Part 13- The new arm
((Hakura's POV.))
Two weeks of doing nothing. Two weeks of sitting still. Two weeks of GOING INSANE!
"IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING QUICK I'M GOING TO GO INSANE!!" I yelled, grabbed the sides of my head with my hands.
Wolfwood patted my back to calm my down. "It's alright needle-nose! If you're really that bored, let's go have ourselves a drink."
Meryl gave us the evil eye. Both of us gulped.
"Umm bad idea Wolfwood.." I said to him.
"I agree.. then I guess, we can always go check on how far your arm is coming along." Wolfwood said.
"Good idea. You want to come too Insurance girls?" I asked them.
"I have to write the company report about the damages you caused in the hotel room.." She said, her left eye twitching.
I gulped again. "Ok.. How about you Milly?"
"I would love to go.. but I have to help Meryl sort through some of the company papers." She answered back, still not letting work take away her cheerful smile.
"Ok then." I said, waving good-bye to them.
Wolfwood and I walked down the road together. He was carring his cross over his shoulder. A cig. in his mouth as usual. His sunglasses placed over his eyes. His right hand which wasn't carring the cross was in his pocket.
I glanced down the road. We all decided to stay close to where the doc worked. Well, I kinda decided we should stay by his place. I couldn't wait to get my new arm! What really concerned me was the fact that Ace was out there looking for me. He wasn't that hard to get around, but he certainly was going to be more prepared this time. He saw how I dodged the bullets. there was a good chance he was going to be more prepared for me this time.
I sighed. Heavy thoughts like that wore me out. I was hardly ever serious anymore. I couldn't take the strain of it! To me, serious is something that only comes around when you can't have a good time and get too caught up in life.
We reached the Doc's place before I reliezed it. Wolfwood had to snap his fingers in front of my face before I snapped back to the real world. I knocked on the door, which swung open as soon as I did.
The Doc looked at us, grinning ear to ear. He had bags under his eyes showing he was working harder then usual for me. His eyes themselves looked worn out from all the work. His skin was pale, compaired to what it was when we first meet.
"I have a surprise for you." he said in a cheerful voice.
I smiled down at him. "You've been working yourself too hard."
"Non sence boy! I'm fine! I haven't felt more alive in a long time." He said with a chuckle at the end of his sentence. He really was in high spirtes.
We walked in and sat down in the living room. Little Fluffy had been spending a lot of time over at the Doc's as of lately. The Doc enjoyed little Fluffy's company. Liffy Fluffy barely stirred from his sleep on the table from the sudden noise.
"Here you go." He said, holding out a breifcase to me.
I took it into my lap and opened it. It was an arm! A brand new arm! It looked very high tech. Wires connected to each other and looks of little microchips inside. You could barely hear the humming of the circuts working together. It was covered from the wrist to the fingers in a fake plastic skin. I turned the arm over. You could barely make out a gun inside of there. My eyes widen. It was a machine gun inside!
"I see you like the gun. It can fire up to four rounds in under a minute! One of my greatest works yet." The doc said, smiling at me.
"It's great! You must have worked hard on it for it to be working like this in such a short time." I said, in a chipper voice. This was the best thing in the world to me! It was a new arm!
"Let me put it on for you." The Doc said, walking over to me to attach the arm to my shoulder.
"So, what you're saying is it's going to be better then Needle-noggin's arm?" Wolfwood questioned. We knew by now when he said 'Needle-noggin' he ment my Father.
"That's correct. It will work just as good as his old arm. But, it will hold more strength in it and more indurence then his old arm. Also, it has a gun inside of it. I thought you could really use it." He said, grinning at me as he placed the arm on by stub.
"That's great news! You're the best Doc." I said, smiling at him.
"Thank you Hakura." He answered as he finished his work on my arm. "It should work now."
I started to move it around to test it out. I moved the fingers first, then the elbow. Everything seemed to be working just fine.
"Try to move each finger by itself." The doc ordered.
I tried, but sometimes it would move two at a time instead of just one. It didn't bother me at all. Atleast I could move it! That was good enough for me. It felt weird having a metal arm. I felt like I was part robot or something. Though, I am half Plant.. so technically.. I kinda am part robot already..
I shook my head of my thoughts.
"mmm.. Try to bring the gun out." He said.
"Alright." I answered, concentraiting on brining out the gun. I narrowed my eyes a little, thinking out it. Nothing happened. "Doc. It's not working."
"Well, try to move it like you were moving part of your body." He suggested.
Wolfwood was watching us intently. He didn't bother to talk at all, just watched.
"I'll try." I said. I thought of it like a limb. So, I tried to move it like that. It moved! My arm opened up and out popped the gun. My hand moved below my arm, and held onto the trigger. I did it!
"Very good. Now, try to put it back." He said.
I tried to put it back, but before I could I sneezed.

Ace's POV
******
I looked out of my hotel room. I reached the town of Piliot already and had been waiting for tha coward Vash the Stampede to show up. I sat down in a chair near the window. I polished my brand new gun. It was faster at firing and could hold more bullets. I put the clip inside of it, then put it in it's hoster.
I stood up and strapped the hoster on my belt. I glared out the window.
"If you don't come soon Vash, I will chase after you! You Coward!" I yelled out the window.
******
Hakura's POV
******
"ah ah... sorry!" I said, rubbing the back of my head.
Wolfwood and the Doc popped their heads up form behind the flipped over sofa. The whole place was a wreak! When I sneezed I pulled the trigger. Let's just say.. all hell broke loose after that.
Papers floated down to the ground with bullet holes through them. The ceiling fan fell from the ceiling. Little fluffy didn't move but was now staring at me. His eyes seemed to say 'You Baka.'
I blushed in embrassment. "I'll clean it up!"
"NO! No.. It's ok Hakura. I'll just clean up." The Doc said, getting up. "Please.. put the gun away."
"Alright.." I said, putting it away. "I'm really, REALLY sorry Doc!"
"It's alright. Just.. just leave. I'll get it all cleaned up." He said with a smile. "I needed to throw some things out anyways."
"Ok.." I answered, walking out. Wolfwood followed me, then smacked me upside my head.
"You damned Needle-nose! You could have killed somone you know that!" He yelled at me.
"I said I was sorry!" I answered back, rubbing the back of my head.
"I should hurt you really badly for that one Needle-nose." He continued, bringing out another crooket cig. from his jacket and putting it into his mouth. He lite it up and took a deep breath.
"Can't I make one mistake? It was by complete accident!" I said in a whinning voice.
Wolfwood smacked me again. "Just Shut up Needle-nose!"
I stuffed my hands into my pockets and looked away. "Yeah.. ok."
