Part 7- An strange happening
Erics, Meryl and Milly talked peacfully at the table for dinner that night. Erics though it was a little too quiet, but didn't push for an answer to his unanswered questions. There were more important matters.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY DON'T HAVE A DONUT SHOP IN THIS TOWN?!" Erics asked as if they were telling him he only had a day to live.
"Just what I said. They don't have one. Well, they do, but they are all out." Meryl answered, sipping her coffee lightly.
Erics fell back into his chair like he just heard the most shocking news of his life.
'Could this man love donuts THAT much?!' Meryl asked herself, not really believeing what she was seeing. Here, Vash the Stampede's other half was whinning like a brat over donuts?! Sometimes she wanted to pinch herself to see if she was dreaming.
"I'm sure they will mave freash donuts tomorrow Mr. Erics." Milly said in her upbeat tone of voice. "They can't be out all the time."
"I guess you're right." Erics answered, with a sigh. Erics reached to to scartch his wound. It was plain ichy!
"Erics! Don't you dare." Meryl warned him. She didn't even look up from her cup. "I told you a thousand times before that you cannot touch that wound."
"But.. But.. It's ICHY!" He said, trying his hardest not to scartch the wound. He felt like he could feel it healing and it was bugging him to death! "It's driving my NUTS!"
Meryl hit Erics in the bad of the end. "AND YOU'RE DRIVING ME NUTS!"
Erics stay still for a few second. His eyes were hidden and he was sporting a lump on his head. Meryl and Milly paused. They looked at each other. Did he turn into Vash again? Meryl gulped. She didn't like Vash very much! He was scary!
Just then, Erics looked up. His eyes were swirly and he fell onto the ground. "owwwww..."
Meryl and Milly shared a sigh of releif. It was still Erics. Meryl little smiled down at the goofball. "Get up."
Erics obeyed, afraid that Meryl would hit him again. He sat back down in the chair.
"Lift up your shirt." Meryl instructed. Erics blinked at her. "I need to check your wound."
"Alright." Erics answered with a smile. He lifted up his shirt to reveil the bandages around his side. Meryl lightly unwrapped the bandages. Meryl looked at his wound. It was healing faster then anyone else's wound she had ever seen! It was nearly completely shut, but it could still open if he moved too sudden.
Meryl grabbed a cloth, and put some medication on it. She lightly and gently rubbed it into the wound. Then, she put new gaze on the wound.
The whole time, Erics was watching her. Milly had smiled at the two before leaving the room. She wanted though two to have some time together.
"All done." Meryl said as she finished the wrapping. She looked up at Erics. He had tears brimming his eyes. Meryl was taken aback by this. "What's wrong? Did it hurt?"
"No.. just that.." Then he started sobbing. "You're so kind to me!"
Meryl had a huge sweatdrop going down the back of her head. Erics continued to sob like a baby. It was almost comical how he was crying. She had never seen a man cry as much as this one did.
"Will you stop sobbing already?" Meryl asked him.
He stopped as soon as she finished her sentence. He grinned up at Meryl. "I'm glad I ran into you and the big girl. You're both very nice."
"Thank you." Meryl said, smiling in return. Sometimes, Erics could be sweet.
Erics started doing something weird. His noise wringled up and his eyes started to shut. Meryl took a step back.
"Ahhh...ahhh... AHHCHOOO!" Erics shouted as he sneezed.
Meryl looked at the snout covered in snot, in horror. She grabbed a napkin and handed to him. He took it and wiped away everything. He then threw away the napkin. Meryl looked down at him and into his eyes.
He was Vash again.
"Hello." Vash said, before smirking up at her.
"Hi." Meryl answered back. "umm.. I.. I have to go find Milly. You'll be alright by yourself, right?"
Vash's eyes narrowed a little. "I thought you would stay for awhile. I just got here.. sorta speak."
"I know. I'm sorry." Meryl answered right away.
"It's alright." Then he sighed. "I'll go take a nap. If that idiot is the one that wakes up, please, Hit him upside the head so I will return. I don't need him making this wound any worse then it is."
"I've.. I've been meaning to ask you about it." Meryl said tentively.
"What about it?" Vash questioned, getting up and walking over to the bed. His pace was slow and it looked like he hurt everytime his foot touched the ground.
"How can you heal so fast?" Meryl questioned quickly.
Vash stopped in his walk. He slowly turned to Meryl. Meryl felt her stomach squeeze together and her heart nearly stop. He was smirking. An evil smirk.
