[A/N] Me: Yeaaaaah, so for all of you who happen to read DMC:Battle for Heaven (my Verg fanfic) I apologize for it taking so long but my computer randomly decided to delete a few of my word documents including 3 of my stories…*stands up and smashes the screen in then takes out spare laptop and continues typing*
Dante: Woah, glad I'm not your computer. O.o
Me: Oh I would never hit you with a giant mallet!...But I will use this giant hammer to avenge MY strawberry sundae that YOU ate.
Dante: B-but that's basically the same thing! *uses devil speed to jump over the couch and dash out the door* Remember to review!
[Note: I did skim over this chapter, but I went a bit fast so kno there may be some typos n stuff…]

Chapter 4: Realizations
You ran though the forest at top speed. "Vergil!" You panted pausing to look around. Everything looked the same in the night. You had never ventured this far into the forest and you swore you could see inhuman looking creatures lurking in the shadows around you, but they always vanished before you could be sure.
"Vergil!" You called becoming increasingly desperate 'Where could he be? He couldn't have vanished! T-they couldn't have taken him!' "Verg-"
You spun around and screamed when you saw a twisted figure in tattered robes stare at you with big golden eyes. It seemed to hiss and charge forward. You backed up into a tree. "N-no get away!" You yelled. With a swipe of your hand the demon was sent flying to the side and into a tree.
The necklace that fell resting on you chest turned black and you took off again in the opposite direction you'd thrown the demon.
You were panting and looking around frantically as you backed up. You felt something grab your shoulder and screamed. A hand quickly covered your mouth and you were pulled back.
"Be quite!" You heard a familiar voice say in a rushed whisper. You continued to thrash until you were released. You spun around to see a child version of Dante staring in your direction. He wasn't looking directly at you though; he quickly grabbed your wrist and pulled you against him as he stepped out of the small amount of light the moon gave and further into the shadows.
You looked over your shoulder and saw more demons had come and they seemed to be looking for something.
Dante turned rushing off, careful not to step on anything that could make even the slightest sound and give you both away. You stared back as the demons let out frustrated screeches and growls before taking off in random directions.
"I'm sorry." You said as Dante pulled you behind a large tree so you could catch your breath.
"It's not your fault I'm out of breath to." Dante said softly as he glanced in every direction.
"N-no." You sniffled. "This is all my fault! I-I had just wanted to practice like you and Vergil and I used my powers and they followed it here!"
Dante firmly grasped your shoulders. "It's not you fault! You were going to have to use them sooner or later and no one knew they could feel it so far off! I'm sure if Vergil was here he'd agree to!"
He heard a low growl a few yards to his right. "Come on, we'll be fine! We'll find Vergil and everything will be fine!" He stated firmly.
Those words comforted you if only a little…
…But that didn't mean you thought he was right.
'We can't possibly make it out of here all right!' You thought as you and Dante continued to run through the seemingly endless forest. 'They're going to catch up to us! They're going to kill us…unless.'
You looked up at Dante though you couldn't see his face since he was a step or two ahead. You shook your head. You'd caused Vergil and Eva's death, you were not going to cause Dante's as well.
You pulled your hand out of his grasp and he stopped looking back at you. "Kirie-"
"Dante, listen to me, we can't keep running like this they already have our scent and they're going to keep following us unless someone can distract them!"
Dante shook his head not wanting to figure out where you were going with that statement. He reached for you but you stepped back.
"Dante you have to keep going, I'll lead them away!" You said feeling something warm start to run down your face. You wiped the tears away and saw the fearful look in his eyes.
"W-what n-no!" He protested. "Come on you don't…we'll be fine! I'll protect you and we can find Vergil!"
You walked over to him and wrapped your arms tightly around him for what could very well be the last time. He returned the hug and a loud snap to your right alerted you both.
"Come on!" He said looking in that direction.
You nodded. "I'll be right behind you."
He looked unsure but rushed off. You followed him for a few feet then stopped and watched his small form disappear into the night. You took in sharp breaths and closed your eyes concentrating. You could feel the demons near you closing in. You concentrated and felt you necklace turn ice cold. Seconds later a large burst of power forced out of you effectively catching the attention on all the demons around.
You opened you eyes and found yourself surrounded in seconds. "I won't let you hurt him." You said looking around at all the twisted faces.
You saw an opening and took off the demons were literally a few feet behind you and your legs were already tired, your lungs burned and branches stabbed into your arms and legs threatening to trip you and end your life.
After running for what felt like forever a large building came into view. Your eyes widened and you made a sharp turn sparing a moment's glance at the mansion that was now on fire.
