How about doing the disclaimer, O Disclaimer Man Gene Starwind?
^_^= Oh yeah, that would be nice to know he doesn't own Trigun. ^_^=
RECAP!!!!
Vash our hero has created a treaty between his brother, Knives, and nephew, Seiko, in order to help them defeat the new Gun Ho Gun affectivity. Now that he is happy with them the anti Gun Ho Gun group is on their way to the head quarters of the Gun Ho Guns.
Six: Bereavement
"Good dr'nks aye, V'sh," Seiko asked after the fifth bottle of saké was forced down his throat in alternating turns by Med and Critos.
"Ya know ya really shouldn't be drinkin' alcohol 'til yer twenty-one," Wolfwood murmured.
"It okay, Wolfwood, he's really twenty-eight," Critos informed him, pouring the sixth bottle down Seiko's throat as Seiko fell over onto the counter, drool flying from his mouth.
"…"
"Of course, Wolfie, I thought you knew that living plants have irrational growth patterns," Vash informed Wolfwood. Before he reached into his pocket with one quick movement and producing his headband. "And now, ladders and gentleman… *achem*," Vash announced standing on top of his barstool as Med and Critos began to drum on the used beer and saké bottles in a pattern that should be familiar to anyone that has ever watched the ending credits to Trigun. "Na Nana Na Nana Na Nana Na, Na, Na, Na, Aoi -" Vash was cut off as a flying Kuroneko was chucked at him.
"Yah an' stay that way yer idiot!" a man who had thrown Kuroneko at Vash shouted.
"Excuse me but who at this bar might bare the name Seiko Megalopolis?"
"He does!" Med shouted raising Seiko's arm as Seiko remained sleeping on the bar.
"I see. Tell him when he wakes up that there is a package here for him."
"Yes sir!" Med and Critos both chorus giving the bartender that stupid salute Vash and Wolfwood used to do. Then they poured another bottle down Seiko's throat as the bar tender watched in disgust.

"Hey, Chi, what time is it?" Seiko asked waking up sober and a bit irritated.
"It is nine forty-two a.m.," Chi replied looking out the window at the clock tower in the town square.
"I slept for five minutes?" Seiko asked wondering how he was only drunken from six or seven bottles of saké and managed to wake up sober five minutes later.
"No, you slept for twenty-four hours and five minutes."
"Darn! He still hasn't broken his record," Med chimed up.
"I don't want to sleep for over two days again!" Seiko shouted.
"Wow! Even I haven't gone that long!" Vash exclaimed.
"Vash!"
"What?
"What's in that basket you have there."
"It's yours," with that Vash hands the basket to Seiko shoving a note in his face.
"Ok… 'Dear Seiko, Hello, I am your son. I have no name," Seiko read aloud. "'Please take good care of me. –Yours truly, your son…. P.S. My name, please!'"
"Ooooooooooooooooo! Who's the mom?" Med, Vash, Knives, Critos, and Wolfwood chorused.
"I don't know! I've never even had a girlfriend let alone a wife!"
"Sure…" Critos joked.
"Hey!"
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" 0.0

"Knives, I don't know what to do," Seiko stared down at the floor of their hotel room the baby in his arms rapped in his tan cloak.
"Well, that makes us even, I don't know what to tell you," Knives replied trying to think to think of something to do with the baby.
"Maybe you should take it back to my house and have Meryl and Milly take care of him while we go take care of destroying the Gun Ho Guns," Vash chimed in bursting though the door.
"Now that's an idea," Seiko agreed.
"Ok-" Vash was cut off as a giant what looked like a bullet came crashing though the roof.
"Hello, you fools!" Hoppard shouted from his shield.
"Hoppard!" Knives and Vash chorused as Critos, Chi, and Med burst in. Just then, Hoppard launched himself through the air aiming for Vash and Knives. When Seiko rushed over, setting the baby down on the bed, and taking the hit for Vash and his father who where unable to dodge, glued to the spot with shock.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" Seiko screamed his right arm falling to the ground blood flying everywhere.
"Seiko!" Vash shouted running over to him. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine just go stop him!" Seiko ordered Vash.
"But-" Vash protested, but was cut off by Seiko.
"No. Now!" Seiko shouted shoving Vash towards the battle.
Just then, Chi was successful in pinning Hoppard down for a short time before he went on the attack again. Now Med was launching his spikes at him knocking him off balance where Chi again forced him down, when a black beam engulfed Hoppard. When it finally stopped, Hoppard emerged dazed, his shield lying on the ground beside the mask he wore. "Where for art I?" he asked in a British accent.
Vash turned sharply to where the beam had come from in time to see what looked like an angel arm detach itself from Seiko's left arm. "Seiko what was that?"
"A special version of the angel arm. It… It can rid a person of any demon in side of them," Seiko replied weakly blood dripping onto the bead he was laying on.
"Hey, Vash, isn't this the town with that doctor you took me to, to get that robotic leg I needed to replace the one that got amputated after the fight?"
"Oh yeah! He is in this town! Hey, Seiko, I'm going to take you to a doctor that can replace that arm of yours, ok?"
"Sure…" Seiko drifted into unconsciousness from the loss of blood.
"Hurry," Chi ordered, "I will care for his child while he is gone."
