4. Welcome Preacher man
Vash woke up to a major migraine.
"Ah damn my head hurts." Vash whispered to himself. He opened his eyes and realized that he was standing up, chained to a stonewall. "Oh no, this isn't good." Vash said as he looked around and noticed that he was in a dungeon. "Where am I?" He asked.
"You're in the dungeon of the castle." A voice answered as the guy lifted his face into the sunlight. "I was starting to wonder if I would ever to see you again.... Vash."
Vash stared at him, he looked so familiar, but Vash just couldn't place him, but then it hit him.
"Wolfwood?" Vash yelled in surprised, "But how, you died years ago?"
"Well I'm not quite sure. All I remember is dying in that church and when I woke up, I was here in this dungeon and a women with short black/green hair was chanting a spell of some sort " He answered, "I don't really remember much since then."
"Did, did you say short/black green hair?" Vash asked hoping he didn't hear him right.
"Yeah I did, why?" Wolfwood answered.
Vash didn't answer him, just hung his head in disbelief. 'Man I can't belief it? She set me up. But why? Why did she do it? How did she do it?' Vash questioned to himself, trying to figure out why Jean would do such a thing?
"Vash what's going on?" Wolfwood asked. "What happened?"
"Her name's Jean." Vash finally answered, "She's the reason I'm here." Vash replied.
"How did she do it?"
"I don't really know, I guess...... she must of put something in the donut doe?" Vash said.
"Well, well, well so you're Vash the Stampede?" A man said walking out of the shadows. "I was wondering when you where going to wake up?" He added walking in front of Vash and lifting up his head by his hair. "They were right." He finished dropping Vash's head and left the room.
"What was that all about?" Wolfwood asked.
"I don't know." Vash answered.
"Don't mind him, he's just jealous." Jean replied closing the dungeon door.
She walked through shadows into the sunlight, but she wasn't really herself.
Vash could tell. He wondered why she was here and who was it that made her do this.
"I thought you had work to do?" Vash snapped looking up at her.
"He, he we are out of town and I'm doing my work, even though my job is done....for now." Jean replied,
"What do you mean for now?" Vash questioned, but Jean didn't answer
"I just don't want to...." Jean paused as she bent down to Vash's eye level and stared into his aqua green eyes. "I don't want to." Jean lead down to his ear and whispered. "...to kill you."
Vash jerked back in shock to hear that, he never in a million years heard someone say that they had to kill him, but didn't want to.
Vash knew his only option, but he didn't want to.
It goes against everything that he is; everything is tried to avoid.
He didn't want to kill her, but he might have to....... to keep her from killing him.
"Jean step back away from him." Her boss said out of the shadows, but not showing his face, "I don't want you to take away all of the fun." He took a few more steps forward, but not enough to show his face. "I want to be the one to finish him off...since he's..... my own flesh and blood." He finished completely stepping out of the shadows, showing his face to Vash.
"KNIVES!!" Vash screamed as his eyes widened and his face turned from anger to fear.
Knives ran up in front of Vash, pushing Jean out of the way and punched Vash in the face.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Knives yelled, "NEVER CALL ME BY THAT NAME," Knives growled grabbing Vash by his hair and jerked his head up. "OR I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU."
"Well then you'll just have to kill me Knives." Vash snapped staring straight into his twin brother's eyes.
Knives pulled out his gun and pointed it at Vash's head.
Jean gasped when she seen the gun and for once she was afraid for Vash's life
. Wolfwood noticed this reaction and seen the worry and fear in her eyes.
"B...boss you said you wouldn't kill him." Jean choked out.
"I did?" Knives asked looking away from Vash to Jean and she nodded her head.
Knives let go of Vash's head and stood up.
"I did, didn't I.... I'm surprised you even care Jean." He paused and walked over to her.
He watched as Jean looked away from him and down at Vash
"Even after my warning, you still managed to care about him." He stopped in front of her and she looked back up at him straight in his eyes.
He noticed how her face changed as she did, it changed from fear to hatred.
He didn't like the look on her face and so he smacked her on the face, but this time Jean didn't fall.
"I told you...... I warned you...... but you still didn't listen to me.... I should go on my promise...... and kill you." Knives snapped pointing his gun right between Jean's eyes, but she didn't move.
~*~*~
Vash watched as his brother slapped Jean across the face and pointed his gun at her.
He wished he could do something, but with him chained to the stonewall, he could hardly move.
~*~*~
"If you're going to kill me..... then do it....... I'm sick of being your whore." Jean said grabbing the barrel of the gun and stared him straight in the eyes.
