Chapter 1: He's Back

Legato felt strange. No, not strange, alive! He was alive, but didn't Vash kill him? Yes, Vash shot him in the head. He died on a rock, he was...smiling. Not only was he alive and confused but he was, cold? On Gunsmoke? No he was dead and in hell, that's the only explanation. He looked around, 'What is this,' he thought. He looked around where he was and there were people all around him. They crowded around him in a circle. In times like these Legato love to either lick, or stroke that arm of his. But one little problem, the arm was gone, blood everywhere. (Poor Leggy ()

"Out of my way," he heard a girl yell. She didn't have to push through, everyone moved out of the way. Legato looked up at her as she neared him and thought, 'Wow, she's beautiful.'

"I'm not even going to as which one took the arm, because you all know I know! Now I want that arm at my house in 5 minutes or that someone is getting hurt," she was quite serious. No one had ever heard her get angry like that, she was usually calm and playful with everyone. No one moved, until she glared at the crowd and everyone left. She turned back to Legato with a sincere look in her eyes and he fell unconscious.

He awoke by the sound of someone talking. A few words caught his attention: A kiss from your lips is all I need to live. Not food nor water, just one kiss. Legato felt much better than before, yet he still didn't know how he came back.

"Finally awake, are you Legato?" The voice of that girl from before said.

"How...how do you know my name," Legato said struggling to sit up. He was unsuccessful and plopped back down.

"Oh, I know everything Legato. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm much older than I look," she said smiling. She touched his forehead with the back of her hand, then his cheek with her palm. "You no longer have a fever, that's good but you still need rest. So relax, enjoy your rest, have happy dreams, and smile." She smiled at him, kissed his forehead, and ruffled his hair as if he were a child.

She was about to leave and Legato asked, "What's your name?"

She turned and smiled at him and as she left he heard her voice in his head say, "My name is Orchid."
