A/n: alright so looking back I probably should have made this sooner it's on me my bad i shouldnt have ended it where I did, and that is WITH NO CLOSURE!!

It was cold and damp a thick white fog obscured all but a few meters of vision. Y/n stood covered in thick sticky blood that dripped from Renegade, stained his hands, and splattered on his face. As his feet lay a familiar red coated man and blue coated woman with white hair. The Nephalem fell to his knees, seeing what he had done. The blood on his body, his hands the blood of his best friend and the love of his life. Y/n wanted to scream to cry anything but he couldn't all he could so was see the memories of him cutting down Dante and Vermila. Suddenly a burning pain erupted from where his heart was, looking up all Y/n saw was Nero holding the handle of a red hot Red Queen that was stabbing through his chest. Y/n's mind only comprehended a few things as the world faded to black the most prominent was the look of rage and sorrow inside the once joyful blue eyes of his son then it all went black.

Then Y/n woke up. The Devil hunter jolted from his bed in a cold sweat. Laying next to him was Vermila who was cuddling protectively around Vitellius. Nero was between Vermila and Y/n spread out. Y/n laid back down trying to go back to sleep but all he'd see when he closed his eyes all he'd see was the brothers, Baul and Modeus, their cold gaze piercing him from their dead eyes. The faces would change to Dante and Vermila's bloody, scared, and dead faces. Quickly coming to the realization he wouldn't be able to sleep Y/n got up, careful not to wake his sleeping family got dressed and went outside. As he left he grabbed his weapons upon going out back of the shop Y/n walked a bit till he came across a enchanted training dummy. The enchantment was simple it absorbed the force of blows and would launch them back at random times. Y/n got to work whaling into the dummy.

- time skip brought to you by Dante falling out of bed-

When Vermila woke up it wasn't to the usual smell of breakfast and coffee. Rather it was a small explosion and slight shaking of the room. Nero and V were still asleep qued by them still snoring. Vermila went over to a window which overlooked the outside behind the shop, seeing Y/n striking the training dummy. His usual fluidity was gone as he was simply beating into his target. Y/n's coat was on the ground exposing his beaten body, a testament to how long he's been at it as his regeneration wasn't working as fast. Vermila got dressed, put her boots on, and grabbed her sword while leaving.

"If you'd be so kind, could you explain to me what your doing at this hour?" Vermila asked although it was more of a demand.

"Getting some training in." Y/n said. He was covered in scrapes and bruises.

"Oh really because honestly to me it appears as though your sulking. But if you'd like I can be your training partner." Vermila said knowing what was going on. After years of knowing him it was obvious for her to read him like a book. She knew he was vastly troubled for the past couple of days, and being overprotective. Y/n hesitated as Vermila simply rushed at him, Y/n did his best to parry and block but Vermila was faster than him so a fair amount of strikes went through. "Why don't you fight back!?"

"I can't!"

"Why not?!" Vermila was not gonna take no shit as she swept his leg. "I wanted this fight right, so that means I am fully prepared to accept the consequences correct! If one initiates a battle weither they are stronger or weaker then that means they should and probably are prepared for whatever outcome! If you show them the mercy of sparing their life then that's their own choice if they want to throw it away again, NOT YOURS!" Vermila shouted the last bit as she stabbed the blade of her sword into the ground next to Y/n's head.

"But what i-"

"No excuses! And if you saw what if it was us then your stupider than you look!" Vermila shouted as she was angry. "A we are a lot harder to kill and B. There's simply no way possible for you to beat me. Dante maybe, me no reality where that's possible. It was their choice not yours, and I'm sick of seeing your stupidly happy face moping around all the time. So stop pussyfooting around and hit your milf of a wife in the gosh darn face!!"

It was odd, unusual, and obscene but for Y/n Vermila helped lift the burden on his shoulders and- "wait did you just call yourself a Milf?" Y/n asked confused.

"Yes I take it as a compliment." Vermila said. "I overheard a random group of teenagers call me it as they walked by, obviously after I knew I made sure they couldn't talk again but I think you are a living testament." Vermila said as Y/n stood up.

"I see well this is uh...." suddenly Vermila socked him in the face sending him back a couple of feet.

"Hah you have to keep your guard up-" she however didn't get to finish as Y/n punched her in the face followed by a round house kick. On the kick Vermila grabbed his leg and used the momentum to throw Y/n. Y/n came skidding to a halt and dashed at Vermila jumping and spinning into a downward axe kick. Vermila kneeled to absorb the impact as she pushed back up causing Y/n to flip to regain his balance. Vermila took this opportunity to push him back with a barrage of punches and kicks. Y/n was dodging and blocking to the best of his abilities, soon he had a plan as Vermila threw another kick he dodged just as it hit the training dummy. It then exploded. The force of the strike sent both hunters flying back and tumbling with each other.

As they came to a stop Vermila was on top of Y/n their faces inches apart. The perspiration on their skin evidence of their hard work. Dirt and grime marked their skin from their tumble in the ground.

"You need a shower." Vermila said.

"I was gonna train some more-" Y/n started but was cut off.

"No you NEED a shower, so do I." Vermila said as Y/n got the message as she dragged him into the shop leaving everything where it was. For the rest of the morning the upstairs bathroom was locked, thank goodness for the second bathroom in Devil May Cry. And the peace of mind Vermila's effective yet unorthodox counseling method brought Y/n.
