Chapter 8: Feena's Secret
Vash had just nodded off to sleep when a heavy knock on the door awoke him. Curiously, he got up, walked over to the door and opened it. Barely standing in the door way was none other then Knives Millions, his own brother. "Knives... What happened?" Vash said, carefully helping Knives into the room.
"I was in another town when it was attacked by someone who can manipulate fire. I got pretty burned up, but I managed to only scare him away." Knives told him as he now laid down on the bed. He was exhausted and hurting from the burns on his legs and shoulder that became visible as the jacket he wore fell open, his pants were holding on by a small amount of unburnt cloth. His right shoulder and upper arm was burnt badly, the sleeve was burnt off and what was left of it was scrunched up at the buttoned cuff around his wrist.
"I see, you should rest. I should go see if I can get something to help those burns." Vash said looking to the burns on his brothers body.
"Heh, I see you haven't changed one bit Vash." Knives said looking to him.
"You seemed to have changed a lot since I last saw you." Vash said heading for the door.
"I'll tell you about it when you get back." Knives said with a bit of a smile.
Vash smiled back and walked out and shut the door. He then started to run to the nearest store in hopes to find an ointment for burns. Making his way down the street, he saw a flash of blue hair from behind. It was Feena, she was standing right there in front of the store talking to the owner about something Vash couldn't quite catch. He slowed down and tried to sneak in behind her and successfully made it inside with out her seeing him. Walking down the isle, he looked for anything he could use to help Knives, and found two strong ointments. Picking them up he headed for the register when he found Feena sitting there on the counter pointing her gun at him as she smiled slyly.
"Aww come on, now is not the time for this." Vash whined seeing her there. She looked at what was in his hands and then back to him.
"Who is that for?" She asked putting her gun away. Feena's first instincts were to help those who were hurt, it was just her nature.
"A friend he got burned, how about I make you a deal you let me take care of my friend first and I'll let you take me in." Vash said looking to her.
"That's fine with me." Feena said hopping down off the counter so he could pay for them. A moment later they were both walking into the hotel together, Feena had a feeling that the ointments wouldn't help if Vash was willing to let her turn him in if she let him do this. Walking inside the room, she saw a man who had similar features to Vash laying on the bed with sevral bad burns. "What happened to him?" Feena asked as Vash walked inside.
"I'm not sure, he wouldn't tell me." Vash lied.
"That's not going to help him." Feena told him as she walked in and shut the door behind her carefully so she didn't to wake him. Vash looked to her with clear worry.
"What else can I do?" Vash said to her.
"You have me here." Feena said walking up along side of Knives.
The room was rather dark with the curtains drawn so it was easy to see the faint blue light that was emitted from Feena's hand as she gently ran them over the burns. Vash's eyes went wide as he saw that the burns were completely healed, he steeped out of her way as she moved. Feena was huffing a bit as she started to heal up his shoulder and arm, healing any one or anything took quite a bit of energy out of her. Feena huffed one last time as she finished healing Knives' shoulder and then collapsed to the floor breathing heavily.
"Jeez, I guess I'm not up to par after healing Spike." Feena huffed as Vash helped her into the chair next to the bed.
"I've never seen anything like that before in my life." Vash said. "Do you want or need anything?" He asked kneeling in front of her.
"Water or Ramune if there's any." Feena asked. Vash retrieved a bottle of water from the frig and opened it for her before handing it over. Feena took it gratefully and started to chug it as if she hadn't had anything to drink in days.
"Huh?" Knives said as he woke up he felt a bit stiff and tired but the pain from the burns were gone, matter of fact the burns were gone. "What happened?" He asked slowly sitting up.
"She healed you." Vash said motioning to Feena who was guzzling down the water.
"How?" Knives asked confused.
"To be perfectly honest? I have no clue her hands glowed blue and then you were healed." Vash said rubbing the back of his head.
"You're an idiot..." Knives said with a bit of a laugh.
"Mmmn that hit the spot." Feena said wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. She yawned, and looked to Knives. "How do you feel?" She asked.
"Better, I guess I owe my thanks to you." Knives said looking to Feena.
"Your welcome, but can I ask you a quick question?" Feena asked.
"Umm sure..." Knives said, now sitting up and throwing his feet over the edge of the bed.
"What is your name?" Feena asked.
"Knives Millions, I'm Vash's twin brother or so you could say." Knives explained.
"I see..." Feena rubbed her eye and yawned. "Nice to meet you I'm Feena." She said with a yawn, she could barely keep her eyes open with the amount of energy she used to heal him.
"Are you OK?" Knives and Vash both asked. Feena toppled forwards out of the chair and was soundly asleep. Knives looked to Vash and then to Feena.
"She must not be use to it..." Knives said scooping her up off the floor carefully and then placing her on the bed. "We should either get another room or see about getting some futons for us to sleep on." Knives pointed out.
"Well I'm not that tired right now... I slept all the way here on the bus." Vash said sitting down at the small table. "There's something strange about this girl."
