Most likely, the next chapter won't be up until next week. I already have
to get ready for two test, and I have lots of stupid homework. Trigun is
not mine, so don't sue please.
Chapter 18.
Meryl was a little mad at Knives, she knew very well why he didn't let her go with him. She wasn't an idiot, she had discovered a while back how his mind works. For they actually had a lot in common. Knives will listen to the information first, and then decided what he should tell her and what not.
"Damn it Milly, I hate it when he does that. He thinks I'm stupid or something" said Meryl annoyed, while petting the cat in her lap.
"Meow"
"What is he doing Meryl?" Asked a very confused Milly
"Hiding things from me, deciding what I should know. He treats me like a little girl"
"Meow, meow"
Milly gave the short woman a look "But Meryl, you do act like a little girl. You always argue with him, called him names and suddenly you whined to get his attention"
"Meeeooowww"
"He is always bothering me, if isn't what I'm wearing it's how I'm standing or eating....Milly you are supposed to be on my side"
"Sorry Meryl, hey so that woman Eleandra is really not a woman?"
"Cross-dresser Milly, and don't even go to her and ask your questions. She has a bad mood, and won't let you get away so easily. Legato and Midvalley were really mad at you for asking if they were a couple, but they didn't do anything because I told them not to"
"Well it's their fault, but still I'm pretty sure that Midvalley guy is hiding something. I mean he wears pink shirts, and -plays- the saxophone...pretty suspicious if you ask me"
"Meow?"
"That's the way he is, he thinks he is a ladies man. I told you, before joining with Knives. He owned that club and had a band, they were really popular and he had girls falling over him. I guess he misses his old lifestyle, I don't blame him. If things go as planned, I hope that Knives gives him back the club and his freedom"
"So you are still planning on doing that alone, you should tell mister Vash at least"
"Are you out of your mind, what do you think he'll do. I can't just tell him that I'm lying to him, because I decided to take the task of changing his brother"
"But Meryl, if you can't do it. You may die, I don't want to lose you"
"Sad Meow"
"Milly I need you, if something happens to me. I can only trust you to take care of my children. Listen, it won't happen right away. Right now Knives is planning something, I can tell"
"What do you think he is planning"
"I'm pretty sure that it has to do with Vash, that would explain why he hasn't talk to him. We believe that he will try to use me to get Vash to join him"
"Affirmative meow"
"At least your sisters are helping you, and I would too Meryl"
"Thank you Milly, and you better keep this promise better than the one of not drinking while I was gone"
"Epp...that haha that was a little slip, sorry about that"
Unknown to them, Osiel was listening to their talk.
'So the woman knows about his plans, and is trying to stop him. It must be in her nature, after all that's why she was created?
'You bastard let me go, get the hell out of my body' scream a really mad Eleandra.
'You woke up, I think I underestimated you. You are not needed, go back to sleep or I'll make you?
'You big piece of shit, when Knives finds out. He will kill you, and that pathetic excuse of a boss you have AHHHHH'
'Told you I'll make you. Let's see what that man Midvalley has to tell me? Osiel went to Midvalley's room. According to Eleandra's memories, they could stand each other more than she could stand anybody else. He found him in his room, laying down in the bed reading a magazine.
"Hey Eleandra, you are finally back"
"Tell me what the hell is the Stampede and Chapel doing here"
"They were traveling with Legato, they just came along. You shouldn't worry about them, they are
usually always with Meryl. Just be careful of that Milly, she just won't shut up. And then she asks the weirdest questions ever. Oh by the way, I should also warn you about Meryl"
"What about her?"
"Knives is training her to use her mental powers, and Legato and I are her damn guinea pigs. Most likely you'll be target number three, and she is good. She already knows how to make things explode, move items with her mind and control one person at a time"
"What" 'damn it, her powers are coming out. Why is that idiot training her, stupid he has no idea the power she has?
"You okay?"
