Oh yeah last chapter I forgot the disclaimer thingy... anywho (I like that
word) I DO own Trigun... and I lie a lot...

It has been 15 years since Vash's battle at the end of the anime, and 10
years since the last chapter. Knives son (read the last chapter) has grown
into a young man. They had decided to name him Nicholas, after Milly's lost
love. Speaking of Milly, she has moved on with her feelings about Wolfwood
and has been dating around, yet her shrine to him still remains.

"Meryl do you think we should tell him... who his father is?" Vash asked his wife, as they lie in bed the night before Jay's 10th birthday. Jay had grown up without any knowledge of his father; for fear that he would take after him, and kill the spider to save the butterfly.
"I think he is perfectly happy not knowing" Responded Meryl "and if we do tell him don't you think we should wait till he's a bit older?"
"I think now would be as good a time as any, if we do tell him at all that is."
"I guess your right, we'll tell him tomorrow, good night Vash."
"Night Meryl." ~~~
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday Dear Ja- y, happy birthday to you!" came Milly, Meryl, and Vash singing. He had only really gotten one important gift, the rest were toys that he would never use, for he felt childish using them. That one gift was his fathers Black pistol.
"Son, we... we have something to tell you"
"Yes mother?"
"Your father... was Vash's brother, he was a killer and made Vash do all those things the stories are about... his name was Millions Knives, and he made that gun."
"Why didn't you tell me this before? Were is he now, is he... he?" Meryl slowly nodded her head in agreement, and Jay became silent.
"We didn't tell you before because we didn't think you could handle it, we can't force you to do anything but please don't become like your father... please" the room went silent for a moment.
"Meow?" came the black cat, who popped out of one of Jays unopened gifts.
"In any case I think we should go out for donuts and pudding!" came the lighthearted tone of Milly.
"Donuts? Grate Idea!" Vash added.
"I don't feel like it, I'm going up to my room" Said Jay as he headed up.
~~~
"I hope he's feeling better soon"
"Me too Meryl, I have to teach him how to shoot his gun don't I!" Came Vash as he gave her the thumbs up.
"That's not what I meant at all" Replied Meryl as she hung her head in disbelief of the comment. "What's the point? You haven't had to use yours since before he was born, why would you teach him?"
"To uphold love and peace!" Vash gave his usual two finger love and peace sign. Just then Milly and Jay walked in.
"Oh Hello Mr. Vash"
"Hey mom, and Va.... I mean uncle Vash"
"Hey, don't start with the uncle stuff; call me Vash like you always did. If you'd like I can take you out and show you how to use that gun of yours"
"Yeah, I'd like that thanks Vash." Jay said as he and Vash left the house.
"God I hope I'm doing the right thing by letting Vash teach Jay how to use that, He could be evil like his dad was."
"I don't think Jay would ever do anything like Knives would have. He's just not that kind of person"
"I hope your right"
~~~
"Ah, finally what a long ten years it has been!" Jay said after he was done shooting with Vash.
"What are you talking about?" Retorted a very confused Vash.
"Brother don't you recognize me?" A look of sheer horror crossed Vash's face "That's right I'm back! This small body will be a thorn in my side but it's much better than nothing"
"K... Knives? H... how?"
"You think I'd been training my mind for nothing? I have been dead for far too long!"
"But, why possess Jay when you could have had a full grown body?"
"What and be like the filth that calls itself humans? Not likely! Plus there are certain advantages that come with a plant body!"
"Then take me instead! Leave Meryl's son out of this... You want your own child to die?"
"Take you instead? The when do I get the pleasure of killing you? And my child serves the purpose of being my body! You think that I would have a child with a human for any other reason?"
"Leave him, NOW!!!"
"Make me!" With that a gun fight broke out. Meryl and Milly unaware of anything because they thought it was still practice. Vash quickly gained the upper hand. "Go on finish me! Oh wait you won't because *no one should ever take another's life!* Ha! Morals! Until next we meet!" and with that Knives stole Vash's Tomas and road off into the desert.
~~~
"Oh god Jay!" Meryl cried after hearing. "How could he do this to my poor sweet little Jay?"
"You can't go after him Mr. Vash, he still is your Step-son, and your brother!" remarked Milly.
(Note to self NEVER use that sentence again)
"I have to; I hope you don't mind me using your Tomas. And Meryl, don't worry I'll bring Jay home safely.
With those words Vash the Stampede road off into the sunset.
