AN: Whee! Third chapter! Hopefully, this one goes easier than my CWWKN
third chapter does.I'm still writing it. and fighting writer's block.
anyhoo. The last chapter might not have made much sense.but I'll get around
to explaining stuff.eventually.I hope.oh, and expect a twist in the
plot.not gonna say more than that. ^_~ Oh, and the reason this took so
long to post was due to the fact that I was grounded from the computer and
the internet at my house.*gives her parents dirty looks* bakayarous.

Chapter Three: The Turn of the Wheel (cheesy, yes I know.)
Three months had passed since Mark Eriks had joined the household, and they were the best three months of Meryl's life. Denisuko seemed to learn better from him than she had when Milly and Meryl had tried to teach her. In turn, Mark seemed to relax a little more.at least as long as Denisuko didn't take him out to the cliffs for rappelling.
One thing Meryl never fully understood was why Denisuko tried so hard to win Mark over. She assumed it had something to do with the fact that Mark was the only father figure in Denisuko's life.
Elsewhere, Legacy sighed. Seven months had passed by in the blink of an eye, and it was time for one of her "charges" to be going. She waited until he was almost out the door before making her move. She handed him a set of keys and pointed to the garage.
"If it breaks down near here, just bring it in and I'll fix it for you. Oh, and try not to get yourself hurt again." The man nodded silently, smiled, and then went off into the night.
Daybreak brought the man to the city of December. He looked around at the familiar town and smiled. It was good to be back.
"Denisuko! Wait for me!" A loud voice shouted, startling the man out of his wits.
"Sorry Aunt Milly." The second voice belonged to a tall blonde, who obviously hadn't meant to separate from the first voice. The man watched as an even taller brunette caught up with the blonde and the pair resumed their walk towards the grocery store.
The man chose that moment to step out of the shadows in front of the pair, causing the blonde to move into a fighting stance. The brunette's eyes widened and she whispered, "I really wish the ground wasn't so hard." and fainted. The man moved quickly and caught the woman.
"Aunt Milly?!" The blonde moved quickly and smacked the man away. "Aunt Milly?! Are you alright?! Answer me!" the blonde glared at the man from behind her yellow sunglasses. "This is all your fault!" She gently set Milly down on the ground and tackled the man, surprising him with her strength.
"ACK!" the man quickly restrained the girl.
"Bakayarou!" the girl growled as she tried to break free of the man's grip. A soft moan quickly put an end to their fight as Milly came to.
"Owww.my head hurts." Denisuko and the man both blinked and started talking at the same time.
"Aunt Milly!" The man glared at Denisuko with steely blue eyes
"Are you alright, Milly?" Denisuko glared back at the man as her sunglasses slid down her nose, her aqua eyes flashing a warning. The man took a step back in disbelief.
"Va. Va.Vash?!" Denisuko blinked in confusion. Milly quickly latched herself onto the man, causing a bit of a scene in which there was a lot of shouting and confusion.
Twenty Iles(yes, that's how it's spelled in Japan) away, Vash was busy sorting through his paperwork. He let out a frustrated sigh, and then jumped when Meryl walked into the room.
"Is something wrong Mark?" Vash nodded.
"Yeah. I need a certain book for the lesson tomorrow, and I don't seem to have it with me.hopefully I can find it before I need it.but if I can't, I'll have to postpone the lesson I had in mind until later." Meryl smiled a little bit.
"I saw Denisuko in here earlier, taking notes on what you would be needing. More than likely, she noticed that you were planning something and wrote down what you'd need for the lesson." Vash smiled and nodded at Meryl.
"Yeah.you're right. Denisuko is a brilliant girl.she probably already ordered the books I need." Meryl smiled a little bit. Vash smiled back, and let out another sigh, startling Meryl slightly.
"Mark? What's wrong this time?" Meryl's lavender eyes showed a lot of concern and worry. Vash smiled slightly.
"I'm going to be honest.but I don't want you getting mad at Denisuko or myself for what I'm about to tell you.and please, don't hurt me for what I'm about to do." with that, Vash leaned in and kissed Meryl on the lips, surprising the short woman. Meryl took a step back.
"What the hell." Meryl's eyes widened as she made the connection. "I really, really wish the floor wasn't so hard." with that, she fainted, and Vash quickly caught her.
"I didn't even say a thing."
Meanwhile in town, Denisuko and Milly were trying to wake up the man who had fainted. "Jesu.this really sucks.Aunt Milly.who the hell is this guy anyways, and how does he know who you are?" Milly blinked innocently.
"This is Mr. Wolfwood. He and I met a long time ago.before you were born.when Meryl and I were trailing Vash the Stampede to prevent damages." Denisuko's jaw dropped.
"No way! This guy is THE Wolfwood?! That's so cool!"
A few hours later, Denisuko knocked on the door of her home and shouted to whoever was listening. "Hey! We need some help out here!" Vash looked up at Meryl and they both went outside, only to see Milly and Denisuko carrying a large man over to the door.
"What the?!" Denisuko glanced at Vash quickly.
[He came out in front of Milly and me when we were going to get groceries.Vash.Milly says that this man is Wolfwood, but I'm not too sure.]
Okay! Third Chapter is done! And I ended it on a cliffhanger again!*giggles a little* ahem.Review away! I'm trying to get the Fourth Chapter done.oh, and if you have any ideas for better chapter titles than I've got.e-mail me! I've had really sucky ideas when it comes to chapter naming.as you can see by the title of the chapter you just read.^_^()
