Fates intertwined

Chapter One: Fate

Vash pulled the trigger on his brother for the last time, he watched as the bullet buried itself down deep into Knives body. Knives gave a low grunt before falling onto a small hill of sand. It was over, finally over. Vash collapsed to the ground, wounded and exhausted. He turned his head slightly to look at his brother, who lay motionless. "Rem, I did it, I can finally rest."

Vash rolled over to his side, pushing himself back up. He made his way to his brother, slowly lifting him. He started making his way back, when something hit him. "What's that!?" Vash dropped Knives and not a moment later. Vash followed suit.

Soooooo... On the first night,
a pebble falls to the earth from somewhere.
Soooooo... On the second night,
The pebble's children hold hands and sketch a waltz.
Sound life
Soooooo... On the third night,
The children of the waltz cause ripples on the face of the world
Soooooo... On the fourth night,
the children of the wave spray the shore.
Sound life
Soooooo... On the fifth night,
those shards strike the face of the earth over and over.
Soooooo... On the sixth night,
those signals bring travelers together.
Sound life.
Soooooo... On the seventh night,
a weightless ship races to the sky
Soooooo... On the eighth morning,
a song from somewhere reaches my ears.
Sound life
Well then... A song that has recorded everythingechoes to the new sky.
Sound life
Sound life

Vash didn't know how long he had been lying there. Rem's song sounded so peaceful, that the concepts of time didn't matter anymore. As his eyes slowly opened, Knives came to mind. Vash quickly jumped to his feet, his eyes searching the area. No Knives. "Oh no!" Vash worriedly said. He ran in every direction like a chicken with its head cut off, screaming at the top of his lungs. "How could I let this happen?! Aw man. He's probably long gone by now." Vash felt a sharp pain go through out his body, he was in such a frantic on finding his brother, that he'd forgotten that he was wounded. "I better take it easy, the next thing I don't want is to pass out from blood loss."

Vash sighed, he couldn't believe what just happened. All this time, all the long years he waited, to now fail because he passed out.

"Stop your whining thoughts! I swear you get worse every day!"

"What the...! Knives!?"

"No, your crazy Vash, I'm just a figment of your imagination." Knives said with disgust.

"Really!? Vash replied happily.

"Are you just playing with me or are you that stupid brother?"

Vash let out a laugh, this was a strange situation, who would have thought. Knives becoming one with him. How did that happen? "I don't know how you got in here, but in a strange way, I'm glad what happened, happened." Vash thought with a smile.

"And why is that, brother? I feel like a caged animal in here, and I don't like the way you think, all these happy thoughts make me want to puke! Why did I get the bad end of this bargain."

"Well first off, you being a part of me, this gives me the advantage of keeping you out of trouble. And the answer to the bargain, well, evil never pays."

Knives didn't comment, instead he remained silent, he didn't want to think, if he did, Vash would know. He was in quite a predicament. He will just have to wait, wait till he can figure something out to get him out of this mess. Vash will one day let his guard down, and when he does, Knives will make his move.
