Chapter 2, Something Sparks


*Adrienne`s POV*

That man... Vergil, He was definatly a unique character. He wasn`t much of a shy boy at all.... But he was more quiet then any other people I`ve met that are like him... which have been none... Vergil...I`m gonna have to keep that name in mind... Just in case I ever cross paths with him again, Which most likley I will... Hell, This town has more demons then even the UnderWorld does... But, Lifes no fun without a good fight...

"Hey Adrienne! Wait up!" My friend called from behind me, trying to keep up. "What were you thinking about now?" She asked, after grabbing my belt and jerking me to a stop.

"No---...nothing..." I shook my head and looked down at my shoes.

"Its never nothing when you suddenly switch from the normal waking pace to a marathon jogger...." She let go and crossed her arms, "Its about a boy, huh?" She finished, leaning against a brick wall that was behind us.

"Kinda..." I said sheepishly, "I-I just don`t really feel like ta---" I sqeaked out

"You NEVER feel like talking about it Adrienne... Do you not trust me or something?"

"Carmen stop! Please... I don`t want to talk about it!" I snapped without realizing it. She took a few steps back.

"I---I`m sorry..." She said quietly, then walked off. I looked up and saw Carmen trotting away,

"Damnit!" I twirled around and punched a hole in the brick wall, Then took a small step back and saw what I had done. I shook my head and started running, not knowing where I would stop.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ran for what seemed like forever until I ended up in what looked like a old french ballroom. And old grand piano layed in ruins to the far left, followed by the other instruments.

"Beautiful isnt it?" a voice quietly bounced off the walls, I twisted around and scanned the room with my eyes, And there he was, strolling in from the main entrance.

"I thought I wouldn`t see you here....Vergil..." I replied in a hushed tone. He switched his glance to me,

"Really...?" He raised an eyebrow, I leaned against the doorframe and nodded slightly. "Wait... I'm very curious to ask this but.. What exactly brought you here?" Vergil asked, then switching to my direction.

"My legs... I guess, I just kinda ran in any direction and then, poof! I'm here...." I answered, looking down and studying the marble pattern.

"Surely you were seeking a fight..." He said quietly,

"Possibly..." I peeked up and saw him twirling his swords blade on the ground, "I don't really have much besides this," I paused and transformed into a HellWolf. "This is usually my most used weapon.." I finished, my voice growled slighty from the HellWolf form "I only use it for evasive moves anyways.." I added, then transfoming back into a human,

"No swords? Or firearms?" Vergil asked, I shook my head

"Couldn't bring`em because I was in public NOT fighting demons..." I said sharply, "Are you INTENDING on fighting me?" I asked, taking a long step forward.

"Possibly.." He replied, using my own words against me.

"...Alright..." I pouted slightly, then darted over to the instruments,

"Are you going to make me deaf?" He asked tauntingly, smirking slightly. Well, at least he knows how to smile.

"Actually, you just gave me an idea.." I looked back quickly, then grabbed a Cymbol and tossed it like a frisbee, he sighed and slashed it in half.
I nodded, then jumped behind the piano to my right and stabalized myself on the keys. I looked up at him to see where he stood, then nodded again, and jumped off, lunging at him.

He didnt even flinch. Or move. Until I landed right where he was, face to face. He clicked his sword into its holster and grabbed my shoulders, slamming me into the nearest wall.

"You should know, or at least learn, that if ANYONE wants to fight me, you need fast moves, or I can dodge and attack." he warned.

"Well pardon me for not even knowing you..." I trailed off, then brought my legs up fast, just like he'd said, and wrapped my legs around his waist, then pushed my weight off the wall. We fell to the floor and I pinned him.
He sighed.

"Very good," he ran one finger up my leg, "But not impressive." He rolled to his stomach, resulting in me falling off of him, and jumped up. He slid his sword out and pointed it at my chest. Mind you, Im still on the floor.

I looked up at him and bit the inside of my lip, "So maybe I need to brush up on older techniques...." I said quietly.

He tilted his head, "If you'd listenend, then you wouldve known that from the very start..."

I shrugged, "Oh well..."

I kicked his legs out from under him, knocking him to the floor, and darted to my feet. He looked back up at me, his eyes burning now, "If thats how you want to play..."

I backed against the wall as he stood and clicked his sword away and strode towards me. Once within reach, I side kicked, catching him in the stomach, and threw him against the wall next to me. He smacked the back of his head on a cast iron decoration and was unconcious momentarily.
He swayed for a minute, trying to stabalize himself, then looked over at me, inhaled, then fell to the floor. I let out a shakey breath and took two cautious steps past Vergil, then turned to face him. I heard footsteps come up behind me, I twisted my body around. Nothing, I scanned the room again with my eyes, but was also knocked out when a sword handle smashed against the back of my head. Causing everything to go black.

*Vergil's POV*

"Verg? Verg wake up!...Vergil!" I felt someone shaking me awake, I peeked one of my eyes open and saw Dante with Adrienne slung over his shoulder.

"Wha? What the hell did you do to her?" I asked, all of a sudden defensive. I stood slowly, my eyes trained on her.

"Chill out man. Shes not dead." Dante smirked. God hes an idiot sometimes. "I just knocked her out to get her away from ya. Apparently you lost the fight." he laughed.

"Don't remind me." I growled, rubbing the back of my head.

"Too late! You lost to a chick!" he continued. I shot a glare at him. He just smirked. "I told you you liked her. Why else would you have been concerned that she was out over my shoulder?"

"We've been through this already Dante. I dont like her. I just dont want you to hurt her."

He raised an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes. "Can we just GO already?" I almost yelled.

He raised his free hand, "Geez bro, dont go psycho on me."

"Good..." I nodded slightly then slowly started for the door. Knowing Dante, he's probably going to take her to DMC. This'll be fun for awhile.
