Sorry for the formatting peoples. I have to rely on my little brother to post these chapters for me so basically their going to be messed up because he can't take ten minutes to correct it. Which I'll have to fix once I head to my dads house or get to the library or something.

Chapter 7: Finding the Truth in History

The boy just shrugged a odd feeling in the pit of his stomach off. He looked through the open door.

"Hey Dante you in?" the boy called after he watched the woman fly away.

"Yeah Van."

The young man walked into the house and looked for his best friend. The two if them had known each other for a long time. The scariest part was they almost looked alike. Though Van's skin was a lot paler than his friends. Many people that passed them on the streets asked if they were brothers.

"Are you ready?" Van asked.

"Ready for what?"

"The project we're suppose to work on for history class."

"Sorry bro slipped my mind."

"So what should our project be on? I was thinking the samurai."

"You know everyone else would do their projects on the samurai."

"True so what should we do it on?"

"What about Greek myths?"

"I don't know about that."

"What about the hunters from the Sparda line?"

"You mean your family?"

"Yeah."

"I don't know, Dante. We're not doing so good in history."

"I know."

"Cool thought though."

"I think Mr. Jackson is going to assign our projects if we don't think of something."

"If he doesn't give us a good one you want to do it on my family."

"Can we find books on your family?"

"I'm sure we could. Not to mention that woman that nearly plowed you over could help us."

"How so?"

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you."

"Try me."

"She's knew Sparda. Our devil sire."

"That would make her pretty damn old Dante."

"She's 2182 years old give or take a year or two."

"You're not serious are you?"

"I told you that you wouldn't believe me. She's immortal because of both sides of her family. Her father was Aries."

"You mean the Greek god of War?"

"Yeah.""This keeps getting weirder and weirder."

"Dante there is no sense in scaring him half to death with our family history or even Ariana's history. Poor girl she's lost so much."

"Can you tell me what you know?" Van asked Dante's mother.

"I suppose."

Laura sat down and got comfortable as she began to tell Van about the tragedy that was Ariana Aries's life.

Elsewhere...

Ariana snarled as she sliced through another window. The object of her search lay before her. The other had been destroyed but this one sword, Alastor. She couldn't believe that the idiots of this family would let something as powerful as all those swords be destroyed. Did they think they could survive without them? At least Alastor still existed. The person that owned it didn't realize the demon sword was under his care. Suddenly the lights flipped on and a man stood in the door way.

"You know you could of asked before you took that."

She backed up close to a corner.

"You don't understand."

"Oh I understand Ariana. I preserved this one blade for Dante's awakening." (I made a funny and I didn't even intend to. DMC 3' title)

"Do I know you?"

The man walked forward into the light. The human guise faltered. A devil stood before her.

"Dante's half devil again," she gasped in shock.

"Yes, very good Ariana."

"Sparda why aren't you helping your son out?"

"It's against the rules. I was allowed to come back to recreate my son but not allowed to interfere in his destiny or yours."

"What destiny is that? My world died 200 years ago."

"What about..."

"I will not accept that brat as my mate."

"Ariana..."

"Shut up! I cannot accept the fact that the man I love has been reborn not remembering what we could of had."

"You can help him remember again."

"And let him know that I lost our daughter to Mundus?"

"That was an accident Ariana."

"Accident? Accidents are when a kid breaks a vase with a baseball. That is an accident. My daughter was murdered."

"Be that as it may Ariana that kid will one day mean something to you."

She snored in an unladylike fashion. Alastor's weight was heavy in her hands and it made her sad to think this blade was used in the quest against Mundus. She swore a long time ago that she wouldn't stop until Mundus was in hell permanently with no chance for escape.

"Ariana you might want to get that to Dante so he can begin to train himself again. He maybe half devil again and remembers his training..."

"Yeah I know his body isn't use to the fighting style and type."

"Maybe you could teach him a thing or two."

"Nope sorry I'll deliver the blade but not going to train him."

"Take care Ariana."

"You as well Dark Knight Sparda."

She spread her dark wings that still had the blue tips from the bonding with Virgil.

"Ariana can I ask you something?"

"I suppose so."

"You can control you body umm... how do I put this..."

"Yes, I control it to the point where I knew I was getting pregnant with Rebecca. Thought it would of happened without me doing that. It's another trigger that was attempting to get Virgil to love me. Of course it wasn't needed. By that time we were entrapped within each other's love."

"Make him happy Ariana that's all I ask."

"I told you that kid isn't my Virgil. He maybe in spirit and looks but it isn't the same as him remembering me truly as I was."

"You can't hide from him forever Ariana he'll remember eventually."

"What ever..."

