--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The five moons were the only light at night. Two strangers were walking down the empty street looking for a place to stay. One of the strangers was tall and had a red coat. The other one was tall too, and he was wearing a black suit and he carried a large cross.
"You and your old Angelica 2!!" It broke down, again!! And now we have to walk! Why don't you buy a new one?!" A tall guy yelled to his buddy.
"I like my old one besides we don't have enough money, because you always buy too much donuts!" The other guy said.
The tall guy went nuts, "I buy too much donuts?! I haven't eaten donuts for weeks now!!"
"What was the yesterdays' "happy pack" you bought?"
"Those were sandwiches!!"
"No they weren't! Don't you lie to me! They were round donuts, with a hole in it!"
"No they weren't!! They were triangles without holes!!"
"You son of a-- you-no-good bastard!"
And so begun the fighting and arguing.
But suddenly from the nearest bar, someone opened gunfire. The guys stopped fighting. And then they heard screaming.
"Let's go." The motorbike's owner said, "That was a woman screaming!"
"This time, don't hurt anyone!" The tall blond guy said and runned down the street.
The other guy runned by his side, "Don't start that again! Don't ask impossible things!"
They ran in to the bar and saw three guys pointing their guns at woman, who was lying on the floor.
"Hey, you should be nice to a lady." The tall guy sounded really angry.
"That's right" The other guy added and put the cross down.
"This is non of your business! So beat it!" One of the guys said and kicked the woman to a corner.
"Stop it!" The tall guy walked towards the three ugly looking guys, "Let the lady go!"
An ugly fat guy stoop against the tall guy, "What are you going to do, if we don't let her go? Shoot us?"
"Yeah, tell us, wimp." The two other guys laugh behind the fat one.
"I don't know let ask from him, shall we" The tall guy smiled and turned at his pal, "I think is time to let the cross speak... but remember what I said!"
"Yeah, yeah mom." The guy in black suit took of the belt from the cross and the sheet dropped.
The three guys looked at the cross terrified. The guys runned out of the bar screaming like a little babies and a black cat run after them.
The guy in black said and put the crossgun down. The cross was a big machine gun called 'Punisher'. "Dämn, I was out of bullets"
"Thank God" the tall guy said and walked at the lady, "Are you okay?" The tall guy looked at the lady who had brown pony tail and blue eyes. He felt in love at first sight, "Will you marry me?"
The lady gave a big slap in his face and walked out of the bar not even thanking the guys.
"Why did you ask that, moron?!" The guy in black sat down and ordered two drinks, "You scared her away."
The tall guy sat down too and was very depressed, "Why they always have to slap? It really hurts." He started crying.
"Don't start that stupid crying scene again! Be a man!" His pal said loudly and light up a smoke, "We have more importing things to think like were we gonna sleep tonight."
"Excuse me. I'm the owner of the bar and I have an empty rooms upstairs If you're willing to pay me, you can have one." A small friendly looking bar owner said and give guys their drinks.
"Lucky! We take it!" The tall guy said.
But unfortunately for the guys, the room had only one bed, a double-bed. The pals looked at other.
"I take the right side!" Wolfwood said first.
Vash let out a deep sigh, "Just my luck"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I love donuts! I love donuts! And they love me!" Vash singed happily and ate donuts like never before.
Wolfwood looked at his friend, "Could you be quiet, I'm trying to think."
"What are you thinking?" Vash was curious.
"The lady that we saved last night, of course." Wolfwood said.
"Oh! She was gorgeous! What a beauty! I would like have her in the same bed, rather than a snoring priest!" Vash grinned.
"I don't snore! You mumble always when you sleep!!" Wolfwood lost his temper and started yelling at Vash middle of the street.
"I can't help it that a mumble when I sleep!!" Vash yelled back, "I was dreaming it won't tell you it!"
"You are so annoying! A big baby and I have to be the babysitter!"
Another gunfire interrupted boys fighting. "Not again!" Wolfwood said angrily, "I'm not gonna help no one today. I shall go now and have a drink. See ya!"
Vash looked behind his shoulder at his pal, "Stupid priest" Vash ate fast all the donuts and went look what was the shooting all about.
People ran away and Vash started taking faster step. People were horrified. There was a bank robbers taking money from bank. There were about 25 guys with big machine guns.
"This looks bad."
The town sheriff was with couple town men talking to robbers, "Let the hostages go!"
"Oh No"
"Bring us a truck and maybe then we won't kill anyone!!" One robber yelled inside of the bank.
"We don't have any choices" The sheriff said to couple men.
