Wind Blown Storms
Chapter Two: Wounded Walk
Disclaimer: I thought I'd covered that already.oh well, see Chapter One.
Izzy: Uh, why not just cut and paste? Allison: Too much work. Yusuke: God she's lazy. Kenshin: Now Miss Allison works hard to come up with all this stuff, that she does. We should be grateful to be in her stories, that we should! Yusuke: Um, duh! We're not in there, genius! Kenshin: (going Battosai) You'd better put us in there! Otherwise I will be forced to rather drastic measures! Allison: (sighs). guess its time to raise room'n'board again. hehehe. Everyone: WHAT?!!!! Allison: By the way, the reviews are at the bottom. I know it's sometimes frustrating when you get tot the story, only to find three bazillion reviews in your way. Yusuke: (snickers) As if you could get three reviews.
"So you're supposed to protect the key players in each world's destiny?" Vash murmured, not sure he quite understood, " and I'm a key person?"
"Right," Ari said quietly. " I know it's hard to believe, but please understand. It's important that you know this.but not let it affect you."
"But why?" asked Vash, "I'm not sure why you're necessary. I mean, if someone is the strongest, doesn't that mean the Strongest? As in, no one is stronger?"
"Yes," Ari said, "but there will always be at least one problem a person can't solve, and I am there make sure they get past it. It's inevitable- a law of the universe."
"Hmmm." Vash said, then stared into space for a while, thinking it over.
Ari stood up. Vash watched, a bit surprised, as she squatted down, and crept, with such an amazing amount of stealth that he for a moment forgot she was there, to the door. She stood up and took out the man who burst in the door with gun raised as soon as he stepped in.
"Hey, now wait just a second, there was no need to do that, he wasn't.oh;" Vash trailed off as he stood up, then saw the gun. "But how did you.?"
" I heard him take off the safety," she said. ".although I thought there were more of them." She turned and saw, almost too late, the other two men waiting right outside the door. She misjudged the two men's speed and, not moving quickly enough, caught a shot in the right collarbone as the other grazed her left shoulder. For a moment she blacked out, then regained consciousness only just in time to barely twist out of the way of a finishing shot.
Gritting her teeth against her pain, she went between them, drew an odd gun of her own from underneath her coat, and clubbed both men in the back of the head in one sweep, knocking them out. She then collapsed down to sit beside them. Vash stared for a second, then snapped out of it.
"You're hurt!" Vash said, alarmed at her injury. "Ah, where's the hospital?!"
"I'm fine," Ari said, with a rather frightening look in her eyes. "Don't worry so much."
"YOU JUST GOT SHOT STRAIGHT IN THE COLLARBONE! YOU SHOULDN"T EVEN BE ABLE TO STAND!!!" Vash yelled. "WHAT KIND OF NUT ARE YOU?! Now, COME ON!!!"
Vash stormed out. Ari blinked, look completely gone, and then, feeling somewhat sheepish, got up and followed.
It was several days until the doctor would allow Ari to leave. After the kind man told her she was well enough to go, Ari turned to Vash and said:
"Well, it's been fun. Time to go."
Vash blinked. "Where are you going to go?"
"I got places to be. If something happens, call me-I'll be able to help." She hopped out of bed, and walked outside. Vash followed. She started to walk off, then turned, and with a small smile, said:
"Hey. Thanks. And good luck to you, Vash the Stampede."
Her eyes flashed like gunmetal caught in the sun as she turned, but he didn't catch the other half of her words: "You're going to need it."
Vash stood there quietly. Ari continued down the road, and, pulling up her hood, walked off into the vanishing sands of Gunsmoke.
Allison: So, what's up? It might be a little cliché, but I thought it was pretty good. Hey, I forgot to say that this is my first fan fic EVER, so be mean. Builds character. Kenshin: Are you sure that's it for this chapter? Allison: Yeah, why? Kenshin: (Battosai Glare) Allison: Y'know, that ought to be a technique o' yours. Bet you could scare any competitor away with that look. EXCEPT ME! BWA HAHAHAHAHAH! Yusuke: Yeah, she's all high and mighty because she just got her orange stripe belt. Goku: . Allison: Yep! Now only seven more belts to go before me black belt! Kenshin: That means about two years, right? (Back to normal) Allison: (all depressed now) sniff. Kenshin: I didn't mean to upset you, Miss Allison, that I didn't! Besides, the National Tournament is coming up, is it not? Allison: (cheering up) Hey, you're right! Yay, Sparring! Yusuke:.yeah. Goku: Yes! Someone who likes sparring as much as I do! Woo-hoo!
Allison: Okay, people, you know the drill: five more reviews for the next chapter! And Ari actually reaches the Meiji era in the next one! ( Grins!
