Hidden Love (DMC 5 Nero x OC) [completed]

6.

While Nero and V search for pearls in order to find Rose, Rose was brought to Urizen:

The blonde girl slowly opens her eyes with a groan. "What happened...?"
She slowly sits up, looks around and quickly realizes that she is not in the same place as before.
The only thing she can remember is using the pearls of her bracelet to make a track for Nero because she knew that he would run after her. As the demons noticed her actions they knocked her out.

"Finally... you have awakened", A deep voice says sending shivers down Rose's spine. She looks around once more and spots Urizen sitting on his throne just how Nero described it.
His presence is awfully oppressing.
"Why am I here", Rose asks and slowly stands up with wobbly legs. "You are of great importance to me, my child", He says with his voice echoing through the hall. "Why?"
"Let me show you."
He reaches out his hand and tentacles form behind him that slowly make their way to Rose.
With fear striking her body she can barely move.

The tentacles attach to her temples and force her on her knees.

Rose's view gets blurry with every blink. It's like she's suddenly going into a trance.
Her blurry vision starts to sharpen again but now she is not in front of Urizen. The new location seems to be a garage.
It's the garage where Rose fixed Nero's arm.

Rose takes a look around and spots the van with Nico lying under it and Nero repairing something in the front.
He still has his Devil Bringer.
"Why do I feel like your pet mechanic? Don't get used to it", Nico says.
"Nico, I showed you those Order docs. So you still owe me, remember?", Nero says in return. Both continue to work until another voice is heard from outside the garage. "Hey, you two! Dinner's ready!" It sounds like Kyrie.
"Be right there!"

Rose guesses Kyrie and Nero must have lived together for a while.

Nero bows down to Nico. "Hey, why don't you go ahead? I'm going to finish up here", The male suggests. Nico comes out from under the van. "I'll try to save you some... not."
She stands up and exits the garage while Nero continues working on the car engine.
Rose walks towards Nero. "Nero?" She waves her hand in front of his face.
It seems like he can't see or hear her. Is this a memory? Or a past event that Urizen had witnessed? Or maybe even Dante, Lady or Trish? The future?

Rose notices a figure coming closer to the garage. A figure in a dark cloak. Nero notices as well and turns his head towards the panting figure. "You, uh, you need something?"
The figure continues to stare at the white haired male as he packs his tools together. "What is it, you hungry? Well, you're in luck pal, because food's ready and Kyrie always make too much", Nero says with a chuckle.
The figure inches nearer towards Nero.

If Rose could warn him she would have already done so.
"Hope you like loud talkers, too, because we got a pair of those upstairs."
Nero turns around to the figure and eyes it once more. "You see something you like?"
Suddenly Nero's Devil Bringer starts to glow.
"What the hell... You a demon?"
Finally Nero realizes the danger he's actually in and Rose's fear is spreading inside her body.

"Nero, the food's getting cold. What's goi-"
"Kyrie! Get back inside, now", He suddenly shouts as the figure grabs Nero's devil arm, twirls him around and smashes him against the wall.
A gasp of fear and worry leaves Roses mouth as she helplessly watches the scene take place in front of her eyes.
Rose runs over to Nero to see if he's alright but something is off. As her gaze wanders over to the stranger he holds up Nero's Devil Bringer.
Her eyes widen. "I'm taking this back", The stranger says with an all too familiar voice.

Blood bursts out of Nero's left over arm and covers the howl floor of the garage.
Rose just stares at him in disbelief as he cries out in pain. She wants to call out his name but it's not possible.
"I'm running out of time", The stranger coughs and wields a sword to open a portal.
Is that Yamato?
"Wait...", Nero cries out in pain over and over as tears stream down Rose's cheeks like a waterfall.

Then her sight gets blurry once more.
Rose holds onto Nero with all the strength not wanting to leave now.
Before she's brought back to reality she hears Nero muttering something. He turns around and seems to look her straight in the eyes, as if he could see her now. "Rose, I'm sorry..."

As the tentacles leave Rose's temples she falls onto the floor gasping for air.
As she comes back to her senses she raises her voice. "What the hell did you show me", She shouts with tears still streaming down her face.
"The past", Urizen answers.
"I was there when his arm was stolen."
"You took it!" Rose gets back onto her feet ready to lunge at the huge demon at any moment.
"Everyone has a weakness. You are his and his is yours."
"Was this your attempt of torturing me", Rose screams. "I wasn't even involved with him at that time! You're making a mistake!"
"Am I?" Urizen lifts up his hand and points past the blonde onto the entrance to his hall.

"Rose! Answer me dammit!"
Rose looks onto the entrance and sees a man standing there with white hair, a blue jacket and a sword in his hands.

"Nero?"
