There it was… Hanging on my front door…

NOTICE TO EVICT

"What the hell is this?"

Fuck…I had just gotten back from a mission, had already collected my earnings and had every intention to pay rent… Regardless of the fact that it had already been three months behind… Guess the landlord didn't take kindly to tenants not paying on time… which I'd become notorious for in the last several years… Why now of all times to shut me down?

It was times like these that I cursed the fact that I didn't have a steady consistent paycheck, the very reason I couldn't afford a common luxury such as a cellphone… For now would have been the perfect time to call up the landlord to give him a piece of my fucking mind… and the owing rent of course… Gotta keep a roof over my head somehow…But It looked like it was too late for that, the shop was barred up and I knew better than to vandalize property I wouldn't be able to pay for… Luckily the landlord came to me instead, where I still gave him a piece of my fucking mind.

"Hey, what gives old man?" I asked as he lumbered his way through the alley leading up to my shop, "You shut my shop down while I was out working for your goddamn rent money?"

He looked at me through glazed aged eyes, and responded with a mean scowl, " You got off easy, Dante." He responded simply, but continued with a more threatening glare, "And consider yourself lucky, some poor bastards in this world lose a lot more than just a place to live,"

"Oh yeah old man," I scoffed clenching my balled up fist, which sat shaking down at my side, "What else could you possibly take from me now. You shut my GODDAMN Business down!"

"People have lost feeling below their forehead for not paying when they should." He answered smugly, "Now their loved ones pay for all of their expenses. If they have any that is"

Sick bastard, talking like he's part of the mob or some stupid shit.

"Besides," He said turning to leave, he called echoing back to me as he sauntered away, "I've already got someone else moving in, and unless you're looking for trouble, I suggest you vacate the premises before I call the authorities."

And there it was… Eye twitching, teeth grinding, fist balling, blood boiling your very soul kinda rage. If I could have shouted every expletive in known human/demonic language I would have…I was that pissed.

My desk… Which rested my feet until I needed to put them to work…My Jukebox that rocked all of Devil May Cry every day. My drum and guitar who got parties crazy…. My Pool table, which I sucked horribly at but found it a good medium for bets… Which I also sucked horribly at.. Just… My whole goddamn lively hood sat in that building!

"FUUUUUCK!"

This was it… I was out on my Ass…. And Devil May Cry would be no more.

Dearest Kyrie:

I'm so sorry…

This was hardly how I ever saw myself leaving Fortuna… But it was for the best…

I've finally been posted in Capulet City for a steady pay so that we can eventually try to rebuild our life together. I want to be able to be there to help and support you. I know this last year has been hard on you and I've wanted to try to make it better for you somehow, but have always come up short.

By leaving alone I'll be able to ensure that you live the rest of your life comfortably, out of harms' way and above all, in peace.

Please don't wait on me for I cannot foresee my return to Fortuna in the near future.

Know deep in your heart Kyrie that I will always Love and cherish our bond together until the day I draw my last breath.

Forever yours

Nero

XOXOXO

This was hardly the time to be writing a goodbye letter, whilst riding the boat to Capulet City Harbor… But If had stayed around to finish and deliver this letter before I left, or delivered the message personally… I probably wouldn't be here right now…

As I circled the Last O on my letter to Kyrie , a feeling of grief struck my core… I was really doing it… Leaving behind Fortuna, not truly knowing when I would ever return. I looked out onto the Island as it ever so slowly faded into the horizon and we were plunged into seemingly Infinite Ocean. Nothing in sight behind us… Nothing ahead of us, we were at the point of no return.

I have to had re-read my letter to Kyrie about a dozen times before I finally placed it into its envelope, folded it together delicately and kissed the seal… The last thing Kyrie would have of mine for quite some time… I missed her already.

"Kyrie…" I whispered into the envelope, as if words would magically be transferred onto the paper that lay within, " I love you…"

My only regret is not telling her that personally.

On towards Capulet City I went… Leaving behind my old life… Heading into the unknown…

"I hardly find this a laughing matter…."That was my immediate response to Lady laughing hysterically at my current living conditions. Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, I would have probably floored her repeatedly for laughing at me at this current moment.

"Oh, but it's just too goddamn hilarious!" she finally managed to get out after regaining her composure, she waved her hand nonchalantly and pressed on through stiff giggles, "I'm sorry, but having that happen to you is like vicarious revenge, I didn't have to personally dish it out, but it finally happened, Serves you right for not paying people when you know damn well you owe them."

"Yeah yeah, A lesson well learned, can I stay here or not?" I demanded through a twitching eye and a balled up fist, which I seriously considered whipping out in this instant.

"No"

Really… No?

"… Your not being serious right now are you." I asked, genuinely baffled by her response… How many times had I let Lady stay at Devil May Cry when she needed a place to crash.

"Yeah, the answers no, I already have someone over and I'm not letting you anywhere near her."

Without another word, Lady closed the door and proceeded to lock it, turning tail back into her apartment…

I knocked again, and yelled through the entrance, "Lady quit your fucking around!"

But I was met with silence; the sound of another door closing from within told me she wouldn't be answering me anytime soon.

So much to my dismay, a cheap hotel was going to have to be the means of living at least for now… how I was going to reroute my calls to a hotel room was beyond me. I wouldn't put it past that crotchety old landlord to have called the phone company already to have my number obliterated… Fucking Bastard…

"Bring me the largest pizza you have, I don't give a fuck if it has olives or not just bring me something loaded…"

I soon regretted ordering that pizza… By the time I'd gotten it, they piled, and I mean piled that it with black and green olives. For spite I'm sure, but this was just plain cruel of them.

So there I was… Picking the excessive olives off my damn pizza as I sat flabbergasted at just how quickly a well meant day could turn into one big clusterfuck…

And As I dug into my well earned meal after having removed the offensive topping, I couldn't help but hope and wish for a better tomorrow… Because god help me if I dare ask if it could get any worse.

No…

God help whoever is moving into what was previously know as Devil May Cry…

Whoever it is won't be there long… I'll see to that.

Well I'm back guys! Hope you enjoy reading this fic, theres lots more to come, please don't hesitate to review, I'd love to see how I'm doing with this one =3
