Cathowl: I'm so glad you liked your lemon!
A/N Finally, I got this chapter out for you all. The polls for romance
couples are closed. So sorry it took a while, writers black and all that.
And I started a DBZ story. It's up at mediaminer.org if any of you would
like to read it. I only have one review, so it's low priority. So review if
you like it.
Now on to this installment of SOTD: Y&Y!!
* * *
Knives was about ready to kill the human after only two hours of travel. She had been watching him out of the corner of her eye the entire time; and when he glared at her, she would just give him a half smile and turn back to watching the way ahead. Knives was wondering if agreeing to his brother's request hadn't been a mistake.
Vash had asked his if traveling by that night was alright with him and he had agreed, if only to have something to do. Waiting for evening had been a dull affair in and of itself. The girl had slept the entire time, (which he supposed was the reason she was rather energetic now.) and his brother had been off in his own world, not to his surprise. But now, the ice eyed plant just wanted sit down in the sand and figure out some way to kill the damn bitch.
Gah!
There she was, looking at him again! Right, enough was enough!
Halting in his tracks, Knives clenched his fists so hard his knuckles turned white. "Will you stop looking at me?!" His shriek caused his twin to halt and look back at him, surprised. But the girl.just kept walking. "Damn it you human scum, don't ignore me!!" Nicky paused and turned to regard the irate plant with a bland face. "Please make up your mind." Knives' eyes widened. Vash began to fidget but wasn't about to get in the middle of this. "What- did you- just say?" The ice-eyed plant's voice was deadly calm. "Well, first you're pissed that I kept looking at you, and then you're mad because I do what you ask. So, if you would be so kind, please make up your mind." Turning back around, the dual hued-eyed female restarted her traverse across the desert.
The homicidal plant wasn't going to take that lying down. Kicking up a stream of sand, he ran up behind Nicky and snatched the Colt from her waistband. The girl stopped when she felt the gun ripped from her waist and became dead still when she heard the hammer cock right behind her head.
"You damn bitch. I've had enough of your attitude; it ends here."
The plant's voice was calm and deadly serious. A small thrill of fear ran along in Nicolae's mind, causing a shiver to course up her spine. It had been so long since she felt the adrenaline rush of being at another's mercy; of being on the razor thin wire between life and death.
Maybe he'll be the one to end it.
Don't count on it.
As if in answer, she registered the sound of her captor's voice and another.
"- human Vash! Why the Hell do you insist on trying to save their pathetic lives?" "Knives, put the gun down! I won't let kill another person." "Save it brother! We'd all be better off without her kind anyway." "No! I won't."
"Do it." The quiet command rang through the words of the bickering duo, silencing them. The twin blonds turned surprised eyes to the lithe female, poised at the end of the gun's barrel. "What?" Knives couldn't stop the question from leaving his mouth. "I said." Nicolae turned to face her companions. "do it. Kill me." Silence. "You can't be serious." Vash took a hesitant step forward, disbelief written across his face. Nicky smiled happily, the barrel of her gun pointed directly between her gold and silver colored eyes. "Oh, I'm quite serious. It would make things a whole lot easier if you just would. I'm not supposed to be here anyway." The last part was said quietly, more to herself. Looking to the ice-eyed plant who held her life, the girl's smile widened.
Knives was frozen. Her body radiated nonchalance, but her eyes pleaded with him to pull the trigger. They were so soft. His finger tightened reflexively. He hesitated. The dual colored eyes suddenly turned from soft and pleading, to hard and filled with fire and malice. The switch was so abrupt and total, it was shocking. Time seemed to halt for him. He stared down the length of the gun into windows that held flawless hatred for him. And he realized it was true; that if he killed this woman now, things would become a lot simpler.
Time started again.
Vash would hate you.
He pulled the trigger, loosing the bullet at point blank range.
Starring into the odd colored eyes before him that no longer held hatred, Millions Knives lowered the gun. "Don't piss me off again." Dropping the Colt at her feet, the plant walked passed her, ignoring his twin's questioning thoughts.
Lifting her hand, Nicolae Schneider wiped the thin line of blood off her cheek from where the bullet had grazed her. Starring at it, she smiled sadly. He almost did it. Yes, but he hesitated. I told you he wouldn't.
She nodded, still watching the life essence on her fingers. A hand settled softly on her shoulder. Looking up, Vash searched her face, concerned. "Are you alright?" Nicky nodded, her smile becoming happy. "Yes. This just makes things more complicated, that's all." The cyan-eyed plant frowned; she just shook her head and gestured after his brother. "Come on, we'd better catch up with him." He nodded and turned to go. Pausing, he looked as though he was going to say something, but thought better of it. The lithe female watched him for a moment, before bending down and retrieving her firearm. Slipping it back into her waistband, she trotted slowly to reach her two companions, absently licking her blood from her fingers as she went.

"That didn't as I planned it." He rubbed his chin in thought. "When does it ever?" He smiled, amused at the Other. "Well, he didn't kill her." "True," He paused and chuckled. "But now she's even more determined than before." "They are playing every angle any of Us can think of." His voice showed mild frustration. The Other sighed. "Of course. They didn't get this far just by Chance. We are only lucky that no Others have joined Them." He growled. "Well what the." he stopped, catching himself and glanced apologetically at his companion. The Other nodded for him to continue. "What are we supposed to do now?" He smirked, forming a small flame in his upturned palm. "We throw a wild card into the fray." The Other nodded, if a bit sadly.

A/N: Uh.done. Kurai: Took you damn well long enough! Shut up! I was working on Cathowl's one shot! (Anyone who wants to read it can find it at mediaminer.org my penname there is Chibi Gemi. It's my only Trigun story so it isn't that hard to find. Be warned, it's V/K lemon) And my DBZ ficcy! Kurai: Fine, fine. These chapters are getting shorter, but you're not getting them out any sooner. Blame it on school. And I don't have a muse for this story. Kurai: What about me?! You're my DBZ muse. Kurai: Oh. R&R Please! (this is getting confusing, I think. Bare with me, it is going someplace.we're just making a lot of detours to get there.) Kurai: You are SO going to revamp this when you're done. Yes'm!!
