PROLOUGE

Kawaii Nicholas D. Wolfwood lazily dragged his Cross Punisher across the desert. 'Need…food…and…water…', he thought, his throat dry and his stomach grumbling. Near him, a certain kawaii blond-haired gunman was thinking along those lines. 'Need…water…and…DONUTS…', was what Vash the Stampede thought. By coincidence, they stopped at the same cactus, but with their backs facing each other, and both sat down. 'Is there someone behind me?!', they both thought at the same time, grabbed their guns and faced each other. "Nick!", Vash cried happily, while Wolfwood cried "Vash!", just as happily and pounded Vash on the back.

"Where'd the insurance girls go?", Wolfwood asked. Vash shrugged.

"They got lost", he said simply. Wolfwood laughed.

"The bitchy girl had it coming, but poor Milly's with her, right?"

Vash nodded. "Aww…", Wolfwood put on a semi-sad face while Vash laughed.

"Nick's in love with Milly!", Vash said and started running.

"HEY! AS A MAN OF GOD I AM NOT ALLOWED TO LOVE ANYONE BUT GOD!", Wolfwood yelled and ran after Vash. They kept up their merry chase before Vash practically ran into a short person with short hair and an angry face.

"RUN WOLFWOOD! THE INSURANCE GIRLS ARE BACK!", Vash yelled and both Wolfwood and Vash ran in the opposite direction.

"COME BACK HERE VASH THE STAMPEDE! I GOT A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU!", Meryl yelled and ran as best as she could after them. After all, she was still wearing the semi-short business skirt that was regulation of the Bernadelli Insurance Agency.

Milly giggled and also ran. 'It was always fun with Mr. Vash and Mr. Priest!', she thought.

Vash and Wolfwood ran. Then they both crashed into a sleeping purple dragon. "AIEEEEEE!", they screamed like girls.

The dragon opened one eye and extended a claw at them. Vash and Wolfwood were stuck. They couldn't move at all. "Why did you disturb my rest?", the dragon asked, still lying in a bed of feathers and sand.

"Uh…we were running from…um…something…" "And…we didn't see you…", Wolfwood completed Vash's sentence.

The dragon merely said, "I see."

"What are your names?", the dragon asked.

"Vash the Stampede, Mr. Dragon!" "Nicholas D. Wolfwood, O Mighty Reverent One!"

The dragon cocked a non-existent eyebrow at the two. "I am Tenryu Tokai.", was all the dragon said.

The two hot men fell over. "Is that all you can say?! We gave you the respect you deserve…O…Great…One…", Vash cowered under Tenryu the Dragon's stare.

"Humans don't deserve my respect.", was the simple answer Tenryu gave.

"Jeezus, ya think he's friends with Knives?", Wolfwood whispered to Vash. Vash shrugged.

"Auhm…Tenryu-Tokai-sama…do you know somebody named Millions Knives?", Vash whimpered.

Tenryu rose yet another non-existent eyebrow at him. "Who in the world would name their child KNIVES, of all things?", he asked.

Wolfwood and Vash glanced at each other, and dissolved into laughter. Tenryu got confused. "Why are you laughing?", he asked/commanded.

Wolfwood wiped tears of laughter away from his dark blue eyes and bowed. "It's nothing…just a guy we know is named that, and if he heard what Your Reverentness had said, he would have been furious. Especially if he hadn't had his coffee yet." [AN: ROFLMAO! The coffee thing is an inside joke between my friends and I. The way Knives-sama looks when he's angry, it's like he's hooked on too much caffeine, so…^^]

Vash and Wolfwood exchanged glances once more. They could tell they were in for the adventure of their lives. And they excitedly anticipated it. They grinned at each other and switched their attention back to the dragon.

This is just a test. I repeat, this is only a test. I just want to know if I should continue this or not. Review and then I'll be able to tell!

Ja ne!
