Ch.2 legato-

The first thing legato felt when he regained conscious was a warm softness around him. That was strange he was warm? He cracked an eye open and tried to get his bearings, he shot straight up when he realized he was in a room not his own. Where was he? What was he doing here? How did he get here? So many questions where going though his mind he didn't realize some one walked in, not until said person almost dropped his trey on the floor.

"legato!"

vash said loudly, startling the blue-haired man.

"you're a wake! That's great, you recovers a lot faster than I thought, but then again I kida expected you to, oh here I bet your hungry I brought you something incase you woke up…"

vash talked a mile a minuet, obovisously very nervous a bout having legato a wake and being completely alone. Vash rushed over but stopped when legato flinched back looking scared, so he continued very slowly. It sort of gave vash the impression of trying to catch a very frightened kitten. When he reached the bed he spoke very softly.

"h-how are you feeling"

a simple question, it was probly best to bombard him with to much right now. Legato answered his question with his own.

"a-am I in haven?"

he was very confused at seeing vash and seeing a perfect being could only mean that he died and went somewhere else and he just couldn't imagine vash in hell (can you?) vash laughed lightly, was he really that out of it?

"no you still alive"

legato's heart sank, he was alive after all, and that meaned he failed, knives would not be happy with him. Seeing legato expression only confirmed vash's worries, he was worried that legato would not want to be alive. He tried his best to cheer him up and reached out and ran a hand through legatos hair, Vash grimaced as he felt how greasy is felt from not being washed for so long.

"Ya know I think a bath would help you feel better"

He said trying to sound cheerful. Legato gave him another sad look and looked down in shame. He was alive he knew that much, but why was Vash being so nice to him? Vash gently shaking him to stand up interrupted his train of thought, he let Vash help him stand up seeing as how his legs where asleep and tingling. Once they reached the bathroom he began the water and waited for it to start to warm up, he noticed that legato had made noticed to undress.

"Hey what are you…"

He trailed off when he saw legato looking at himself in the mirror with a look of absolute horror.

"M-my hair…"

He said slowly raising his hand to his now short-cropped blue hair.

"I'm sorry, but they had to cut it off so they could operate, but it is growing back"

He said trying to comfort him. It wasn't working. Vahs grabbed his arm and led him to the bath, when legato made no move to undress himself vahs tried to undress him himself, a very dangerous move, but legato made no move to object to vash contu\inued. When he reached for the boxers legato slapped his hand a way.

"Ow! If you wanted to undress yourself you should of said something."

He said a little annoyed. Legato just stared at him with a defeated look and vash calmed himself.

"I'll leave you alone so you can get clean, would that be better?"

Legato nodded and vash handed him a towel and left. Legato let out a sigh of relief and finished what vash started and sunk into the warm waiting water. He hand to admit it did feel good to be able to relax, even for a minuet. He lowered himself in deeper and began to doze off into a light sleep.

' Legato '

He heard his masters voice enter his mind.

' legato, can you hear me?'

' y-yes master I can, where are you? '

' down the hall, come get me so we can leave '

'y-yes m-master I'm coming '

legato thought and careful tried to rise to his feet. He was nervous about seeing his master, epically since he failed in his mission to be killed. That moment vash came into the room with new cloths for the psychic to were.

"I wouldn't bother, I over heard your and knives conversation and I'm afraid that you two cannot leave, knives knows he shouldn't be trying to leave on account of the agreement we made, I guess I cant expect him to change over night."

Vash said smiling. Legato was amazed that vash had heard them, was he that weak right now that he couldn't even shield his thoughts from others around him?

"Besides you two wouldn't last 3 days in the dessert in you condition."

Vash handed him the cloths, nothing special, just black jeans with a white button up top.

