nougat center (Thank you Jhonen for introducing nougat in my life) I decided it
was
time for a new perspective.so.half of this chapter is going to be
in.AMAZING REM-O-VISION! Ok so here goes! Enjoy.you stupid potatoes.oh wait.there was
one
more thing.oh yeah I don't own Trigun! No wait.ONE more thing I had the
coolest dream last night! I dreamt, now I don't know how it happened I wasn't even thinking about it, I dreamt that I was like totally making out with Johnny
the homicidal maniac! And Bloody Hell there was a lot of tongue!! Oh my gosh!!
I was
like WOW! I am going to remember that dream forever! Wonderful
manifestations of my sick sick mind! *tents fingers* yummy! Ok NOW you can read the story!
They were angels. I just knew they were. From the first time I saw them I knew
they had been sent to help us. I couldn't understand why the rest of the crew
wanted to kill them. Hadn't there been enough death? Isn't that what we were fleeing from
on our old home? Impending death? So naturally I couldn't let anymore death happen. I
did the first thing that came into my mind. I threw my body in front of the naked
infants to show the rest of the crew they would have to kill me first.
Everyone deserves a chance to live. Joey convinced the others to spare the
Babies on my account and told me they were mostly my responsibility now. I didn't mind.
I had always wanted to be a mother. Unfortunately.circumstances came about that never
allowed that. He went to walk in the other world before we could have a
child.Alex. So now that the angels had been sent to me in the place of the child I couldn't
have I wasn't about to let them die.
I took them with me to my chambers (A/N: Chambers? WTF?!
where I dressed them in typical SEEDS uniforms. They looked so cute. I couldn't stop
looking at them. The blonde haired one sucked on his thumb of one hand while his
other hand was yanking on his brother's hair. Then suddenly the white- blonde one shot
knives out of his arms and gently pulled his brother's hands from
his hair. It was amazing; it was like they were already as smart as 5 year olds, even
though they appeared only to be couple weeks.
"Knives" I dubbed the platinum-blonde one, for obvious reasons, and the other
"Vash" because that's what my baby's name would have been.
Vash and Knives grew
at amazing rates though that was expected because they weren't human. In one year
they appeared to be 11 and had higher IQ's than the whole crew combined. (A/N: Steve's doesn't add up to much does it? :P)
We were mostly content, with sunny days,
picnics, and chess games; I now considered Knives and Vash my own children. The only
problem was Steve, he seemed to be threatened by them. I think he was afraid. Just
because they were different; he couldn't seem to see past their amazing brain power and
incredibly fast growth rates to the wonderful angels that they were. How they made hard tasks
with the plants so much easier and their desperate willingness to learn and fit in.
He was jealous. He was also something else. I didn't know what it was until I
found the shadows of a couple bruises on Knives' face. Knives had said that
Steve beats him and Vash all the time and calls them "monsters."
He started crying when he told me this so I pulled him close and hummed my
favorite song into his hair. He calmed down and looked around to make sure Vash
hadn't seen him crying. I confronted Steve about this and he denied everything although
he did say the he was right about them being monsters. After that I didn't see anymore
bruises on Vash or Knives. It was just one wonderful day after another.
Then one day, Rowen saw something on the monitor. It was a planet, we had a
celebration and I voiced my hopefulness that it would have red flowers. It was
around then that I noticed a change in Knives. It happened slowly, I didn't notice at
first because he had always been the deep and brooding one, but he slowly withdrew more and
more into himself, and confided in me less and less. I dismissed this as him growing
up and not wanting to be babied anymore, it seemed reasonable and I deafened my ears to
that little nagging doubt about what was really happening.
It became more noticeable until the day that we were in the rec room and came
across a butterfly caught in a spider's web. I smiled knowing this was life and
that Vash, being the little lifesaver that he is, would want to save it. I watched him
slowly approach the web and reach out to snatch the butterfly out of harm's way. Suddenly Knives
stuck his hand out and crushed the spider in it. I was too shocked to say anything and
Vash looked surprised and angry. "That was the easiest way to do it." He had said. I
told him he shouldn't make that choice so lightly because both of them are living
creatures. In the big scheme of things it isn't that important but as Knives grows older the
problems will get bigger and more difficult and if peoples' lives hang in the balance one
should not make hasty decisions.
