The night is howling in a cool breeze, and the moon shines brightly in the clear night sky. Fortuna is at peace at this time, no more demons are running here and there. They were cleanse by the two famous demon hunters, Dante and Nero. These two men became instant celebrities when they brought down the Sanctus and his False Saviour. That was at least two months ago. Nero fend off the remaining demons in the city since then but recently many were appearing all at once and Kyrie suggested calling Dante again to help him fight off the increasing numbers.
Now Dante was back at Fortuna, along with his companions Trish and Lady. The three of them are helping Nero clear out the demons that frequently popping up, like popcorn on a microwave. Right now, the two men just cleared several bars and brothels filled with demons. And they were thrill by the challenge they've given them.
"Man, that was intense I tell you, scarecrows were not that challenging compare to those vermin!" Nero exclaimed.
Dante put his hands behind his head as if he was relaxing. "Yeah, you had your fun kid. But to me it's just too displeasing." he shrugged.
"Yeah, you're no fun old man" Nero rolled his eyes at him. He knew Dante seen much worst than him, and he knew Dante is more experienced than him and been in tough situations before, so for him it's just playing Lego blocks.
By now they are arriving at Nero's house. He noticed that the lights were already on suggesting Kyrie is at home. He sighed deeply and relaxed, "Home Sweet Home!" he said while spreading his hands.
Kids Dante thought then an idea comes to mind, No fun huh? Let me show you how fun I am! He evilly smirks "You know those girls at the brothel, must have a thing on you. After you defeated those demons they jumped on you like pumas ready eat their prey."
By now they reached the doorstep, and Nero made a fatal mistake. Instead of waving Dante goodbye, he stayed there chatting to him, taking his bait. Bad move.
"Yeah they did" he smugly said, "You know, some them are looking pretty good, if you remove their make up too much." He said shrugging.
"True, that's the idea..."
"If I wasn't committed to Kyrie, I would have swarming around that cute girl, you know with the glasses. She is so cute." Nero said, thinking about one of the girls who gave him a shy smile. "I bet they are all swarming at me, if I'm single." He said with confidence
"No they've swarm over me, and I'm not-..." suddenly Dante's face became Mortified as he stares at Nero "Uhh, kid..." he said, slowly raising a hand to point at someone behind Nero.
In their conversation, they failed to noticed the door behind Nero opened and Kyrie stepped out with a loving smile, but as soon she heard Nero saying about swarming other girls, her smile was replace by a dark expression. Something that even Dante would never tackle with.
"Kid..." he tried again.
"What? Stop calling me kid, and what's with your shock expression, as if you seen a ghost..." he trailed off, and then realization hit him like a thousand swords impaling through him."Kyrie's behind me is she?" he said in a scared tone. He visibly gulped, he's doomed.
Dante just nodded and excuse himself out, "Yeah, well see you around kid." He turned quickly walked away. "Nice knowing you" he muttered to himself.
"Wait I-..." he was cut short when suddenly two death grip hands grabbed his both shoulders from behind. Pain felt through him and he felt it pass through her like swords impaling her.
"What was that about other girls?" Kyrie asked in a death chilling calm voice. Her gripped is tightening on him making him wince in pain. She not a person who would explode like a super nova, she is the person who solves conflicts in calmest way. While Nero resolves the opposite of her approach but right now, she had enough. The thought of Nero flirting on other girls is disturbing let alone he thought of his life if he hadn't been with her and that hurt her the most.
And now, she was going make him feel felt that pain in more ways than one. "We need to talk" she said again making Nero's spine froze solid. She dragged her inside the house and closes the door behind him. Indeed it was the end of Nero.
Dante was already 30 meters away from Nero's home when he heard a blood hurtling scream of agony coming from his house. He just shrugged and continued walking onwards, "Yup, nice knowing you kid."
Nero woke up seeing white light bursting to his eyes "I am dead?" he asked. Then he heard her sweet but ice cold voice.
"No, you're in hell!" she said angrily at him as she stomped towards the kitchen.
