A/N: Sorry I neglected to put the time in which this happened! Gomenasai Minna! The time approximately in which this happened is right after the fights with Rai-Dei and E.G. Mine. It's also approximately after the time that Vash dissappeared, but...you get the idea. Oh yeah, and it's sort of an Alternate Universe fic. Wolfwood doesn't croak. And in this chapter, it's almost entirely from Eden's POV, except for the tail end.

"So what's your daddy's name?" Meryl asked me. We were in Mr. Wolfwood's car, driving towards December city.
I thought for a moment. Most people just called him Master or Sir.... "Oh yeah! His name is Knives!"
Mr. Wolfwood slammed on the breaks. "You're his kid?!"
"Are you absolutely sure your father is Knives?" Vash looked at me, from the other side of Meryl.
I nodded.
"What does your daddy look like?"
"Well, he's really tall like you and he has light yellow hair like me and he has really really light eyes! And he can do funny stuff with his mind. like make black holes and alot of other stuff," I answered, smiling.
I heard Mr. Wolfwood mutter something, and he sighed. "How old are you?" "Two, but Daddy says that I grow twice as half as spiders because I'm only half!" I looked at him. "Why?"
Millie looked at Mr. Wolfwood. "What does she mean, spider?"
"Eden, did you say you're half spider?" Vash stared at me.
I nodded again.
"So...your mother was spider?" He asked.
"Yup!"
"Where is your mother?"
"She died when she gave birth to me. I didn't know her, but Daddy said I have her eyes."
"What does she mean, 'spider', Vash?!" Meryl broke in.
He looked at her. "It's...not important."
"But-"
"It's not important!" He snapped. "Eden, what city do you live closest to?"
I thought a moment. "Ummmm....lemme look in the book Daddy made for me!" And with saying this, I started to look in one of the many pockets of my pack. "Found it!"
"Can you read it?" Mr. Wolfwood asked. I nodded, and flipped to the first page.
"It says; Eden Millions, 5000 Killing Spree Drive. My Daddy named our address...or was that Unca Lega?" I thought about it. "I can't remember. Let's see, Killing Spree Drive, fifty miles southwest of Diego Village."
"How far is Diego from here?" Vash asked Mr. Wolfwood.
He thought for a moment. "A hundred iles the other way, give or take a few."
"Then let's go to December City!" He said smiling. "Hey Eden, can I see that little book?"
I nodded and handed it to him. "Sure. It has all of my favorite pictures in it!"
He accepted it, and flipped to the second page. It had a picture of all the people who worked for my Daddy.
"Are these the Gung-Ho Guns?" He asked quietly. I nodded.
"There's Unca Middie and Mr. Rai-Dei, and Unca E.G. Mine and Aunty Dominique and Zazie and Hopperd and Leonof and Chapel-" When I said that name Mr. Wolfwood flinched, and started up the car, "and Caine and the big robot thingy everyone called Grey."
"Wow...you know all of these people?" Meryl looked at the picture.
I nodded. "Well, I used to know them. Alot of them are dead now."
"Dead?"
Again I nodded. "Aunty Dominique died, and Unca E. G. died, and Mr. Rai-Dei too...Leonof is dead I think, and so is Grey and Hoppered and Caine. I really liked Caine, he was cool! And Chapel died too..." Again Mr. Wolfwood flinched when I said 'Chapel'.
"Wow, so all that's left is him, and him?"
"Oh, no...Zazie died too. I didn't like him, he was always so mean."
She looked at me. "Do you know how all these people died?"
Vash cleared his throat. "That's not important, what's important is that you remember them and never forget them, even if you didn't like them, okay Eden?"
"Okay." I turned the page. It had a picture of my mommy on it. "That's my mommy...Daddy said this was his only picture, but he let me have it."
"She's so pretty," Meryl breathed. "You have her eyes."
"Thank you," I replied, smiling. "And on the other page is a picture of my daddy holding me when I was really little."
It was true, I was bundled up in a blanket in my daddy's arms in the next one. And the one after that I was playing dolls with Unca Middie and Unca E.G. before he died, and the one after that was a picture of me on my first birthday, in a party hat with a cake in front of me.
"I miss Unca Middie," I said quietly. This was the first time I'd been away from one of my guardians.

Legato winced. "But Master, I swear I included her. Somehow she must have slipped out-"
"WELL WHERE IS SHE THEN?!" Knives yelled, sending a spray of saliva into the air. "WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?!"
The human trembled. "She is....She is in the care of your brother and Chapel."
"WHAT?!" Was the plant's reply. "HOW COULD YOU LET THEM TAKE HER?!" "I regret it, Master...Please forgive me..."
"GET MY DAUGHTER BACK HERE NOW!!!"
"But-"
"BUT NOTHING! I WANT MY DAUGHTER BACK HERE BY SUNDOWN!"
Legato nodded and looked at the Plant. He was standing in the Geoplant area, furious. Midvalley had somehow dissappeared.
"Yes, Master. She will be back by sundown."
Knives fumed and glared at the human. "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTING HER!"
Legato sighed and flinched as his master's words hit him, and decided to wait it out. By the time Knives was through with Legato, it was sundown. The search would have to wait until morning.
