Just
Until Tomorrow Vash the Stampede. It had been a while since I held felt peace. The unfamiliar chittering of the birds could be heard alongside a familiar Meryl humming a tune to a familiar song. It was nice. Her singing was interrupted by a loud 'ching.' She was probably typing up her report for that company she was always talking about. Milly was with her and she was probably still filling out all the paperwork for the damages I had caused a while back. It's okay. I know it's entirely my fault. I've accepted that already. I'm pretty much tired of blaming everyone else for thing's I've done: whether it be a good deed or not. Maybe I'm just tired of wasting all that effort to blame someone else. I don't see how any of them bother. "Vash-san??" I scratched my head and looked up to see Milly poking her head in the room. As usual, a bright smile took resident in her expression. It was refreshing to see her smile. Especially after that whole Wolfwood ordeal. She was a lot stronger than she let on. And I'd bet my life that Meryl would agree. I'd like to think that it surprised Meryl a little bit too. "You brother's awake." "Arigato, Milly." Milly nodded and retreated out of the room. She closed the door and I slipped from the bed to get dressed. I stood by the vanity and stared at what sat not two feet away from me. My gun. I picked it up and began my usual morning routine. The meditation. The juggling. The hand exercises. Just the usual. My thoughts drifted from my exercise back to the previous afternoon. It was so hard to believe everything was really over. It kind of bothered me that I had no purpose left. My whole being was dedicated to finding Knives (and to have fun while doing it of course) but I didn't really stop to think all that time what I would do when I found him. Or what to do after everything was over. It kind of hurt to think that I had no other reason to do what I did. Maybe that's what Knives was trying to do… Give me a purpose other than to be some damn plant. Having the goddamn life sucked out of me just so some damn humans could fucking see in the dark. So they could fucking slap together weapons to kill each other. The egg fell from the nose of my gun. I cursed as it crashed onto the floor with a splatter. I sighed and rubbed the back of my head. I laughed nervously. "Oops…" I muttered to myself. I looked up to the ceiling. That was the second one I had broken. The first was yesterday, before I left to confront Knives. I knew it was a bad omen. I sighed and tossed my weapon onto the bed. I paused once I reached for my red jacket. It wasn't there. That's right… I left it on the battleground…I thought to myself. I sighed and opened the drawer. No clothes. The action was awkward. I always wore that coat and my body armor underneath. I never really had to think about wearing anything else. That red coat must have symbolized my meaning in life. It was gone now. I didn't know where to go. I heard Meryl humming outside again. I listened to her voice and smiled. I guess maybe it wasn't so bad. I slipped on my shirt, stepped outside and whistled along with her song as I passed. Chapter 2 coming soon. Hope you liked it. I'd love some reviews. lol. Take care pplz.