He sat up, rubbing his eyes. Everything came back to him, he found himself in the living room. Sleeping on the couch since Kyrie told him to sleep there. Then his head hurts, as well as his nose and his torso. He looked under his shirt seeing multiple bruises on his chest. A long bruised that dance across his torso, he remembered Kyrie hitting him with a broomstick several times. Then she punched him in the nose, making it ache badly, before punching him again in torso while cursing and accusing him of cheating of all other things. He was baffled as he found his beloved curse so violently, usually she never curses at all! Nero pushed all her button accidentally and it seems she lost her cool for good, he frighten him to the core. A woman's wrath is really something, it is much worst than an army of demons, even multiplying Sanctus and his False Saviour twenty times the number is not enough to compare.
He remembered that when she was done with her beating: "You will sleep here! Forever! As much as I wanted you to sleep outside for what you've done! And you will be grounded for a month, no nonsense just here in the house. Are we CLEAR!?" she said in a surprisingly serious tone. He just nodded meekly and she stomped upstairs.
"NERO!" she heard her shouted his name making him crashing back to reality. He looked up to see the angry face of Kyrie staring at him. He could literally see fires dancing in her eyes; he knew that if she could shoot fires out her eyes, she would gladly burn him to crisp.
He recoiled back at the couch in shock. Kyrie's eyes burned even further. "I want you to clean the house! You will not eat until everything is spotless I MEAN EVERYTHING!" she said in threatening tone.
Nero, despite himself couldn't help but stare at her with dreamy eyes. She's even cuter when she is seething in rage. Her voice is still cute even in angry. Guess she is not the angry looking type of person. For staring at her absentminded, Kyrie growled deep and slapped him in the face.
"Ow what!?" he exclaimed, obviously missing her instructions.
"JUST CLEAN THE HOUSE YOU IDIOT!" she screamed at him before stomping out of the door slamming it shut loudly that the coat stand fell on the floor. Nero stared at the fire place in front of him, Flabbergasted. Before looking around the house, it was completely a mess. The furniture was all dusty, the picture frames, as well as the knick knack were also dirty and dusty. Kyrie doesn't have the time to cleaned them for she has been busy helping the charity for rebuilding Fortuna.
He groaned frustratingly and stood up and headed to the kitchen to grabbed breakfast. But he was disappointed when he found the kitchen empty. Kyrie hid all the food in the kitchen in place where he can't find it.
"Damn!" he said, before his stomach grumble. He was hungry and there was no food to be found. He decided to go out to buy, but her words circled around him. He must stay home, he's grounded. He sighed sadly, 'Me and my Big mouth'. He turned back and looked at the house again. He took off his red hoodie. He lifted the sleeves of his shirt and knuckled his knuckles. His devil bringer is glowing brightly as if it accepted the challenge Kyrie threw at it.
"Here we go." He muttered before diving in the mess of the house.
Kyrie arrived home by late afternoon. She expecting Nero was not around, probably escaping her rampage but he wasn't for her eyes went wide at the sight before her. The entire house was internally remodelled. The walls have new coat of paint, the furniture were rearranged and it smelled pleasantly as Nero sprayed fragrance all over the place. No dust and cobwebs were visible as far as she could see.
She wandered around the house. She smiled as every part of it was refurbished and remodelled. The kitchen, the bedroom, Dinning room and the bathroom were just as remarkable. Everything was rearranged properly, neat and tidy as ever. Then he noticed Nero was missing.
"Nero!" she whispered. She rushed down the house only to find him sleeping on the one side of the couch, he was sitting on the floor. He was drooling and snoring loudly. He was still holding the broomstick and hugging it as if was a pillow.
Her soften a little as she looked down at the poor sleeping Nero. His devil bringer arm glowed golden low light in rhythm with his breathing. Kyrie grabbed her leather coat and wrapped it around him. She then grabbed a pillow from the couch and carefully placing it on his head, taking the broom from him. Before she left, she planted a soft kiss on his forehead. Nero mumbled gibberish after the kiss and cuddled the jacket close to him, taking in the sweet cherry scent, her scent.
She continued upstairs to retire for the night. She had to admit, the house looked better than before this incident. But a sudden dread washed over her as she was reminded the words Nero said the night before. Her eyes glared again, he wasn't not off the hook yet. The remodelling of the house is just the beginning of what she planned for him, and she is going to make sure he suffers it. No one mess with a woman's feeling especially fear them of their wrath.
