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

One hellhound had slipped by, but Nero knew he could easily track the beast down later on if it did not return. Right now he was set in the Hellhounds before him. Something though did smell off No time to think on that, focus kill these stupid dogs . However with the growth of his powers also the growth of his demonic skills which could be problematic. One of the hounds jump for his face, without thinking, because he could not really he swung his clawed right arm and drove it through the dog getting a yelping whimper from it. A smile creeping over Nero's face he found he liked that part in some odd way. Not all off him liked the killing, but the enjoyment had grown sense he started wondering. His long denim jacket was covered in darker areas where demon or even his own blood had stained it, it needed a good clean. His face was kept, but seemed to hold a colder demeanor. Both Blue Rose and Red Queen looked as if they would do well with a bright polishing. Still though he did not have much time to tend to such things, he needed distractions. If he thought too hard or was bored his mind would wonder, to her, to home. A frustrated sound left him as he shot a second hound in the face. A faint blue glow left his right arm and even his eyes had it now. That though was when the demon side kicked in more. Normally he could keep himself mostly human but heightened emotional states did not help at all. Turning he paused when he heard one hound speak.. yes he heard the damn thing speak. A side effect of his demon half and the powers being more forward. Stop fighting and just DIE as it cried out the last word and sprung at him he swung Red Queen down on its head but it dodged last second getting a good bite on his arm. He felt himself hit the wall behind him glaring at it, the snarling sound that left him was not human as he looked at the demon biting his arm. Without waiting he fired a round right into its face dropping it. Looking at the now limp body he spun as a new scent hit him. It was like a mix of raw power, force and something else, demon scents were never easy to describe. Normally Nero would not have smelt it at all, but being his demon half was pushed more forward then normal he could pick it up. He could tell whoever this was, they were stronger then the hounds by far and higher then Nero himself. Great, just what he needed. Turning just in time to see a red clad figure he knew all too well. Internally he was torn at that sight, but he had to focus on his task. He knew he should be grateful to Dante for helping him back in Fortuna, but Nero also in part blamed the older man. It was not logical, but still Dante's arrival had triggered the events that changed Nero's life to what it was now. If that was for the better or for the worse was yet to be unseen. The younger half breed did not take note of Dante's condition at first he was too distracted by the Hellhounds screaming at him to just die. Something he had no intention of doing anytime soon. Looking up at Dante once the mayhem was over he did not answer the older demon. Not right away at least, tilting his head he felt one half want to back off, but the demon side wanted to stay holding his turf as he saw it anyway. Looking away and kicking one hound's body he said to the other, voice taught. None of your business. He did not sound mad more like he himself did not know the answer which was true. Nero had not meant to wonder right into Dante's city so to speak, however Nero was not going to let himself be scared off like a little girl. He took note of Dante's appearance and smirked. Nero clearly had grown some, instead of filling out he looked like he lost some weight though he still like slender compared to Dante. His white hair longer, demon arm pulsing then dimming though it stayed clawed. He spoke again this time asking. Getting too old to handle all the jobs? Now that voice was different. Nero's voice had dropped a little from getting older even in a few months, but he also seemed less carefree. Now the younger just stared the elder down waiting to see what would happen.
