Thanks for the reviews! And sorry for not updating so long.. but well, here
it is: a new chapter ^_^ oh, and to the guy who commented on Vash not being
human: you're completely right, that was stupid of me.. I should've said
'person' or 'living being' or something. Anyway, I hope you guys like this
chapter.. loooots of OOC for Legato, but that'll be explained. Personally I
don't really think it's OOC, we just see a very different side of him.
Anyway, enjoy!
2- Forgotten Angels
'You committed suicide.. I was the only one who expected that.'
Vash looked at Legato, still stunned. Then, he looked at his own body. He was completely naked, but he noticed having the body he had at the age of 130. He looked at Legato, who smiled. 'People here get the body they want and had in a stage of their former life. Just which one they liked the most. I guess you would like this one.' Vash nodded. 'I.. I don't know what I was thinking.. I promised to be strong..' he whispered. Legato smiled. 'You are Vash, you are..' Vash looked at his body again, and then at Legato. He was shocked to see his lover was crying. Tears flowed freely and he was shaking. 'Vash..' he whispered. Vash just smiled and took Legato in his arms. He saw Legato's wings disappeared. Legato held Vash in a very strong embrace, afraid that he would slip away again. 'I..' he choked 'I missed you.. I missed you so much, Vash..' His calm appearance was completely gone, and he couldn't stand anymore, leaning to Vash. Vash just hugged him and whispered 'I missed you too Legato..'
'So, you must be Vash.' Vash heard a voice behind him. Legato looked up, and smiled, for as far as that was possible because he was still crying. Behind them stood a female angel, smiling. She was taller than Vash, having short purple hair and blue eyes. She looked a bit like Meryl, only with a friendlier face. She laid a hand on Legato's shoulder 'Did it all go well?' Legato nodded 'Yes..' he whispered 'They first didn't want to let him in.. they thought.. Vash the stampede.. but they agreed..' Legato was still shaking, just very shocked from finally seeing his lover again. When he thought about it, Vash never saw Legato show so much emotion before. The angel smiled. 'Good. Then I will leave you alone, I guess you have a lot to talk about..' Legato nodded. Before she left, she moved a hand over Vash' body and he was wearing some casual clothes, that looked a bit like those he liked to wear as Erics. 'Since you mortals love clothes so much..' she said, smiling as she walked away.
Legato took Vash' arm and walked away with him. He wiped away the tears, still sobbing a bit. 'Sorry..' he said 'But it's just.. I missed you.. and I can't believe you're finally here..' Vash smiled 'I'm here, Legato.. although I'm not sure what 'here' is..' Legato laughed. 'Here is Heaven. Wolfwood is here too, and Meryl, and Milly and..' 'And Knives?' Legato was silent. 'They're still thinking about him.. some want him in Hell for killing millions of people, torturing, thinking he is a God and things like that.. others believe he changed and want to give him a chance..' 'And you?' Vash asked. Legato was silent for a while, taking Vash to a beautiful place, on a cliff with a lake beneath, with swimming and playing kids in it. They sat down in the grass, leaning to a tree and each other.
'I don't know..' Legato whispered. 'I watched you, and I know he changed. Still.. I can't forget he raped and tortured me.. all the things he did.. I can't judge him for killing humans, I did the same, but they let me here because they said I was mentally sick, and that I couldn't help it.. ' 'Were they right?' Legato closed his eyes 'I don't know.. they proved that I was mentally disturbed, and pretty bad too, so bad that they couldn't completely heal me, but I did come to Knives of my own free will, and I did share his believes.. but well, I don't want to be in Hell, so you don't hear me complaining.' Vash nodded.
'Where was I?' the blonde asked. Legato smiled 'In a place everyone goes to. While they decide over you where you go, Heaven, Hell or Purgatory, you stay in Limbo, there are many souls there but you can't see them. Knives is there too. When they decided, an Angel of a Devil comes to get you.' 'Angel?' 'I know what you want to say' Legato laughed 'I'm not an angel. But I begged them to let me get you.. I was.. just so desperate to see you. And they agreed.. they gave me angelic powers, just for once. Not all angels agreed, but the most thought I could do it' Vash smiled. 'How long have you been in Limbo?' Legato sighed 'Long. Even though there isn't time there, it was.. long. But I wanted it that way. You don't have emotions, but it felt good anyway. Rest. Nothingness. The nothingness I wanted.' He yawned. Vash laughed 'are you tired?' 'Yes..' was the answer. Vash let his hand run to Legato's hair, who was resting his head in his lover's lap. 'Then sleep..' 'No..' he whispered 'I want to look at you.. be with you..' Vash smiled 'I'm with you. I'll always be with you, here..' Legato closed his eyes and whispered 'I love you..' and then fell asleep. Vash held his hand and smiled 'I love you too Legato..'
