Vergil wasn't unable to love. He had loved someone before and that was his mother. That was living proof that he still has human characteristics. How desperately he wanted the human side of him to just vanish and leave him with power and ruthless authority. It would be much easier to woo woman because he wouldn't care. He would just reach for his goal and believe their weren't any consequences. He looked down at the girl's face and rolled his blue eyes. Why are humans so dramatic? It's not like I was feasting on someone's flesh... he thought to himself. He studied her features carefully. Brown hair and light skin...what were the color of her eyes? Blue? Green? He scowled at himself, the color of her eyes really didn't matter.

"Leave her be, she'll be waking up pretty soon and with all due respect, I'm sure she wouldn't want to open her eyes and see you." Vergil threw him a death glare, "Remember old man, I can replace you anytime."

"I was just telling you that because you startled her before, we wouldn't want that to happen again."

That last statement wasn't worth responding to.

Vergil looked at the child follow Arkham into the basement. He always wondered why she grew so fond of that old man.

Amber fluttered her eyes open and the first thing she saw was the familiar room with heavy pink sheets. Not again, she thought. Her cheeks felt hot when she collected her thoughts from before. She sat up and toyed with her fingers, waiting for someone to open the door. She kept on toying with them, pretending that they were so interesting, more time past, but no one opened the door. Amber grew frustrated, Why wait? She thought, I'm capable of walking toward the door and opening it...ugh, but I'm not capable of facing down that man again.

That was her only obstacle, the man in blue... the door creaked open, Amber wasn't afraid to see who it was. A small figure appeared with pretty blond hair and a dress, it was a little girl. "Uh.." Amber started, "Where I'm I?"

The little girl stopped dead in her tracks, "Um...ARKHAM!"

"Shhh!"

"Alice, what now..." a bald man entered the room. Amber had to sigh in relief, she's lucky it wasn't the man in blue.

"Ah, I see you're awake,"

The brunette nodded weakly.

"Are you hungry? Maybe I should..."

"No! I-It's just that..." Amber bit the lower part of her lip, "What I'm I doing here?" Yes! That's the right question to ask when you're in a complete stranger's house!

He sighed and bowed his head, but she swear she saw a smirk appear. "I think that it's appropriate that you're hero would have to tell you." Amber blinked. Her hero?

"Yes...That is a good idea, let me go call him." the old man smiled.

"Wait," The little girl whispered to the old man, "Who's her hero?" Arkham replied back, but it was to softly for Amber to hear. The girl stared at him, "Vergil? A hero?"

"Yes now, keep the girl company."

She sighed sadly, "Okay,"

What an obedient girl, Amber thought. The blond girl stood in the doorway, waiting anxiously for his return..."W-What's your name?" she quietly asked. Amber snapped her head back up, "Amber and yours?"

"Alice," she replied.

"That's a pretty name, in fact, I always wished my name was Alice, I even got mad at my parents for naming me Amber instead of Alice."

"Parents?" whispered Alice

"Yeah, is that man your dad?"

She shook her head fiercely. "Where's your parents than?" Amber feared the worst. Had they kidnapped this poor girl too?

"My parents...my mommy and daddy?" Alice faced Amber with her big blue eyes, "They're gone." she simply said, "Arkham is like my dad now,"

"Did they abandon you?"

Amber reached out to touch Alice, to comfort her, but the same harsh, serious voice interrupted that. "That's a personal question for a little girl, don't you think?" Amber froze, and looked at the doorway, the man in blue had finally come. Alice too, froze but she calmed down when she found out that he wasn't addressing to her. "Alice, you can leave now." he told her, Alice nodded.

"What I'm I doing here?" Amber asked him, she didn't know if he was her hero or not, but now she doesn't care, she just wants to go home.

"You're alive, doesn't that matter to you?"

"You didn't answer my question."

"Why would I answer to a human? I'm superior to them, you should be answering the questions, not me." he told her, "I answer to no one." Amber scowled at him, wishing that she had the power to just slap him across his pretty little face, but she would have to handle the harsh consequences that would come along with that move. "Well, answer to me, because if you don't than I'll just walk out and leave."

"Fine, go, but don't expect me to save you're life again,"

the brunette stopped, "You saved me...?" How did this man save her? The questions buzzed through her head; he looks upon humans as nothing but insects, why would he save one? It would simply be a waste of time, especially for someone like him. He nodded and Amber took a deep breath, "T-thank you," that was unexpecting. Vergil tilted his head, that small act of kindness made him think about his future sin with her. As if impregnating her wouldn't be hard enough, now he has to kill the baby, and probably kill the baby's mother. What a sick sad world we live in. "Are you hungry?" he asked, kindly. She nodded and followed him out. It's unfortunate that every small kind step he does for her, it's all a lie. Vergil's feels no better than those perverted men who be friendly toward woman, but we all know what their true goal is.

