Disclaimer: I know a lot of you found the prologue very short, but don't worry that's only the prologue, and if it doesn't make sense to you then later on in the story you will probably know why it's called 'Family Reunion' but i won't say why now...cause it WILL definitely ruin the story. If later on in the story you still don't get it. Then... i don't know what to say, but ughh just don't read it then! But please R&R:) oh and NO FLAMES!

Chapter 1:
A young women woke up from bed in shock all sweaty, and carried a picture frame with a women, a kid, and a piece of the right corner ripped off. "I miss you mother." She kissed the women on the picture, and placed the frame back on the coffee table. She headed towards the bathroom. When she took off her clothes she turned the cold water on and stepped into the shower. She sat down slowly at first and kept banging her head back and fourth on the wall looking at the shower curtains.
When she stopped banging her head she closed her eyes. She was shaking and biting her tongue at the same time. That was until she bit her tongue to hard and it started to bleed. "Ow, shit! I don't get it? Why the hell is that dream still bothering me for the past 10 years?" Raven was asking herself way to many questions. "I just don't get it! My mother Alexandra is dead from my father Zarroc, but Zarroc is dead from the legendary dark knight Sparda. So if---"
"HEY RAVEN! ARE YOU UP THERE?" Raven sat up then turned the water off. She got out of the shower and put on her robe. 'Please not Rob, please not Rob, please not Rob. She was hoping not to see Rob; her assistant. Then when she looked out the window she saw...Rob. "Hey Rob, i thought you quit the job?"
"Nah, i think it's so much fun working with ya, and guess what?
"What?"
"I promised myself that i'm never gonna leave this job until the day i die!"
"Uh-huh...oh man just what i need to hear." She whispered to herself.
10 Minutes later...
Raven exited the apartment building. "Hey Rob, how are you this morning?"
"Oh i'm doing pretty well, nice of you to ask! how 'bout you?"
"Oh well i ughh...let's just say i woke up on the wrong side this morning."
"Right..." Rob and Raven continued walking until they reached Fuji Company. "So Raven, what are you going to tell Mr. Rytheson today?"
"Well i'm definetly not going to say anything about unfinished paperwork i was suppose to give him."
"RAVEN! COME TO MY OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!" When Raven stepped into Mr. Rytheson's office; her boss, she saw him carrying a folder with her name on it. "Please sit down Raven." Raven took a seat in front of him slowly and quietly...
"Raven your fired!"
"WHAT! Your joking right?"
"No i'm not joking because you don't know how much paperwork you owe me...
"And how much is that sir---"
"You owe me 28. You never handed me any, so your fired!"
"But i---" She started to studder. "YOUR FIRED!" Raven stomped her way out. "So Raven what happened?" Rob asked. "You wanna know what happened?"
"Of course! Tell me everything, what happened?"
"I got...fired. Your just gonna have to work with someone else!" Rob just stood their in shock, and couldn't believe what he was hearing. When Raven exited out of Fuji Company she looked awfully pissed. When she was heading back to her apartment, right when she turned she hit someone carrying about 4 boxes of pizza. "Oh my god, i'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you."
"Dammit watch where your going next time..." A man said bent down rubbing the back of his head trying to figure how to fix the mess. "Umm, how about you tell me how much all of those cost, and i will pay you the money! Cause i'm terribly sorry for what i just did!"
The man looked up and then saw a women dressed in black. When he stood up he just made a sigh. "Okay look little miss clumsy, i'll let you off this time because of your beautiful looks, but next time this happens...then i guess we'll just have to go with your idea."
"Beautiful? Look mister i have a name you know, and i will make sure it doesn't happen again because next time i'll look where i'm walking. Besides it was not only 'ME' you were not looking as well, 'cause all of those pizza boxes were covering your face. "
"Well then why couldn't you look up straight in about..." He looked at his watch. "...2 minutes ago. I mean your right. I did have something covering my face, but what about you?"
"It's none of your business." She started to walk off. "Look lady, if you think about seeing me and my good looks again you could come down by my office. It's not too far you know, and it's called Devil May Cry."
"Do you think i'm stupid? Why would i even think about looking for you in the first place?" She said right when she turned around. "Well if you need help of course. I'm a demon hunter. Dante at your service." He bowed down to Raven. "Demon Hunter? Well guess what Dante? I think that i can kill demons on my own because if i've done it on my own before then i can do it again." Dante stood up straight then sighed. "Okay fine. I tried my best but i failed."
"What are you talking about?" 'what does he mean? He failed?' Raven thought. Dante turned back and continued walking back to his office while Raven just stood there on the sidewalk. "Umm...Dante, excuse me!" Dante glanced back at Raven. "Will you---Do you wanna stop by the coffee pub nearby and you know...just...talk?" Just when she was finishing her question, she would start to mumble. Dante turned around quick. "Well why didn't you say so in the first place?"
At the Coffee Pub
Raven and Dante talked about eachother for about 2 hours already, and neither of them were dying of boredom.
