Lu winced as the hands of the young man ripped the back of her bloodied shirt. "Ouchie!" She pulled back from him and gave a pathetic look with her blue eyes. "That hurt!"
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't get to the bullet wound with your shirt like that. Would you mind?" His pale blue eyes looked past her, but Lu was confused.
"Would I mind wha?" She said raising an eyebrow skeptically. Aldreasa sighed while driving.
"Lu stop being a baby and let the man clean out your bullet wound. Its gotta be uncomfortable with that metal in your shoulder." Lu's eyes would've popped out of if they weren't connected to her brain.
"GET IT OUT! Its gonna mutate in my body and turn me into an android!" Lu began clawing at her own shoulder trying to attack the bullet that was deep within her skin. Aldreasa was getting testy. She set the rearview mirror so her green eyes could see the two in the back seat. They focused on the gray haired man.
"Lu let him take it out so you won't turn into an android." Lu backed away from the young man until she was pressed against the window. She shook her head drastically. "Lu..." Aldreasa said through her teeth.
"Now way! I don't know this guy! What if he's an android too and he wants to turn me into one? There's no way you're turning me into a metal head! NEVER!" Aldreasa sighed.
"What's your name?" The way Aldreasa asked was more like a demand. His pale blue eyes looked over to find her eyes in the mirror.
'Charle Ahles' The young man thought in his mind, but he wasn't sure that he should tell the girls in case they would figure out what his name actually meant. Lu gave a great big yawn, turning her back to Charle as she scooted next to him.
"Ok Chuck, fix me up..." Charle raised an eyebrow at Lu as she sat there in her tattered green shirt. He looked back at Aldreasa. Before he could get a word out of his mouth, Aldreasa began to talk.
"So, your names Charles?" The young man had a look of astoundment on his face. "You might want to be careful with what you think. Lu has a gift. When you're thinking hard she can dig into that brain of yours to hear and see what you're thinking." Charle went to work on Lu's wounds, his face showing no emotion. "She won't invade your privacy or anything, but sometimes thoughts just slip into her head."
"My name is Charle." He said to Aldreasa with out taking his eyes off the bloody mess his hands were in. The tweezers came out of Lu's back shoulder to reveal a copper bullet. Just then Lu fell backwards, losing all stength. Her blond head fell back onto Charle's chest. His pale face flushed bright red, but quickly returned pale as Aldreasa giggled.
"Maybe you should just let her sleep..." Lu's blue eyes drifted into darkness. Yet another night of Lu's adventuring when she was unconscious.
**Vash, Meryl and Millie finally made it to the town called Sydney where their daughters had been the night before. They were tired, dirty, hungry and thirsty. The blond man collasped in the sand when they reached the main street. "Vash..." Meryl said with her exhausted voice. She was way too tired to scold the outlaw known as the Humanoid Typhoon.
"MERYL!" Millie screamed running ahead down the street. Meryl's weary eyes followed the running figure towards her very own car. She grabbed Vash by the collar of his poncho, hauling him to his feet.
"We found them! Look!" Vash's aqua blue eyes follwed her pointing finger. He clasped his hands together like he was in prayer and a sparkle illuminated his eyes.
"I'm saved!" The two began running towards the hotel. When they entered, they found Millie near the edge of breaking into tears.
"I'm sorry sir, I didn't know they caused you problems." Millie began crying openly now as the hotel owner began yelling at the husky woman. Vash and Meryl walked over to the tall woman to comfort her. Millie excused herself to go sit in a chair next to a pair of old men playing checkers. Meryl cleared her throat as she and Vash began calming the man down.
"Sorry sir, she's just a little emotional today. You see, we've been traveling the desert on foot." Meryl explained to him with a kind smile. The receptionist straightened his shirt and slicked back his graying hair.
"We're actually looking for our daughter, Lu." Vash piped up. The man raised his eyebrow at the pair. The small woman wasn't that old looking, but she was clearly older than the young man with blond hair. Vash either didn't notice this look or he just didn't care. "She's about his high, long blond hair, blue eyes like mine and-"
"Yea, yea, I know her." The couple's eyes lit up with hope. "She was carried in here yesterday by a girl with long black hair and Gabriel Josek." A sudden look of worry dropped on Meryl's face, giving her a new gray hair.
