"The birds fly like they have no destiny."
"Yet why do we keep living?"
The crimson red lines never ending.
"We keep living...because it's our destiny. Our destiny is to live amongst people."
The tears never ending.
"Living in a world of fools! Open your goddamn eyes!"
"My eyes will forever be closed..."
The blood never ending.
"To live amongst these....spiders. I hate it all...I want to kill them all."
"That wouldn't be right..."
"Vash.."
"To live with the birds who have no wings, the people who have no minds and the plants which thrive on blood which rains down from the violence in the world. Christmas...hah! Only a human trait, a malicious way of sharing so called love and caring!"

"Wake up Vash," Meryl said through her falling tears and sniffles.
Vash opened his eyes and the dim light made it easy for his vision to focus. "Who....what happened?" He murmered.
Meryl wiped her tears away and held Vash closer to herself. Vash then realized where they were. Ice surrounded them and Meryl was holding him so close that he could hear her heartbeat loudly, he could even feel it against his right arm. Meryl was shaking with cold as she gazed into Vash's eyes. "I'm...I'm glad you're alright," she whispered, her breath misting.
Vash's own body felt warm and cozy, but he knew Meryl was probably freezing to death from the cold inside this high drift of snow that encased them in an icy grave. "Meryl."
"Vash...I'm really glad you..."
Meryl's eyes closed slowly and her shivering stopped. Vash's eyes widened as her heartbeat faded slowly away. "Meryl! Meryl! Don't close your eyes!" Vash exclaimed.
He moved and snow fell into the enclosure, making it difficult for him to hold her as she slowly deteriorated with the ice. Meryl's grip on him loosened. "Don't die Meryl! Not here!"
"I-I'm feeling nothing...is this what it's like?" Meryl gasped, her hands trembling as they dropped away from Vash.
Tears poured from Vash's eyes and his face looked like a child's, one who had something dear to him taken away with force. Never ever going to see that something again for the rest of his days. "Meryl! Be strong!"
"I c-can't, Vash....it's...it's so cold..so strong."
Vash shook his head and the tears turned to ice, shattering on the ground as they fell from his cheeks. He reached over and embraced Meryl tightly against him as snow fell down from the shallow top, covering the two with an icy blanket which had turned to mush from the sunlight above. "I won't let you die here, Meryl. Know what?"
Meryl nodded against him and held his clothes tightly in her grasp. Vash closed his eyes and rested his head ontop of hers. "It's Christmas day, Meryl."
He reached into his breast pocket and retrieved the necklace. "Time for your present...."
Vash put it on Meryl and pulled her closer so he could share his body heat. He felt wetness on his chest and Meryl made a shuddered hiccup. "V-Vash..."
The tears pitter pattered to the icy ground as Meryl wept in his arms, shaking with the deathly cold inside the chamber. "We'll get out of here, Meryl," Vash whispered.
Meryl pulled herself as close as she could to Vash and breathed in the gun smoke smell, he also smelled of a flower. "I...I h-hope so," she replied.
Vash looked down at Meryl and he felt the pain in his heart. Her lips were blue and her face was pale as she held him tight, shivering to death. His own sickness had went away, but he wanted to take away his heat and give it all to Meryl at this moment. Vash's brow came together as he looked up. "I'll get us out of here."
He raised his right hand up and his hand split, revealing his angel arm. Meryl closed her eyes and covered her ears as Vash let loose on the snowy ceiling. Water rained down on them as the energy melted the snow. Vash stopped firing once a hole was formed and he gathered Meryl in his arms, jumped out of the enclosure and landed on the snowy pavement outside. The wind howled and the familiar sound of christmas carols rang through the air. A fresh snow was already coming down and Vash held Meryl close to him. Meryl clenched his robe tight as she shivered again, her teeth chattering from the unbearable cold and wetness. Vash headed for his house and kicked the door open, knocking it loose on the hinges. He walked up the steps and entered his bedroom. "I'll get you something warm, Meryl. I'll call Milly to take care of-"
"No," Meryl murmered as she snuggled closer to Vash's chest.
