Part II
Chapter 2
Rolling Thunder
Evyn walked into her brother's shop with groceries in hand, she made her way to the kitchen, placing the groceries down on the table. Taking the carton of eggs out with some vegetables, cheese, and milk. The young woman turned around and grabbed her baking pan, placing it down she got to work. She began cutting the vegetables up and putting them in the baking pan.
"Dante has a kid, and yet he doesn't even cook her breakfast." Evyn sighed cracking an egg, and reaching over for another one. "And he should stop eating Pizza, I'm pretty sure Trish told him to stop his pizza diet." Cracking the third egg, she leaned over to grab another one when Patty walked over with her wide blue eyes. "Hey there kiddo. Hope you like eggs."
Patty blinked her eyes and nodded her head. "Yeah. I didn't know you cooked."
Evyn shrugged her shoulders cracking the last 2 eggs. "Well, you have to learn at one point in time." She reached over and grabbed the milk. "Is Dante still asleep?"
"Yeah, he is." Patty nodded watching the older woman stir the egg together. "Is that an omelet?"
"Yup." Evyn nodded.
"Don't you usually fry it?" Patty asked tilting her head to the side.
"Yeah, but I prefer the taste of a baked omelet." Evyn shrugged putting the spoon down and grabbing the cheese. "I have some juice boxes in the bag if you want some."
Patty blinked and reached over seeing the juice boxes. "Thanks!" She smiled taking the it and pulling straw out. "You're more friendly than Dante, you know that?"
Evyn chuckled bringing the pan to the oven and set it there. "That's a first."
"What?" Patty blinked confused.
"Usually they tell me that Dante is friendlier than me." Evyn shrugged taking a seat.
Patty blinked her eyes slowly. "Really?"
"Yeah…" Evyn sighed scratching her head. "Unlike Dante, my record is dirty. I did….some things when I was younger I don't really approve of anymore."
"Like what?" Patty wondered.
"Selling experimental drugs to kids like you." Dante answered, walking into the kitchen letting out a yawn. "Why the hell do I smell omelet?"
"Because I'm making you some." Evyn huffed, taking out some paper plates. "It should be almost done."
Evyn washed the baking pan, looking at her brother. "Yes?"
"What brought up your past?" Dante asked looking at his younger sister with soft eyes. "You barley every bring it up."
Evyn look down at the soupy water. "It just came up….Patty pointed out that I'm friendlier than you. I just told her the truth."
Dante nodded his head slowly and patted her shoulder. "It wasn't your fault for what happened to him."
"I know." Evyn sighed, looking up at him. "And it wasn't yours either, Dante."
Dante nodded his head slowly and patted her shoulder, walking off to his desk. The younger twin smiled weakly and shrugged her shoulders.
"Hey! You want some wine?" Dante called out to his twin sister, holding up two wine glasses.
Evyn looked over at her brother with raised eyebrows. "Isn't it…a little early for wine?"
"Says the woman who drank 5 shots at 6 a.m." Dante pointed out placing the cups down and popping the wine bottle open.
"Hey I did that after meeting Trish. I needed a drink." Evyn stated walking over, grabbing the wine bottle.
Dante shrugged, watching his sister pour the wine into the two glasses. "Speaking of Trish, you heard from her recently?"
"Nope. Not since she went solo." Evyn hummed placing the lid back on the wine and taking her glass. "But I hope, that you introduced those two to each other." She added, walking to the couch with her glass. "Cause I hate to be the guy in the middle."
Dante hummed in thought, but brushed it off. He sat down in his chair and took out his magazine. After taking a sip of his wine, he placed the glass down and let out a scoff. "Ridiculous. Who the hell's gonna wear anything that expensive?"
"People with actual money." Evyn pointed out, taking a sip of her wine, before flipping the page in her book.
"Don't go all sassy on me." Dante frowned.
"I'm giving you an answer." Evyn hummed taking another sip.
Dante hummed looking at the price again. "You know, with that much money I could drink all night at Cindy's bar and still come home with some change."
"Is that where all the money I gave you wen?" Evyn sighed, her glass near her lips once more. Turning her attention to the door, after hearing it open she looked over and nodded at Lady who walked in.
The human demon hunter nodded her head, before walking over to Dante. With a hum, she took the magazine out of his hands and stared at it, before looking back at him. "Thinking about dressing up in drag?"
"Let me know if there's anything you think would look good on me." Dante shrug with a playful smirk on his face.
Evyn bit her lip trying not to laugh. "He doesn't trust my judgement."
"I don't think fishnets would do justice to my legs." Dante hummed.