"WHAT!? Is she ok!? Which room is she in? BAYLU!" She began running towards the stairs while the receptionist tried to stop her to give the information she asked for. Vash stayed behind though to listen to the man. The humanoid typhoon smiled nervously.
"Women...hehe..." He scratched the back of his head while the man glared at him.
"I see ruining business runs in your family." He told Vash with a harsh tone. "They paid for last night's lodging, but never came in. Now, I'd like it if you'd leave my inn before chasing away anymore customers!" Millie came back over after she helped the old man with his checker game.
"Now sir, there's no need to raise your voice." Just then a scream came from the hotel rooms upstairs while they heard apologetic hollers from Meryl. The receptionist was becoming quite infuriated as he struggled to keep his temper at bay. Millie and Vash put their hands up while walking to the door. Outside in the street Vash, followed by Millie, landed face first in the dusty road. "How rude! I won't be lodging there anytime soon!" Millie said as she dusted herself off. A few seconds later, the receptoinist was thrown out of his own hotel. He landed in the dust beside the two. An angry Meryl stood in the doorway.
"Don't you ever touch me again! I'll have you arrested for harassing a worker of the Bernidalli Insurance Company!" The poor receptionist scrambled to his feet apologizing to the petite woman before running into his hotel and locking the door behind him. Vash smiled at Meryl for her way of dealing with situations, falling in love all over again. She noticed his googly eyed smile. "And what are YOU looking at!?" Meryl said in her still angered voice. His smile brightened before he spoke.
"The woman I love." He said happily with meaning. It made Meryl flush bright red and Millie giggled at her friend's blushing face. The small woman tried to stay angry, but it failed as she yelled at Millie.
"Millie! Help me find any clues as to where they went. Vash," His face was still love struck. "go...um...go search the town!" The notorious outlaw gave her a flirtatoius smile as he turned to leave the two girls alone.
"I haven't seen you blush like that for years!" Meryl turned to see a wide grinning Millie. The petite girl's face flushed once again.
"Leave me alone..." She said in defeat.
**An old silver car was parked in a small alley where three bodies slept. The first to awake was the young girl in the back seat. She rubbed the sleepiness out of her blue eyes. Her companions still slept in the two front seats. The dark haired girl lay in the passenger's seat with her tan coat wrapped around her body. The young man with gray hair slept silently behind the steering wheel in his black shirt and pants. Draped around Lu's small body was a black jacket that belonged to Charle. Lu put it on as she got out of the car to stretch.
"I wonder where we are..." She said with an uncanny smile. Her hand went to a salute as she stood like a soldier would. "It is my duty as first awake to scout the area for any donuts and these 'specialty' drinks." She said 'specialty' drinks with a groggy smile. Remembering all the alcohol she had chugged the night before, her face turned ill. She began barfing into a near by trash can. A black cat jumped out of the can, hissing ferociously. "Ugh, sorry." Wiping her face on a towel that hung out of a window, she felt refreshed. "Onward!" As she took her first step towards town, another sickly look came over her face and once again she went to the trash can.
**Vash walked down the street with his hands behind his head whistling a tune in his head. 'BayLu, where would you go?' Vash was thinking to himself. "Oh, where oh where could my daughter be? My Meryl took her away from me," He sang then bursted into a big smile as he walked up to a bar. "She IS my daughter right?" He said with a big grin as he stepped into Josek's bar. As the bell on the door rang, Gabriel looked at the weird man that had just walked in while holding his broom.
"We're closed." He said as Vash looked at the mess. Tables were thrown in a heap that had bullet holes in them along with a few silver shining things that were knives and ninja stars. There was still broken glass all over the bar along with blood stains across the walls here and there.
"What happened!?" Josek came from the kitchen. His arm was in a sling and there were cuts across his face from glass. His weathered face went to a surprised shock to a grin.
