Chapter 2: Surprises at Antonios
Vergil reached Antonio's mansion an hour later. He was welcomed inside by Antonio's butler who remembered Vergil and left shortly to call his master. Vergil sat on the couch next to a glass door that led to the porch. Antonio's home was just as he remembered. It was very large and spectacular. The interior was completely made of fine wood that was polished and the fire place made the room feel rather cozy. Vergil noticed a book shelf next to him and stood up to see Antonio's collection of literature. It was then that he heard footsteps on the upper floor that were hurriedly moving towards the stair case. Vergil smirked as Antonio practically jumped down the staircase. He turned towards Vergil and his brown eyes widened in surprise. Vergil noticed that Antonio hadn't changed a bit. His light brown hair were swept back completely and not a hair was out of place. It seemed that he had lost some weight but that was nothing that couldn't be fixed until dinner.
"Oh my god...it can't be...it's been 20 years…. you should be dead."
The last statement made Vergil quirk his left eye brow.
"Half demons can live for centuries...you should know this better anyone."
"Of course I just can't believe your here. I was sure something happened to you with all that's going on in the demon world."
"And what exactly is happening in the demon world."
"What are you kidding...you know the all-out war that's destroying the demon and the human world."
"Human world I can understand but the demon world? What is Mundus up to." asked Vergil mostly from himself as he placed his chin on his right fist while his left arm was crossed under his right arm. He looked up to see Antonio staring at him in bewilderment.
"What? Were you living under a rock for the past few years Vergil… Mundus is dead."
Antonio saw a mixture of confusion and shock on Vergil's face. Why doesn't Vergil know that Mundus is dead especially when his younger twin Dante is the one who killed him? Wondered Antonio as he became worried.
"That's impossible...it can't be true... there is a reason as to why Mundus rules hell. It would take a lot of strength and power to defeat him."
"Mundus ruled hell Vergil...your younger brother killed him from what I heard...I don't know the details but I'm sure that it was him."
Vergil so needed a drink right now. Dante!? How was he able to defeat Mundus especially when he couldn't even trigger his devil form...this was so bizarre. Antonio could tell that Vergil was debating with himself. At first he thought that Vergil just couldn't accept the truth...but now it was clear that Vergil truly had no idea of Mundus's fate.
"Vergil let's have dinner first. I want to know where you've been."
Vergil looked at him and nodded in agreement and moved to the dining hall with his host. The dining hall was equally tasteful and luxurious. The table was decorated with different cuisines and they all looked delicious. Just as they were about to begin eating, Antonio's butler walked in and said
"Master Antonio...Miss Lancaster has arrived."
"Oh has she...well she's set a new record...she's 4 hours late...forget her scary brother I'm going to give her a piece of my mind. Send her in Joseph."
The butler bowed and left the room, only to return shortly with a nervous blonde following him. So she is finally here...Vergil thought and then wondered what could have caused her delay by hours as he turned to look at Antonio who seemed very angry.
"Luna...you're late again. I am sick...a…"
He stopped in mid-sentence as he held eye contact with Luna. His eyes held anger but her eyes turned to a shade of soft light blue that were dull and full of regret. They held tears that refused to fall and Antonio saw that she was sorry. Immediately his anger vanished and he walked to towards Luna and held her chin. Vergil who was about to finish his drink stopped with his cup near his mouth as he his eyes tried to comprehend the scene in front of him. Antonio was kind hearted but he never tolerated tardiness or disobedience. This was very unlike him….what was even more shocking however was that the blonde had even captivated Vergil to whom the expression was not even directed at. A soft smile adorned Antonio's features as he asked softly why she was late.
"I'm sorry about being late Antonio but you see I found this boy near the cafe where we meet and he said he was lost so I took him back to his parents."
The gentle and warm expression on Antonio's face vanished completely and was replaced by annoyance as he raised his hand to try and cover his face.
"Luna...enough of your excuses. Why is it that it's always you who bumps into every unfortunate person on this planet?"
"But I'm not lying...it's the truth really." Luna said in a low voice as she played with a strand of her hair.
Antonio sighed as he took his seat and said
"Luna just sit down and join us for dinner."
"Umm us?" She asked hesitantly as she looked at the table and saw the attractive man clad in blue.
"Oh hello I'm...wait a minute...you're that really rude guy at the cafe this morning."
"...My my Your quick! Antonio give the girl a medal for remembering me from this morning."
Antonio chuckled as he looked towards his guests who were exchanging annoyed glances.
"So I guess you two know each other somewhat…I would love to hear that tale."
