Immortals (Devil may Cry)

The Confrontation

I woke up the next morning curled up on the couch. I rubbed my eyes, inspecting my surroundings. I must have fallen asleep.

I sat up, peering at my watch. I was surprised that it was a little after four in the morning. I inhaled sharply, looking up at the dark room. My vision adjusted, and I let out a little scream.

Kyle sat directly in front of me on the coffee table. He stared at me with a wicked smile. I bared my fangs at him, stiffening.

"What the hell do you want?"

"I find it fascinating to watch you sleep."

I pulled the pillow closer to my chest, "Get away from me, you creeper."

His face grew stern, "If I were going to kill you, I would have done it when you were sleeping. You wouldn't scream then."

I stared at him in disbelief. This man saved Vergil? Yeah right.

"Just leave me alone! Why are you here anyway?"

He stood, "Just visiting. I'm going to be heading back, so you can relax. Go cry to your wittle Vergil."

I snarled as the anger bubbled up inside of me, "Don't you dare insult Vergil!"

He smiled wickedly at me, and traced away. I snarled at the place he had been, loathing him instantly. I sighed, standing groggily. I stepped up the stairs, slipping into Vergil's room. He was sleeping with his back to the door. And then I noticed the design on his back. It was a sword with a circle connecting the hilt and blade, and it had wings that spread to his shoulder blades. It looked as if it had scarred onto his body.

I silently closed the door, slipping slowly into the bed next to him. He stirred slightly, and I froze, hoping that I had not awoken him. He relaxed, and I got comfortable. I had my back facing him as I closed my eyes.

I jumped as his arm looped around my waist, pulling me back against him, "You finally came in."

"Sorry, I fell asleep on the couch. Kyle was here."

"That doesn't surprise me. He comes and goes."

"And he was watching me as I slept."

"Okay, that's creepy."

"I know!"

"Well, let me go back to sleep, please. I'm really tired."

He did sound tired. I nodded, dumbly realizing that he wouldn't be able to see me. I heard his breathing deepen.

His breaths calmed me down, and I soon found myself drifting off to sleep.

 The door slammed open, "Vergil, goddammit, get up!!!"

 I felt the covers being ripped off of us, and felt Dante shake Vergil violently. Vergil snapped awake.

"I'm up, Dante! I'm up!"

"Kat was here! I caught her sneaking around in the Kitchen!"

Vergil sat up, "Where is she now? Is she still here?"

"Jasmine has her in the living room."

Vergil shot out of the bed, with Dante and I on his heels.

Downstairs, Jasmine had Kat under a heavy guard. Kat sat on the couch with defeat in her bearing. Vergil approached her with a wicked smirk, his eyes burning with anger towards her. Kat looked up at him, her expression turning dark.