"I'm just tired, it was a hard trip. I better go to sleep" Osiel left to his room, and after he locked the
door he sat on the bed and meditated. 'This was not in my plans, how am I gonna take her away....I guess it will take longer than planned. I'm gonna need a tranquilizer, a strong one and many of them. According to the doctor, she has a very strong tolerance to medicine?
In Knives office...
"What do you think" asked Knives to Conrad
"Well, he was old. And he was a very depressed man, his whole family died in the July city incident. After that he went into a depression and stopped his teaching and research, it took him a while to get over. And after that he became a house doctor, and stoped any research he did before. It makes sense that he died losing his mind, and now that Damian is old enough to run for mayor. He won't let this opportunity pass.... Don't you trust Eleandra's information?"
"I just want to make sure. I can't risk their lives, and most likely she will not let me be until we
finally move to March city. She won't stop complaining, that this place is boring even if her
friends are here"
'Okay' thought the doctor. 'Is that Knives talking to me, like a normal person' The doctor was surprised, Knives was never this personal or emotional (shudders). There was something changing with him, and it had to do with Meryl.
"Why don't you send some of your men first, and if things look normal you can come too"
"That's probably what I'll do"
Hours later.
"NO NO NO, we are leaving right away, I'm not staying another day in this boring place"
(the only person that can talk to him like that)
"But we are not sure yet, damn it Meryl what if this is all a lie"
"Eleandra lying to you, I don't think so. She doesn't have a death wish"
"You are right but, still there isn't a place for us to stay. And it takes time to buy a house"
"Oh Knives, you have a man that can control peoples minds for god sake. I don't believe that there is something different, with a real state agents brain. Listen, I can't stay here any longer. You don't
understand because you are used to it, but I'm not"
Knives was mad, but he had to act nice. He was clenching his fists, if it wasn't for the gloves he
would be bleeding now. 'Calm down, just count to ten'
"Fine then, we will leave as soon as possible. But, under certain conditions"
"What conditions?"
"First off, your friends won't be living with us"
"What, but you said"
"I'm not done. They will live in a different place close to us, I don't want them meddling anymore.
Second, you will not go outside without supervision. Third, only your girlfriend is allowed in the house. If Vash or Chapel want to visit, they will have to ask first"
"What? Who do you think you are, my father"
" Take it or leave it"
Meryl thought for a moment, it was annoying that Knives would treat her this way. "Unfair, that's what you are, unfair....fine then.... Why are you so worried? Even if Damian was lying, what can he do to you. You still have your most powerful Gung ho guns, and I mean who actually has a chance against you"
Knives couldn't help but smirk at that, it was true. But he liked it, that Meryl would say it, he liked
hearing Meryl talk about how strong he was. (Conceited little bastard) Since her training started, she was amazed of his abilities. He knew that she would tell her friend, and most likely her friend will tell Vash. 'See brother not only do I have control over her, but also her admiration' -but you don't have her love- a little voice inside his head told him. He hated knowing that she loved Vash, it bothered him greatly. Why? Knives didn't want to admit it, but he was falling more and more for her.
Every night thoughts of Meryl thinking of Vash instead of him, would fill his mind. That was why he was so rough with her lately, he wanted to hear her scream his name. Telling him to go faster and harder...Actually it worried him once, what if they hurt the babies. But the doctor told him that it was still early, he didn't need to worry until her belly was to big for her to handle... so he continued with his treatment. He wanted to show her how much he wanted her, and he like knowing that she also wanted him and like what he did to her. To the point of losing control of her powers, and braking anything that was made out of glass in the place. 'She is mine,
there is no doubt about that' (Knives last name should be conceited)
"Knives are you okay"
"What?"
"You seem to be in lala land, that's never happened before"
"I'm just thinking"
"When are we leaving?"
"Probably in two or three days, I have to plan everything"
Meryl noticed that he was actually stressed out, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Because she was the cause of it. So she decided to help him. "Come here, sit in front of me" Knives did as told, and Meryl took his top off and started to rub his neck and shoulders. (I love massages)
"When we get there, we will go shopping. I need new clothes now that my belly is visible, and you need some nice clothes too"
"You can do as you want, as long as Legato or Zazie are next to you"
"But you are coming too"
"I don't think so"
"Aw come on Knives, do it for me" said Meryl while her hands travel down south.
