One night in the crimson moonlight, I found myself waking up on the street bruised all to hell. I had no idea why I was here. Where would I go? I had no choice but to fight for my life to survive. Is anyone there, someone to help me?
Mostly V/ Verg...
*CHING!* With the tip of his Katana, Vergil pushed the flying knife away from him. It crashed to the ground.
I was a bit embarrassed that I tried to just stab him with the knife. "Oh..ah sorry.."
The injured devil man walked up to me with those deep shades over his eyes, and demonic cracks on his skin still healing. It looked a bit more like veins now, they sometimes had a small blue glow to them. It was a side effect to him suddenly channeling so much power to protect us, while still in his human form.
I guessed he was still in his cool-down stage.
Vergil slowly walked up to him, his eyes scanning the bruising he just noticed. I quickly pulled my shirt back on to hide it and sat there. Wondering why he was here.
"Why are you here? you should be resting..." I asked.
"So should you.." He said.
I sighed. He was right.
"Is that my fault...?" He adds, standing right next to my sitting form. I wasn't short, but right now I felt small. He had that natural towering stance.
I slowly nod my head. I didn't want to blame him anymore. Vergil placed a hand on top of my head, and very slowly, and gently he patted my head. This was so strange to me.., I wasn't used to this, or him acting like this. I knew what he was trying to do though...
"Can you..please stand?" He asked me, in a soft tone. He sounded tired.

"Uh...okay...." I got to my feet and stood before him, confused and wondering. Vergil took a step forward. Before I could blink, my face was touching his chest, and his arm was over my back.
He was giving me a strong, but gentle hug. My heart raced because of this. I couldn't form any words.
"I'm...truly sorry...you are like this." He muttered. I felt emotions well up inside me. He wasn't usually this apologetic. " I will try harder next time."
"..It's alright. I'm not in that much pain."
He hugged me a little tighter. "..because of this..the demons may be hunting us tonight. I need you to ask to stay in my room tonight."
I stiffened. "I know...you are not..comfortable with that...but..I would rather be able to watch out... than see you dead in the morning alone."
"Okay..I understand."
"Let me..take you to the ground then. I do not want Dante to...see..."
"Yes..okay."
With that strong arm around me. I held onto the back of his neck with one hand. As he lept up into the air, and over the building we went.
"Oh hey you are back." Dante chirped inside the van. I went up to an open spot on the sofa and sat down. Vergil followed after me and sat down not far from me.
"Alright then back we go," Nico says as she begins to drive.
We were eating dinner when Dante kept on complaining about how sore he was. Vergil narrowed his eyes across the kitchen table. "Dante..shut up." He snapped.
"Ah.ahah." I laughed lightly, as Vergil looked at me with sympathy in his eyes that I could not see from the shades.
I was going to offer tea when I heard a small crash. My eyes widen seeing Vergil drop his tea cup. His hand was on his head in pain.
"V-Vergil.??" I blinked.
"I..I'm alright." He sighed.
"O-Okay..I'll clean up the glass."
"NO!" He suddenly said. My sweat dropped off the side of my face.
"I..mean.., It's my fault I shall clean it."
I nod my head slowly, I stood up with my plate and went into the kitchen. Placing it into the sink, I slowly walked back into the room. 'I...should just go...to m-y..uh...Vergil's room....' Sighing I remembered what he said. That he would like to guard me better.
"Goodnight _____.!" Nero smiled. "Night." I smiled at him.
This man had one hella fancy room, but it was neatly taken care of. I felt a bit out of place here. Everything was like gold here. I was scared to touch anything, worried he would get mad for touching his stuff.
"..s-shower....I... should..shower."
I threw myself into the bathroom, and slammed the door, making sure it was locked twice.