"Whatever you say, scrawny." Evyn huffed turning the page in her book.
Lady groaned throwing the magazine back on the table. "God your jokes are always so lame. You two never change."
"So, what you want." Dante asked taking a sip of his wine. "It you're here to collect money from me, I don't need that right now."
"Relax." Lady stated taking a seat on the table to look at the elder half-breed. "I dropped by today because I have some to ask you." She looked at Evyn. "Both of you."
The younger of the twins lifted her head to the side looking at Lady. "Oh?"
"The truth is that, yesterday; the demon I was supposed to bag out away from me."
Dante hummed taking a sip of his wine. "Poor bastard. So I guess you're gonna be hunting him until he's dead, huh?" He let out a small chuckle.
"I feel bad for the poor thing." Evyn sighed leaning back against the couch. "Gonna have a long painful death." She swirled her wine around before taking a sip.
Lady smiled at their words, before turning her attention to Dante. "You wouldn't know anything about a she-devil that commands lightning, would you?"
"Lightning?" Dante asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah. Though she looked human." Lady pointed out.
Evyn blinked slowly and finished her wine. She stood up and walked over to the table grabbing the bottle.
"Don't have a clue…Evyn?" Dante hummed looking at his sister.
The younger twin placed the bottle down, swirling her wine around. She hummed, deciding to go along with her brother's game. "That doesn't really narrow it down."
"She's right." Dante nodded. "There's a ton of demons out there in the world that could totally pass for human."
Lady hummed looking down in thought. "She was packing heat too."
Dante finished his wine looking at the empty bottle. "Well, demons do have fingers. That's all you need to pull a trigger."
The human devil hunter shrugged. "You got a point there." She slid off the desk walking to the hanging weapons on the wall looking over them. "It's just that…this she-devil kept shooting a me with a gun in each of her hands. Just like you two."
Evyn kept the wine glass close to her lips, and look over at her twin brother, an eyebrow raised.
Turning to leave, the human demon hunter waved. "Later."
"This chick sounds interesting. You should introduce us." Dante smirked. "On the slim chance you're able to catch her, that is. Then I could teach her how to use those guns of hers."
"That won't happen, the next time I see her she's dead." Lady stated, placing a hand on the door handles.
Dante let out a small chuckle. "You're one scary lady.
Just then the door opened revealing Patty. The younger girl looked up with a smile. "Hey there, Lady! Are you leaving already?"
"Yeah, gotta go." Lady smiled placing a gentle hand on Patty's head. "Maybe the next time we'll hang out and play together."
"Sure." Patty smiled watching the older woman walk off.
"So you never introduced them." Evyn hummed.
"There wasn't a point to, before." Dante sighed. "Damn, this is annoying."
"Told you, I hate to be the middle guy." Evyn shrugged taking another sip.
"Dante!" Patty came running over, and picked up the magazine a smile on her face. "So did you have a good look at this?"
"Listen to you, did you forget how old you are?" Dante hummed looking at the girl. "There aren't any clothes for kids in there."
"Look here." Patty huffed glaring at the older male. "If you're going to buy me clothes, I want to get some cute stuff."
"Dear lord." Evyn sighed placing her glass down. "Patty, you're adorable, but….in there." She pointed at the magazine. "Those clothes aren't 'cute', their…"
"Her." Dante pointed at Evyn. "She doesn't even have a shirt under that jacket.
"I do….okay yeah not this time." Evyn sighed.
"Besides…" Dante yawned. "Remind me why I should have to buy you cute clothes."
Patty held out a deck of cards. "You promised you would! You said if you lost to me at cards you'd buy me some clothes!"
"I didn't say I'd buy them for you today." Dante hummed picking up the newspaper.
"That's not fair!' Patty whined leaning on the desk.
"You have any idea how much those clothes cost?" Dante asked.
"Didn't you get paid yet for tracking down that guy?" Patty asked tilting her head to the side.
"That 'guy' ended up being some runaway lizard, you can imagine what that pays." Dante sighed.
"No I can't." Patty plainly stated.
"Well, it turned out that it pays three pizzas and two strawberry sundaes." Dante shrugged.
"Of course." Evyn huffed. "Don't forget the wine."
"Yeah, there's that too." Dante nodded.
"Pizza…again?" Patty sighed. "Did Evyn made up omelet this morning?"
"She did. I just wanted my pizza fix." Dante shrugged. "So, if you want clothes like that, you better do something like find a rich guy to marry. Or do what Evyn asked you to help out with, instead of running off."
Evyn hummed, not agreeing and yet not disagreeing either. She just took a sip of the wine. "I would have paid you enough to buy some clothes."
