Legato dragged a sobbing Britt into a room and threw her onto a bed. They
stared at each other for a while before Legato started to talk.
"I have taken you from your friend..."
"Thanks I didn't realize that yet."
"...because you have more anger in your heart and I need anger for my mission. The boss has told me to get you and I do what he says."
"So he's like your pimp?"
Legato ignored her and kept going.
"I have brought you here to rest. Sleep. I'll be back later."
'Um-hm yeah like I'm not gonna try to escape.'
"No you won't its impossible."
"Don't read my mind u bastard!"
She lunged at him as he closed the door behind him. She sunk down to the floor with her back against the door.
"I will get out of here."
******
"Danni.... Danni.... wake up..."
Danni wiggled a little. She knew Vash was trying to wake her up. She was hungry, but she was lazy too.
"No....sleep good."
"C'mon dinners on the table."
"Alright alright."
She swung her legs around over the bed and sat up.
"Good now up."
She rubbed her eyes and stalked into the bathroom. She shut the door as Vash sat on the bed. She washed her face and walked back out. She grabbed her bag and went back in slamming the door. She had a spare change of clothes considering she was gonna sleep at Britt's house. Well that was shot to hell. She took out a black pleated skirt with pink plaid inside the pleats. She put on a plain black tank top.
"I need new clothes. After we get paid for something I'm getting clothes."
She walked out to see Vash looking at her. She looked back at him.
"Er...."
*THWACK!*
She smacked him in the back of the head.
"Oww....what'd you do that foooooooor!?"
"It's rude to stare."
She pulled him up by the sleeve and dragged him out into the hall. She sniffed.
"Mmmmmm...smells good."
"I know can we go get it now?"
"yeah c'mon."
They walked down the hall into the dining room. Danni sat next to Vash who was across from the strange short man. She poked her fork into the spaghetti and stared blankly at it.
'I will help you Britt. Please wait for me. Don't die please.'
A tear ran down her cheek. Before she could notice and wipe it away, Vash noticed. He nudged her and stood up. He pulled her up by the shoulders and began to walk her out.
"Um...she's not feeling well....I'm going to bring her upstairs."
They walked up the stairs with his arm around her waist holding her up. She was dead weight. She couldn't move or think. She didn't even know what was happening around her. He sat her down on the bed still holding her up in a sitting position.
"Danni...Danni are you ok? What's wrong?"
"I ....I..."
She started crying again. Vash hugged her to him and she cried on his shoulder.
"What happened why are you like this?"
She sat up and looked into his eyes. Tears were still flowing down her cheeks.
"I ...I can't do it alone...I'm not strong enough..."
"Do what alone!?"
"I...I have to save her...to help her...Legato has her....."
Vash froze.
"Legato has who?"
"My...my friend....she's....I don't know I have to help her...."
Danni suddenly stiffened and loosened again. She stood up like nothing happened.
"Stay here. I just want to shower."
Vash just looked at her and nodded.
'What's she doing? Does she realize what she just told me?'
He lay down on the bed.
Danni undressed and sat in the bath.
'Where did he take Britt? I need to know. I have to get there. The dork will help me I know it. He won't leave me.'
She stood up and put on a white tee and a pair of short black denim shorts. She went out of the bathroom into the bedroom and looked at Vash sleeping on the bed.
'He's so peaceful when he's sleeping, so sweet, and innocent.'
She yawned and wiggled her way onto the bed a lay in front of him. His arm some how got wrapped around her like a teddy bear. She wiggled closer feeling safe. He shivered. Then she remembered that the girl would be missing about now. She had to wake him, she didn't want to.
"Dork, wake up!"
He jerked himself awake.
"If you ever touch me again I WILL kill you. Ok?"
"Yeah...uh...ok."
"C'mon something's wrong." she said and pulled him downstairs.
They stopped at the last stair and heard a gunshot.
"Down stairs!" Danni yelled and pulled him downstairs farther.
They found out the guy was hoarding the water, which Danni knew already.
*** ½ hour later on the cliff
"Well there's not more drought," Danni said hopefully.
Vash sweat dropped and they walked off away from the town.
They got to a new town about 3 Iles later. They were tired and hot.
"I need water," Danni said.
"Me too," Vash said and danced into a tavern.
Danni smacked herself in the face and went into a store and bought herself a gun with the money she just took out of Vash's pocket when he wasn't paying attention. She walked back out and stood next to a group of people watching.
"Can you shoot?" The man next to her asked.
"NO of course not, im just carrying it to look pretty."
"Good, I'll pay you if you can get his daughter out safely," he said pointing to a man who Danni recognized.
"Fine, but it better be good pay."
She dragged her feet into the saloon and shot her gun at a chandelier which dropped on top of 3 guys pinning them to the ground. Vash had a shoe print on his face and was peeking above the bar from behind. She sighed and they open fired at her.
"CRAP CRAP CRAP!!"
She dived behind the counter feeling a splitting pain in her shoulder.
"CRAP CRAP CRAP!"
"What are you doing here?!" Vash yelled at her.
"I'm getting paid is what!"
She untied him.
"We have to get that girl out safely," she said pointing to the girl who kicked Vash.
She moved a little trying to get the last rope off and cringed. Her shoulder was bleeding badly. She couldn't move it.
"You're hurt."
"Thanks captain obvious."
"Stay here I'll take care of it."
The last thing she heard was a lot of gunfire before she blacked out.
