"Hey, Vash, throw me that bag.."
"Okay, here.." Vash said as he Tossed a tan-coloured bag to Nick.
"Nick,..." Vash started.
"Yeah?"
"Don't you think we should leave this tent here? I mean..now that we have these new travellers with us..it might be a bit of dead weight.." Nick thought for a moment.
"But, won't we need somewhere to sleep at night? We can't just sleep out here in the desert.."
"No, It'll be okay. Nights around May City are alot warmer than anywhere else. It shouldn't be a problem." Vash said, grinning.
"Yeah, alright..I guess we can leave it here."
"Great. Now, then. We've got everything, so let's head out on our way, hm?"
"Right. I'll get Bridey. You get Aiko."
"Okay."
Vash slung a large black and blue bag over his shoulder and walked over to Aiko, who was sitting in the sand, drawing pictures with her finger. Vash bent down beside her and smiled warmly.
"Ready to go?" He asked as he extended a gloved hand. She looked up at him, nodded reluctantly, and took his hand.
' Thank you, big brother....' She thought.
"Hmm? You say something, Aiko?" Vash said.
"Ah!...No, no, I didn't..." Aiko stuttered as she looked down.
"Hm..well, I swear I heard you say thank y-"
"I didn't say anything!" She said, loudly, pulling her small hand from his.
"Oh, alright..then..." He stared at her, worriedly.
[Meanwhile]
"Bridey, come on! We have to go!"
"Arrrgh! Never! The sand-goddess will never surrender!" Bridey screamed as she threw sand in Nick's face and laughed hysterically.
"I do not have time for this! If you want to be left out in the deset again, to DIE, which is not good, I might add, then so be it! Otherwise, the sand-goddess will HAVE to go quietly!!" He shouted back.
"Augh, Nickie, you aren't much fun...don't be such a spoil-sport."
"I'm all for fun and games, little missy, but when It comes to surviving, I don't play around. Got that?"
Bridey pouted angrily and agreed to Nick's reason. She really didn't want to go anywhere, but Nick's company had been most enjoyable for her. She jumped up on Nick's back and yanked his Cross Punisher off of him.
"Ooooh, Nickie, look what I got 'ere!"
"GYAH! Bridey!!! Give it ba--hey, how the hell are you holding it up?"
"Hm? Why, is it..not...supposed to be held..or something?"
"No...it's just eh..you're...so..and...it's...ahhhh, never mind." Bridey gave him a confused look and began twirling the Punisher around as if it were a baton.
Over a sandy hill, The gunman appeared, walking slowly next to Aiko. Vash had his yellow-orange sunglasses on, and Aiko was wearing an old brown cloak that belonged to the Taller man.
"Hey! Vash! Ready to go?" Nick yelled, as he waved casually.
"Hm? Oh, yeah! All set here!" And with that, they left for May City.
x-20 iles later-x
"NIIICKIE!!"
"What, Bridey? WHAT NOW!?"
"You got any water left?"
"No, I just told you that a half an hour ago."
"Well...can we stop to rest? I'm bushed.."
"I...guess...."
The group of four sat down in the hot mid-day sand for a rest. Vash yawned and stretched out, leaning back. He looked into the horizon, and watched the setting suns. He smiled at the view and sighed heavily. He shut his eyes and felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked over to see Wolfwood smiling at him
"Beautiful sunset, isn't it?"
"Yeah....beautiful.." He grinned as a soft gust of wind blew across his face.
"Hey..wolfwood?" Vash said as he caressed the other man's hand with his own.
"Yes?"
"How long have wee been walking for?"
"About...five hours.."
"Hm..it seemed alot shorter than that.." The blonde man smiled and looked up at the Priest as he pushed himself closer, their lips touching. From a distance, Aiko watched this spectacle and felt her face heat up. She didn't know that....it was okay to do that...males kissing other males?
"Mmm...Vash..." Nick said, almost inaudibly.
"Come on...before the girls see us. They probably wouldn't understand."
"Right. Only 20 iles to go..."
Vash walked over to Aiko and bent down beside her, smiling softly.
"Ready to go, Aiko?"
"Y-yes.." She looked down at her feet and sighed.
"You know, you've been really silent this entire trip. What's wrong, hm?" Vash asked as he ran his fingers through the smaller girl's hair. She grabbed his hand and pushed it to the side.
"Nothing...It's nothing."
"Ah...Aiko.." Vash watched the girl as she got up and began to walk toward Bridey and Nick, who were already quarrelling over who should carry the cross punisher.
"I wonder if...she saw.." Vash frowned slightly and followed her. Soon, the four resumed their journey to May city.
