The Evil Side of Love
I'm finally getting off my lazy butt and writing this! This idea's been on the backburner for months now. This is a Legato/OC fic (with some Knives/OC, possibly). Believe me I'm trying to make sure she's not a Mary Sue. There are also bits of implied shounen ai.
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Trigun, but sadly I don't.
~*~Chapter 1: Snake eyes~*~
A breeze blew papers through the town of Augusta. One hit Legato Bluesummers in the face while he was in the process of eating. "What the hell?" He picked up the paper which turned out to be a wanted poster. "Let's see. 'Claudia Marie'. Pretty name. Though she's not worth as much as Vash so she must not be that bad."
He glanced over her picture. She had blond hair; a few thick locks of it were black. She wore a red, short-sleeved shirt that cut of to show her stomach and shoulders. Her shirt revealed two snake tattoos, one on her shoulder going down her back and the other on her side that went past the waist line of her low cut jeans. "I wonder how far that snake goes. Maybe I could find out for myself, if I'm lucky."
He began looking over her profile. "'Homicidal kleptomaniac'? I like her already! 'Kills anyone and everyone who gets in her way.' I like the sound of that. 'Armed and extremely dangerous' So completely my type! Let's see. She's... sixteen! DAMN IT!!!!!!!!" A bit flustered now Legato picked up his bag of hotdogs and walked off.
On the other side of town, Claudia herself walked into a shop. The woman behind the counter stared in shock. "Wait. You're..."
"Snake eyes Marie." The woman quickly handed over all the money and valuables. "Thank you." Claudia said as she took them and headed to the door. For a moment the shop's customers and owner thought they would get away with their lives, and then Claudia stopped. "Oh! I almost forgot. Do you know my life's philosophy?" Everyone shook their heads. "I see." She calmly reached inside her trenchcoat and turned around aiming a pistol. "Dead men tell no tales."
Later that afternoon Claudia sat in a bar playing poker. The man she was playing against laughed. "Well, well, well, my pet." Claudia's eye twitched. "It seems you have nothing left to bet with." Indeed she didn't. All the money she had stolen earlier along with her jewelry was all on the dark-eyed man's side of the table. Claudia took a second to look at her hand.
"I have an idea. You bet everything you have and I bet myself."
He pondered this. "So I'll get you to do whatever I want with?"
"If you win."
"Deal."
He laughed looking at his hand. "I hope your ready to be mine, pet." He lay down his hand. "Flush. Kings."
Claudia looked at her hands once more. "Pity." The man grinned a lecherous grin. "Looks like I win." She sighed.
"What?" He said in disbelief. "The only way you could do that is if you got a..."
Claudia revealed her hand. "Royal Flush."
The man jumped up knocking over the table and his chair. "You cheating bitch!"
She casually stood up and aimed her gun at him. The fires of hell burning in her crystal blue eyes. She cocked the gun. "I'm a bitch, I'll admit that, but I don't cheat, and no one calls me their pet and lives" Another guy tried to jump her from the side. Without taking her eyes off the first man she pulled out another gun with her free hand and shot them both dead. She collected her winnings and left.
Claudia was walked down the street, not paying attention to where she was going, when she ran into someone wearing a long white coat and carrying a large bag of hotdogs. "Watch it!" she snapped.
"I wouldn't be talking, bitch." Legato responded.
Claudia looked up at him, "And who might you be?"
"Legato Bluesummers." He responded.
She continued to stare. "The Legato Bluesummers?"
"I'm the only one I know with that name. And you are?"
"Claudia Marie."
"You don't say. I was just looking over your wanted poster earlier. Twenty billion double dollars on your head and you're only sixteen? Impressive."
Claudia sighed with a 'Here we go again' look on her face. "I know I look it but I'm actually twenty-one."
"Wait a minute. I don't think I heard you right. How old did you say you were?"
"Twenty-one." She repeated slowly.
Legato looked up, hands clasped as if her were praying. "Thank you." Claudia slapped a hand over her eyes and shook her head. Legato smirked as he wrapped an arm around her waist. Now if he were any other man
Claudia would've shot him dead on the spot, but she liked Legato, so allowed him to do so and lead her away.
Vash, Wolfwood, Milly, and Meryl were sitting down to dinner when Legato and Claudia walked in. Vash and Wolfwood both choked on their drinks when they saw this.
Vash leaned over to whisper to Wolfwood, "Since when does Legato date?"
Wolfwood shrugged. "I don't know. Last I knew he was getting pretty close with Midvalley."
Oddly enough, Legato was attempting to be a gentleman but it wasn't quite working out. It wasn't that Legato couldn't be a gentleman; it was that Claudia didn't seem to like that kind of guy. He decided to try a more forward, dominant approach. His hand, which was on her shoulders, traveled up and his fingers tangled in her long hair. He turned her head to face him and he kissed her. After a minute she kissed him back. And they kissed. And they kissed. And they kissed.
Legato released the lip lock and whispered, "Let's go some where more private." Claudia nodded and followed him out.
Later that night, Legato and Claudia lay in his bed together. "What a night." Claudia said almost breathless. "I'm glad I don't live with anyone, then I'd have to come up with excuses for these marks."
Legato stroked her reddened cheeks. "Did I hurt you?"
She nodded. "But I liked it though. And I know you did too."
"And how would you know this?"
"I could tell when I was abusing you."
"Ya. I guess." Legato agreed rubbing the side of his neck. "You defiantly left your mark."
Claudia moved his hand away and gently examined two puncture wounds. "Oh well. At least now I can lay claim to you."
"Well in that case..." He brushed her hair aside and bit her. She gasped in surprise and clenched her vampire-like fangs due to pain. "There." He said pulling away. "Now I can lay claim to you as well." Claudia grinned as she nipped at his nose. He kissed her as she drifted to sleep in his arms.