"Eva." You mouthed. But it didn't matter she was gone even before the fire. This only served to enrage you. You glanced back and saw all the monsters still chasing you. You wanted them to pay; you wanted all of them to feel the same torture they cause. You slowed your run as you felt the power build inside of you. You turned to face them. Another huge burst of power erupted, even stronger than the last one.
"You want to open the gates to hell?" You yelled glaring at them. "Fine!"
Your necklace glowed bright silver and you felt a strong pressure on every side. Your vision went black but you were well aware of what was happening. You heard the demons roar and a loud sound like thunder.
You felt yourself being shaken and bolted up with a startled gasp. You were in a dark room and it took a few seconds for you to realize it was in fact your bed room. You could faintly make out Dante's silhouette sitting on the side of your bed.
You leaned forward wrapping your arms around him. These dreams-no, memories where all coming back and you were starting to regret ever wishing you could remember more of your past. You still couldn't understand why they would start coming back now. You'd always had small parts of memories triggered, like when you were first introduced to the curious twins; but those were only harmless pieces instead of the vivid nightmares that started to plague your mind.
This dream had left you even more shaken than the previous one. You could feel the darkness enveloping you, making it hard to breathe as it isolated you from the rest of the world. Then it felt like something was pulling you down and no matter what you did, you couldn't break free of its hold.
Dante wrapped his own arms around you and pulled you close. You had a feeling he knew exactly what it was you'd dreamed of that time.
You buried your face into his chest and tried to stop shaking. The images were still fresh and running through your mind. How could you have forgotten all of that? You could faintly hear him trying to comfort you, but you couldn't focus on what he was saying. You'd just then realized your necklace was glowing a soft golden color. After a few minutes you'd managed to calm down but didn't loosen your grip on him.
'Was that how I got my soul torn in half? Did I really open the gate? But then, how would I have closed it? Wouldn't that have released more devils?' You let out a shaky breath trying to push those questions away for now.
"Hey."
You pulled back and looked up at Dante's slightly worried expression. "Are you okay?"
You nodded an pulled back completely releasing him. "Yeah I'm fine…Sorry that must've been really weird." You mumbled.
Dante looked like he wanted to say something but stopped himself. He gave you a small smirk. "At least I wasn't sent flying into a wall this time."
You felt your lips twitch into a small smile. "I could change that if you want."
"No thanks babe, I think I'd rather not pay for a new wall." He replied.
"I agree, there are better things to do with that money."
"Like another pool table." Dante muttered more to himself.
"No, I was thinking more like food since unlike you I cannot see myself eating only pizza for the rest of my life. Besides, you're the one who thought it'd be a good idea to cut it in half and use it to fight demons."
He shrugged and climbed into the bed next to you. "Well you should probably try to get some decent amount of sleep." He said pulling you back with him.
You blushed. "In that case, shouldn't you be going back to your room?"
He smirked and pulled you against him so your faces were a few centimeters apart. "Well if you don't want to go to sleep I could think of a number of other things we could do."
"I-I wasn't opposed to sleeping I was opposed to the idea of you staying here!" You said. You were thankful it was dark because your face turned crimson.
"But how would I keep you from getting nightmares if I left?"
You couldn't think of a way to argue with that. "I guess you're right."
He chuckled and leaned forward pressing his lips to yours. Your face turned fifty shades darker and again, was thankful for the lack of light. You let your eyes drift close as you leaned forward and ran your hands through his silky hair. You felt his smirk widen and he trailed his tong along your bottom lip. You slowly parted your lips and he slid his tong into your mouth. You moaned softly and he shifted so he was on top of you. He ran his fingers down your side and you suppressed a shudder. He pushed his hand up your shirt and trailed kisses down your jaw line and to your neck. You let out another moan as he started to suck on the sensitive flesh.
So much for getting some sleep…

[A/N] Me: Sooo, if I remember correctly I said that DMC 1 madness was supposed to start, but sadly that chapter got deleted when my computer cut off, so I decided that instead of frustrating myself (for having to re-write it all) and you guys (for having to wait longer) I'd just do us all a favore and throw in a short lime. Srry I couldn't make this any longer but in a house with random nosey brothers and cats that lay on my keyboard and erase entire pages of stuff, I had to end there.
Vergil: SEE! I KNEW I should've thrown your pitiful kitteh into the pits of hell!
Me: Eh, Verg you got problems. Well any who, to everyone that's only favoriting and not reviewing: Come ooooon! A little "nice chapter" or something wouldn't hurt right? Hard to keep track of how many ppl still read this without reviews…FIRST ONE THAT HITS THE REVIEW BUTTON GETS TO MARRY ONE OR BOTH (le gasp! ;D) OF THE TWINS!
Vergil: I wonder if this is a form of sexual harassment….