"You think you can change my mind like that, I'm not as weak as you think"
"Oh you are not, what about if I do this" Meryl opened his zipper more, so that she could put her hands inside.
"I'm still not going" said Knives, while putting his hands behind his neck . Meryl pushed him on the bed, and removed the rest of the suit. "What about if I do this" Meryl started to give him an oral presentation. Knives was in pure bliss now, it still amazed him how could such a simple action cause so much pleasure. "So, are you going now?" "It depends, why don't you
convince me more"
In Milly's room.
"So that men Eleandra told us, that Damian is not looking for Meryl anymore"
"But why?" asked Vash
"Don't know, mister Knives showed up and took him before he could tell us"
"Expected, Knives is definitely trying to control the whole situation. I can't believe Meryl hasn't noticed yet" said Vash angry.
"Ah.... I better go to sleep now"
"Milly please tell me, why is Meryl lying to me"
Milly gave Vash an uncomfortable laugh "I don't know what you talking about mister Vash"
"Milly tell me, why is Meryl acting this way. She is good I have to admit that, but still not good enough to lie to me. Tell me Milly"
"Ow mister Vash, all I can tell you is that Meryl is doing the right thing. She told me that emotions cloud your mind, and make you do things you regret later. Please mister Vash just forget about it, she already has enough problems on her own. She doesn't talk about it, but I can tell that it bothers her being different"
"What do you mean?"
"Well you know, having to act like she used to be just for us. Pretending to be mad or angry when she is not, and dealing with you and mister Knives at the same time. It's not easy for her, but you don't see her complaining do you"
"You are right Milly, but I wish that she didn't have to lie to me....good night"
Vash left Milly's room, thinking that reading people's mind didn't sound so bad now. But he couldn't do it, he didn't have mental abilities like his brother or Meryl. He decided to take some fresh air, try to sort out what was going on lately. Zazie was outside when he noticed the presence of Vash, he actually felt sorry for the man. Everything he loved, has been taken away from him by the same person.
"Hey what you doing out at this time" ask the beast.
Vash was use to him, he was the only gung ho gun he felt comfortable with. Probably because he was only a kid. "I can't go to sleep, and you"
"I don't need to sleep, and I enjoy the outside better....Vash listen, I would tell you something but
you better not tell anybody. Meryl gave up on you, so that Knives wouldn't hurt you. She decided to forget about you, because she really doesn't have a choice. As long as Knives lives, she is his possession" and after saying that, he left.
Vash couldn't believe what he heard, it made sense now. What Milly told him and what the kid just said, Meryl was putting her feelings for him aside because she had no choice. He stood there for a moment, before going to sleep. On the shadows was Osiel, he had listen to the conversation.
Two days later they were all getting ready to leave again, Legato was actually -you could say-happy that they were moving to a city. He never complained because of Knives, but he hated living in the plant facility. Midvalley thought the same thing, he was a city boy too. Zazie didn't care, as long as Meryl was with him he was content. Eleandra or I mean Osiel was ecstatic, his plan was going just perfect. After getting everything in the cars, they started the long trip.
It took them three weeks to finally arrive to March city, and after not having any problems whatsoever. Knives stopped worrying about Damian gray, and became more worried with Meryl.
It seemed that at her third month, finally some pregnancy symptoms caught up to her. Her mood swings were horrible, she will be laughing and having a good time. And suddenly she will get all sad and start crying. Her eating habits were disturbing, she would eat way to much and sometimes the weirdest combinations of food.
One night she had all of the gung ho guns, looking for cheesecake and pickles at one in the morning. She also became over protective of the beast and the cat. And wouldn't stop complaining of her body feeling funny all the time. Even when the doctor found nothing wrong with her. It was getting on every bodies nerves, except for the doctor who was fascinated with her behavior. To
him Meryl was the most fascinating thing since, well she was the most fascinating thing.