'He's here? Serious??' Meryl screamed in the angel's face, who laughed. 'Oh.. sorry.' The former insurance girl said. 'Yes he's here.' The angel answered. Meryl turned around, and screamed 'Nick! Milly!!!' The two came running to Meryl 'What?' 'Vash!' Meryl screamed, happiness in his voice 'Vash is here! Finally!' Milly began to do a weird little dance, and Nick only stared in shock 'Really? Needle noggin? Is he dead?' 'Yes!' Meryl laughed. The angel smiled 'He committed suicide.' Meryl stopped laughing and Milly stopped dancing. The three stared at the angel. 'S.. Suicide?' Meryl whispered. 'Yes.' The angel said. 'After Knives died, he couldn't take the loneliness anymore and shot himself with his own gun.' 'Wow..' Milly said. 'Where is he now?' was Nick's question. 'Legato went to get him in Limbo, so I guess he's with him.' They were even more silent now. 'Legato.' Nick said. 'We could've known that.. instead of taking him to us.. no, mister Bluesummers wants him all for himself.' 'I think he deserved that Nick.' The angel said. 'Legato's probably the unhappiest person in Heaven because he missed Vash so much. I think he deserves seeing him first.' Meryl sighed. 'You're probably right about that. But still.. do you know where he is now, the exact place I mean?' Even after her death Meryl stayed obsessed with facts, and wanted to know everything exact. The angel smiled 'Yes, but I suggest you let them alone now. They just need some time alone, Vash will come to you when he thinks he's ready. And that's the best for Legato too. We don't want him to be all depressed again, do we?' They shook their heads. 'No..' 'Then just wait' the angel said. 'He will come to you.' And then the angel flied away. The three friends sighed.
Legato opened his eyes. He saw his loves was asleep and smiled. He was just so happy Vash finally returned to him. Then, he heard a child voice 'Hi Legato!' Legato already knew who it was. 'Hello Roxanne.' He said. His baby sister, of nine years old with her blue eyes sparkling happy, and her black, curly hair(that seemed to be in the family: having weird kinds of hair and eye colours, or in a weird combination), sat next to him and looked at Vash. 'Who's that?' Legato smiled. 'That.. that's Vash.' Roxanne was silent for a while, staring at Vash. 'The Vash?' 'The Vash.' She gasped. 'Wow.. so. That's the guy who loves you..' Legato nodded. 'He looks nice' the girl said. Then she turned to Legato again 'Is that the guy you missed so much?' 'Yes..' Legato whispered. 'Oh. Then, are you happy now?' Legato laughed. 'Happier than ever, dear sister.'
Vash opened his eyes, and looked confused at the girl and Legato. Then, he smiled, thinking 'it wasn't a dream.. it's real.. everything's real..' Andante laughed 'You're so silly!' she said. Legato laughed too, looking at the sleepy Vash. 'Silly??' Vash said, in his trademark voice 'Me, silly? Nooooooo..' the girl couldn't stop laughing, especially when Vash did his love and peace sign 'what?? That's love and peace, that's a very serious business, little girl!' 'Stop..' she laughed 'stop it, I can't breath.. you.. you're so funny!' Vash laughed and putted his arms down, looking at the smiling Legato. How he missed being the silly Vash all those years.. Roxanne stopped laughing and looked at them. 'Who are you anyway?' Vash asked. 'That's my little sister, Vash.' Legato said. 'Roxanne.' Roxanne stood up and smiled 'that's me!'