Knives immediately challenged my logic saying that if you just keep on saving
the butterflies the spiders will die, or if I would have rather them stand
around and think about what to do while the in the meantime the spider ate the butterfly. I was
about to say that sometimes the spiders go hungry and sometimes the butterfly has to die in
order to keep balance but I didn't get to because Vash had just tackled Knives and pinned
him to the ground.
All I could do was stare in shock. They had never fought physically
before. Sure Knives would call Vash a baka every now and then and Vash would call Knives
a butt-head but they had never hurt each other by exchanging blows. So this sudden
outburst was unexpected.
"I wanted to save both of them you idiot!" Vash yelled while he had Knives by
the collar. Upon realizing what he was doing he let Knives up a second later. I
almost cried, my children were obviously going to go in two directions in life. (A/N:Yes I am going to skip Steve's trial and Rowen's and Mary's death cuz we all know what
happened and I am tired and I want to end Rem-o-vision So.zooming forward, to
right where they are running to the escape pods in their skin tight spandex space
suits)
As we were running to the pods I could only think about all the people asleep in
the freeze room. As I was about to enter the pod I looked back and thought of
everything I taught Vash, about the future being open and keeping your vision clear. I
suddenly realized this is what Alex would want me to do. I quickly shut the pod door
telling Vash not to worry and to take care of Knives. I knew I wasn't coming back. I had to
help the people and Joey though.
I watched until the pod launched then ran back to
reverse the thrusters. I found Joey dead in his chair, a gun lying near by, I had no doubts
about who did it.
"Oh Knives, where did I go wrong?" (A/N: Geez that was a soap opera-y line)I
asked quietly. The ship shook violently and I knew I didn't have much time. I
knew it would disinigrate upon entering the atmosphere. I doubted if even a bit of
shrapnel from the ship I was on would touch the surface of that planet.
I quickly shoved Joey's corpse out of the chair and re-typed the data that would
correct the orbit of the SEEDS ships. I checked the other monitor to see that
some of the other ships carrying the people had already exploded. I finished the data entry
and knew I had at least saved some people. I sank down in my chair and felt the ship
shudder under me for the last time. A single tear fell down my cheek as I realized that I was
leaving my babies motherless on desert planet, but I was comforted by thought that they
wouldn't be alone. "Alex," I whispered, "here I come.." (A/N:I thought I
might put the song "Blaze of glory" in here for a little bit of a songfic but I thought
that might've been a bit overboard. XD)
*******
Vash slowly tramped through the dust storm. They come up so suddenly on this
planet, and one who wanders, like he does, has to get used to it. The only thing
disturbing the tranquility of his mind during the storm was the thought of Knives being out
in it. He raised his head and quickly shoved on his sunglasses as a vicious wave of sand
immediately entered his eyes.
He was now able to look over the landscape as he was walking. He didn't need to.
He could have made it to the town with his eyes closed. Plants have an amazing
sense of direction.
He looked out over the barren landscape being forever arranged by the
harsh winds of the storm. The way the sand moves, it looks like it is sifting through
giant fingers, Vash mused. Then he remembered Rem, and her telling him about the ocean
and how it was full of sand. He couldn't believe something could have that much sand
until he landed on this planet.
He sighed. Why did everything remind him of her? "I wonder if Knives feels the
same way?" He asked out loud. He was immediately sorry for opening his mouth at
all for a whole bunch of sand was now caked around his gums. He didn't try to brush
it off with his hands for the fact that his hands were now home to more sand and grit
than he ever wanted his mouth to be. Of course Knives doesn't feel the same way. He
thought, this time with his mouth shut. Knives hated Rem, well, he didn't always. Just
after the spider incident.
Vash shook his head. He didn't want to remember the fight that was just the
Start of everything. Vash moved his hand through his hair feeling all the sand that
had settled there. He looked up to see, between gusts of wind and dirt, a tiny little town.
He smiled, another mistake, and continued to walk toward the town while spitting viciously.
*******
Knives glared angrily at the wall. He was exceedingly bored. Reba was out again,
surprise surprise, and a sand storm was howling around the hotel. "What a great
day," he mumbled sarcastically. "I know!" He said suddenly. "I'll go kill someone, or
numerous someones! Or, maybe I'll just kill Reba. She's the reason I'm here at all on
this little Godforsaken hell hole. Yeah, that's a good idea. She always makes things
complicated anyway. I'll just kill her and everything will be so simple!"