"That's because, I'm not human." Vash answered. He turned straight to Meryl. His whole body in her veiw. Meryl wanted to flee. She wanted to run from this man. But, her feet weren't getting the message to start up. Her whole body was rigid. Her breath was short and ragget.
"You're not scared of me... are you?" Vash asked with his smirk growing. He stalked up to her. He stopped only an inch away from touching her chest with his own. "Tell me.. do I frighten you?"
Meryl slightly nodded. She couldn't do much esle. Her mouth completely shut down and her legs were stiff. They wouldn't move either. Nothing in her body was listening to her screaming mind.
Vash's smirk widen even more. It reached his eyes now. They sparkled in a way that would either make you pee yourself in fear, or for women, make you melt away. Meryl simple shivered as if it was cold in the 90* room. Vash did something that in a million years, Meryl wouldn't forget.
He bent down and touched his lips with hers. He reach his right hand behind her neck, holding her to him. His left hand traveled around her waist and pinned her small frame against his broad one.
Meryl felt her arms moving. 'Finally! About time you started moving!' Meryl yelled at her arms. But.. they didn't do what she wanted. It was as if they had a mind of their own. They moved around Vash's neck.
She could feel the corners of Vash's lips turning into a smile. It made her feel abit sick with herself for giving into him, but it also made her feel happy that he enjoyed the kiss.
Vash opened his mouth and started to nip at Meryl's lower lip. Each time he did, it sent shivers down her spine. Vash's left hand traveled up, his thumb going under Meryl's shirt. He started to stroke her back, making her have goosebumps travel down her arms. It seemed no matter what he was doing, it made her feel good inside.
Meryl's own arms started to move on their own again. They traveled down his braod chest, pausing on scars. She would trace the outline of them with her fingers. She continued to move downward.
Vash was busy working his own magic on her body. His hand travel under her shirt and up her back. He reached the strap of her bra. He was about unclip it, when he felt a pain travel like a lightening bolt through his body. Meryl had accidently touched his wound. It caused him to reel back, braking all contact with her.
Meryl's eyes widen. Not from the pain she had caused in the man in front of her, but her actions of the kiss. She couldn't believe she gave in that easily to a man she hardly knew! She then glared at the man before her.
He looked up, both his hands on his wound. It made her feel bad about hitting the wound. She reached out to help him in his pain. She stared up at his eyes. He was Erics again.
"Are you alright?" Meryl asked him.
"Yeah. I guess I am. But... why do I suddenly have the urge to... umm.. how should I put this? Hop on the good foot and do the bad thing." Erics questioned her, looking into her eyes.
Meryl felt her cheeks flare up in heat. How could she answer such a question?!
"Umm.. well... Umm.." Then her mind turned back on. "How the hell should I know?"
Erics scartched his head in thought. "Umm.. I don't know.. just that.. how long was I out of it?"
"What do you mean?" Meryl questioned tintivly.
"Well, I have another gap in my memory. See... I have a problem. For some strange reason, I have gaps in my memory. Sometimes, days pass by where I end up who knows where! I have no idea how I got there.. or what day it is..." Erics said, sitting down on the bed. It was starting to bother him more and more that he couldn't remember.
"I wish I could help.." Meryl said, unaware of what she just said.
"You can! Tell me what happened, like a minute before I snapped out of it." Erics said, getting excitied. Finally! Some answers!
Meryl gulps. There were two very good reasons why she couldn't tell him what he was doing. For one, Vash would kill her. And Two, her pride on was the stake! If he found out she was making out with his other self... what would he say?!
"I.. Well.. You were just.. talking to me for a minute, then started walking back to the bed.. Then you turned to me.. and snapped out of it.. That's all." Meryl answered, keeping the 'bad' things.
"Did.. Did I act differant or anything?" Erics questioned.
"Umm.. well.. A little. You were more.. serious.. but that's it." Meryl answered quickly. She didn't want Vash to be angry at her for giving out too many details.
"Oh.. ok. Thanks Meryl. You've been a big help. If there is anything at all.. and I mean ANYTHING I could help you out with, just name it." Erics answered with his trademark grin.
"It's ok." Meryl answered back. "You just get some rest and I'll clean up the dishes. Don't worry about a thing."
"Alright." Erics answered, grinning at her one more time, before settling down in the bed. He covered himself with a blanket before falling asleep.
Meryl sighed. She hoped that Vash wouldn't be angry with her. That was the last thing she needed.
