(V's POV)

Dante had asked him to keep the shop open, in case some jobs were available, as they went looking for the new member of the crew, not saying anything else. The legendary devil hunter had prepared the small room near the poet's during the last week, mumbling some things about an old debt of his and V was curious. Why did Dante needed a new comrade ? Trish and Lady were there to help, and he recently purpose his aid too....

The black haired man sat in the couch, reading and waiting to meet the newcomer. There was a few boxes that still needed to be moved upstairs but those damn things were too heavy for him. It made him feel weak, after the fight against Urisen he had gained back the remaining power of his demon half and wasn't a half soul anymore, but he was still the frail human part of Vergil, still not able to fight on his own, not much strength in his body compared to what he had before...

'Stop with that, Shakespeare and enjoy being alive for once.' Griffon's voice rang into his head, 'Or take a look of what's inside those damned boxes to see what it is.'

His companion was right, he should be grateful to be alive and healthy, having his own life now to take amend of his crimes.

"I won't look inside those boxes to satisfy your own curiosity, Griffon." He softly spoke.

'Scared to find panties ?' The demonic bird mocked him, 'I just hope it's not books. Dealing with your reading things is enough.'

Few hours later, the poet heard a familiar voice behind the door, they were finally back.

"There you are, welcome to Devil May Cry. There's another person you'll meet, don't worry, he's weird but not dangerous, you'll kick him off much easier than Lady." Dante said, passing through the door with the two girls.

The door stayed open as the last person entered, carefully, scanning the whole area as V stood up, taking his cane and closing his book, ignoring the raillerie. What he saw was clearly not something he could have imagined.

What a surprise, how such a lovely and frail looking girl can be a hunter, I can not understand.

'Frail ? Speak for yourself, ha' His talkative companion's thoughts pushed against his.

"V, this is Lilith...." The white haired man began.

V move forward to meet and greet her, planning to kiss her hand like a gentlemen when his eyes caught a flash of light, stepping back in time to notice the blade of a small dagger at the exact place his head was, he glanced at the girl who had drawn a few inches back. She was ready to attack, the dagger in front of her and a hand reaching for something on her belt, he couldn't see her eyes behind those black sunglasses but she looked ..... scared and angry.
