Chapter 16
Goodbye
It was 3 years after Angel's death. Vash, Iris, Nick and Ryu were all living together peacefully. Humans were finding new sources of water, and new ways to make the water last longer. And the land was peaceful.
Nick and Ryu had a little three year old girl. Kira Rose Wolfwood. Vash and Iris, were, to say the least, still trying.
Nick had just laid Kira in bed when gunshots were heard outside. Vash bolted upright in his chair to run outside. Iris followed him. Soon both Nick and Ryu were standing behind them.
A group of people stood before them. Maybe a hundred people. One came forward.
"Vash the Stampede. Iris Cross. We are here to take your lives. Anyone who stands in our way will be killed."
Iris stepped in front of Vash. "There is no bounty on us anymore. Go home. There is no reason for you to be here. Please. Just leave us alone."
The man laughed. "You honestly think that we're here for the bounty? Foolish. If we had wanted the bounty we would have come for you long ago. This is for revenge. Vash, you killed my family in one of those towns you completely destroyed. You probably wouldn't even remember. Although you spared their lives in the blast. The devastation, having nothing left, killed them. And Iris. You assassinated my little brother. You will both pay."
The army pulled their guns out and aimed. Vash and Iris were pulled back by their shirts into the building. Ryu had gone and run to get Kira, who was crying. "I have a plan. Iris and Ryu will get out of here through the back entrance with Kira. Nick, are ya with me?"
Nick nodded.
"Are you guys crazy! You can't take them all alone! Let me help! Ryu can handle herself."
Nick grabbed Iris's shoulder. He whispered in her ear. "Look, that is my wife, and my child. And it's not that I don't think she can handle it, it's just that I want to be certain. Me and Vash can handle this. Please Iris?"
She sighed. And nodded. Tears nearly fell. She turned so Vash couldn't see and grabbed Ryu's arm, pulling her through the house. Vash and Nick waited until they heard the car start and drive away.
"Just like old times."
"For love."
"And peace."
~*~*~*~*~*~
Ryu and Iris were on the floor of an Inn, a few towns away, playing with Kira, trying to quiet her screaming. Nick and Vash were sitting at the table.
"Vash, I'm worried."
Vash nodded. He understood. They could have lost Ryu and Kira today. And Iris.
"It's too dangerous for her, Vash, I'm sorry. But she's just to young to be pulled into your past."
Vash nodded again. "So what do you plan to do."
Nick looked down at his glass. It was early in the evening, but after that passed incident, he thought he deserved a good, strong drink.
"I don't know."
Ryu walked over holding Ryu in her arms.
"I don't know if we can live together anymore."
Iris stood up. "How can you say that. We've lived together in happiness for the past three years. And now, because of one incident, you want to separate."
The pain in Iris's eyes was very evident. It was mirrored by the look on Ryu's face. "I just don't want Kira to grow up with the same kind of lifestyle that we lived. I want her to live happily. And I don't even want her to know that her uncle is Vash the Stampede."
Vash hung his head. Attempting to hide the tears that threatened to fall. "She's right."
Iris conceded. "I suppose." Her hands came to rest on her own stomach. "And I don't want that life, for our child either."
