Author's Note: This is Green Gallant, with my second Trigun fic. I was doing some research on my favorite character and felt the need to write a fic about Nicholas D. Wolfwood and his struggle between loyalty and friendship. Anyway, I plan on this to be a continuing story revolving around an old bible that was given to him long ago as he tries to see where his real loyalties lies. And where he must choose between good and evil. Enjoy.
Two men stood in the desert on the planet Gunsmoke. Both men were dressed in minister's clothing, one in dark green western garb weaing a black stetson and had prostetic red eyes. The first man's name is Chapel the Evergreen. He carried a large steel cross slung over his back, and had a unrippened green apple in hand. The other one's name is Nicholas D. Wolfwood, a minister dressed in dark blue shirt and pants with a white dress shirt underneath, that was halfway open. The younger man had dark blue hair and matching eyes. Wolfwood also carried with him a large cross that was wrapped in a white sheet and tied down with straps, the cross was strapped to the back of his motorcycle. Desipite thier appearance and title, thier business was less than clerical.
"You have a loyalty to the Gung-Ho Guns, Nicholas." said a man dressed in dark clothes with piercingly eerie red eyes.
"Yeah, yeah I know." said a Wolfwood said leaning against his motorcycle smoking a cigerette.
"Its your responsibility to bring in Vash the Stampede." Chapel said.
Nicholas Wolfwood looked up at his mentor insulted and threw his cigarette on the ground.
"I dont recall being put on a schedule." He growled.
"This is not a game Wolfwood." The red eyed Chapel told him.
Wolfwood stared back at Chapel.
"You are charged with leading Vash the Stampede to Lord Knives so that he may join the Master's side." Chapel told him.
"Like I havent heard this before." Wolfwood replied flippantly.
Chapel grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and looked him in the eye. His menacing ruby red eyes glaring back at Wolfwood's dark blue eyes. The elder Chapel gritted his teeth.
"Do not trifle with me Nicholas!" Chapel growled.
Wolfwood pushed him off.
"I got to go the guys are expecting me back." he said as he got on his bike.
"Remember your obligation Nicholas." Chapel advised.
"Whatever." Wolfwood grumbled as he started up his bike.
He spun his rear tire kicking up sand and dirt as he spun around and made his way back to town leaving his mentor in the dust. The old man stood there watching his student ride off into the horizon. He turned and vanished. Wolfwood arrived back in town a while later where his friends were waiting for him.
"Mr. Wolfwood!" waved Milly.
"Hey!" yelled Vash.
Wolfwood rode up to them and shut off his bike.
"Where were you?" asked Meryl.
"Nowhere in particular." he answered.
"We're going out for lunch." Milly informed him.
"Sounds great." said Wolfwood.
"Hey can we have doughnuts later?" Vash said enthuastically.
"You'll eat the whole thing!" said Meryl.
"But I'm hungry." whinned Vash.
"Ugh, something I think your stomach is a bottomless pit." Meryl said covering her head with her hand.
"He is the only person I've seen that can eat a whole box of doughnuts while running." Milly added.
"Hey come on guys, I thought we were going to go eat!" Wolfwood said.
"Yeah let's get going! C'mon I'm hungry!" Vash said pulling on Meryl's arm.
"I'm not paying for your bill this time Vash!" Meryl told him.
"Since when have I ever done that?" Vash asked.
"Everytime! They should put you away for how much you eat!" she said.
"Come on Meryl, cant we just have a nice meal for once?" Milly asked.
"Oh fine! But I'm not paying for your meal Vash." Meryl said as they started walking off.
"Dont worry, I can pay for it myself." Vash told her.
"I'll believe that when I see it." she said.
The gang headed off to the nearest restaraunt for lunch. Wolfwood looked back and out of the corner of his eye he saw Chapel standing on the second floor balcony of a building smiling at him. Wolfwood's eyes narrowed into slits as he glanced back at his mentor.
"Remember your obligation, Nicholas."
"Mr. Wolfwood?" Milly asked.
"Hmm?" Wolfwood turned back to see Milly smiling at him.
"Is something the matter?" she asked.
"No, everything's fine." he smiled.
The young woman took his hand, which took him by suprise.
"Come on, I want to get something to eat! hahaha!" She dragged the preacher along and he ran to catch up with her.
"Whoa, hey! Wait up!" he said trying to keep up with her. Milly giggled as they ran down the street.
"Enjoy it while you can, Wolfwood." Chapel said.
Author's Note: Hey I hope everyone enjoyed this story. I know its short, I did some research on Chapel and Wolfwood last night and this morning and I tried to keep them in character as much as possible. Its been a while since I watched the show. Anyway, let me know what you think and I hope its to the liking of the Trigun fans on here.
Review,
The Green Gallant.
