Milly awoke early the next morning. She always made breakfast for everyone beforee that all left for work. She quietly walked down the hall.
Everyone would be awake in an hour or so, so she needed to start breakfast soon. As she crept down the hall, she felt a hand grab her shoulder.
She gasped in surprise, and turned to see who it was.

"Knives!" She quietly yelled.

"What are you doing?"

Milly smiled.

"I should ask you the same thing. I am going to make breakfast. I do all the cooking and cleaning around here."

Knives smiled.

"Well...then...can I...uhm...helpyoucook."

Milly looked taken aback by Knives.

"What did you say?"

Knives sighed. He was really hating himself right now. SO many feelings coursed through his body. All of them for this spider.

"May I help you cook?"

Milly smiled at him.

"Well, if you think you're up to it, you can help me."

Knives smiled. What the hell was wrong with him? He was being lead down the hallway and into the small kitchen by a spider, that he
felt things for! This was Millions Knives for heavens sake! He was the one who wanted all of mankind destoryed. He wanted all humans dead.
How could he want to be with one of these things? Suddenly he heard fingures snapping, and he was awoken from his musings by Milly.

"Knives, if you want to help, you need to pay attention to me. Now, do you know how to cook eggs?"

Knives nodded. For a while he cood breakfast for Legato. Of course this was while Legato was still a little kid.

"Legato,"

Knives started, while waiting for Milly to hand him the eggs.

"Used to eat these when he was a kid. And now, Legato's dead. He's dead, becasue of me."

Knives felt tears run down his face. He felt fingures wiping them away.

"Knives, it's ok."

Knives sobbed, and sank to the floor. Milly turned off the stove, and sat with him on the floor. She held him close.

"It's not ok Milly. I made him die. Becasue of me, Nick is dead. Becasue of me, Rem is dead. How can you and Vash just be so forgiving?
I killed people important to you, and yet you just tell me it's ok? How can you people live with these emotions? I can't! That's why I hate all
humans! They seem to hurt others, and when they do, the people they hurt just forgive them! It's irrational!"

Knives' screaming had awoken Vash, and Meryl. Milly just sat on the floor with tears in her eyes. No one had ever yelled at her. Knives was
standing now, and he couldn't believe what he just said. He walked out of the room quickly.

"Knives wait."

Vash tried to go after him, only to have Knives snap.

"No vash! Stay away from me for a while. I need to think."

Knives slammed his door shut. Meryl had sat on the floor next to Milly. Vash joined them. He hugged Milly tightly as she sobbed into his shoulder.

"Milly sweetie. It'll be ok. Knives is going through alot right now. You know? Milly, please don't be angry with him. Whatever he said,
I'm sure he didn't mean."

Vash tried his best to calm her down. He knew what Knives was like when he yelled. He could be pretty scary.

"Vash? Can I speak with you in private?"

He nodded.

"Meryl, could you please make breakfast for today? I'm sorry. I can't do it."

Meryl nodded. She was going to be there for Milly as well. She knew that Milly never really got yelled at as a child. And since she had such
a big heart, it was hard to get mad at her. Vash and Milly walked down the hall. They were headed for Milly's room. As they walked down the
hall, they had to pass Knives' room. She stopped for a second and heard him crying. Milly felt the tears well up again.

"No no. Come on Milly."

They reached her room, and Milly sat down on her bed. Vash shut the door, and sighed. He joined her on the bed.

"Now, what's wrong Milly?"

"Knives. He..."

She started to cry. She didn't know why.

"Milly. Sweetie, you need to understand things. Knives, he wasn't always the nicest to humans. And he took Rem away from me. And he made
me use the angel arm to destroy July and Agusta. And then, he killed Nick. But Milly, he is is trying to get over doing all of that. He is trying
to learn to live wit humans. You need to be patient with him. You want to know what he told me last night?"

Milly nodded her head. She really had to know what Knives said.

"He told me what he feels. He said that he felt different things for you. He feels like he loves you. He's afraid of the new feelings Milly. He
isn't used to them yet. Just hang in there Milly. Knives will come around one day. He has too get his feelings in order first."

Milly nodded. Vash hugged her one more time.

"You going to be ok now?"

He pulled back enough to look into Milly's eyes.

"Yes. Thank you Vash."

Vash smiled as he got up.

"You're welcome."

He walked out of the door. Milly wasn't sure what to do yet, but she was going to find a way to get Knives into her life.
