"Just what in the hell is going on?" Nero asks as I withdraw Yamato from the corpse and dismiss her with but a thought. He moves closer, his steps hesitant, while the human woman puts some considerable distance between us.
I say nothing at first, instead I cast a pointed look at the human woman over my shoulder. She seems to catch on to my silent demand though her expression hardens and she straightens her posture as if in defiance. As much as I want to maintain at least part of Dante's wish for me to not kill his friends I have no patience to deal with her, if at all. "Leave us."
Her jaw tightens slightly and she looks ready to argue with me but with a glance towards Nero, she seems to reconsider. "I swear if you do anything-"
"You'll what? Kill me? Do not presume that whatever affiliation you had with my brother will stay my hand should you threaten me again." Nuisance or not I will not idly stand by and let her even think that she can threaten me. "Now leave, Mary." The timbre of my voice deepens slightly as I draw upon my blood and my power and start to slowly shift to my demon form. It is nothing more than an intimidation tactic but it attains the desired effect. Her leaving.
Nero at the very least knows well enough to wait until she is gone and the doors to the shop are firmly shut before he starts in on me. His expression is both troubled and pensive as he first looks to me and then to my mother's corpse. "Who is Mundus?"
"I don't know whether I should be surprised or disappointed that you're even asking me that." My tone is sharp and has Nero flinching ever so slightly, his gaze snapping back to me. He looks guilty and confused and it is evident that he simply doesn't know. "Of course Dante wouldn't tell you," I surmise mostly to myself.
"Dante didn't tell me a lot of things, including the fact that he was my uncle until he was forced to," Nero grits out bitterly, his gaze flitting away for a scant second. "So no, I don't know who Mundus is."
"Dante had his reasons for wanting to keep certain things from you, perhaps because you were his last living family member at the time and he didn't want to get you involved with the demon that was responsible for our mother's death and had enslaved me for nine years." I watch with disinterest as Nero first gapes at me in shock, only to look away when what I take to be pity flits across his face. "So knowing at least that much try to understand why it is that I don't want to discuss Mundus any further."
The floorboards creak slightly as Nero moves closer to me and it takes everything I have to just stand here and let him approach. He at least stops an arm's length away, his energy fluctuating slightly along with his scent. "I want to say that I understand and that I won't press for answers but you're the only family I have left and I want to know more."
"You should tell him," Dante whispers to me.
"No," I snap out in response to them both and shift my attention back to the corpse still pinned up. I dismiss the summoned swords and catch it in one fluid motion, carefully cradling it to me. "And it is not up for discussion."
Dante gives a soft sigh while Nero's energy spikes and his scent sharpens with anger. "Why not?!"
"Because the details of my life are something I do not wish to share, not even with you," I snarl at him over my shoulder, allowing my energy to flare. "Now if you don't mind, I need to take care of my mother's corpse."
Nero draws back at the glare I send his way, anger simmering in his eyes and bleeding out of him as his energy spikes again. He clenches his jaw, a slight tremor running through him before he spins on his heel and storms out. The slam of the door behind him echoes in the ensuing silence, with a sort of finality that I am okay with. It is for the better with what I will need to do.
