Knives and I were both so sore from the whole ordeal; we couldn't
even put clothes on before father decided to give us both a lecture on sex.
I'm 152 years old, and I think I've heard this lecture before. Being talked
to like I was a 15 year old who got drunk and slept with some guy I don't
know was bad enough, but the worst part was the fact I was ass naked, with
an ice pack between my legs. Knives was the same way, and I mixed feelings
when he kept looking at my crotch. I wonder how he feels about me? If it
was just the bulb pumping drugs into him, did he even want to do it at all?
~¤~Confessions~¤~
Misty had just finished her report on her findings of the "Sex Bulb" as she referred to it, when she shifted her weight and winced. She was still very sore, and had a hard time wearing panties. Knives hadn't spoken to her in a while; he just kept to himself in his room, probably not even dressed. Misty was reluctant to go in, especially since her father had forbidden it. She walked up to his room, and knocked on the door. "Knives? Can I come in?" She got no reply, so she rattled the doorknob just to alert him she was coming in. She opened the door, and blushed a little, seeing as he was still not dressed, and still had to use an ice pack for his sore crotch.
"I'm sorry. You should have said something." She looked away, but couldn't help but glance back and forth from his package to the floor.
"It's obviously nothing you haven't seen before." Knives' tone had a bit of anger and annoyance in it.
"Yeah. About that. Do you know who started it? My memory is fuzzy." She walked over to a chair and very carefully sat down.
"Who started it?" Knives laughed, "You did, you horny bi-" Knives looked over at Misty, who was now crying into her hands. "W-what are you doing? Stop that!"
"I'm so sorry! I didn't know what I was doing, it all happened so fast! I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to do anything!" Misty's tone was soaked with tears, and most of her words were very hard to understand.
Knives looked very surprised, as he was caught off-guard. He's never really seen a girl cry before, and he felt guilty. "I know I've wanted to have a baby of my own for over 100 years, but I wouldn't do it unless I had full consent! I wanted to get married first too! And.. And I know I've had this terrible crush on you for so long and I can't stop thinking about you-"
"Stop! Stop!" Knives rubbed his face and sighed. "Stop that!"
"Stop what?" Misty looked to and sniffled.
"That.. that crying! Stop it! And all that guilt! Stop it, I can't stand it. I did it, I started it! I pushed your buttons!" He shouted it almost as if he was confessing a murder, and he hoped it would stop her crying. He couldn't stand the noise, it went straight through his heart, and he didn't know why.
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew it wasn't just a dream, you got me drunk and felt me up!" She stood and looked at him almost in triumph.
"What? I didn't get you drunk, I just touched you and you went berserk." Knives covered himself and tossed the ice pack onto the floor.
"Well, maybe that part was a dream. But, I wanted to ask you something else, it's why I came in here." She sat back down again, and winced as a tinge of pain hit her.
"For God's sake, woman, you're long winded." He turned over onto his side so that he didn't have to look at her.
"I just.. I love you, so much, but it's hard not getting any of that love back. I just want to know why you did what you did, and if.. if.. in some corner of your heart, you have any feelings for me."
Knives was quiet for a long time. Finally, he decided to go ahead and answer, because she obviously wasn't leaving without one. "I did it to pass on my seed. Nothing more, you're just something I have to have sex with in order to get a child." When he didn't hear her start yelling or crying, he was a little curious. He slowly turned back around, and saw her just sitting in the chair, staring at her lap. She had an apathetic look on her face, but her eyes were overflowing with sorrow.
"You're no better than any human." She quietly said as she got up and left. Knives clenched his teeth in rage, then it dawned on him. She was telling the truth.

"Five more minutes.. please.. please.. be quiet.." Vash groaned as he looked up from the sheets in the hotel in New Oregon. The hangover from last night, with Wolfwood and a bottle of hard liquor, had finally caught up to him, and hit him like a ton of bricks. Lily was growing so quickly, she had already matched Millie in intelligence, and Meryl in wit. Although she was only 7 months old, she looked like she was 13 years old. Her and Millie had gotten a litter of kittens for the orphans, the only problem was, and they had to watch them in the apartment they rented until they got back home. Lily giggled as she watched the kittens pile on top of Vash and knead his back with their stubby claws. Vash groaned and tried to keep them off of his head, but a couple nested in his hair and one kept trying to bite his earring off.
