Elsewhere in the town, Vash the Stampede leans against a partially destroyed wall, panting heavily. "Pant....gasp....wheeze....I'm hungry.....huh?" he looks up as a small black cat falls from nowhere. He reaches up and catches it, and strokes it. The cat blinks. "Myaa?" then purrs and rubs against Vash's hand, then hops down and walks off. Vash blinks and scratches his head "...ooooo-kay, that was weird...oh shit, here come those crazy townies again!" He leaps to his feet and starts sneaking off, but a man with a shotgun spots him.
"HEY! THERE HE IS! HEY EVERYONE! I FOUND HIM!" the man fires a round at Vash, who screams and dodges the large metal shotgun slug, which continues past and blows a hole in an already ravaged wall. Vash shakes a finger at the man, "You know that you're causing a lot of property damage trying to get me....AGH!" He dives out of the way and takes off running as the man aims and fires another slug. "Dammit! Missed again!"
Vash sighs as he runs, leaping up and grabbing a bent flagpole. He swings around the pole, then lets go and flips three times through the air, landing on top of one of the few buildings that are relatively unharmed. He looks around, hoping that no-one saw him get up onto the building.
Suddenly there is a 'whoosh' sound and he leaps up. The rocket from the rocket-launcher smashes into the building and detonates, sending huge chunks of building everywhere. Vash shrieks and leaps from chunk to chunk in midair, scrambling to an unharmed part of the building and leaping down the stairwell. He falls down the stairs, and lands in a heap at the bottom of the landing. Muffled cursing comes from under his trench coat, and he picks himself up, rubbing his back as he massages the bruises and dashes out of the back door.
After about 15 minutes of alternating between sneaking past patrols and screaming while dodging bullets on the run, he finally manages to evade pursuit, and collapses into the surviving half of a couch. "Jeeze, I didn't think I would ever lose them! They are almost as bad as those insurance girls!" He finally uses this time to pull some bullets out of his bag, and load his silver Colt .45 revolver. As he does, who would happen to come across him, but Meryl and Milly, the insurance girls.
Meryl stomps up to him and plants a punch on the top of his head, smashing his face into the sand. "That's for running off again!" just as he pulls his head out of the sand, she decks him again, "and THAT'S for blowing up the town!" Vash pulls his head out for a second time and cringes. He rubs his head and in a whiney tone, "Owwww! That hurt! I know I ran off, but I was hungry! And as to blowing up the town, I didn't do it! All the towns- people did it trying to kill me!"
Meryl blinks, then points a finger at Milly "Don't say a word!" She turns back to Vash and puts her hands on her hips, "Well, I'm sorry for hitting you, but what do you want me to do?" Vash smiles with watery eyes, "Well...you could take that last punch back, and kiss it better."
Meryl pulls back her fist to deck him again "Pervert!" Milly stops her "Now Meryl, you always insist on fixing your mistakes!" Meryl looks at Milly as if she just betrayed her, then sighs, "Oh, all right. I'm sorry for punching you, Vash" She bends down and kisses the top of his head gently. Vash smiles and gets up "Thank you, apology accepted....something wrong?"
Meryl quickly stifles her blush, and shakes her head, "No, of course not!" Vash smiles, looking like he suspects. Then he shrugs, turns, and starts walking down the street...or should I say, dancing. He hums to himself as he walks, his eyes might as well be closed, as much as he's paying attention to his surroundings. The song sounds suspiciously like 'Breakdown', by Tantric. Milly and Meryl blink at each other, then jog to catch up to the dancing buffoon and flank him as he dance/walks down the street.
The sheriff comes out onto the street and blinks as Vash dances past, flanked by the two girls. "....." he shakes his head, as if to clear it, then continues walking, tallying up the damage. He has just finished, and as he finishes adding up the total damages, there is a shout and the sound of a grenade exploding, followed by the sound of two girls' screams. A large chunk of building falls to the ground in front of him. He sighs, and adds another $$1000 to the total. The afore-mentioned grenade bounces off Vash's head, who quickly kicks it away using a back-flipping kick. The grenade flies away and blows up a wall, spraying deadly shrapnel everywhere. But none of it hit Vash, he had picked up Milly and Meryl in each arm and leaped behind cover, saving their lives.
Meryl has her eyes squeezed shut, and is clinging to Vash's body like a scared child looking to a loved-one for protection. Milly also has her eyes shut, but has her hands over her ears to protect them from the noise. Vash blinks down at Meryl, who opens one eye, then both. She blushes bright red and drops off of Vash's body like he burned her. Vash turns slightly pink and sets down Milly, who looks blankly at Vash and Meryl, wondering why they are behaving like that. Vash coughs, and then Meryl blinks out of her trance and shakes her head, "Um, right....Are you ok Milly?"
Milly smiles, looking slightly dim-witted, "I'm fine sempai! If it wasn't for Mr. Vash, we would probably be dead!" Meryl looks at Vash, and feels a blush rise in her cheeks again. She quickly suppresses it and tries to glare at Vash. "Don't remind me, he's saved our lives too many times already, and most of them wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for him in the first place!" Vash makes a small sound, something like 'eep' and leans back, "Wait! Time-out!"
Meryl sighs and crosses her arms. "There's no time for arguments, lets just move on." Vash blinks, regains his composure, and smiles. "Then..bye!" And suddenly he disappears, with only a cloud of dust moving off around the corner, out of the town, and into the distance to show that he was ever there.
Meryl's eye twitches. "MILLY! HE'S GETTING AWAY! AFTER HIM!" The two Insurance girls grab their bags, hop into the only intact car in the area, and put the pedal to the floor, zooming off over the dunes after the psycho in the red trench coat.

Well, there's Chapter Two! I'm sorry about such a long delay, but Writer's Block, combined with never-ending computer problems, school, and another fan-fic added up against me, and I was only just now able to get enough time to work on the chapter. Hopefully Chapter Three will make up for the delay!
What will happen next? Feel free to e-mail me or leave a review with any ideas!
Love and Peace!