"Well he was looking for you at the cafe and then I came and told him about you...I hadn't seen him so I asked who he was and how he knew you but he was so rude….
"Because you continued to annoy me with your constant blabbering." Finished Vergil who by this time was done with his meal.
"Hey Antonio ...what's his name?"
"It's Gilver...well that's his mercenary name his real one is..."
" None of your business. We will hardly speak so you can just stick to Gilver."
Luna grinned and said "I think we will be seeing a lot of each other…who knows we might even be working together on several occasions so yeah...I should know your name."
"Just address me as Gilver if you really need to speak with me. You don't deserve to know my true name." said Vergil in a tired voice. He was really tired of this girl she was so stubborn.
Luna sat down next to Vergil in leaned in to get a better look at him. She was curious….What was going on in Vergil's mind was all she wanted to know at the time. She continued to stare at him in hopes of learning something. Vergil on the other hand was at his limit when it came to patience... he turned his head towards the blonde and smirked
"See something you like?"
Luna smiled brightly as she replied
"Yeah you're really handsome and all but...it's a shame that someone so attractive has such a cold personality….that sort of makes it hard to like you."
At this point Luna's eyes held a hint of mischief. So the little girl wants to play...well then...thought Vergil as his playful smirk turned into dark and dominating one. Suddenly the room became colder. Luna began to feel strange and weak. Her vision was swaying and she felt like she would suffocate. Antonio was starting to become worried. He knew what Vergil was trying to do. He was trying to use his aura to intimidate Luna. It was a technique that demons used when they didn't want to waste their time fighting. By releasing the strength of their aura, the stronger demon easily eliminated its competition without obtaining any injury. In this case Vergil was using his aura to show Luna that he could easily kill her.
"Gilver! That's enough she gets the point." warned Antonio as he tried to diffuse the situation. Vergil on the other hand was not so convinced as Luna stared at him defiantly. Vergil held her chin with his right hand and whispered to her in a Dark and intimidating voice.
Luna..."
He said her name in a gentle whisper that echoed in her mind over and over again. At that moment he was the center of her attention. All of her senses were focused solely on him. She was hypnotized by his gaze until her mind registered his next words.
"You are playing with a force that you cannot defeat. Either you learn your place or I will teach it to you."
It was as if those words reminded her of the situation she was in. her eyed returned to their deep blue shade and her face regained its glow. Vergil noticed this sudden changed and leaned back a bit though he was still holding her chin. Luna was downright angry...who does this guy think he is. She thought as she began to raise he own aura. Antonio noticed how Luna's aura was so bright and warm but Vergil's was just the opposite. Their auras clashed with each other...but it was clear that Vergil was dominant. Suddenly they both jumped away from each other as if the other was a horrible disease. They had shock and confusion written all over their faces.
"Well...this is new." said Antonio as he a saw how the two auras were linked to each other. They were swirling with power around the Luna and Vergil. It was a light blue aura that was a combination of Vergil's dark blue and Luna's white aura.
"What did you do?!" yelled Vergil in a furious voice as he tried to disentangle his aura.
"Me?...you're the one who started this..."answered Luna as a blush crept on her face. She felt so exposed and vulnerable. She wanted desperately get out of this net. She could feel Vergil's aura as well as his thoughts, his desires his feelings, all of it was so negative that she felt she would break.
How could someone harbor such negative energy...Vergil on the other hand had never felt so calm and relaxed. On the surface he was fuming...but deep inside his soul and heart welcomed the positive and warm energy. He could feel her desires, her hopes, her dreams...everything she wanted; he could give it to her in an instant. He was that powerful and influential. However he felt how scared she was of his aura. He could tell that she just wanted to get away from him. Without realizing it...he frowned. There were times when his and Dante's auras used to intertwine. The twins could break free...but this was different. Suddenly he felt furious….He felt his chest tighten. Vergil didn't want her to know him...he didn't want anything to do with her. With those thoughts in mind...Vergil broke the connection and rejected her aura, as Luna fell on her knees gasping for breath. Antonio rushed towards her and helped her stand.
"I hope this teaches the two of you a lesson."
"Tell that to him he started this."
"Hey Gilver what just happ...Gilver?"
Vergil was looking out the window with his eyes narrowed.
"It seems our auras have attracted unwanted attention."
"Oh no you mean..."
"Yes...demons...lots of demons heading straight for us."
WOOHOO….finally the base is set and we have our fist fight sequence coming up. Hope u guys will join me for it…..See ya! And thanks for reading
