gotta see. Isn't this such a turn on? Watching two really hot guys fight?

Me: Uh…Lady, they're twins, they look the same…

Lady: Well…that's even better!

Me: Please let me out of here…-Sighs and closes eyes-

Author reopens eyes and is in a lab-

Me: If this isn't weird…I have no idea what the hell is…

Arkham: Why hello. You're awake…-Smiles evilly-

Me: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OMGWTF!

Arkham: It seems that the experiment worked well…

Me: HELP! HELP! HELP! –Takes in a deep breath- HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPP ME!

Arkham: -Squirts large needle- Come now, there's no need for all of that…hold still, this will only hurt a bit…

Me: I wanna go back, I wanna go back! –Closes eyes and reopens them- NOOOOO!

Arkham: -Brings needle to arm-

Me: How am I going to get out of this one?


Dante helped clean and bandage Lady. He laid her on the couch and brought her an icepack to put on her side.

She sighed.

"I've been thinking." Dante said, "And when you said that you didn't want Obsidia to kill me…"

Lady knew what he was about to say, so she quickly interrupted and said: "Yes, I want to be the one to kill you…nothing strange about that. And that is the reason why I showed up."

She looked away.

"Then look me in the eyes and tell me that." He said.

She glared. "Look, I'm tired. Can I go to sleep?"

"You? Tired? A demon hunter never gets tired of hunting demons. And knowing you, you'd try to kill me, regardless of being hurt." Dante said with a smirk.

She looked into his eyes. She felt funny. 'What's wrong with me?' she thought, worried. She quickly looked away.

Dante knelt next to her and took her chin, directing her gaze toward him. "Well? What's the real reason that you got your ass kicked?" he asked with a chuckle.

"I…I don't know okay! I guess it was because I had to get back at Obsidia…" she said.

Dante shook his head. "You just won't admit it will you? That you feel something…"

Lady sat up suddenly. Her heart was racing. She groaned at the sharp pain she felt suddenly, and laid back down. The ice pack that was on her side was now filled with water. It was morning. The sun's cheerful rays shined through the blinds.

Dante was asleep at his desk in a reclined position. Lady looked at him and felt her heart ache.

'No…' she thought sadly, 'I can't…this can't be…why?'

Flashes of encounters they had played in her mind. She realized that the more she saw him…the more she had fallen for him…and her hatred for him was in fact dissipating. She had tried to deny it…but she couldn't. That's why she hadn't killed him. Because every time she came close to killing him…she let him go…

She hated demons…but couldn't he be an exception?

'No…' she thought. But the more she said no…the more her heart ached.

Dante stretched and yawned. He rubbed his face and ran his fingers through his hair. He looked at Lady and smiled.

"You're awake." He said.

"Yeah, you are too." Lady said smartly.

Dante smirked and rolled his eyes. "So, what's happened with you?"

"Well…I was kidnapped and brought to an underworld. I managed to escape with the aid of a girl named Destiny; she then brought me to a village of refuge…and introduced me to a man named Christian…" Lady said.

Dante smirked.

"What?" she asked.

"Oh nothing, I just thought it was funny how you met a guy…did you do anything with him?" he asked.

She glared. "No you goddamned pervert. He helped me get out of the underworld."

"Well who in the world are you keeping your legs closed for?" Dante said with a laugh.

"Look, I don't think about sex all the time like you—okay? I was trying to get out of that place." Lady said.

"I'm sorry." He said.

Lady looked at him and he pouted. She looked away. He got up and pouted in front of her.

"Look, I can't forgive you…we're enemies, so get out of my face!" she said.

He smiled. "You want to forgive me. And we don't have to be enemies, that was something that you came up with." He said.

"So…?" Lady said.

"Why do you hate me so much? I don't remember ever actually doing anything to you…" he said.

"Because you're a demon…and I hate demons." She said.

"Half-demon." He said.

"Whatever." She snorted.

"Well, I haven't tried to kill you. I haven't tried to take you to hell, so…why do you hate me? I mean, if I have caused you some kind of injury, it's only because I was defending myself." He said.

Lady tried to get up. "I'm not going to sit here and listen to this…" she said, growling at her pain.

"Because you know that you don't have a legitimate reason to hate me?" He said.

"Shut up!" she yelled, "Just shut up! So what if I hate you for no goddamned reason, everyone doesn't have to have a reason just to hate! Nazis didn't have a reason to hate Jews, Whites didn't have a reason to hate blacks, they just did!"

Dante just stared.

Lady got up. "I…I just need to leave. This, you helping me…never happened…" she said softly.

She grabbed whatever things she could and limped out of Devil Never Cry.

When she got to her own apartment, she fell to the ground and cried.

"Uggh!" she cried as she slammed her fist to the door, "I'm such a goddamned wreck! I don't love him, I…I…" she said.

She heard the sound of a thousand feet. Her eyes widened.

"Holy shit…" she said.

And then, a swarm of demons.

She closed her eyes, and guns went off.

She opened her eyes and Dante was there, firing away. He ran over to her, threw her over his shoulder, and continued to fire, and run.

"Well, I guess we can finish that conversation we had earlier." He said.

"I don't think so." She said, "I told you, that never happened."

"I don't deny things. There's no reason to." He said.

She closed her eyes.

"Damn, these fuckers won't slow down!" he said, "Why the hell are they after you anyway?"

"I have no idea…" she said.

Suddenly…the demon army stopped. They began to retreat.

"What the hell?" Dante said.

"What?" Lady asked.

"The demons are leaving. They're turning around." He said.

"Maybe we should secretly follow them." Lady said.

"Not in the condition that you're in. You need some more rest." Dante said.

She sighed. "Fine." She said, and then added to herself, "More emotional torment for me…yay…"

And so, she went back to Devil Never Cry once again…