"You mean besides her ability to heal people?" Knives said sitting across from him.
"Yeah, she usually travels with a partner, tall guy with green hair, when they first showed up they looked out of place." Vash said. "Kinda like they weren't from here."
"They could be from a SEED Ship that hasn't landed yet." Knives pointed out.
"They could but how did they get here?" Vash asked.
"Who knows... one of them could have been a pilot and used one of the life ships to come down here, it makes perfect sense if you think about it." Knives pointed out. He looked over to Feena, something about her reminded him of Legato, it was probably just her blue hair.
"True... but I don't know it just seems odd, then today there was this other woman with short purple hair, I'm pretty sure they all came from the same place. They're really good at bounty hunting too, they almost caught me with out destroying a single place." This caught Knives attention, Vash had spent over 100 years running from people and still had never been close to unwillingly been turned in. "It's almost as if they were trained to be bounty hunters or something." Vash said with a puppy dog look.
"Well, the only way to know for sure is to ask them, or at least Feena when she wakes up. So until then how about a game?" Knives suggested as he looked to the chess set on the table.
"Sounds good to me, but I'd like to know what you've been up to in the last few years for starters." Vash said as they set up the board.
"Nothing much really, I've been learning what you learned years ago when we were just kids." Knives said. "Life is precious, even if you are a human, people are always striving to learn more to become better people." Knives said. "Rem was right..."
Hours later Vash and Knives had fallen asleep in the chairs they were in with Vash losing at their latest game of chess. Feena sleeped peacefully on the bed as outside it was dark with little light coming from two of the moon's that were already up in the sky. Up on The Bebop every one was already asleep. Spike had come in just an hour ago after no luck, he was surprised to have found Feena wasn't back already. Hoping she was just lagging behind a bit he laid out on the couch and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning Spike woke to Ein licking his face. "Ugg yuck Ein get off me." Spike said pushing him off. Spike sat up and looked around, Ed was still asleep on the floor in front of her computer from the smell of it Jet was in the kitchen making breakfast witch meant Feena wasn't up or she wasn't there. Making his way to the kitchen he scratched the back of his neck. "Feena asleep or something?" He asked jet with a yawn.
"No I woke up and she wasn't there. I don't think she came back yesterday." Jet said looking to him. "You sound worried, you actually like that girl or something?"
"Truthfully, there's something about Feena that makes you want to worry about her." Spike said. "I don't know maybe she reminds me of someone I knew when I was younger."
"You mean she's like that younger sister you never had."
"Yeah, that's exactly what it's like."
"I know, I use to have a younger sister, she acted just like Feena dose, but she might be a bit more helpful and a lot less bratty. But she said she's got four older brothers so I guess she's just used to being like that." Jet added.
"That and there's just something about her, she's nothing like Faye thankfully." Spike added. "At least when she first came here."
"Yeah, well you can't tell quite yet, we aren't where we should be." Jet pointed out.
"You know your burning that." Spike pointed out to Jet.
"Oh crud, thanks Spike..." Jet said pulling it off the fire.
"I think I'm going to wake Ed up and see if she can tell me where Feena is." Spike said walking back out of the kitchen. "Hey Ed wake up." Spike said kicking Ed with his foot lightly.
"Ed don't want to get up." Ed muttered.
"Come on Ed I need your help in finding where Feena is, she didn't show up last night." Spike said looking down at Ed. Ed typed some things into her computer with her toes.
"Feena's ship hasn't moved all night Ed looked to see where Feena was yesterday and her ship hasn't moved since then... It's morning there now maybe she stayed the night there." Ed said looking to the screen and then sleepily to Spike.
"Where is she exactly?" Spike asked.
"Feena is right there... Ed has been working on mapping the planet and all it's cities as the Bebop goes around the planet."Ed said. "Ed noticed Feena's ship here yesterday afternoon and Ed see's it's still there."
"Great so any one can see her ship?" Spike said recalling his incident.
"No, she left it hidden almost on all sides up on a cliff that probably takes some effort to get up to her ship." Ed pointed out.
"Well damn... I'm going to go down there to make sure she didn't end up in jail or something." Spike told her as he walked off.
"Hey what about breakfast?" Jet asked holding something that was mostly burnt.
"I think I'll eat down there." Spike said not even looking. "Give Ed my share."
"YAY! Ed can have seconds!" Ed said happily.
Spike walked over to his ship and took off for the town where Feena was, something told him that there was something up with Feena and he was going to find out what. 10 minutes later he landed near by Feena's ship with just enough room and headed for the town.
Braids: tee hee! for anyone on Yahoo messanger they can now message me on yahoo, my name is UpinGunsmoke yup... that's me!
Spike: Great... atleast she's got a decient picture for her profile...
Vash: T.T I'm so happy my brother is good again
Braids: Yeah... but because your chaotic good I have to balance you out with a Villian... a strong one... Maybe they'll turn him evil again...
Vash: But Braids!
