Em... A little change of style. Anyway. Flame my friend, it was her idea.
After few seconds Knives jumped on his feet.

"You" he gasped.

"Oh, I'm really sorry" Meryl stood up, her face red. "For bowling you over on me and
forcing to kiss me but I'm not happy either. Wheeeh. You think that I liked it?" she
approach the sink to drink some water.

"You should feel honored that a supreme being kissed you" he snorted, his face red too.

"Ugly spider... Move yourself so I could wash my face from your odour" he pushed her away.

'That's it' she thought when she hit the fridge. 'I know that Vash left him alive but
I'm not him. Now or never.' she reached the cupboard and took a knife from the third drawer.

"What you're doing?" he asked not turning around still washing his face.

"Killing you" she answered simply and swung at him.

Unfortunately for Meryl, Knives caught her arm easily and twisted it. She dropped the knife and
groaned.

"On your knees, spider" he pulled her down. She was petryfied. Not able to make any move or
sound. He snapped her across the face. His eyes glowing maniacaly. Meryl's head fell and she was
staring at her legs.

'Just kill me' she thought tottaly hopeless. 'Just kill me and go away'

He took her by her chin and lower his face to hers.

"Can you stop me?" he mumored lowering his lips on hers. Meryl whimpered.

He leveled his hand to her blouse and slowly started to unwrap its buttons. Meryl tried to stop him,
but Knives pinned her down to the floor with his chest.

"You know we Plants also have big appeties" he said merely opening his mouth.

"I don't want to" she quivered.

"You! And since when did spiders received the right to demand anything! It's because of you that
I'm all alone except Vash, but now even he's gone and you're going to recompensate it" he said
pushing himself onto her.

"Nyo" Mr. Black Cat jumped on the table throwing off the glass. It broke into thousand pieces.

Meryl's heart was pumping rappidly.

"Please... leave me" she begged, her eye wide open.

"Why?" he asked and laughed. "Force me, spider"

She tried to move a little but Knives put his mouth on hers and bit her lower lip.

"Better don't try anything" he whispered in a husky voice and licked her blood from his lips.

Meryl saw a pointy and rather big piece of glass on her left. She was thinking fast and then she managed
to kiss him. Not pulling apart she tried to reach that glass with her left hand. When she caught it,
Knives put his hand on hers and squeezed it. Their lips lost connection and Meryl cried from pain. She
felf warm licquid soaking her palm.

"I've said something. Now you've got glass in your hand and I'm going to pull it out" he
smirked "Very slowly..."

He opened her hand. Glass was 1/3 stick in her palm. Meryl looked there and felt like going to faint.

"Oh..." she gasped.

And then she realized she didn't feel anything. She chuckled, when Knives was pulling the glass-piece
out. He looked straight at her, one brow rose up.

"What's wrong?" he asked and practically grabbed the glass. The wound started to bleeding rappidly.

"You wanna leave it like it is?" he asked the giggling Meryl.

She stopped when the pain lessen a bit and her mind started to react normally.

"Somewhere must be a bandage" she said in a fainting voice.

They both stood up. Knives bandaged her wound, when he'd found some. Black Cat jumped from the table
waggling its tail and hissed at Knives.

"You're annoying" he thritened. He tried to get his gun but he hadn't got any. Vash had thrown it
away.

"Nyo" Black Cat looked straight in his eyes. Knives caught a plate and swung at the cat.

"Nyo" the cat hid behind Meryl. She took it in her arms.

"Leave it!" she protested. "It's only a cat, not human!"

Knives smirked.

"Then I'll kill you both"

Meryl lowered herself on the floor still holding Mr. Black Cat and started crying silently.

"Go ahead" she sobbed. "I'm waiting"

She closed her eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

After few minutes she opened her eyes but not dare to look up. She knew that Knives was still standing
nearby. Non of them, even the cat, made a move.

"Stand up" he said, his voice somehow soft.

She looked up. He was giving her hand to help her stood up. She hesitate for a moment, but when she
couldn't find any other thing to do, she took his hand and stood up.

"Now" he whispered lowering his face to hers "Give me that cat"

"What are you going to do to it?" she asked scared.

"Nothing" he smirked "Just kill it"

She backed away. Black Cat hissed at Knives. Meryl reached the window immidiately and released the cat.
Knives looked at her. He cut the distance between then in no time and Meryl found herself pinned against
the fridge. Putting delicately his hand on her cheek and lifting her head a bit higher, he said

"You know, spider. That was very stupid" He lowered his head and brushed her lips with his.

"Meryl" she gasped watching him intensively when he wrapped her waist with the other hand.

"Yes... Meryl" he kissed her pationately. Her knees were like fruit-jelly. Knives returned to
unwrapping her blouse with his teeth, this time definitely going to finish.

"Just relax" he whispered into her ear, his voice husky. He kissed her neck few times in different
places, then when the blouse was unwrapped, he reached left side of her collarbone and bit it sucking.
Meryl moaned and she leaned on the floor pulling him down with her.

"Insurance girl!" the front door cracked.

"Hi!! I'm ba..." cheerful smile on Vash's face faded when he went into the kitchen.
Um... Okay... Now you know why that title... =^ ^= But that's not the end. Don't worry. I won't leave
Vash like that... It'd be too cruel... Or... *grins*
I know.... I just love fridges =^ ^=
And "Oh" I forgot about the loosing balance thing... I'll try in next chap....
