WAZZUP? GOT RICE? HAhahah jk, a little of my bad humor should get you
going. But seriously.I forgot to mention something before. In the first
chapter when Meryl yells at Layne for tlaking to Vash in a bad way, she
mentions her middle name. It happens to be Markku, which is strange for a
name. I have a purpose for it though. I went to babynames.com (heh) and
found that name. Markku means rebellious, which is just how Layne is. I
thought that was neat, matching a middle name with the personality.Anyways.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed, if anyone did. I have no access to the
site while I'm writing this (it wont let me on) and I've alreaady written
the second chapter today, so if their are any reviews, Ill answer them in
whatever chapter I happen to be writing at the time. THANKIES!
Oh yes *rolls eyes* this dumb thing again:
Disclaimer: Roses are Red, Carnations are Pink, I don't own Trigun, which
really stinks!
*sniffles* (heh, isnt that nice, i thought of it myself...dont look so
shocked, i do have a brain behind all that bad humour!)
***"So what is Uncle Knives like Lorienth?" Layne inquired, drawing circles on the old bed-spread. Lorienth stood up from her work, turning to face Layne. "You'll just have to find out for yourself,"she said, putting the last coathange in the spacious closet. Layne looked at her. "I was afraid you were going to say that,"she whined in a VERY Vash like way.***
A few rain drops splattered on the porch as the girls set out for their uncle's home. THunder and lightining followed closely behind, scaring Layne shitless. Lorienth just shrugged it off and began carting the pleading Layne towards Knive's house. "OH COME OFF IT YOU BIG BABY! YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AS DAD! IT IS JUST A LITTLE NOISE AND LIGHT IS ALL!"Lorienth yelled at her sister, who was cowering behind her with each crash of thunder. Sighing, Lorienth continued to half-carry Layne to the house, Layne pleading the whole way. "No please, Loreinth let me go----" Layne cried, squeezing her eyes shut the whole time.SHe heard deep laughing and became aware that no rain was wetting her. SLowly she opened and eye, and saw that they were under a porch, a man that looked like Vash laughing at her. Layne turned a deep scarlet color and glared at Lorienth. Lorienth gave her a Ha-Got-you-back- for-acting-like-an-idiot look and smiled innocently.
"Oh yah,Layne we're here,"she said laughing. Layne growled and went to punce on Lorienth, but Knives caught her in mid-air, carrying her sopping- wet form inside. "Hheheheh looks like she is JUST like you Vash," he said laughing as father and daughter flinched at the thunder. Good natured laughter filled the room and they turned red, facing away from the others. "I don't see what is so funny, thunderstorms are creepy!" they said, echoing eachother.This just made everyone laugh harder, so Layne stomped over to a darker corner (away from the windows), muttering darkly to herself. Eventually the laughter subsided, and expectant eyes turned towards Layne.Layne looked at them and blinked.
"What is everyone staring at me for?"she asked.Knives shook his head. *Yes, just like Vash, failing to see the obvious...* he thought with a sigh.I wasnt him who broke the silence though, it was the two curious teens that came bounding down the stairs. "Is she here?"the girl asked, nearly tripping over her own feet. "Yes, Nixie, she is there is no need to yell,"Millie said from her chair. Wolfwood meanwhile was shaking his head. THe girl, Nixie, had long blackish hair and dark brown eyes. "Yes mother,"she said in a substanitally quieter voice. Millie smiled approvingy and then pointed to Laynes corner. "She's right there,"Millie said, smiling warmly at Layne, who was, to say, feeling shy.
"Hi!Nice to meet you, I'm Nixie WOlfwood,"Nixie said, bounding over and offering her hand.Layne smiled back at the girl, who had a huge smile plastered on her face. "Nice to meet you too I'm Layne........."she said, stopping in confusion. "Stryfe,"Vash finished for her. Layne nodded. "Yeah, Layne Stryfe,"she said, smiling more to cover up her obvious shyness. "Well, wouldn;t you be more comfortable if you sat in a chair Layne?"asked the other teen. He was a tall blue haired guy, with piercing gray eyes.Layne looked up, noticing him for the first time.
"Uhhh,yeah I guess so,"she aid, standing up. Nixie took her hand and led her over to the sofa, right in the center of attention of everyone.Nixie sat on her left, and the bluehaired guy on her right. Lorienth was across from her, smiling encouragingly. "Mine as well do some introdustins for the poor girl, she doesnt know us all!"Wolfwood said,standing up. "I'm Nicholas Wolfwood, that's my wife Mille, thats Legato, Your Mom and your Dad right here,this is your Uncle Knives, that's Nixie, my daughter, your sister, and the guy next to you is Grayfall, Legato's son,"he said pointing to eachone in turn. Layne took this all in, it was going to be a long night.
