" Damn him... foolish brother of mine!... and that woman...Nikkita..." he stopped pacing " hmm... I'll deal with her in due time.."

"Master..." a mousey man spoke

"...what?"

"Master, there are men here to see you."

"...and?"

"They would like to have a word with you."

"What do they want..?"

"I... I don't know..."

"Well find out what it is they want..."

"But master..."

"... i asked once... i will not ask again..."

He turned away from the man and stared dully out the window. Rain pelted against the glass and rumbles of thunder shook the panes. He thought about what had happened in the cave and it made him sick. He had been so closed to dealing with his brother and he was unable to. No one had ever gotten in his way when it came to his brother, especially no woman. The whole ordeal made him sick.

"...master...?"

"yes, what do they want...?"

"Temen-ni-gru..." a strange voice spoke

Vergil put a hand on his katana and turned around. He met the stranger's eyes. The man was tall and lanky his eyes were dark and cold and his voice sharp.

"What do you want with Temen-ni-gru?" Vergil's voice was almost as sharp as his katana blade.

"Vergil, you know what i want. I am tired of this unorganized world. I want complete power!" his voice cracked

Vergil paced infront of the man eyeing him up, then he spoke with deadly accuracy.

"I brought Temen-ni-gru into exsistance once, i opened the threshhold between this world and the other... and i paid DEARLY for it! You do not understand what you are dealing with, it is beyond your comprehension..."

"I have studied the writing on Temen-ni-gru... i know.."

"you have no idea! You do not know what you would unleash with that structure. Mere mortal, what makes you think you are so important that i should let you control the terrors of hell!"

"You will tell me how to raise it, or i will find out myself."

With that several more men entered the room and closed the door behind them. Their weapons shown behind their coats.

"Now, you will tell me how to raise Temen-ni-gru."

"You dare cross a demon... you dare threaten me! Do you have a deathwish?" Vergil stopped and looked at the man who had entered first.

"There is no possible way you can control Temen-ni-gru. And to break the barrier on the portal you need my blood AND my brother's... and somehow i don't see you getting either... but here... if you want it so badly..."

Vergil took a book off one of the many shelves and threw it on his desk, but before the strange man could grab it, he had stuck the tip of his sword through the cover. The man looked at Vergil his eyes burning with greed.

"I know you better than that Vergil." and with the the man suddenly drew his own sword and stabbed all the way through his ribcage. Vergil heard a crack and growled at the breaking of his own ribs.

"Damn you!"

He reached for his katana but was kicked from the sword that pierced him. He tried to pull himself up but the man kicked him in his already fractured ribs.

"Stay down Vergil. Its safer for you..."

Vergil's vision blurred but before he passed out he saw the man grab the book, then the group of strange men proceeded to leave. The mousey looking man came running back in moments later after being scared off by the gang of strangers.

"...Master... master..." his voice shook.