Vash sneaked quietly behind the building, "There must be someway in." He saw a window. He looked in and was suprised, "Where are the hostages?!"
"Right here, hero boy!" Someone pointed gun at Vash head, "Hand up and no tricks!"
"Don't hurt me! I hate blood! Let's be friends, okay?" Vash lift his hand up slowly, "And I don't like people who sneak behind me." Vash turned and crapped at the shooters hand and twisted it little and the gun drop down, "Didn't your mother never told you to be nice to people?" Vash noticed that the pointer was a women, the same women Wolfwood and he had save last night, "You?!"
"Asshole!" She said and kicked Vash in the nuts, "You fucking idiot! Guys!! An Intruder!" Vash was in his knees, "That, hurts, really, BAD!"
Couple guys come out and tight Vash up and throw him inside. "Hey guys. Now we have a real hostage! This blond wimp!" The women laughed.
"What? You really don't have any hostages?" Vash asked.
"Shut up and stay still or I shot your tiny brains out!" The women said and pointed her gun at Vash.
"Yes, madam." Vash said and smiled.
"Zack! What's the situation?! Are we gonna get our truck soon?!" She asked from tall strong looking bold guy.
"We are getting our truck. Everyone. Bag your bags. We're off this crappy town! Red Devil had done it again!" He said loudly. Other robbers cheered. They took all the money from the bank.
"Red Devil? One of the famous outlaws around? The bounty is almost 1 billion dollarsthis isn't going to be a peaceful day" Vash though inside his head.
"Why are you taking the money? Why don't you go in a job and earn the money, like good people do?" Vash asked friendly.
"We're not good people!" The women said, "And this is our job. Robbing and killing." She laughed.
"That's really mean. I won't allow that."
"Who cares?! It's not your darn business what we are or what we do!" The women hit Vash really hard, "Be nice, and you will live longer. Stand up, hurry!"
"Can you help me, please?" Vash asked with big puppy eyes.
"Just get the hell up! Or I will make you dig your own grave!" She yelled and covered her face with a shawl and put a brown cowboy hat on. He looked then bit like a man.
"Come on Little D. Hurry up!" Zack said and runned out. Vash stood up and women named Little D walked in his side, "I have a loaded gun and I'm not affair to use it, so behave."
"Yes, madam."
They walked outside. "Don't shot, or this guy is going to die!"
"Let him go!" The sheriff yelled, "And we won't shot."
But Little D didn't let go. She walked in the truck.
"Let him go, you murder!" The sheriff said and someone of his men opened the fire.
"Forgive me" Little D whispered at Vash and pull the trigger.
Vash yelled in pain, "That hurts! Pain! Blood I will faint!"
"Don't shoot or I really kill him, at this moment!"
The sheriff went back and let the robber go in the truck. Vash yelled the whole time.
The truck drove away from the town. The truck was full of happy criminals.
"Men! We did it again! Let's have a party tonight!" Zack said and opened one of the money bags and took handfuls of coins, "This is for you, Little D. A small bonus for the good work, again."
Little D took the money and didn't thank. She sat down, next to Vash, "Are you okay?"
"The bullet makes only a small scratch on my skin. You were really kind not for shooting me really." Vash smiled thankful, "What did you think about my acting?"
"It was accident. I was trying to kill you." Little D took of the shawl.
Vash smiled at Little D,"You're pretty for a criminal, Little D."
"For you, I'm just LD."
"Yes, madam." Vash said, "So, how long have you been doing this dirty job?"
LD looked strangely at Vash, "Why are you asking?"
"I'm just curious." Vash grinned.
"As long as I can remember I have taken money and lives more than anyone else in this earth and still I'm not as wanted than Vash The Stampede. Someone even said I'm the Vash The Stampede. Hahaa! Ain't it quite funny?!" LD laughed. Vash faked his laughing.
"We got lots of common. I'm quite like Mr. Stampede. I know how it feels to run all the time. It's hard. Once you started this game, you will never have a change to end it. It's a job forever until you die." A shadows covered LD's face and one single tear came out of her eyes.
"That's not true. You can stop robbing when ever you want to. It's all up to you. Where ever you turn, there's a future. A different future." Vash tied to get closer to LD and comfort her.
LD looked at Vash, "Really?"
Vash smiled for answer.
"You're quite a strange hostage what is your name?" LD smiled.
"I I'm Valentino Pierre Jorma Perkele Chumbawamba Boogie Bob Charlz-Borgowich Innoiwa Tatami Jee-Jee Balkan JR." Vash told.
"??? It's okay, if I call you just Val?" LD asked.
"Sure, anything you want to!" Vash was shining like the suns.