"Well, if it isn't one Disaster after another." He said with a sly tone. Gabriel looked over at his uncle with questioning brown eyes.
"Hey old man! How's it going?" The tall blond man asked as he walked over to his old friend with extended arms. Josek put up his good hand in protest.
"Now wait a damn second. Who are you calling old man!? I'm not the one with a daughter running about." Josek said with a big smile. "Suspecting you're looking for the little Disaster." Disaster was a nick name Josek had given Vash. The Humanoid Typhoon put his hands on his hips as he stood in a pose.
"My senses are telling me that I was correct in thinking like my daughter!" He said with his almighty tone of voice. Josek laughed at the blond.
"Ha! You were just thinking like yourself!" Josek noticed that Gabriel was still in the room listening to their conversation. "Hey Gabe, I'd like you to meet an old friend of mine. The $$60,000,000,000 man, Vash the Stampede."
"The one and only!" Vash yelled. Gabriel looked at the goof ball with disbelief, but one look from his uncle told him that Vash was the real thing. The brown eyes looked at the blond in amusement.
"I wouldn't of guessed you were Vash the Stampede, but you're definately Lu's father."
"The one and only!" Vash repeated. Josek smacked his friend on the back joyfully.
"Why don't you run along while me and Disaster here catch up on old times." Gabriel nodded to his uncle as he set the broom against the only standing chair.
"Oh! There's two Insurance ladies wandering around here somewhere...One's real tall with chesnut hair and the other is small with dark hair and-" Vash held his hands at different heights, indicating how tall each girl was.
"Yea, yea, I'll send them over if I see them." With that wave of his hand, Gabriel left out the back door. Josek raised a bushy eyebrow at Vash.
"Those girls still following you around?" Vash turned to his friend with a smile. "How did you manage to have a daughter with those two nuts chasing you...oh! Wait a second! The short one!" Vash scratched the back of his head with a small laugh. "Come here you slugger you!" Josek gave Vash a noogie after a great bear hug. "Thought you'd never have the balls to say a word to her! Haha!" Josek's mood turned from happy, joy, joy to an accusing look. "How come you never dropped by with your little Disaster family eh?" Vash sighed deeply as he sat down at the bar.
"I'll explain it over a couple of your 'specialties'." Vash said with a mischievious grin to his friend. Josek laughed as he began mixing the alcohol together.
"I should've known she was your daughter! Almost beat your record. Hell, if it wasn't for the Nebraska Brothers she would've done it too!" Vash nearly fell off his bar stool.
"Nebraska Brothers!?" He choked.
"Settle down." Josek said while setting the dirnk on the counter. "She's alright, but first tell me your story before I give you the news that's been bustling around my town." Vash took a swig of the alcoholic beverage.
Meryl was leaning against the trunk of her car sighing. Millie was in the back seat sleeping. "Where could they have gone aldready? And why'd they leave the car here?" Meryl heard a low laugh from the hotel's shadows as she spoke out loud to herself.
"Perhaps they bumped into a little trouble." Every limb in Meryl's body began to shake as her eyes opened wide. She knew that slithering voice, but it couldn't be him...Meryl's head turned slowly to look at the voice from the shadows. "Maybe there was no trouble at all and they're just out shopping?" The voice said with a mocking tone. The hat tilted up revealing lifeless eyes. Meryl held their gaze as she turned her body towards the man.
"Where are they?" Her question was a demand. Her eyes were stone cold serious. A breeze blew through the streets. There were people walking and hurrying around getting their daily chores finsished. Yet everything was quiet to Meryl. "Ruth Loose." Meryl said his name with a cold tone. The old man had hunted Vash down after the confrontation with Knives. Meryl hadn't witnessed the fight, but she could tell it must've been a rough one from the way Vash looked when he came home. Meryl's hand grabbed one of her derringers. Ruth Loose smiled devilishly while Meryl returned the grin.
A bullet whizzed through the hotel wall and right past the receptionist followed by 5 more gun shots. His eyes went wide as a man came crashing through his window. "Get out of my hotel this instant!" He was silenced with the three feet long barrel.
