Tsukamaru Kai Tenshi… The Scarlet Ibis

Chapter 6

Kat watched as Vash ate his doughnut. He munched on it with a look of pure bliss on his face. When he finished he looked at Saku and paused a moment. The wolf barked and another doughnut appeared. Kat stared at him as he wolfed down the doughnut. He looked at Saku again and yet another doughnut appeared in his lap.

Kat snatched it and threw it out the window. Vash raced over to save the doughnut but it was too late.

"Why did you do that?" he cried.

"I'm sick of watching you eat doughnuts!" Kat yelled at him, "I've been watching you eat them for over an hour now and it's beginning to get discussing!"

Vash blinked at her, "But I like doughnuts."

Kat huffed, "I know that!"

"Anyone ever tell you that you look beautiful when you're angry?"

Kat quirked an eyebrow. "Will you be my girl friend?"

There was a loud slap as Kat's hand connected with Vash's face, "Yah sure… WHEN HELL FREZES OVER!"

"What was that for?" he asked. Kat held up her hand with the ring on it.

He blinked and Kat growled at him, "You've never heard that when someone gets married, they're given a ring?" Vash shook his head. "Where have you been?" Kat muttered.

Vash thought a moment then grew serious, "It's not where have I been. It's when am I? What year is this?"

"2003."

"2003?" Vash asked confused.

Then it came to Kat, "It's 2003 because you're on the planet Earth. You come from the future and I already know that you came from the planet Gunsmoke."

"Rem and I came from Earth…" Vash thought aloud.

Kat watched as he saddened, "Cheer up! Enjoy your time in the past wile you can! If you ever go back to Gunsmoke I doubt that you'll ever even see a flowing river let alone a forest ever again." Kat thought a moment, "Wait, It's not 2003. I come from 2003. I'll have to ask Ken-" Kat stopped. Vash frowned at her and before the pause went on too long Kat continued, "I wonder if Inuyasha knows what year this is since, to tell you the truth, I'm not sure what year it is. I'm guessing the late 1800's. I come from the future also."

"The future? What do you mean?"

Kat sighed, "I can't tell you yet. You'd be unhappy. He was the same way when he found out."

Vash wondered what she was talking about, "Well, when you're ready to tell me, I'll be listening. But for now, I must be leaving. There's lots of people to save no matter what year it is there's always someone who needs help."

Vash stood up but Kat stopped him, "You can't leave. For one, you aren't dressed correctly; you have a gun for an arm, and no one in the world right now ones a gun that looks like yours. They haven't even invented the machine gun yet."

Vash sank back down to the floor, "What kind of world is this? If there are no guns then it must be peaceful."

Kat sighed, "Hate to break it to you but it's not as peaceful as you think. People are still killed every day. But who knows, maybe if you live long enough, you'll be able to stop people from using guns and keep them from using up all the natural resources."

'I'm beginning to think she knows more about me than I do myself.'

"How long do you live anyway?" Kat asked.

Vash gazed out the window, "Hard to tell. Do you know how much longer you have to live?"

"Well when you put it that way I guess I'll be long dead before you kick the bucket," Kat smiled, "Hey, I've always wanted to ask you how you got so good at gunmanship."

Vash ran his fingers over his gun, "I couldn't tell you. I guess I was just born that way!"

Kat sweat dropped, "Modest aren't we?"

"Yes I am!"

"And we pick up real well on sarcasm too," Kat thought a moment, "How do you get your hair to stick up like that?"

Vash stared at her, "Enough questions about me, what about you?"

"What about me?"

"Well, just who are you and what are you doing here?"

"As you should already know, I'm Katsura Okamimure. I'm from the year 2003 and lots of things have happened in my life in the past two years!"

"Such as…?"

Kat looked crestfallen, "I can't tell you. For one, you wouldn't believe me and second, something's are better left dead and buried."

They looked at each other and both wondered what secrets the other held.
