Chapter 1 - Limbo City Memorial Cemetery: Night
The moonlight shines down on the Limbo City Memorial Cemetery bathing the cemetery in a beautiful very peaceful white glow. Raven walks to the entrance gate to see it locked. She can see that the padlock hadn't been tampered with, and she wasn't going to mess with it. So Raven backs up from the gate some then she runs at the gate full speed, and just as she reaches the gate Raven then jumps over the gate without much trouble. As she's about to land Raven quickly flips in midair, and lands on her feet. Raven stays still as she listens for anything unusual such as any demonic cults trying to summon any demons, any grave robbers attempting to rob the dead this late at night and any...zombies. In both of Raven's hands are her guns Vengeance, and Avenger. When Raven is sure that she didn't hear anything or sense anything out of the ordinary or unusual she holstered Vengeance and Avenger back under her trenchcoat, and then very silently and respectfully she walked pasted the graves.
Raven walks towards the back of the graveyard where people seem to avoid for a reason during the day or at night. Raven never really understands the reason why people never walked back there. She had heard people talk though about her family, and how her parents dissevered to have died by being massacred by the same demons that they fought. Raven shakes her head to clear it. She came to pay her respects to her parents not to have these angered feelings. As Raven nears the back of the cemetery she sees the beautiful weeping willow that has two graves underneath it. As she approached Raven takes off her dark shades, and puts them in her trenchcoat pocket then she removes two beautiful white roses and when she stops at the graves she puts one of the roses on her father's grave, and the second one on her mother's grave. Raven then feels tears in her eyes as she looks at the names on both of the graves. The first grave read: Here lies Dante Sparda. A loving father and husband who is sorely missed. The other grave read: Here lies Delia Sparda. A loving, caring wife, and mother may you rest in peace.
Raven lets out her tears as she finally let herself express her grief. Raven collapses on the ground in front of her parent’s graves just crying her heart out, and letting out all the pain and suffering that she endures in the safety of the quiet cemetery. After what seemed like hours of crying she wipes her eyes, and gets to her feet then she walks away from the graves. As she walks back to the locked gate a slight breeze picks up and ruffles her hair gently, and it also caresses her face lightly as well. Raven stops at the locked gate, and just as before she backs away from the gate then runs towards it. As Raven nears it she jumps over it and as she heads to the ground she flips in midair to land on her feet once again but before she leaves the cemetery for the night Raven turns around and takes one last long look at the cemetery. After a minute she then turns around, and walks away without looking back. Raven then disappears like a shadow in the night.

Devil May Cry Office: Morning
The quietness of the office is shattered by the sound of a shower that can be heard in the bathroom. As the sound of the shower is heard being shut off in the back of the office. Then as the quietness is about to settle in again only to be short lived by the sound of a ringing cell phone on an old oak desk that had belonged to Raven's father as had the business office that Raven now owns. Raven comes out of the bathroom dressed in her silver vest, black leather pants with the silver belt, and her black leather combat boots. Around her neck is the amulet that she never parts with, and her hair is hidden by a black towel that she is using to dry her long sliver hair with.
Raven walks over to the desk and slams the side of her fist onto it which causes to the phone to flip into her hand as she flips it open to answer it. She then kicks the chair in to the air which it flips, and lands with the seat up. Raven then sits down pressing talk as she puts her feet on the desk as her father once did, and she spoke to the caller in English.
Raven (Speaking in English)
Devil May Cry. Raven speaking.
Raven listens to the caller on the other end for a few minutes before she shakes her head at the speaker who was offering her a job. Raven then sighs inwardly to herself as she gives the caller her answer.
Raven (Answering)
An undertaker? Sorry laddie. Aye specialize in the disposal of the living. Aye dinna handle the dead. Ye should call somebody else ladddie.
Raven then hits the end button on the cell phone, and closes it with a snap. She then sighs as she then puts her cell down on the desk then grabbing her black leather fingerless gloves that were on the desk she pulls them on. Hearing her stomach growl Raven eyes the pizza box on the desk, and she opens the box to see that there is still veggie pizza in it. Raven then grabs a slice of the veggie pizza as she thinks to herself in Japanese as she eats her favorite veggie pizza.
Raven (Thinking in Japanese)
Kirisuto...eruing karera denwas mainchi....motto ii aru Tifa henka sono kazu.
Raven looks around the office and as she does she raises her right fingerless gloved to the amulet around her neck and clasping the memento of her mother as her eyes fall on a family photo of her parents standing close together, and her father holding her mother close in a loving embrace, and standing in front of them are two kids. Raven sighs as she sees the picture of her parents, herself and her twin brother Sephiroth. Raven finishes the slice of pizza and as she reaches for another slice she then hears a loud feminine voice shout out her name as she takes a bite of veggie pizza then Raven sighs as she recognizes the voice of Tifa Lockheart.
Tifa (Yelling)
RAVEN!
