Vergil's eyes showed no emotion, he tilted her head back slightly clearing her airway. Vergil prepared 4 things, a sheet of A5 paper, a small cotton wool ball, chop sticks and a bandage. "this woman has made me weak" he whispered before cutting his left palm with Yamato and let a drop of blood fall on the cotten wool ball, Hepicked up the cotton wool ball with the chop sticks and held it above the flame in the fire place for a second, then blew out the cotton ball wrapping it in the paper, he then lightly dabbed it on her throat.

This technique required devil blood, it would heal anything from cancer to flesh wounds and broken bones too.

"No, not weak. She has shown you something that you Ghent felt in a long time. She is showing you love," Mia said, hearing what he had said.

Her body calmed and she slightly coughed up blood that was in her lungs. Her eyes slowly opened as she looked up at him. Her voice was weak but she still spoke. "Th-thank you...You are a g-good person." She smiled weakly as the gems in her weapons glowed like the necklace she had given him did. She touched his chest softly then put her hand near her weapon. She heard Mia and knew she was right.

Vergil didn't reply to her instead hr turned to the fireplace and stuck his hand in, the fire closed up the wound. the pain is the only thing that's real .

he wrapped the bandage around the wound and grabbed a towel "I don't need love... " Vergil wiped his hair and torso from the sweat before he ran his hand over his hair returning it back to it's normal backward spiked style. he walked out the door and jumped up to the roof.

Mia watched and didn't even need to jump. She simply put her forepaws on the roof and scrambled up, sitting next to him, "no, you just don't want it," Mia corrected him, "Everyone needs love. I understand that it takes a long time for a broken heart to heal though."

When Nene felt just fine she went outside. She wasn't one to cut down trees unless she had something to say but sure as hell wasn't saying it. She went a little bit far from his hut befor roundhouse kicking a tree and making it fly half a mile. That was pretty powerful for a human girl that is. She took her blades and put them together as they started to spin and she jumped ontop of them,creating a cyclone. She distroyed half of the place and made a complete circle. She finished and sat down on the ground.

"I don't need it, and i don't want it" He stared at the moon and the stars "My broken heart is what drives me, i need my heart to stay broken" Vergil got to his feet, he got into a fighting stance but instead of being fast, he moved as slowly as the wind. He moved elegantly with grace, and without a sound

Mia just sat there, watching him, "And what if your heart becomes healed? Then you will have a new drive: the desire to protect who it is that you love and who loves you back," Mia said quietly, "All beings desire affection, especially humans, even if you're half human."

"No! Don't you understand, I had love, My mother!" he stopped and looked down. he was haunted by the memory of his mother being killed whilst he just watched, weak and afraid. "love won't help me gain power, Anger will!" he looked over at Nene, denying all feelings that he thinks he has for her "That woman has made me weak..."

"You're very arrogant, you know that?" Mia said calmly, "Anger doesn't help anything. It will fuel your body and your motives, but you can't live off of anger," she sighed, "I'm over 150 years old, granted that's only 15 in griffin years, but I'm still a lot more experienced than you. She has not made you weak, especially not in the few hours you've known her. She's helping your heart to repair itsel and a whole heart is the strongest kind."

The sun was finally up, the birds were singing as the creatures of the day finally came out from their sleep. Vergil's naked torso glowed from the sunlight "I have lived off of anger my entire life, it's the only thing i know how to do..." He jumped off of the roof and walked into the hut, stripped down to his boxers and walked into the stream after grabbing a fresh white towel.
maybe it's time for me to change, i have lived on anger for my entire life, maybe loving this woman is a good thing... NO! i have to avenge my mother's death

"Then you need to change," she said, "You need o accept her love for you. You can still do whatever it is you need to, but if you truly show the same affection that she is trying to give you, the difference is that you won't be facing it alone. You'll have someone who cares about you helping you."

That last bit of what Mia said made Vergil realise... Realize why having somebody to go through it with you and end up dying is what'll kill him all over again. he put his feeling to the side "There is no way that I'm going to love someone, I will gain power, Even if it kills me!" He stayed in the stream. letting the water sting his wound.

"But you have power, don't you see that? I'd say something cheesy, like the power of love, but that's nit entirely true. You have the power to make the person who care about you go with you, to face the same dangers and experience the same heart break that you have and then when it gets too dangerous, you can tell them to go home an to be safe."

Nene sat near the area,meditating. She heard everything and mostly agreed with Mia. After everyone she loved betrayed her and some even died,she became even kinder. She also had a saying that was always 'Dont take my kindness for weakness.' But honestly she thought that having power is worthless. Having hope is a different story.

Vergil didn't reply, instead he wiped himself head to toe with the fresh towel and put on some clothes; black Denim jeans and a nice grey Armani belt. He ran his hand over his hair returning it to its normal position.

"I'm leaving, I want you both gone before I return" he said as he slid close the shoji doors and put on a similar shirt as before: a blue sleeveless shirt. it was time for Vergil to try and kill his younger brother Danny and drain his powers.

Nene heard everything and wiped the small tear from her eye. She shook her head and started walking far away. Her head was held down as she began to walk far from the area. As far as she went,the necklace she put around him would become dull and dark and the gem soon turned red then black.

Vergil was alone once again, a feeling all too familiar. Other than that there was a lurking presence that felt slightly familiar. "WHO'S THERE!?" a cold sweat ran down his forehead and then it hit him, it was one of the Demon king's Henchdemon. This was one of the moments Vergil wanted, to start spilling the blood of the demons that helped the Demon king kill his mother. A creepy grin spread across his face, Vergil was no longer himself, not at all, instead the air around him became ice cold as his eyes turned a crimson colour.

The necklace around his neck started to react to his sudden change. What wll become of Vergil if he gets a taste of revenge. Will his thirst quench after he avenged his mother?, will guilt kick in when he finally realizes that he'd killed the only family he'd had?, or will that thirst grow?

Nene became curious as she noticed her blades also reacted. She jumped in a high part of a tree and started jumping back to his place. As soon as she did,she stood on it with silence. The necklace became gold and the gem was blue again when she was around him. Her hands were on the tree and her yellow scarf was still in his hut.

I hope he doesnt scence me...I don't think he is 'right' at this moment.

"You've grown considerably strong son of sparda" a demonic voice came from the forest in his vicinity.
"Well why don't we test me?" Vergil scanned his surroundings, leaves and rocks started to levitate slightly the smile still on his face. The necklace started to float just slightly off of his chest as his hair spiked up. Yamato was covered in blue flames.
