Midnight Sun

(A/N): Hey guys! I just started watching Trigun and instantly found myself addicted. So! I came up with this. Enjoy it or die! Just kidding, hey this world is made of love and peace! Allons-y!

Disclaimer: I don't own Trigun. Just my OC's.

I sighed. I had really no way to explain this, nor did I have any idea how it happened. Yet here I was, sipping some kind of orange juice in a strange saloon thing that seemed way too familiar to be coincidence.

Even stranger was what happened to my ears. My ears were like a cat's now, with dark grey fur covering them. I had also found a strange white gem-thingy with a thin blue line spiraling down to the bottom. It was attached to a small silver chain around my neck when I first woke up in the desert. I didn't feel ready to think about what I had gone through to get here.

Not yet.

I had my new appendages flat against my head so as not to attract unnecessary attention. As I sipped at my drink, I overheard the two men behind me begin a conversation when the door opened. I didn't try to lift my head to the new comer, instead placing it on the table with an un-amused expression on my face. Because really, I just wasn't amused. I heard footsteps heading my way but I remained silent. Next I heard the seat next to me getting pulled out before whoever it was sat down. The bartender walked over and I tuned the exchange out for a second as I thought irritably 'Why right next to me? There's a seat right over there!'

I turned to glare at the stranger but when my gaze landed on him… I started internally screaming. Can you guess who it was? It turned out to be none other than Vash the Stampede! He didn't seem to notice my staring (My glare had immediately dissipated on sight) but I knew better. I studied him carefully. I mean who knows? I might never see him again.

…

Nah, I'm gonna stalk him. More fun that way.

He looked exactly like the anime portrayed him, except it didn't do his looks justice. His hair was just as spiky as it was in the show, and I couldn't see his eyes because his glasses were in the way. He sipped at his drink calmly while I studied his features. It was then I wondered if he would try to "Womanize" me. I huffed out a laugh. Nah, he wouldn't try it on me, I'm not one of those big busted babes he tries to peek at. I had completely ignored the other people in the saloon (I need to practice my speech while I'm here, I would rather call it a bar but…) I was turning back to my drink when I heard the kinda sleazy looking dudes behind me talking about Vash.

"Vash the Stampede?" A hefty sounding guy asked.

A creepy sounding dude responded.

"That's right, he's the man with the sixty billion double-dollars on his head, they say he showed up in danking town (Is that what he said?) recently. Made quite a mess I hear!"

The gruffer voiced man spoke up again.

"Yeah, so what happened?"

"Hehe, the whole town got zapped. Mountains of corpses-"

I tried not to glance at Vash as they continued. It was then I realized I was actually in the first episode. That means… 'Well shit man, I just arrived! Now I'm going to be in a shoot out, not fair!' In the corner of my eye I saw him lower his drink away from his face as the bar tender walked out, trash in hand. I tried to discreetly hide behind the blonde as I heard the large man start fleeing from the building.

I think Vash noticed me, but I didn't care too much at that point. He's going to be my shield whether he likes it or not!

The creepy dudes behind me drew their guns, but not a few seconds later a huge boomerang sliced the building clean in half. Luckily I was too short for it to get too close to my head, but I ducked anyways. Gunshots rang out and I could hear them all around me. I almost panicked but since I wasn't getting hit I decided to at least try to remain calm. I covered my head with my hands as I watched Vash finish his drink while holding up the sign. He seemed perfectly calm.

A little too calm.

The sound of bullets hitting and destroying everything but us really freaked me out but I stamped it down so I could freak out later. Finally the gunshots ceased and the dust and debris cleared away. I heard a few gasps from the men outside what was left of the building as they saw the sign fall from Vash's hands to the ground. The man placed his now finished drink on the table and stood up, turning to face the-Holy shit how many pounds does that guy weigh!? I knew my face changed from tense to WTF!?

I then thought in the most demented corner of my mind 'I bet you have lovely nipples!'

I gagged.

Vash pushed his glasses up with his secretly mechanical arm as the extremely large boomerang flew over his head and back into the ridiculously large mans also mechanical arm.

The big dude grinned. "So I finally found you."

Vash remained silent as he pulled his gun from its holster. The blonde aimed the weapon at the gang, and gunshots rang out.

As I walked up the cliff, near the town I recall being Felnarl town, I found myself laughing over and over again at what had just transpired.

Vash raised his gun and took aim and I found myself stifling giggles at what I knew would occur. He pulled the trigger.

Nothing.

