5.Pizza and Beer ^___________^
It's been about five hours since they escaped from, Knives's castle and Vash was going nuts from trying to figure out how Knives got to this planet in the first place.
"God I'm hungry." Vash said as his stomach growled.
He was lying on the bed watching TV.
"Yeah I know." Wolfwood replied putting out his third smoke of the night. "So how did you and Jean meet?"
"Well it's kinda of a long story." Vash answered.
"I've got all the time in the world." Wolfwood said, looking up at Vash.
Vash turned to TV off and sat up Indian style.
He didn't want to tell Wolfwood, but he would have to sooner or later and he was hoping it would have been later.
"Well let's see here?.........She was having some problems and I just helped her out. Then the next thing I knew I woke up chained to a stonewall and found you." Vash replied staring up at the ceiling.
He couldn't stop thinking about the night before.
The connection he felt as they laid cuddled in each others arms.
Now that Jean helped him get away from his brother, his thoughts were all confused.
He didn't know if he could ever trust her again.
Wolfwood got up off his chair and answered the door when he heard a knock.
He opened the door to see Jean's friend standing in the doorway.
"I'm going into town to get a few things, I was just wondering if you two wanted anything?" She asked.
"First of all." Wolfwood answered. 'Who are you?"
"Oh sorry I didn't mean to be so rude, my name is Xena, Xena McNeice." She answered.
Vash shot his eyes towards her, 'Wait isn't that Jean's last name?" He asked confused.
"Yeah it is, you see Jean and I are twins, but not identical twins." Xena answered.
"Oh that makes a lot of sense, since the fact that you both act alike." Wolfwood added.
"Well that is sort of the problem, you see Jean and I never grew up together as twins. We both had different families and different mothers, but the same father." Xena began, "We both were born on the same night, day and year, but she's an hour older then me." Xena said. 'So that's all you need to know. We wont be together very long anyway." Xena finished and left the room.
A few minutes later they heard the GTO fire up and leave the motel. That was when Jean came flying into the room.
"Did she leave all ready?" Jean asked as she walked into the room and over to the window. "She knew I wanted to drive." Jean said walking away from the window with a sad look on her face.
She sat down next to Vash and grabbed the remote away from him.
"You don't even know what this is Vash and besides, The Nightmare on Elmstreet marathon is on." Jean snapped when Vash looked at her with a disappointed look on his face.
Jean changed the channel to 45.
She seen that is wasn't on yet so she got up and walked back over to the window.
"I hope Xe gets back soon, I'm staving." Jean added looking out the window and then closed the curtains, to were the only light in the room was the glow of the TV.
Jean walked back to the bed, made herself a pile of pillows and then sat back down.
"Um Vash I hope you don't mind, because this movie is a horror movie and this station doesn't cut any of the good parts out. At um some point I will get scared and when I get scared I grab a hold of the person's arm that is closet to me. So just to warn you so you wont freak out or anything." Jean finished.
She was lending a little to close to Vash, but he didn't care.
~*~*~*~
Xena came back with a few pizzas and beer.
She and Wolfwood had a drinking contest and Xena won.
Then Jean and Vash got into an eating contest and Jean won.
Around midnight or so Xena and Wolfwood past out, so Jean and Vash grabbed a few six-packs and left over pizza and went to Jean's room.
"God those two snore loud." Jean complained opening the motel room door and walked in. "This is way I have my own room." Jean added closing the door after Vash walked in.
Vash walked over to a table, laid the pizza and beer on it and flopped down on the bed.
"Man what a day." Vash whispered as he let out a tired sigh.
"Yeah I know, It's not everyday someone betrays the boss, oh I mean Knives." Jean replied opening a beer and the pizza lid.
Vash turned his head to her and thought about asking her something that has been bugging him every since they left the castle.
"How did you and Knives meet?"
Jean jerked her head up, she was surprised he asked her that.
It never seemed to cross her mind that he might have wondered.
Jean stared at him afraid of what he might say if she told him.
She stared into his peaceful aqua green eyes; she didn't know what to say or how to start.
Jean swallowed hard, took a deep breath and began.
"I met him in LA about five years ago............ I had just gotten over a huge heartbreak, so Xe took me to a local club to help get over him and have a little fun." Jean paused
Jean Looked away from Vash and continued.
"I was having a great time, until this jerk came up and started messing with me. I tried to tell him to get lost, even Xe told him where to go, but he wouldn't.................." Jean stopped and closed her eyes as the memoires returned to her.
"That was until Knives walked in, I've seen him around town and we had even talked a few times. He came in, knocked the dude out and then the three of us ran out." Jean laid her bottle of beer on the table, stood up and walked over to the window. "He seemed so prefect, I never thought he would ever turn on me................ When I found out about what he does for a living, he got so mad. If Xena hadn't came by when she did, he would've killed me." Jean laid her head on the wall and held back her tears of pain. "Xena and I tried to leave him, but we knew to much, they told us to join them or die." Jean finished, finally letting her tears fall as she fell to her knees and started crying with no limit.
