Hey everyone!! ::Everyone turns there back on me:: I know and I am so sorry. Lately once again, I had a lot of homework. I have had major writer's block; it's gets hard to write out the story, though I did plan it out. I didn't make the soft tennis team, bit who cares, I can try out next year.
Tsunami Starsheart: Thank you for the review. Thanks for the reminder. But, the weird part was that, I just visited the web site of the publisher and it said that the manga is going to come out in the week of October 8. But it might be just me. (Don't really care as long as the manga is going to come out…LOL)
Kathleen Stacy: Thanks again.
Lyerial: Don't worry, Vash will appear soon, but as long as I can type out the next few chapters A.S.A.P, until then, I guess you would have to wait. (Sorry if I sounded mean.)
Ok…this chapter is to Morgannia. The person who gave me some ideas for this chapter.
Ok, I'll tell you the truth, this chapter is like a flash back, but also from different people's points of view… so I guess in a way Vash appears in this chapter…YAY…LOL
Ok… now on with the story. Oh yeah, before I forget, this chapter takes place when it starts to get dark.
Chapter 5: To Remember the Past
~*~*~*~Dream/ Flash back Sequence~*~*~*~
"VASH!!!" Yelled an angry Meryl.
"Oh no!" said Vash as he tried to creep out of the house. He suddenly stopped, to hear that Meryl's footsteps came closer, to where he stood. Running into the hallway closet, he quietly waits, till Meryl is gone. He heard the footsteps cease.
"Vash, come out, I know where you are."
"Awe, come on insurance girl. I didn't do anything."
"Well, what is this then?" Meryl held up a black garter.
"Oh, that…well…I…uh…had a friend come over…because it was getting really late, and she had no where else to go for the night."
Meryl raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
"Honest, really."
"Fine. What ever you say Mr. My-friend-stayed-over-the-night. I don't care." With that, Meryl stomped back to her room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
'Wow, Insurance girl was really mad back there. Maybe, I should go back and apologize to her,' Vash thought as he continued his way out of the house. Thinking twice, not wanting to get a brutal beating from the already enraged Meryl, he walked back to the town bar.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*{Back In the House}
'That bastard, how dare he bring home a women, without my consent.' thought an angry Meryl. Taking a seat in front of her dresser mirror, she retrieved a silver hairbrush with a butterfly design on the head. Holding the brush in her hand, she gently strokes her hair with the brush. Each tooth of the brush traveled through her hair like a twig gracefully cutting through the water. She continued the brush her hair until her train of thought was interrupted, by the sound of a knock on the front door.
"Meryl, I'm home" called Milly. "I need your help," she continued.
"Ok" Meryl called back. Putting back the hairbrush, where it came from, walked down the stairs, she quickly opened the door and help Milly carry the packages in.
"Whoa, it was especially hot today." Milly said as she wiped the sweat off her forehead, smiling. In realization, Milly noticed that the whole house was empty except for Meryl and herself.
"Um Meryl? Where did Mr.Vash go?"
"Why should I care? He doesn't care about us." Meryl shot back at her.
Being taken aback, Milly didn't understand what happened for her friend to be like this.
"But Meryl, we have to do our job and watch over him."
"Milly just because our job is to watch Vash, doesn't mean we have to baby-sit the slob."
"Well Meryl, if that's the way you feel." Milly said, turning around to go to her room, she left Meryl to think for her self.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I'll take…one…more order of beer, Miss," Said the intoxicated outlaw.
"But Sir, I suggest you go home before you go home before you pass out in here."
"…Well your right, I should go home." getting up Vash paid for his drinks and left the bar.
As he stumbled down the quite street of the town, back to the Insurance girls' house. As the house came into view, he saw that the lights were still on, and knew that someone in the house must be awake. Walking up to the front porch, and knocking on the door. At first no one answered, but he heard some feet shuffling, behind the door. Until finally someone opened the door.
"Heey, Insurance girl."
"Vash, where have you been this whole time?"
"Ohh, jus' 'aning a quick drink." Vash said as he stumbled his way into the house. Making his way to the couch, and took a seat.
"Come on Vash, it's getting late. You should go to sleep in your room."
Without getting reply, Meryl walked up to the couch, only to find Vash half unconscious. Walking up the stairs with a sleeping Vash's arm slung over her shoulder, she walks into his room and gently puts him in his bed. As she lays him in his bed, she hears him mumble something.
"Thank you, Insurance girl…I love you."
Totally shocked by this, she quickly thinks that it was just the beer talking, and quickly dismisses it. Going back to her room she got ready to go to sleep.
'Does he really love me?' With that last thought in her mind, she quickly falls asleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
{The Next Morning}
Oh… I think I'm gonna be sick." Vash said as he ran to the bathroom. After emptying the contents from his stomach, he brushes his teeth, and goes downstairs. Grabbing some painkillers, he quickly downs them, and waits to feel the drugs go into effect.
"Mr.Vash, didn't I tell you that drinking is not good for you?"
"Yeah…yeah."
Looking at the time, Milly gets up and goes to the clothes store to get to the big sale.
"Sorry, Mr.Vash. I got to get to the big sale."
"Yeah…Ok."
Then a few minuets later Meryl came down.
"Good morning, Vash."
"Oww…come on insurance girl. Not too loud ok?"
With a slap on the head, Vash's headache seemed to ebb away.
"Hey, what was that for?"
"That was for making me drag your sorry ass to your bed last night."
"Well…uh… thanks."
Looking at her watch, she starts to move towards the door.
"Meryl wait." with that Vash grabs he waist, and kisses her full on the lips. At first, she just stood there with shock, but then later regained her stance. Breaking the kiss, she raises her hand and made contact with his face, leaving a big red mark.
"You BASTARD, how dare you kiss me without my consent."
"But Meryl, I thought you liked it."
"Than that is where you are wrong." with that, she stomps out of the house. As the reached almost a few yards away from the house she stopped and touched her lips.
'Wow, he is such a good kisser.'
~*~*~*~End Of Dream/ Flash Back Sequence~*~*~*~
Meryl woke up from her dream, with tears streaming down her face. Looking down at her arms, which are now wrapped with blood stained bandages, she thought about the events that happened while she was still following Vash around and she truly missed it.
'I hate my life. Maybe I should just end all my misery now.'

Well there you go chapter 5. I hope you will forgive for not updating for almost 3 weeks. I was just too busy recently, and that my friend is starting to ignore my which really pisses me off. Just for about the 3rd week of school I got about 10 quizzes and already about 2 tests. I got over loaded with at least 2 assignments for almost all my classes, but mostly Japanese.
Anyway, I hope you reviewers will forgive for being so late. Also don't forget to review.
I NEED SOME ADVICE ON WHAT TO WRITE. -_-
Much Mahaloz,
Chikako