'Your little sister?' Vash said 'I didn't know you had a sister..' Legato's smile disappeared 'she died when she was nine..' Vash looked at her, serious. 'Oh... I'm sorry for you..' she smiled 'don't be! Life here is much better than it was on Gunsmoke, right Legato?' Legato didn't answer, just stared at the sky. Roxanne laughed 'Oh brother.. you are way too serious, you know? Vash should teach you how to be silly!' Vash laughed, imagining Legato making the love and peace sign, eating donuts. Legato just smiled. 'Anyway!' Roxanne said. 'I'm going to mommy! Bye Leggy! Bye Vashie!' And she danced away from the lovers.
'What a girl..' Vash said. 'I know..' Legato whispered. 'She isn't always like that.. she's a lot like you, always pretending to be happy and silly, while she feels different..' Vash let his hand run through Legato's hair. 'Is your mother here too?' he asked. Legato stayed silent, then said 'Yes.. but that wasn't the person she meant. Our parents never loved us.. she means our adoptive parents we got after their death. They died a year after we met them..' Vash didn't say anything, just looked at Legato's face. He looked serious, obviously didn't like talking about his family. Vash changed position and took Legato in his arms 'Don't think about that anymore..' he whispered. 'I'm here.. we're together, finally. And we'll stay together, for all eternity. I love you..' Legato just nodded and closed his eyes 'I love you Vash..'
The lovers walked, with the sun setting behind them 'how is it possible that there's a sun here?' Vash asked. He didn't feel like talking, but there were just so many questions.. Legato sighed 'Because the people here want to.. there are other sections of Heaven where people don't have a sun, where it's just always light, but the people here wanted a world as much as possible like their own. I like it this way..' Vash nodded 'Where are we going?' Legato just smiled, mysteriously 'Home..'
They approached a nice, small house with a garden. Vash smiled 'it's nice. Do you live here alone?' Legato stopped walking. 'No. Just, walk on, you'll find her in the garden..' Curious as he was, Vash walked on. He heard a beautiful woman voice come from behind the house 'So. hitotsu-me no yoru ni. izuko kara koishi ga sekai ni ochiru.' He stopped walking, a shocked look on his face '..Rem?' he whispered.
From behind the house came a beautiful young woman, the wind toying with her long, black hair, flowers in her hand which she immediately dropped when she saw the blonde gunman 'Vash!' She ran to him, embraced him, tears flowing freely out her brown eyes. 'Vashie.. oh my little Vashie..' Vash could only stare, not believing he was finally with her again, the woman who he considered to be the most important person in his life, maybe even more important than Legato. 'Rem..' he whispered, then putted his arms around her. 'I..I..' 'Shh, Vashie..' she said, laughing. 'Oh, I missed you.. Vashie..' Legato just stood behind them, smiling. When they finally pulled away, Vash too had tears in his eyes. Rem took a good look at her boy 'You look so good, Vash! I'm so glad you're finally here..' Then, she looked at Legato 'Isn't it great, Legato?' he just nodded, afraid that he would cry if he said anything. Rem laughed 'Come.. we're going to the garden, I have some really nice strawberries there, have you ever eaten those Vash? I bet you'll like them!' She took the hands of the two men and danced with them to their house.
It was dark, Vash, Rem and Legato sat outside, talking. They had dinner a few hours ago, and never bothered to leave the table. Suddenly, Legato stood up from his chair 'I'm tired.' He said 'See you tomorrow..' Rem smiled. 'Sweet dreams, dear.' Legato just smiled, but Vash saw some pain in his eyes. Did he want the gunman to follow him? He would, but first he had some questions for Rem, some that he didn't want to ask when Legato was there. Rem looked at him, smiling. 'Say what you want, Vash.' Vash sighed 'What happened with Legato after he arrived here? He's so.. different than how I know him. He was always calm, never showing emotions, but now..' Rem laughed. 'Is that a bad thing? It just means he feels good being with you. But you are right, many things happened to him, and you were the cause of most of them.. he missed you so much, he couldn't enjoy his afterlife. He didn't want to meet anyone else, didn't want friends or love. He didn't want to know his adoptive parents anymore, not even his best friend, Midvalley.' Vash looked shocked 'what? Is Midvalley here?' Rem laughed 'Does that surprise you? He killed people, but so did Nicolas and Legato. Midvalley was a very nice person, who often helped the other Guns. He had a great love in his heart, and didn't kill that much people. But anyway.. Legato lived alone for a while, sitting most of the time on a cliff near a lake, staring at the sky, thinking or crying. One day, I went to him and we talked. About you. After a few weeks, he agreed to live with me so I could care for him. He finally agreed on the angels trying to cure him for his mental problems too. He didn't want that, don't know why, but it was very hard to. But I'll tell you about that later, or maybe Legato can do that himself. After all, we have all eternity!'
