Author's note: I'm sorry this one took so long, but my hard drive on my laptop crashed taking with it all of my already written of Chapter Three and such, and the ending which I loved to death. So I was in a period of mourning, but now I am back, and I shall try to write more and keep updating, for I have an idea for another DMC fic, but I have to finish this one before I start on that one. So here it is and enjoy!

Chapter Three

"Wow we're up high!" Rose exclaimed as she looked over the edge of Temen-Ni-Gru.

"What would happen," Rayne spoke, creeping up behind her, "if someone was to push you over?"

Rose squealed and fell forwards…off the building. Rayne reacted immediately diving for Rose's hand, but just as she grasped her fingers, Rose's hand slipped out of her grasp. Rayne lay on her stomach, looking down as Rose fell towards the ground at breakneck speed and still had her hand outreached. With tears in her eyes, she let out a loud wail. "Nooooo!"

On a Balcony

Dante walked towards the edge and listened to old rock crunching under his boots. His snow white hair dropped over in front of his deep blue eyes as they surveyed the air in front of him. He looked up and was surprised to see a young woman falling at him seemingly at peace with her death. But before she could drop by, his arm shot out and grabbed her ankle. 'Why does this seem so familiar? Oh yes, I was shot in the head last time I did this…'

"Well then," he said smirking down at the girl who was looking up him in surprise, "ladies just can't seem to stop falling for me."

"Why I appreciate your-" the girl began, but was cut off by a thundering of footsteps behind them.

"ROSE YOU IDIOT! You can solve the Trial of Wisdom, but you fall OFF THE SIDE OF A BUILDING!" Rayne yelled at her, scared out of her wits.

Rose grinned up at her bashfully from where she was hanging upside down, "Sorry Rayne…but you shouldn't have scared me."

"You should be more," Rayne began before she noticed Rose was hanging upside down, being held up by a man. "Oh, you can just put her down now," she said dismissively at him.

"You mean like this?" he spoke with a smirk, letting go of Rose's ankle's some.

"No! She means, by putting me safely on the ground…please?" Rose spoke up from where she was hanging, scared to death that he was going to drop her.

"Fine, wouldn't want a pretty lady like you to end up as a splat," he said smirking as she tumbled on to her butt as he launched her into the air so she'd land on safe ground.

"So," the man spoke, walking towards them as Rose stood up and began dusting off her behind, "what would be the names of you too lovely ladies?"

"What's it to you, Pretty Boy," Rayne said, raising an eyebrow at him.

He just gave them both a look over, smirking as Rose blushed under his gaze and began to tug at her shorts, wishing they were longer. Rayne just raised up her chin some and leveled her gaze at him, daring him to make a move.

"Hey," the man spoke, raising his hands, "I just love to learn the names of those who are almost as good looking as I am."

"You know, he's like the snow white-ish hair dude from before," Rose spoke up, circling him, "he even looks like him!"

Dante whirled around at her, "Who was this man? What did he look like? Where did he go!"

"Hey buddy, lay off Rose, she didn't do anything to you. Besides," here Rayne smirked, "unless you tell us who you are, why should be help you?"

With a growl he whipped his blades out and at her. With a clang they were stopped as two blades met his, sending off sparks. "Because I can kill you."

As he swung again, Rayne twisted her body and blocked the two blades, swinging hers at him now. "What is up with people trying to kill me today!"

"Maybe they think you're an annoying brat," the man said, clenching his teeth as he began the attack again.

"Wait, are we talking about you or me now?" Rayne grunted out, as they began to battle.

While the two fought each other, moving their twin blades fast enough they were becoming blurs, Rose stood to the side. She watched as they fought like the crazy fools they are. They shouted insults at each other like immature brats and children, but she said nothing not wanting them to turn their fury on her. As she was sitting there, occasionally moving so that they wouldn't hit her, a white rose floated down and landed right in front of her. Bending over she picked it up, reading the slip on the side, "A rose for a Rose."

"Let's play nicely kids," a cackling voice said.

Rose's head shot up at the voice and she saw a Jester in black, blue, and purple colors. He was grinning down at them from the ceiling he was hanging on and the look-alike man groaned and took out his guns. "What do you want know you insane Jester?"

"Now, now, is that how you treat your new help?" he said, smirking as he disappeared and reappeared in front of Rayne.

"This is what I do when annoying people are around me," Dante replied, shooting at the Jester's feet.

As the Jester dance away from the bullets, he protested, "Don't want any help then? Fine…I shan't tell you where your beloved Vergil went then."

'Vergil's his name? Hm...' Rose's thoughts were reflecting, but outwardly she said, "Hey, stop shooting at him." Now she addressed the Jester, "So where did he go?"

But the Jester had already disappeared, leaving behind three confused people, two with adrenaline pumping through their veins and one with a reflective face.

He shook his white hair out of his piercing pale blue eyes. His blue coat swirled around his legs as a wind blew up and blew away. He ran a gloved hand through his hair, making it stand up. As he watched the three below him, his focus was almost solely on the shortest one. With a slight change of expression, that almost was invisible, he turned around and walked back into the tower, gripping the katana in his hand a bit tighter. 'We shall meet soon…' he vowed to himself.

"Well Ladies, it's been fun, but I'm afraid I must leave you," Dante said giving a bow to the ladies.

For the last couple minutes they had exchanged names and were discussing their next course of action. But Dante seemed to be a lone ranger and he soon wanted to be on his way. So as he said his leave, he jumped off the side of the building, diving down towards the ground.

"Oh my gosh!" Rose screamed as she ran towards the edge to see him swallowed up.

"That idiot…" Rayne muttered under her breathe before she spoke louder, "Well…lets go, can't let him face Hell by himself can we?"

Before Rose could say anything, Rayne had grabbed her arm and she dove off the side like the way Dante had…except this time they were screaming their heads off clinging to each other as they saw a giant mouth open…and soon they were swallowed up in a giant, flying fish.

(Now Rayne's POV)

"Ew!" Rose yelled the squishy intestines of the fish making a disgusting squishy noise as she jumped off the ground, trying to get away from it…only to land on it for what goes up must come down.

I crouched down, poking the nasty junk, muttering, "ew…" poke, "ew…" poke. I repeated this in morbid fascination as the fish swam around in the air.

"Stop that already!" Rose yelled, grossed out to the max. Her face was really pale and she looked like she would be sick soon.

I grinned suspiciously and putting a hand behind my back I grabbed a handful of the goop and quickly lodged it at her. When it hit her surprised face and slid down, I laughed my head off not noticing what she was doing as retribution. Soon the sticky, slimy, nasty stuff was in my hair and I squealed. She was smirking at me, and I soon got my revenge. We got involved with our war and didn't notice that the fish was beginning to sink till it plunged into a headlong dive. We abandoned our war clutched at each other like terrified people facing Godzilla and squealed like the girls we were.

With a thump we landed, flying into the air and landing in a heap, our limbs tangled up. Groaning I sat up, holding my head from the impact. I stood up and heaved Rose up next to me. "Well, we should set off to get out of here and meet up with Dante again shouldn't we?"

Ending