The table was elgently prepared, both Amber and Vergil couldn't believe their eyes. Amber heard her stomach growl, and she stared at the food...it looked delicious and Amber rarely ever used that word before. Alice beat them and sat down on the table first, grabbing every piece of sweets she can feast her eyes on. "Did you make this?" Amber asked astonished.

"If I did than I wouldn't look surprised, now would I?"

"Shut up," she replied. Alice lifted her head and gave Amber a you-better-apologize-or-else-he'll-kill-you look. The brunette ignored her warning seeing that Vergil just twitched at that comment. Vergil took a seat and poured the bottle of white wine in his glass. Amber lifted an eyebrow, who knows devils could drink. His eyes turned to Amber who was just standing there, "Eat." he demanded, "You must be weak from that demon attack."

Alice looked at Vergil. Those were the first human words she had heard him say.

"Demon attack?"

The blond nodded quickly, she wore a black tanktop and baggy jeans, she was a mess like always, her makeup smeared because of the past tears, "T-that's right. D-Dante can you help? Please!" He looked at her with serious eyes, he shrugged, "Dunno, how much are you gonna pay?"

"Pay?" she echoed. Pay him to save her friend? Payhim to save a human life? Isn't he suppose to be the good guy? She clenched her fists, "Pay! Why would I pay you for saving someone's life?" she screamed. The hunter seemed unaffected by her little fit of rage, "Blondie, look, I got a reputation, besides you have no idea where she is. If a demon took off with her than, it's likely that she's dead. Torn to pieces." he told her, "Or eaten alive, actually. These sons of a bitches aren't merciful."

"But...I'm broke." her voice cracked, usually she would have tooken money from Amber's savings, but the demons tore that apart, too.

"Tch, too bad,"

"Wait! No demon took her!" Angela raised her voice. This was her last hope, otherwise she'll go on her own.

"I'm listening," his cold blue eyes were just like his brother's. They really don't look alike, Dante can smile and laugh once in a while, but Vergil just scowls and sneers.

"You're brother took her..." -Dante's eyes widen open- "Look, I don't know, but whatever it is, than it can't be good, right?"

He didn't answer her. Shock took over his strong body, his twin is responsible for kidnapping a human girl? Damn, this girl must be lying, Vergil doesn't like getting mixed in human affairs, the only thing he'll ever do to a human is use them or slaughter them like an animal. If she wasn't lying than he'll be able to see his big bro again. Now, now, when was the last time he ever saw those cold blue eyes?

"You're not lying are you?" he smirked, "Cuz' I don't really like liars," he frowned, "Even though I'm one myself, but that's not the point right now."

"He's your twin." Angela hissed, "I saw a shade of blue when the demons attacked,"

"True, he's my twin and true that his favorite color is blue, but you see visions don't ya?"

"So? That doesn't prove anything!" She banged her fist on Dante's table. "I still can't help you," he said.

Tears formed from the corners of Angela's eyes. Amber had given her a home, but that's what friends do. No, sometimes Angela would think that Amber would see her as some kind of poor bum in need of assistance, always coming home drunk, no job, and sometimes passing out on the streets. Well, now's the time to repay her by saving her life. Help or no help Angela was at least going to try.

She looked down, "Bullshit Dante," she feircely whispered, "You know what?" she picked her head up; the tears were already pouring out and Dante sighed, "Aw shit, I hate it when girls cry." he mumbled.

"I'll find her myself without your stupid help!"

"If my help was so stupid than why did you come to me in the first place!" he barked.

She sighed heavily, "Please...I-I'll pay you later..."

"Blondie...Fine...But on one condition..."

A small smile appeared on her face, he accepted her mission, all she has to do is follow this condition. "What?"

"Now," he started, "I can't promise you if we'll save your friend, hell, I can't even promise you if we'll even find your friend." he paused, but Angela made no comment. He continued, "Don't get all pissed off at me, okay?" she smiled, her eyes were glittering like a child that had received something they dearly wanted. He looked at her, "I also don't want your ass committing suicide or something. Your type would do that kind of thing, right?"

"Type?" she repeated, but nodded her head. Wow, that last part was...surprising. she thought. Now, with him by her side, saving Amber would be a piece of pie.

Ha! Our devil hunter finally showed up! It's funny, this story actually reminds me of Beauty and the Beast, doesn't it? Okay, I'm done here for now. Please review!
