xxxAt Devil May Cryxxx

Patty was hyper since (apparently) a decent girl would finally show up. Thank goodness she was all alone, so none of Dante's boldness or any of the girl's stern looks could make the girl give the job up, since these days it was hard to find a decent maid.

Then, out of the blue and as if on cue the doorbell rang and Patty ran to get the door. As soon as she opened the front door she could not be any happier: there she saw Anne, who smiled sheepishly and greeted her by extending her hand and politely introducing herself.

"Hello, nice to meet you, could I please talk to Miss Patty?"

"That's myself.", please follow me...let me show you around!

From the moment Patty saw Anne at the doorway she knew it, it was her, the perfect maid.

"So Miss Anne, I am often around, but you see two men live here and you know that men often make things…messy around the house. Apart from them, three girls often show up, maybe other visitors, but that's quite rare…"

Then Patty continued, "So this is an office as you can see, the two male residents here work, how can I put it, in an alternative jobs, then they may arrive anytime, so you mainly have to clean and have real food always ready. Dante who is gonna be your "boss", so to speak, is really messy, then you need to clean everything up first so it may be a healthy decent house to live at. Well here is the bathroom, climbing up the stairs on your left is Dante's room, followed by two other spare rooms which by the way, desperately need cleaning...There at the far end is Vergil's room and then another room over there where the girls usually sleep over. There's the laundry room, but you will see it later today, cause now we're going to have some tea and cookies!"

After enjoying some tea and cookies, both girls continue talking (Anne still a bit uncomfortable as the younger girl was way too bubbly). Anne asked some questions about Dante and Vergil, eventually finding out they were twin brothers, and that their parents died a long time ago, just like her own parents, she thought. After a lot of talking and showing around, they settled her wages and schedule. She had already been chosen for the job as Patty honestly didn't have any more decent candidates to consider. Patty had a good feeling about Anne. She was calm, composed, seemed polite enough and clueless regarding demons and all that. Anne was given her uniform and got to see everything that needed to be done – would she ever have what to clean in that place!

Although it seemed like a challenge she was not the one to give up easily.

"You're barely trying, Dante."

"Calm down bro, If it's too fast it's no fun, just like sex..."

"Coarse.", Vergil snorted, annoyingly.

"Can't help it.", laughed Dante. "Deep down inside you're the same Verge, just wandering around quietly, choosing a nice ass to shove your di..."

Vergil didn't even reply to such profanities.

"Come on dear brother, I know you want to screw as much as I do, you're just discreet, that's all...", Dante said while putting his arm on his older brother's shoulder, trying to that is.

Vergil just gave him the death glare.

Anne was already halfway through that mess of a house, since Patty went grocery shopping, she was feeling more comfortable now that she was home alone. Being alone and in silence allowed her to focus on her tasks at hand. Chatting was nice but when she had so many tasks to accomplish it became quite a challenge to keep up. She caught herself wondering what her bosses looked like since Patty told her all about the girl flirting stuff and other weird episodes involving this man named Dante.

Apparently her boss was some big shot in town that was constantly busy with undesirable jobs, although she was unsure of what that meant altogether. She wasn't' the one to pry into people's lives, for one she didn't really like gossiping about people's lives. She knew working at people's houses could get challenging, especially when gossip was involved. Apparently her boss was not married, but had "girl's over often". She was unsure of what that meant exactly, but her mind could not help it but take it to weird thoughts...

She then decided to shrug it off, and climb the stairs up to start cleaning the upper floor, which she found to be if not the same, but even dirtier in comparison to what she had already been through. It would be no use wondering about people's personal lives. It didn't matter. She was there to provide a service and get paid for it. She just hoped her "boss" wasn't some weird creeper, that would be bad.

"Here we go, Master Dante's room", she sighed before entering the dark room filled with all kinds of empty food boxes she could ever imagine. Apart from that, the room had light colored walls that desperately needed a new coat of paint, a window at the far end of the not so big room, a gigantic king sized bed and lots of blankets spread all over the place. She could taste the dirt in the room. It was a mix of sweat, decomposing food and cheap perfume.

Anne crouched to take one of the dark blankets from the floor and it was when she spotted some strange white stains on it. "Oh my God!, I'd better hurry and wash these.", she said trying not to think of what those stains would really be, even though she had a pretty good idea of what they truly were.

