CHAPTER FIVE: AND YOU THOUGHT YOUR LIFE WAS HARD!
Vash sat in the kitchen, pondering the yesterdays events. Knives was nowhere to be found in the warm kitchen, he was watching over there new charge. Curious thing was Knives actually considered this new woman an equal. Even if he wouldn't admit it, its what Knives thought. Only time would tell...
Knives sat in a chair next to the bed were the demon girl lay. 'why do I always end up like this?' he thought.
'Maybe you should just relax, knives.' her voice sounded in his head.
Knives started, "How?
The girl laughed out loud, "It's a common thing among demons. My names Mace by the way. Mace Shadowfang."
He stared at her, "My names Knives. You can call me Knives. You fainted you know."
"Gee, aren't we mister obvious?" Mace snapped at him.
Knives glared.
"And stop thinking you can kill me. It would take a hundred of you to kill me!" she spat at him.
Knives chuckled, "With your temper it would be far to easy to kill you." he sood and left the room.
As soon as the door shut Mace threw back the covers and quickly started to get dressed.
Vash sat, stuffing his face full of donuts as Knives walked into the kirchen.
"Hello, Mr. Knives!" Milly said, looking up from her mail.
Knives just glared at the perky bitch. How he wanted to kill her so.
'Thats not really nice, Knives.' Vash said. Knives growled at him. Vash shrugged and went back to the donuts.
"I'm going for a walk." and knives left.
Vash sighed, today was going to be a very rough day.
Mace ducked behind a barrel as she dodged the windows of the house this "Knives" character was. The the kitchen window she could see him glaring at the young woman at the end of the table.
'Not a very sociable creature.' she thoght. Shrugging, She jumped onto the roof of a nearby house, landing flawlessly and silently. Mace ran to the edge of town, stopping frequently for rest. She still was sore, although completely healed. SHe landed on the sandy ground and sighed, pulling the hidden hood of her black outfit. SHe then headed out intot he vast sandy desert.
Knives reached the edge of town, thinking. He smiled, and started off into the vast desert wasteland.
"Free at last." he sighed. His brother was alwasy way to clingy to those human scum. Tapping the gun at his side, he walked off thinking of new ways to kill the pathetic beings called humans. About an hour into his walk his leg started acting up so he started looking around for a cool place to relax awhile. He spotted a nice bunch of rocks to his left. Upon reaching the rocks he noticed he wasn't alone.
"What are YOU doing here!?" he snarled.
Mace glared at him, "I can go wherever I please." she continued glaring at him as he stepped into the boulders shadow, taking a seat on one of the smaller ones.
Mace obviously saw the releif on his face, because she smiled, "I'm not weak!"
"Nobody said you were. Although I'M fully healed already." she smirked. Knives lunged at her, handes grabbing for her throat. She dodged and hopped up higher on a ledge. Knives drew his gun, aimed and fired at her. Only she wasn't there anymore. Perplexed he lowered his gun arm.
Arms wrapped around his middle, "Here I am." she whispered in his ear.
Now here is the strange part. Knives was really PEEVED at this woman....but....for some reason a part of him actually liked her.
He froze. Like a deer in headlights, he couldn't move. He liked the feel of her against him. She must've sensed this and laughed.
"My, my. The great Knives falling for a demon? What is this world coming to?" she laughed again, only it was stopped by lips closing over hers. This shocked her. She stood still, in shock.
He pulled away, "My, my how the tables turn..." Mace smiled at Knives.
Miles away from them Vash smiled as he powdered and glazed some donuts.
"What the hell have you done to me?" Knives sighed as he leaned back against the cool boulders side. Mace paced infront of him.
"Well. I have not a clue. I do what feels right and natural. I go with my instincts."
"Instincts? And who are you running from, Mace? Those wounds you had weren't normal. I DID get to see them." Knives glared at a lizard that had dared perch on his knee.
Mace stopped pacing and crouched in front of him, "Are you sure you wanna know? It means them coming after you as well."
"Them? Fight me? No contest. I would win." Knives shrugged as if that decided things.
Mace sighed, "Alrighty then. You asked for it. It all began when I was thirteen. I looked like a normal human, then. That was until my birthday brought my unknown heritage out. Right in the middle of my party, which was only my adopted parents thank GOD, I changed. Right infront of there eyes. I grew a tail and ears and fangs and claws. They took it well, all things considered. Later that day a stranger came to our house and asked if he could stay the night and leave in the morning. My parents agree, fed him and let him sleep on the couch. He was wearing a really nice hat at the time so they never saw his ears."
"Ears? Wait a minute,-"
"Will you please let me finish before you ask questions? Its hard recounting these memories. Anyway, as soon as everyone was asleep I crept outside by way of my window, and began staring at the moon. It was full and bright and beautiful. Thats when my body decided to change. AGAIN. This time I changed into a giant cat/dog like demon thing. I later would find out my parent got a little too frisky when it was my mother time in heat. Anyway! The starger was also outside and looking at the moon, although he didn't change like I did he saw. Smiling he went into the house and went quietly and quickly upstairs. Not knowing how to change back I couldn't stop him from slaughtering them. HE KILLED THEM! Slowly and painfully. The last words I heard form my father was to run and never look back. SO I ran. And ran. And I ran till I awoke under a boulder like this one, and in current form. I wondered around, learning and growing and becoming strong. By the age of 15 I was the strongest demon of my age. This was before you landed here on this planet Knives. About 50 years before actually."
"What the!?" Knives gaped at her.
"I told you I was older. I eventually had assassins sent after me. FOr reasons unknown to me then. They always failed. Thats when I decided to find out WHY. The truth was numbing. My biological parents were none other than the Current Queen of the Felines and the Lord of the Canines. Both clans hate each others guts, basically. But somehow mymother and father loved each other and produced me. I was put into a safe house and was never seen by either sides of my family until Kanoe, the dog demon, found me that fatefull night. I have been running and searching for them ever since. And now that I've shown a liking to you, YOU'RE in danger," hse sighed, "My luck keeps getting better and better."
"And they all thought you were dumb." a voice sounded from above them. Mace looked up and froze at who it was.
"Kanoe." she glared at him.
"Thats right babe! In the fur!" he smiled manically at them.