"But this is just a regular fashion magazine. It's not like it's only the expensive brad-names in here." Patty pointed out.
"Are you telling me little kids really wear stuff that costs this much?" Dante asked.
"That's how it is for girls!" Patty exclaimed. "You understand, right Evyn?"
"I go to thrift stores." Evyn stated. "There isn't a point of using so much money on simple clothes."
Patty frowned at that and cried out. "You both don't understand anything about girls' fashion!" She laid her whole body down nocking the frame on Dante's desk down.
The elder of the twins sighed closing the newspaper. "For crying out loud." He picked the frame up and stared at it with a calm face.
Evyn looked at her brother and placed the cup down. She went to open her mouth when the phone rang.
Dante leaned over and picked the phone up. "Devil May Cry." He stood there listening to the voice on the other end. "So it was you…I knew it." He looked at his sister, who had a smirk on her face. "So, what's up? Help? That's new, thought you were done with me." He tilted his head down. "I see…yeah Evyn's here. I'm sure she wouldn't mind helping out." He hummed and let out a laugh. "All right, you have fun then. Just…don't blame me for anything that happens, all right?" With that he placed the phone down. "Damn bitch."
"So it was her then, huh." Evyn hummed a smirk on her lips. "What she need?"
"Some help. Apparently a demon is giving her problems, and is using Lady to take her out." Dante sighed scratching his head. "Damn, this is a mess."
"You should have introduced them." Evyn hummed. "Then you wouldn't be in this mess."
"Shut it will you." Dante sighed. "Besides, why are you here anyways? Isn't there a certain captain you been planning on sucking?" He smirked seeing his sister's face go bright red.
Evyn immediately turned and kicked her brother's chest sending him back. "Asshole! You can't say that with a kid here!"
Dante groaned, but chuckled anyways.
"She….has Kalina Ann on her…doesn't she." Evyn sighed, watching the explosion on the church occur.
"Yup." Dante hummed. "Good thing this isn't my job."
"Another one?" Evyn sighed seeing another explosion occur. "What the hell is happening?"
"Who knows." Dante shrugged. "Come on, we should get in there before they make some real damage."
"Too late." Evyn shrugged.
The elder of the two chuckled and took Rebellion out, swinging it around before throwing it right between the two ladies. Interrupting Trish's lightning attack, earning gasps from each female. "If you're going to continue like that, you should go find some underground club or something. Your little show could probably bring in some money."
"You know, I could see that happening." Evyn hummed leaning against the church's door.
Trish stared at the twins, before letting out a sigh walking up to them.
"Dante, Evyn, that's the bitch that I-" Lady started.
"You two are late." Trish stated glaring at them.
"Are we?" Dante asked.
"I don't recall ever hearing a time for this meet up." Evyn hummed. "Then again, Dante probably forgot to tell me."
"I told you not to be late." Trish scolded. "You never did listen."
"We're here aren't we?" Dante sighed.
"Just a minute." Lady called out.
"I mean everything's fine since we're both okay." Trish sighed with a shrug of her shoulders. "But, what would you have done if one of us was killed? What about then?"
"Relax…" Dante sighed, quickly covering his sister's mouth. "Neither of you seem like you're gonna go and die that easy. Besides Evyn agrees with me."
Evyn pulled his hand away from her mouth, glaring. "Don't drag me down with you Dante. I told you multiple times, introduce them or they'll end up killing each other!"
"I don't remember hearing that." Dante hummed.
"Jerk." Evyn huffed.
"Would you two stop acting like children!" Trish shouted clearly annoyed.
"Hello!" Lady yelled getting their attention. "What's going on here!?"
"What do you mean, 'what's going on here'?" Dante asked confused.
"We're being scolded, that's what's happening." Evyn pointed out.
"Are you three playing some sort of joke on me?!" Lady asked clearly annoyed. "You better not tell me there were cameras rolling all along. I don't watch reality tv shows and I'm not gonna be on one!" She took out her gun pointing it at Trish who went to open her mouth to speak. "And who are you? You can speak, huh? Are you telling me you were playing mute? Seems that you're quite the actress."
Trish turned around glaring at the twins. "Don't just stand there. Say something will ya?"
"Hey!" Dante shrugged. "Don't look at us. You're the one who opened your big mouth. We just know how cranky you get when we don't answer."
"Besides, it looks like you were having some type of fun." Evyn pointed out with a shrug. "Even if it was a little…misunderstanding."
Trish chuckled. "Well, yeah. Maybe."
