Disclaimer: yayayaya... o.o;; Don't you KNOW this already? I wish Vash-kun was mine, but he's not. Nor is Meryl, or Knives. Angel is mine though. So are Terisa and Alex.

Angel

"Wake up Angel! You going to sleep in?" yelled the old man at the dark-haired girl in bed. When the girl nodded her head in her sleep, the elderly man hit her over the head with his hand. "No you're not. Typhoons near. They said it on the radio. Help me board up the windows."

A red haired girl walked into the room with wood plank. "Typhoon what? What's it called?"

"Humanoid," replied the old man matter-of-factly.

"GRAMPA! THAT'S NOT A WIND 'TYPHOON!' THAT'S ONE OF THE NICKNAMES OF THE MOST DANGEROUS OUTLAW ON THIS PLANET!!!"

The girl in bed perked her head up. "A dangerous criminal? What's his name?" she asked, her greenish blue eyes filling with curiosity.

"Vash the Stampede! The devil in the red jacket! The man who put the hole in the fifth moon! He destroyed 2 of the 7 cities!!!" replied the usually calm redhead.

"I don't see why your scared, Teri. People say he was killed, and there are plenty of people out there imitating him. I heard was a nice guy..."

"URRRRRRRGGGGG!! ANGEL!!! HE PUT A HOLE IN THE MOON!!!!"

"So?" asked Angel as she got out of bed. "No human can he that bad."

"I heard he isn't human... No one knows where he came from."

"You don't know where I came from..." said the tall girl in tight pajamas as tears filled her eyes. She refused to let those hot drops leave eyes, though her vision was blurred. "Your just bitter that I'm here."

"Bitter? HA! You' re just a lost little or-"

"Enough." said the old man. "Angel, get changed. I'll show you two how to use a gun- Just in case."

------------------

Angel sighed. Why'd Teri say that?. Teri knew that they found her in the dessert were bandits were sighted. "And Grampa's worse then Teri!" Angel remembered the look of fear and coldness on Grampa's face when she fired the gun perfectly the first time and hit every target perfectly. She was good, that's all. So why was he scared?

"Forget it. You know you're different from them. You're only 5, but you look 13. You grew much faster then normal, but who cares?" she said to herself. "What do you want, Terri?"

"How did you know I was here?" asked Terisa, who was behind Angel in the doorway.

"Instinct. What do you want?" she asked without turning around. You didn't want her 'sister' to see the tears in her eyes, though she figured she hear in her voice.

"I just wanted to tell you dinners ready, and that I think that was pretty cool how you used the gun. You were awesome!" she said with a weak smile. She didn't want to see her 'little sister' to be sad because she was good at something.

"Thanks," she said turning around. "If that Vash guy does try anything, he'll have to deal with me. She then extended her index finger and pointed at the ceiling light. "BANG"

There, Teri mocked Vash in a silly voice. "Ooooh!! You hurt me! You gave me an owie! Mummy! Save m-"

"IT'S VASH THE STAMPEDE!! RUN!"

"He's here already?" asked Angel. Teri shrugged and looked at the window with dread.

"Well then- I'll have to make sure he doesn't try anything!" said Angel as she pulled an old gun from the closet.

"WHHHATTT!!?? ARE YOU CRAZY!?" yelled the green eyed redhead.

Angel tied back her shoulder length black hair smiled a weird smile that gave Teri the chills. "Of course I am. You know that, but there is no time to think about that right now.
