"Wait Meryl!" Vash yelped. He watched her storm off and his face was a deep blue. With one swift motion he hopped out of the springs and ran after her his muscular physique shifting gracefully. Unfortunately, Vash forgot to dry off, so his wet feet skidded cross the floor and he slipped falling forward into a basket full of wet towels. "Yuck." Vash replied in a muffled tone. He pried his face from the basket of towels and was on his feet again running after Meryl. She opened the Women's locker room door and stepped in stomping her feet as she walked. Vash stopped in front of the door blinking a few times and Anime-sweat-dropping. "What should I do?" Vash asked himself quietly. His face turned a deep shade of crimson as he pushed open the door and stepped in quietly hearing the showers running and a few women talking. His aqua colored eyes glanced around looking to see if the coast was clear and he darted forward hiding behind some lockers. "Meryl!" he said quietly. He didn't
want any of the other women to know he was in there. His stomach began to grumble and the vision of a pile of Donuts appeared in Vash's Head. He chuckled happily, "I want a donut!" he said out loud. "Who was that?!" he heard a girl shriek. Vash covered a hand over his mouth and darted again into another aisle of lockers. He glanced over and saw Meryl kneeling down on the floor and opening her locker up. Vash tip toed over to her quietly struggling not to slip and tapped her on the shoulder lightly," Meryl?" Vash asked. "Vash?!" Meryl shrieked as she turned around. Vash's eyes widened and his face turned blue putting a finger to his mouth" SHH!" he said. Her eyes narrowed a little angry," What are you doing in here? You know you aren't allowed in the Women's locker room!!!" She screeched. "I needed to talk to you Meryl." Vash said lowly. She placed her hands at her hips and glared up at him her blue/gray eyes studying him, "Well?" she asked. He nodded his face really red now,
"Right, well I'm sorry I froze up at the springs back there. I didn't know how to tell you Meryl." Vash said again his aqua blue eyes looking down at the floor. "Tell me what?" she asked a little intrigued." Well, it's more of a question. Why do you hate me Meryl? You didn't answer me back in the springs, so why do you hate me?" Vash asked a little sadly. Meryl lifted Vash's chin with her hand," I don't hate you Vash. It's just.. Your different in so many ways." Meryl said softly. Vash's eyes studied hers, "How so?" he asked. "Well, from the rumors I've heard, you are cold blooded and ruthless. But from experience, your kind and gentle. So which is it Vash? Are you a cold-blooded wolf in sheep's clothing? Or are you a gentle caring person? " Meryl asked. Vash looked down becoming slightly teary eyed and then back to her, "I'm not a cold-blooded murderer. I care about all living things, I only kill if I have to." Vash answered. A stray tear slid down Vash's face and hit the
floor with a soft "pat". Meryl frowned whipping the stray water from his face. "Don't cry Vash." She said smiling weakly. He nodded slowly and chuckled realizing they were both in they're underwear and he blushed. She smiled, "So what else was 'so important you had to tell me'? " She asked with a soft giggle. Vash's aqua blue eyes studied her again, this time in a loving and caring manner." That, I care about you a lot. I didn't know if you liked me or loved me at all." Vash said again. Meryl rushed into Vash's arms hugging him tightly and said, "I do care about you Vash." The two smiled unaware they were being watched by all the women in the locker room.
