A/N: Here's the parallel drabbles set to Sin. Here Lady ends up with someone different. :P I'm happier with how these turned out because I didn't expect them to be dark in the first place. Enjoy!

Chastity

She knew he wanted her.

His eyes, which had been so serious and cold during their battle, had warmed to something much more agreeable.

He leaned in to kiss her, but when Lady turned away from his advances, Dante didn't force himself on her and casually backed away.

Moderation

She was surprised when she got home for dinner and found soup and salad on the table.

He said he had wanted to try something new, but she caught the longing looks he gave an empty pizza box on the counter.

Lady was touched that he was giving up his addiction for her.

Generosity

She knew Dante was the one who had really saved the day. There was no way she could have taken out all those demons by herself.

But when he thanked Lady for her help, and sang her praises till they left the client's home, she couldn't help but feel happy for being appreciated.

Zeal

Lady stopped to rest.

They'd been stuck in the haunted mansion for almost a day, and there was no end in sight. She was exhausted, cold, hungry, and wanted to go home.

"Hey babe, isn't this great? This is what I live for!" Dante shouted as he decimated a group of demons with gusto.

"Yeah, what fun," Lady said sarcastically. But she hefted her Kalina Ann again and rejoined the fight.

Kindness

She beat against his chest as she cursed her father's betrayal, her mother's murder, and demons in general. And even though he was part demon himself, Dante held her close as she cried her eyes out.

Love

She couldn't understand it.

Dante was always such a horn dog, flirting with her shamelessly and always trying to get into her pants.

So it was a wonder that when she finally did let him in, he was tender and considerate in his lovemaking.

Humility

He was a skilled warrior, powerful, extremely handsome, street-smart, easy-going, and charming.

He could take a freaking sword through the chest and shrug it off like it was nothing.

So Lady couldn't believe it when he kissed her and asked, "what would I do without you?"
