Chapter 4: Help

A silence had befallen them. Vergil's last statement had made him feel uneasy. "The longer you stay here with me, chances are you'll never wake up again."

"You know it would have been nice if you had just sugar coated that last fact." said Dante.

"Why would I do that? The truth hurts and that's reality."

"Speaking of reality, how am I going to get out of here? The scenery is rather boring don't you think?" asked Dante looking once more at the seemingly endless darkness. "What do you do here anyways?

"That is not relevant. You need to get out of here immediately and talk to that girl you call a friend to help you out of this situation."

"How am I supposed to do that? I can't even get out of here, how the hell am I going to get in contact with Lady?"

"Quit asking questions Dante, I can still help you but I don't know how much longer this is going to work." Vergil said ignoring Dante's many questions as he pulled out Yamato of its sheath.

Dante looked towards the katana. "What are you doing?"

"Silence Dante." was all Vergil said before he plunged Yamato into his stomach.

"Urgh!" Dante looked up at Vergil in pain and disbelief.

"Don't look at me like that. Haven't you ever heard that when you die in a dream you immediately wake up." was all he said before Dante closed his eyes before disappearing from the dream world not leaving a single trace that he was ever there.

Vergil sighed to himself before sitting back down on the ground in a meditation position his sword resting safely on his lap. 'Good luck, brother.'

Dante woke up immediately his lungs heaving for air as he awakened. Once he was breathing properly he scanned his surroundings noticing that he was once again in his office sitting on his chair. Checking to see if he was alright he saw nothing wrong with himself as he was still dressed the same as he was when he woke up. 'No signs of injuries.' The only difference this time was that there was no sign of the imposter Lady.

Quickly standing up he moved to reach for his guns that were placed neatly on his desk. 'I have to go find Lady, the real one.' he thought rushing to get out of Devil May Cry.

Placing both Ebony & Ivory into the back pockets of his pants he grabbed his boots before he made his way towards the door and then to the outside world where the sun was no longer shining.

'How long was I out for? Well it doesn't matter right now, at least it's night time, Lady should be home.' he thought as he ran through the streets in a rapid frenzy towards Lady's place.

After several minutes of running he saw Lady's apartment building from the distance. He approached the building passing the various people in the way as he ran up the stairs to reach Lady's floor.

He knocked several times before Lady finally opened the door.

"What the…Dante?" she said taking in his appearance. He was half dressed, clad only in his red pants and black boots, his hair was in disarray and the dark circles still remained. "You look like you just got out of bed Dante, I think you should get some more sleep you still look like--"

Before Lady could finish her sentence Dante had pushed the door open inviting himself inside her home managing to forcibly pin her against the wall, and in a quick succession he leaned in and kissed her quickly to see if it was really her, but before she even had the chance to push him off of her he had pulled away leaving her somewhat flabbergasted.

Still within close proximity of Lady he placed a hand to her cheek. "You have no idea how glad I am to see you!" he exclaimed once again pressing his lips against hers. This time she shoved him off. "What makes you think that you can just barge in here and take advantage of me like that! Just because you come in here half dressed doesn't mean you can try and seduce me!" she yelled angrily.

Dante looked at Lady's angered glare. Her usually pale skin was blushing making him wonder if it was from embarrassment, anger, or enjoyment.

"Get out of here Dante!"

"No wait Lady, regardless of what you think I did come here for a reason." he tried to explain.

"I don't care, leave!" she said about ready to just shove him out the door.

"Please I need your help."

"No, I offered my help to you earlier and you refused. Why should I care now?" she asked eyeing him curiously.

"Because it involves a demon." he said which caused Lady to look at him oddly.

"You can't handle it on your own?" she inquired.

"I wouldn't be here then, would I? I am sorry about earlier but at least hear me out." he pleaded raising his hands in surrender before she could pull out any one of her many guns.

"Fine, tell me what's going on." she finally said grabbing his hand and pulling him along to the sitting area.

"So what's the big problem that you need help with, that you even come running without your coat and sword?" she asked.

"Well I didn't think you'd mind." he said. "Anyways, here's what you need to know." Dante began explaining to her what has been going on. Dante went on to tell her of everything that has happened recently as Lady listened intently.

"Are you sure you're not just going insane?" she finally said after he was done with all the details.

"I wish it were that simple."

A silence struck between them. "Okay then, we need to kill this evil bastard so you could be set free from its hold and then you could leave me in peace." Lady said standing up and leaving the room to go and retrieve her weapons.

Once she was ready she came back into the room seeing Dante waiting for her.

"Lets go."

Eric Draven201: Well if I told you the answer the story wouldn't be as interesting now would it? ^_^ I'll just keep that to myself for now, but you can start forming theories if you like.

Brukaoru: Thanks this plot just kind of magically appeared into my brain one night and I decided to write it down and I'm glad it turned out to be unique in your eyes because it is hard to come up with plots that haven't been done before, you know?

DirtyVelvet: In the upcoming chapters you will read more about what is making him hallucinate so I hope you keep reading.
