Chapter Seven: Back to where we started. Back to what we know.
The walls are bare, the posters are gone, pictures are packed away and everything that had personal meaning to the boy was packed up and ready to go.
"Nero." I called out softly from my place in the doorway.
"I'm coming." He replied barely above a whisper as he leaned down and grabbed his bags.
We walked downstairs and into the living room where everyone was waiting.
Lady and Trish were obviously upset, eyes tear filled and jaws set firmly. Vergil was sitting on the couch, head down and hunched forward with his elbows propped on his knees.
I cleared my throat, catching Vergil's attention. He rose to his feet and dusted off none existent dirt from his clothes before letting out a sigh.
Nero set down his bags and walked over to the girls. They gave him a hug, Trish kissing the top of his head and Lady giving him their numbers to stay in touch.
After the goodbyes were done we walked out to the car and put away his things before getting in the car. With a last wave to the girls' Nero, Vergil and I started our drive to Fortuna.
Now Loading…
After hours of driving in an uncomfortable silence we finally pulled up to the familiar yellow house. We all got out of the car and stretched before getting Nero's bags.
The front door opened and Abigail stepped out, looking around before spotting us. She called for Kyrie and James before running and hugging Nero with a smile.
"Hi, Momma." He greeted softly as he hugged her back.
"You only call me momma when you're upset. What's wrong?" She said as she pulled back and looked at him with a frown.
She looked behind him at Dante and noticed that he wasn't alone.
"Vergil." She gasped as she covered her mouth.
At that moment Kyrie and James walked out of the house. Kyrie ran and gave her brother a hug, telling him all the latest happenings and how much his dog had missed him.
James however walked over to the demonic twins, grabbing them by the arms and dragging them to his working garage.
He pushed them inside and shut the door before turning to glare at them.
"I want an explanation. Now."

After James had the full story he could only stare at us in shock. He pulled out his stool from under his working table and sat down on it. He hunched over and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Jesus Christ, Vergil."
Without looking he reached over and grabbed a silver flask from his table, taking off the lid and gulping its contents down.
"Since when do you drink, James?" Vergil asked.
"After raising three kids." He replied as he put the flask back in its spot.
James stood up and walked over to one of his shelves, taking a cardboard box down from the top one. He dusted it off before handing it to Vergil. Vergil took it and looked at his friend in confusion.
"I take it that this will be the last time Nero sees you so I want you to have this…Are you going to say good bye?"
Vergil looked away and shook his head.
"No, it would just make it harder."
We all walked outside to the car and put up the box before looking back at James. To my surprise Vergil hugged him, it seems that they really were close.
After their hug we got in the car and started to pull out of the driveway.
Without a glance back we started our drive back to the shop.
Done! Sorry for the long wait. Review please!
