Chapter 8

Dante sat staring at the young girl in front of him. "I'm sorry for hitting you...that's not like me at all...I don't know what came over me..."

Fayth smiled gently. "It's ok. You thought that your partner had betrayed you." She touched the sid of Dante's cheek with her small hand. "Just promise me that you know now, that he would never do that to you."

Dante nodded. "I do." He hung his head low. "I should of known before now...if there is one thing that Verge is above all, it's honorable..."

Fayth nodded. "That's for sure...and daring."

Dante laughed. "He learned the crazy stuff from me..."

Fayth grew serious. "Speaking of serious, we have a major problem Dante. Yoichi has bigger plans for you than you think. I don't know the details of them yet, but I suspect that they are not to your advantage."

Dante sat back in his chair, a large sigh escaping his lips. "That's not my main concern at the moment. My brother is reverting back to his old ways. You don't know how long it took me to get him to accept love into that cold heart of his. The only thing I feel inside of me now, is emptiness." Dante put his elbows on his knees, looking the girl in the eyes. "It scares the hell out of me Fayth..."

Fayth wrapped her arms around the young twin. "It scares me too Dante. Vergil is my best friend in the world. Yoichi has been pinning you two against eachother from the start. He wanted someone strong to go in after the stone, and found you, and subsequently your brother. He is using you to get what he wants Dante. He dosen't care if you live or die once he has what he wants. We will find a way to fix this ok? In the meantime however, you need to go meet with Yoichi. He's probabally wondering where you are by now..."

Dante hugged her back lightly, and stood up. "Ok. You snoop around and see if you can find out exactly why he wants that damn stone..."

Fayth nodded, and stood as well. "Sounds like a plan..." She started to leave the room, when a hand was placed on her shoulder. She turned to see Dante looking down at her.

"Be careful ok babe? If you mean that much to my brother, then I will protect you as well..."

Fayth smiled. "Thanks...and I didn't mean what I said before Dante...you are a good person. Vergil wouldn't love you if you weren't." She opened the library door, and slipped out.

Dante ran a hand through his hair. "I just hope it's not too late for Vergil and I..."

-----------------------------------------------------------

Vergil and Sonnillon landed on the balcony outside of Vergil's former bedroom. As they did, Vergil took his human form once more, running a hand over his blade. He inhaled deeply.

"I will leave you to rest now my lord." Sonnillon bowed before Vergil.

Vergil waved his hand. "Thankyou. Go now. Let the generals know that I will be meeting with them in the morning. I have great plans for this place now that it is mine once more..." The dark twin turned his back to the demon, and made his way into the large room.

Sonnillon's eye's flashed a devilish shade of red, as he thought to himself, smiling. "Yes Nelo Angelo...and we have plans for you as well..."

Vergil turned suddenly to face him. "Did you say something?"

Sonnillon shook his head. "No master. I was just leaving..." The demon flapped it's large wings, and took off into the open air.

Vergil continued to eye the balcony suspeciously. "You said something demon, and I plan on discovering what it was..." Vergil yawned, and unhooked his word from his side. He laid it on a large table next to his bed, and set about removing his coat and boots. He then removed his black top and fell onto the bed. The older twin stared at the empty ceiling with a blank look on his face. "I wonder where you are right now Dante...are you in that man's arms? You should be here, in..." He shook his head. "That will never happen again, and the sooner I accept it, the better."Closing his eyes, Vergil fell into a deep sleep, unaware of the treachory surrounding him.

----------------------------------------------------------

Dante opened the large doors to the office where Yoichi was waiting for him. He peeked around the door, into the dimly lit room. "Hello? Is anyone in here?"

He saw Yoichi's chair swing around. "Dante...there you are. I was begining to wonder if you had gotten lost..."

Thinking quickly, Dante moved into the room. "Umm...no. I was just taking my time getting ready for you is all..."

