Childs play.

Nero flushed nervously, what did Dante expect him to say?

"Well kid? Wolf got your tongue?" Dante raised an eyebrow in agitation.

"Don't call me that!" Nero exclaimed, cheeks turning pink.

"If I had wanted things explained to you, I would have told you myself. Nero answer's to no one he is free."Fenris snorted, eyes rolling backwards.

Dante frowned at Nero, who seemed to be picking invisible lint off of his (black-purple-red) trench coat with his devil bringer.

He didn't like this wolf not one bit, and the feeling was growing stronger with every passing minute.

"Feelings mutual!" Fenris barked tone cold and calculating.

Nero grimaced feeling like he was stuck in the middle of a war. He could tell from the resentment hanging in the air that neither one wanted the other there.

"WHAT THE FUCK? CAN THIS FUCK FACE REALLY READ MY MIND?!" Dante asked himself in disbelief.

"Sadly your mind is not worth reading! There is not an ounce of worth or self preservation in their..." Fenris surmised in what seemed to be wicked delight.

Nero looked from Dante's face to Fenris's.

Dante looked baffled, while Fenris wore a look of superiority.

"Take that back right now you fucking bag of fleas!" Dante snarled aggressively, finger pointing in the wolf's direction.

"Because that was oh so original, yes please continue! I have an idea, if you can tell me what noisome means, then I shall admit defeat…" Fenris spoke smugly.

Dante narrowed his eyes thinking on the word.

"I can't believe I am actually tolerating this, bigot." Dante mentally snorted.

"Oh he does know a big word!" Fenris goaded.

"ALRIGHT ENOUGH!"Nero bellowed.

Both males looked his way.

Nero ran his left hand through his argent colored hair, looking aghast all the while.

He couldn't believe these two! Fighting and at each other's throat like a pair of, well to be honest…wolves.

Dante looked down feeling guilty.

Fenris just tossed his head, like he didn't care one way or the other.

"Dante I want to speak to Fenris alone…Please?" Nero pleaded in a tired voice.

Dante wanted to do anything but that, hell is Devil was howling with the injustice of it all.

So it was with great displeasure that, he found himself going to the reception area to inquire about food, to be specific pizza.

Part One

Halve truths and Painful partings.

Fenris and Nero stared each other down, eyes locked in mutual understanding that it was best for Dante to be out of ear shot.

Neither wolf nor boy wanting their conversation heard, for their own separate reasons.

"What is the matter with you?" Nero hissed after a few minutes of waiting.

"I am perfectly fine." Fenris sniffed disdainfully.

"I sure as shit couldn't tell! What's your problem with the old man?" Nero asked voice thick with tension.

"What would it matter to you, If and that is a big IF…I had a problem with him?" Fenris asked voice full of contempt.

"Fenris! Fuck you could at least hold back the scathing tone! If I had doubts before, I sure as hell don't now!"

"Like I said before pup, what's it to you? Wait a minute…it couldn't be that you…NO!" Fenris, shook his mighty head, voice thick with non-belief.

"What?!" Nero asked calmly all the while starting to get bad vibes.

"Tell me you don't have feelings for him!" The wolf snarled following his gut feeling.

Nero's baby blues grew wide in shock.

His mouth tried to form syllables but no words would come.

"ANSWER ME!"

"NO!" The young slayer screamed as he started to break out in a cold sweat, body trembling from the negativity radiating from his companion.

"Very well then." Relief flooded through the wolf's frame.

He couldn't afford to have Nero on his bad side, yet he couldn't afford for him to be in love with the half-breed son of Sparda either.

Nero's Devil instincts were screaming for him to tell the wolf whatever he wanted to hear. Something just didn't seem right to him.

Fenris padded over to, his young companions side tongue coming out to lick Nero's hand in apology.

"I didn't mean to scare you brother, it's just…he is not the one for you." Fenris's voice silently echoed the word he making him make a face with his tongue out in revulsion like it left a bile taste, just thinking it.

Curiosity got the best of Nero; he couldn't stop himself from asking why, voice thick with hurt.

"Curiosity killed the pup, but if you must know… Love is for the weak."

"Are you kidding me? That's your excuse for turning into a nut job?" Nero scoffed.

Fenris growled low in his throat body shaking with the force of his displeasure.

"I wasn't done!"

Nero held his hands out in surrender.

"I succumbed to that feeling…that woman betrayed me! She turned her back on everything I offered! Said she could never be with a monster such as myself!" At this point Fenris gave Nero a knowing look, as the boy's alabaster skin turned ashen.

