Ello! I'm back!
Damien: Well it didn't take you as long this time did it?
Crazy (me): Nope and I'm proud! Oh and it's thanks to the reviews I got! Reviews motivate me!
Damien: Enough to where you'll consider their ideas for this story?
Crazy: Maybe! If they are good ideas…. By the way where are Break and Emily?
Damien: Don't know…
Crazy: Well let's start the story before they get here!
Disclaimer: By now you should know that I don't own Pandora hearts.

Chapter 9:

Cheshire looked at me with slanted eyes.

"Let's be serious here Mira"
I pouted. "I am being serious!"
"Nya"
Now it was my turn to glare.
"Fine just tell me!" Cheshire said with arms and tail up in defeat.
He went back to being serious and said "You can trust me, I trust you after all."
Now I just stared in shock.
"What nya?"

"It's just that no one has told me….that before…. Thank you."
Cheshire nodded. He understood.
I leaned on his shoulder, putting my head there.
"My dreams are one cause."
"For ….. That not to bother you?"

I nodded.
"What do you mean?"

"I have nightmares, lots of them."
"Of what? Nya"
"The other reason. The chains that I could only see…."
I shut my eyes. I felt Cheshire's grip on the horses' reigns get tighter.
"It's why people avoided me. Every once and a while someone who was close to me would be killed by those chains while I watched, but they would always leave me alone."
Cheshire stiffened.
"They blamed you."
"Yes, but I was never prosecuted because there was never enough evidence to."
Cheshire put one arm around me and held me tight.
"Nya that's terrible, but it's all over now..."
I nodded. "Thank god for that…. Oh and Cheshire?"
"Nya?"
"I think we might need to tell Break about what we saw…"
"Shit….."

We finally made it to a town in one piece with an inn.
And, a bath!
I could've sworn that I heard angels singing when I saw it.

Sniff

It was beautiful.

Best. Bath. Ever.

Well two baths, it took that many to get all the muck off me.
Eww

Well anyways, I was brushing my hair out as Cheshire got his bath, and when I was done I found a gun in my bag.
Strange it wasn't there before.
"Hey" I had said when Cheshire was done with his bath.
"Nya?"
"What is this gun doing in my bag?"

"…."

"Still don't trust the innkeepers?"

"Maybeeeeeee…. You do know how to work one though, right?"
"Yeppers"

Cheshire laughed. "Yeppers? Really?"
I smiled.

Then I noticed something that was REALLY bothering me.
"Do you not brush your hair?"
"No…" Cheshire sat on my bed cautiously.
"Come 'ere"
"Do I have a choice?"
"No"
I grabbed him and started to brush his hair with him trying to get away.
But, after that fun episode, it was worth it because then his hair was even silkier.
And, being exhausted Cheshire had his head laid in my lap and I was petting his cat ears.
Purrrrrrr
It was all I could get out of him then.
"I'll guess I call Break tomorrow then?"
Cheshire nodded.
I chuckled lightly.
"Hey Mira?"
"Yes?"
"How long has it been since we first met?"
That was a good question.
I had to think. Out of the abyss, went to creepy innkeeper's town, got kidnapped, travel, travel, travel, and travel some more, and run into a dead town….
"Over a week."
"Hmmmm and yet it seems like a year."
I hummed in agreement.
It didn't take long after that to go to bed.
Cheshire went to sleep fine, but SOMEONE woke me up and had to answer to my new friendly gun.

OOOOOOooooooo who was stupid enough to wake Mira up?
Damien: Give us lots of reviews and maybe the next chapter will be quicker!
Crazy: Remember! I'm open to options! Except for who woke Mira up I already know….
Break: *pops out of nowhere and gives a puppy pout*

Emily: Review?
