::Chapter Five:: The truth revealed, and Knives' bad doings.



Vash paced back and forth contemplating what had gone on the night before, he'd forgotten it all, but one thing was clear…Akashia wasn't in his room when he woke up. Vash looked up at the knock at his door, "Come in."

Wolfwood entered the room looking tired, "I've been looking all over and I can't find her."

"What happened last night?" Vash asked, true concern showing in his eyes.

"A whore from the bar sat in you're lap and asked you if you needed her 'services' for the night, and I believe that you're exact words were, "I_Think ya might, ma'am_'Cause she's not one to give it up so easily."" Nicholas looked at Vash's face.

"I…can't believe I said that…I can't believe how much I hurt her…Oh god…I've gotta find her Nick." He muttered grabbing his red coat and heading out the door.

Akashia sat staring out the window of the kitchen, Milly walked in with cookies, "I thought these might help Miss Akashia." She said brightly. How can one person always see the happiness in life? She still has so much innocence. Akashia thought sadly, I wish I could be like her.

"Miss Akashia?"

"Akashia…Just Akashia please, Milly." Milly smiled, "Alright."

"So where is that Idiot anyways?" Meryl asked hotly, "I mean, we're supposed to keep a good eye on him, but with him moving around all the time it kind of makes our job hard."

"He's used to this life, and I don't think he'll stop…And…And I don't want to talk about him…right now." Meryl looked at Akashia, remembering the story she had told them, when she ran into them in the street, "Alright Akashia…I'm sorry."

"It's okay…I appreciate the hospitality, but I think I should be going now, I don't want to over stay my welcome." She murmured getting up and grabbing her coat and hugging Milly and Meryl before she left.

~*~*~

Vash turned the corner sharply, not looking out where he was going, when he slammed into someone, sending them flying to the ground with a loud thud.

"Shoot! I'm sorry! Here Let m-" He waited for the dust to settle, and realized it was Akashia, "Akashia! Thank god! I thought you were gone to another town or-"

"What? Found a man-whore to pleasure me for the night Vash?…Think that I would stoop to that level? No. I stayed at Meryl and Millys."

"Do those girls ever give up?" He asked himself aloud.

"Don't change the subject, Vash…What you did last night was hurtful, and I don't know why you'd do that…No…I know why…You were drunk…And you weren't thinking."

He nodded.

"But that isn't enough…First Marianne, and now, that whore! Dammit Vash! I've never cried so much in my life…"

"I'm sorry Akashia, I really am…I never meant to hurt you, I didn't even remember what happened last night!"

She glanced up, "You didn't?"

"No, not a clue, until Nick told me."

He picked her up in his arms, "Forgive and forget?"

"I don't know if I'll forget, but I can try forgiving…" She murmured.

"Yay!" He hollered happily.
~*~ Back at the Saloon, in the bedroom.~*~

"Milly and Meryl told me some interesting news today…" The ebony haired beauty sighed laying down on the bed.

"Really, and what was that 'Shi?" Vash asked rolling over on his side to look at her face.

"Do you know a guy named Knives?" She questioned looking into his eyes.

A heavy silence settled on the two, "Knives" Vash finally choked out.

"You know him?" She asked looking shocked.

"He's…He's my brother."

"Oh my god." She moaned thrusting her head into a pillow, "Damnit damnit damnit DAMNIT!"

"Why what happened?" Vash asked worriedly

"He's been going on killing spree's, killing anyone that gets in his way, he's bent on getting rid of the human population." She murmured roughly, as though it was hard to believe the two were siblings.

"He has to have some help, he can't do it alone." He grit his teeth in frustration.

"Yeah, he has help…Legato," She shuddered at the name…Remembering her past, "Legato Bluesummers."

"Legato Bluesummers?" Vash looked confused…as usual.

"Yes, he's supposed to have telepathic and telekinetic powers…He made a man shoot himself in the foot before, another time, he made a man kill himself…He's evil incarnate."

"Knives must be stopped."

"Well no shit Sherlock!" Akashia growled.

"And I'll be the one to stop him."
