Part 9- Never call me Old man
((Hakura's POV.))
Walking was a real drag. Trugging through the open flames of desert land with the sun right on your back, glaring down at you was no way to start an adventure. Sand was everywhere. It was in my shoes, kicked up in my eyes, up my nose and in my ear. And please don't ask how that one happened.
My shoulder were slumped and I felt like I was going to die of thrist. It felt like I was an ice cube stuck on the sun's surface! Quickly melting away into a puddle, which soon drys up like everything else on this dead planet.
I looked over at Wolfwood. He was fairing a little better then I was. His shoulders slumped and sweat stains under his arm and all across his back. He was still carring the huge cross and refused to let anyone else carry it but him. His legs just barely lifting off the ground and being pushed to go foward. Each step as hard as the last one, if not harder.
I knew his pain. I turned back to look in head of us. A small town with a bus station there was in head of us. You could barely make out the town. That is, it could be the town, or just the desert playing tricks on my mind.
I turned and looked over my shoulder. Meryl and Milly were on thomas'. Both girls looking just as tired and thristy as we were. Meryl was slumped in the saddle and looked as though she was about to fall off.
Milly was doing better. She still has a bit of her cheerful smile still on her face. She has ditched the top layer of her outfit and folded it, then placed it in the bag attached to the Thomas saddle.
I turned and looked in head of us. I could feel my legs almost giving out. I pushed them further and harder then before. Town wasn't too far away! It was just a couple Iles away. There was water and food and Donuts there!
With the thought of Donuts on my mind, my stomache growled. I looked down at it and glared.
'This is no time to be hungry!' I thought to myself, almost warning my belly to be quiet!
"Don't tell me you're hungry Needle-nose." Wolfwood said, looking over at me.
"So what if I am? I haven't eaten after I threw-up all of my breakfast." I answered him.
"It's your own fault for drinking so much!" Meryl scolded at both of us.
"Yes Ma'am!" Wolfwood and I called back to her in a military style. We both grinned at each other.
"Men!" She huffed, turning her attention back to the path in head of her.
"Well, if you two are hungry, we could always eat out emergancy supply!" Milly offered, holding out a box of food.
"Oh yeah!" I said, grabbing the box and starting to take somethings from it.
"Hey! Those are only for emergancies!" Meryl said.
"This is! I'm hungry!" I said through a donut, which I found somewhere in the box full of all kinds of foods.
She shook her head at me.
We never stopped to do anything. We continued to walk no matter what. Even while Wolfwood and I ate, we didn't stop. Once we both had our fill, we handed it back to Milly who put it away with the rest of the junk on the Thomas pack.
"That was good!" I answered, rubbing my swollen belly.
"It better have been! That was our last bit of food until we get to the next town." Meryl said, nearly growly it out.
"We left some!" I complained.
"You left four cookies, two sandwitches and a half of a cup cake." She said.
"We still have more sandwitches?!" I asked, going back for the box. Meryl smacked me away.
"No! You're not getting anymore!" She warned.
"Ok.." I answered in a pouting way.
We continued going until we finally reached the city.
**********
Ace packed up his food packs and water containers. He pulled out his favorite knife and hide it up his sleeve. He re-loaded his gun and slung it over his shoulder. Then grabbed his bag. He put it over his shoulder too. He turned to the door out of his room. His eyes swept the room one more time.
'Soon, I'll be able to rest here forever without worring about war or money.' He thought to himself.
He walked out of the room and faced his Grandma. He gave a gentle smile to her. She smiled back.
"You be careful." She said, hugging him tightly.
"I will Grams. Promise." He said.
"Promise me, you'll come back this time. After this is all through, you'll come back to me." She asked, tears brimming her eyes. Worry, fear, sadness all mixed in her eyes.
"I promise Grams. And I never brake a promise." He said, with a loop-sided grin.
"You never do. Good luck." She said.
"Thanks." He said before leaving the house. He walked to the edge of town without looking back at the town. He stared up at the suns burning in the sky.
'I'm coming for you Vash the Stampede. You'd better be ready for me.'
************
"GAH! I'M ALIVE AGAIN!" I shouted as I drank a tall glass of water. We finally reached the town. The suns didn't seem so bright here.
The building we were in was cooled and shaded. The people seemed a bit more friendly then usual. I smiled at them.
"Thank you very much for the water." I said, nodding at the tender.
"Hey, You're payin' for it. You want another one?" He asked me, as he washed a glass.
"Sure." I answered. The man filled up my glass. I quickly drained that glass too.
I looked over at my company. They were also enjoying glasses of water. I walked over to the table they were at and sat down.
"We should be going pretty soon. I'd like the get an arm as soon as possible if you three don't mind." I said to them.
I could see Meryl grimance at that. Milly's every lasting smile dropped a little at that coment. And Wolfwood just took a drag.
"Of course. I'll go see what time the bus for the town we are going to is leaving." Meryl said, getting up and walked over to the bus station.
Milly got up and walked after her. "Wait Meryl! I'm going to go with you."
I glanced over at Woflwood. He was leaning back in his chair with a cig. in his mouth. His sun glasses were on and his chair was leaning back, only on the back legs.
"Hey Woflwood?" I suddenlyed said.
"What Needle-nose?" He asked.
"When are you and Milly going to tie the knot?" I asked.
