Adventures of Vash the (mini) Stampede: Ep.3 Legato Special
Disclaimer: I own? Nah! (More like I WISH! ^_^)
Notes: Hmm.. In case you haven't guessed by now, this particular series of mine is written in 'Chibi-VisionTM' which means you need to go to your happy place & imagine everyone SD'd (super-deformed/chibi'd) in order to reap the full benefits of the fluffiness & humor. (& it doesn't hurt to remember that the normal laws of physics & the planet Gunsmoke don't necessarily apply here ^_^)
Also: Two songs kinda inspired this a little; 'Pretty Girl' by Sugarcult (it's got a creepy sound to it, don't let the title fool you! It just sorta said 'Legato' to me.) & 'Die Another Day' by Madonna (this one's for the special guest, since it just might fit him. And I'm not telling who it is here; you'll just have to keep reading!)
This is mostly for my friend Athena, who loves Leggy-kun. (How CAN'T you? ^_^)
That said: Enjoy the chibi-ness & R&R, onegai?
Legato-chan's Quest for Food
Legato was rather happy for once. Knives-sama had given him the day off, so he was free to indulge in his second favorite hobby (next to wanton destrution that is): eating. This time though, he was looking for something specific; mint chocolate chip ice cream. His only problem seemed to be getting someone to serve him some. Every town he went to appeared to be closed up in preparation for a storm.
Funny.I didn't hear anything about it from Master Knives.Oh wellhe thought as he shrugged and continued on to the next little settlement.
He discovered an odd sight there; a boy of around fifteen or so was wandering around. That of itself wouldn't have been so odd.. Except that he had a pair of little black dragonish wings and was carrying a scythe while wearing a black ball cap and clothes. He also had a three foot chestnut braid. Strange for a boy. Though not a bad lookLegato thought as he watched the scene play out.
"HEY, c'mon! I KNOW you're in there! I can here you praying that I go away!"the strange boy yelled as he pounded on a door just off the main street. "All I want is lunch!"
Legato grinned as he approached the boy. He sounds very familiar for some reasonhe thought.
"Konnichi wa boy. You seem to be having the same problem I am. And today was supposed to be such a nice day, too,"Legato said with a touch of amusement in his voice.
The boy quickly turned to face him with an irked expression on his face and a little vein throbbing on his head.
"Who're YOU?! Are you gonna give me a problem, too?!"he growled, showing ookami fangs and brandishing his scythe. His stomach growled just then and he sweatdropped and blushed in embarrassment.
Legato laughed and folded his arms across his chest. "My name is Legato.Legato Bluesummers,"he said.
"I'm Duo Maxwell, but people sometimes call me the 'Teeny Shinigami'. For some reason, people are really having a problem with me today."Duo's brow knit in irritation. "Like they've never seen a guy with wings and a scythe before. Sheesh!"He held out a hand and Legato shook it.
"I believe we're kindred spirits, Shinigami-san.I've been to four towns looking for nothing more than my favorite ice cream and this is the same reception I've been getting."His visible golden eye narrowed. "And I'm starting to get ticked off."
Some of the curious and wary townsfolk's eyes could be seen peeking through their curtains shutters and blinds. Duo turned and gave a raspberry and an 'in your eye!' gesture to a pair of eyes looking from behind a curtain near the door he'd banged on. The eyes widened and quickly disappeared.
"Hey, I've got an idea Legato-san,"Duo said with a mischievous little grin on his violet eyed face. He walked a little ways away and motioned a puzzled Legato over. Legato shrugged and came over to lean in as Duo laid out his plan, his little wings fluttering in excitement.
They parted from their discussion and Duo said loudly, "Well then, I guess we'll just have to leave and go bug the next town then, huh Legato- san?" He started to walk away, leaning his scythe against his shoulder as he hummed a little tune.
Legato cleared his throat and said, "Yes, I agree. THESE people obviously aren't going to show us any hospitality. Let's go, Shinigami-san."
They walked together to the end of the town then hid behind some conveniently placed boulders to watch. Duo giggled and pointed. The cringing townspeople were gradually filing outside and going about their business. Now! Legato thought to Duo, who nodded.
They snuck around behind the nearest building and then ran full tilt into town. The people's eyes widened and a few sweatdropped and yelled warnings. Things were dropped as they ran screaming back towards their homes and shops but Legato caught them in mid-stride with his psy- abilities. He and Duo found the nearest little food shop and ran inside as they slammed the doors behind them. They grinned at each other, pleased that their little plan worked.
"Hah! That'll teach 'em not to serve US!"Duo said as he went to the windows to wag his little braid at the po'd frozen citizens.
Legato nodded in agreement as he found the ice cream counter. Ah! Heavenly frozen treats! he thought then found a typically huge ice cream scoop under the counter. "One scoop or two Shinigami-san?"he asked Duo, who practically bounced all genki over to park it on a stool as he grinned widely.
"Two of course! One mint chocolate chip and the other cookies 'n cream onegai?"Duo said as he leaned his scythe against the counter.
"As you wish,"Legato replied as he heaped said ice cream into Duo's giant dessert bowl. Then he fixed his own and rooted around in various containers set into the counter, smiling as he discovered toppings. He even found whipped cream and cherries in a fridge under the counter and loaded up then garnished with rainbow sprinkles.
Duo held out his bowl with pleading puppy eyes and Legato smirked. How can I ignore a fellow ice cream otaku? he thought to Duo and piled on the goodies for him. He then came around to park it on a stool next to a very genki Duo, whose little wings were zipping like a hummingbird's as he dug in.
"Arigato gozaimashita Legato-san!"Duo said in between bites.
Legato grinned as he quietly enjoyed his treat. "Do itashimashite otoutosan. [1] Enjoy,"he replied and savored every bite. After they finished their ice cream they decided to split a sandwich.
"Do you think you should un-paralyze them yet?"Duo asked with a little whipped cream still on his nose.
Legato looked out the windows at the irked vein-throbby people as a tumbleweed bounced by. He turned back to Duo and chuckled as he handed him a napkin. "Maybe after dinner,"he told Duo as Duo wiped his nose. The pair looked at each other for a second of silence then a little snort escaped Legato and they both cracked up.
Meanwhile a few birds rejoiced at the multitude of new statues they'd found to rest on. The 'statues' sweatdropped with wide eyes as they hoped for good laundry service.
*OWARI*
[1]: Legato said, "You're welcome little brother." 'Otoutosan' (sometimes 'otootosan') means 'little/younger brother.'(I thought it was sort of appropriate since Leggy-kun & Duo-chan have the same seiyuu; a very talented man named Toshihiko Seki. (I hope I spelled his name right!) He has quite a singing voice as well & has a couple CDs out in Japan.He even voices a lot of other anime chara so if you're a big fan like me, look for 'em!
Anyway.. How was this little chibi-infested tale? Hope nobody went into sugar shock. I'm working on a strange little Knives-sama one next. And knowing MY muses, it'll most likely be pretty strange indeed. ^_^ Ja minnasan!
