Thank you for the comments. Sorry if I spelled a name wrong.

As Nero was held from behind, the devil dragged him to another room. From behind him the devil closed the door with it's tail.

Dante held out his hand for the part-devil, Nero, to take. The boy only stood and stared at the hand as if it had slapped him. 'He would know if I slapped him' Dante thought. He chuckled and left the room.

Nero stared in shock at what had just happened. It just now donning I him exactly what he'd done. Before he could recover a blonde woman in black entered the room.

" Hey, sweetie. I'm sure you'd like to know what's going on, huh? What's your name? " She asked quietly as to not startle him. Nero nodded absently and said, "Nero." .

" Well Nero, first of all, I'm Trish. The devil you met, that's Dante. He is a half devil, while I'm a full blood devil." She said calmly. Nero just listened quietly to Trish's explanation. " So, Dante had been on a mission, he's a devil hunter, around here and had been pressed into triggering. See, Dante doesn't trigger often. So when his devil side for the chance, it took over. When Dante had wanted control back his devil side denied him. A demoness he had been fighting had seen the struggle for control and had jumped at the opportunity to take down THE Dante Sparda. So she cursed him. " She said finally. Her oddly maternal expression caught Nero off guard.

"What was the curse? " Nero pressed. But his efforts were for not, since Trish just shrugged. " I wasn't there, he didn't tell us. " She concluded lamely. Rolling his eyes Nero questioned again, "Who is this 'us' you were talking about?" Trish just smirked and opened the door of the room. As she opened the door, one by one three people, or demons, fell into the room.

The first to recover was a tall, pale man. He had snow white hair and ice blue eyes, similar to Dante's. He wore an elaborate blue tail coat.

Next to recover was a short haired, average height, human woman. He could smell her human blood. She had above-average, and maybe possessed breasts. Her eyes were a mix match red and greenish gray.

Last to recover was a blond man. He wore a black turtleneck sweater with no sleeves. His eyes were a golden brown. He looked human, but have off a strong demonic aura.

Looking back to Trish for some kind of explanation he quirked a snowy brow at her. " These, hun, are Vergil, Lady, and Daniel. Demon, human, and demon. Dante's older twin brother, a friend, and another friend. "

Trish explained. Turning to the three she said, " Guys, this is Nero. Say hi. Be nice. I mean it. " She said with a dangerous glint in her frozen steel eyes.

" Hello, Nero." Vergil said in a slightly bored and slightly amused tone.

"Aww, it's cute. " Lady cooed at him.

" Well, hello there, Nero. I'm Daniel, but you can call me Dan. " Daniel said taking his hand and placing a butterfly kiss on the back of his hand.

Nero snatched his hand back blushing profusely. " Yeah, hi. " Nero snapped still blushing.

While all of this was happening no one noticed Dante reenter the room. Stalking up behind Nero he pulled him back into a tight and possessive hug, his red and black hand on Nero's hips. He snapped at Daniel for touching his prize. " No touching my stuff, damnit! " Dante yelled. Turning to his brother he whined, " Verg, make him leave my cute little puff ball alone! "

All Nero could do was stand there, blushing, and silently wishing death on everyone in the room. Well everyone except Vergil, Trish, and himself. Damn Lady. Calling him cute. Nero pouted and huffed.

'What the hell did I get myself into?' Nero thought angrily to himself.
