I do not own trigun please don't sue.
Gomen Nasai everyone, busy weekend, with late shift working, kept me from posting this chapter. But here it is, I'll make it up to you, I swear. *Hands out bags of donuts, lounge chairs and free drinks of any kind.*
Vash, who sits in the audience for the time being, tries to get two bags of donuts or more, and some wild turkey, notices this and takes one bag away and hands him some water "Sorry plant boy no can do, no one is getting drunk while reading my fics," receives a pout from Vash.
Ok ok now for the fic. *Pushes Vash backstage while he's scarfin' donuts*
When Vash finally reached the porch, he placed a firm gloved hand on the post near him and smiled lightly up at his brother. In return he saw that Knives merely gave a light smile, but quickly averted his gaze. Vash furrowed his brow some at his brother's glare, and then glanced back over his shoulder to see the two women stop in their tracks at the cold gaze they received from Knives. Vash merely shook his head and looked back at his brother.
"Is that the sort of thanks you give them Knives...?" Vash asked.
Knives merely glanced back down at his brother and frowned "They don't deserve my thanks, besides, I never asked for their help, in fact I could have healed faster with out them. It was the vermin's fault it took me so long to get back on my feet. " He snarled and gave a sideways glance to Meryl and Milly.
Vash shook his head again "No, that's not true and you know it, you needed their care as much as you needed me to pick you up off that desert and carry you here. You would have never made it had it not been for them." He gave his brother a serious look, not liking the way he was treating the girls.
Knives merely chuckled at this "Brother, have you forgotten, we are survivors, I would have recovered… and…" but before he could finish he was cut off by Vash.
"You would have taken a decade or more to recover, that is if you could have carried yourself off the sand and towards your ship, which was too far away, you would have died slowly out in the desert, or if you went for a town because you were desperate the people my already have known about you and you would have been killed there, or maybe even …" then it was Vash's turn to be cut off.
"That's enough! … I don't want to hear this bull shit Vash! You know damn well they are frightened of me; I'm telling you they did something to hinder my recovery! You saw how they reacted to me; they weren't expecting me to be out of bed yet! I'm telling you they planned this!" His words were coated with a type of venom as he rambled on about them.
Vash clenched his fists " That's ludicrous… you were weakened, you wasted a lot of energy during our fight, so it took you longer to recover that's all. Now stop speaking nonsense."
Knives shook his head and laughed slightly as he brought a hand up to rest on his forehead, his palm pressed to his skin. "They've blinded you already it seems," he drops his hand and becomes serious "They are playing with your mind Vash, making you believe what they want! Twisting you to their will, their planning something against us I know it."
Vash dropped his head some as his shoulders tensed at his brother's words "No Knives I know for a fact that these people would not do that to us, I trust them! Stop being so damn paranoid!" He lifted his gaze to his brother, he felt like striking him, knocking some sense into him, but it wasn't his way, not usually. He advanced some and now stood beside his brother on the wooden porch.
Meryl just stared on at the two as they argued; she was beginning to feel her shoulders tense, which in reaction her back slowly began to tighten as well. She didn't like when the two brothers fought, it could go just about anywhere, and she wasn't feeling up to dodging bullets just after the day had started so well.
Meryl couldn't take the verbal beating she and Milly were receiveing, so she gathered up her courage and spoke out as she stepped forward into the space Vash was standing "Look Vash, let it go, its ok if Knives wants to be a ungodly prick and not thank us, see if I care, oh and Knives if you didn't want our help then I'd think you don't want it now, so, from now on you fend for yourself." With that she walked past the two, followed closely behind by Milly and entered the house.
Milly tensed greatly as Meryl proceeded to bitch at Knives, it was frightening, Knives could do many things to show his anger towards them and to reinforce his 'superiority' but then she also remembered Vash, Vash wouldn't let Knives touch them and she found herself relaxing a bit.
Once inside Milly bent low and whispered to Meryl "Do you think that was wise Meryl?"
Meryl gave a nod as she went to their room and stooped to pick up the laundry "Well, if he wants to live here and not be grateful for the things we do for him, then he can take care of himself, and I'm sure he's a big boy and can take things into his own hands." She left the room and picked up Vash's laundry as well, but didn't touch knives things. Then proceeded to leave the room and walk through the house.
Milly swallowed some "But, Meryl, you can't be sure how he'd take things into his own hands. He may try to kill us for this, or destroy the house, or the whole city!" She exclaimed a bit intimidated.
Meryl shook her head " Vash can handle it if Knives decides to get uppity… don't worry yourself."
Vash stood amazed as Meryl coolly took hold of the situation and put in her two cents, words that most likely would piss Knives off beyond repair. He frowned at this as he thought 'and I bet she'll want me to deal with him and calm him down for that' with a sigh he nodded some and prepared to do just that. He admired Meryls courage, its one of the traits he'd always liked in her, she was stronger than most.
He turned to watch Knives reaction, and sure enough he got the coldest gaze he'd ever seen in his eyes, they burned but in that same effect were meant to freeze a person in their tracks with fear of what his rage would unleash. He glanced to his brother's hands, one clenched tightly at his side as the other started to reach for his gun, HIS GUN!!!!
Vash had missed the fact that Knives had picked up his gun and came outside with it at his hip. He quickly maneuvered around and placed a firm hand on Knives', then lifted his azure gaze to meet his brother's icy blue, glaring back at him as he warned " Don't even try …"
Knives merely stared in his brother's eyes, glaring fully at him now, what was Vash thinking, how could he expect to let that wench get away with what she had said to him! But he calmed and released his weapon "Fine, I do not need this, that pet of yours is worthless Vash, She'll regret speaking against me in such a tone…" He narrowed his eyes some and turned heading into the house and storming off to his room. From inside you could hear a strong slam of the door.
Vash simply winced at this as his brother vented, he couldn't get into his room for a while, he probably wouldn't be allowed in the room all night for that matter, he'd probably have to sleep in the living room on the floor or something. He sighed and went to go inside, only to be half ran over by a busy Meryl with her arms full of clothes, Milly came right after her with the same things.
He smiled some "Going to do the laundry I see.."
Milly with a smile " Yup, that we are Mr. Vash."
Meryl chimes in sounding a bit worried "Did you sort things out with Knives then?"
Vash raised a brow some and laughed a bit as he rubbed the back of his head "Well, sorta, but I really don't think he'll calm down for a while, I'll be monitoring him for a while." He sighs and drops his hand.
Meryl shakes her head and trys to sound tough "Oh not like I'm worried about him Vash, but if you feel the need to monitor him that's fine."
Vash continues, "Yeah, it seems as though I may be sleeping in the living room tonight, I doubt he'll let me in the room."
Meryl nods " Yeah I guess your right… good luck Vash." With that she walks away with Milly close behind.
Vash watches them leave and nods some "Yeah… I'll be needing it."

Yes vash, *sigh* well, that's the forth chapter for you, I'll try to get the fifth up ASAP. R&R!!
