Chapter 6:

"You heard me! I know everything about you. You don't have to be this way." struggling to get up.

Those words made him even angrier. He walked towards her and grabbed her again by her neck and said…

"You and your sister think that you know me so well, well you don't." screamed Knives as Vicky struggled to breath.

Just then, Beth and Vash arrived to see the shocking situation.

PUT HER DOWN, KNIVES!!!- screamed Vash as he tried to get closer.

You and your sister don't know the have of what I've been through and you do not know what is like! - screamed Knives at the breathless Vicky which he threw to the floor.

Just then, deep in Vicky's mind, something ticked. She has had enough.

"I do know what you've been through more then you think! All your life thinking that your mother is dead and then when your father dies, you receive a letter telling you that your mother is alive! You start looking for two individuals who could help you find her and it turns out that one of them killed her!

By hearing this, everybody was paralyzed with shock, including Knives. She began walking towards Knives and grabbed him by the neck, strangling him.

"You bastard! You killed Rem! You killed are fucking mother!" strangling him harder and harder.

"After that, we kept looking for the two of you because we wanted an explanation. Just why, why did you killed her!" and tears came down her red face.

She started to let go of his neck but still grabbing him by the neck of his shirt and crying hysterically.

For the first time in his life, Knives did not know what to do. For the first time he actually cared.

"Searching for the two of you we suffered from hell. We got beat up by men who tried to steel are things and one time, we even got raped!" and she hysterically began throwing punches at him, but he stopped her by grabbing her.

"All are lives have been about the consequences of your actions!" as she just slowly fell to the ground just crying her heart out.

"Beth, is this true?" asked Knives, letting go of Vicky.

But Elizabeth did not answer. Only tears began to come down her face. She looked at the ground not being able to bare the look in his eyes.

Then, with no look back, she began running away from everything; away from him and the reality of her past.

Vash just couldn't believe his eyes. He wanted to say something but what could he say. The shock was just too much. He finally got closer to Vicky and said…

"Everything is going to be alright. I'm not going to let anybody hurt you anymore." caressing her hair.

She looked up to see who it was when she was caught deep in Vash's eyes, reminding her of all the feelings and memories she just went through.

"I… I can't. I'm sorry." said Vicky and began running away from Vash.

"Vicky!" called Vash.

He turned around and saw Knives completely shocked and said…

"See what I've been trying to tell you for the past 130 years." and turned away.

Knives couldn't believe what just happened. He had never thought that out of his actions would come so many results. Just then, he realized that Beth had run away and that he was left alone; he began running after her.

"I don't know why but I'm not going to do it again." he thought while looking for her.

"Victoria! Vicky! Where are you?!" called Vash.

The only thing that he could use for guidance was the sound of her running footsteps. And then they stoped. When he didn't hear anymore her footsteps he panicked began to run faster and faster. While hi was running he sees a lump on the floor. It was none other then Vicky.

"Vash?" said Vicky in a very small voice

He quickly ran and gathered her in his arms so delicately.

"Are you ok? Why didn't you tell me before? I thought you trusted me! We were in this together!"

"Just stop it Vash!" shouted Vicky, pushing him away.

"Victoria?"

"I'm sorry, Okay!? I just couldn't tell you! I didn't want you to treat me with any special treatment!" – turning away from Vash.

He started walking slowly towards her. Gently, he turned her around and caressed her face like for some reason it would break in his hands.

"But YOU better then anyone knows that I wouldn't do that. The only reason why I treat you the way I treat you is because you deserve it and because you are very special to me."- looking deep into her eyes. "And I…

She stopped him with her hand slowly covering his mouth and said "Don't speak."

They both became face to face and then, they finally gut the courage and kissed. But it wasn't just a kiss. That kiss was made with true love and passion; a passion that both have been holding for a long time.

When they ended the kiss, Vash hugged her happy that she in a way knew what he felt for her. He leaned and gently said in her ear… "Let's go and look for your sister."

"I have to leave. I can't stay here anymore. I can't go back to Knives now. What will I say to him? No. I won't look back." Elizabeth thought to herself.

As she was running a shadow stopped her. A shadow that she knew all to well.

"Hello Elizabeth."
