Sat 18th Part 4 - Empress Rank 1

I do not own Devil May Cry and Persona, only the OCs that will appear in this story and the concept were inspired by 'Lesson Time: Never follow your teacher home' in 'Vergil's one-shots' by ZerlinaQuinn. So, I hope this turns out okay... now enjoy my guild.

Vergil decides to just head to the clinic as he doesn't know where he sees Jana getting ready for work. He sighs and says, "Jana... you forgot to give me your address..."

"Oh... my apologies," Jana apologised, "I got stressed out from work, so I forgot. Don't worry, I have my sister take care of my daughter and my clinic isn't too far from here,"

"Good, let's just go then," Vergil spoken.

"Right," Jana replied as she turns to the receptionist, "I'll be back soon,"

"Okay, be quick," The Receptionist told her, "Your next appointment is coming in twenty minutes,"

"Of course," Jana replied.

Jana leads Vergil out of the clinic and head to her car, where the two go back to her place.

(Later)

Jana unlocks the door to her flat for Vergil as they see a older woman playing with a two-years-old girl who looks a lot like Jana, but with green eyes, slightly paler skin and don't have the white streaks. The little girl wears a neon green dress with pink shoes and black socks.
"Ah, there you are!" The older woman said as she stands up and walk towards Jana, "Is this the babysitter?"

"Yes," Jana replied.

"Wow, I never thought you're that desperate, considering your distrust of men," The woman pointed out.

"... Just go please," Jana told her off.

"Now that I think about it... I can see why," The older woman teased her, "He's a very handsome young man, he looks like a keeper,"

"Just... go!"

"Okay, okay!" The older woman said as she leaves the house.

Vergil takes a look at her and Jana looks back with her eyebrow raise.

> Are you married?
> Is the child...?
> You hate men?

"Are you married?" Vergil asked bluntly.

"I WAS married," Jana answered, "I'm in the middle of a divorce process. I'm trying to gain custody over our daughter since he's... actually, it's for personal reasons,"

"Ah, got it," Vergil understood.

"Mummy! Mummy!" The little girl cried out cheerfully as she waddles to her mother.

"Hello Kayla," Jana greeted her with a soft smile.

"Mm... who's that, mama?" The girl named Kayla asked.

"... I'm your caretaker," Vergil answered her question.

"... C... Ca... ta..." Kayla struggles to pronounced the word.
"It means I'm going to stay here with you while your mother is at work," Vergil told her.

"Yay!" Kayla cheered as she suddenly hugs his leg.

"... Umm... is this normal...?" Vergil asked Jana.

"She's the cuddling type," Jana told him, "Just give her constant hugs and it should be fine,"

"... I hate hugs..." Vergil thought, "I am so going to kill Jerome after this,"

"Well, I'll be off," Jana told him, "Goodbye and Kayla, don't be afraid to tell me if he's being mean to you, okay?"

"Ok! Bye-bye!" Kayla replied as her mother leaves and locks the door. She looks up at Vergil and asks, "Up! Up!"

"..."

> Up? Up what?
> Pick her up

Vergil picks her up and Kayla cheers happily as she starts making aeroplane noises. Vergil sighs of annoyance and reluctantly walk around while holding her as if she's a plane.

(Later)

"Down! Down!" Kayla cheered and Vergil puts her down.

"Finally..." Vergil thought, "I was getting sick of that annoying noise..."

"Ahem..."

"Oh right, you don't know my name," Vergil realised, "I'm Vergil,"

"V... Ve... Vergy!" Kayla cried out, as she walks away to grab a strange looking doll of a pig with a horse head, "This is Mr Pigse!"

"... Pig... se...?" Vergil asked, "Why... Ahem... don't you want a... pretty one...?"

"Nope!" Kayla answered, "Its ugly! I love it!"

"... I see..." Vergil replied. "So... what's going on with your father?"

"... F... fa...?"

"... Daddy..." Vergil groaned awkwardly.

"Ah!" Kayla realised, then shrugged, "I don't know... daddy isn't with me and mummy..."
"Mmm..." Vergil muttered, "She did mention she's getting a divorce... I wonder why..."

"I miss daddy..." Kayla pouted, "Mummy don't let me see daddy!"

"You know something, you talk a lot more then a normal toddler,"

"Read a lot!" Kayla answered happily, "Mummy, a lot of books!"

"Got it... don't you mean 'mummy has a lot of books'," Vergil corrected.

"..." Kayla pouted, "M... has... ahem... WAHHHHH!!!"

Kayla started crying out of frustration very loudly, much to Vergil's annoyance and horror. Bucky suddenly pops out of the bag and looks at him.
"Vergil... do you even know how to take care of a two years old?!" Bucky asked him harshly.

> No
> Does my brother count?
> Do I look like I did babysitting before?!

"Do I look like I did babysitting before?!" Vergil asked back.

"... Good point..." Bucky replied.

Kayla continues crying very loudly, making Vergil puts his hands on his ears, along with Bucky doing the same thing. Vergil looks at the rabbit, then looks back at Kayla, then he realises something as he suddenly grabs Bucky.
"H-Hey!!!" Bucky cried out.

"Hey! Kayla! Kayla!" Vergil panicked, for the first time in his entire life, as he shoves Bucky into Kayla's arms.

Kayla's eyes is widen and stares at Bucky, where she gasps and hugs him tightly as she finally stops crying.
"Bunny!" Kayla cheered.

"H-Help... me..." Bucky struggled.

(Later)

Jana unlocks the door and sees Vergil sitting on the couch reading a newspaper while Kayla is drawing on a paper with crayons. Jana sighs and walks up to Kayla.
"Was everything good?" Jana asked her daughter.

"Hi mummy!" Kayla greeted her, "Vergy good!"
"That's good," Jana said as she kisses her forehead. She stands up and looks at Vergil, "Thank you,"

"No problem," Vergil replied.

"Mmm... how does eight dollars per hour sound?" Jana asked.

"... Sure," Vergil answered.

Vergil stands up with Bucky in the bag while Jana gives him fifty-seven dollars to him. Vergil accepts it and heads out.
"Goodbye, Vergil," Jana said.

"Wait, I want to ask..." Vergil said.

"... Yes?"

"Who is your ex husband?" Vergil asked.
"... His name is Leo Marcello," Jana answered, "Of course, I strongly prefer being called Miss Bello, and planning on returning to my official maiden name after the divorce,"

"Alright then," Vergil replied, "But why are you divorcing him?"

"... As if you would understand..." Jana replied with a hostile tone before locking the door.

"... Ugh... no answer..." Vergil groaned.

I am thou, thou art I... Thou hast acquired a new vow.

It shall become the power of strength that breaketh thy limits of mankind.

With the birth of the Empress Arcana, I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to great power...

(Empress arcana - Rank 1 end)

"There it is..." Vergil thought, and says, "Let's go home, Bucky,"

"Finally!" Bucky groaned, "Thanks for nothing!"

"You welcome," Vergil replied back sarcastically.

A/N - Sorry for the delay and I tried my best making Kayla seem like a normal two years old, but even I have difficulty with it. It's my first time writing for a two years old, k?

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed it and if you did, leave a comment and have a good day, my guild. Aqua out!