Then suddenly the dungeon door burst open and a tall woman, with long red/black hair run in and hit Knives on the back of his head with her gun, knocking him to the ground out cold.
"I warned you about hitting her you bastard." She snapped as he fell to the ground. "Jean are you alright?" She asked Jean.
"I'm fine Xe, let's get them out of here before sleeping ugly here wakes up." Jean answered as her friend handed her a key.
Jean ran over to Vash and her friend ran over to Wolfwood.
Jean unlocked Vash and her friend did the same to Wolfwood.
"What..?" Wolfwood started but was stopped by Jean's friend.
"Shh, we'll explain everything later, now let's go before they realize what's going on." She said helping Wolfwood up and the four of them ran out of the dungeon.
Jean's friend and Wolfwood were in front, being closely followed by Jean and Vash. They stopped a few times, but started running again.
"Where're we going Xe?" Jean asked.
"I'm not really sure....... but it will be someplace away from here...... away from him and a place he doesn't know about." She answered as the four of them ran out of the castle and into a jeep.
"Wait my Cross." Wolfwood panicked trying to get out of the jeep.
"It's in the back." Jean snapped pushing him in the back of the jeep and sitting in the passenger seat.
Vash watched as Jean got in and sat right behind her.
"Punch it Xe." Jean yelled as a few of Knives men came pouring out of the castle and Jean's friend nailed it.
They drove at full speed away from them.
The guys jumped into a few of their own cars and started chasing after them, then started to shoot at them.
" Ah damn it." Jean said as a stray pullet almost hit her. "Xe you drive I'll take care of them." Jean replied as she turned around in her seat and Vash was in her way. "Vash move." Jean shouted over the engine.
Vash moved and Jean started to shout, but she ran out of pullets, her friend handed Jean her gun, but soon it was out in a few minutes.
"Damn I hate theses things." Jean said sitting back down in her seat.
Then something on the floor caught her eye.
Jean looked down and noticed Vash's gun.
"Oh hey I forgot all about this," She turned around to Vash. "Vash how good are you on moving targets?"
"Good I guess...... why?"
"You guess ah shit," Jean snapped, "well you can't be any worst then me. Here use it." Jean yelled, throwing Vash his gun.
"Hey my gun, where'd you get it?"
"Don't ask me questions, just shot the damn thing." Jean screamed at Vash and he stated to shoot them.
With only six pullets, Vash stopped the fifteen cars that were chasing them.
"Damn you are good." Jean smiled surprised.
The drove for about a day or so until they finally stopped, at a little roadside motel.
"We'll rest here, then we'll have to leave early in the morning." Jean said stepping off the jeep. "Xe, take the jeep up the hill and trade it." Jean added to her friend. "I'll get our rooms." Jean finished as her friend nodded her head and took off.
Jean walked into the motel office, passing Vash and Wolfwood.
"I think I have better keep an eye on her." Vash said watching Jean disappear into the building.
"What makes you say that?" Wolfwood asked, "She doesn't seem all that bad."
"She has two sides to her.....I'm just not sure if we should fully trust her or her friend." Vash answered, walking away from Wolfwood to Jean when she walked out.
"We have the two back corner rooms." Jean said handing Vash a motel room key and walked away.
Vash watched her walk away and Wolfwood walked over to Vash.
"Well that was intrusting." Wolfwood laughed and followed after Jean.
Vash didn't reply, but followed after them anyway.
Once they finally reached the rooms, Jean's friend pulled up in a gorges yellow 71 GTO.
"Ah sweet Xe." Jean grinned as she pulled up and parked in the back, out of view of the highway. "You got the best one." Jean added walking around the car, checking it out, the exterior and the interior. "God I love this car. How did you get it?"
"Oh long story, left just say that he owned me." She replied.
"Nice." Jean smiled still looked the car up and down.
Vash and Wolfwood watched as Jean circled the car at least three times.
The look on her face as a pleasurable one.
"Jean are you ok?" Vash asked, walking over to her.
"I'm fine Vash, I just have a weakness for totally sweet muscle cars." Jean answered her eyes still on the car.
"Come on Jean, we have to get inside before he comes." Her friend replied walking past Vash, grabbed Jean's arm and started to pull her away from the GTO.
"Sorry about herm she loves cars, like the one outside." She said to Vash and Wolfwood as they walked into the motel. "Ok that ones yours." She said pointing to the right, "And this one's ours." She finished pointing to the left and she and Jean walked in, leaving Vash and Wolfwood dumbfounded in the hallway.
