~What
a nice birthday present for Vashy…~
Mishi thought evilly as she finished her 'modifications' on the fridge.
Snickering, she rose back up to the author's domain in the sky to wait and see
what will happen in the morning…
~Midnight,
time for a snack~ Vash rose
from his bed as quietly as possible, so he would not disturb his light sleeping
roommate. Careful not to step on the floorboards that creaked as he had learned
yesterday, he tried to make his way across the room to where the door resided,
but, being the clumsy fool that he was, he managed to step on EVERY floorboard
that creaked creak creak creak Wolfwood's eyes snapped open creak creak creakity crunch!! "oomph!" Vash slapped a hand over his mouth
and peered into the dark room for those twin sparkles that alerted him that his
roomie was awake. Finding none, Vash slowly opened the door and crept
downstairs towards the kitchen (why he and Wolfwood were always UPstairs was
beyond him.) Wolfwood closed his eyes again, it was the same every night, he
could hear Vash rummaging through the fridge's contents now. But what he didn't
expect was…..
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" CRASH!!!
Wolfwood shot up
10 ft out of his bed and promptly banged his head on the ceiling with a loud CLUNK!! Wolfwood stumbled down the stairs, tripping over
Kuroneko…twice…before walking into the kitchen to behold…
A half naked juice stained Vash, that
only came up to his knees. "What…the…hell?" Wolfwood asked, more to himself
then the kid.
"Oooooooh, you
said the 'H' word" Vash taunted in his now ten-times-higher-then-normal chibi
voice. Meryl then took this time to storm into the kitchen with a half-asleep
Millie in tow, as in her nature, Meryl started blabbing with her eves closed
before she could notice (or anyone could tell her) of Vash's little Ahem,
'Problem.' " Vash and Mr. Wolfwood, this is the second time this month we have
woken up by screaming and loud crashing and banging noises." Meryl stated, all
matter-of-factly, Millie had already seen what had happened and was trying to
get her blind friend Meryl to notice. "Um, Meryl…-" "And furthermore." Meryl
cut Millie off "MERYL!!" Millie shouted, pointing to the wet, stained, chibi
Vash. "What the…Vash! What have you gotten yourself into??!" Meryl recovered
quickly from her initial shock, pointing an accusing finger at Vash. "I dunno
Mewuh, I wen tuh duh fwige tuh get sum snackies an diws hawpins tew meh!!" Vash
cried, acting as frustrated as everyone else. "Well Wolfwood, since Millie and
I are working, and well, your not," Meryl began, as calmly as if this sort of
thing always happened. Wolfwood stared at her ~oh no…. anything but…~"you
have babysitting duty."
Vash giggled and splashed at the
water, right into Wolfwood's face. "You know Needle Nogan, you're more trouble
now as a six year old then you were when you were what? 138?" But Vash wasn't
listening, he was too busy rocking back and forth, back and forth, back and
forth in the tub to make a huge wave.
" TII~DAL
WAAAAAAAVE!!!!" Vash screamed as a huge bubbly arc cascaded over their heads.
"
#$%&*%$#*!$*&*%&%#@^%&!!!!!!!!"
Meryl looked up from her sewing to see
a very nekkie Vash come tearing down the stairs laughing manically, and a very
sopping wet and angry Wolfwood hot on his heels. Nicholas grabbed a towel from
the table and threw it over the blonde boy, blinding him. Vash tripped and
landed hard on the floor, Wolfwood scooped him up and carried the thrashing
mass of limbs up the stairs to their room before dumping the ball of skin and
towel unceremoniously on the bed. Vash popped his head out "sowwy daddy" he
apologized meekly. "D-Daddy?? That dosen't cut it." Wolfwood replied, as he
toweled off the boy. "Stay here" he commanded as he went downstairs to fetch
new clothes for Vash from Meryl.
"s-st-stop
squirming nnughn!" Wolfwood grunted as he tackled the blonde boy for the fifth
time in two minutes on the floor, for about three seconds before Vash managed
to weasel out of his arms again. "Gosh darnett Vash, OW shit!!" Wolfwood swore
as Vash bit him on his arm and went tearing down the stairs nekkie (again)
before Wolfwood had a chance to put on Vash's new chibi clothes on him. This
time though, it was Meryl who tripped the rambunctious youngster and dumped him
on the floor before the seething priest. Wolfwood hastily tried to dress the
blonde before he could cause any more trouble naked, at least now, he would be
clothed, but it seemed the harder he tried, the longer it took, eventually he
managed to get all the clothes on the boy about a half hour later. On the way
down the stairs, Wolfwood 'accidentally' tripped Vash, causing the chibi to
walk the rest of the way downstairs, on his head. Wolfwood laughed and dragged
the boy outside to play with 'normal' children until he could figure out what
caused this strange anomaly. He instantly looked up as he heard Vash's unique
screech reach his ears. Franticly darting his eyes around Wolfwood behold Vash,
running as fast as his little legs could carry him, chased by five very angry
looking boys all at once. A shout from behind interrupted their little fiasco
as Meryl shouted at Wolfwood. "Mr. Wolfwooood! Millie and I are out of supplies
for supper. Could you take Vash and go to the store to pick up some stuff for
us please?" Wolfwood looked up, it was fast approaching dusk; the stores would
be closing soon. Meryl hurled a thin donut-frisbee thing at him, and turned to
go back inside. With a squeal, Vash ran up to the flying paper and caught it
before it could reach Wolfwood, he happily tore it open and read what he needed
to get from the store. "Yoink!" Wolfwood said as he snatched the paper from
Vash's hands and dragged the boy with him to the nearest store.
"Lemme see now, that makes um $$
29.92" the store register man said quietly. Wolfwood switched the arm he was
holding the groceries in and looked around for where Vash ran off to, for he
was nowhere to be found, which now, Wolfwood knew, meant trouble. He was about
to go looking in the isles for the illusive boy until he heard Vash's high
pitch squeal.
"TIIIIIIIIIIMBER!!"
Wolfwood turned to
see Vash riding on top of an isle shelf as it toppled over, knocking the next
shelf, which knocked the next, which knocked over the next in a very un-funny
domino effect. The store guy's eyes got as large as saucers as he watched the
detrimental effects this little blonde boy with the spikey hair had. When all
was done and the dust settled, both boy and man turned to see a red-faced store
guy with a very large dangerous looking shotgun. Wolfwoof wasted no time, he
grabbed Vash by his little arm and ran for dear life as bullets whizzed by his
ears, Wolfwood turned the corner and ran straight home with a very hysterical
Vash in tow. He slammed the door behind them and dumped the groceries on the
table before turning his attention to Vash, who was now crying. Wolfwood
cradled the small boy in his arms and rocked back and forth on his toes until
Vash stopped crying.
The rest of the night went by rather
peacefully, as Wolfwood had chastised Vash for his reckless behavior earlier.
They had all eaten supper without incident, washed and put away the dishes, and
had played a board game when Wolfwood heard the clock chime twelve. "Well
needle nogan, I think its time for bed. Err" Vash was laughing behind him. Wolfwood turned around to see a very tall
Vash, who had ripped all his clothes at the seams. "Yhea, I guess so," Vash
continued to chuckle softly to himself as they both went up the stairs and to
the right to their room. Vash bounded in and promptly slid into his donut
pajamas, then he hopped into bed with a small smile on his face. Wolfwood
changes into his pajamas also, and just as he turned, he heard Vash murmur
"thank you for the birthday present Wolfwood." The priest clamored into bed,
before he suddenly realized ~birthday
present?~
