Horror on High
By Junsui na Warui
A/N: Yes! I'm still alive. Imagine that. I haven't had any inspiration to finish my Eva fics, so I thought I'd switch to something I keep thinking about. Anyway, I'll try my best to keep the gang in character. Vash, Wolfwood, Legato, and Knives are all seniors. Meryl and Millie are juniors. Though all the guys still have their mad skills, witty personalities, and gorgeous good looks, none of them have their awesome powers. Sorry! Anyway, on with the show.

Prologue; Acquaintances
It was early in the morning when Meryl Stryfe and Millie Thompson strolled into school with their books tucked in their arms and a cup of coffee in their hands. Today was rainy, one of those days you really didn't want to get up and go out in at all costs. Unfortunately, no matter what the weather may be, the first day of school was a real bummer.
Sighing, Meryl stopped in front of her locker and set her things down on the floor. They were pretty early, hardly anyone was in the hallways. But that was good, because Meryl hated it when she had to struggle just to keep her stuff from being kicked off into the sea of rapidly moving feet.
As soon as she got her new locker open, she filled it with the usual organization tools she'd need to keep her locker the cleanest in her High School. After sticking her magnetic mirror to the door, she pressed it shut and bent over to pick her things up.
The only thing she found, however, was a pair of shiny black boots.
Looking up, Meryl caught eye contact with the tallest man she thought she had ever seen. He had spiky blonde hair and was clad in a baggy pair of dark blue jeans, slimming white T-shirt, and had a silver earring in his left ear. He was beautiful.
Shaking her head, Meryl stood and dusted herself off before facing the man. Or at least, considering her height compared to his, facing him as much as she could. From this view point, she could see that he was the one who had picked up her belongings, but she was more concentrated on his gentle smile and the shade of his aquamarine eyes.
"Hello there, have we met?" The blonde-haired giant asked with a friendly tone.
Meryl wasn't sure where her voice was, but it sure wasn't with her at the time she needed it the most. "I.. I don't think so.." She managed to choke out, knowing it sounded nothing like her.
Yet, he seemed to find it amusing, causing his smile to deepen as he leaned a little to hand her her belongings. "Well then, my name is Vash."
Meryl blinked slightly, taking her belongings from him. She silently wondered whatever happened to Millie as she remained staring up at the man named Vash. The man that was slowly making her feel uneasy by the moment. "Vash.."
He nodded and straightened, bringing a hand behind his head and laughing nervously. "Though, I'm also known as.." He took on a serious expression, his voice deepening to carry emphasis. "Vash The Stampede!"
A sweat drop gathered on Meryl's head as she watched him do various goofy poses all over the place in the empty hall. "Uh.. Mr. Vash?"
Vash stopped and somehow ended up standing right in front of her in that same position again. "Aw, gee, I'm not that great. You can just call me Vash."
"Well, Vash, it's been nice talking to you, but I have to go to class." She said in her usual tone, finally regaining her composure as she stepped to the side and past him, heading to her first period for the day.
Vash blinked and turned around, looking awestruck and somewhat disappointed. "Hey! Wait a sec! You're not gonna tell me your name! C'mon! That's cruel! Have a heart!" Noticing she wasn't listening, he hung his head. "Aw man.. I was sure I had it that time."
Chuckling was heard from behind Vash, and he felt a familiar hand pat his back in comfort. "There, there. I'm sure she'll come around."
Vash sniffled and looked up at the man, still slouched in defeat. "Ya think so, Wolfwood?"
Wolfwood nodded and laughed at him solemnly. "Did you not see the way she was taken aback by your approach? You've definitely gotten this one in the bag, needle noggin."
Vash immediately connected his fist with his friends head. "Who're you callin' needle noggin'?!"

Notes: Thought I'd add a little comical Vash and Wolfwood humor that I'm sure everyone loves laughing at. Hope a did a good job!
