Vergil's next recollection was of waking up in the lap of a small girl. "Fayth?

"Vergil...thank god your up..." He felt as she lightly ran a delicate hand over the cut on one of his white eyebrows. "I'm so relieved to know that you are ok Fayth..."

Vergil sat up, rubbing the back of his head, and looking around the small room that they were locked in. He noticed an unconcious Trish lying on the floor across from him.

"Don't worry, she will be fine..." Fayth pulled her legs up to her chest. "I'm so sorry for what happened between you and your brother Vergil...it is all my fault."

Vergil placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Please do not blame yourself...it is not your fault at all..."

Fayth sighed deeply. "I am so grateful to of found you once again. After our last meeting, I didn't think that I would ever see you again..."

Vergil sat up next to her. "I made a promise to you that I would help you find out what happened to your parents, and I will not go back on my word..."

Fayth managed a smile. "I know Vergil...it's just..." She stopped looking down at the ground.

Vergil used his hand to gently bring her face up to meet his. "Go on Fayth...you can tell me anything..."

The girl smiled at the large man next to her. "It's just that now that my parents are dead, you are like the only family that I have left..."

As Trish laid on the floor with her back to the two, a small tear escaped her eye. "My god...I never knew that Vergil could be so kind..."

Vergil wrapped his arm protectively around the girl. "Then I would be honored if I could call you my daughter, since Dante and I won't be having any children..."

Fayth laughed. "Not without a miracle you won't." She leaned into him, hugging him tightly. "Then would you mind greatly if I told my friends that you are my dad?"

Vergil chuckled softly. "I would like nothing better..." He gave her a small kiss on the top of her head, making her smile widely. "Now get some sleep. We could both use it, and when we wake up, we will try and find a way out of this room."

He felt the girl nod, and relax against him, making him think of Dante. "I only hope that it's not to late for us little brother..."

Trish laid still, breathing softly, as she tried to choke back her tears. "I was so wrong...Dante was so lucky to have a man like that...I just hope it's not too late..."

Several hours later, Vergil awoke, first checking to see that Fayth was still next to him, and then to Trish. His eyes studied the small room, but he didn't see her anywhere, until he looked to the room's door, and found it cracked open.

A small smile graced his lips. "That little minx...she always was an excellent lock picker..." He shook Fayth gently. "Fayth, wake up...we need to go now.."

Fayth yawned, and stood up as Vergil did. Vergil peeked out of the door, and brought his head back in. "It is daylight outside. We can use that to our advantage, since all of the vampires will be sleeping..."

"Where are we going?" The girl looked up into the softened eyes of her protector.

"First, I need to find Dante, and get this mess sorted out. Then, if your assumptions are correct, and Yoichi did murder your parents, we will look for some kind of evidence. There has to be some in this place."

Vergil put his hand on his side. "Dammit...they must of taken my sword when they knocked me out..."

"I know where they keep things like that...It should be in a room near the front doors." Fayth smiled at Vergil.

"Ok...but Dante comes first..."

The two began to sneak up and down the many long hallways of the castle, looking into every room, but finding most of them empty.

Vergil turned the knob to the last door on his right, and his face lit up. He could see the back of his twin, a white sheet covering his lower half. He turned to Fayth.
"Go into the room across from this one, I will be in shortly with Dante..." She nodded and entered the room, closing the door quietly behind her.

Vergil tip toed into Dante's room, closing the door softly behind him. As he did, he saw the indentation of his twin's fist in the back of it, dried blood marks dripping from it. He closed his eyes in pain. "I am so sorry Dante...I never meant for this to happen..."

He walked quietly over to the bed, frowning as he could see an empty vodka bottle in Dante's hand. Gently he removed it, and set it on the night stand. He watched for what seemed like hours, as Dante stirred in his sleep, breathing deeply and rythmically. "How I have missed you..." His heart ached, as he saw that Dante's eyes looked puffy and red, as if he had been crying for hours. He brushed a stray strand of hair from his brother's face. "I do love you Dante...more than you could imagine..."

Vergil raised his hand and softly ran it across Dante's back. Dante arched himself into the touch, a small smile gracing his soft lips. "Yoichi..."

