*Rubs lump on head* owww.... Well anyway read on!!!
CHAPTER THREE: TEMPERS RISING
Two days later Knives was still making threats....only a few less than usual. Maybe he was learning to like them? Vash thought. But then Knives would do something totally disproving that theory and Vash woulds sigh. Knives was now almost completely healed. He still needed the use of a walking stick while his legs adjusted to his weight once again. Knives hated showing weakness. Vash also started taking him on walks through the town when he wasn't working. Meryl even took Knives shopping for new clothes. Knives tolerated Milly and Meryl now, Vash noticed. Well at least he was on the right track...
"Vash!!!" Meryl said, smiling. She shoved a box infront of him, "A treat for you!" (Today's there first "rest" day. Every sunday they get off to rest up for monday.)
"DONUTS!!!!!" he grabbed the box and wolfed down three quarters of it before she could blink.
She laughed, "Slow down before you choke!" she watched him eat the donuts, a warm feeling rising in her chest. Why couldn't she tell him how she felt about him? And did he feel the same way? Lost in her own thoughts, she didn'tnotice Vash starign at her.
"You ok, Meryl?" he looked concerned. Dropping the donut box he got up and hugged her. Meryl stood there, in shock. Then knocked him upside the head.
"What'd you do that for?" Vash said as he rubbed a growing lump on his head. Meryl stalked off to her room. Milly laughed.
"Oh! Vash? Doc says the lady has woken up. He also said she has miraculously healed completly, too! Good for her!" Milly went on making dinner.
"I'm off then!" and Vash was gone....
....As soon as Vash left the house, knives grabbed his gun and crawled out the window. What he needed right now was some solitude. He started walking towards a cliff he spotted on one of his "walks" with Vash. It was slow going, because of his knee, but he never made it to the cliff. Ahead of him was a woman, limping slightly. She also was using a walking stick to get around. Knives saw she had on a long black trench coat sorta thing, almost like Vash wears but different. Her hair was long, about to her ankles and black with red highlights. She was tall, almost as tall as himself and was skinny, but not so that she looked sickly.
She turned abrubtly and stared at him, "I'm not going back to that hospital. So don't even try to take me back." she looked at him coldly. Her eyes were a deep red color, almost like blood.
"Why would I care what a human like you does?" he sneered, tempted to kill her on the spot, but something stopped him. This he thought was odd, "Out of my way you pathetic human." he barged right passed her, knocking her off balance. She grabed his wrist in a vain attepmt to stop her decent. Knives, caught off guard, fell along with her. As the dust setled he found, to his anouyance, that he had landed on top of her. Her eyes were burning with anger.
"Don't look at me! You're the one who grabbed me!" he yelled, getting up and off of her.
"Well if you hadn't knocked me over I wouldn't have fell!" she yelled back.
"Well, if YOU hadn't run away from the hospital I never would have met you!" Knives paused. 'Wait one damn second...Did I just sayu that?'
"Why would you care?" she said sneered, "It's not like I'm all that special! Parents dead for..years...AND NOT A SOULD CARES!" tears were forming in her eyes. 'Now why did I say that?' she wondered. 'This guy is a total jerk!'
"I don't really care about your pareants. And I'm not a JERK!" he hissed.
She arched and eye at him, "I never called you a jerk..."
Knives was annoyed, "Yes you did. And I'm leaving." 'I want to get away form this human town and back to MY life.' Knives started walking to the cliff, again. He heard the rustling of feet behind him.
He stopped, "Don't follow me." he said without looking back.
"And what could you do? whack me with your stick?" she laughed.
Knives turned around, his gun pointed straight at her head. He smiled, knowing the fear on her face would be exquisit ((spelling?)), only to find her pointing a gun back at him. This puzzled Knives, more thatn anything. She showed no fear. Only his brother, Vash, had showed no fear when looking down the barrel of a gun. Those two human "friends" of his feared him, even if it wasn't a mind numbing fear.
"Don't push it little lady." he growled. 'Maybe I could recruit her?' Knives pondered.
"I'm not little." she said. Her chest rising and falling with her sharp intakes of breathe. She wasn't fully healed yet and she was picking a fight with someone!
Knives put his gun away and turned, leaving her behind, "Go home kid." a shot went off. Knives looked down. A bullet hole was next to his left foot.
"I'm not a kid. I'm probaby older than you are!." a sadness filled her eyes, "And I don't have a home." another set of footsteps ran towards them.
"Damn." Knives whispered.
"Knives! Knives!" Knives could here Vash screaming as he caught up with them. He stoppped and looked at the two of them. Vash patted Knives back.
"See! I told you you would like humans!"
"I don't like humans!" Knives yelled.
"I'm not human!" the lady yelled, glaring at the two brothers.
Vash and Knives stared at her, "What?" Vash said, his jaw on the ground.