They have been living only two weeks on the new house, with Vash and the others staying in an apartment close by. Thanks to Knives money, they didn't have to worry about paying for anything. But still, Vash and the others decided to look for jobs. It was during this two week break, were things were looking better for everyone. Vash had somehow, gotten used to the idea of
Meryl staying with his brother. Milly and Wolfwood were an official couple, and there were no fights or problems. The Gung ho guns were still under Knives command, but were having a normal life.
That was why Milly decided to visit her family, to introduce Wolfwood. And it was also when Midvalley asked Knives permission to go to Neon city, which he agree but only because Meryl made him. Osiel took this as his opportunity to act . Giovanni and Paulo were already on the city, and their plan was to kidnap Meryl while she went on one of her shopping trips. Today was the day, thought Osiel. He could no longer stand living with Knives and that man Legato. And
Eleandra kept waking up, at the most unexpected moments.
Today Meryl was going to the mall, she had been busy decorating the house. And Zazie and Osiel were going with her. They were just getting out of the car, when Giovanni shot Zazie and Meryl with a tranquilizer. Zazie passed out almost immediately, but Meryl's body was fighting the liquid. She had to be shot twice for it to work. After Osiel went back to his body they put them both in another car, and took off to the dessert. Leaving Eleandra's body in the parking lot.
Knives was used to Meryl going out for long hours, but when it became dark and there was still no sign of her. He called her mentally, but there was no response. He called Legato and they both went to Vash's apartment, sometimes she would go and visit Vash and ignore his calling. Vash received them very surprised, unless Meryl was with him his brother didn't bother to talk to him.
"Hey Knives what a surprised"
"Tell Meryl I'm here"
"Meryl is not here, I haven't seen her all day"
"What" said Knives a little nervous "what is going on Knives?" asked Vash worried. Knives tried once again to reach her, to feel her presence but there was nothing.
"Master do you believe something's happened to them"
"Knives where is Meryl?" asked Vash again getting more agitated.
"Let's go and look for them said Knives" still not accepting the fact that Meryl wasn't in the city. The three man left in a hurry to the mall, and in their way there they found Eleandra. He seemed in a very bad state, he was shaking and crying.
"Were is she Eleandra, were is Meryl?" screamed Knives, he was shaking him violently. Eleandra was scared, he didn't want to tell Knives what happened. He had failed, he had been used and because of him they took Knives most treasured possession. "Knives calm down, let the man talk" said Vash to his brother.
"T..t they.. t.. t.. took her. Damian's men took her, I.. I.. don't know were.. I'm sorry Knives they used me"
Chapter 18.
Meryl was a little mad at Knives, she knew very well why he didn't let her go with him. She wasn't an idiot, she had discovered a while back how his mind works. For they actually had a lot in common. Knives will listen to the information first, and then decided what he should tell her and what not.
"Damn it Milly, I hate it when he does that. He thinks I'm stupid or something" said Meryl annoyed, while petting the cat in her lap.
"Meow"
"What is he doing Meryl?" Asked a very confused Milly
"Hiding things from me, deciding what I should know. He treats me like a little girl"
"Meow, meow"
Milly gave the short woman a look "But Meryl, you do act like a little girl. You always argue with him, called him names and suddenly you whined to get his attention"

"Well it's their fault, but still I'm pretty sure that Midvalley guy is hiding something. I mean he wears pink shirts, and -plays- the saxophone...pretty suspicious if you ask me"
"Meow?"
"That's the way he is, he thinks he is a ladies man. I told you, before joining with Knives. He owned that club and had a band, they were really popular and he had girls falling over him. I guess he misses his old lifestyle, I don't blame him. If things go as planned, I hope that Knives gives him back the club and his freedom"

"What do you think he is planning"
"I'm pretty sure that it has to do with Vash, that would explain why he hasn't talk to him. We believe that he will try to use me to get Vash to join him"
"Affirmative meow"
"At least your sisters are helping you, and I would too Meryl"
"Thank you Milly, and you better keep this promise better than the one of not drinking while I was gone"
"Epp...that haha that was a little slip, sorry about that"
Unknown to them, Osiel was listening to their talk.
