Disclaimer: I Do not own Trigun or any of its original characters.
However, I do own Silas and any sub-characters that I should choose to
throw in to become a crunchie. :D (In other words some random non-important
characters that Silas can ruthlessly destroy ~_^)
Authors Note: Wow, it seems like its been ages. I Thoroughly apologize to keep everyone hanging. It's been really hectic here at home what with Knives working and then not working. The poor thing needs memory or something along those lines. Therefore, I'm using my parents comp still. I lost the first half of this chapter because it was on Knives and it got eaten , Soooo I'm going to start fresh. Here's hoping that soon I'll be back on Knives and that I can update more frequently. Again I GREATLY Apologize, please don't forget about me!! I hope I haven't lost you all .. *sigh* On with the show.
Knives woke the next morning, having been tossing and turning most of the night hearing, the echoes of his sister's screams. However, he would never come clean to Vash about any of this. He looked down at his slumbering brother and grumbled some "Baka. You're not going to sleep in for long." He got out of bed and went to the shower, quickly undressing and hoping in under the warm water with only his thoughts.
Vash woke to the sound of the water running and the smell of cheap hotel shampoo. He sat up from his futon and stretched some extending his arms above his head. He was stiff from lying on the floor and sighed as he stood. He could smell breakfast wafting in from downstairs. He smiled and headed out into the hallway, drifting on the delicious scents that wafted to him. Unaware of a door suddenly being opened in front of him.
Millie and Meryl both were up at the same time, as usual Millie was writing to her brothers and sisters at home. Meryl was busy dressing as she called to Millie "I'm heading downstairs for breakfast awhile. I'll save you a seat!"
A happy reply came from the room, "HAI SEMPAI!!"
With that she opened the door, only to feel a solid form smack into the door. She blinked and grew frustrated "HEY YOU IDIOT WATCH WHERE YOUR..eh?" she broke off from her sentence and glanced at the form on the floor. It was Vash, still in his PJ's apparently too lazy to get dressed first before going for breakfast. With him, food always came first.
Wait a minute? Meryl thought What the hell is he doing here? I thought he was iles away! That also means that. HE's here too. She scowled "Vash! What the hell are you doing here!? I thought you and your good for nothing, psychopathic brother were out in the desert!!! God, You had me pretty damn worried heading out into the desert like that! What were you thinking leaving a girl like me behind!! You have the nerve, I mean to suddenly show up like that and without fair warning!! I have half the mind to."
Vash suddenly stood up and took Meryl into his arms hugging her tightly and muttering into her ear "I'm sorry I had you worried. I just was afraid something would happen to you or Millie if I brought either of you with. I'm glad to see you."
Meryl blinked slightly and felt her cheeks flush brightly. "Ah. wh..what do you think your doing lunkhead. get off of me." she pushed him away and half smiled knowing he could see her blushing " Well.uhm, just. don't leave me behind again ok."
Vash nodded some with a smile and gave a fake salute "Sure thing ma'am." He got a light chuckle from Meryl then a request for him to stop acting so goofy.
Knives exited the bathroom, dried his hair as he picked up the shirt he had chosen to wear, and slipped into it. He left it partially unbuttoned; he'd already put on his underwear and a pair of pants in the bathroom. He ran the towel over his short blond hair before tossing it aside and running his fingers through it to give it the right angle of spike.
He looked around as he slipped some socks on and put his boots on noticing his brother was gone. He grumbled some about his brother not telling him he left. "He must have already gone for breakfast, the baka."
He didn't even need to open the door to know that Vash's pets were here. He rolled his eyes some with an annoyed sigh as he exited and spotted his brother hugging the woman. At least it shut her up, but he winced at this display in disgust. "Must you do that in front of me?" he asked with utter annoyance. He gave the two a look that said 'I think of you as nothing more that dirt.'
Meryl managed to fake a glare retuning Knives look at her. "I'm sorry, but your brother isn't a sick lonely fool. He's got someone who cares for him, and if that sickens you then. well, Don't look at us." Good one Meryl give him another reason to blow you sky high.
Knives raised a brow and merely chuckled at Meryl's sudden backbone, though he could smell the fear on her. "Ah, as much as you tried to be clever with that one, I'd rather not have the company of vermin. And I do as I please." he walked passed them heading down stairs without another word.
Meryl blinked lightly at this "..What just happened here?" she gave Vash a quizzical look.
Vash shrugged some then smiled. "I guess he's cooled down a bit since we've left you guys. Dunno how much, but at least he's not blowing things up."
Meryl just gave a light shrug before taking Vash's hand and leading him down stairs to the breakfast table.
Silas entered the small town early in the morning when the suns were just beginning to rise high into the sky. People were bustling through town doing their usual chores. He could see families eating breakfast together, children playing outside already. It was making him sick.
He approached a nearby stand, noticing they were selling newspapers. He picked up one and glanced it over smirking at the front page. It had his work written all over it, the paper read, unknown force, perhaps more fierce than the Humanoid Typhoon himself. He laughed at the drawings of the carnage and the 'shadowed figure' that had caused it all. He tossed the paper back on the pile and continued walking through the city. He got a few unfriendly stares from random people, whom he simply side glanced to them from the corner of his eye and they quickly averted their gaze. He could notice whispers here and there about him, so he must have looked shifty, hahaha how perceptive! He hid his sniper under his flowing black trench he wore, so he would not draw too much attention.
