Chapter Two
Vash all but collapsed to the floor of the small cave after dropping his brother unceremoniously on a small pile of blankets. Knives' glare was heavy due to the abuse but Vash couldn't bring himself to even pretend to care as he curled up against the far wall and stared hard at his gloved right palm.
"Did I do the right thing? Just leaving like that?"
"Of course you did." Knives said, his voice neither comforting nor sympathetic. "You're only real mistake was allowing those Spiders to get so close to you in the first place."
Vash's palm fisted tightly as he lifted his eyes just enough to glare at his evil twin.
"They're not spiders Knives. Don't talk about them like that."
Knives grinned maliciously from where he lay immobile on the stone floor. "What's wrong brother? Do you have feelings for that little insect? Don't worry, when she is dead it won't matter anymore, now will it?"
"Shut up!" Vash's fist slammed to the floor, his voice hard and biting. "I said not to talk about her like that!"
"And what are you going to do about it Vash?" Knives said. "Shoot me again?"
Vash's teeth ground together as blood slowly began to darken his glove where his nails had pierced through to his palm.
"If you keep this up Knives, I just might."
Knives scoffed. "With what, Vash? You left our only weapons to malfunction and rust in the desert. Or don't you recall?"
Vash stared at his brother for only a second before he slowly raised his left arm.
"I don't need that gun to shoot you Knives, you made sure of that twenty years ago. Or don't you recall?"
With nothing to say in response Knives simply remained silent, knowing that Vash's thoughts would torture him far more then Knives' simple words. After all, with all of the things that Vash had put him through recently his brother deserved a little pain. Besides, it wasn't anything that a few decades of time couldn't fix.

Jaythorne: I'm glad that you like it. I hope that you enjoyed the chapter.
hope-is-4ever: I could, but I won't. This is really just a 'what roughly happened' story. It was never meant to be a novel length story. Still, I think it has a pretty good plot. Plus things start to make more sense as the chapters go on. Thanks for the review.
Kaliea: Thanks for your reviews! Till next time, ja ne!