"So I let her go, I wanted her to be happy…but has fate would have it, I soon learned that bitch carried my babe! I went to her, begged and pleaded for her to let me have the child she didn't want. I had no choice but to keep her locked up, she tried to kill it! My son was strong though he lived through all her attempts of abortion…but that bitch had the last laugh!"

Nero was shocked by everything he was hearing, he didn't know if he wanted to hear the rest but he felt as if he needed to.

"She had saved up the last of her powers, and had him sent far away from me…I not only lost a son that day but I lost myself as well any humanity that I held in my heart left me."

Nero frowned, his heart ached for his friend but something defiantly wasn't adding up with his story.

"Wait…I thought you were a benevolent spirit? What you're saying doesn't make any sense." The ex-order member's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"My my my, but you are a perceptive one. Alright pup I suppose you deserve the truth. I was never a spirit to begin with; I was once a great and powerful demon. There now you know, but that wasn't what I was trying to impress on that thick skull of yours."

"I am so confused…" Nero groaned he was getting way to many mixed signals.

Fenris didn't bother to say anything to this, he only hoped up beside the boy on the bed.

"….Sooo why can't I be in love with Dante again?" Nero interrogated the need to know beating at him like a hammer to a nail.

"You are impossible! You may not fall in love with him because he could never return your feelings!" Fenris snapped annoyed.

"How do you know that?" Nero interceded.

"I am telling you that from experience, and you should know! Just think about that bitch Kyrie you loved her and she abandoned you did she not? When you love someone they can only cause you pain and suffering! Besides that man is obviously straight."

"Oh… I guess your right…" Nero averted his gaze from the violet ones desperately searching out his own.

"Heed my words pup! You would be better off troth plighted; you would know exactly what you were dealing with then. As your pack brother I suggest you take my words to heart I would not see you hurt broken again."

Nero was silent the wolf's words weighing heavily upon his heart and mind. It would be okay to love Dante from afar right? Were his feelings even love, or was it a case of sever hero worship.

Fenris was pleased with how deeply the boy seemed to be contemplating his words, everything was going to plan. A hastily put together plan, but none the less it was something to work with.

He didn't have to worry about the child being harmed; the elder hunter would watch him until he returned to fetch his ward.

Really the pup reminded him of himself when he was younger, but then again the apple doesn't roll far from the tree.

Nero lifted his head, eyes roving over Fenris's form.

"Why do I feel like you're leaving something out?"

Nero's voice broke through the demon's thoughts, capturing his attention.

"…"

Fenris said nothing as he headed for the door, mentally he counted from ten.

"10…9…8….7…"

"Wait! Where are you going?!" Nero cried darting past the wolf and shielding the door with his body.

"Just on cue, got you right where I want you."

"I am leaving, what does it look like?" Fenris questioned darkly.

"Why?! I thought we were friends?!" Nero whispered heart aching with rejection.

"We are, but you no longer have need of me and I do have other things to attend to. Where I am going you can't follow. I would like to leave you a parting gift, well more like a birth right." Fenris soothed gently.

"I don't understand…" Nero looked down clenching his fist.

"Do you trust me?

Nero looked up eyes clouded as he thought about that.

Did he trust the wolf?

"No…something is fishy we shouldn't trust it!"

"But Fenris has been good to us! Just because he told one little lie…"

"I don't care I don't trust it, I am essentially you…I feel what you feel just admit it.."

"Fenris has done nothing but protect us!"

"Alright then smart ass let us test him."

"And just how do you suppose we do that?"

" How the hell am I supposed to know?!"

"You're a big fucking help!"

Fenris tried to read the boy's mind but found he could discern anything being said it all sounded like static on an old radio.

His patience was quickly wearing thin.

"Jesus fucking Christthere is 1 universe, 9 planets, 7 seas, 7 continents, 809 islands, 204 countries, and I have the unfortunate look of being stuck with a dumbass like you!" Nero groaned internally.

"Just to set the record straight there are 8 planets, you ignorant fuck. Or did your dumbass forget Pluto? Devil Nero sniggered.

"Ya know what VIVA LA PLUTO FUCK YOU!" Nero snarled mentally shooting his devil the middle finger in defiance.

"Well?" Fenris barked sitting on his haunches.

TBC…

I hope Karma will get those two...
But now Dante has Nero AND Fenris! awesome! It's funny to see that Dante is jealous of the wolf XDDD
Thanks for updating! Take care and good luck!

My reply: No problem my pleasure! Unfortunately Fenris has taken a drastic turn from where I first imagined him. This chapter kinda even through me but once I started to think about Fenris the more he seemed like an antagonist. I didn't want to do this to him, but maybe it will turn out that things aren't as they seem…Please keep reading and thank you for your support!
