Miaku then went over to the bench, laid down and fell asleep. Vash didn't feel like sleeping that night. Instead, he stayed up all night looking for a way to escape. He then noticed a vent. "I wouldn't fit in it but Miaku may be able too" Vash said walking over to Miaku. Vash then took his hands and placed them oh her shoulders to wake her up. "Miaku" he whispered. She then slowly opened her eyes. "Wha-what time is it" she asked. "I don't know but I've got a plan!" Vash replied. Miaku's eyes widened with excitement. "Really? How?" she asked. Vash then pointed to the air vent. "You are going to crawl through that Vent which should lead to the surface up above. You will then run away and never come back, not even for me". he said. Miaku started to feel sad. "You want me to do what? I am not leaving without you. I will go through the Vent but, I'm not going to leave you. I'll go get help!" she replied. Vash smiled. "Do what you want but I don't think that is the best decision" he said quietly as he pulled open the vent. "Well, I guess this is goodbye, for Now. Be careful" Vash said. Miaku smiled. Vash the lifted Miaku up so she could get herself inside the vent. As soon as she got in, Vash closed it up again.

Miaku was crawling in the vent when she suddenly hit the top. She pushed open the lid, sand slid off the top and she peeked out. She noticed the Dark Vash talking to a few of Totoya's workers. Thinking that she was not watched, Miaku jumped out and Started to run away in the opposite direction in which the men were talking. Some of the men saw her. "STOP HER!" One of the yelled. The Dark Vash then lifted his arm to stop them. "Let her be, we have no use for people like her, We only need those who are strong" he said as he started to walk away into the other direction.

Miaku slowed down, turned her head and noticed that The Dark Vash and the rest of the men were walking the other way. SO, Miaku decided too follow, trying not too be noticed.

After about 7 minuets of walking, the Dark Vash and the 2 men he was with entered the car. "I better see where their going" Miaku thought to herself. "I hope Vash is alright". She then crawled under the car, got on her back, grabbed some parts and pulled herself up, hoping that she wouldn't get noticed, that she wouldn't fall and that this would somehow lead her too help.

The car came to a sudden stop in the nearest town which was 30 minuets away. Miaku let herself go. She dropped to the ground, then slipped out to the back of the car. Miaku then Hear the Dark Vash say "you again!?" Miaku ducked down behind the car too watch what was going on. She saw the Dark Vash standing with the 2 men pointing their guns at Milly, Meryl, Wolfwood, Shizuka and Knives. The Dark Vash then walked up too Knives, pretending too be a changed real Vash, and said "Too long have you and I had a brother rivalry, join me, help me take control of human life". Knives looked eye too eye with the Dark Vash. "What happened too you? First for tell me not too Kill now you want me too kill? WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!?!". Just then Meryl stepped in front of Knives. A tear shed from her eyes and she looked up. "What happened too you Vash?". The dark Vash had no answer. He just stepped back in between the 2 men holding guns. "All I want is Knives" the Dark Vash then said. "Knives can either come peacefully with me or I'll take him by force!".

Just then Miaku ran and Head budded the Dark Vash, knocking him too the ground. She then yelled "DON'T BE FOOLED BY THIS FAKE VASH! HURRY FOLLOW ME! I'LL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING!". Without any thoughts, Knives and the rest decided too follow Miaku out of the town.

"Who are you?" Wolfwood asked Miaku while they were running. "Miaku" she replied with hardly any breath. Shizuka looked behind her and then yelled "We're being followed! What do we do? Wait! It's just Vash chasing us, where are the other 2 men?". Miaku then took a deep breath then said "You guys keep running, I'm going too pretend I fell, let them catch me and if my plan works well, they'll bring me back too the base where they are temporarily holding Vash. You guys will follow behind trying too not be noticed". Knives looked at Miaku and said "NO! I'll go!" but he was too late. Miaku had just faked a fall. Everyone kept running.

Miaku looked around on the ground, noticing a sharp rock. Too make the fall seem real, she took the rock, scraped her knee and made a small scratch on her arm, which bled a bit, and put some dirt on herself. She then laid down face first pretending she just fell.

Just then the Dark Vash approached her. Miaku started too stand up, but soon felt a heavy boot on her back holding her down on the ground. She wasn't really hurt but, she had too convince them she was, so she pretended that she was in pain. Miaku was then forced too roll over on her back. She saw that it was the Dark Vash. "Where did Knives and the others run too?" he asked. Miaku was silent. She then gave a smirk and said "Where did you're two friends go?". The Dark Vash then picked Miaku up by the collar of her shirt and said "I don't even know why I let you go in the first place". He then picked Miaku up over his shoulder and started too walk back too the base (because the other two men took the cars and left). Miaku, with her head hanging over the Dark Vash's shoulder looked up, seeing that her plan worked perfectly so far, because the others were following behind as quietly as possible.

The Dark Vash finally stopped walking, bent down and opened a trap door. They were back at the base.

He started too walk down the steps.

Vash, who was already in the prison cell, stood up. The Dark Vash then opened the door and threw Miaku in. He then closed the cell door and locked it. He said nothing, turned and walked into the room next door.

Vash went over too Miaku too help her up. "Why did you come back?" Vash asked while picking her up. Miaku looked up at Vash. "I had too show you're friends the way too get here and since we were being chased, I figured I'd get caught so they could follow!". Vash gave a smirk. "Couldn't have you just showed them the way you're self?" he then asked. Vash then looked at Miaku's bloody arm. "YOU'RE BLEEDING!" Vash exclaimed. He then started too rip off the sleeve of his shirt too make a bandage for Miaku's arm. "It's nothing, really." Miaku said while Vash was tying the material around the cut.

"how far behind were my friends?" Vash asked. Miaku looked at the door at the top of the stairs. "Not too far behind" she said quietly. Vash then asked "which friends did you catch up with?". Miaku looked at Vash. "I think their names were Milly, Meryl, Knives, Shizuka and Wolfwood" she replied. "I don't know any Shizuka and Wolfwood is dead, it couldn't have been him" Vash then said. Miaku's voice raised a tiny bit. "Wolfwood isn't dead, I'm positive that what he said his name was. He carried a Giant cross and looked a little like a priest" she then continued. Vash went quiet for a few seconds. "That's not possible, it was probably someone trying too be Wolfwood. Wolfwood is." The door suddenly opened and Wolfwood Peeked his head in too see if the place was safe too enter. Vash then Continues "NOT DEAD!?". Wolfwood then signalled too the others that it was safe too go down.

When Meryl got too the bottom of the stairs, she ran over too Vash. "Are you alright Vash?" she asked. Vash gave a smile and replied "Yes, I'm fine". She then showed Vash his Trench coat. "I found this and kept it safe for you". Vash then quietly said "thankyou, that means a lot too me".

Milly, Knives and Shizuka were looking around at the stuff that was in the underground base, while Wolfwood and Meryl were over with Vash. "So, where are the keys too unlock this?" Wolfwood asked Vash. Miaku then stood up and Pointed. "Over behind the stairs" she said.

Shizuka then ran over too where Miaku was pointing. She then turned and went too go unlock the door but tripped on he way over. The Keys slid over too Wolfwood's feet. He bent down too pick it up. Just as he stood up, he heard some guns cocking. Wolfwood looked too his side only too see a silver gun pointed at his head. Everyone was surrounded. He then heard a voice. "Drop you're weapons" it said. It was one of Totoya's workers and the Dark Vash's followers.
