"What are you even talking about?" Vermila asked as she held a 3 year old Vitellius in her lap, combing his hair after his bath. She was combing it back and he looked almost like a little boy version of Vermila.

"Well think about it like this on a deeper meaning, Devil has two meanings the species and a person how only wishes for their own gain. While cry is a term used for an action taken when really sad and a calling. So Devil May Cry could be a term to show humanity in something evil or the slaying of wickedness as they cry out." Y/n said taking a breath before continuing. "And Angels there's the race of beings and then there are people that are so nice they are called Angels. And there are many types of laughs good and bad so a deeper meaning could be a good person being happy or a 'Good person' who is actually a very bad person." Y/n put quotes around the words good person.

Vermila stared at him questionably.

"When did you even start thinking about this?" Vermila asked while grabbing Vitellius his PJs.

"Last night. Right after bedtime sparring." Y/n said as he was handed V.

"I don't know what's worse, the matter of when it happened. Or the fact that your not wrong." Vermila said as she wrapped up V in a blanket with only his head poking out.

"Father, sometimes you can say some of the most bizarre things." V said.

"Says the 3 year old reads William Blake and puts thesaurus's to shame." Y/n said. "Normally kids would just be learning how to read at your age."

Suddenly Nero came running down the hall. His hair was wet and he was only in shorts.

"IM NOT A LITTLE KID! STOP TRYING TO DRESS ME!!" Nero shouted down the hall before leaping over the railing. "Dad you gotta help me Auntie Lady is crazy!"

"It can't be that bad Nero-"

"Nero! Come on I got you, Y/n, and Dante! Lady called from the hallway. Dante then came running through the building.

"Keys?" Y/n asked.

"Car!" Dante said.

"Now!!" Nero shouts as they run out.

The three ran out of the shop with a start on an engine following.

"Hey where's they go?" Lady said from the top of the stairs. She was holding a sailor looking outfit.

"That way." Vermila said pointing at the door. Lady went to follow before Vermila interrupted her. "Promise me copies."

"Of course." With that Lady was off.

Some how some way Lady was able to catch the three and got pictures. Lady then used said pictures to black mail Dante into a job with Y/n. Nero's picture was non negotiable because Lady and Vermila were against them, heck this job was so then Lady didn't hang them up everywhere. Not to mention Dante's dept. So now the duo of demonic Devil Hunters were trekking through the woods par the request of some lumber company owner.

"Damn Dante, how'd you even get so much dept to Lady in the first place?" Y/n asked as they walked through the woods.

"Well Y/n, I learned the hard way that Lady was a hustler. Especially at pool." Dante responded.

"RAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA!! You owe Lady a life time of dept because of pool ball!" Y/n couldn't stop himself from laughing. It wasn't until he heard another laugh that the Devil hunter stopped. This other laugh wasn't Dante's or even the cackle of some high ranked demon, it was softer, kinder even, and felt like it would draw you in. Then Y/n and Dante noticed the smell around them, it was sweet and thick like if one of them drew their swords they could cut it. Y/n whipped around sensing a presence behind them, drawing Helios and Selene.