Yoichi stood up, and walked seductively over to the young twin. He ran a delicate hand through Dante's white hair. "You do look amazing..." Dante breathed in deeply at the feeling of the man's hand running up and down his back.

Dante was inwardly sickened by his touch, but knew that he had a part to play. "Thanks..." He quickly moved over to the bar, breaking the contact. "Can I get a drink or something?"

As Dante turned his back to the vampire, Yoichi bit his own bottom lip hard, causing blood to rise to the surface. He ran his own tounge across his lips, as he studied Dante's form.

Dante turned to see a strange look on his host's face. "Is something wrong Yoichi?"

Yoichi smiled at him. "Of course not Dante...nothing is, when you are around..." The vampire walked to the bar, and began searching for something behind it.

Dante sat himself down at one of the barstools surrounding the small bar. "What are you looking for anyways?"

Yoichi kept looking through the cabinets. "You drank me out of your favorite black vodka, so I'm looking for a suitable replacement for someone of your quality..."

Dante rolled his eyes. "Thanks...I think..."

Yoichi popped up from behind the bar with a bottle in his hand, and a grin on his face. "I think that you will find this quite pleasing..." He poured some of the drink into a small glass and pushed it towards the demon slayer. "Try this..."

Dante sipped it and made a squirmish face. "It's good, but a little warm..."

Yoichi smiled. "I'm sorry Dante...we are out of ice..." The vampire suddenly walked over to the window, as if he had thought of something. He opened the window, and reached upwards, pulling an icicle off one of of the gutters. He closed the window, and walked back to Dante. After running it under water to wash it off, he broke off part of it, and placed it into Dante's glass. "There...that should help..."

Dante looked at him as if he was mad. "Ummm...thanks?"

Yoichi reached out, and touched his hand. "Nothing is too good for you, my love..." He watched as Dante took another sip. "How it is now?"

Dante nodded. "Much better...thankyou..."

The vampire licked his lips at the young twin. "It's called the Jewel of Russia...another very expensive vodka..."

Dante knew where the conversation was headed, and decided to change the subject. "So tell me about how to get the stone Yoichi..."

The vampire looked as if he was caught off guard. "Dante...relax. There will be plenty of time to discuss that after we have a wonderful dinner..." Yoichi walked around the bar, resting himself against Dante's back. "...wouldn't you agree?"

Dante had a terrified look on his face. "Yeah...just wonderful..."

Yoichi walked to the door, extending his hand to Dante. "Are you coming my love?"

Dante looked from side to side nervously, before slamming the rest of his drink. "Sure...coming..."

The dark haired man lead Dante a short distance, and opened another door for him. "Please...after you my pet..."

Dante looked at the man as if he were insane. "Your what?"

Yoichi smiled. "Nevermind...please...go in and look around..."

Dante smirked at the man. "After you...I don't feel like being your dinner tonight..."

Yoichi nodded and walked into the room, followed by the young twin. Dante gasped at the layout before him. A large table with a red satin tablecloth was placed int front of a roaring fireplace. Food of all different kinds adorned the table, making Dante salivate. "Where did you get all of this food? I mean, if the power is out, how the hell did you cook it?"

The vampire smiled. "Do you like it? I'm glad. I had Makishuma make this just for us. Luckily for us, he specializes in cooking over firewood, so all of the food should be delicious."

Dante grabbed his stomach, as he felt a small gurgle in it. He was so hungry, that if pizza hut was operational, he would of wiped them clean.

"You look hungry Dante...please...sit and eat..." Yoichi pulled out a chair at one end of the long table.

Dante sat down, and ripped into the chicken in front of him, pulling off the legs on the sides. He then grabbed some roasted potatoes and bread.

Yoichi sat down at the opposite end of the table, studying the young man in front of him. Dante looked up at him, just as he was biting into a chicken leg. "What?"

The vampire smiled wickedly. "You are so beautiful no matter what you are doing Dante..."

