Chapter Eight: Family Reunion
The young man stood up and wiped the sweat from his brow. The suns were particularly brutal today. He looked around at all of his hard work and smiled, a true smile, which was rare for him. A group of the townspeople were standing nearby, waiting for him to turn around. One of the younger ones stood up a little straighter.
"Hey Kevin! We need to talk to you about something!" The man turned to face the townspeople.
"What seems to be the problem Natalia?"
"It's one of the Plants.some of the readings are kinda odd.would you mind checking it out later on?"
"You came at a good time. I just got done, so I'll be right over." The girl named Natalia bowed and the townspeople were about to leave when "Kevin" shouted, "Which Plant is it?" The oldest in the group stopped and turned.
"The one on the other end of town." 'Kevin' nodded and began walking, when he was stopped by one of the townspeople pulled up in a beat up looking truck.
"Hop in. it'll save ya time."
A few hours later, the young man sat down in the local saloon and sighed. "I just don't get it.nothing seems to be wrong.yet the readings are very odd." everyone was busy gossiping about various topics around him. //yet none of them seem to care that something is wrong with the plant.\\
{@ It's because they don't want to spend the rest of the day depressed.they're trying to find the positive. @} the man looked around for the source of the voice.
{@ Oh, I'm not anywhere in the city.yet.I will be soon.and I can help you with the plant troubles. @} 'Kevin' sighed and stood up to go. A group of the local women all began to whine
"Awww.don't leave Kevin.please."
"Sorry ladies.I've got to try to sort out that problem at the plant.I'll be back tomorrow.I promise." He walked out of the saloon, only to have a black cat run by.
"WHERE THE HELL DOES THAT CAT KEEP COMING FROM?!" 'Kevin' wondered aloud, just as another voice shouted.
"GET BACK HERE YOU DIRTY FLEABAG!" a tall girl with long dark hair suddenly slammed into 'Kevin', and both of them went sprawling. "ACK!" suddenly another voice joined in the confusion, only the third voice was chuckling.
"Oh yeah.that was REAL smooth Nicky." the owner of the voice carefully helped 'Kevin' up and smiled a little, the light from the saloon reflecting off of his glasses. "You'll have to excuse Nicky.she tends to overlook things."
Kevin smiled a little bit. "I can understand that.I've got a brother who's the same way." the second man smiled a little, nodding.
{@ Bumbling, moronic, and ditzy? I know whom you're talking about exactly. I happen to be related to the baka. @} 'Kevin's eyes widened slightly.
{@ Nice trick.but how are you able to. @}
{@ I happen to be a halfling, for your information. @} "Nicky, look in your pocket." The black-haired girl frowned and dug around in her pocket for a few seconds, and then pulled out a set of keys.
"How in the hell?!"
"I had duplicates made. I knew that somehow you'd manage to lose your set, and planned ahead. And I don't think it's standard procedure for a Priest to curse like a common person."
"You're one to talk, ALEXANDER YOSHIRU!!!" with that, the black-haired woman stormed away.
"That woman is rather scary." Kevin sighed.
"Yeah.but she's fun to be around most of the time.unless she's tired.then she can be a real bitch." Right as 'Alexander' said that, a boot came flying at him and caught him right between the eyes. "ITAAIIIII!" 'Kevin' sighed and carefully picked 'Alexander' up off of the ground.
"You certainly have a way with women."
{@ Like you don't?! I saw those women ogling you! You're about as bad as my dad.he's worse because he doesn't even love me. @} 'Alexander' glared at 'Kevin' and sighed. "I don't know why I even bothered to think he loves me." 'Kevin' frowned a little.
"You're Vash's kid, aren't you?" 'Kevin' whispered. 'Alexander' froze a little.
"How did you know?" 'Alexander' whispered back.
"Nobody would glare at me like that if they knew I was related to Vash, and if they knew who I am.Vash admitted that he never told his kid about me. I had kind of a different picture of you in my head though."
"Different? How?"
"Well, for one thing.I pictured you having jet black hair but the eyes are what I pictured.I figured you'd be a little bit taller, and that you'd be an actual boy.instead of a girl who's cross-dress-MMMMPH!" 'Kevin's mouth was quickly covered by 'Alexander's hand.
"I see your point.but don't go preaching who I am to the world, okay?"
"Fair enough.Why don't we go get something to eat.and tomorrow we can take care of the plant problem."
Okay! I wanna thank everyone who's reviewed so far... without your help, I wouldn't have been able to get this story off of the ground! Anyhoo.I'm not gonna be here Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, so don't expect an update anytime soon.sorry guys. I've got priorities, and right now, my Real Life priorities are taking hold! Mall of America.HERE I COME!
