Thread: Damned If Ya Don't! [Devil May Cry] [Vik x Tasinga Nightwolf]

Normally Nero could handle teasing and insults tossed his way. He watched the older male intently, unlike when they first fought. No, Nero was smarter when it came to a fight knowing better then to just assume he could win or loose. Both of them were older if that was for better or for worse was yet to be seen. Still though Nero did not like the relaxed way the other was moving closer to him. Each step Dante took closer to him made him tense more even visibly eyes hyper focused on the other. The scent coming off the younger would be something like a cornered rat or dog even ready to jump at whoever made the mistake of pushing him to far. Still though Nero was holding his ground as the other spoke noting the slight annoyance at the other's tone and then the smug note coming into it. Oh, that was getting under Nero's skin for sure. Blue eyes suddenly glowing brighter at the taunting Nero clearly was not happy at such words. He was not he hated the cocky attitude and the fact his demon side was pushed forward added to it. Demons like wolves were highly competitive which meant if someone tried looking bigger then you... you kicked their ass or got your ass kicked. This right here was no different. However Nero was not above insulting back. You look older to me, Dante. As for your turf... I didn't see your name on it. He then added. As for why I am here... That is for me to know. Nero right now cared little if he got under the other's skin. Dante was an ass for sure and Nero was going to give it back if he could there was no skin off his back if the other's feelings were hurt by some words. No, instead Dante went and made it worse. He stood by Nero which to some might not seem big but it was to a demon blooded. The fact Dante stood right next to him as if sizing him, but not looking at him made Nero nearly loose control of his temper. It was as if Dante was silently saying I am bigger and stronger... so bow down. The elder might have not meant it that way, but it sure came off that way making Nero internally snarl. He could feel his chest tighten and body flex a little. Watching Dante start to walk once more towards the door he stayed silent and would have let the elder go if Dante had not made that last little taunt. That snapped it the back of whatever hold on Nero's temper he had. However there was no cry of attack in-fact Nero was different in many ways and that was one big one. His fighting had changed to something less up-front to something much more... wise. Now Dante might wonder why the kid was so easy to make jump, but fact was Dante added to it. Dante wanted a fight and he had been putting off that scent which Nero having more demon out then normal could pick it up. Mixed with the blatant disrespect and show boating and Nero's already on edge state was one big mix for trouble... it just needed a light to make the fuse go. Dante had lit it which was what he was to find out. Before Dante could get out the door Nero had moved faster then humanly possible an landed so he was braced on the double doors a foot on either one, off the ground like he could climb on the wall even. Left hand down to brace him as well while his right Demon arm pulsed and a snarl left him as he looked right at Dante and his eyes, they were off. Solid blue now and the fact he had hit the door so hard the steel framing cracked as did the walls to either side. It did not take a rocket scientist to know Dante had about two seconds to dodge, duck or block the incoming attack Nero was going to toss right at him. Dante would get a hit of the scent coming off the kid. Confusion, anger, hate.. none of it good. Nero had more control over his demon side for sure a few years ago he would have triggered now he was still mostly human, however raw emotions never mixed well with demon born. No waiting Nero launched off the double doors and swung his right arm sending a phantom energy clawed arm right at Dante in an upper cut. Still no cry though, Nero was oddly calm, yet determined to fight.