"they might me a little big, since I don't know you exact size, your awfully thin…"

he said noticing how think legato looked, didn't knives ever feed him? Legato took the cloths and waited for vash to turn his back to him. Vash did and legato put on the new cloths that where, infact, too big for him. Vash was thinking about something that he noticed about legatos body, his skin was so smooth and perfect, witch made him wonder why? He always figured knives would have beat him or something but there wasn't a bruise or scratch on him. Once legato was dressed in his oversized cloths vash turned and faces him.

"Would you like to see knives?"

Seeing the scared look on legatos face told him he was defiantly nervous about confronting knives.

"Don't worry I won't let him hurt you."

Legato felt a little bit better, legato followed vash out of the room to knives room. When they entered they where greeted by tow pairs of eyes, one glaring daggers at them and the other looking like a frightened child. Legato paid no attion to wolfwood but looked only at his master. He winced when he saw the lather straps that held him down, he took s couple of hesitant steps forward.

"M-master…."

He said in a small voice, knives just glared even deeper.

"I told you to come get me before vash found you!"

Legato flinched.

"Hey its not his fault, I heard your conversation with him and I just got there when he was about to get you.!"

Vash said looking adjtated.

"You can't tell him what to do vahs, he belongs to me"

Knives growled.

"No knives he doesn't belong to any one any more, you know that, you knew the minuet that I won you hand to do things my way…."

They continued to argue, not noticing that legato was slowly backing a way. He kept doing so until he hit a wall and slowly slid down hugging his knees to his chest, and cried, he actually cried,. for the first time in years he cried like a little child, wishing that both would stop yelling. Only wolfwood seemed to notice legatos distress at first he was shocked at legatos display of actually emotion, but soon surprise faded to concern and legato only wept harder. Wolfwood let out a loud whistle:

"Hey you two!"

He said pointing to legato, who was paying no ation to any thing.

"Legato! What's wrong?"

Vash said grabbing his shoulders and shaking him slightly. Legato tensed up and only cried harder. Wolfwood staggered out of his bed and made his way next to vash. His comforting instincts getting the best of him. They both tried their best to calm the distressed legato but nothing seemed to be working. After a few minuets legato began to calm and stop crying before falling asleep. Huh? Well that was weird. Not sure what just exactly happened, vash shook him a little.

"Legato?"

"Don't worry he fine, just sleeping"

"Did you do this?"

Vash said looking confused.

"Yes, I just used a mind trick on him to make him relax and sleep, I did it all the time when he was a child, I couldn't stand the whining. "

both vash and wolfwood gave him a strange look, not quite understanding what he meant. Knives sighed and continued to explain.

"I just soothed his chaotic thoughts, and…I guess you could call it a lullaby with out words"

knives said with a small blush, feeling rediculs about describing it that way. Vash gave him a warm look and knives just glared feeling even more foolish. Knives would never tell any one about how gentle he really was with legato, (which for knives, can be really gentle if he concentrates) it wasent as if he never ht legato, its just that he never hit him hard enough ot leave any marks. Vash was still smiling, genuine even. Trying to change to subject he finally took notice of legatos hair.

"what happened ot his hair? Its about as short as mine."

Knives pointed out. Vash sighed and picked legato from the floor.

"like I told him, they had to cut it for surgery…"

truth be told, vash sort of liked legatos hair short, it made him look less intimidating. Knives was thinking the same thing but would never say it to any one. Vash took legato to his room to let him get some rest, vash, with legatos now clean hair, ran his fingers through the short blue locks. Legato hummed in his sleep and turn his head towards the hand…

"Master…"

he whispered in his sleep, vash smiled lightly. Vash made his way back to his brothers and wolfwoods bedroom. They where already falling asleep, guess that sleeping pill worked. Vash walked over to wolfwood and covered him up with the blanket.

"Thanks tongari…"

vash smiled and said his good nights to wolfwood then made his way to knives bed. Vash covered him up and kissed his forehead, which made wolfwood bristle.

"Good night knives"

he whispered and took his leave to his own bed. And, for the first time in weeks vahs got the rest he so desperately needed.
