Man I can't believe I've already written Chapter 6! By the time this is done I will probabally have carpal tunnel...LOL Its well worth it... OK...here ya go...BTW...Thanks to everyone who took the time to review this for me :) And thanks for all of the great reviews...a special thanks to Seeker for all of your great input..:)

Trish and Vergil sat across from eachother, both silent, until Vergil broke the silence.

"What is it you wish to know first?"

"How is it that you're not dead? I thought Dante slayed you on Mallet Island all those years ago..." She paused for a second looking over at Dante.

"You know...he couldn't forgive himself for that. He never seemed the same after that day."

Vergil took a deep breath. "I know he didn't, and I don't for one second blame him for what he had to do." He took another sip of his wine.

"Dante and I were always so close growing up. Closer than two brothers should of been, but we were both ok with that. At the same time though, we were both so different. Dante was always the outgoing, loud mouthed, screwball he is today. I however, wanted more. I wanted the feeling of control and power so badly, it caused many arguements between he and I over the years. I never thought in a million years that my yearning for superiority, would eventually turn us against eachother."

After the death of our parents, I went on to college, where I met a professor of science named Arkham. He was as intruiged by the black arts as much as I was so I began to stay after classes, late into the night, studying the realms of the demon world with him. I knew in my gut Arkham was a madman, but continued to study under him never the less. I knew what I wanted, and I knew how to use him to get what I wanted. One day i went into the classroom to go over some maps I had been researching, only to find several janitors putting his things in boxes. I asked what was going on and they told me. Arkham had murdered his wife in cold blood the previous evening. I was taken back at the sheer brutality of it, for I had had met her on several occassions, and found her to be quite literate and charming. At the same time though, I was inspired by the lengths he went to insure the plan we had devised would work perfectly. That night I went to the jail where they were holding him, and sliced the bars off the windows, letting him go free. We worked day and night, and finally managed to ressurect the Temin-ne-gru. I knew he would come for me. I could feel his presence even before I ever saw his face. When we did finally meet, I was too overwhelmed with my quest for power to act rationally. I struck out at him with blind rage, swinging my blade at any movement I saw. All I cared about was getting that stupid necklace from around his neck. How blind I was...how blind and ignorant. In the end I realized the hurt I had caused him. I saw it in his face as I fell into a black oblivion, unwilling to bring him to hell with me. And even after everything I did, he still reached out for me, trying to save my soul. But it was too far blackened and scarred for him to help. If I had that moment to do all over again though, I wonder if I would let him grab hold of me. To save me...I will never know now. Unfortunately for me, that is when I met Mundus, god of the underworld. He promised me an army, riches, and more power than even I could imagine. Gradually he began to invade my thoughts, and later even my dreams, poisoning them with hatred for Dante and the human world. At first I fought these feelings, but one day they just seemed to make sense. So, I plunged deeper and deeper into blackness, until one day, I forgot my own identity."

Trish sat speechless at the table staring at Vergil. "Im so sorry Vergil...I didn't realize..."

Vergil put his hand up. "Its nothing that requires and apology from you. It was my own fault."

"Let me get you an ashtray." Trish went to the kitchen counter and retrieved one, setting it in front of Vergil.

He smoldered out the cigarette and began to realy the rest of his story.

"The power Mudus had over me was too great, and I was too weak to fight it. I forgot my life before I became that...that...lifeless creature called Nelo Angelo. I forgot my father, my mother, but most importantly I forgot about Dante. There were brief points when I encountered him, that I swore I felt a closeness to him, but I couldn't explain it, my body numb from all feeling and remorse. I was ordered to kill him by my master, and that was all that mattered to me back then. As my body became one that was not my own, my mind craved more and more power. I became obsessed with it. All of my thoughts were centered around becoming a dark prince. Mundus convinced me that the one thing standing in my way, ...was Dante, so I set out to destroy him. In the end, I couldn't bring myself to kill him, and instead let him slay me. I thought I was dead, but Mundus, whom Dante thought he had killed, brought me back to health. I was no longer Nelo Angelo anymore. He was finding it harder and harder to control my mind as I got older and stronger. One day, Mundus arranged a mutiny, and turned all of the creatures in the underworld against me. I fought harder than I ever had in my life that day, but in the end I was overpowered. Mundus sentenced me to live out the rest of my life in his dungeon. I was given daily injections that subdued my devil trigger so that I was unable to use it. I was tortured daily. Burned, stabbed, and beaten, until one day, not long ago, I overheard one of the guards talking to another. They were discussing the next chapter Mundus had planned for Dante. I knew I couldn't let it happen. I had taken, and taken, and taken so much from Dante through the years, I knew I had to get free and warn him."