Vash jumped off the bed and over to her. He knelt down, wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him.
Once again Jean laid her head on his chest and cried her eyes out.
Finally a few minutes later Jean calmed down and looked up at him.
"I'm sorry Vash, I don't mean to be like this, its just thinking about him, just makes me start crying my eyes out." Jean said apologized for her actions. "Vash are you ok?" Jean asked.
"My............my..........my...........legs are numb." Vash choked out.
"Oh I'm sorry, here let me help you up." Jean said standing up and helping Vash to his feet. "Here sit on the bed." Jean said struggling under his weight and dropping him on the bed. "There how's that?" Jean asked standing up, but tripped over Vash's feet and landed right on top of him.
Vash laid on his back as Jean fell on him.
She caught herself and looked up into his face.
For the first time their eyes truly met.
They stared into each others eyes and before they knew what was going on, Vash laid a hand on the back of Jean's head and pulled her head closer to his.
Their lips touched and slowly pulled apart.
Jean broke away and looked at him.
"Vas." Jean didn't finish because Vash put his lips to hers again and flipped Jean on her back.
Vash lend up and Jean started to unbutton his trench coat.
Jean got half way down, when Vash took over and finished.
Jean couldn't tell if it was the beer or lust that was making her do this, but at this point in her life she didn't quite care.
Vash lend back down to Jean and started kissing her again. He could fell her hands run through his hair making it non-spiky. Vash left her lips and started kissing down her neck.
Jean lend up and took off her shirt and Vash in turn did the same. Jean was surprised at all the scares he had on his body, but she didn't care all she cared about was him.
Vash continued kissing down her neck and back up to her lips, but something was wrong. It just didn't feel right, he looked up into Jean's eyes and could tell that she felt the same way.
"This isn't right." Vash whispered to her as he rolled off of top of her and laid next to her.
"You feel it too." Jean questioned and Vash nodded. 'So do I." Jean finished scooting closer to him and laying her head on his chest. They stayed like that for the rest of the night.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Vash woke up the next morning and reached for Jean, but he shot up when he couldn't feel her. He looked around, but he couldn't find her. He stood up and reached for his shirt and walked outside. He walked into the other motel room and to his relief found Jean waking up Xena and Wolfwood.
"Oh there you are." Vash said with relief to see that she didn't leave him again.
Jean looked up at Vash. "Oh morning Vash, I didn't hear you come in." Jean smiled. 'Oh damn it Xe get your ass up." Jean yelled shaking Xena by the shoulders.
"Huh what?" Xena snorted as she opened her eyes." What time is it?" She asked.
"Almost noon." Jean replied.
"What?" Xena screamed with her eyes widen. "We have to get out of her and fast." She replied, jumping off of Wolfwood's lap and heading for the door." Morning Vash." Xena added and walked outside.
"Now him." Jean sighed as she started to wake up Wolfwood, "Come on her up." Jean finished pushing him on the floor, but he still wouldn't wake up. "Get him up." Jean said to Vash and followed after Xena.
Vash watched as Jean left the room and he went over to Wolfwood, grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him to his feet.
"WAKE UP." Vash screamed dropping Wolfwood on the bed, but he just bounced off and hit the floor. "Oh man." Vash wined.
Jean walked out of the motel and started after Xena. A few minutes later she found her by the car, ducking down. Jean ran over to her friend and ducked down.
"What's up Xe?" Jean whispered as she bent down next to her.
Xena didn't answer, just pointed over by the front of the motel as the main office. There, there were three guys in black suits and with guns.
"Oh no, what are we going to do now?" Jean asked trying to hold her fear back out of her voice.
"I'm not quite sure Jean, but if we do anything, if has to be now." Xena replied, standing up and ran over to the driver side. "Hurry go get the guys."
Jean nodded and ran back inside the motel and burst through the motel room door.
"Vash, Wolfwood, we have to go now. Knife's goons are in the office as we speak." Jean yelled, panicking, she just saw them heading her way.
Vash nodded and started for the door, behind Jean and with Wolfwood over his shoulder, he was still asleep.
They ran outside of the motel and over to the GTO, Xena was already for then and so Vash laid Wolfwood in the back seat and crawled in. Jean sat in the passenger side next to Xena. As soon as Jean closed the car door, Xena put the pedal to the metal and drove away from the motel, before Knife's men could realize that they were gone.
"Whoa that was too close." Jean said giving a sigh of relief. "Vash get him up." Jean shouted over the roar of the engine.
"I'll try." Vash answered and started to shake Wolfwood shoulders, but he still wouldn't wake up.
"Xe what did you do to him last night?" Jean asked.
Xena didn't answer, she just stared down the road.
"Xena? Are you alright?" Jean asked again, starting to get a little scared, "Xena?"
She turned her head to Jean and gave her the biggest, scariest grin ever.
"I'm not Xena." She said in a deep demonic voice and before Jean or anyone could answer, she turned the wheel sharp to the left and lifted the car.