'So the woman knows about his plans, and is trying to stop him. It must be in her nature, after all that's why she was created?

"What about her?"
"Knives is training her to use her mental powers, and Legato and I are her damn guinea pigs. Most likely you'll be target number three, and she is good. She already knows how to make things explode, move items with her mind and control one person at a time"
"What" 'damn it, her powers are coming out. Why is that idiot training her, stupid he has no idea the power she has?

It seemed that at her third month, finally some pregnancy symptoms caught up to her. Her mood swings were horrible, she will be laughing and having a good time. And suddenly she will get all sad and start crying. Her eating habits were disturbing, she would eat way to much and sometimes the weirdest combinations of food.
One night she had all of the gung ho guns, looking for cheesecake and pickles at one in the morning. She also became over protective of the beast and the cat. And wouldn't stop complaining of her body feeling funny all the time. Even when the doctor found nothing wrong with her. It was getting on every bodies nerves, except for the doctor who was fascinated with her behavior. To
him Meryl was the most fascinating thing since, well she was the most fascinating thing.
They have been living only two weeks on the new house, with Vash and the others staying in an apartment close by. Thanks to Knives money, they didn't have to worry about paying for anything. But still, Vash and the others decided to look for jobs. It was during this two week break, were things were looking better for everyone. Vash had somehow, gotten used to the idea of
Meryl staying with his brother. Milly and Wolfwood were an official couple, and there were no fights or problems. The Gung ho guns were still under Knives command, but were having a normal life.
That was why Milly decided to visit her family, to introduce Wolfwood. And it was also when Midvalley asked Knives permission to go to Neon city, which he agree but only because Meryl made him. Osiel took this as his opportunity to act . Giovanni and Paulo were already on the city, and their plan was to kidnap Meryl while she went on one of her shopping trips. Today was the day, thought Osiel. He could no longer stand living with Knives and that man Legato. And
Eleandra kept waking up, at the most unexpected moments.
Today Meryl was going to the mall, she had been busy decorating the house. And Zazie and Osiel were going with her. They were just getting out of the car, when Giovanni shot Zazie and Meryl with a tranquilizer. Zazie passed out almost immediately, but Meryl's body was fighting the liquid. She had to be shot twice for it to work. After Osiel went back to his body they put them both in another car, and took off to the dessert. Leaving Eleandra's body in the parking lot.
Knives was used to Meryl going out for long hours, but when it became dark and there was still no sign of her. He called her mentally, but there was no response. He called Legato and they both went to Vash's apartment, sometimes she would go and visit Vash and ignore his calling. Vash received them very surprised, unless Meryl was with him his brother didn't bother to talk to him.
"Hey Knives what a surprised"
"Tell Meryl I'm here"
"Meryl is not here, I haven't seen her all day"
"What" said Knives a little nervous "what is going on Knives?" asked Vash worried. Knives tried once again to reach her, to feel her presence but there was nothing.
"Master do you believe something's happened to them"
"Knives where is Meryl?" asked Vash again getting more agitated.
"Let's go and look for them said Knives" still not accepting the fact that Meryl wasn't in the city. The three man left in a hurry to the mall, and in their way there they found Eleandra. He seemed in a very bad state, he was shaking and crying.
"Were is she Eleandra, were is Meryl?" screamed Knives, he was shaking him violently. Eleandra was scared, he didn't want to tell Knives what happened. He had failed, he had been used and because of him they took Knives most treasured possession. "Knives calm down, let the man talk" said Vash to his brother.
"T..t they.. t.. t.. took her. Damian's men took her, I.. I.. don't know were.. I'm sorry Knives they used me"