Lady narrowed her eyes at the twins. "'Misunderstanding'? Would you explain this thing from the beginning, so I understand it?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry I had to put you on." Trish apologized looking at Lady. "You can call me Trish. And I am Dante's partner."
"Ex-partner." Dante called out. "Nowadays we work independently."
"That's not a way to put it." Trish pointed out looking at Dante. "Right, Evyn."
"Stop bringing me into your personal problems." Evyn sighed walking over to the crowd.
"It was your idea, wasn't it?" Dante sighed scratching his neck. "That we'd probably work more efficiently apart."
"Are you pouting?" Trish teased. "Maybe you're lonely being all on your own?"
"Don't talk down to me like I'm a kid." Dante sighed crossing his arms across his chest. "I totally dig being on my own."
Trish raised an eyebrow and look at Evyn, who mouthed 'No he doesn't'. The she-devil smirked at the younger twin and look back at Dante. "Really."
"Plus, I can eat all the pizza I want." Dante added with a smirk.
"Didn't I tell you for years to go easy on the pizza?!" Trish scolded. "And don't tell me that's all you're eating every day." She looked at Evyn. "Is it Evyn?"
"Sometimes, he would add a strawberry sundae to his plate." Evyn hummed.
"Hey, I had an omelet this morning." The elder groaned.
"That's because I made it for you." Evyn pointed out glaring at her brother. "I didn't give you a choice. Besides, you went along and ordered a pizza anyways!"
"God! You're pathetic you know that?" Trish shouted clearly annoyed by the older male.
"Please don't talk to me like you're my mom." Dante groaned. "You're not the maternal type."
Lady shot the bench that Dante was leaning on, glaring at the group. "That's enough. Look, you better explain this. I don't give a damn about your personal lives. Stark talkin'.
"Oh, if you're feeling a little bit jealous, you should just let yourself express that." Trish cooed.
"Jealous?" Lady scoffed running up to Trish and grabbed her wrist, pointing her gun at Dante. "You think I'm jealous?! This bastard's a strawberry sundae freak! He eats pizza every day, and he never pays back the money he borrows from me or anybody else! How exactly am I supposed to fall for him?!"
"Oh! So I'm wrong?" Trish hummed with a smirk on her lips.
"Take a wild guess!" Lady hissed.
"Look what you did." Evyn sighed leaning against her brother. "If only you introduced them."
"Hey, I introduced you, and you shot her." Dante pointed out, poking his sister's cheek.
Lady turned her head to the twins. "Say something! Both of you!"
"Like I said, don't look at us." Dane shrugged.
"Why didn't you just explain things to me right away?" Lady asked. "Then we wouldn't have to ruin our clothes and hair, right?"
"In this business, sometimes people want to test themselves against a powerful enemy." Evyn pointed out setting herself down on top one of the benches, looking at Lady.
"Can't blame her since recently you and I haven't been getting that much of a workout from our opponents." Dante added in.
"And at any rate, when I first saw you running around, you seem like you'd give me some more fun than my quarry."
"Your quarry?" Lady frowned looking at Trish in confusion.
The she-devil nodded her head, and turned towards the alter of the church calling out. "Why don't you come on out? You've been watching us all along haven't you?
"I see…" Lady frowned watching the priest come out.
"I'm here t the request of another person." Trish explained. "Since this strange priest showed up, this town has become a den for demons."
"And he felt like he was in danger, so he hired me…" Lady stated glaring at the priest. "What a clever little father."
"Don't misunderstand me." The priest stated walking out of the shadows and towards the group of hunters. "Putting an end to you four do-gooders will be easy. I just thought I'd like to avoid the hassle of doing so."
"I always thought his guy was a little weird." Lady hummed twirling her gun around. "But I wouldn't have guessed he's a demon."
"Now that you know me for what I am. I have no choice. It's a hassle but you're all going to have to die here." He growled, as the human façade tore away revealing a large white angle like demon.
Trish let out a small chuckle. "Tell me, Dante. What ya think?"
"Unfortunate for him, since this horny little devil is new to town. He doesn't understand what it is we do for a living." Dante stated with a smile.
"I'm just giddy for what's going to happen." Evyn smirked, taking out her two guns. "Poor fellow, being reduced to mere enjoyment."
"Oh great, now this one is getting turned on." Dante chuckled.
Lady let out a small chuckle at that. "I could almost cry knowing this dork had me fooled. Boohoo. Boohoo."
"Enough with your jokes!" The demon shouted glaring at the four.
All four pulled out their own weapons when the demon pounced on them, shouting out together.
"Jokes on you pal!"
Hope you enjoyed this long chapter!
