Rebirth

(hey, y'know what? Slothy reminds me of Vash the Stampede for some reason.)

Yup, some good ol' fashioned SlothXKali fluff... oddly enough, I make a lot of chapters just that. Well, soak it up in this chapter, and maybeby the end you will learn it MIGHT come to an end! BUAHAHAHAHAH!
You shall see in next chapters!

Okay, since I had to do A LOT of research to pull this off, I must change the title and know that I promised you that chapter before because I improvise way too much! so dont hate me if you were looking forwards to it! lol, and like I'll say at the end of the chapter this is around episode 37! so hopefully you've seen that far cuz there will be spoilers!

Ch.6- Past Two Towns, Sights From A Train

Sloth awoke, peering out the window. 'Life in the countryside looks so peaceful. I'd like to think that one day I could live out with some...'

"Chickens! how cool! i've never seen one alive before!" Kali said suddenly, jumping off his lap like theres no tomorrow to peer out the window.

He yawned, and finally happy he could stretch, took advantage of this opportunity by doing so.

"OH HEY, COWS TOO!" she yelled. "IS THAT A HORSE... nope just a donkey... OH, OH, OH, THERES ONE!" she squealed.

He truly was amused. She could entertain herself so well. He looked out the window. Risembool was known for being a great farming community, they were probably only there by now since he has woken up quite a few times when the train had stopped in smaller areas. They should be leaving it soon to pass the larger town of Lior.

She finally sat back down when the attendant came by, asking them what they would like for breakfast from the carts choices.

"Good morning. Would you like something to eat? you have your choice of pancakes or pigs-in-a-blanket with a side of fruit and milk.

Kali wrinkled her nose. "Plain or chocolate?" she asked.

"Plain, but I suppose I could have it specially made for you little girl," she smiled.

Kali smiled back brightly. "Thanks! I'll have pancakes and chocolate milk then. But no fruit please." she said.

"Alrighty then. And for the father?" she asked.

"Uhm." he thought. First of all, he was never hungry. The only reason why he would ever get food was to feed Stacy, not himself, but he knew it would look suspicous if he didn't order, and second of all he isn't her father and he wonders if he should tell a complete stranger that... he thinks too much.

"He'll have the same!" Kali ordered for him, grinning at him.

The woman nodded after a second, handed them their ordersand left to get the chocolate milk, shutting the compartment door.

"Why'd you do that?" Sloth asked after a second.

"Because you look like you couldn't make up your mind, so I did for you. Swowwy." she said between mouthfuls of pancakes.

"Yeah, no problem..." he said, picking at his pancakes leaving the two with an uncomfortable silence as they ate.

The woman came back, Becky, as they read on her nametag, with the chocolate milk, smiled, and left. Showing very little sign of suspicion, thankfully.

'Not that were hiding anything... I dont think.' he thought. 'Then again, she said so herself she practically did run away from home... could her parents be so bad that they wouldn't have the law offictials after them?

"...so hey," she said to break the silence, although Sloth doubted she felt the same about it as he did, "about last night... im really sorry I broke out like that and snapped at you... I have my reasons, though." she said silently, the rattle of the train beneath her gave her an odd look of sorrow that made Sloths stomach knot.

"You said you ran away," he edged on, "why? what was so bad?" he asked, once again, since last night.

She clenched her fists and looked at him. "Do you... promise not to tell anyone, Sloth?" she asked.

He nodded and she sighed.

"I was... kidnapped... and raised by my... 'parents' as their own. They couldn't have kids, I guess, since Sharyn often cried when I asked them if I could have a sister when I was littler. I actually couldn't remember until about last year. I can only remember that I was snatched from my bed, crying for my mother, and my... 'parents' trying to make me stop yelling for her. They knocked me out and... I lost my memory of before somehow. I dont know what is wrong, why they would do such a thing, they always seemed very nice to me. That is why I am joining the military, to get leads on where my real parents are... I dont know what to do, otherwise..." she whispered, her eyes glossing over, she refused to cry again in embarassment more than anything else in his presence. "But I... I didn't want to leave home alone... I didn't know anyone else so... so I had you come with me instead because you seem very nice and saved me from those shopkeepers since I stole from them some things I wanted to take with me along the way." she reached into the small pack in which she had slung over her shoulder from the day before and showed him a brightgray stone broken in half, the inside was shining a catching silver-blue.

She grabbed his hand and gave it to him, smiling. "Its a moon stone. Its supposed to make one balanced to do what is right in the situation, sort of a yin and yang thing. It also is supposed to protect lost travellers when they cant find their way. This way we both have the same one, so if we ever get separated we can find each other..." she said, blushing lightly, "of course you have to believe it works for it to help..." she took her hand quickly away from his. "I made them both into necklaces... dont hit it on anything, it can get scratched easily..."

He examined the stone. "You must know your rocks, huh?" he smirked.

She shrugged and leaned back, happy he didn't call her an idiot, although she felt like one at the moment. "I do like to study them, above all else... kind of boring, huh?"

He pulled the necklace over his head and tucked inside his shirt, he couldn't get rid of his smile if he tried. "Not at all."

They put their pancake trays on the cart as it came by and peered out the window once more. Nothing but more countryside, but by three they could see the outline of the city of Lior on the horizon.

The train had stopped there, giving Kali a good chance at a good look at the people. They were slightly darker skinned, most of them at least, and there seemed to be a lot of soldiers. One was at the door of the train, searching anyone to get on the train. Thankfully no one had anything of danger to anyone, and the train sped off at a slow pace.

Kali made a face and waved at the soldier, who smiled at her, but made no sign of waving as the train sped off.

She sat back down and heaved a sigh as they passed the last of the buildings to reach even more countryside.

"You know, we'll be there by morning." Sloth assured her.

She nodded in response and lay back down, looking at the convenient clock that was attached above their heads. It was 6, the sun would start to go down soon and they'd reach town by tomorrow morning, Kali assured herself.

Although, they didn't know why the train stopped so early, or why, maybe it had to do with that person... outside...

Okay, i'll make things a little more... clear for you in future reference. All the old humunculus are alive, not one of them is dead, its actually around... I'd say... episode 37?

So, the train stops. What is it? it appears to be a woman... oh no, shes in Sloth's arms- and MUCH too close to his face to be a comfortable place in Kali's eyes... she will not flip out, she will NOT flip out! Too late. Her jealousy at a high!