He glanced up the street to the large light bulb-like structure and a malicious smile crossed his lips as he neared it. He reached out with his mind picking up the life signature of the being, it was practically dieing, hardly holding on to its pathetic life just so it could keep the less-than- prosperous city going. Two other signatures caught his attention however, and he paused in the street turning his gaze to the Inn at his right. He smirked and turned heel to head into the Inn.
He took a seat inside, it was partially a restaurant as well. He noticed that many humans had gathered for breakfast. A waitress was happily handing one man his pancakes as two children the table next to his were complaining about wanting to go out and play, as their mother scolded them. "No, you must eat your breakfast first, It's the most important meal of the day."
Silas took a seat at a table away from most of the crowd, and kept his eyes on the stairs waiting for his prey to reveal himself. He got his reward as both Vash and his brother descended the stairs. Vash had a short, dark haired woman leading him by the hand. Knives just looked particularly annoyed, as usual.
Knives took a quick glance over the room as he came down the stairs, something in the back of his mind was just itching to be noticed. He grumbled as he approached an empty table with four seats and sat down. Finding his brother and his 'pet' was just behind him as they two sat by him. Vash sat to his right and Meryl took the seat next to Vash. He sighed and rubbed his temples lightly trying to rid his mind of that awful itch.
Vash raised a brow to his brother placed a hand on his shoulder "Knives what's bothering you?"
Knives shook his head and waved a hand "Nothing, I just have a bit of a headache.I'm just hungry." He looked up and waved the waitress over.
She smiled at the three "What can I get you this morning?" she asked as she pulled out a pad and pencil waiting patiently for their order.
Knives began to order when an obnoxious voice rang in his ears "WAAAAIT FOR ME SEMPAI!!!" he looked over his shoulder with a sneer as the tall blonde came barreling down the stairs towards them and quickly to the remaining seat to his left.
He sighed and grumbled then went on with his order "I'd like two eggs sunny- side up with white toast and bacon."
Vash nodded some "I'll have the same." He glanced to Meryl with a smile.
Meryl thought a moment then said "I'd like a veggie omelet with wheat toast please, and an orange juice!"
Milly smiled "Ooooh, And I'd like a stack of your fresh made pancakes! With some milk and lots of syrup and butter!"
Vash blinked with a chuckle "Actually, I'm changing my order, I want was she ordered but double!"
The waitress nodded and closed her book "I'll be right back with your drinks."
Knives sighed and sat back "Ugh, that plastered smile on her face was really starting to annoy me."
Milly "Plastered? What do you mean? She was really happy to take our order!"
Knives shook his head "Right." before his eyes slipped over the room again. That tinge hit the back of his head again and growled. Finally, his eyes fell on the person that had been grabbing his attention. The silver haired figure in the back of the room was staring at him viciously with a playful smirk as he sipped a glass with red wine in it.
He narrowed his eyes at the man as he sat forward. He studied the form closely then it hit him, it was that kid from before, the one that had attacked him and his brother out in the desert. He snarled as he stood pulling his gun free and pointing it at the figure.
Silas sat calmly mocking him, he spotted the flash of a gun barrel and he could feel the heat of Knives' gaze upon him, but he merely ignored it and sipped at his wine knowing it would do no less than annoy him further.
His hand trembled some at his anger, his knuckles turning white wanting to blow a friggin' hole the size of the moon itself into his head. He recognized the long silver hair with a stray blue strand or two here and there, and those familiar golden eyes. Wait a minute? He looked closer, and upon doing so, he realized that one eye was an eerie aquamarine. Vash quickly stood from his seat when his brother abruptly jumped and pulled his gun pointing it at some person in the back. He placed his hand on the barrel and forced it down "Knives calm down!" he could see the people start to inch away or run out as his brother had pulled the gun. One of the waitresses had dropped her tray of drinks. His eyes drifted to his brother's target and his expression grew stern, it was the man from before, but his demeanor was extremely different this time.
Silas finished his wine and slowly stood, throwing his coat tails behind him and off his chair as he slowly lifted his miss-matched eyes and drifted towards them. "Good to see you two again, Alive and well I see." His eyes moved to the darker haired woman and a malicious smile crossed his lips again.
Vash glared at the man "What do you want?"
Silas glanced up at him with a mocking grin "What do you mean? I was merely passing by, hoping for a nice meal."
Vash listened to his words, it sounded innocent enough, and many wonders drifted in here for meals each day. However, something flickered in that aquamarine orb that told him, his motives were much darker than what his words were letting on.
Well there you have it folks! I hope you enjoyed it even though I made you wait a while for it! I hope to have the next one up ASAP. though I'm not sure when that'll be. I promise you it won't be quite as long as before!!! Anyway LUV YA ALL! LOVE AND PEACE ALWAYS!! Until then, JA NE!!!
