Chapter Seven: Questions Answered

Wolfwood sat on the porch outside of the house while Milly and Denisuko tended to the injured person who had been dropped off the previous night. Vash came outside a few minutes later and leaned against the wall.

"Hey Nick.where the hell did you go after the incident at the church?"

"A couple of former orphans helped me out.I owe them my life.and one of them is in danger of losing hers right now.she's the one who was brought to us last night."

"I see."

Wolfwood turned to glance at Vash "Why didn't it work out between you and her?" Vash sat down and sighed "She was starting to get a bit too...overprotective...and the damage done to our house by bounty hunters was enough to drive her batty...so I left...after I filed for divorce..."

"so.that's the way things are now? Denisuko's parents are divorced, and she's none the wiser.You really managed to screw it up big this time Needle Noggin." Wolfwood muttered.

"Shut up.it wasn't like that at all."

"yeah right."

"Wanna make something of it?!"

"What if I do?!" With that, Wolfwood tackled Vash and soon the two were grappling in the dirt, not caring if anyone saw them fighting. Neither one of them realized that they had been watched, and neither one of them saw the blonde girl who ran off to the garage after hearing them.

Denisuko quickly grabbed what she needed, crying all the while. She had come outside to tell Wolfwood that the mysterious woman had fallen asleep and to tell her dad that supper would be a little late. What she had heard had shocked her, and left her angry.

//If I ever see the bastard again.\\ that was as far as she let the thought get, because she knew from her short experience, that if she was very emotional about something, Vash would be able to hear her thoughts.

A few minutes later, a cloud of dust and dirt was seen leaving the property. Denisuko sighed as she rode off into the night. She knew that there was no way that she would willingly be coming back to her home, and for that, she was glad.

Ooh my.kinda an angsty chapter there.hope you guys like it! Denisuko seems kinda ticked, ne? don't worry, I won't let anything too bad happen to her!
