A/N: I need to quit promising more frequent updates! -smacks head- Okay, here's the final character thought, and it's Knives' turn! He was harder than Wolfwood, since he doesn't even appear in more than maybe three or four episodes. I did the best I could. I also tried to make the lines go with whatever's happening in that particular episode and sometimes put a dark twist on it. Again, you have to be very familiar with what happens and what is said in each episode, or you won't get it. Since the Gung-ho-Guns are sort of an extension of Knives, I used a little bit of something from each, Legato most of all. If it doesn't sound like Knives, it's probably one of them. Please enjoy! -NB-


=Knives Thoughts=

Why haven't you learned anything over the past hundred years?
You're helpless on your own you know that? That's why you followed me.

Humans. They hurt you, scar you body and soul.
Yet, you say they deserve a chance.

They're selfish, wasteful little parasites, and you know it.
And sentimental. Sacrificing yourself for others? I don't get that.

If the only thing that grows is your sentimentalism, then what's the point of growing up?
That's what made me realize just how truly imperfect she was.

You're a real hypocrite Vash. You say you don't kill, but you do.
Everyone around you dies. Those girls will too eventually. But that's a good thing, isn't it?

You can't outrun your past. Sooner or later you'll have to face me.
You refuse to acknowledge what you really are. By doing so, you pro-long their suffering.

That woman and her philosophy. The only thing she was right about was that the future is always open.
There is still time brother. Time to cleanse the Universe and start over.

No matter how hard I try, I can't seem shake her memory from this planet.
How can that be? I made sure that everything that connected you to Rem was gone.

No matter. This place is a poor environment for their kind.
It's only a matter of time before it will overtake them. And I will help it along.

Somehow, I will convince you. I will show you just how disgusting these arrogant humans are.
Then, we can be rid of this garbage forever.

We deserve Eden. Just the two of us. If our siblings could speak, they would agree.
Beware dear brother. Your days of being saved by a simple quick draw will soon be over.

Your life ends today Vash. Are you gonna draw? Wise choice.
If you continue to refuse me, then I'll make sure they give you hell.

It's the price you pay for living like a human.
It's the price you pay for injuring me.

You're still trying to save both? What a naive contradiction.
You can only save one by killing the other.

Funny. I usually don't waste time on vermin like that.
You're so simplistic Vash. Are you finally ready to face me?

Don't be such a drama queen. C'mon and fight me mama's boy!
There's something that only you and I can do. Us it! Quickly!!!

Remember what Joey said? If we make the smallest sacrifice we can think of at the time, we can get through anything.
But then again, he is only human. I know that my choices are the right ones. I don't regret them.

You don't make any sense Vash. And what is taking you so long? Come out of your hiding place.
Tell me, when we finally meet, are you actually going to shoot me again?

You're still a no good, pathetic wimp. Are you going to cower until they've eaten you? He's on the move.
If you truly want to find a place where are no wars, no stealing, and nothing but peaceful days, you will listen to me.

I am your true family Vash. Not Rem. Not that flying ship.
Not even those stupid girls who follow you around like trouble often does and that backstabbing priest.

Those demons should convince you. Do you think I had this done to my body just to listen to your whining?
Compare to July and Augusta, this is nothing. I have been watching you the entire time.

This is what you get for taking so long. You should know better.
Why would I do this? Because they are not my people.

Humans only have compassion and sense of moral because they mistaken themselves to be a superior breed of beast.
Homo sapiens. When they are threatened by a superior being, something takes over, and they run by instinct from that point.

The cornered mouse attacks? The cat is wise to its little game. The mouse seeks death to avoid the pain.
You're angry with me, aren't you? Teach him the pain of living. Accept your fate.

These are our new siblings. I made them, and this one's yours.
I didn't make them to be wasted like this.

Finally. Did the humans treat you well? Did you have fun dear brother?
You're not a human. You're a plant. You're a superior being... I see. It's pointless, isn't it?


A/N: In my opinion, Knives is diabolic. He knows how to adjust himself in any situation and play any part to get his way, especially when he was younger. He's very smart and knows how to interact with humans very well. I get that impression from the few times he does appear in the series. That doesn't excuse the fact that he creeps me out! Knives is the kind of person who would smile, act friendly, lie to your face while looking you in the eye, and wait for the right moment to stab you in the back without any remorse. -shudders- Believe it or not, I love him for that. I love Legato even more for his total devotion to him. They're great bad guys. Notice that I didn't refer to the Butterfly-Spider Philosophy directly? Please review! NB