She leapt out the same window she had entered. Back At DMC Laura finished up with the history of the sad demi-goddess. Van was saddened by everything that had happened to her. She did nothing wrong and she lost everything. Something inside him stirred at the story. Van had a feeling that one day the beast within him would surface.

Flashback...

Something within Van's body shook. It felt like surpressed rage. Suddenly his vision went dark.Beasts Mind'Blood... I smell her blood... Death...'Blue engery flowed around him in waves. 'Must protect my mate...'An angry scream echoed through the place. A loud explosion rocked the place. His body was heaving. The beast retreated leaving a exaughsted Van in his wake. Looking around he noticed blood spatters all over the walls from the devisation around him.

"What happened?"

"That's what I'd like to know," a male voice said.

Van whipped around an saw his mirror image staring back

"I...I... didn't..."

Van passed into the oblivion of sleep. Dante scratched his head confused by this kid. Something drew him to the boy for some odd reason. Carfully he picked the boy up and headed towards Devil May Cry his mother would know what to do.

End Flash back

That was 13 years ago. Dante had found him when he woke up from that blackout. They had become friends after that.

"Is something wrong bro?"

"I was just remembering when we first met."

"What about it?"

"My inner beast is calling me."

"Van don't let it out."

"Something about that story made it stir."

"When?"

"When she mention the death of Ariana's daughter."

"Van I suggest you stay here until she returns maybe she'd be able to help you control your inner beast."

As if on cue she landed heavily in the middle of the room. She was in a crouching position. Her eyes were distant as Alastor slammed into the ground to keep her steady.

"Alastor," Dante muttered. "Did you find any of the others?"

"No, Alastor is the only one left. The others have been destroyed."

She carefully handed the devil forged blade to Dante. "Don't let it be destroyed like the others these blades are needed to destroy evil no matter when it rises."

While she and Dante talked Van was watching her intently. She had forgotten he was even there. Though Dante reminded her that he was.

"Ariana I'd like for you to meet my best friend Van Skye."

She didn't look in his eyes due to the fact that she'd see a trapped soul and her emotions couldn't handle the fact that her love was in there somewhere.

"It's nice to meet you Miss Aries."

"I can't say the same for you."

He was taken aback by her calm hatred of him. She stormed out of the house.

"What did I do?"

"Don't fret so much Van," Laura said quietly.

"You look exactly like her old love Virgil. She doesn't want to believe that it's a possibility that you might fall for her again due to your past life."

"Even if I did fall in love with her she'd have to accept me as I am now not because of who I was back then."

"Mom wouldn't that explain Van's darker half?"

"Now that I think about it, it does."

"How so?" Van asked aloud.

"You're dark half is searching out his soul mate. Your dark side is Virgil Sparda."

"Is that why I reacted so violently that one night?"

"Something must of happened to her that night and it set him off."

"He didn't express anything much than sorrow when he found out that Rebecca died."

"Virgil actually never fully knew his daughter. He thought his wife had died and therefore sought revenge against Dante."

"I wonder if that's why Dante and I became friends really fast is due to our souls begin brothers."

"With the twins the balance of dark and light was titled towards darkness due to the twins heritage. I'm not saying that Virgil was bad or anything he accepted his fate to die for the safety of the world. The scale was tipped in goods favor with his death. It was in a sense his redemption for the crimes he had committed in his life. There was no hate between them. It's just they recognized their destines and followed it. And now he has a second chance with his love to make up past failures. The two were born again due to the fact that you complete each other as darkness and light, yin and yang one is not there without the other near by." (i hope that makes sense to you other people. I don't believe that Virgil is entirely bad. Despite what one of my friends says.)

"I don't believe in destiny. We control our lives," Dante snapped.

"That as it maybe Dante but..."

"Destiny is controlled by the Fates. They determine who lives or dies," a male voice said.

The entire group whipped around to see a man with dark brown hair and glittering eyes. Van dipped his head towards the man.

"Aries?" he asked.

"Hello Van or should I call you Virgil?"

"Van please. What brings you here Aries?"

"Ariana's getting restless and that's dangerous."

"That would be her fault then," Dante said.

"Dante enough," Laura snapped.

"Are you her father Aries."

"Yes Miss Sparda. I need to speak with Van alone."

The two Sparda's walked out of the room.

"What's so important that you have to leave your safe haven to talk with me?"

"Ariana's killing herself by denying her bonding to your soul."

"I don't understand."

"The two of you are bound together by the souls. She's killing herself because she's denying the other half of her soul that being you."

"She'll come around."

"Hopefully before it's to late."

Aries turned and began to walk away.

"It's good to have you back Virgil."

Van bowed his head. This new bit of information made him think. Time wasn't on his side this time.

A/N: There it is peoples. What do you think?
