Chapter 9

"Remind me why I have to do this?!" Vash asked.

"Did you hear something?" Kat asked Kageunsei.

Not a thing.

"Oh come on! This isn't fair!" Vash complained.

"Fair?! You wreaked my car!" Kat yelled at him.

"Yah but still…."

"But nothin!" Vash whined as he carried the car seat above him with the unnaturally heavy wolf and Kat sitting on top of it. Kat glared ahead remembering that she had actually thought that he was able to drive a car. He had taken off into the woods at top speed and now they were still about five miles from the hut.

"Can't you go any faster?" Kat asked.

"I'm going as fast as I can!" Vash said, "It wouldn't be so hard if you weighed less."

Kat's fist collided with his head, "You were saying?"

"Nothing!" he managed to say through his busted jaw.

"Thought so."

^_^

*back at the hut*

"What's your real name?" Kat asked.

"My real name is… irreverent," Vash said.

Kat frowned at him. (A/N: 200,000 frowns = one forehead crease/ line)

He dropped the act and sighed, "It's probably something like experiment 626. To tell you the truth, I don't know what my real name is. Rem just always called my Vash."

"Hun….You loved Rem?" Kat asked.

Vash looked at her in surprise, "Loved her?" He fell silent. There was a pause before he was able to answer, "I'd be lying if I told you I didn't….But she was more like a mother to me. Someone who loved me for who I was."

Kat began to hum.

"That song…."

"Huh? Oh, I always sing it. So…. On the second celestial evening…"

Vash joined her, "…All the children of the pebble join hands and compose a waltz."

 "It's a good song," Kat said.

"Yah it is…." Vash agreed.

Saku poked her head in through the doorway and barked. Kat motioned for the wolf to join them. Saku sat down next to Vash.

Kat watched as Vash unconsciously rubbed the wolf's ears, "You don't see it do you?"

"See what?" he asked.

"Look into Saku's eyes and tell me you don't see the something," Kat said.

Vash frowned as he gazed into the eyes of the wolf. 'I feel like such a moron.' Then he saw a faint shimmer in the wolf's turquoise eyes.

"You see it now don't you?"

Vash turned his gaze back to Kat, "That wolf…. It's like looking into a mirror."

(A/N: I know, I know, if you read the notes above and below the chapters you will have already known that Saku is Vash's spirit wolf. I'll post another chapter today. PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
