| CHAPTER THREE | |||||||||||||||
| Who could Knives be talking about, find who? She was thinking to herself when his threat registered in her head. Whole new thoughts formed in her head and she again started talking to herself, �Would he actually kill me? No, what reason would he have to? But what reason does he have to keep me alive? He obviously needed me of else he wouldn�t have threatened me.� | |||||||||||||||
| Knives stood up and escorted Rem into her new room. �It has a window,� He said to her while smiling, �But don�t try to escape.� His expression suddenly changed and his eyes were all but flaming. �If you even think about escaping to find him, I�ll kill you.� He smirked at her as if it were a joke as he left the room shutting the door behind him. | |||||||||||||||
| Before she could continue on any longer Legato walked into her room and smiling whispered into her ear, �So, how are you finding your new room?� She jumped when she first heard him, but she looked around the room anyway. She hadn�t even though to look around, the only thing worthwhile in the dungeon was her �bed�, and in here it seemed the same way. That was, until she looked at the wall under the window. When she saw it a huge grin broke out on her face. | |||||||||||||||
| �I�ll take it you like them then?� He said whilst walking over to the red geraniums. �I have something to say to you Rem.� She took her gaze off the flowers and focused it on Legato. �Okay?� �I would like to thank you for helping out my master when he was young,� He came closer to her, and his smile seemed to grow larger, �But, if you do anything to upset him now that you�re up here, I will make the rest of your stay here as miserable as possible. | |||||||||||||||
| �What is with all these death threats?� She asked herself after Legato closed the door and his footsteps faded away. To calm herself down, she took a whiff of the flowers and after a little while she slept in their fragrance. | |||||||||||||||
| She awoke to find Knives standing over her, and she was in a bed. Not like the one she had from the dungeon, but a real bed with soft blankets and pillows. �How was your sleep?� Knives asked. Rem thought she heard a sense of sarcasm, but ignored it. �I�m not sure, I don�t remember any dreams.� �That�s because you didn�t have any. I took them away�� He paused for a second and continued, ��so that you could rest peacefully. You did, for almost two days.� �Two days?� She responded in an almost shrill voice and jumped out of bed and looked around the room. It was different. | |||||||||||||||
| �This bed wasn�t here when I went to sleep.� She told Knives. He nodded, �Very perceptive. I had it brought it yesterday morning, after I saw you sleeping in the flowers. I myself would have preferred to sleep in them, but I assumed you�d rather have a bed.� �Oh, well thank you.� She said almost nervously, he seemed to be looking deep inside her, almost as if he was studying her soul. �Now that you�re up Rem, you have some work that I need you to do. |
|||||||||||||||
| Together they walked out of the room, and she followed him back into the dungeon. �Don�t worry; I�m not leaving you in here.� Rem let out a relieved sigh and picked up her pace. He opened a door that she had not noticed while down there and they walked though it back into another door. They appeared to be going downhill, and it became really cold. The ceiling was beginning to drip when they finally came to another door. Knives pushed a button, or what Rem thought was a button, she never really saw it, and a ladder came down out of the ceiling. | |||||||||||||||
| Knives climbed up it, and told Rem to come up after him. �This is where I keep my special things.� He said as he grabbed her hand and helped her up. When she came up, she looked around and noticed a picture of someone she recognized on the wall. Before Knives could stop her, she went over and read it. �$$60,000,000? What�s that supposed to be?� She looked at Knives curiously. �That�s the money used on this planet. Gunsmoke, as the humans call it. It�s based on Earth money. I think it is symbolizing that it is like earth, but it is also different. I don�t know, actually I don�t really care.� �Who�s that a picture of?� Before Knives could answer she looked at the top and read it out loud, �Vash the Stampede. Is that your brother Knives, it that Vash?� He nodded and she continued reading it. �Why is he �wanted dead or alive? Vash would never do anything bad; he was always such a good boy. What could he have possibly have done to have such an enormous bounty on him?� �You�ll find out soon enough Rem, but first, let�s introduce you to the Gun-Ho-Guns. | |||||||||||||||
| CHAPTER FOUR | |||||||||||||||
| Knives grabbed Rem by her arm and pulled her to another door. "Right behind here is where I train all of my Gun-Ho-Guns." "Gun-Ho-Guns?" She looked at him questionably. "Yes, I'm going to start using them soon. They're job is to bring Vash back to me. Take him out of the human world and back into mine." "But if he's done something wrong, why would you want him back?" "Mistakes can be fixed Rem." Knives opened the tall steel door and brought her into a dark damp room. | |||||||||||||||
| She walked in and looked around at all the people, or what she assumed were people. Everyone here seemed so different. She studied the room and recognized someone in the back that seemed to be supervising everyone. She had tosuppress her urge to call out to him. "Legato," Knives called out to the man Rem was looking at, "Please introduce her to everyone." | |||||||||||||||
| Hearing Knives voice and the calmness in it startled everyone in the room. Although he seemed different right now, nobody dared to say anything or even move unless spoken too. Legato, who seemed to be the only one unfazed by Knives quickly came to the entrance of the room and stood next to Rem. "Hello." He whispered to her in an almost sultry voice and smiled at her. She smiled back and him and looked back at everyone in the room. "Everyone, come here so I can introduce you to Rem. Master Knives brought her here to help us bring Vash to our side." | |||||||||||||||
| Everyone else in the room quickly formed a semi-circle in front of the three and bowed their heads down. Knives looked at the group and turned to Legato. "I see Chapel is not here." "Oh yes. Master forgive me!" Legato got on his knees and bowed down to Knives. "I forgot to tell you that he is meeting with Nicholas now. Everything is on schedule. He should be arriving back within the hour master. Although the priest did put up a struggle, we fixed what was holding him back." Knives smiled and looked back over his Gun-Ho-Guns. "Thank you Legato, you may stand up now. I want this done now so everyone can go back to their training. We'll start on the left and go from there. Legato, start." | |||||||||||||||
| Legato put his hand out and it seemed like he was pulling the man forward with an invisible string. 'But that can't be possible.' Rem said to herself and watched as the man stepped forward. He was really tall; she didn't even try to guess his height. He also didn't seem to have much of a face. Two black things for eyes, maybe. She has no idea what he was. "Gray the Nine Lives." Legato said, as if answering her question. The man seemed to be pushed back into the crowd of people. "You're dismissed." Knives called to him, and Gray left through another larger set of steel doors. | |||||||||||||||
| The next two creatures that came up looked very strange to Rem. They were both in closed in something. She would only see the head of one. "E. G. Mine." And the other one, "Hoppered the Gauntlet." If he was human, his legs were so disfigured, or were those arms? It was all so confusing to her. After they left, "Monev the Gale." stepped forward. 'Why does he have all that stuff on him?' She asked herself, 'Why does everyone look so weird?' | |||||||||||||||
| Before she could think anything else "Leonav the Puppetmaster.", and "Cain the Longshot." were introduced. They were more human looking than the other four, but their presence didn't feel human, and Rem was starting to feel very uncomfortable with these things. | |||||||||||||||
| Just then a man in a black suit with strange red eyes walked into the room behind them. "Ah, just on time." Knives called out, not even looking behind him. "Nicholas," The red eyed man started to say. "Later!" Knives cut him off. "Right now we're introducing Rem to everyone. | |||||||||||||||
| Chapel stared at the woman standing between Knives and Legato. "I am Chapel the Evergreen." He bowed to her. "Pleased to meet you, Rem Saverem." She pulled her hand back from him, startled by his openness and studied his gestures. When she wasn't looking, Knives glared at him and he slipped out of the room. | |||||||||||||||