Vergil looked at Trish only to see a horrified look on her face.

"What is it?" Vergil looked questioningly at her.

"I just can't believe thats where you've been all this time. If Dante had known, he would of..."

"Been captured and tortured as I was, and at this moment there would more than likey be no Sparda heirs left."

Vergil looked into his wine glass. "Its been almost 15 years, and I still cannot frogive myself for the terrible pain I infliced on Dante. If I had just been stronger I would of been able to see through the lies and deceit. But I know who I am now. I know what I have to do."

"How did you find him though...he could of been anywhere in the world...why here? Trish got up to grab herself a beer from the fridge.

"You must understand the bond between Dante and I that has never faultered over the years. I can sense him, and he can sense me. We have had it since we were very young. When Dante would run off and play with his friends, only to fall out of a tree and hurt himself, I would come running. I could feel his need for me at that moment and it took presidence over anything else. As we have gotten older, I can still feel it, though now it is stronger than it has ever been. I feel an overwhelming need to protect him.

Mundus and his army are coming to destroy him, and this entire city, and I know Dante cannot stop them alone. I will die fighting by his side if necessary."

"How long have you been following him around like this?" Trish sat back down and put her feet up on one of the unoccupied chairs.

"For a week or so. I must admit that seeing him in action made me realize what a skilled fighter he really is. I never gave him enough credit for that. I was following him the other night watching him fight a pack of gollums, who were no match for him, when I saw him look up into the tree I was sitting in. I swear for a moment that he could see me, but as he took his eyes off of the fight, one of the creatures tore a sharp claw across his thigh. He winced in pain, but managed to slay the creature anyway. I knew even if he didn't that he had been poisoned. That's when i decided to not let him out of my sight for the rest of the night."

Vergil stood up and walked to the backdoor. He just stood there for a moment, almost composing himself before speaking again.

"I knew he was in trouble. I knew i should of stepped in sooner, but I know how Dante is about his pride. I didn't want him to think he needed to be saved, but perhaps he did. I watched as the hounds backed him into corners, and Dante destroy them none the less. I had never been so proud of him as I was watching his determination. It wasn't until Mudus showed up and he was way in over his head, that I decided to make my move. It scared me Trish..."

"What...you the high and mighty Vergil,... scared?" Vergil shot her a glare that could of frozen a candle.

"Just joking...what was it that scared you?" She went back to downing her beer acting innocent.

He directed his vision back to the outdoors. "It seemed, at the height of the battle, that Dante just...well...gave up. I have never seen him look so defeated. I still don't know what to make of it..."

"Maybe you are reading to much into it...ya know?" Trish got up from the table, throwing her beer can in the sink.

"Look...I'm beat. You can crash here tonight if ya want, and we can continue this in the morning. If you could carry Dante up to his bed before you go to sleep though, that would be great. Fell free to grab some of his clothes since you guys are the same size." Trish looked down at Vergils crotch. "At least I think you are the same size...

I wouldn't know about either of you.

"I will not dignify that comment with a response." Vergil stood there staring back at her, all the while thinking..."If only you knew..."

"Well goodnight then..." She turned to head upstairs.

"Trish..." Vergil looked into her eyes. "Thankyou for believing me." He gave her a polite nod.

"I never said I did, but you seem sincere. Just don't screw him over again Vergil whatever you do. I will make you regret it." She balled up her fist at him trying to look tough.

Vergil laughed at the site, raising his hands in a mock surrender. "You have nothing to worry about then...I assure you..."

WIth that Trish went upstairs to go to bed, leaving Vergil and Dante in the livingroom alone together.

Well I hope that answers some of the questions so far...ALOT more to come...and maybe some Dante /Vergil yumminess...LOL Please Read and Review if you like this story! More reviews make for faster updates :)