"Loose!" Meryl's voice yelled from outside. She pulled out two more derringers. Ruth Loose heard the click of guns. "Why don't you come out like a good boy with your hands up and your weapon down. We're a little old for these games aren't we?" Meryl stood in the street as the wind blew her long dark hair about fiercly. Ruth Loose crackled from inside, holding his gun at the receptionist's head.
"You're not as good as Vash. How are you suppose to take me down?" Meryl's eyes blinked in realization. He was right. The small woman couldn't be compared to Vash. Her eyes intensified with fear.
Josek was laughing hysterically at Vash. "Now, let me get this straight! You just happened to bump into your daughter, who you didn't know was your daughter, at a bakery while you were trying to steal donuts? Then after you find out she's your daughter, the little disaster runs away!?" They were both drunk and Vash was laughing along with him. The blond began to calm down, wiping the tears from his eyes.
"Ok, ok, ok now, -hic- you gotta tell me the NEWS of your town!" Vash said slamming his glass on the counter. Josek wiped his eyes from laughing so hard.
"Right, right, well my dear nephew comes home with two FINE looking women -hic-" Vash grabbed Josek by the shirt collar.
"Hey! -hic- You just called my daughter FINE mister!" They glared at each other for no more than a second before breaking into the hysterical laughter. Josek banged his hand on the counter while laughing his guts out.
"Well, your FINE daughter and her very FINE friend came in here and -hic- guzzled down 40 of my specialty drinks! With out a break! Givin a toast to her FINE friend and my Gabriel -hic- and the barstool!" He pointed at the stool next to Vash. Who looked over at it and began laughing anew. "And then...the Nebraska Brothers."
"NO!" Vash was drastically taken aback.
"-hic- Yes! She jumped on top of this bar." Josek heaved his body up so he could stand on the counter. Vash did the same, but with less grace. "She held up her glass to the Nebraska Brothers, looked at 'em with her beautiful blue eyes -hic- which she got from her wonderful father."
"HAHA!" Vash giggled quickly holding up his drink to Josek then back to the door.
"AND she said, 'This ta the men that came to rescue history,' or something like that...Then she took the great drink of her 41st cup of Josek's specialty!" Vash began drinking from his cup. "BANG!" Josek knocked the cup out of Vash's hands making it tumble to the ground.
"H-hey..." Vash said sadly. Josek put his good arm around Vash's shoulders.
"Big had shot the cup to pieces making Lu-Lu forfeit her 41st glass!" Vash hit himself in the head.
"How could he do such a thing!?" Josek threw up his arm.
"I dunno! But then..." The drunk trailed off looking out into the abyss. Vash stared off into with him for a few minutes.
"Then" Vash said.
"Oh yea! A fight started..." Josek said dully, climbing back down.
"Oh" Vash said with the same dullness.

Givin a toast to her FINE friend and my Gabriel -hic- and the barstool!" He pointed at the stool next to Vash. Who looked over at it and began laughing anew. "And then...the Nebraska Brothers."
"NO!" Vash was drastically taken aback.
"-hic- Yes! She jumped on top of this bar." Josek heaved his body up so he could stand on the counter. Vash did the same, but with less grace. "She held up her glass to the Nebraska Brothers, looked at 'em with her beautiful blue eyes -hic- which she got from her wonderful father."
"HAHA!" Vash giggled quickly holding up his drink to Josek then back to the door.
"AND she said, 'This ta the men that came to rescue history,' or something like that...Then she took the great drink of her 41st cup of Josek's specialty!" Vash began drinking from his cup. "BANG!" Josek knocked the cup out of Vash's hands making it tumble to the ground.
"H-hey..." Vash said sadly. Josek put his good arm around Vash's shoulders.
"Big had shot the cup to pieces making Lu-Lu forfeit her 41st glass!" Vash hit himself in the head.
"How could he do such a thing!?" Josek threw up his arm.
"I dunno! But then..." The drunk trailed off looking out into the abyss. Vash stared off into with him for a few minutes.
"Then" Vash said.
"Oh yea! A fight started..." Josek said dully, climbing back down.
"Oh" Vash said with the same dullness.