Dante cocked an eye up. "Thanks..." He promptly went back to devouring everything in front of him, until he leaned back in his chair, his stomach full.

"Have you had enough to eat?" Yoichi wiped the corner of his mouth with a red cloth napkin.

Dante let out a large yawn. "Man. I'm so damn full that I could go to sleep right now. That food was great..."

Yoichi stood. "You cannot sleep just yet. We have much to go over before you leave tommorow." The vampire walked over to where Dante was seated, and began to massage his shoulders. "Plus, you look entirely too handsome to let it go to waste..."

Dante was inwardly hating every minute of the man's touch, but tried to go along with it for information's sake. "You look great yourseelf Yoichi..."

The dark haired man walked back to his own place, and grabbed a file that had been sitting next to him. "Join me over here Dante..." He pulled a chair out from the table next to him.

Dante walked slowly to the man, and sat down. "What's that?"

Yoichi opened the file. It contained various maps and diagrams. "These are what you will need to know before departing on your adventure.

Dante scoffed. "I don't need a bunch of papers. I've got Ebony and Ivory. They are all the help I need..."

The vampire smiled deviously. "You might change your mind, after you read the documents..."

The young twin took the file hesitantly, and began to study the pictures contained in it. "What the hell are these things?" He pointed to a picture of a large six horned demon that was shooting lightning from its claws.

"That is a Moloch. It is one of several rare breeds of creature that you will encounter on your way. As you decsend lower into the caverns of the underworld, the beasts will become stronger and more powerful. These documents will teach you thier weaknesses, so that you might exploit them."

Dante cocked an eye up at another picture. He set the file down in his lap and smiled at Yoichi. "These guys don't look so damn tough. I can handle them with no problem..."

Yoichi grinned. "That may be true Dante...but it is the final keeper of the stone that you will need to loose sleep over. It is a beast so powerful, that no being has ever gotten within ten feet of it. Some say, that the creautre is in the from of a huge demonic dragon, that not only breathes fire, but ice as well."

Dante looked horrified. "Well how in the hell do you expect me to beat it then?"

Yoichi moved in closer to the young Sparda, and whispered in his ear. "You cannot do it alone...you will need my powers as well as your own."

Dante jumped out of his chair. "Woah buddy. You are NOT biting me..."

Yoichi stood, and moved closer to Dante, who was slowly backing away from him. "You don't have any choice demon slayer. The fact is, that with out my powers of teleporation, mind control, and extraordinary vision, you don not stand a chance against the beast."

Dante put his hand out in front of him, as he felt his back hit a wall. "I can kick the crap out of it with my devil trigger. I have enough problems with being a half breed, so I certainly don't need your damn vampire blood in my system as well."

Yoichi pinned Dante to the wall, staring deeply into his eyes. Dante was about to push him off, when he saw Yoichi's eyes begin to transform themselves. The black orbs became small circling whirpools, making the young twin feel paralyzed. He began to hear voices in his headm telling him to relax, and to lean his head back. Dante knew that he shouldn't but for some reason, felt like he was no longer in control of his own mind.

The vampire licked his lips, as his fangs grew longer, and sharper. He began to reach his head into the crook of Dante's soft neck. "Who knows demon, you might just like this..."

Dante hissed, as he felt Yoichi's fangs enter his skin like thick needles. His blue eyes rolled into the back of his head, as he felt a rythmic sucking on the side of his throat. His hands began to tremble, as he felt his blood being drawn from his body, and began to feel light headed.

Yoichi withdrew his mouth, and caught the young twin as he fell forward, and into his awaiting arms. He picked Dante up, and began to carry him back to his bedroom.

The vampire laid Dante down onto his bed gently, and pulled back his black tanktop. Yoichi began to run his hands up and down his prey's smooth chest. "You will be mine now Dante, fore we share the same blood. Just as you have become half vampire, you have allowed me to become a half demon."

