My God! This has been one of the most boring times of my life. Supposedly the computer's modem got fried and I couldn't get online. I thought I was gonna die. But, it turns out that the modem is perfectally fine. Somehow, the wire got cut. This is my reasoning for not updating in so long. Or replying ot reviews, which I plan to starte doing. Sorry about both of those things. ANyways, at this moment I can't get on the internet so I don't know what yall's take was on the POV thing. Hope you liked it, it took me a loooooooonnnnnggggg time to write! Well on with the story.

Legato, Knives &Vash: Hey, thats not hte same one! DO it the other way! Me: What? Are all of you developing a fetish for the other disclaimer now? Knives: Of course not, now do it the other way. Vash and Legato: YAH WHAT HE SAID!

Me: *sticks out tongue* No Knives Legato and Vash: *Pull out guns* Do it!

Me: Hey, I'm going shopping now, let me just put it this way Vash and Legato: No donuts and no hotdogs if you don't put the guns away and get Knives out of my face!

Vash and Knives .;;;; *Tie Knives up and throw him in the closet* Me: Yes, yes good slaves. DAMN ITS GOOD TO BE BACK! Vash: 0.o

Me: ^________^;;;;;; Sorry about that. On with the next chapter!

Last time: Layne Loreinth and Grayfall come back to the town. Grayfall is punished, Lorienth is yelled at wrongfully, and Layne is still unconcious.. Grayfall had a weird dream and wakes up to Lorienth dripping water on his head. Readers also caught glimpses of Grayfall and Zac's pasts.

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

Nixie and Knives' brows were knitted as they worked on healing Layne's wound. The puntures were deep, letting alot of blood out. Knives guessed that this was one of the aspects that she was not like Vash in.

*Porbably never will be. I'm sure that Vash won't ever teach her how to fight like him or dodge bullets,* Knives thought, finishing the stitches on Layne's bullet wound and leaning back. He noticed that Nixie had finished up at approxametley the same time. Nixie was smart when she needed to be.She was alot like her mother. Cheerful, mostly airheaded with an underlying sense of intelligence. Extremely gentle, but get in her way and she won't hesitate to eliminate you from the game. This was something she had attained from Wolfwood. That and the habit of chain-smoking, which often got her in trouble, ironically from both of her parents.

"Well, it looks like that's as much as we can do. She should live, but will probably be unconcious for a bit," Nixie said, wiping the sweat of of her forehead and collapsing into a chair outside of the room. Everyone else left, save Meryl, to give Layne some peace. "I sure hope she's gonna be ok," Zac sighed, sitting next to Nixie on the couch and putting a comforting arm around her shoulder. Vash arched an eyebrow at this.

"When did this development occur?" he joked, putting an arm around a pillow and holding it close to his body. Nixie and Zac quickly moved away from eachother, both blushing. No one in the room was very surprised though, they had seen it coming for a long time.Knives glared at Vash who was carrying on the charade still, kissing the pillow. It was amazing how he could joke at a time like this.

"Cut it out Vash,"Knives hissed, glaring at his brother. Vash stopped for a moment, but continued hugging the pillow. Zac and Nixie turned redder by the moment, both standing at the same time and exiting the room. Wolfwood turned angrily on Vash then.

"Great-job broom head," he muttered, slinging an ashtray at Vash's head. It connected to his skull with a sickening crack and he slumped over, eyes whirling.

******Grayfalls room******

Grayfall was now sitting,propped up in bed, arguing with Lorienth over his condition.

"Really, I'm fine Lorienth, you can stop worrying now!" Grayfall yelled, pointing vehemently at himself and giving a thumbs up. Lorienth looked unconvinced.

"Grayfall, you were in a high fever when I got here, I don't think--" Lorienth began, stopping as Grayfall jumped up and pushed her out of the door. He locked the door behing her and pulled on some fresh clothes, wincing at the fresh welts on his back. There were only a few, but it still hurt. Lorienth was pouning on the door, yelling at him to open it. With a sigh he obeyed, opening the door and getting tackled by Lorienth.

"Good job sherlock," Grayfall muttered sarcastically, pushing Lorienth off of him. Lorienth sighed. It seemed like he was ok.

"Hey let's go see Layne," Grayfall called, exiting his room. Eagerly, Lorienth followed.
