Hola y'all!!
I am back again with a newer chappie and I don't remember what number this is. Aren't I the smart one? ^_^ Out of the many times I have said this; I still do not own Trigun…sadly.

"That'll be thirty-eight double-dollars and six cecents, please."
Wolfwood handed his Punisher to Fenella as he dug into his wallet for the money to pay for their trip on the sand steamer. As soon as the money was counted up correctly, he handed it to the teller and she gratefully handed Wolfwood the tickets.
"Thank you and have a nice day." The teller said.
"Yeah, thanks." Wolfwood grumbled, as he handed Fenella her ticket.
The two of them began to walk towards the line that was forming to board the steamer. On the way, Fenella noticed that Wolfwood had been a little disgruntled.
"Hey Nicholas," she said, "Are you feeling okay?"
"No, I'm not. We had to sleep behind a building!" he replied.
"Will you keep your voice down?" Fenella snapped.
"Sorry," he said, putting his hands in his pockets, "hopefully on the steamer we can get a decent sleep."
"I hope so."

A.N – It's short…I realize that. My mind is just completely off right now so bear with me on this. Tanks.

On the steamer that evening, Wolfwood and Fenella had bought a cheap and quick dinner from a food stand that was in the cafeteria on the main deck. The two of them ate quietly then headed down to the hallway a few levels down where their things were. When they found their belongings, Wolfwood sat down next to them, leaning his back against the wall and closing his eyes. Fenella was still standing up, she looked down at him and a small smile found its way to her face.
"Going to sleep already?" Fenella said quietly.
"Of course." Said Wolfwood, with his eyes still closed.
Fenella sighed and sat down next to the priest, still thinking of where those insurance girls would be hiding Vash. She too was leaning against the wall when Wolfwood started to talk to her.
"Don't worry about Vash. He's with some good people, so there's nothing that you need to worry about." He said.
"How did you know I was worried about him?" she asked.
"All these years we've known each other and you never would've guessed that I learned a few things about you. How sad."
Wolfwood rested his head on Fenella's shoulder, using her as a pillow. It only took him a few minutes to be resting peacefully again. She looked down at him, gazing upon a good friend she thought she had lost a few years ago.
'Sometimes I think you know more about me than I do.' Fenella thought, leaning her head against the wall and eventually falling asleep.
A few hours later, Fenella woke up to see Wolfwood virtually stripping in the middle of the hallway. She quickly grabbed her bag and held it in front of her face.
"Wolfwood, What the hell do you think you're doling?" She yelled.
"Shh, don't wake everyone up." He said, removing the bag from her hands.
The priest looked down at Fenella trying to fight back a grin from her surprise.
"Oh, don't be too shocked. It's not as though you haven't seen me like this before. Remember that time when you walked in on me while I was getting out of the shower?" Wolfwood continued, tossing the bag aside and sitting down again.
"How can I forget?" joked Fenella, "I had nightmares for weeks."
"Harsh baby, harsh."
"Damnit, don't be so fucking serious. I never did see you as one to actually lighten up"
"Now how can you say that?"
"It's true." Fenella said.
"Well, maybe it's because I'm the only one who really seems to live on this desert planet. I don't know where you've been, but you're missing a lot more than you know." Wolfwood said, changing the subject rather seriously.
"What do you mean?"
"You honestly have no idea about it, do you?"
"About what?" Fenella asked, suddenly getting curious of the priest's comments.
"I think he loves you. At first I thought it was just another one of his silly infatuations, but I never expected it to last this long."
"Wait a damn minute, I'm bloody lost! Are you talking about me and Vash?"
Wolfwood stopped suddenly and turned slowly to give Fenella his 'you-are-such-an-idiot' look. As quietly as he could he said one simple word…
"DUR!" the priest practically yelled in her ear, causing Fenella to fall over to the side, "Happy to know that we finally have that subject covered."
"Yeah, so am I." Fenella said weakly, sitting up, "You should get your shirt back on. I'm not exactly sure how many people would appreciate it if they saw a half naked priest talking to a girl like me."
"A girl like you? You make it sound as though you're gonna fuck me into the ground or something."
"Where would you ever get such a barbaric idea like that?" Fenella said sarcastically, "I would never do anything of the like. I am innocent of all charges."
"Sure you are and I'm the white rabbit who kills everyone and then I explode by the holy hand grenade."
"The what?"
"Nothing." Wolfwood stood up and put a clean shirt on, "Come on, I think we might be near Mei City." He held out his hand for Fenella to take so he could help her to her feet.
"What makes you so sure?" she said, standing up.
"Not a damn thing."
