Title- Colliding Thoughts
Author- CrimsonShadowDemonX
~ I don't own Trigun, its' characters nor its' creators matter-of-factly. So, please enjoy this little segment of insaneness and...stuff.. the whole story takes place when Legato is atleast fifteen..I myself have no idea how old he is in the show, so if you do..please let me know...I'll just write that he's twenty five later in the chapters ~
Last week was when I met this girl, Slyn. I don't know much about the wench but then again, I don't know much of myself. Her eyes are those of evil, pure evil that I can't rely on too much. Maybe she can help me with my problems? Help? Damnit, am I getting emotional? What's emotion other than a knife cutting into your soul. And am I 'Gifted' as Knives said? Are the humans killing Earth? Should I die....just to get away?Yes because it would be better than living in a world of fools whom take the life from this planet when they breathe...but who then will stop them? Oh well, who am I to care?
Chapter- Two Title- Interesting Triangle.
I awoke in a cold sweat and sat up, rubbing my temples like there was no tomorrow. I heard the faint breathing of Slyn and knew she was asleep, so I stood up and walked over to the bathroom. As I slipped out of my clothing I felt as if I was shedding my protective layer, I felt as if nothing could protect me now. The water soon became warm and I stepped in, the warmth felt good across my bare body. But it also burned because of my recent cuts on my chest and torso, which I now wore as an indication I could withstand anything. I washed up and entered the bedroom again, trying to listen for the faint breathing but couldn't hear it. I shrugged and walked over to my bed, the water droplets glistening as I worked into clean clothes for tomorrow. "I see you got up to take an actual warm shower, eh?" Slyn's voice inquired silently.
"Yes..it heals the cuts faster than cold water, if you didn't know that already," I replied as I pulled my boxers up.
Slyn was sitting upright in her bed, watching me like a hawk. "You have many scars, Legato. On your back anyways."
"Why is it that you pester me like one of those scientists?"
"I want to learn about you..."
I smirked," well..if you would like to learn more, you should walk out naked and see if I ask you about your personal markings."
I could tell I put Slyn in a tight spot because she laid back down on her bed, I turned around and sat on my bed. She was staring at me with those damn crimson eyes once again. "Maybe I should," she said finaly.
"But you wouldn't highten any interests, except maybe your own."
Slyn sat up," why do you insist on being so cold to me?!" she fired.
"Because, I have no reason to let you close."
Slyn got out of her bed, walked over to me and put her hand to my forehead. "So, this is as close as I can get?"
"You haven't even gotten close enough to see what lies deep within," I muttered with a sinister smile.
Slyn crouched down so she was eye level with me," what lies within is a cruel, cold and hurt soul. If there is any soul left it is very defensive. You don't like humans, or anything in that matter get close to you. You barrier yourself like a wall, something strong enough to not even let a girl tempt your interests. So you pleasure yourself by hurting or inflicting excruciating pain on yourself because it reminds you of how people 'treated' you. When you take your clothes off you feel as if your small and defensive soul has been revealed, you feel as if people can see who you really are and you feel like you lost your defenses. You take to offensive and passive strategies easily, but then you take to defensive if your life is almost up. Because that is when your mind is completely lost in it's poisen."
"You don't know shit, Slyn," I growled.
I stood up and in the process knocked Slyn back. "You have no idea who I am..or what I think.."
Slyn only smiled," I can see through your defenses and predict your every move...I see that you are going to the bathroom, find your knife and slit your wrist open."
"Is that so...can you predict what's happening next?" I inquired with anger rising in my cracked voice.
Slyn thought for a moment but I didn't give her time. I pulled her to her feet, brought her to me and laid a kiss on her lips. I held her there for a good two minutes then I let her go and strode to the bathroom, getting my knife and closing the door behind me. Slyn stood there, speechless. She sat down on her bed and then fell back. "...for a very cold person...he has a hot kiss..," Slyn murmered before she fell asleep.
~ Breakfast ~
"You see that new guy over there?" a kid inquired to Slyn.
Slyn turned and spotted the new guy, he was tall and dark haired. His eyes were aquamarine and his biceps were fair, not too bulgy. "Who is he?" she asked.
"His name is Damion, age is I think...eighteen and to be precise..he has some problems..wait, not some..a lot."
