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 (while Meryl handed him the coat) "thankyou, that means a lot too me". Vash then put his red coat on.