He pulled it twice more before he opened it, the sight making him realize that he had no bullets. His expression nearly killed me. I finally couldn't hold it and burst out laughing as he tried to subtly scoot away. In between giggles I calmed down enough to shout "RUN BOY!" before bullets sprayed the ground around his feet and he began to flee.

Luckily for me nobody seemed to notice my presence and they ran off after him.

I kept on laughing because I kept on replaying the scene again and again until I fell of my chair. As I lay on the ground I found myself calming down enough to follow their footsteps in search of a certain blonde man.

I sighed in contentment as I continued up. I always have loved the first episode. I found my new ears starting to ache, so a let them up for the world to see. I felt instantly better and found I could hear everything so much more clearly, like someone just took off headphones that were blasting rave music into my ears. It was wonderful being able to hear like this. I heard voices up ahead, and I could smell them too. The wind was in my favor. I could smell Vash, his smell was strange. It was like gunpowder, but something else was there. I just couldn't name it.

Then I smelled donuts, pudding, blood, and sweat. I instantly knew who had arrived. Meryl and Millie. I smiled. I thought Meryl was kind of a bitch sometimes, but Millie was just awesome sauce. The big dude though, I wasn't going to enjoy this. Oh, a new scent is near. Smells like… Avocado? Ew. I think I know where the blood is coming from, the guy who got hit by the boomerang.

Suddenly, I felt and heard a large explosion, followed by a lot of shouting. I picked up my pace until I was jogging up the cliff. A few moments later I found I didn't need to run any further because I could see the trio coming my way. Vash had a box of donuts in his hand and he was happily munching away as the two women were riding down alongside him. (Technically it was him running alongside them, but who cares?) I could tell Meryl was getting annoyed because she kept trying to take the box away from the blonde male with an annoyed expression on her face as she half told half yelled what they were doing there. I saw Vash spot me, his expression changed from smiling to curious as I came into view. I smiled at him, causing him to grin back. "Hi there!" He called out. "Heyo!" I greeted. They got closer, so I started jogging alongside them as they passed me much to the two female's confusion.

I was way shorter than the blonde, but I found that I was still able to keep pace alongside them despite his extremely long legs. He turned to face me as Meryl stole the box back again, the curious expression still on his features. "So why are you here?" He asked. I took a moment to ponder the question, looking to the sky like it would give me an answer. I shrugged. "I have no idea. But I think I have to follow you around for a while, my gut tells me so." Right then my stomach growled. I was lagging behind him a little, so picked up the pace and pointed to my stomach with a grin on my face. "See? Told ya! It speaks to me!" I looked to the box that seemed to magically appear in his hands. "Hey, can I have one?" He nodded. "Sure!" As I reached inside Meryl seemed to grow even more irritated. The woman reached over and tried to take the box away but Vash was prepared and moved it away from her as she continued her speech. As she got to the twenty-four hours part, Vash cried out in horror "Twenty four hours!?" and came to a halt. Meryl looked over her shoulder in confusion. "What's wrong?" The blonde looked away with an expression I can only describe as nervous. I was surprised she didn't get it right then and there, opting instead to give him ten bucks and the Thomas (?) to warn the town's people.

I face-palmed.

Really, you would think she would notice this stuff!

Vash agreed and the two women rode off back to the site, leaving me and him alone. I turned to face the male. "So, shall we go?" Vash nodded, but pointed to my head. "Sure, but first may I ask… What are those?" I reached up to pat my head when I remembered I hadn't remembered to put my ears back down. I cried out in horror. The blonde seemed taken aback by my reaction as he put his hands in front of him as he leaned away. I covered my ears with my hands as I backed away, my body slightly hunched over. 'SHIT SHIT SHIT-' was the one word that repeated in my head. 'He wasn't supposed to see that!' I suppose I wasn't ready to admit to myself I had these new appendages either, so this was a major overload. I felt arms wrap around me, much to my surprise and I looked up to find him smiling kindly down at me. I looked away in shame. Now I felt bad about my reaction. I moved my hands away from my ears, which were now positioned exactly how I felt. Hmm, I could use this to express myself. Cool.

I muttered a soft "Sorry." before backing away. Vash let his arms fall and he let the subject drop as I fixed my ears under my golden brown hair. I guess it was bronze, but people kept getting me mixed up. I shook the thought out of my head and quickly climbed into the saddle of the strange creature. Luckily I knew how to ride horses, so how hard could this be? Vash climbed up behind me.

Ok, looks like we are going to find out…

(A/N): Well that's all for today folks! Hope you enjoyed and please leave a review! I love those! Oh, and my first chapter ever with 2,060 words. I'm so happy! Goodbye and have a good day!
