PLEASE EVERYONE READ MY OTHER TRIGUN FANFIC VASH THE STAMPEDE JR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And my weird fic that just started, TWO IN THE SAME BOAT!!!!!!!!!

Sorry guys for the slow update! I just got a new program ((And two trips to the hospital)) this weekend. I got Bryce 5! It totally rocks!

Oh and about the hospital thing, I broke my nose when I flipped someone on a bike for trying to slap me. And the other time was my glands were swollen badly.

I've turned into a little dare devil lately. Stupid me. Anyway, here is the update.

Oh.. and I'm sorry for those who didn't get the last part of chapter 24. The sniper didn't fall from the building. She just fell from the wound ((still on the roof)). And for those who were concerned if Vash killed someone, Vash doesn't kill in the anime, so as figured, he doesn't kill in my fanfic.

Part 25- The first meeting, again

Monev the gale, one of the Gung-ho guns.. was being taken down by Vash the Stampede.

Vash held his arm gun to Monev's eye. Vash was.. not himself. Monev had killed so many people! He even had the nerve to say 'so what?' Vash clentched his teeth together. All his muscles where straining to keep him sane right now. He wanted to shot this man. Shot him and kill him for what he did.

That's when he heard it. The last voice he thought he would hear.

"Let him go." The voice said.

At first, Vash thought it was Rem's voice telling him to do that. But, this voice was more demanding then Rem's.

He heard a gun being placed at his head. "Let him go!"

Vash stood up. He knew this voice. He slowly turned around. When he saw who it was... he could have died right then and there. It was Kristin! She was holding a gun to his head, with a gapping bullet wound in her side.

Kristin's eyes had changed. At first, the thought maybe it was Kistune. But.. the warmness behind her eyes begged a differ.

"Kristin.." Vash croaked out.

Kristin stared into Vash's eyes. That's it! 'Those are the eyes that stare at me when I close my eyes.' She thought to herself. They were it. With her arms shaking, she dropped the gun. She couldn't shot him. Shot a man with those eyes.

A quiet sob escaped her lips. No wonder why she wasn't suppose to get too close to Vash. She would loose her nerve and Legato knew it.

"Kristin.." Vash's voice said to her.

Vash blinked. He was back to his old self. He didn't want to kill. He didn't want to shot anyone. What he wanted to do was to comfort Kristin. To ease the pain of the world. Starting off with Kristin.

Vash stepped up to her and hugged her head to his chest. His gun arm still out, in case Monev tried something.

Kristin was the most confused person on gunsmoke right about now. Her, suppose to be enemy, was hugging her like a father would his daughter. What type of enemy did that?!

That was her last thought before she passed out.

Vash looked down at Kristin. She had fainted. He picked her up and started to carry her to the nearest medical place. Meryl and Milly who were just watching what had happened, quickly followed.

*****

Kristin woke up to a fuzzy world. 'I need to stop passing out like that and start sleeping like a normal person'

The world became clearer and clearer everytime she would blink her eyes. She slowly sat up. A stinging pain in her side yelled at her to stay down, but she ignored it for right now. Only a slight wince showed her pain.

"I'm glad to see you up." Said a clam voice.

Kristin turned her head. It was one of the girls with Vash. Kristin stayed silent and narrowed her eyes at the woman standing not too far from her. She was maybe an inch shorter then Kristin if not the same height. She had short black hair with blue, almost grey colored eyes. A strange mix. She looked uneasy with Kristin glaring at her like that.

"Do you want something to eat? You've been alseep for almost 14 hours." She said, stirring a spoon in a pot that was boilings on the stove.

".. why.." Kristin asked.

"Why what?" She asked in a confused manner.

"Why are you being nice to me?" Kristin asked.

The woman smiled. "Because.. even though I have no idea what happened to you since you've been gone. You're still a friend to me. And a friend of Vash's."

"A friend? What do you..? He's my enemy!" kristin said.. confused by the exchange of words. And what did this woman mean.. since she's been gone?

".. What happened to you?" She asked, setting the bowl of soup in Kristin's lap for her.

Kristin stared down at the soup. "I.. don't .. remember anything.. between when I left my other home.. til I woke up in a bed.. with Legato waiting for me."

"You lost your memory of us?" She questioned.

"Yeah.." kristin answered, taking a sip of the soup. It was a bit hot. Her tongue was burned on the soup. "gah!"

The short haired woman couldn't help but chuckle. "It's still hot. I just took it off the stove you know. Just blow on it first."

"Thanks.." kristin answered, this time blowing on the soup before putting it in her mouth. It was cooler. Still a bit on the hot side. But, the spices and herbs used in it made it taste like a fancy meal. It was very good.

"Do you like it?" The woman questioned.

"Yes. It's very good." kristin answered, no longer nervous around her.

"Well, since you don't remember me or anything, let's start over." She proposed. It sounded like a good enough idea. She held out her hand. "I'm Meryl."

"And I'm Kristin." She said, taking Meryl's hand and shaking it. They both smiled at each other.

"Now, let's start with who my friends are.. and some things we have been through.." Meryl started.

Milly walked into the house. "Sempai! Sempai! I'm back." She placed the bags she was carring down on the table. She walked over to kristin's room and stopped when she heard voices. She pressed her ear to the door. She smiled. It seemed like they were getting along nicely.

