Chapter 4

While Maria was doing the final blow on that giant demon, Nero heard his beloved Kyrie's scream. He didn't wait to tell the others. He ran as fast as he could. If his love was there, and if she was in trouble, he couldn't wait. When he got to where the scream was, he was greeted by yet another beast. It was on the same scale as the other.

"Hello grandson of Sparda!" the demon said.

"What do you mean by that!" Nero said with his sword ready. "Where's Kyrie!"

"She's over there... with that other pathetic human. I was using them to track down you and your kin grandson of Sparda!"

He looked to the side to find Kyrie safe and sound along with Dante's friend Lady. Trish was there, but was knocked out. Nero fought this demon for a little while, until he blinded his one eye. Now Dante and Jason had arrived to help.

"What the hell! There's more!" Jason said aiming his gun at him.

"Where is my brother!" the demon demanded.

"If you mean that other overgrown cat, than he's dead!" Jason said before Dante could make a come back.

"Wow, impressive!" Dante said to Jason on the side.

"Heh, thanks." he said with a grin.

"What! NO! You have killed both of my brothers! I will return with triple the vengeance!" the demon said.

Dante seemed confused now staring at the way the demon left. "both of his brothers? What was he talking about? But the way he and the other one talked... they seemed... familiar..." The half-devil pondered this as he, Nero, and Jason went over to the three girls. Nero held Kyrie at once, making Dante roll his eyes. Dante then went to Lady...

"Hey Lady! Can't take care of a big scary demon yourself... what's with you?"

Lady had been staring at Jason the moment he arrived.

"What's with you?" Dante asked. Jason was too busy trying to wake up Trish to notice.

"You... kid, how old are you?" Lady suddenly asked Jason.

"Uh... eighteen... why do you ask Lady?" he answered.

"When's your birthday?" she asked him.

"September 29th... why are you asking me all these questions...?"

"Uh... nothing..." Lady said finally snapping out of the inquisitive mode. "Lets just get out of here... Trish needs some medical attention..."
"yea..." Dante said. "I'll just ask what was with the 30 questions later..."

the group left to catch up with Maria and Vergil...

Meanwhile, when Maria finally stopped to wait for the others outside of the warehouse, Vergil spoke to her.

"Nice seeing you again..." Maria said annoyed.

"I was hoping we wouldn't have to..." Vergil responded. "I see Nero is doing well..."

"I guess your gonna have to stick around now, so I guess you should come clean... especially to Dante..." Maria said right to the point.

"Hmph... I guess Dante's right about your personality being like mine..." Vergil said with a smirk.

"You got that right..." Maria said also grinning.

"Along with your swordplay... very impressive..."

"Thank you..." Maria said not showing her pride.

Finally, the others showed up and the conversation (or lack there of) was cut short. The all headed to the headquarters, and as before, Lady, Trish, and Kyrie were to give DNA samples. Since Vergil had already done that, he did not need to. They decided to go to Maria and Jason's house to finally turn in to sleep.

"Now... about what we were discussing before..." Dante said while laid back in the living room.

Vergil sighed. "Fine, for your information Dante, I was married once."

"Seriously? Your not pulling my leg right?" Dante asked.

"Hmph... no.... In fact, I fathered a pair of twins... a boy and a girl..." he said now completely serious.

"You... a father... wait... that means I'm an uncle!!! What the hell!!!" Dante said astonished. Obviously he was too immature to think that he was an uncle. "How old are they?"

Vergil looked away annoyed. "twenty-two today..." he replied.

"What! Well that's a coincidence because Nero... wait a minute... that priest guy said he was in the line of Sparda so..."

"Wait... your my father?" Nero finished. "I... I thought I was an orphan..."

"Well I didn't exactly know that you survived... I thought you and your sister were killed along with your mother..."

"then... who's my..."

"I am... you couldn't figure that you?" maria said. "I'm your elder twin sister..."she said annoyed.

"Wait a minute! Your Vergil's kid!" Jason asked. "Well that explains everything then..." he said to himself gaining another stab through the stomach as Maria sulked and went to her room.

"Ok... information overload..." Dante said suddenly.

"Jeez... why are you still so immature!" Lady interfered.

"What do you mean?" Dante asked suddenly over the temporary shock.

"You have a grown nephew and a grown neice! Its nothing to get all bent out of shape about!!"

"Lady?" Dante asked.

"I'm... going to my room..." Nero said with Kyrie following him (0.o)

"Lady, what's gotten into you?" Trish asked.

"You all don't get it... Vergil probably does because he's been in this world longer! He can figure things out! Eighteen years ago was temen ni gru... eighteen years ago Dante, you and I... had relations.... Then I left for about a year... I never got back in touch with you... don't you think anything could have happened!" Lady said finally.

"Oh my god... Lady you..." Trish said finally figuring it out. She then started laughing.

"I... I still don't know what your so angry about... wait a minute..." Dante said finally getting it.

"I'm eighteen... so... wait... does that mean...." Jason said also just figuring it out.

"Dante, Jason is your son..." Lady said finally shaking her head at Dante's stupidity along with her own son who must have inherited it.

The two boys were now in shock. Vergil shook his head and also went to bed. Trish went to her bed laughing the entire time.

"I'm gonna go to bed now... good night... m...mom... d...dad..." Jason said finally leaving his new found parents alone.

"Why... why didn't you tell me?" Dante finally asked.

"Because... you were too immature for one, and two... I didn't want you to spend your entire life trying to find him. He was taken away from me, and taken to another world. I was afraid that I lost him forever anyway, so there was no use in telling you..."

"You could have stayed Lady! I would have matured if I knew I was gonna be a father!"

"I was scared myself!" Lady said finally with tears in her eyes. "I lost my mother to my crazed father, and my father was killed after turning into a demon! How was I supposed to trust anyone! How was I supposed to trust myself! You can't imagine how many times I went back and forth thinking of having an abortion, or giving it up for adoption! Finally fate chose for me by stealing the baby the minute he was born!" she finished.

Dante got up and went to Lady. He held her, and tried to soothe her.

"Listen, I understand about father issues... trust me, but its alright. I mean... At least I know about him now, and we can be a family... Even with Vergil and his kids! I bet Nero wouldn't let his father go evil again! Even Maria! She's got her bad points, but I doubt she'd let him go evil again."

"Are you serious about being a family?"

"Of course I am! I promise... The family both of us want."

"And you'll stop looking at girls?" Lady asked with a smirk.

"I don't know about going that far..." Dante said with a grin.

"I'll shoot you in the head again if you do." Lady said finally smiling again.

"Ok fine! I'll stop looking at girls!" Dante said with his hands up.

The two reunited lovers went to the final empty bedroom and well... you all know Dante...