He sat up quickly,
completely enthralled with his new idea. He quickly threw on a trench coat, and picked up
his gun, Reba had been nice.er stupid enough to bring it back along with him, and walked
out the door.
As soon as he stepped out into the storm he immediately regretted not bringing a
pair of sunglasses. Maybe I should start carrying a pair around with me wherever
I go, like that broom headed brother of mine. He thought. He turned around, trying to
think if Reba had any sunglasses, and stopped dead. He couldn't see the hotel. Hell he
couldn't see an inch in front of his face. Fuck, he thought. Well I might as well just go
to the bar, he turned around again, and used his little plant navigating system (A/N: hehe!)
to lock onto and walk towards the bar.
As soon as he made it to the door and was about to push through it, he jumped
back as a bullet whizzed through the wood. He stared at the hole for a second
then quickly opened the door with his gun already out. He stopped dead. There was
Reba sitting on a bar stool surrounded by a pack of rough looking men and one man who
was right up in her face. She seemed completely oblivious to the attention that she
was getting.
"Didn't you just see that bullet go whizzing by your face!?" The man that was
the closest to her yelled. "You killed Tom and now you will pay!" The guy held the
gun up to her head and she finally turned to look at him. "Why do you insist on
bothering me?" she asked quietly. "As of now your legs are currently still attached to your
body, you should take advantage of that." She stated while staring him right in the face.
(A/N: hehe she is quoting Johnny!)
"Are you threatening me you little bitch?!" The guy yelled. Knives smirked and
sank back into the shadows where he wouldn't be seen. Maybe these guys would
take care of her for him, and then he could kill them. Reba slowly stood up and went
nose to nose with the barrel of the man's gun. "You have no idea who I am, do you?" She
asked quietly. "I know who you are! You are bitch who is soon going to be dead!" The
man screamed as he shoved the gun right up to her forehead. Reba smiled, leaned into
the barrel, and closed her eyes.
Knives let his jaw drop in shock. How could she be so accepting about her death?
He wondered. Oh well, he thought as he shrugged his shoulders and prepared for his
entrance. He heard the shot of a gun, but not the thud of a dead body hitting
the floor. What he heard sounded like many dead bodies hitting the floor. He looked up in
surprise to see Reba standing there in the midst of a pile of corpses staring out the
window.
Knives walked out of the shadows and up to her, his mouth hanging open again.
She turned to him and her melancholy look was replaced by a smile. "Hey Knives,"
She said. "What's up?" Knives mouthed soundlessly at her as he let his gun drop to
the floor.
He suddenly regained himself and pointed to the bodies. "Explain yourself." He
Said simply. She chuckled. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." "Try me." He said
icily. Reba merely shook her head smirking and glanced out the window again. "Oh look!"
She yelled suddenly. "The storm's stopped!" (A/N: You really want to know what she
Did huh? Haha, you will never know because I am a sneaky piggy and I no tell! Mwuahahahaha! At least not
till later.)
Reba ran outside and smiled up at the sunshine. (A/N: Yes she is in the sun.)
"It's all so beautiful after a storm." She said quietly. Knives walked up next her and
glared around. He was getting tired of her random mood swings. "This is probably a
metaphor for something, although I can't think of anything right now." She said.
Knives knew. He knew this is what Eden would be like if Vash had just listened
to him. It would be all peaceful days and no annoying humans with sudden mood
changes, he thought as he inconspicuously glanced at Reba. He frowned. How is it
that I can stand her? He asked himself for the hundredth time.
Knives suddenly swung his head toward the desert. Reba looked questioningly at
him as he glared to the east. He could see his brother's aura and he could tell Vash
was thinking of him. "Vash are you coming to shoot me again? If not why do you hunt me?" He
whispered quietly.
Reba slowly waved her hand in front of his face and he was
Once again overcome by the darkness in her aura. He frowned down at her, daring her
to question his whisperings. She shied away from him then said "Knives we have to
go. The cops are going to be here in a while and I want to be gone when they get here."
She said.
Knives continued to frown at her. Should I go with her? He asked himself. I want
to avoid Vash and the cops but I don't want to go with her. He remembered the
shower incident and went a slightly darker shade of pink. He didn't want another
episode like that again. 'Or do I?' He mentally smacked himself for even daring to think that way
He was interrupted by the sound of sirens coming right towards them. Reba
quickly grabbed his hand and yanked him toward the outskirts of the town. Knives
sighed in annoyance. He really hated it when she grabbed his hand. It made him feel
funny.
