Hey Trigun fans! I found this anime on Netflix and even though I'm not done with the series yet, I couldn't help but share my story to the magnificent world of Fanfiction net! My favorite characters are Vash and Wolfwood and I'm hooked on this anime so much that it's the only thing I look forward to watching at night! I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: No way in Hell I own Trigun. If I did, Vash and Meryl along with Wolfwood and Milly (Cutest couple eva!) would be together from the start! I only own my one OC, the Tainted Stealer/ Rachel Evans...

Trigun story

Chapter 1- The Reward: $$40 thousand double dollars

"Get back here you-" My so called 'bounty hunter' screamed at me as I ran. He was cut off when he fell inside a sand ditch, trying to follow me as I went around the City of April. The other two hunters came up behind me when I stopped for a second to catch my breath. Ha! They're fools if they think they can catch me! I was the well known Tainted Stealer for Pete's Sake!

I suddenly turned down a dark alley trying to throw off my chasers. Too bad for me, a dead end. Nothing except a few windows and a half broken ladder. I took my chances with the ladder. I threw my treasure on top of the roof, which was a bag full of jewels, and then climbed up the rickety ladder. My olive oil skin shivered in the cold breeze and ruffled my pixie cut bronze hair. I heard the men yell in frustration when they saw me on the roof. Some of the men pulled out guns and took their aim, then fired. Slim chance that they'll hit me, I have the dodging skills of a madman! So I turned the other way and ran into the night, I wonder what the head lines would say...

So once I found my safe hiding place, went to sleep for a couple hours, I got up and disguised myself like I usually did. I roamed the city for a bit before I settled down in a local diner which had really good chicken. Even though I vowed to keep my real identity a secret, I guess it won't get any harm done if I keep reassuring myself that I'm me, and not a bad person. I am Rachel Evans, a big time bandit or thief who ran away at the age of seven. I don't want to become someone I'd hate to be, a killer. I don't feel like making myself all gloomy either, it makes me sluggish. Also because I'm starving of death!

Once I sit down and tear apart my lunch, I'm finished in minutes. Apparently it was good timing too, because the door bashed open and wanna be robbers popped in. They had their guns up in people's faces and shouting threats. It's sad to see that I don't do that and I'm a bigger bandit than they'll ever be! Suddenly a skinny man propped a gun in my mouth, also screaming demands. I just rolled my golden eyes at this pathetic sight, making the gunman angry. He shoved the barrel of his gun in deeper, I just glared harder.

I could just tell by looking at him that he was scared of me. I don't blame him though, I am the Tainted Stealer after all.

"What the Hell? S-She's the Tainted Stealer!" The man pulled out his gun and scrambled away from my table. All eyes and guns were aimed at me, ready to fire at any sudden movement. Though I have to say, I'm surprised they saw through my thick trench coat and shaded sunglasses. I guess my really short hair, for a girl anyway, gave it away.

There have been some rumors going around that I kill people who are innocent in cold blood but in truth, I only do that when the situation calls for it. I've also been blamed for seducing men to make them bend to my will, that's also a lie. Another is that I've never missed a shot, that rumor was indeed true.

But anyway, I stood up and overlooked my tight situation. There were at least ten bystanders held hostage and movement was limited with them. The gunmen however, were sweating a little too much with guns pointed at my head and chest. I'm glad I wore my thigh high combat boots with leather straps today, those are the only pair that can hide my pair of extreme sharp shooters. Those idiots need to know who their reckoning with!

I threw off my heavy coat and yanked out my pistols, aiming them at two random gunmen. My glare was directed at the enemy, my grip on my guns never easing.

"Excuse me, but could any of you help me open my- YAOW!" A tall blonde in red called, that is until I pulled my trigger thinking it was one of the enemy's tricks. He dodged it, amazingly, while stumbling into the head man of the gunmen. He got mad, shot at this lunatic but he fumbled around like an ungraceful butterfly, managing to avoid any scrape or wound. But I can't say that about the foe, they were being stupid and shooting each other when they think they have this guy cornered.

"Missed me!" I shouted as I saw a buff bandit try and shoot at me but missed. In turn I shot him in the knee cap causing him to topple over in pain. I leaped over tables and took down the enemy one by one, with the accepted help of the spiky blonde man. Soon all the bandits were either knocked out or bleeding in agony. I caught my breath and looked to the man who helped me, he just smiled and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Freeze!" I heard someone behind me yell. I felt a cold sensation on the back of my head, a gun barrel. I tensed up with my hands calmly raised while the guy in red backed up towards the door. Such a coward! But I had a plan to escape but it had to be timed right. The owner of the gun on my head was shaking, he was probably going to pull the trigger at any sudden movement. So, I could fake something to make him miss. I suddenly sneezed and ducked down when he shot the gun, almost missing the blonde guy, I sweep kicked the bartender and booked it.

"Hey, wait up!" I heard the tall man in red shout as he kept my fast pace. Why the Hell was he following me? He and I made it to an empty shack in one, breathless piece. Surprising the guy, I tripped him, making him fall on his back. I then crouched on top of him with my gun to his chin. I'm not letting anyone turn me in, not today!

"Whoa! I was just wondering what a pretty girl like you was doing in a gun war back there? You could have gotten hurt." The man said as he tried to push the gun away, I just dug in harder.

"I'm not stupid! You just want to kill me for my bounty!" I shouted. He looked confused.

"Bounty?"

"Yeah, you do know what that is, right?" I questioned his stupidity.

"Of course I do! I have one myself." He trailed off. Then something ticked in my head. He looked so familiar, I've seen him on signs. This imbecile is Vash the Stampede! I took the gun away and got up.

"Damn, I'm in some deep shit with you aren't I? They'll probably think that I'm your partner in crime or something like that!" I said out loud as Vash got up and dusted himself off.

"Well, now that's settled, who are you? I haven't seen you before." Vash said as I turned to look at him.

"I'm known as the Tainted Stealer. My bounty is $$40 thousand double dollars, dead or alive." I said as I began to walk away. I didn't have time to chit chat when the townspeople were probably starting a mob. I felt myself being pulled back by Vash's hand.

"What's your real name? Maybe I could be your body guard." Vash said as he pulled me closer to him. Freaking pervert! I ripped myself from his grasp and turned to point my gun at him.

"So your saying we should team up? Not in a million years, Stampede!" I called out as I lowered the gun down and put it back in my boot holster. He had that determined look on his face, like he was going to change my mind. I just adjusted my golden turtleneck shirt and turned to leave.

"Do you expect those bounty hunters to go easy on you just because your a girl? Trust me, you'll need my services." He replied. I glanced over my shoulder to look at his face. It was suddenly genuine and a serious look plastered on his face. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have him tag along, to help me get more treasure that is. I sighed and walked back up to him, my hand outstretched.

"Fine, you can be my body guard," His face lit up at the news. "But, you have to promise to stay out of my way and protect me at the same time! Got it?" I stated as he shook his head rapidly. I sighed and rubbed my head, this was gonna be one heck of an adventure with the legendary Vash the Stampede around. I hope it's a wild ride though, I don't do well with the plain and ordinary lifestyle.