Dante began to moan, and roll around on the bed. "Yoichi...you fucking piece of shit...I can't see..."

Yoichi put a soft hand on Dante's forehead. "Relax Dante...you eyes are just adjusting to your rebirth..."

Dante sat up, looking in the direction that he though the voice was coming from, but not quite succeding. "My what? What the hell is that suppose to mean? I was already born once. I don't think that I need to do it all over..."

Yoichi laughed. "What I meant Dante, is that you now have my vampire blood coarsing through your veins. Your sight will return momentarily, and when it does, everything will become clear..."

Dante roared out, and fell out of the bed. He scrambled across the floor, trying to locate the table that held his twin guns. Yoichi watched, as the young twin used his hands to feel his way across the carpeted floor, unable to find what he was looking for. The vampired stood, and removed Dante's guns from the table, and set them on the floor before him.

Dante smiled, as he felt the familiar grips of his girls, and stood up. "Where are you, you lying piece of shit? Make some noise...I dare you..."

Yoichi smiled, and sat back down on the bed. He watched Dante stalk around the room, listening for the slightest noise that would trip his hairpins triggers.

Yoichi reached into one of the pillows on the bed silently, and pulled out a single feather. He held it up over the floor silently, and released it from his finger tips.

As the feather floated downwards, Dante turned. He could of sworn that he could hear a soft swishing sound from behind him. He turned and pulled the hammer's of his guns back. Cocking an ear up, he heard a small thump echo from the floor, and opened fire on it.

After he stopped shooting, he heard a small laugh. "That was amazing Dante...you are much more skilled than I could of dreamed..."

Dante growled. "You're still breathing? How could I of missed?" He sank to the floor, dropping his guns in front of him. "I'm worthles now. I'm a blind half breed, with vampire blood running throughout me. This can't get any worse..."

Yoishi walked over to the young man, and sat next to him. "Dante...you didn't miss. You completely destoryed your target..."

Dante began to blink profusely as his vision started to return to him. "What are you talking about? You're still talking..."

Yoichi said nothing, as he watched Dante rub his bloodshot eyes. "You are begining to see again aren't you?"

Dante nodded. "Yeah, and when I do, you are as good as dust..."

The vampire laughed. "Do you forget, that your blood is also within me? Shooting me will no longer kill me..."

The young twin slammed his fist into the floor. "Dammit! You cheating bastard!"

"It's not cheating Dante. You have given me a wonderful gift, and I have simply returned the favour..."

Dante took a deep breath, as his vision completely returned. He looked around as if he was confused.

"What is it Dante?" Yoichi looked at him, a smile gracing his mouth.

"I can't explain it really...it just seems as though everything looks sharper. I can see details that I never could before you..."

Yoichi licked his lips. "Before I bit you...right?"

Dante nodded, holding a hand up to the brusied side of his neck. "Yeah...that..." The young Sparda turned his attention to the smoking hole in the floor. "What the hell? See? I did miss...I hit the damn floor instead of you..."

Yoichi stood up, and wlaked over to the spot. "No Dante...you shot the sound that your ears heard."

"And what was it that me ears heard?"

The vampire smirked at the white haired man who was staring at him with a look of confusion. "The sound that you heard Dante, was a single feather, hitting the carpet."

Dante looked at him smugly. "Yeah right man...no one can hear anything that inaudible..."

Yoichi reached into the pillow once more, and pulled out another feather. "Watch demon slayer..." He extended his arm, and dropped the feather once more.

Dante's eyes grew huge, as he heard the same swishing sound as the feather floated back and forth towards the ground. As the feather hit the ground, Dante jumped to his feet. "Holy shit Yoichi...I heard that...but how?"

Yoichi stood, and wrapped his arms around the young twin's waist. "You have my powers now...you have heightened vision, and hearing, as well as many other extraordinary gifts..."

Dante smiled for a brief moment. "This might not be so bad afterall..."