Vergil retracted his hand as quickly as if he had stuck it into a bear trap. Tears began to stream down his face, as he realized that he had lost his partner forever. "Dante...I hope that he will love you, and value you as much as I always will..." Vergil's face snapped back to it's former cold self, and he stood up from the bed, wiping his tears away. "Goodbye forever Dante...you will be better off this way..."

He walked to the door, before shooting his brother a final glance, and closing the door behind him.

Dante woke suddenly, turning himself over to face the door. "That was weird..." He yawned, and took several deep breaths. All of a sudden his eyes shot open, at the scent of the sheet next to him caught his attention. "Vergil?" Dante held the white sheet to his nose, inhaling deeply. He looked all around the room, before settling back into sleep. As he did, he grabbed the sheet in a bundle, and held it close to him. "God I miss you Verge...I can't picture my life without you...tonight, I'm going to find you, and hear you out...maybe I'm wrong about this whole mess...:" He closed his eyes, and drifted back to sleep.

Vergil opened the door the room Fayth was hiding in. "Fayth, are you in here?"

He saw her peek out from under the bed. "Yeah..." She crawled out, walking over to the large man. "Where's Dante?"

Vergil closed his eyes. "He's not coming..."

Fayth looked concerned. "What do you mean he's...

"He's not coming all right?" Vergil's temper snapped, catching her completely off guard.

She backed away, slowly as if she was frightened. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..."

Vergil walked to her, kneeling next to her small body. "No...it is I who am sorry...please forgive me..."

Fayth grabbed Vergil's neck in a tight hug, causing his tears to flow once more. "It's ok dad...we've got eachother right?"

Vergil hugged her back tightly. "Yeah kid...we do." Vergil's heart ached, as he knew that very soon, he would leave her to, and return to his rightful throne.

Fayth pulled away, using one of her small hands, to wipe away Vergil's tears. "Don't cry. Everything will work itself out..." She smiled at him, causing him to smile slightly back.

Vergil stood, using his shirt sleeve to dry his face. "We should be going. I peeked into a large library earlier. I think that we should start looking there..."

Fayth nodded. "Yeah...thats where Yoichi keeps all of his important stuff..."

Vergil peeked out of the door, and signaled that the coast was clear, and the two made thier way to the library at the opposite end of the hallway. Opening it, Vergil walked in to see books and maps scattered around the room. "I could spend years in here...Dante would kill me if he heard me say..." He stopped himself, remembering that his twin was now in his past.

Fayth looked up at the man next to her, seeing nothing but an icy coldness now in his eyes. "Vergil? Are you alright?"

He looked down at her, his stone cold expressionless face now returning. "I am fine...lets look around."

Vergil started on one side of the room, and the girl on the other, until Vergil turned to the large table in the middle of the room, a map laying curled up on it. As he unrolled it, his face became dark, and stupified. "He wouldn't send Dante there..."

Fayth joined him at the table, holding a file in her hands. "Send Dante where?"

Vergil continued to stare at the map. "The single worst place in either of our worlds. The reason why Yoichi needed your necklace..."

Fayth looked confused. "My father's necklace?"

Vergil nodded. "I believe that necklace is the reason that your parents were murdered..."

Fayth's eyes started to well up. "Over a stupid necklace?"

Vergil sighed. "It is no ordinary necklace Fayth...it is a key."

"To what?" The girl wiped her eyes.

"Do you remember that after out first few meetings, I asked you to hold onto it, so that I might research what it might be?"

The girl nodded.

"I came to discover something in the process, that I never knew existed. I had heard rumors, but I didn't believe a word of them. Now I know them to be true."

The girl cocked her head to one side. "Rumors? What rumors?"

Vergil hung his head low. "I heard of a place in the depths of the underworld so horrific, that only the most terrible beings were vanquised to it. It is as clsoe to hell as one could possibly set foot in." He looked the girl in the eyes. "And now Yoichi has the key to openeing it."

She gasped. "Oh my god...and he is going to send your brother into that place?"

Vergil nodded. "That is no longer my concern..."

Fayth slammed her fist on the table. "Dammit Vergil! He's your brother! You can't just let him go in and get himself..."

