"Nero, what's that thing?" Rosey turned her head looking at the television and seeing a large fish.

"That's a Shark, it's called Jaws," Nero said not looking away from the TV, Nero was now 8 and taking responsibility for him and Rosey and thanks to Vergil being a strict parent she knew how to say full sentences just her words weren't always correct. Partially because Dante talked to her like anyone else except a lot more kinder since both her and Nero where still very young and related to him. Nero saw a woman in very revealing clothes and covered his cousins eyes. Once the scene passed he let go, Vergil and Dante walked into the shop absolutely soaked. It was then the two could barely tell which one was their Dad and it confused them until Vergil pushed his hair back.

"Hi Dad,"

"Hey Pumpkin, what are you two watching?" He said talking off his coat and walking towards the couch, they made room for him.

"Sharks," he raised an eyebrow and noticed it was jaws.

"No idea they still showed this on TV," he said as he wrapped an arm around Rosey who sat close to her Dad. Nero now was wondering what Dante meant seeing as this was the 5th time it's shown today. Vergil took his usual spot on the recliner he bought and read the newspaper. They sat in silence as the rain outside started to get worse and thunder rumbled the whole building the reason Dante held Rosey close was because she was afraid of thunderstorms. Nero was fond of them and walked over to the window to watch the lightning hit the tops of buildings nearby or stream across the sky. Rosey held tight to her fathers t-shirt, she was absolutely terrified as the thunder got louder and more close. Dante gave Vergil to look up on the roof again, who nodded and walked back outside. He found shooting lighting at the top of a house. "Can you please stop giving Rosey a heart attack?" Vergil teleported behind her, he was unamused but he and Dante knew it was her from the start. She gave a little chuckle, and stopped but the thunder still was rolling far away. "Thought Dante would appreciate the attention," she started down the roof and towards the front door when Vergil stopped her violently grabbing her arm. "Make her suffer like that again and I will personally make sure you go back to hell without a final paycheck." His voice turned cold and merciless. "Jesus, sorry.. trying to have some fun since no sign of demon activity for 4 weeks. I have to do something to keep adrenaline rushing through my head." She said as Vergil let go she never seen him get this defensive. Everyone swore that he didn't care about anything but revenge and power. Seeing him get this upset was beyond surprising but she got over it quickly and climbed down to the front door and walked in, headlights where closing in behind her and as she opened the door she heard a motorcycle coming to the shop. "Ladies here to most likely collect your money, better hide it now," Trish called out to Dante who only groaned in response. Vergil who teleported into the house at the top of the stairs, he only rolled his eyes as he too didn't enjoy Lady's visits. She came in with her helmet still on her head, She looked at Dante directly then to Vergil.

"Hey boys, got some jobs for you two." Lady said as she walked further in letting the door close behind her as she let herself dry off. she then cast her gaze to Rosey, she was just letting go of her dad. "If you guys are up for it me and Trish could probably watch the kids while you two go on this job." Lady suggested. "After what Trish just pulled, Rosey's better coming with us," Dante said taking his arm off his daughters back. Rosey was still clinging to her fathers coat while Vergil had returned to his reading. Then Dante get the idea,

"Does this place have a kids area we can drop off Rosey and Nero at while we work?"

"Yeah? Why plan on actually showing your kids what you do for a living."

"Maybe not Rosey so much, but Nero's getting to that age."

"Are you implying that we take my son with us on this job?"

"Not just Nero, Rosey too. So what is the place?"

"Bowling alley, the place has an arcade too if Rosey gets bored."

"Then it's settled, we'll lock up shop and take them with us."

"Dante that's reckless!"

"You rather him and her not know what to do if they happen to end up in our situation?" Dead silence hit the room when Dante let go of his final winning statement. Vergil then signaled the two to get dresse and they scuttled up the stairs, Dante and Vergil never spoke like that to each other ever again. It hurt Dante to say it as much as it did for Vergil to hear it, but it was their drive to be demon hunters. Though Dante did grab a small weapon from the closet. "It's about time you gave this to him, we gained our weapons by thst age too." Dante handed the specially made sword to Vergil. "... You help me train him, and when Rosey comes of age i'll help you with her," Vergil gripped The sword as Nero and Rosey came downstairs. "Nero, come here for a second... I have something for you." Vergil stated and his son walked over to him to see and to his surprise Vergil took out a small broad sword from it's sheath. The set down the sword and put the sheath around his son and handed his son the sword ceremoniously. "Your now on your road to being a man my son, that sword is your first steps. While it isn't a Devil arm like Yamato or Rebellion, it is a weapon still." Nero held the sword with wide eyes and nodded to his father and sheathed his new sword. Rosey looked to her Dad and wondered if the same would be done when she turned 8 years old.

—Devil May Cry—

At th bowling alley Nero joined his father and Dante in demon hunting while Rosey ran off to the arcade and she was far from dissatisfied. Every arcade type imaginable was there, and there was a row of 4 racing arcade machines though She was to short to reach the pedals just yet. She did find several she could bring a chair over to and start playing. This one was a fighter game called Mortal Kombat, For a normal 4 year old this game would give them nightmares but to her it was nothing. She selected a character the game called Reptile, and beat the whole arcade in an hour. Once she pulled away from the game she heard a gun shot and wondered what was going on but hid when she saw a mob of people running away from the scene she curled up in the arcade machine for The Walking Dead. In fear she curled up seeing all those people and when she looked up the game gave a image of a Zombie coming right for the player and covering her eyes she ran out into the danger of the scene. A Scarecrow demon had seen a person who didn't run away with the rest and saw it's opportunity for blood lust and advanced. Dante was held against the wall by another demon and couldn't get to his daughter in time and as his eyes widened fearing the worst his brother sliced the demon into 4 pieces turning back into the dust in which it came. Nero having had gotten his first 5 demon kills in ran to his cousin's side and lead her back to the car and away from danger. She had a look of pure fear in her eyes as Nero put her in her car seat and buckled her in. "Stay here, we'll be back very soon." Nero said as he ran back into the bowling alley to help his father and uncle. Inside Dante had managed to get down from the wall and got in more kills using Ebony and Ivory while Vergil only used Yamato out of his distaste for guns. After a few minutes they had killed the final enemies and Dante ran out towards the car to comfort his daughter he too needed comfort. "Vergil was right this was too dangerous for her to be near" Dante thought to himself as he held his daughter very close in his arms. Vergil then walked outside with Nero after having had talked to the owner and they gained their money, he then patted his brother's back. "As much I want to say it I won't… next time even if Trish acts like that again which I promise she won't. We leave here at home." He said as he put Rosey in her car seat again and buckled her in. Nero got in the back right next to her and was helping her calm down while Dante got in the front and started the car. They drove home but before that Dante stopped and got them all Chinese food, it was better than pizza all the time and it was one of Rosey's favorite comfort foods.
