~~Chapter 1~~

It was starting to get stormy outside, and people were all taking cover in homes adn in the local saloon. Near the back of the saloon, sat a dark, cloaked figure.

she sat there, drinking her 'Wild Turkey' withought any notice of the rough weather outside. Un-noticed by all, but probably suspected, this dark figure held a bronze coloured shotgun tightly in her hand, waiting for the un-suspecting azure traveler.

It took a bit longer than she expected, but the azure traveler did come as planed. She walked into the saloon, covered in a brown trench coat and hat, her azure coloured hair was hardly noticable. The dark figure rose up from her seat in the back of the saloon and pulled her shotgun out from under her black duster. The place was too lively for anyone to notice at all. The dark figure couldn't stand how reckless this azure traveler was being.

Taking quick aim, she pulled the trigger of her bronze shotgun, quickly silencing all chatter adn gaining the attention she wanted.

The traveler slowly and carefully looked down infront of ehr feet, where the bullets had hit. She looked up quickly at the figure holding the shotgun.

"My name is Raven the Black Dragon! Remember that name and be sure to put in a good word for me when you reach the gates of hell! Ro the SandStorm!"

Raven fired her shotgun again, and again, missing the azure traveler each time. Ro pulled out both her 12 inch gray guns and started shooting wildly at Raven whle backing out of the saloon.

The people in the saloon were screaming, taking cover under their tables to avoid stray bullets.

the Black Dragon rolled out of the way of Ro's bullets while re- loading her own shotgun as quick as possible.

Ro hit rock bottom when both her weapons ran out of of bullets. Cursing herself silently, she didn't stop backing up, and bumped into someone. She turned around quickly and looks at who she bumped into, pointing both empty guns at him, thinking this person might be with the Black Dragon.

Seeing the black, clueless expression on this guys face, Ro figures he has just come to have a peacefull drink like she wanted at a local saloon. The SandStorm took this grand oppertunity to gain a human sheild.

Ro runs behind this man in red just as Raven came out of the saloon. Her duster was blown open by the rough winds, revealing her fully loaded shotgun. Ro took this moment of peace to re-load her guns.

Raven aims her bronze shotgun at the man in red.

"Uh, did i miss an important event or what?" he asked slowly, scratching the back of his head.

The black Dragon aim faulters adn she blinks quickly. "Vash?! Vash the Stampede?!! Wonderfull! You'll die also!" Raven pulls the trigger and both Ro and Vash Dodge.

Ro rolled to one side, dodging a few more rounds from Ravens gun. She fires a few shots of her own, and Raven just barely dodged them.

Vash runs past the rolling SandStorm, dodging some bullets that Raven ment for him.

Ro stoped rolling instantly, when a knife was thrown at her. it dug into the ground just a few inches away from Ro's nose. She fliped up to her feet and started chasing after Vash the Stampede.

"Vash-Sama!! wait for me!"

Raven re-loads her shot gun quickly and starts shooting after both people fleeing. she sighs adn lowers her shotgun.

"Damnit... I missed."