"Sooooo, is that all you do for a living?" Raven asked Dante. "Pretty much. Besides that...i have fun for a very short period of time."
"What the hell do you do for fun?"
"Oh umm...I don't think you would really want to know...'cause..." Dante said while looking around the room. "Of course i do. Come on tell me..."
"Well i...go to Love Planet, that's all i'm telling you, no more!"
'Love Planet?...where did i hear that before?' Raven thought."You go to strip clubs!"
"Shh, oh man your so loud. Now everyone will know."
"Why do you wanna hide it so badly. Oh wait can i guess? Is it that you girlfriend is in here, and if she hears you think she's going to dump you?" Dante just sat there staring at Raven quietly. "No."
"Umm...is it your...boyfriend."
"NO!" Dante hit Raven's head with a newspaper so she can shut-up.
"Fine have it your way! Let's just change the subject okay! Oh i know remember when you said something about you killing demons for a living?"
"Yeah." Dante nodded. "Well how do you do it, i mean demons are pretty strong and if you do it for a living then... that's just crazy talk. I've never met a human like you before."
"Well Raven, let's just say that i'm not exactly a full human."
"What?"
"Well i'm only half."
"Hahahahaha---"
"What's so funny?" Dante asked Raven in confusion.
"Heh heh...umm you said that you were only half human, then what's your other half?"
"Okay fine if i tell you, are you still going to talk to me?"
"Yeah of course silly, i mean heh it's not like your other half is a demon or something right?" Raven started to slide her chair back slowly. "Okay Raven, umm just say if hypothetically i was half demon and half human. What will your reaction be?"
"Well Dante that's a very smart question. You said 'hypothetically' right? So if you were then i'll be running out of here, going to my apartment,getting my awesome looking weapons, coming back here, then killing you." She just had a smile on her face then when Dante was about to talk, her face became all serious again. "So you will kill me?"
"Pretty much yeah, cause you know your not the only demon hunter around here Dante. I kill demons as well."
Dante just looked at Raven blankly...
Dante stood up and stretched. "Well i think are chatting here is done. I think i'm going to leave now, see ya babe..."
"Dante!"
"...I meant Raven."
"Much better. Maybe i could come with you and...oh yeah you forgot to tell me about the whole thing with your other half."
"I really don't feel good Raven, i think i can go by myself."
"Oh okay."
Dante outside of the coffee pub
'I just don't get it. How could Raven be a demon hunter as well? If she was then i would have met her already before somewhere. I thought i was the only demon hunter in this city, oh man my days keep just getting worse.' While dante was walking, he heard someone's voice then when he turned back he saw a person walking towards him. It was a bald man all dressed in black and had all these disgusting red markings on the left side of his face. "Who the hell are you?"
"Are you Dante, the son of the legendary dark night Sparda?"
"Why do you care old man?"
"Your brother Vergil sent me here? He says that since it's his birthday this upcoming saturday, why don't you be a dear brother and send him an early gift?"
"Hmm, what's that answer i'm looking for...oh yeah i remember NO WAY! Why doesn't he come up to me and---wait a minute when you said that he wants an early gift from me, what does he really want?"
"The amulet that hangs across your neck this very moment."
"Well why don't you tell my dear elderly brother that he has his own. So the answer is no."
"If you don't want to give it to me then that's okay, 'cause if he doesn't see that i have it when i get back he WILL come looking for you."
Someone's voice yelled out behind Arkham. (Oh the ugly old man is Arkham if you people didn't know...) "DANTE!" Arkham turned around then disappeared. Dante just looked straight forward at the person who called his name, and that someone sounded exactly like Raven. Dante and Raven were walking towards eachother then when they finally went face to face, it started to pour rain like crazy.
"What are you doing here Raven? I already told you that i was gonna go by myself."
"What are you talking about i was going home Dante. I just left the coffee pub about 3 minutes ago." Raven started to walk away until Dante called out her name.
"Look do you want to come...to my place for awhile i mean it's not too far from here. All i know is that it's closer to the coffee pub then from where you live."
"Really? Okay." When Dante and Raven got back to Devil may cry, Dante offered Raven to sit on the couch. "Okay Raven, there is something very important i have to tell you."
"Okay sure." Dante knelt down on one knee then held Raven's hand. Raven looked down completely shocked. "The thing i told you back at the coffee pub with me being the whole half human person, well remember when i said if my other half 'hypothetically' was a demon. Well it's true Raven i'm half human and half demon...but---"
Raven pulled her hand away from Dante's. "Why couldn't you tell me that before?"
"Raven i just didn't trust you, but now that no one else is here---"
"COOL! Does this mean i get to work with you now?"
"Your not mad?"
"Well maybe just a little bit Dante, i just can't believe i'm actually saying this but umm...i kind of like you...AS A FRIEND!" Raven looked away thinking she is so stupid telling dante that she actually likes him. Dante just had a smirk on his face from Raven's response. "Don't sweat it. I get liked by girls everyday, but most are not as beautiful as some of them." He started to check Raven out. "Well Dante i have a secret up my sleeve about my past as well..."
"Well what is it?"