Wolfwood nearly swolloed his cig! He fell backwards in his chair, hitting the ground with a crack and a thud. I leaned over the table to look at him. His sunglasses fell to the bridge of his nose and his eyes were wide. Everyone around us, looked down at Wolfwood.
Wolfwood quickly fixed himself and sat back down.
"What kind of question is that?!" He yelled at me.
"Umm.. a good one?" I questioned, not sure what he meant.
I could almost hear him growl at me. "DOn't stick your nose in my business Needle-nose!"
"Man... sorry I asked." I said, crossing my arms and tring to icnore him now. I looked around the quiet building. Some people were playing cards just a few tables away from us. A few men were sitting down at a table talking and drinking away.
The thought of beer stuck in my head. It made me want to throw up again! I quickly covered my mouth to prevent that from happening. I turned my attention away from them and onto the windows. I could see the streets even though the blinds were partly closed. People walking happily by this place, going to their respected homes or shops.
It was a peacful place. Nothing bad could go on around here.
**BOOM!**
The ground shook and tables along with chairs were tipped from the shaking. Wolfwood and I looked at each other, before running outside to see what happened. We ran down the streets, seeing people running the opposite direction we were heading in.
We made it to the place where the explodion happened. There was a group of men, theivies no doubt, robbing an armored car.
"Hey Needle-nose. How many can you take out right now in your condition?" He asked me.
"'Bout half. Maybe all at most." I said, grinning at him.
"Shove it Needle-nose. I'm taking Half and you take the other half." He said.
"But what half do I take?"
"The side you're standing across from Needle-nose!"
"But what if one of my guys, go to your side, or one of your guys go to my side?!"
"Then shot 'em!"
"Who? The guy who walked over to your side or the one-" But I was cut off by Wolfwood hitting me upside the head.
"SHUT UP NEEDLE-NOSE!" He shouted in my ear. "Take out whoever you can get, got it?"
"Yeah..." I said, rubbing my poor ear. It was still ringing! I pulled out my Colt and Wolfwood pulled out his Cross. He flipped the cover off and grabbed two guns.
"Let's go Needle-nose." He said, only glancing over at me.
"Yeah. But don't kill anyone." I answered. We both run out of our cover and started shooting.
A bullet whizzed by my ear, almost hitting me as soon as I came out. They have some seriously good aim! Along with five times the amont fire power we had.
I aimed my gun at the strap of the huge gun one guy had over his shoulder. I hit the straps and the gun fell off, hitting three men as it went, knocking them out. I aimed my gun up and shot one guy in the shoulder. He fell to the ground.
I ran behind a pillar. I hit the ammo button, and the empty shells fell out. I pulled out another pack, and put it in. I flipped the barrel closed and came out of hiding, sorta speak.
I hit a few more people, but there was only a few more to hit. Wolfwood had shot just about everyone. Someone was very trigger happy today.
"Did you really have to shot them all like that?" I asked him as he put away his guns.
"What did you expect me to do? Let them shot me?" He asked.
"No! But you could have just knocked their guns away or something. You're a preist! You're not supposed to shot people like that."
"You sound way to much like your old man kid. Besides, we have to get back to the girls before we get another ear full for shooting all these people." Wolfwood advised before putting his cross over his shoulder and walking back to the dinner we were just at.
"You're right about that one, but next time-" He cut me off in mid sentence.
"Next time, YOU take care of your guys and I'll take care of MINE. I know what I'm doing Needle-nose." He said, pulling out a cig. and smoking it.
"Ok, Mr. King of the world." I said, rolling my eyes.
"That's right and don't you ever forget it." He said, walking into the dinner.
"Whatever, old man."
"What did you call me Needle-nose?!" He asked, turning around.
"What, Old man?" I said, snickering.
"Don't you EVER call me old man."
"Why not Old man?"
"That does it." He said, jumping over to me, hitting me in the face. He didn't put all his force into it. It was more of a friendly punch then anything.
I turned to him and grinned. "Old man!" Then, stuck out my tongue as I ran from him. Wolfwood chased after me, threating to kill me when he caught up. I just grinned and kept calling him old man as I ran away from him.
We pasted by Meryl and Milly on the way. Meryl just shook her head. Milly cheerfully smiled and waved at us as we ran by.
"What a pair of idiots!" Meryl exclaimed.

::grins::
Someone asked a very good question in a review! Why is it, that this fic, a very well written ((in my opionon that is)) fic, doesn't have that many reviews, but my half-assed fic 'A 120,000,000,000 couple' has 48 reviews?!?
I know, I have been asking that question a lot too. I've gotten flamed for this story, yet no one flamed me ((that I know of)) on my half-assed fic with tons of spelling errors and very bad grammer!
::starts to pull out her own hair, then notices what she is doing and calmly goes back to typing:: **clears throat**
Anywho, I've been working on drawling a lot lately. They relax me in some weird way. So, I drew a few scenes from here. I drew Ace, and I drew Hakura and Wolfwood drunk, hanging on each other's shoulders for support. and they are both smiling like the Bakas' they really are! ((I LOVE that pic!))
So, if you want the link to those pictures, E-MAIL ME FOR GOD SAKES!
**clears throat again** umm.. yeah.. Well, also, please review! I love reading reviews! I read them a million times, just going over, and over, and over, and over... re-reading all of them. ^_^ Thank you all reviews who reviewed my story!
