This is JUST a TEASER. Please remember that. I wrote it today during first block. Yes, it will be the prologue once I start adding chapters, but right now it's just the TEASER. So it might take me a bit longer than usual to get the rest of this out. That being said, please enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Trigun or Sailor Moon. In fact, I don't even own Knives. On the Bishounen List, he belongs to Lizzi. I do have Vash, Wolfwood, and Legato though! Go me!!
Warnings: Slight angst at the beginning (and possibly throughout), and some spoilers for Trigun. Not too bad though. At least I don't think so.
Enjoy!
*************************
Redemption
Prologue: Lost Souls
*************************
Humans say that everyone is different, but to me they are all the same. They are all filthy spiders, and I am a butterfly. My moronic brother believes that they deserve to live. Should I bother to find out why? Should I try to find a way to redeem my soul? The humans use and kill my brethren, so I punished them. Is that so very wrong? Now I'm sounding my brother, the love-sick fool!
Maybe there is something to this emotion called love. Should I give it a chance? Then again, who could love someone like me? Could I truly fall in love with a human? Is it really possible, or am I now living in Vash's dream world?
************
I have lived for so many years. When will it end? When will I be in peace? I cannot allow myself to make friends or fall in love. How can I when I know that they will grow old and die while I stay home and live? Am I being punished for failing to save planet Earth and my senshi? It broke my heart enough when we were forced to land on Gunsmoke.
I know why we did, too. I know everything about Vash the Stampede and his brother Millions Knives. I can feel their pain at night we all else is asleep. This is all my fault; I allowed the Plant Angels to be used so I could redeem myself to the humans, in my own mind at least. I was young, blinded, and foolish.
I have redeemed myself to the humans. How can I now redeem myself of the wrongs I committed while doing it?
************
I once knew someone who meant a lot to me. She lived aboard the SEEDS ship and took care of me when Rem was busy with Vash; Rem Saverem always did like my brother more. She would ignore me at times. Then they found her; she was unconscious in one of the holds. I had been the first one of all to lay eyes on her. The moron had threatened me with a beating if I didn't clean the floors of the ship.
The humans had used up all the mops, so I had to go into the hold for cleaning supplies for another one. No one had been into that hold yet, and they had sent me on purpose. To them, the oldest of the plants was expendable. Rem cared for Vash too much to get to him, but she left me alone a lot, which made me free game for them.
Then I had found her. She was frozen in the hold in some type of crystal casing which melted away as soon as I had touched it. She was taken in as part of the crew. The girl had claimed amnesia, but I did not really believe her. Since she supposedly could not remember her name, I had been allowed to choose one for her: Usagi. I named her Tsukino Usagi.
Usagi was different; she cared for me more than she did for Vash, which was highly unusual, but I was not about to complain. She told me that sometimes sacrifices were necessary for the good of all, but to never take one life to save my own. I lived on that belief for a long time. I killed for the sake of my all, my kindred.
Then she was gone. Usagi had disappeared forever in a way similar to which she appeared: suddenly and with no notice. Afterwards, her hold became my sanctuary. Nothing could touch me there. Then I realized that the moron must have done something to her as punishment for caring for me. So I took my revenge.
I should have been happy, and I pretended to be for appearances around my brother. Then why do I still feel empty? Usagi! Where are you?
************
I can still remember his smile that he created especially for me. He was just a boy at the time, but I loved him as I had never thought possible. Both Knives and Vash were cute, but Knives gave me joy, joy that I had thought I'd lost long ago.
Fate told me to leave him because I would prevent certain things from happening. Like a fool I did as she requested. And what has happened as a result? Knives is hurting! Vash is hurting! I am hurting! Are you happy now, Fate? After all the trouble you went through to make us miserable, I certainly hope so. Vash seems to be happy now, but Knives... He needs love. He needs my love. He needs me.
And I need him.
************
Two lost souls are searching through the abyss for each other. One needs to find his love and her compassion; the other needs to feel them once more through him. Will Fate be kind to the two and allow them to find each other once more? Or will they be ripped apart before they are given the chance?
Only time will tell.
************************
Well, that's it. Keep in mind that it's a teaser (it's actually about a page longer than it was originally), but please R/R for me to continue!!
Thanks,
Koneko
