Ok, sorry for taking so long to get this darned chappy up, but I had lots of things goin on, I would also like to take this time to tell yall that I can no longer accept any more requests to be in this story! Too many people, I apologize for all the newcomers to this story who would have enjoyed seeing themselves here, but the story line needs to progress! Noble Kitsune, I luv you! I don't think I could have a made that character on my own! Thanks so much! *giant hug and kiss!*
Well, now that that's out of the way, the next chapters aren't gonna be great. My cat was sick last night, and I'm not in a good mood........ *sniff*
Anyhow, I do not own Trigun. Or any of the characters in it. Yadda yadda yadda...
Chapter 14
Blood
Iris couldn't help but look behind her as she ran, she knew she had seen the Inn that Vash and the others were staying at, and what if they were hurt. She hesitated as she ran, faltering slightly, but Angel pulled on her arm, forcing her to keep going. Now was not the time to worry about him, she had to watch herself. She had to keep a clear mind to see the clearest path.
The group came to a large set of doors, which laid open, and many bodies lay at their feet. All of the people were still alive, just unconscious.
A figure was leaning against one of the doors, obviously the one who had done this. She was about 18 years old with pink hair that were put in neck length braids. She had sky blue eyes. She wore hip-hugger jeans and a red tank top. Large gold bands were placed on her wrists and neck. Iris noticed a small butterfly on her left wrist. She skillfully twirled two silver pistols on her index fingers.
"My name is Himoya Jingoku. You can call me Bean-Bean!"
~*~*~*~*~
Ryu ran towards the burning building, eyes on fire with the unrestrained tears. Nick, Vash, please be okay.
She broke her way past the various people who gawking. Some tried to stop her, but no one would chase her into the building. She smashed herself up against the door of the room they had all been sharing. Flames tickled her skin from behind her. "Dammit...."
The door busted down, and Ryu rushed in, searching the room for some kind of life.
No one was there.
They must have gone to Iris already! I have to get over there. She turned to leave, but the door was blocked by soaring flames. Shit!
Ryu ran over to the window, it was a three story fall, but better than being eaten alive by the dancing fire demons she saw within the flames.
She jumped, breaking the window, sending shards of sparkling glass in every direction.
~*~*~*~*~
Nick ran alongside Vash "Where the hell did Ryu get to!"
"She'll turn up! We have to hurry!"
~*~*~*~*~
Iris and Co. were running again, with Himoya in tow. They reached the next set of doors, the doors that would lead to the master, and the most guarded doors. The master would have his best fighters there.
She was right, as Nazo and Den pushed the doors open, they saw many various fighters, some with pistols, others with larger weapons, and some Iris wasn't sure what they were, or what they could do.
Angel, Himoya, Tsukasa, and Demonix pulled out guns. Nazo pulled out a sword, and Den pulled out a chain whip. Alu pulled out her daggers. Iris hesitantly reached for the gun at her waist, remembering she had only six shots...
There must have been 30 men in front of them. Each of the people in front of Iris ran out, going for a separate group so that Iris would be able to get past as fast as possible. She saw an opening and ran for it, hoping that that wasn't the last of the people she had now begun to feel as close to as she did Nick, or Milly or Meryl. They were like family to her. Risking their lives. All to kill the man that had raped her so long ago...
She ran forward, surprised to find another door. The building had changed more than she had thought it had in the past years..
She pushed the heavy doors with such a determination that they banged the wall behind them. A man sat in a chair, smoking a cigar, he seemed to find pleasure in seeing the panting women before him.
"I see your back, my dear Iris. Couldn't stay away from me could. Aww. But I see you have a gun with you... you didn't plan on coming here to kill me did you?"
Iris, hating this man with everything she was, found herself unable to speak. She lifted the gun and toke a few slow steps toward the man. His dark, greasy hair gleamed in the light of the large window behind him. He stood up and walked calmly up to Iris.
She froze.
"You really do not want to hurt me. You love me. Remember?" He pushed her arm down to her side and toke the gun. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck. "And I love you."
Iris was confused. This man had hurt her. But he said he loved her. He had hurt all those other people. Her family here. Den, Nazo, Angel, Alu, Demonix, Tsukasa, Himoya... He had hurt them all..
Iris punched the man in the stomach, then stole her gun back before he could recover. He pulled a gun out of his own pocket in the same moment, each had their guns pointed at each other's heads. The man grinned at Iris. "You love me."
Those words seemed to phase her. He stepped up behind her and sent a punch flying to her stomach in one fluid moment. But his fist met only air. A hard elbow came crushing down on his back, catching him off-guard and searching for breath. Iris didn't hesitate any longer, she punched him once more in the gut before using her gun and hitting him in the shoulder, leaving him breathless, and unconscious. She sighed. Knowing full well that he would be back up and ready for round two in a matter of seconds.
He weakly stumbled to his feet. "I see all of my assassin work has made you stronger than I thought. You won't catch me off guard again."
He rushed at her, hoping to drop a punch straight in her gut, but she expected the movement and sidestepped. It was a trap, the punch had been a diversion, and now she had a pistol pointed in her side.
"Don't underestimate me, love." the gun clicked. Iris gulped. I love you Vash!
A loud blast shattered the silence. Iris fell to her knees. "Keep you're hands off my Iris!" Vash called from the doorway. The master fell to his knees beside Iris, who had fallen out of shock. She stood up and smiled weakly at Vash, who nodded, knowing that this was now her fight.
Iris looked down at the man at her feet. "You are a horrible man, and should no longer be allowed to live. I should put you out of your misery now. But I have no say in who dies and who lives. That is not a decision that we have the right to make. You have killed to many. You need to repent. It isn't too late."
The man nodded at her. Then bowed his head, seemingly ashamed. Iris turned towards Vash and gave him the thumbs up. A large boom fired, and Iris fell to the ground. The man behind her grinned wickedly. "Never turn your back on me." Then he passed out.
"IRIS!" Vash ran to her side, hoping she would be alright.

ok, yall know the drill, and please tell me if you would be offended by a slight Meryl bashing, nothing mean, just a lil humor to livin the story. I don't want to offend anyone, so lemme know! Ja ne!
