Hi! ..why is it that I don't have that many reviews? ;_; don't you people
like this story? *cries* aaw..well.. here's another chapter ^_^
4- Servants, Masters and Others
Knives fell to the ground, blood floating out of numerous wounds. He just lied there, still conscious but not able to get up. He felt a hard kick in his ribs 'get up!' someone said. The blonde plant tried to, but just fell over again, coughing up blood. 'Just.. 'he whimpered 'stop.. I.. I can't.. just stop.. just.. a few minutes..' It was silent for a while, Knives was crying of pain. How did it come so far? He heard a sigh 'Alright then' and strong arms lifted him up, until he was standing on his feet, legs trembling. 'You're not very strong' Lucifer said 'You tortured your servants in worse ways than this, and they took it.' With 'they' he meant Legato, and Knives knew that. Knives looked down, embarrassed 'But' the devil said 'You're getting better. Your powers are very strong, you're pretty good with a sword and really good with guns.. now the only thing we have to do is the magic part, which won't take long, and get you a bit more resistant. A large bit.' Knives nodded. He looked forward to being strong. 'How long will it take?' He couldn't wait to have his Eden. 'Depends on you, and on the third one. Though I expect he will learn quicker than you. He's better than you, in all ways.' That hit Knives. He always thought he was the best, the strongest.. 'I wonder who that perfect creature is..' he thought. He didn't see the devil smile.
3 weeks later..
Vash looked at Legato laying in his arms. His lover was asleep, which wasn't strange because it was night.. but Vash just couldn't sleep. He enjoyed watching Legato.. his lover was so.. perfect. Vash sighed, a happy sigh. He played with Legato's hair, and then, out off nothing, his brother crossed his mind. Where would Knives be? Still in Limbo? Or.. in Hell? He missed his brother, wanted to see him again.. he wanted to hold the sweet, loving creature that was his brother. His brother, who once was evil but now.. Vash smiled. How nice it was to know Knives would never do anything evil anymore.
A head of a demon rolled over the ground, soon joined with the blood of his companion. Knives delicately killed the demons with a sword, like he was a true samurai. When he finally stopped, the entire floor was covered with dead bodies and blood. The devil smiled, as he held a blood red ball in his hands, and placed it next to the other in the wall. 'Congratulations.' He walked to Knives, who was standing tall despite of his wounds. He smiled a dangerous smile. 'Now..' Lucifer said. 'Let me tell you who is the third.. then.. let's get him.'
Vash pulled away from Legato, breaking their kiss. 'I'm sorry dear..' he whispered, as Legato protested by kissing again and again. 'I have to.. go.. Nick is waiting..' 'Screw Nick' Legato said and kissed Vash again, who returned first, but then strongly pushed him away. Legato looked at him with some sadness in his eyes, knowing Vash couldn't say no when he looked like that. Vash whined a little, then kissed him one more time, and ran away, leaving his lover behind.
Vash ran away, not looking back. He was already late, and he was too afraid he would stay if he saw his lover.. after a while, he stood still, realising he didn't know where he was. Even after almost a month, he had no clue where everything in heaven was, except for Legato's place with the lake, his own house and that of Nick, Milly and Meryl.
He looked left: only grass. In the distance, there were houses but he didn't feel like walking over there. On his right, there was a small path, so he decided to follow it. After a while, he reached a strange building. It was entirely white and light purple, and looked kind of like the 'hospital' where people who experienced mental shocks recovered. He asked Legato once if he didn't want to go there, but Legato refused. 'Hello?' he asked. No answer. He pushed the door, and noticed it was unlocked, so he went in. Inside, everything was so bright he had to close his eyes for a minute. He saw a long row of small tables, with glass around it, so you couldn't reach what was standing on that tables: strange, glowing balls, mostly purple, some red. He walked to one of them, and looked at a card that was on the glass: 'Peter Theresi, died 156-Gunsmoke' Peter? Vash remembered him.. he looked at the ball on Peter's table, it was purple, faint red. He looked to the right: those walls became smaller and a light shade of purple, while those on the other side were bigger and a darker shade of purple, with that red in it.. He followed that row, and saw some familiar names.. Monev the Gale.. and some others of the Gun-Ho Guns. Suddenly, he had to close his eyes because of a flashing dark red light. He walked towards it, and saw at the end of the row, an enormous dark red ball, almost black. 'Wow..' he murmured, then he looked at the card.
