Lady carefully leaned towards the whispers from the alleyway beside her. Immediately she knew the creatures were demons, and so she decided to discover what they were so very excited about.
"They've told me she's awake!" The first hissed in joy.
"Awake! When? Oh! This is such good news!" The second replied, "When is the marriage? Tomorrow, right?" There was a pause, and then they both ran in opposite directions. Lady realized her shadow had fallen in view of them...
Suddenly a hand landed heavilly on her shoulder, causing her to shriek and then proceed to kick the assailant and have her guns readily aimed at their face.
A low groan caused Lady to recognize her attacker, "Mary... sorry, I was just saying... ohhhhh... coming to tell you that I was... sorry!"
"Dante," Lady rolled her eyes and sighed in relief, holstering her handguns.
"Yeah, you kicked me!" Dante growled, "And you almost got me in a really painful area!" He stood up, glaring at her.
She giggled, a little to Dante's dismay, "Well, I guess I should've known you'd come looking for me," she smiled.
"Whatever," Dante shrugged, "Look, since I'm such a terrible demon hunter, why don't you come back before you get yourself killed?"
"Why do you think I'd get killed!" Lady snapped, "I'm 'just a human' and I've been doing the same work as you and managed to live just as long!"
It was now Dante's turn to roll his eyes, "Sheesh! I'm sorry! Can we just forget about all this crap and call it a day?"
Lady was still angry, but nodded.
As they were walking back, Lady told him about what she had heard.
Dante froze, grabbing her arm, "LADY! It's the wedding ceremony between sin and humanity!"
"What! What are you talking about?" Lady asked.
"When the bride of Hell, who holds all sin inside herself is married to a half demon... a half human that has submitted themselves to corruption and evil... I am pretty sure I know who the groom is!" Dante stood, still holding Lady's arm in his grasp.
Lady grabbed his arm that was clutching her own, "What happens, when they are married?"
Dante's eyes were wide with fear, "Hell takes over Earth, and is mingled with humanity... This is bad, especially if the groom is..."
"Vergil," Lady nodded.
"We've got to stop it!" He took her hands in his, and stared into her eyes.
Lady frowned in repulsion, "Dante..."
"Shhhh, I think I heard something," He looked around, but kept hold of her hands.
"Let go of me," Lady growled.
Dante pulled her closer, into his embrace. Lady was pinned with her arms at her sides, very uncomfortably and stiffly, "I don't see why you can't stand me so much... I actually really like you, ya know..."
Lady stood, trapped, helpless, and speechless.
Dante leaned down and kissed her, and although Lady fought it with all her mind, she consented with her own lips...

Oooh, don't you just love filler chapters? ME TOO! Not. Ugh, I may replace this chapter w/ something better later, but right now I just want to write Vergil and the bride's wedding night scene!
This was supposed to show more of Dante and Lady's character relationship and also more of their individual character.
