Warning:  Meh, nothing much, really.  A little swearing, but that's all.
Summary:  That jukebox was nothing but trouble…
A/N: A somewhat hurried piece, but I like it.  Probably not what the prompter had in mind.  Also, it’s still June 6^th here, so I’m not late.  ;P
Disclaimer: I don’t own the idea for Devil May Cry, nor am I making any money off of this.
Prompt: Devil May Cry, Dante/Vergil: Enemies working together - I never really meant that, you know.

 

 

Lyrics

 

Patty never got it, neither did Lady, Trish or even Morrison.  Dante himself wasn’t sure what his dear departed Mom had done to the jukebox.  Ninety percent of the time, it was dead, but when the wires suddenly crossed and it hiccupped out a song, it always told him who was coming.  American Woman, Lady.  Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Trish.  Bad Moon Rising, Morrison or Enzo with a truly awful job.  For Rosanna, Patty.  And now it was playing a song he’d thought never to hear again.

 

“Long, long time ago…” Dante blinked, ignoring Patty as he flipped Rebellion down and began playing with Ivory.  It wouldn’t be long.  It was never long once the song began to play.  Even less so with Vergil.  For all his seeming calm iciness, his bro was as impatient as he was.

 

The door creaked open, Patty starting to chirp, her words freezing in her throat as Vergil swept in, probably confused since Dante’d never mentioned him.  Dante watched Vergil size Patty up, and one argentine brow rose, curious.  Dante waited, on edge in the silence until Vergil broke it.

 

“An… interesting maid choice, brother.  I would have expected several years older, well endowed and scantily clad.  Have I missed something while I’ve been away?”  Dante grinned, #37, ‘Fuck you, I think I’ll blow your brains out’.  A personal favorite of his.

 

“Them’s fightin’ words, Verge.  Ya sure you want to go yet another round?”  Vergil’s hand swept across Yamato’s hilt, then his bro composed himself.

 

“I apologize, for that and other things.  Including the rather disastrous way the Temen-Ni-Gru incident went.  And what I said on top of the tower.  I never really meant that, you know.  Well, perhaps a little, but more as a goad then anything else.”  Dante tapped Ivory against the desk, impatient for Vergil to get to the point.

 

“Fine, you’re forgiven for all that and for trying to skewer me on Malay Island.  Now, what’re you doing here?”  Vergil’s eyes brightened with something, possibly humor.

 

“Actually, Dante, ironic as this is, I came to request your help.”  Dante felt his own eyebrow hike up in surprise.  The Ice Prince wanted help?  This was an event.  He shooed Patty out, never turning his back entirely on Vergil.  He might be thick headed, but he wasn’t stupid.  Vergil settled onto one of the couches with a disdainful look.  Dante sat on the desk edge, much to his bro’s annoyance.

 

“Talk fast.  Any second now, I’m gonna come to my senses and shoot your sorry ass.”  Vergil sighed.

 

“Ever the impatient one, Dante.  I suppose I’ll have to humor you.  What do you know of the 9^th circle?”  Dante shrugged.

 

“What everyone else who’s read the Inferno knows.  It’s where Lucifer is imprisoned.”  Vergil sighed, leaning back and closing his eyes.

 

“It’s also where traitors are sent, Dante.  The job, to use your own words, is a doozy.”  He paused, and a bit of a grin slid onto his face.  “I need your help to bust Father out of there.”  Dante felt his jaw drop, knowing he was staring at Vergil with his ‘dumb younger brother’ look.

 

“Dad’s ALIVE?”  Vergil winced at the bellow.

 

“Not precisely, though he will be when we get him out.  Anyway, it would be a… grand undertaking.  Perhaps even a chance to take on Lucifer himself.  What do you say, brother?”  Dante chose grin #17 ‘Oh goody, moving targets’.

 

“What’re we waiting for?  Lets rock!”

 

~Fin~

 

…………..  Dante and Vergil cooperate even less than Minato for me.  Still, I kind of like this piece.

...Ok, as much as I like Nero, this is what DMC4 should have been.

Capcom should hire you as a writer. Here is hoping for DMC5 :P
