Chapter 2: Recovering quickly
Alright. This is the second chapter. Sorry about the format. If it's too hard to read, tell me in the reviews. I'll fix it there
I forgot where Vash was supposed to go after he fought with Knives, but right now, he's in Augustus.
Im not very good at remembering names. I have to watch the series again. I forgot the girl's name that made Vash another red coat.
I'll just call her Melinda for now.Time to get started. Enjoy.

Death was all around him. Wolfwood, Rem, and almost Knives. The world was a black swirling mass of death and destruction. Had he caused all this? No, it couldn't have been him. It just couldn't....
Vash awoke with a start and was sweating heavily. It was a nightmare. He got out of bed and looked at Wolfwood's cross which was leaning against the wall. He had taken up Wolfwood's job as a traveling priest, but the cross was something more than it seemed. Vash had made a few adjustments to it, and had gotten the gun in his arm put back. He didn't have the gun his brother Knives made though. That had to be destroyed.
Vash walked over to the stove and fried an egg. He put it on a piece of toast and took a bite out of it, when he heard a knock on the door. Vash walked over to the door.
"Who is it?
"Let us in. We want to see you." It was Meryl. She had Millie with her. He was almost overjoyed. He opened the door. Meryl was holding a box with a delicious aroma coming from it.
"Hi Meryl. Hi Millie. Are those what I think they are?" Vash pointed to the box. His mouth was watering.
"Open up and see." Vash opened the box. It was a deluxe box of thirty donuts, honey glazed, fresh from the fryer. He couldn't believe it.
"Oh my god I'm so grateful." He said quickly as he took the box and began shoveling donuts into his mouth.
"Can we come in?" Millie asked. Vash stopped chewing and sort of hummed and smiled at the same time.
"What kind of an answer was that?" Vash swallowed.
"Sure come in." He stepped back and let the girls walk in. The first thing they noticed was the cross. Millie almost began to cry, but held it in. She missed him dearly.
"Can I get you anything to eat or drink?"
"No, we're fine. We just ate."
"Ok" Vash was happy to see Meryl. He had missed her. He had heard about her job as a barmaid in her letters. He hoped nothing had happened.
"Vash, where did your red coat go?" Millie asked
"It was too heavy, and I had Knives on my back. I wouldn't have made it very far with it on. I wrote a letter to Melinda asking for a new one. I didn't specify a color though."
"Oh, ok."
"How's Knives doing?" Meryl asked.
"He's recovering quickly. His bullet wounds are almost gone. He's just like me. Its kind of hard to tell we're brothers though."
"That's true. Well, we have to go now. Bye Vash."
"Bye girls." The girls walked out. Vash smiled. He was happy to see them. He took a donut out of the box and took a bite of it. About five donuts later (Remember, Vash eats donuts really fast) There was another knock on the door.
Vash got up and walked to the door and opened it. A man with a package in his hands was standing there.
"Package for you sir."
"Thanks" Vash took the package and sat at the table. He opened it up. Inside was a note from Melinda.
"Dear Vash,
Here's your coat. I picked a color that would look really good on you. I hope you like it."
His coat was wrapped in white paper. He unwrapped it.
"Whoa..." Vash took the coat out. He looked at it wide eyed. It was black, but it was a lot lighter than usual. It was the same exact size though. Vash tried it on. There was a loop in the back for the cross, and provided easy acess to it. The pocket for his gun was still there. He didn't know why though. He destroyed it a while ago.
Vash walked out the door. There was another box at the front of the door. It had no name on it. He picked it up. It was heavy. Vash opened it up. He was surprised to see what was in there. It was a six shot revolver with a long barrel, just like his old one. There were eighteen bullets in quick reloaders and six bullets in the barrel.
Vash picked up the gun. It was a little lighter than the old one, but still heavy nonetheless. Vash picked up the gun and put it in his pocket. He put the quick reloaders in little loops at his side. He walked back into his room and put the cross in the loop on his back. It wasn't that heavy as it was before. Vash walked out the door to the hospital
When Vash arrived in Knives' room, he noticed that Knives was out of bed.
"Well, its good to see your up and about." Knives turned his head to Vash and smiled. Vash wondered if Knives had truly changed.
"Vash, whats with the guns." Knives said as he pointed to the silver handgun.
"It was an anonoumys package."
"Well, its good to see a change of colors at least. Nice coat."
"Thanks." Knives had changed.
"Vash..." Knives said
"Yea Knives."
"I'm sorry....for killing all of those people. I know some of them were dear to you. I'm really sorry."
"Sorries wont bring them back. They're gone."
Knives was keeping a secret from Vash. He was going to surprise him. It would be a pleasent surprise indeed.
"I know that Vash. If there's anything I can do to help, just tell me."
"I doubt you can bring them back. There's nothing you can do. Thanks for offering."
Vash walked out the door. Knives wasn't going to surprise Vash. Not yet anyway. It would either kill him, or drain him of all his strength. Later he thought, later...

Vash: Dude, this is such a cool coat.
Knives: I want one.
Meryl: I'm out of money. I used all of it on the donuts. Can I borrow some AP
AP: Sorry, I dont have any double dollars. I'm here on Earth, while your on some distant planet. Sorry
Meryl: Awwwwww
AP: Anyway. Time for me to go. I have to go write to my g/f. Bye all. Peace out ^_^