Vergil slammed both of his hands down on the table in front of him, his blue eyes flashing red. "I said it is not my concern anymore...deal with it..." He turned, and started to exit the room.

Fayth ran after him, grabbing his coat. "Vergil...where are you going? You can't just leave me here!"

Vergil turned suddenly, grabbing her wrist in his large hand. "This is where we part. I told you that I would help you find out why Yoichi did what he did...nothing more..." Vergil released her hand, and exited the room, leaving Fayth to drop to her knees and sob uncontrollably. "Vergil...why?"

On the other side of the door, Vergil put his hand to it. "I am so sorry that I had to do that to you Fayth...but I must distance myself from human emotion, if I am to rule the underworld once more...I will never forget you..." Vergil took his hand off of the door, and disappeared around one of the hallways dark turns.

He was about to leave, when he remembered his sword. He began to inspect several rooms near the frontdoors, finally finding it on an old dusty table, and reattaching it to his side. As he was opening the front doors, he turned back once more. "Dante...maybe you and I will meet once again after all..." Vergil closed the doors behind him, and started through the snow on the long walk back to Devil May Cry.

The dark twin reached the doors to Dante's business, just as the sun was starting to set. He walked in, removing Dante's large boots, and coat.

"Home so soon Vergil? He turned to see Trish sitting in Dante's office chair.

Ignoring her, he started upstairs to collect his things. He rolled his eyes, as he heard footsteps coming up the stairs after him. Trish stood in the doorway, watching him pack, her hand on her hip. "Going somewhere?"

He shot her an icy glare. "As a matter of fact...yes." He zipped up his armoured leather top, and gracefully swung his blue coat around his body.

"You wouldn't be going back to that crap whole that you used to call a home would you?"

The dark twin looked into her eyes, making hers soften, as she realized the sharp pain that his held. His face reamained expressionless. "It is none of your concern anymore..." He pushed past her. "Excuse me..."

As he reached the bottom of the steps, he heard the click of a gun behind him. He sighed deeply, putting a hand on his katana. "What are you doing Trish?"

"Stopping you from making a huge mistake...thats what."

Vergil turned to face her. He took the guns barrel in his hand, and moved it up, so that it was directly pointing at his heart. "If you are going to shoot me, at least do it into the hollow void that you always said I had."

Trish felt her stomach churn, and guilt rack her mind. "Vergil...I..."

He shoved the barrel in more forcefully. "Do it Trish...because now that I don't have Dante to make me feel more human than I ever thought possible, I really don't care if I live or die. In fact, I already feel as though I am dead inside so what does it matter?..."

"I know the truth about you and Fayth, Vergil...I know that you were helping her...Dante needs to know the..."

Vergil's unemotional demeanor began to crumble before her. "I have no desire to even try and relay the truth to him any longer Trish..."

Trish looked deeply into his now glossy eyes. "Why the hell not? If you would just tell him the truth, then you guys could..."

Vergil pushed her back into the wall behind her, his eyes looking lifeless, and cold. "Because Trish...Dante has made his choice about who he wants to be with, and to your great pleasure, it wasn't me..."

"Isn't you? Then who?"

"Yoichi..." The name dripped off of Vergil's tounge like venom. "He slept with Yoichi..."

Trish shook her head. "No way...I don't believe you...Dante would never..."

Vergil released her. "Well start believeing it. I heard it from his own mouth when I touched him. He moaned out that man's name...not mine..."

Trish put a hand to her mouth, lowering her gun. "Oh my god Vergil...I'm so sorry, I didn't know..."

Vergil started walking towards the door once more. "Now you do...congratulations...you got what you have always wanted." He opened the door, looking back at her one last time. "Goodbye Trish...and don't come down to the underworld anytime soon. Things there will be changing..." He closed the door behind him, causing snow to fall from the roof onto the snow drifts below.

Trish sank to the floor. "Dante...how could you of done that?" She stood up quickly, a look of anger on her face. "I sure as hell am going to find out." She grabbed her hat, and jacket, and ran out of the business, heading back to the old mansion. "I am going to make things right, even if it kills me..."