Vash nodded, and stood up. 'Just one thing' he said,looking at Rem 'How long did Legato stayed sad about me?' Rem sighed 'He always did. Even those last weeks he cried over you.. but if you mean how long he stayed alone, it was 70 years.' Vash couldn't believe what he just heard. 70 years? Legato stayed 70 years alone, not with anyone, just thinking and crying over him? Rem saw what he was thinking and said '70 years isn't much for eternity. But yes, it is very long. But part of him wanted it. the only thing Legato wanted when he was alive, was rest. Just being alone, with no one else who could hurt him, just rest. He had his 70 years of rest, and then he was ready to meet some people. Not all though, Legato is afraid of people. But again, I think he should tell you that himself.' Vash nodded 'Thanks, Rem' he said and walked to the house,looking for his lover.
He found Legato laying in a two person bed, with his eyes closed but obviously not sleeping. Vash crawled on the bed, and laid his hand on Legato's cheek, who slowly opened his eyes. 'I thought you forgot me..' he whispered. Vash laughed 'No, I just wanted to talk to Rem, that's all.' Legato shook his head, tears blinking in his eyes 'No.. I thought you forgot me. That you didn't recognise me after all those years..' Vash looked at his lover, disbelieve in his eyes 'What? Legato, no! I never forgot you, how could I! I.. I love you!' 'But.. but when you saw Rem.. you.. you looked so much happier than with me.. I.. I thought you.. you forgot me.' He sobbed. Vash took him in his arms, hugging his lover 'No, Legato.. I.. I was just very surprised to see Rem, here with you.. it's not that I forgot you, I couldn't forget you, not even if we were separated for 300 years!' Legato smiled and looked at Vash. Vash whispered 'I love you' and then kissed Legato.
Heaven waited long for this, the arrival of the Humanoid Typhoon, Vash the Stampede. He was finally here, taking a great burden from the shoulders of the angels who were afraid that the rest of a certain psychopath would be lost forever. Finally, they could say 'Heaven probably doesn't have any people who are happier than those two.'

Even those last weeks he cried over you.. but if you mean how long he stayed alone, it was 70 years.' Vash couldn't believe what he just heard. 70 years? Legato stayed 70 years alone, not with anyone, just thinking and crying over him? Rem saw what he was thinking and said '70 years isn't much for eternity. But yes, it is very long. But part of him wanted it. the only thing Legato wanted when he was alive, was rest. Just being alone, with no one else who could hurt him, just rest. He had his 70 years of rest, and then he was ready to meet some people. Not all though, Legato is afraid of people. But again, I think he should tell you that himself.' Vash nodded 'Thanks, Rem' he said and walked to the house,looking for his lover.
He found Legato laying in a two person bed, with his eyes closed but obviously not sleeping. Vash crawled on the bed, and laid his hand on Legato's cheek, who slowly opened his eyes. 'I thought you forgot me..' he whispered. Vash laughed 'No, I just wanted to talk to Rem, that's all.' Legato shook his head, tears blinking in his eyes 'No.. I thought you forgot me. That you didn't recognise me after all those years..' Vash looked at his lover, disbelieve in his eyes 'What? Legato, no! I never forgot you, how could I! I.. I love you!' 'But.. but when you saw Rem.. you.. you looked so much happier than with me.. I.. I thought you.. you forgot me.' He sobbed. Vash took him in his arms, hugging his lover 'No, Legato.. I.. I was just very surprised to see Rem, here with you.. it's not that I forgot you, I couldn't forget you, not even if we were separated for 300 years!' Legato smiled and looked at Vash. Vash whispered 'I love you' and then kissed Legato.
Heaven waited long for this, the arrival of the Humanoid Typhoon, Vash the Stampede. He was finally here, taking a great burden from the shoulders of the angels who were afraid that the rest of a certain psychopath would be lost forever. Finally, they could say 'Heaven probably doesn't have any people who are happier than those two.'
