Author's note: I don't own Trigun or any of its characters. I do however
own Denisuko Mariko Strife, and Legacy Regina Bluesummers. I don't own
Slash the Stampede, or Alex Bluesummers, because they are the creations of
ARC, who is a good friend of mine. That being said, enjoy the story.
Rated PG-13 for language and violence.
Translations: Oro: huh? Denisuko uses this word a lot in the story. Nani: What? Tongari: Airhead; what Wolfwood calls Vash in the series. Denisuko sometimes calls herself Tongari if she thinks she messed up big time.
Key: //Insert thought\\: thoughts directed from the person speaking. ~*Insert scene*~: flashback mode [Insert thought]: Thoughts that go from Denisuko to Vash or vice versa. Denisuko and Vash have a telepathic link between them. Neither one realizes this until a certain scene in the story. *Insert sound*: any sounds
Trigun: Open Sky
Chapter One: Chance Meeting
Denisuko Strife sighed. It had been a week of riding from her mother's house in the city of September, to her so-called Aunt Milly's house in December. Denisuko yawned and reached into her coat for a package. When she felt the box beneath her fingers, she smiled a little. //Good. They're still safe. \\ "Denisuko?" Meryl looked at her daughter, who jumped slightly. Meryl couldn't help but smile at the confused look on her daughter's face, which reminded Meryl of Vash in so many ways. "Oro?" Denisuko blinked at her mother. As much as people didn't believe that Denisuko was Meryl's daughter, when she gave a person a piercing look, there wasn't any doubt. "We're here." Meryl watched with a small chuckle as Denisuko hopped off of her Thomas and ran into the house with a shout. "Aunt Milly! We're here!" Milly was slightly startled to find the tall blonde girl tearing into the house. Her surprise quickly turned to glee as she hugged her "niece". Meryl couldn't help but notice that Denisuko had a tendency to resemble Milly at some points, herself at others, and Vash at still other points. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Denisuko was tall. At 5'8", she was only a little shorter than Milly. Denisuko's hair had a tendency to be blondish-brown most of the time, but at times it seemed almost golden. //Like Vash's. \\ Meryl thought to herself. "Hey, shouldn't we be unpacking now?" Denisuko's eyes widened and she quickly ran out and grabbed the bags without any help. About two hours later, Denisuko stretched a little and glanced at her mother. "So.can I mom?" Meryl nodded at Denisuko, knowing full well that if she had refused, Denisuko would just ask Milly, who would let her go. One of Denisuko's favorite things to do was to cliff scale and repel off of the cliffs near Milly's house. Meryl knew she shouldn't worry, mainly because she herself had taken Denisuko climbing several times when she was younger, and had instilled in the child a sense of safety and appreciation for nature. "Have fun Denisuko!"
"I will!"
"Be back before the second sun sets, okay?" "Alright!" The door shut quickly behind Denisuko with aloud *Crash* Meryl sighed and went back to having tea and coffee with Milly. About an hour later, Denisuko took a break on a level area of the cliff, only to discover that she wasn't alone. A blonde man was sitting on one of the rocks, watching the town. Denisuko walked over to the man and waved. "Hello." The man smiled a little from behind a pair of glasses. He was wearing a pair of brown slacks and a dress shirt. "Hello there, young lady. What brings someone like you out this far on the rocks?" Denisuko smiled back. "Trying to reach Heaven.or Eden.whichever one is closest." The man chuckled a little. Denisuko stretched a little and grinned. "Well, I'd better get going if I want to get to the top before the first sun sets." With that, Denisuko resumed her climb. Little did she know that she was being watched by not only the gentleman, but by two pairs of unfriendly eyes. Two more pairs of eyes watched the scene before them unfold. When she reached the top, her eyes widened in shock as she was roughly grabbed and pulled up. The bounty hunters smirked at her fear. The one who had grabbed Denisuko smirked even more. "Well, lookie what we got here.seems as though the $$60,000,000,000 woman is a cliff scalar.and pretty damn good-looking as well." his partner snickered a little. "Nah, she's just a scrawny thing. She's not at all like I imagined her. She's not worth the trouble of bringing in. Let's just get rid of her. I hear that there's an even bigger bounty on Leg-ack!" The second man managed to squeak as Denisuko kicked him in between the legs. The first bounty hunter wasn't amused, and quickly threw Denisuko off of the cliff in case she had tried to do to him what his partner had had done to him. Denisuko clung to the edge of the cliff, holding on for dear life. One pair of aqua eyes watched with concern as the girl began to slip off of the cliff face. //what a way to go. if the fall doesn't kill me. \\ [Mom will.] The gentleman stood up and frowned. He had heard someone distinctly say "Mom will." but the only person who could have said it was busy trying to keep her grip on the cliff. Suddenly, the girl's hands lost contact with the cliff face, and she began to fall backwards. Denisuko saw her short life beginning to flash before her eyes as gravity took over. Suddenly, there was no more wind, but the feeling of someone's arms around her. She blinked in confusion until she looked up at her savior. The gentleman from earlier held onto her until she spoke up. "umm.you can set me down any time soon." The gentleman blushed a little and carefully set Denisuko down. Just as she was about to say something to her savior, the sounds of a scuffle could be heard above them. They both looked up at the same time. "ORO?! NANI?!" They both spoke at the same time. A couple of seconds later, a blue-haired woman stuck her head over the edge with a grin. "Hey down there! Is everyone alright?" The gentleman and Denisuko both nodded. The woman smiled "That's great!" She vanished from site and another woman took her place. "Sorry about the ruckus. But Leggy and I had to clean up the riff- raff." The second woman frowned as a shout from her friend caught her attention. "Umm.Later!" The second woman vanished as well. "Well.that was odd." Denisuko glanced at the gentleman, who nodded. "Yeah." Denisuko realized something. "Know what? I was just about to thank you.and I don't even know your name!" The gentleman blushed a little. "Just call me Eriks."[And hopefully she won't find out about my past as Vash the Stampede.I don't think I could bear it if Meryl found out.] Denisuko nodded. "Well, Mr. Eriks, thank you for.." Denisuko smirked a little. "Don't worry. I have no intention of telling my mother who you really are Vash." Vash's jaw dropped. "H.How did you?!" Denisuko shrugged. "I dunno."
OOO.cliffhanger. *Grins* okay. I'm doing something I've never done before, and that is provide an afterthought! . Okay. I'm gonna ask that you don't flame me, just because I put myself into the story. I did that with Celestial Waltz with Kureneko and if I get flamed for that, tough. Oh, and if you like the story, even if you didn't.please review! It helps me to learn what things I can do differently!
