I do not own any of the characters and such I am just a humble writer trying to put what she dreams about, after watching God only knows how much anime, on the net. Thank you!

"Vash! You're back!" Meryl yelled as she ran into Vash and met his embrace. She looked up at him and took him by his hand pulling him toward an apartment building where Millie, Meryl and Vash had been living. "Come this way, quickly," she said, "there is someone who has been waiting to see you."

"Really? Who?" he said questioningly as he was dragged to the entrance of the apartment.

"It's a surprise, now hurry, we don't want to keep him waiting." They walked up the stairs to the second floor where they turned left and came to room number 21. Meryl took the keys out of her pocket opening the door for Vash and gesturing for him to go in. There was a shady figure sitting in the kitchen tapping his fingers on the table. He whistled an old tune that sounded like what Rem use to sing.

"Horrible little tune, wouldn't you say Vash?" the figure stood up, his face came into view, "Long time, no see." He smiled a wide grin. "I apologize, Vash, for doing this to you, but it's the only way."

"What have you done Knives?!" his voice showed fear and anger as he yelled. He grabbed Meryl with his arm and upholstered his gun with the other. He pointed it straight at Knives with fire in his eyes. "Don't you touch Meryl, she has nothing to do with this."

He looked down on Meryl and saw that she was bleeding from her eyes, mouth, neck and wrists. Vash shook in terror as Meryl sank into Vash. He desperately tried to stop the bleeding. "Knives stop it, please!" he screamed at his brother, tears streaming down his face, "She has nothing to do with this!"

"Vash, this is for the better." He appeared in front of Vash gun raised to his head, finger slowly pulling the trigger, and staring into his bothers eyes, smiling. Vash's eyes wided.... ::BAM!::....

Vash woke in a cold sweat, breathing heavily, and tears streaming down his face. "I can never go back to her," he said, his head in his hands....
