CHAPTER 2: Exposed
"AHHHH!"
Vash's painful screams were heard through out the hotel, along with a few choice words of his own.
Maryl ran into the bathroom, thinking the worst.
"Vash, are you---"
She stopped short.
"Uh.oops.sorry, just thought."
Vash starred a moment, then realizing where he was, hid him self behind the shower curtain.
"Uh, it's ok, the water was just a little hotter then I expected.."
Maryl starred at the ground and blushed, as she apologized a few more times and left.
Vash sighed, and turned off the water.
"So much for a relaxing shower."
He stepped out of the tub, and searched through the thick steam for a towel. He dried himself off and went to the counter to gab his pj's.
"Aww, crap. I forgot them again."
Vash grabbed another towel and wrapped it around his waste. He sighed remembering what happened the last time he forgot his change of clothing.
.Vash had just left the bathroom, towel wrapped loosely around his waste, so that he had to hold it up. Before he could make it to the room, a very skinny, very creepy looking woman walked up to him.
"Well, well, what's the matter big guy? Forget your clothes?"
Vash had nodded and laughed, a little bit nervous. The woman smiled at him, and it made him so nervous that he had let go of his towel.
.This time Vash made certain that his towel was firmly gripped around his skin. Nothing would make his towel drop this time.
Vash opened the door, and saw a large line of people waiting, each one looked angrier than the person before them did.
Vash smiled and apologized for taking so long, then finally made it back to the room he and Knives now shared.
Knives was sitting on the bed starring off into space.
'It's about time, what happened? Did you fall in?'
Vash grumbled to himself. Why did Knives insist on speaking to him through the mind, it drove him nuts. Vash ignored his brother for the time being and hunted through a dresser for his pajamas.
Knives continued to stare into nothingness, which drove Vash even crazier then the mind speaking thing.
At last, Vash found what he was looking for, and turned to Knives, who ignored Vash's gaze.
"Knives.please."
Vash sighed. It was no use.
'Knives, I would very much like it if you would leave, so I can get changed.'
Knives smiled, he enjoyed it when he made Vash do as he wished.
'Why? It's not like you've got anything I haven't seen already.'
Vash's eyes narrowed, but he left the room, and paraded in his towel once again, through the line of people out side the bathroom. He walked down until he reached room 206. He knocked. Maryl peeked her head out, and starred at the still dripping wet, partially naked Vash in front of her. Maryl tried to contain a snicker, finding Vash's pathetic state somewhat amusing.
"Knives kick you out again?"
Vash sighed, and Maryl controlled herself, realizing that Vash was a little more then ticked off.
"Hold on, Milly and I will be out in a minute."
Maryl closed the door, leaving Vash outside, while people starred at him. A few moments later the door reopened and Maryl and Milly emerged.
Vash walked into the room, and slammed the door shut. Milly and Maryl exchanged looks, and starred at the closed door, confused.
Inside, Vash let his towel drop to his ankles, and organized his clothes. He sat down and put on his undies and pants, then started to put on his shirt when he realized it had a bunch of bullet holes in it. At that moment, Vash heard the faint sound of laughter from down the hall.
"Damn it Knives!"
Vash threw open the door and ran down the hall to his room. There he found Knives sitting on the bed laughing. Vash threw him a dirty look, then grabbed a large red tee shirt from his dresser. Vash put it on then sat on the floor and slowly counted backwards from twenty. No small joke of Knives's was going to push him over the edge. Vash opened his eyes again and went over to the dresser; he grabbed his gun and left the room.
"Vash, are you ok?"
He heard the familiar soft voice from behind. Vash sighed, and turned around with that hollow smile on his face.
"Of course."
She wasn't buying it.
"Vash, what's wrong?"
Vash sighed again, and shook his head. The smile disappearing from his face.
"Nothing you need to worry about. Here."
Vash handed Maryl the gun.
"Knives found it again, hide it."
Maryl took it, nodding. Vash went back to his room leaving Maryl behind. She watched him leave, then turned and went inside her room.
