Disclaimer: Dark-KaZuki and I do not own Devil May Cry or anything from DMC.

Note (LosstarotGirl): The second chapter. You'll get to meet Raine and Erika. I hope you enjoy it. And don't forget to thank Dark-Kazuki for coming up with this story. I probably never would have thought of it. Also, my brother came up with the story title in this chapter. So it's kind of a three-person effort in creating this story. And I'll shut up now so you can read the chapter.

Raine, Virgil and Erika arrived at the same time, all three wondering why Dante had called them in the first place. All they could understand was he had found something he liked on the Internet and wanted to show them. Dante could be so weird at times.

Virgil was the first to get in, nearly locking the two girls outside. "You invited them because?" He asked Dante, expecting him to say something about a party.

"Because they would like this site too." Dante answered, shoving his brother away from the door.

Virgil walked towards the library, wondering how he could have allowed Dante to even talk him into this. He had better things to do than watch Dante look at things on his computer. What that was, exactly, he didn't know. But he did know that there was something better that he could be doing instead of this.

"Virgil!"

Virgil turned to see an angry Erika stomping in his direction. "Did you run into the door on your way in?" He asked with a cruel grin.

"For your information, I wasn't the one that ran into the door." She growled.

Virgil chuckled and threw his arm around her shoulders. "Don't worry. She'll heal." He spoke through his struggling laughter.

"That's not the point." Erika was now close to laughing with Virgil, her face set in an angry expression that was melting away.

"Ouch." They heard Raine behind them. She was holding her hand to her forehead and glaring at Virgil while Dante walked next to her, offering to get an ice pack. "I am going to kill him." Raine growled.

Erika, thinking of the possibility of Raine actually beating Virgil, which wasn't very likely, stepped out in front of him and began to calm Raine down. "He didn't mean to hit you with the door." She explained. "He was only joking when he tried to lock us out. He's real sorry about it."

"Yeah right." Virgil muttered behind her.

Erika quickly hit him, indicating that he wasn't supposed to talk at the moment.

"We'll meet you two in the library." Erika went on. "Virgil and I will get the ice pack." She grabbed his sleeve and pulled him back and towards the kitchen. She then growled under her breath to Virgil, "Don't you ever expect me to do this ever again."

After moving out of earshot, Virgil answered, "That's what you said last time."

"What?" Erika was confused.

"Never mind." Virgil walked on, leaving Erika to wonder what he had been talking about.

Raine and Dante sat in front of the computer, looking at the list of stories.

"Thanks for letting us in." Raine said while leaning towards Dante. "I didn't expect Virgil to slam the door in our faces."

"I didn't expect him to come." Dante answered. "I'm glad you came too. Erika gets too serious about everything."

Raine was surprised. Usually Dante would joke around with both of them and now he was showing favoritism towards her. She knew something had to be going on.

Dante suddenly mussed her hair, creating a light mound of hair on the top of her head. "Perfect." He said afterwards with an artist's satisfied grin.

Raine quickly fixed her hair and punched Dante for messing it up in the first place. She then thought it over and hit him again for grinning about it.

Before Dante could say anything about the two hits, Erika and Virgil finally arrived in the library, neither one talking to the other.

"Lover's quarrel?" Dante asked sarcastically.

"Shut-up." They answered in unison.

Dante nodded, deciding he was right. He turned back to the computer and began scrolling through the stories again. He hardly noticed that Erika and Virgil were standing behind him, both looking somewhat curious but trying to hide it.

"That one." Erika suddenly said, pointing to a title that seemed unlikely to Dante.

"The Wedding Killer?" Dante asked doubtfully.

Erika tilted her head. "Well, did you look at the summary?"

Dante looked. "So?"

"Move it." Erika said, shoving Dante off his chair.

She sat in his place and began to read the summary, " 'Dante crashes a wedding after learning that some of the guests aren't human.' That's why I want to read it." She looked to the annoyed Dante and clicked on the title.

" 'Dante crouched behind the last pew, his ice eyes searching for the demon that he had seen going into the church. He couldn't understand what a demon was doing in a church, even less why it would be attending a wedding. At least it was enough to get his interest.'" Erika smiled. "That sounds like Dante alright."

"Enough about if it sounds like me. If you're going to read, read." Dante was beginning to lose his temper.

" 'His eyes suddenly fell on the demon.' Ouch." Erika commented. Everyone glared at her until she continued. " 'He immediately jumped and, landing on the unsuspecting demon, began to beat it mercilessly.

" 'The people around him screamed out of fear and began to run, mostly running into each other and trampling whoever was unfortunate enough to fall.' The writer didn't really have much respect for people, did he?"

Raine, getting far too annoyed with Erika's comments, began to read instead. " 'The demon threw Dante off and jumped into the air, grabbing onto a chandelier and swinging until it could find a safe place to escape to.

Dante calmly looked up and called, "You think that's going to save you?" before jumping after it and catching hold of one of its bony feet. He began climbing up the demon only to be kicked off, landing in the chaos below.

'After avoiding several feet, he stood and searched the room for the demon again. He found it just as it ran out the front door.

Knowing that he had no other choice, Dante climbed onto the shoulders of the wedding guests and, trying not to step on any heads, ran over the mass of people and out the door. He stopped and looked up and down the streets. The demon was nowhere in sight.'"

"Is that all?" Virgil asked, boredom overtaking his voice.

"I liked it." Erika said; giving Virgil a look that told him she at least had taste, as far as she believed, anyways.

"We should read more." Raine said excitedly.

"Why don't we take turns each day?" Dante suggested.

"This is bad." Erika hid her face in her hands. "I'm never going to escape, am I?"

"At least you aren't related to one of them. I had to put up with Dante for years until we finally were able to find different apartments."

"Look what good that did for you." Erika mumbled as she stood and tried to sneak away.

Virgil followed her with his eyes, then thought of a way to make her suffer. "I'll choose the next story for tomorrow." He said to Dante, noticing Erika's quick turn around and venomous glare. "I'm sure I can find something better than what you three would."

"So it's agreed?" Dante asked, expecting everyone to be just as thrilled about it as he was. Raine was the first to jump at the idea. Erika was hesitant but took it as a challenge to out do Virgil.

Raine and Dante were glad to finally have something to look forward to each day since the shortage of demons. Little did they know, their pleasant little daily gatherings would become contests of who could either torment everyone the worst or of who could find the better stories.