Slyn nodded and stood up, I glanced over as I ate my curry at a different table. She was heading right over to a new kid, he looked a little out of place but I felt something else stab me in the chest. Jealousy? No, it wasn't jealousy. It was growing hate, hate towards the newcomer. Slyn was chatting up a storm with the new guy and I switched to her table. "Oh, sorry Legato! I should mo-"
"No, tell me who that guy is over there..," I ordered, cutting off the kid's sentence.
"Umm..his name is Damion..he's umm..eighteen...and umm..he..umm has a lot..of umm..problems."
I nodded and soon stood up, heading for the solitude of my room. When I entered I felt as if it had changed, another bed was placed towards the bathroom and soon the hate turned to tremendous loathing. I slammed the door shut and sat down on my bed, slipped into my dream world of blood and fell asleep. I woke up and all I could hear was a strange noise, I realized it was Slyn humming or something and sat up. I looked around and spotted that Damion guy sitting on the new bed. "Hello, roomie. Looks like I'll be staying here also, though I don't expect long," he said with a spine chilling cheerful voice.
"Perfect," I replied with a groan.
Damion shrugged," I don't give a damn if you don't like me, dude. But you got to lighten up, and be careful. Our other roomate, Slyn is a real fox. She manuvers her way into your mind..like a...ummm, what's that called again?"
"A mind reader?"
"Yeah! Sort of like that..but they can take control," he put his fingers to his forehead, demonstrating how it worked.
I only shook my head but soon turned my attention to the bathroom door, Slyn was standing there with her clothing in one hand and a brush in the other. I only stared as she wandered over to her bed, pulled out clean clothing and began to dress without even breaking a red hue. "Oh, hello Damion," she said simply as she clipped her bra's snap, turned it around and put the straps over her arms and finally resting them on her delicate shoulders.
"Hiya, Slyn. How was the warm shower?" Damion inquired with that damn cheerful voice.
"Fine, but I heard you two talking and decided to make my shower short."
She put her pants on and I turned away to glare at Damion, for not telling me she was in the shower and for being there at this moment. Slyn turned to me," so..I want to know what lies within," she whispered as she leaned closer to me.
I frowned," what is withing will stay within."
"Hey, guys. Stop it with the whole..oh, hard to get. And the tough exterior doesn't really work for you, dude. It makes you unnapproachable."
I rolled my eyes, if only he knew. Slyn backed away and I wished she was still leaned towards me, but then I shook my head and laid down on my bed. She wandered over to Damion," could you take my brush and put it in the bathroom?" she inquired.
"Sure, but promise me something after I come back?"
"What is it?"
Damion leaned towards her and gave her a kiss, I felt my whole body fire up with hatred as I heard Slyn giggle. I closed my eyes but then felt Slyn's hands on my chest. "Legato...," she cooed.
"What do you want?" I inquired slowly through clenched teeth.
"Can you help me with something?"
"What?"
I opened my eyes and her face was only inches from mine. "I want you to help me with my hair, can you do that?"
"No..I can't," I replied and rolled onto my side.
"Legato," Slyn pestered.
I felt every bone in my body melt into my blood stream, I didn't feel like doing anything and I wouldn't even when I wanted to. Maybe my mind was settling into the normal teen mode. "Slyn, leave me alone."
I heard Slyn shuffle away towards the bathroom again and I bit my tongue, hard. Blood filled my mouth and I released my bite, blood filled my mouth like acid runs through Slyn's veins. As I closed my eyes, I ran a finger across the cuts on my chest. Thinking about what Knives had said, and world domination. But I could only hear the faint talking of Damion and Slyn, my name came up about two dozen times in their conversation so I used my powers and slammed the bathroom door shut. Blocking Slyn from my life once again, and keeping the fag Damion out. But doors don't hold the enemy off, it only hightens their curiosity of their victim. The victim is me.
"Legato, what's wrong with you?" Slyn inquired.
I didn't answer her, I only drew in a deep breath and fell into my blood dream. "Hey, dude..what's up?" Damion's voice asked.
Fury filled my heart and I turned around," you have no reason to ask me unintelligent questions, mortal. I hope you rot in hell after you die here," I said, a hint of venom tingling my tongue.
"Legato! He's a newcomer, you should be more nice," Slyn shot at me.