Vash walked in with Wolfwood just then. "Hello!" Vash said with his cheerful grin in place.

No one was around, but the bags Milly was just carring where on the table. Wolfwood set down his cross to lean against the wall, while Vash walked around looking for someone.

He saw Milly pressing her ear to the door, so he did the same. Wolfwood walked around the corner and saw what was going on. he didn't question it. He just shrugged and did the same.

They all were pressing against the door, listening to kristin and Meryl laugh about some adventures and talk about the present time.

Then, Meryl opened the door. Three people, one cheerful partner and the other two the men of the house, came crashing in. Vash grinned up at Meryl.

"hello."

"What were you three doing?" Meryl asked with a vein ready to pop on her forehead.

Kristin was surprised to see people fall into the room like that. She knew by Meryl's stories that the woman was Milly and the black haired man was Wolfwood. She knew by heart that the man in red was Vash.

Kristin couldn't help but glare at the man in the red coat. She had been through so much and because of him! HIM HIM HIM!

"Hey kristin! You're up." He said, getting off the ground and running over to her. " How are you feeling?"

"good." She answered.

"Did you get enough sleep? Does your wound hurt? Do you want something to eat?" He questioned. Before he could ask another question, Meryl hit him in the back of the head.

"Do you mind? She just woke up and she's very tired! So, both you and Wolfwood need to get out." She said.

Before those two could argue, Meryl glared at them. They quickly obeyed.

"Sorry about that. Those guys are so nosey sometimes." Meryl said, giving Kristin an embrassed smile.

"No problem." Kristin answered back, laying back into the bed. All this sitting up was hurting her wound.

"Does your wound hurt? I could give you something to ease the pain." Meryl said.

"Sempai. I will go start dinner for everyone." Milly said in her cheerful voice. She turned to Kristin. "I'm very glad to see you up and going. I hope you feel better."

"Thank you." Kristin answered, before turning back to Meryl. Milly left those two alone.

"So. I told you everything that has happened, why don't you start telling me everything that has happened to you?" Meryl asked, sitting down next to the bed.

".. I'm not ready to tell just yet..." Kristin answered.

"I understand. I'll go help Milly prepare dinner. I'm sure Vash wants to talk to you anyways." Meryl said, getting up to leave.

"No!" Kristin said.

"What?"

"No.. don't let Vash in here.." Kristin said, pleading with her.

"I don't see why not.. but.. if it means that much I'll keep him out of here for you." Meryl said, smiling at her.

"Thanks."

"Your welcome." She said, leaving the room.

Kristin sighed. She was already tried and sleep was sounding better and better to her ears. She set the bowl beisde the bed and snuggled into her sheets. She quickly gave into sleep.

"So. How do you know this girl Needle-noggin?" Wolfwood asked Vash, while taking out a cig.

"I met her over a month ago. We've been through a lot together already. We seperated only about a week and a half ago. Maybe more.." He answered, sitting down in a chair. He knew a spring of questions were going to follow.

"How did you meet her?" He questioned, taking a long drag.

"Well, she kinda showed up really. I was being tied up, when she suddenly came from nowhere." Vash answered, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I see. So, you have no idea about this girl's past do you?" Wolfwood questioned, through his cig. which made it harder to understand him.

"Yeah.. Well, I have no idea about your past.. but I trust you." Vash answered, just then Milly walked out of the room.

"So? How does she feel?" Vash questioned as soon as Milly walked out.

"How does who feel?" Milly questioned, confused.

"Kristin. How does she feel?" Vash questioned again.

"Oh. She feels fine. Sore from her wound, but fine." Milly answered with a smile. "It's a good thing the bullet missed all her organs, or else she would have died from it. I wonder who shot her though?"

Vash had the most depressing look on his face. He knew it was him who shot her. But, what really confused him was why in the world Kristin would be shooting at him? And why was she glaring at him when he came into the room?

Ok.. there WAS an answer for that one.. Kristin would glare at him for that.. but.. it wasn't the glare your friends shot at you a few times.. it was a cold glare that sent shivers down his spine. How could someone as good hearted as Kristin, send such a glare?

"GUNSMOKE TO VASH! COME IN VASH!" Wolfwood yelled, whacking Vash upside the head.

"Ow! What was that for?" Vash questioned.

"You were completely zoned out! Almost dead to the world. What's up with you?" Wolfwood questioned, sitting back down in his chair, taking another drag.

"It's nothing."

*****************

Legato stormed into Monev the Gale's house. He knew he failed. No one failed! If they did, they would be killed.

"Legato! Sir! I'm sorry! I couldn't-" He started, but Legato had his hold on him already.

Monev's arms twisted behind him, nearly braking.

"Where is Kristin?" Legato questioned.

"I don't know! Vash took her." Monev answered.

"You're services are no long needed." Legato said, quickly killing the man in front of him. He turned and left the house. He looked up at the moons. It was a peaceful night.

'So.. Vash has you does he?' He questioned to himself. He could easily take her back by force if he wanted, but his Master had spoken to him already. He wanted Legato to come straight back.

Legato quickly followed his orders. Kristin would just have to wait.
