DISCLAIMER: Um…I would love to say that I own Trigun, but….I don't.
Okay, guys. Here's Chapter One! Um..heh, I'm afraid that the only fics I'm really good at are the ones like "Children" and "Change of Heart", where it's the character's thoughts. I'm not very good at actual stories, but try and bear with me, k? ^_^. And keep those reviews comin'! I need to know your thoughts and what you think would work with this story! Okay, enough of my brainless ranting and on to Chapter One!
Chapter One: Recuperation
Knives proved himself to be a quick healer. While it would've taken any normal human a few days to get their wits about them, it only took him a few hours. Of course, he still insisted that he was above humans. But, to everyone's amazement, he hadn't done or said anything that would risk a human's life in any way. But it had been proven, time and again, that his company preference still included Vash and Vash alone.
He would talk and act freely when it was just Vash and himself, but when either of the girls came around, he'd clam up and glare. It was starting to get on everyone's nerves, especially Meryl's.
"I just don't understand what his problem is!" Meryl cried to Millie a few days after Knives' awakening. He had just thrown her one of his glaring fits.
"Senpai?" Millie turned from the lunch dishes that she had been cleaning. Meryl plopped down at the kitchen table, all but slamming her head on the tabletop.
"That man flusters me to no end!" Meryl's voice was muffled by the table.
"I remember when you thought the same way about Vash~san," Millie giggled. Meryl lifted her head up and gave her friend a small smile.
Suddenly, a look crossed Millie's face and she ran out of the kitchen as if being chased by killer bees. Confused, Meryl just followed her with her eyes.
As Meryl sat there, pondering Millie's actions, Vash walked in, Knives in close pursuit.
"What's wrong? It sounded like someone was being chased!" Vash commented.
"I-I don't know. She was fine a minute ago. Then she ran outta here with a pained look on her face," Meryl explained, worry creeping into her voice.
Millie took that moment to appear, a little weak looking, but a smile on her face nonetheless.
"Millie?"
"I'm okay, Senpai. I just felt a little sick, that's all," Millie answered the unspoken question. She made her way to the dishes again, still feeling the three pairs of eyes on her back.
Not yet satisfied, Meryl picked herself up and joined the taller girl at the sink.
"Millie, are you sure you're okay?" Millie nodded, but Meryl could clearly see the sick look lingering in her eyes.
"I don't think you should go into work today," Meryl commented.
"Oh no Senpai! I have to go in! They're counting on me! I'll be okay. It's probably just some food that didn't agree with me," Millie smiled. She had finally finished the dishes and turned to head for her room to change into her work clothes.
Meryl was about to go after her again, when a hand grabbed hers.
"Vash?"
"She'll be fine, Meryl. She's a grown woman, you don't have to play mother," Vash said, a teasing glimmer in his eyes.
"Why you…" Meryl growled, swinging at the blond man. He sidestepped the attack and they both dissolved into giggles. Knives rolled his eyes and silently decided to go back to the room that he had insisted on sharing with his brother.
Once in the room, the man walked to the window. He could still hear his brother and that human talking and giggling. What the hell was Vash's problem? Couldn't he see how foul that girl was? She was unpredictable, which was dangerous. How could he flirt so shamelessly with her? And in front of his brother to boot! Knives narrowed his eyes in suppressed anger. It felt as though his brother was betraying him. And it hurt; worse than any bullet wound, it hurt.
Okay, Chapter Two should be coming up soon! ^_^; Hope ya enjoyed!
