A/N: I love how this is going right now, cause I can totally see Vergil be a take it slow kind of guy, how about you guys? What do you think? Also I'm just really excited to go get McDonalds after this, I shouldn't be but I've just wanted those fries since last night…

Discliamer: I've been typing so much tonight that I can't even type the word disclaimer correctly…

Greetings

Vergil ceased in the motions of his sword, turning to look at Amelia, wondering why she had opened the door to begin with, he'd heard her greeting and then the smell of ta different person washed over him and he knew, even before she spoke. He sighed, it could hardly be helped, it was only a matter of time before other's found out that he was here and he was so far from where he'd battled with Dante that it likely would never reach the other half devil's ears but all the same, he'd have to be careful what he said, he just hoped that Amelia hadn't said too much already.

"We have a guest." she said as he sheathed Yamato, unable to slide it back into its' pocket dimension where it resided when he was human before another set of very curious eyes peeked around Amelia. The other woman was more sturdily set, with round cheeks and warm brown eyes, she waved and Vergil walked up to the sliding door. He offered his hand

"Hello." he said, "I apologize for my state, I didn't know that Amelia would be bringing friends home." the other woman blushed heavily and looked to her friend before taking his hand.

"Hello, it's fine, I kind of invited myself over, you have nothing to apologize for, my name's Ashley." she said in a bit of a rush. Vergil smiled politely.

"Vergil." he said and then he looked to Amelia

"If you don't mind, I'll go clean myself up before we eat, the soup should be done in about a half an hour, it's a good thing that I made as much as I did." he navigated to the bathroom then, the bedroom door closing behind him. Amelia sighed, he didn't seem mad, though the half devil was very hard to read most of the time and it frustrated her to no end. Her friend let out a very different kind of sigh as Vergil exited the room.

"You didn't say that he was dashingly handsome and a cook to boot! Jeez girl… I'm amazed that you haven't been begging him to ask you for your hand already!" Amelia rolled her eyes.

"It's not like that, besides he's only staying here. We're not…" she struggled to find the right words. Her friend scoffed

"Yeah right, you don't look so dreamy eyed after someone that you're not interested in." she said and Amelia blushed.

"We may have… kissed a couple times." her friend grinned deviously

"There you go, that's a start." Amelia blushed furiously and went to the cupboard, pulling out a loaf of bread.

"C'mon, help me get the rest of dinner ready." she said, pulling out a bread knife and starting slicing. Ashley laughed and went to get the kettle, filling it with water and setting it on the stove near the soup.

"So what's with the white hair? He's not from around here is he?" she asked, seeming to grow more curious by the minute about the strange man staying in her friend's home. Amelia sighed, stacking the bread on a plate.

"Just wait and you can ask him yourself." she said, she didn't know what was okay to share and what wasn't. She knew that he didn't exactly want it public knowledge that he was half devil, at least not in a city that wasn't overly fond of devils in the first place but beyond that… she couldn't say. Luckily Vergil wasn't usually one to take a long time in the shower and he was out to join them shortly, his hair still damp and only messily brushed out of his face.

"Vergil I have to say, this smells amazing." Ashley said as they spooned the soup into individual bowls.

"Thank you, my mother wanted to make sure that my brother and I knew how to cook from a young age so she taught us. I can't say that my brother ever picked up on it but I'm certainly appreciative that she did." He said, Amelia blinked, that was probably the most that she'd ever heard him say about his family all at once. It was usually like pulling teeth to get him to talk about them for her…

"Oh, so you have a sibling? Older or younger?" Ashley asked with a glint in her eye that made Amelia want to roll hers.

"Younger by about ten minutes." Vergil said "Though he and I don't really talk anymore, it's been tough since our mother passed away when we were young." Ashley's face fell then.

"I'm so sorry." she said, seeming unsure of what else to say, Vergil shrugged, though Amelia could tell that it was forced.

"It was a long time ago. Anyway, how long have you been friends with Amelia?" he asked, successfully changing the topic.

"Oh! Well I met her when we were kids," she was about to continue when Amelia put a hand over her friend's mouth.

"You don't need to tell him the rest of the story." she said very quickly, her cheeks a bright red. A grin spread across Vergil's face as he placed the bowls on the table.

"I think I do, please Ashley, do tell." Ashley grinned and pushed her friend's hand away.

"Well you see…"

A/N: Mwahahaha, actually I just couldn't think of a good childhood meeting story that would be super embarrassing… anyway, I've got one chapter left and that one you guys will get to see on Wednesday, as this is the last one that's going up tonight but anyway,

Till next time,