For once in these long years, no one has ever told me to be nice. Whatever nice was, I wasn't being that way and I didn't care. "Being nice only wears down the barrier to the outside world, Slyn. If your barrier is gone then anyone can take advantage of you, especially mr.nice guy over here. He could easily take advantage of your weaknesses and use them in his own ways," I hissed.
"Yeah right, it would be you who would take advantage!" Damion fired back.
I stood up from my bed, I was two heads shorter than the stupid dark haired mortal. But I didn't care really, my hands balled into fists as I glared at Damion. "Say that again and you'll wish you didn't!"
"Stop it you two!" Slyn cried and stepped between the two of us.
"Get out of the way, Slyn," I muttered.
"No! I know what you are, you're jealous!"
It was like she shot me in the back," how can you say that! I am not jealous, he just has this thing about him...it makes me loathe him, so very much! And why would I be jealous? Because you like him, hah, I wouldn't care if the world squished you!"
"I don't like Damion! He's a new friend!"
Damion's face was priceless, it was like Slyn kicked him in the groin. "But..Slyn, I like you..today, when we were talking..I was attracted to you and I still am," he said.
"Pitiful, you two. Why don't you guys just shove it with your emotions," I growled.
I turned but Slyn grabbed my hand," Legato!"
I turned around and raised my hand, sending her backwards into Damion," don't touch me!"
The door opened and I was hit from behind, I blacked out before I hit the ground and I heard the faint scream of Slyn.
~ Darkness ~
"Getting a little rowdy, weren't we?" an all too familiar voice inquired mockingly.
"Knives...," I muttered.
"The guards brought you here so I could sort you out, but you know me..all I want you to do is join me. To join me is to live...this place only brings pain on you. That girl brings confusion, you don't know what you feel..beings that you kissed her is a message that you are interested. I've been watching her and she really likes you..but she is only a slight 'Gift'. Her mind power is stronger than your own, but it doesn't faze you much. You let her overcome you, because within your ice heart is care and love...something we should deplete. That young man, Damion..he brings fury in your heart. I hate him too, because he has a cheery disposition," Knives said while a smirk slowly made it's way on his face.
I sat up but felt a sudden dull pain in the back of my head. Knives was sitting on his white, marble table watching my every move. It was like he was scanning me for emotions, tricks or something else. "Why don't we destroy this place..it would be an easy task," Knives said with a slight cheery tone.
"Why don't you tell my why the guards...took me from the room in the first place," I replied with a frown.
Knives sighed and spoke," Because you were going to attack Damion..they don't want any deaths right now because you already killed those three boys. While they took you out, Slyn was screaming your name and trying to help you. But the guards only knocked her away and Damion came to her aid. You should take advantage of her..you know you want to, Legato. You want to know how much pain it is to break someones' heart...because your own was broken long ago."
"How do you know of my past?"
"I've watched you, for a very long time, Legato. I was there when you were abandoned and then when you were taken into an orphanage...remember what happened there?"
I felt a sudden pain in my chest as the memories flooded my mind.
~ Flashback ~
"Legato! Legato Bluesummers, get over here. You're going to be late for comission again!" a lady yelled, it was Revil.
"I don't belong here....I belong somewhere else,"I replied with a frown, I was four at the time.
"Legato, don't make me come and get you! Get over here right now!"
"No!"
I then ran from Revil, turning for the wooded area. She caught me and fury built inside of me.
The flames of the burning orphanage, the heat of the flames still warming my body. I watched the pitiful people burn to death, a torch with no fire was clutched in my small hand. A sinister smile was on my lips but then I heard the sound of footsteps. "Hey...kid, are you alright?" a man inquired.
I turned around and the man was sent spiraling backwards, hitting a tree on his way and broke his neck. " Pitiful beings...one day, for your arrogance, I will kill your race. Become my own boss and turn this Earth into a barren wasteland...then the survivors will bow before me! Legato Bluesummers!" I cried.
A shot came from the right and pain surged into my ribcage, I collapsed while screaming in pain. Holding my side as it bled I frowned and bit my tongue. Two men walked over to me. "Is this the kid who torched the building?" the one on the left inquired to his partner.
" Well..he has the torch in his hand. Oh well, our orders were to take him into the Desert Asylum. Let's get the spread and put him on it," the other man replied.
