Chapter Two: Don't be a quack!

The drive was silent and uncomfortable. It had begun to rain a few minutes after we left Nero's house so we were stuck in a small car with the windows rolled up. Trish turned in her seat and gave Nero a motherly smile.

"Why don't you tell us about yourself, Nero? We didn't have much time to chat when I was disguised as Gloria." She says sweetly, still causing the kid to jump at the sudden noise. By Now Lady was watching him too, causing him to squirm in his seat.

"Uh, I live with my Mom, Dad and Kyrie. I design my own weapons and I'm a knight for the order. Not much else, sorry." Nero said with a scratch to his head.

Trish smiled and put a comforting hand on his knee. "Well it's lovely to have you with us, sweetie." She said before facing forward in her seat.

. The next few hours went smooth. We talked on and off throughout the ride, sometimes we would turn the radio up during a good song and laugh when Nero would sing quietly to himself. It was around three in the morning when we pulled up to the shop. We were finally out of the car and grabbing his bag when he stopped and stared at the neon sign.

"You think the big neon letters on the front of your shop is subtle, Old man?" He said with a chuckle before yawning suddenly.

"We all need some sleep. The girls can stay in Nero's room for tonight and I guess the kid and I can share." I announced as we all went inside and locked down the shop. We all agreed and said our farewells before heading upstairs and splitting up. Nero went to the conjoined bathroom and bushed his teeth and changed before walking back in. I laughed at his choice of sleep clothes. Yellow sleep pants covered in white 'Quack Quack' and a baggy black shirt with a rubber ducky on it that said 'I've seen your girlfriend naked.' I laughed. Hard.

"Shut up! I like ducks so what?!" He snapped with a blush covering his face.

We climbed in bed, just lying there in silence with an exception of a few chuckles that I couldn't keep in. After a few minutes I sobered up and reached over and ruffled his hair. "It's nice having you here, Kid." I said softly. I had to smile when a snore was the reply I received.

"Aren't you curious as to how you're related? I mean come on he has to be pretty close to you. Yamato and a half devil child are abandoned in Fortuna? Dante, did you ever consider that Ver-"

"Don't ever mention that name, Lady. Not when the kid is here." I interrupted harshly. We heard footsteps and a load yawn before Nero made it downstairs.

"Well hey quacky!" I greeted with a laugh. He was still in those hilarious pajamas, guess he forgot he was wearing them considering he turned bright red. He made his way over and sat on the part of the couch that wasn't taken. The girls were giggling and saying how cute it was.

"Ok, ok! So what are we doing today?" He said, changing the subject as soon as possible.

I scratched my stubble in thought before leaning back and closing my eyes. "Order pizza, goof off and wait for a job so we can kick some ass."

"That's your business?" He asked in a curious tone.

I smirked. "Yes, and business is good."

Sorry it sucks. I wasn't sure where to head with this and not sure how to end it. But review and tell me what you think. - Yavi