"So, your Vash's long lost daughter, my niece huh? It's nice to finally meet you,"Knive's said. Layne looked at him a little warily then smiled. "Yah.....it's nice to meet you too Uncle Knives,"she replied, staring at her hands. Knives took in the name, turning it over in his mind. "That sounds weird....."he said, laughing. Layne smiled,studying her hands more closely. Silence settled in for a second. Knives looked a little distant, for that matter so did Legato and the rest of the adults, but Layne didnt notice.
"So, care to explain how you pulled that little trick in the desert?" Legato suddenly asked. Layne looked up, surprised at the question. "Uhh.....sure, but it might take a while,"she said, taking a deep breath. She explained this for 30 minutes, keeping everyone facinated.Then the converstaion turned. They talked about random things, but carefully avoided the subject of Layne being a wanted outlaw.At 10:30 Vash and Meryl decided to leave. Bidding everyone goodbye, they went home and slipped into their beds. *That, was........fun* Layen thought, just before falling asleep. ********************************************** ' ***3 weeks later*** "HEY LORIENTH!LAYNE!"Nixie yelled, running towards the two girls, Grayfall closely behind. Lorienth looked up from her activity, but Layne stayed immersed in hers. She was playing a game on a hand held system. "Yeah, What's up?"Layne asked, never taking hereyes from the screen. "Well, seeing as it's summer, how about the four of us take a trip or something?"Grayfall said, shading his eyes to look at the game's screen. Layne paused the game and looked up. "That would be fun,"she said, looking at each person.
"Where though?And for how long?"she asked them. Nixie smiled. "How about we got to Septombre City?Iheard they have some cool things to do there.Great shopping,theme parks...things like that..."she said, a dreamy look in her eyes. layne laughed. "Yeah,I've been there, and it is really cool.We hwould go,"she said, raising her eyebrows at them, then re-gluing her eyes to the game screen. Grayfall glued his eyes to the screen as well. Nixie nudged Lorienth in the side, and seeing them they glanced at eachother mischeviously.
"SOunds good to us,"Lorienth answered for them both. Suddenly a mischevious smile came over Grayfall's face. "Oh hold on a second....I forgt to tell you guys......Zaccheus is coming home from the mental ward today!AHHA"he said laughing.Loreinth and Nixie laughed a little bit to, Layne only looked a little bit confused.
"He's hahaha your cousin, Knive's son, hahaha" Lorienth laughed, gasping for air at the same time. "I don't get it, but whatever,"Layne said,looking over Grayfall's shoulder at a blondehaired guy that had just shown up.He looked a little angry, and even so,looked a lot like Lorienth,minus the eyes and hair. "What's so funny guys?"he asked, narrowing his eyes at the three.Grayfall stiffened, and Lorienth and Nixie stopped laughing almost immedeatly. "N-nothing Zacch....Zac. Whatsup man?!" Grayfall said, turning around to high-five. Instead of a high-five he got a punch in the stomach.Grayfall keeled over, fighting for breath. Layne took all of this in, her eyes flashing into that cold state again. Just as Zac went to punch Grayfall again,Layne spoke, stopping the boy in mid-punch.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you...."she said in the same cold,menacing voice that she had used in the desert the day they had found her. Lorienth,Nixie and a very pained Grayfall all looked at her in surprise. "REally, why not little girl? Gonna cry home to daddy?Watcha gonna so huh?"he asked, laughing in her hair-shaded face.(A/N Keep in mind, he doesn't know who she is yet). Layne finally looked up at him, her eyes boring into Zac's own. She took a step forward, and Zac took one back.
"As a matter of fact no,I'm not, I can deal with this myself,"Layne hissed, taking a few more steps forward. Zac was backing farther and farther away, scared of this new girl that was threatining him. He was angry at himself for that fact, but just couldn't quite come over his fear. He suddenly let out a yelp of fear as he felt himself tumblin backwards. Slimey green water filled his mouth and nose, choking him. Zac came up to the surface, coughing,spitting and gasping for breath. Layne was laughing at him intensley,almost buckled over. The humor of the situation hit him suddenly and he started laughing to.
*That reminds me of how Vash would handle that situation, exactly how my dad described it to me in fact* he thought, intrigued. Behind the two, Grayfall (who had just gotten up), Nixie, and Lorienth especially breathed a sigh of relief. "Looks like those two might just get along fine....."Lorienth said, turning to meet the stares of Uncle Knives,Vash and Meryl, all of which were surprised.
Ehehe.....I just thought of something. Doesn't "Uncle Knives" sound funny?EHEHEHEH it does to me. *DOdges bullet* Eheh anyways......R&R if you wish. Bad or good, me no care I JUST WANT REVIEWS! Much appreciated. Sayonara, R.K.