He looked back to see the cars stopping at the bar. He shook his head. It looked
the choice to go with her or not had been made for him.
Knives suddenly stopped and dug his heels into the sand 'Cars.' he thought.
Reba tugged his arm harder "Come on Knives! Now is no time to be enjoying the
scenery!" She hissed at him. "Shut up human, I have an idea." He snarled right
back. He thought about just taking the car, speeding off, and leaving her to the cops,
but he really wanted to know how she had managed to kill all those guys and emerge without a
scratch. 'Is that all you want?' Knives lip curled. He was on the verge of ripping out his own mind.
He quickly disengaged himself from Reba and snuck quietly over to the cop cars.
He chanced a peek into the bar to see the police still engaged in searching the
bodies. He slowly approached a car and reached his hand up to pull open the handle.
Suddenly an alarm went off! "Ack!" Knives yelled before wrenching open the locked door (A/N:
Yes my wonderfully muscled man.show off *winks*) and jumping inside. The cops came
streaming out the door with their guns drawn. "Stop, this is the police!" 'Well
duh' Knives thought as he sped toward Reba.
He didn't slow as he approached her at mach 12, he merely leaned out the
window of the jeep and yanked her in as he was speeding by. "You baka! Now they
know what we look like! Idiot!" She screamed to his face. "Again I tell you to shut
up spider. Shut your mouth before I put my foot in it." Reba huffed and looked out the
window, this was going to be a long ride.

metaphor for something, although I can't think of anything right now." She said.
Knives knew. He knew this is what Eden would be like if Vash had just listened
to him. It would be all peaceful days and no annoying humans with sudden mood
changes, he thought as he inconspicuously glanced at Reba. He frowned. How is it
that I can stand her? He asked himself for the hundredth time.
Knives suddenly swung his head toward the desert. Reba looked questioningly at
him as he glared to the east. He could see his brother's aura and he could tell Vash
was thinking of him. "Vash are you coming to shoot me again? If not why do you hunt me?" He
whispered quietly.
Reba slowly waved her hand in front of his face and he was
Once again overcome by the darkness in her aura. He frowned down at her, daring her
to question his whisperings. She shied away from him then said "Knives we have to
go. The cops are going to be here in a while and I want to be gone when they get here."
She said.
Knives continued to frown at her. Should I go with her? He asked himself. I want
to avoid Vash and the cops but I don't want to go with her. He remembered the
shower incident and went a slightly darker shade of pink. He didn't want another
episode like that again. 'Or do I?' He mentally smacked himself for even daring to think that way
He was interrupted by the sound of sirens coming right towards them. Reba
quickly grabbed his hand and yanked him toward the outskirts of the town. Knives
sighed in annoyance. He really hated it when she grabbed his hand. It made him feel
funny.
He looked back to see the cars stopping at the bar. He shook his head. It looked
the choice to go with her or not had been made for him.
Knives suddenly stopped and dug his heels into the sand 'Cars.' he thought.
Reba tugged his arm harder "Come on Knives! Now is no time to be enjoying the
scenery!" She hissed at him. "Shut up human, I have an idea." He snarled right
back. He thought about just taking the car, speeding off, and leaving her to the cops,
but he really wanted to know how she had managed to kill all those guys and emerge without a
scratch. 'Is that all you want?' Knives lip curled. He was on the verge of ripping out his own mind.
He quickly disengaged himself from Reba and snuck quietly over to the cop cars.
He chanced a peek into the bar to see the police still engaged in searching the
bodies. He slowly approached a car and reached his hand up to pull open the handle.
Suddenly an alarm went off! "Ack!" Knives yelled before wrenching open the locked door (A/N:
Yes my wonderfully muscled man.show off *winks*) and jumping inside. The cops came
streaming out the door with their guns drawn. "Stop, this is the police!" 'Well
duh' Knives thought as he sped toward Reba.
He didn't slow as he approached her at mach 12, he merely leaned out the
window of the jeep and yanked her in as he was speeding by. "You baka! Now they
know what we look like! Idiot!" She screamed to his face. "Again I tell you to shut
up spider. Shut your mouth before I put my foot in it." Reba huffed and looked out the
window, this was going to be a long ride.