Vash blinked and stood in the doorway with Meryl in his arms, her eyes closed and her clothing wet from the snow. Vash's own hair was matted to his skull from the water and a circle of run off had gathered on the floor beneath him. "You need to be in bed, you're shaking to death," Vash said.
Meryl nodded against his chest and Vash set her on the floor, holding her hands. He realized fatigue had taken over her body and her knees were shaking as she stood there. She took her right hand away and began to unbutton her shirt, making Vash breath in a nervous breath as she pulled the wet shirt off. "H-help me out of this...V-vash...," Meryl stammered.
Vash helped her out of her drenched outer garments, leaving her in underwear and a bra. He helped her over to the bed and settled her in. Meryl breathed in and let out a sigh, closing her eyes and falling asleep almost instantly. Vash turned to leave but Meryl caught his hand. He turned around and Meryl was staring at him. "Stay with me...please."
"Okay."
Vash nelt down beside the bed and Meryl grasped his hand tightly as she closed her eyes again. He stayed there, watching her dream and sleep contently. His own mind wandered back to previous christmases.

"It's Christmas!"
Vash ran down the dark halls, his mop of blonde hair not even brushed.
"Christmas...shit, the humans are making you weak," a figure sneered as Vash passed.
Vash stopped slowly and turned around. Knives was leaning against the plastic wall, his gaze on the floor. "This is a special time where Santa Claus comes, Knives! He might have left something for you!" Vash exclaimed with a wide grin.
Knives sent a glare in Vash's direction. "There is no such thing as presents. No such thing as that damn fat man with the so called jolly personification. He is nothing but a human's fairy tale! They need something to fall back on when they're only living in an imaginary and fake world they made up."
Vash's smile faded as Knives turned and walked away, vanishing into the shadows. "Not real...Christmas."
"The birds without wings get far in the world. Humans with no brains are just livestock, feeding off the planet without a care. The plants feed of the blood which is poured onto this forsaken soil! The plants are massacred without consent! Don't you get it?! We're going to die if they don't!"
Vash's fists shook with supressed anger.
"Vash! There is no such thing as Christmas. Shit, humans make it up just to think something is real in their damned Hell! They're going to tear this planet apart if we don't do something!"
"It's not true!!!" Vash cried.
====
"It's not true!!!"
Vash's eyes snapped open and he got to his feet, backing up until he reached the wall. "It's not true...no one makes things up just to feel that it's real," he murmered, his eyes wide with fear and anger.
Meryl was still asleep with all the yelling Vash had done. He settled himself and slide down to sit on the floor, his face buried in his hands. "What am I to do? Is Christmas real? Or was it a fake? Would Knives really lie to me?"
"Who would hurt...who would want to hurt just to feel real? Who would want to make something up to just live in reality?"
Vash rocked back and forth as tears slid down his cheeks.
Arms came around him and he closed his eyes. "What am I to do?" He asked.
"He lied to you...Vash, you know what reality is. Do you really believe humans are that bad?" Meryl inquired.
Vash raised his head up and the tears slid down his cheeks slowly. "I don't."
Meryl's eyes softened and Vash gazed into them. She looked so much like Rem, he thought with a sigh, she acts like her also.
"I think you should get your gift now."
Meryl got to her feet and wobbled. Vash got up and steadied her, helping her down the stairs and into the living room. She directed him to the present and Vash carried it back after finding it. "Open it," Meryl said as she layed down on the sofa.
Vash sat down in the rocking chair and began to unwrap the gift.
The lid came off and revealed....
== To Be Continued. == Ahh, what was the gift? The next chapter will be the last, sadly...^__; but if you'd like..I could write more fics like this one ^__^;; if you'd -like- me to. haha. Ja ne.
