2-Dark Dust
'Be careful! He's injured..' I look at Meryl who tries to get Legato on a Thomas, and miserably fails because he's twice as tall as her.. Look, he almost falls! Legato!
'Don't worry, mister Vash, I got him!' Milly looks happy at me, with Legato in her arms.
'Good.' Meryl says. 'Since we have only two Thomasses, Milly can sit with Legato and Vash, you can sit with me.' I nod, I would rather sit with Legato, but am too tired to take good care of him now. I look at the moons, then close my eyes and sleep, as the animals carry us through the dessert..
Milly looked at the pale, blue haired man who was sitting before her, and felt worried.. his breathing was very weak, and she didn't know if he would survive the long way home.. and even if he did, he was a suicidal maniac, he wanted to be dead! She shouldn't care though, this was the man who killed her beloved Nicolas! But as he was laying in her arms, as she reminded him in the arms of Vash, so alone.. she didn't really care anymore whether Legato was a killer or not. To her youngest-of-11-siblings logic, this was a man who needed her to care for him, and she would.
It was already dark, but all the five moons were up, so they decided to continue, not saying a word.. that is, until Legato woke up..
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``````````
What.. what happened.. where.. it's so..dark.. am I.. dead? Yes.. finally.. hear the silence.. but.. where am I? Nothingness? Hell? Some.. someone is holding me.. Death? Is that you? Why.. why don't you speak? Death..
I try to move, as I feel something.. something that destroys all my dreams, all my hope, all my faith, that makes me stop to believe in Nothingness..
Pain.
It hurts.. I don't know what, but something, or maybe everything, on my body hurts.. pain.. am I.. am I not free?
Where am I?
Milly laid her head on Legato's hair, as she suddenly felt how he was moving.. 'Legato?' Was he awake? That couldn't be! She remembered Sempai sitting with him, and saying he would probably not wake up for a long time, if he even woke up.. 'Legato?' No answer. Maybe.. maybe he just has a nightmare.. that could be, she thought, I suppose psychopaths have nightmares.. she heard something, maybe a groan, or a sob.. he was awake.. she was scared, and looked at Sempai and Vash. Vash was sleeping, he was very tired of everything that happened today, and Sempai was almost sleeping.. she didn't want to wake them up, but.. but what if Legato really woke up? 'shhh..' she whispered, a little bit afraid, trying to get him asleep again. What would happen if he woke up, this man was a killer! 'Sleep..'
A nice hand runs through my hair.. but I feel it's fear.. what.. why am I not dead? The last thing I remember.. is Vash almost wanting to shoot me.. arms of Death embracing me.. I feel I'm trembling.. no.. the fear.. the voices.. they begin, again.. and again..
And again..
Until I die, oh please give me rest! Give me rest, why won't you let me sleep? Why won't you take the pain away, Death I love You! Why.. what must I do to be able to get to You?
'Please..'
She suddenly felt so afraid, he was talking! So.. he really was awake.. Please? What does he want?
'Legato?' She held him tight, hoping it would give him a warm feeling, he was shivering and it was pretty cold here.. she hoped he would fall asleep if he felt a little bit better too..
'Are.. you..'
His voice.. it's so.. weak, nothing more than a whisper.. 'Shh, don't talk. Just sleep..'
'Death?'
She felt cold inside, death? 'No.. I am not death! I am Milly! Legato, you're alive!' she felt how the scared feeling was gone, she now was worried, what was wrong with him? She held him in her arms, laid her head on his hair again, and began to hug him like a little child, while she was crying over this poor, lost man.. 'Oh Legato..'
So..so it's true.. I'm.. alive! No.. It can't be! I am dead! I am NOT lying in the arms of a stupid human girl! What? She is.. crying? Why?
'I'm so sorry for you..' she whispers with her pathetic voice. Why? Why would you be sorry for me?
With all the strength his body had, he turned away from her and fell of the Thomas in the sand of the dark dessert. Milly saw Vash immediately woke up, and looked at her with worried, and a bit sleepy, eyes. 'What..' he whispered, and jumped of the Thomas. Meryl woke up too, and looked at Milly, who was silently crying, as Vash walked to Legato who was sitting in the dark dust..
'Legato?' the blonde gunman whispered, and tried to lay his hand on Legato's shoulder to comfort him, but the moment they touched each other, a loud 'snap!' was heard, and even in the dark, with as only light the 5 moons, Milly knew what that meant: Legato.. hit Vash?
Vash walked backwards, as the wounded, pale psychopath stood up and walked to him, dangerously whispering questions Milly couldn't answer. 'Why..' he said.. 'Don't you understand..'
'Legato, calm down, I did it for your own good and..' 'You don't know what's good for me!' Legato screamed. 'Don't you understand.. I hate you! Why did you take me away from my Master, you made me fail my mission, the only thing that made me a little less worthless!' 'Legato, you're not worthless, believe me, I want to show..' 'Shut up.. I.. I'm going, you can't stop me, I'll go back to Master and then you'll be sorry for not killing me!' 'No!'
Vash grabbed Legato when he was trying to run away, and tried to stop him, which was very hard because the younger man kept crawling. 'Let me go!' he screamed, desperately trying to use his powers, only to notice he was too weak for that. 'No, don't go back to my brother, he's mean to you!' Legato laughed. 'You don't understand anything of me or my Master!' 'Legato, please.. I want to care for you, stop..' After that, Legato freed himself of Vash' grip, but the gunman still held his stomach, knowing that was his weak spot. His nails went deep into the blue haired man's flesh, and he screamed of pain. 'You..I.. hate you.. You're.. you're even worse than I am..' Legato stood a few meters away from Vash, holding his wounds and glaring at him, breathing heavily. 'I'm sorry..' Vash whispered, and tried to reach for Legato, but the younger man walk back with every step Vash took. 'Don't.. come near.. me..' he whispered.
It might have been the sight of Vash almost crying, or Legato who didn't want to give up, while it was so obvious he was dying, but Milly couldn't take it anymore: she jumped to Legato, and held him. Legato screamed of the pain and surprise, and began to crawl, trying to hurt her and escape, but Milly was a strong girl: she could handle a weakened man like Legato, who was screaming all kinds of things, at her, at Vash, but mostly at himself..
Vash moved closely to Legato, and saw the face of the other man was wet of tears. Vash let his hand touch Legato's cheek, and smiled. 'sssh..' he whispered. 'Don't resist.. believe me, you will like it with us..' 'Like hell I will' Legato groaned, then suddenly his knees gave up, and he felt down in the sand.
The three looked at the man who was sitting on his knees in the sand, crying.. he looked so helpless, according to Milly, and again she felt sorry for the murderer of her love..
'Don't you understand..' Legato sobbed 'I.. just want rest, I just want to sleep, no more pain, no more tears.. why can't you do that, I thought you want all humans to be happy, please.. make me happy..'
Vash kneeled down and held Legato's pale face in his hands. 'I will make you happy, but not with killing you. Just believe me when I say there are so many ways to be happy.. and I will teach you. I'll take the pain away, and heal you..'
'Why?' Legato said, his voice being nothing more than a hoarse whisper.
Good question, Vash thought. Why? Why did he want this man to be happy, he's a killer! Luckily, Vash didn't have to answer, because Legato fainted and laid against the gunman's chest. Vash carefully took Legato in his arms, when Milly laid the blanket around him and he carried the pale man to the Thomas, as they continued their journey home..