'Legato Bluesummers, died 132-Gunsmoke'
'Legato?' he whispered 'What is this?' Suddenly, he felt someone hold him and take him away from the ball. He wanted to scream, but felt the warmth he had only felt when Legato got him from Limbo.. was this an Angel? His guess was correct, because when they were at the middle of the row again, and Vash looked at the creature that held him, he recognised the angel that he saw on his first day in Heaven. She smiled and said 'That's better. I'm sorry for pulling you away like that, but standing that close to the balls is extremely dangerous for not angels.' 'What is it?' Vash asked. The angel looked at the row with a sad look in her eyes 'this.. this is where all the disturbed minds go. Before they can rest, we take out the disease from those who are mentally disturbed. With some, that is very little, light purple and small. And others..' Vash looked at the row with the dark balls 'Was.. was Legato that bad?' The angel nodded 'We were afraid of it.. those who come before them, are his parents. They were very disturbed too, so we were very afraid of what their child would be like.. fortunately, there was nothing wrong with Roxanne.. but Legato..' Vash swallowed as he thought of what his lover had gone through.
'Legato was very sick, from his birth to his death' the smooth voice of the angel continued 'he heard and saw things, he couldn't separate reality from dreams, or more from nightmares, since he rarely had nice dreams. Because of his mental illness, his body was very weak too. But don't underestimate him, Vash. Legato is a very brave and strong person, with the help of Knives, he could use that illness inside him to control people. When he did that, he didn't feel so much pain from the disease anymore. So, his powers were both good and bad for him. You may think it is a shame he died so young, but he wouldn't have gotten old anyway. His mind overtook his body, wanted more and more. And the stronger his powers became, the stronger the disease became. And when he felt hurt from the disease, he had to get stronger to beat it, and so fort.. at some point, his body would simply not be able to hold on anymore, and he would lose everything. The powers would be gone, and the disease would be stronger than ever, making his body so weak, he would eventually die. This was already happening when he was killed by Knives.. so, death was truly a blessing for him. It saved him from a lot of pain.'
Vash was silent for a while, thinking of what he heard. He never knew that.. he never knew his lover had been in so much pain.. constantly fighting himself.. he always thought Legato wanted to die because of Knives. Then, something occurred to him 'But..' he whispered 'I thought Legato didn't want you to cure him when he got here?' The angel hung her head sadly. 'Yes, that is true. Legato thought the disease belonged to him, was a part of him. He wanted to think and rest, but didn't know he couldn't rest until we got that out of him. After a while, seventy years, Rem convinced him to let us help him. She was just in time, because we weren't sure if we could remove it.. after being in there for so long.. I don't know how he could stand that, he must have felt so much pain.. we often watched him, then he was staring, with dead eyes, or he was crying. But when he tried to come close, he screamed and told us to stay away. We didn't want to force him, as that would be even more painful.. unfortunately, we couldn't remove all of the disease.' Vash looked at her, shocked 'You mean.. that isn't all??'
She shook her head 'some of it is still in there, mainly the part which made his body so weak. Because he doesn't have his powers anymore, he is pretty weak now.. I guess you noticed that.' Vash nodded, remembering how much pain Legato had had from his hold, and how tired he always was.. he couldn't mention one moment when Legato wasn't tired. 'It..' Vash whispered 'is hard sometimes.. to have a lover who was, and still is, in so much pain.. to have a disturbed lover. Sometimes, I just don't know what to do.. how to comfort him.' The angel smiled 'you make him happy, truly happy. He forgets his misery and constant pain when he is with you. Just be sure to not let anything happen to him, to make him feel safe. Because after a life of abuse and pain, all he wants is to be safe, and to be cared for. If you just remember that, you're doing all you can.' Vash nodded and smiled 'I will. Nothing will ever, every happen to him..he's safe.'
Legato walked. He didn't know where he was going, he just wanted to walk, feel the grass brush his feet, feel the sun on his face.. he sighed as he thought of Vash. Vash.. his sweetie. He laughed softly, then sat down, feeling a bit tired from the walking. He hated that, constant being tired.. he wanted to do so much, with Vash.. have fun.. but everytime, he was tired after doing a simple thing. 'I hate it' he whispered, and felt tears burning in his eyes. He hated that too. Being sad.. about nothing. Sometimes he wished he could be like before. Sure, he was ill, abused, raped, a slave.. but he was powerful. People were afraid of him. Now, they were just sorry for him..
Suddenly, he felt cold. He looked around him, surprised. It was unusual for Heaven to be cold.. then, he saw a flashing light in the distance, and he stood up and walked to it, curious. The light jumped from the trees and plants, almost like a little elf. He began to run as it went faster, but suddenly, it stopped and grew bigger. Legato wanted to cover his eyes, but noticed he wasn't able to, and began to panic a bit. The light went brighter, and brighter, along with a high scream, making Legato's ears hurt. Then, he felt someone grab him, and take him to the light.. a moment of pain and the light went out as everything was black around him..
Cliffhangeeeeeer! I am SO evil. *Laughs* anyway, I'll try to write a new chapter soon..and..please review? Please?^_^