Meryl walked in and laughed, peeling the kittens off of Vash's back. They mewed in protest, and some purred. "That's what you get for getting drunk."
"..Wolfwood said it was alcohol free.." Vash looked up and shielded his eyes from the light.
"Well, he lied." Millie said as she stood up. "I thought I told him no more drinking and no more smoking.. I'm going to have a talk with him." She left the room, and Vash laughed.
"Whoops.. got him in trouble."
"He's not the only one in trouble, tongari." Meryl helped him sit up, and scooted a trashcan over next to his feet. Vash smiled a little, eyes still closed.
"You haven't called me that in a long time. I miss that. It's better than 'stupid' or 'air-head' or 'baka'"
Meryl smiled as well, and sat down. "I've called you worse."
"Yeah, but there's a kid in the room." Vash opened one eye long enough to give Lily a little shove.
"I'm not a kid! And don't push me." She pushed him back, but poor Vash lost his equilibrium (or balance) and fell over, his face getting planted between Meryl's legs. Meryl's face turned scarlet in embarrassment and anger, she pulled Vash up by his hair and threw him off of the couch. "Hentai baka!!! (Perverted idiot)"
Vash hit the floor with a thud and whined at the pain that hit him afterwards.
"Mom, can I ask you a question?" Lily took Vash's place on the couch.
"Sure, ask anything." Meryl calmed down and turned to face her.
"How come you and dad don't to the things that Auntie Millie and Uncle Wolfwood do? I mean, I see them together sometimes, hugging a lot, and kissing, and I walked in on them having sex. You-"
Vash sat up. "Ok, first of all, I didn't want that picture in my mind, and second of all, how do you even know what that word means?"
"After I walked in on them Wolfwood explained the whole thing. I thought he was trying to kill her." Lily laughed and continued. "You two sleep in separate rooms, you wont even sit near each other on the couch, how in the world did I come into the picture?"
"Well.." Vash started, he wanted to say with pride, "I can reach great distances," but he decided to save that one for another time.
"We.. ..um.. the truth is, we.. aren't your real parents." Meryl spit the words out like they were bitter to the taste.
"..oh.. so.. then.. that woman.. from before. she wouldn't wake up.. and then, you put her in the ground.." She turned to Vash and addressed the sentence to him.
"That.. ..was your real mother. I don't know how she died, but she had been that way for a long time, and I wish I could bring her back, but I can't! Your dad.. I found out recently, he.. passed away too.. he was very ill, and being kept in the SEEDS ship, but he died before you where born. I'm so sorry Lily!" Vash started to cry, himself, when he saw Lily shed tears.
"But that's not fair! I didn't get a chance to know either of them!! That's NOT FAIR!" She yelled, and stood up, clutching her fists.
"I know it isn't, but we've done our best to give you a good home." Meryl frowned, and gave Lily a tissue.
"If you did your best you would have given me to someone else! You two love me, but I don't even know what it's like to have parents that love each other!" She began to sob, as she ran into the back room she was staying in, and locked the door. Both Meryl and Vash ran after her, but stopped short of the door.
"Lily! Lily, come out! We want to talk to you!" Meryl tried in vein to get her to make an appearance. The entire rest of the evening, Meryl and Vash were alone in the room, both quiet.
"Vash.." Meryl finally said something.
"Yeah?" He looked up, wiping his tear stained cheeks.
"She's right, you know. I didn't think it would be a big deal, but.."
"I feel so terrible. But we can't just go around acting like a couple for her." Vash blushed a little at the thought of having this conversation. "I know, if anything, it has to be for us. Anything else is icing on the cake."
"But.. I mean, it's not like I don't like you, I mean.. I don't.. well.. er.. wait, back up. Let me start over."
"Vash."
"Hold on, I get a re-do, just-"
"I love you."