Raven turns her head to see the office door slam open to reveal Tifa Lockheart. Raven can see that Tifa is wearing a black leather jacket, a black low cut tank top, black leather pants, with a black belt, and black leather calf high boots. Tifa's long black hair is pulled back into a pony tail just like Raven's and tied back by a black hair tie. Tifa's hands are covered by black fingerless gloves. However unlike Raven Tifa doesn't wear dark shades to hide her brown eyes from anyone. That includes Raven as she looks around Raven's office, and calls out for Raven.
Tifa (Calling)
Hey, Raven!! Where are ya, ya bum?! You awake?!
Raven sighs as she rolls her eyes at Tifa's actions. Raven then says Tifa’s name to get her attention.
Raven (Calling Tifa's name)
Tifa.
Tifa then looks towards the desk seeing Raven with her feet up on it. Tifa can see that Raven may look relaxed in that position but she can see that Raven's eyes are dangerously narrowed at her, and that she should get to the point right away about why she's here. Tifa then swallows, and takes a deep breath as she then speaks to Raven and asks her a question to start the conversation.
Tifa (Asking Raven)
You up?
Raven sighs inwardly at the stupidity of the question that Tifa just asked her. Raven just shakes her head then responds in a very sarcastic manner to Tifa.
Raven (Sarcastically to Tifa)
No, I'm asleep. Instead of sleepwalking, I sleep eat. How could I sleep with your lips flapping away?!
Raven then glares at Tifa who returns her glare. Raven tries to see why Tifa seems determined of something that Raven can't seem to figure out what. So Raven just shakes her head then sighs and asks Tifa a question.
Raven (Asking Tifa)
Sigh...What do you want anyway?
Tifa eyes light up with excitement when she hears Raven's question but she knew she had to be careful to not give anything away as she then glares at Raven. Tifa then responds to Raven's question.
Tifa (Responding)
What do I want? The job! The job!
Raven then rolls her eyes at Tifa's response. Raven mentally kicked herself as she had only just now figured out why Tifa looked to determine as she barged right into her office. Raven then takes a deep breath, and asks Tifa the question.
Raven (Asking Tifa)
The job?
Tifa just rolls her eyes in annoyance at Raven but she can see that Raven is being one hell of a pain of an ass out of habit. Tifa sighs at how stubborn Raven can be about a job whenever she brings her a work offer. Tifa then sighs as she takes a breath and asks Raven a question of her own.
Tifa (Asking Raven)
What are you deaf?
Raven narrows her eyes at Tifa as she holds a tomato juice bottle in her left fingerless gloved hand as she brings it up to her mouth and takes a long drink from it. She then lowers it and with a sigh she glares at Tifa remembering the job offer that Tifa had brought to her. Raven then shakes her head, and slumps in her chair. Then Raven keeping her eyes narrowed at Tifa replies to her.
Raven (Replies)
Oh...That job...
Tifa can see the look on raven's face that she's giving her. Tifa then rolls her eyes as she knew that Raven will give in because of her empty fridge, and her empty stomach will convince Raven then she ever could. Tifa can also see that Raven was about to give in as well. So Tifa then responded to Raven's sullen face look.
Tifa (responding to Raven's look)
C'mon now! Don't give me that look! If you're gonna whine about how you don't take "boring" jobs anymore, then can it!
Tifa then smiles at Raven with a lot of excitement in her brown eyes. Raven then sighs as Tifa keeps putting the pressure on her to keep her from telling her no,
Tifa (Cont'd)
You should be elated, seeing as how this is our first job in three months! Raven...would it kill you to leave this filthy room and go grab some U.V. once in a while?
Raven just glares at Tifa after she says this but Tifa knew that she was wearing Raven down, and winning Raven over. Plus the smell of the office was really getting to her.
Tifa (Cont'd)
Or maybe even crack a window? It smells like corn chips and ass in here!
Tifa can see from the look on Raven's face that told her that she won. Tifa then points a finger at Raven with a smug look on her face as she tells Raven where she can find her.
Tifa (Cont'd)
Look...if you want me, me and my offended nose will be at the regular place. But don't make me wait too long 'kay? 'Cuz if I wait too long, I'll end up plastered, and then there go all our profits, eh?
Tifa then turned, and leaves Raven's office without saying goodbye. Raven sighs and just shakes her head. Raven sets down the empty tomato juice bottle on the desk as her stomach suddenly growls with hunger. Raven then looks down at her two guns Vengeance, and Avenger on the desk as well as the empty tomato juice bottle then she gets up, and walks to her mini fridge. She stops in front of it, and pulls it open to see noting inside of it. Raven then sighs as she grabs Vengeance and Avenger off the desk holstering them, and then grabs her leather trenchcoat from the coat rack by the door. Raven then grabs Rebellion from the hooks on the wall where it hangs, and puts it on her back. Raven then does one last thing she then reaches into her trenchcoat pocket, and pulls out a black hair tie. Raven quickly pulls her sliver hair back tying it back with the hair tie. Then Raven puts on her dark shades, and walks out the door of her shop into the welcoming night of the city.