Then she decided to take every piece of clothing that was on the floor, boxers, t-shirts, stained blankets, all sorts of fabric items that were over the bed. SHe also did the same to whatever she found at the bathroom as well. She would have a ton of clothes to wash and dry but thankfully there seemed to be a dryer and washer in the laundry room. Hopefully they were in good working condition, otherwise she would be in trouble hauling all that to some coin laundry.

The bathroom was as messy as the room itself was. The ceiling fan was just a hole, there was mildew everywhere, the walls had humidity striking down. She had to remove all that green stuff that seemed to be all over the bathtub as well as every corner of the walls, she had to clean the big mirror (yes, Dante had a huge wall mirror, the one every girl dreams to have), and the worst part...she had to clean the toilet, that now had all kinds of dirt covering it. She wasn't sure if he used the inside or the outside of the toilet, or if the toilet was just old and abused altogether.

"He may be handsome and all as Patty said, but surely has no notion of direction...or maybe a dysfunctional D...how can someone pee all over the place like this?!"

She then decided to start with the bathtub, which was the easiest to clean at that instant…

Yep, that house sure was a challenge to her sanity.

"Finally home, if those demons were simply less annoying we could have finished the job more than 3 hours ago...", said a dirty and sweaty Dante, "At least the money made it worth it."

"If you did what you're supposed to do without being your conceited self, and focus on technique rather than bickering, it would have been an easy job. I could've handled them on my own."

"And what would be the fun of it dear bro, the best part is to work beside your beloved brother after all these years!", Dante replied playfully.

"I won't waste my words on you. Now, if you excuse me I have other matters to attend to.", Vergil said, excusing himself from the room.

"So do I, Verge, so do I", thought Dante heading to his own bedroom. He was covered in strange substances and was sweaty as hell, with all his silver hair clinging to his face. Arriving at his room wearing his birthday suit, he went straight to his bathroom to take a relaxing bath. It was when all of a sudden he saw nothing less than a girl sitting on his floor, back facing him scratching his tub away.

"Whoa, didn't know I had a babe waiting for me!"

As Anne heard that voice she automatically turned around just to see an specific part of male's anatomy that surely was the last part she wanted to see. As her eyes traveled north she noticed a defined six pack, strong thighs and a muscular chest. She was blushing profusely, so she quickly rose from the floor unable to look that man in the eye. She quickly excused herself and tried to leave as soon as she possibly could.

"What's the hurry, don't you wanna take a bath with me babe? It will be fun, I promise", Dante said, eyeing the girl from head to toe and already imagining all what they could do together in his room. He was obviously only messing with her though. No matter how tired he would be or how strange a situation could get he would always be his playful self.

"Sorry, Sir, I didn't mean to take away your privacy, I'll finish cleaning when you no longer wish to use the bathroom. I'm really sorry.", she said almost running out of the room, as Dante thought to himself "What a hottie, wonder why she didn't want to stay, but don't worry you won't be this shy next time, I'll make sure of that...".

Lady and Trish sat by Dante's desk idle talking when they suddenly saw a girl wearing a navy blue dress that resembled some sort of uniform descending the stairs. Quickly figuring she would be the new maid, both girls laughed quietly not to embarrass the girl any further. She was tomato red from blushing.

"So you must have already been introduced to Dante, huh?"

"Umn, yes I already talked to him, miss", answered the girl nervously. For some reason those women made her feel uneasy for some reason. Their presence made the atmosphere thick. Their clothes, their little giggles and looks made her even more uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, he'll only get worse, he's a jerk sometimes, like he's always on Viagra or something.", replied Trish eyeing the girl and noticing Dante would be too eager to get to know her better.

"Ahh I'd better go and resume cleaning", she said as she saw no one other than Dante clad only in some pants and drying his hair with a towel approaching the room. There were no more shades of red available for her to sport on her face.

"Hey what's the hurry, hun?", he said only to hear Anne's excuse.

"I'd better go, excuse me.", she said before lowering her face and soon disappearing into the big mess that shop was.

"Oh Dante come on you already scared the poor thing on the very first day, is this the way you want to have a maid around here?"

"Scared, bullshit, she only got impressed by my size that's for sure!"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, she was in my bathroom, then I naturally entered to take a bath, and since all of us don't take showers wearing clothes, I believe she did get a great view of all that I've got, bet she got impressed, that's all."

"Gosh, now she will be scarred for life", retorted Lady.

"Nah, sure she wants to get a good feel of it..."

"Shut it perv."

"You wanna see it too?"

Next thing Dante got a good feel was a bullet colliding on his temple.
