Author's Note: I wrote this a while ago, actually, and just rediscovered it. I still really like it. It was inspired by the scene in the manga when Wolfwood comes to Vash in his seclusion and returns his gun. This beautiful, shining machine. It's...the epitome of bittersweet. shiver Anyway, there's that great shot of Vash in silhouette, with his grin and the weapon held near his head, at the ready. Gorgeous.
Title: Clarion Call
Summary: Some requests cannot be denied.
Rating: K. I guess there's really nothing questionable here.
Soundtrack: None. I'm just that lazy.
-------------------
The sun rises,
Dust rises,
And the smell of blood rises
Over the reek of copper and gunpowder.
Eyes rise,
Tensions rise,
And the anger rises
Over the will to forgive and forget.
Wind rises,
Curtain rises,
And the drive of revenge rises
Over the brilliant sheen of the sun on a silver barrel.
Saddle up.

Nix: Teh end.
