still with me. It makes me so happy. Well here is the next chapter.
This is going to be a long one, might be the last I don't know yet. JM::
7. Festivals are fun, but deadly.
Xena and Wolfwood followed Jean into Terre Haute and about ten minutes later they pulled into an empty field and parked.
Vash was surprised to see how huge the festival was. He had never seen anything like it before. There were rides, tons of people and lots of smells. Vash's mouth started to water as he caught whiff of the very fresh, very tasty donuts.
"Oh man they have donuts." Vash replied trying not to drool.
Wolfwood walked over to him and laid a hand on his shoulder.
"Vash you are hopeless." Wolfwood remarked and Vash gave him a 'don't even start' look.
"Oh come on, this is going to be fun." Jean said grinning from ear to ear.
Jean walked over to Vash, grabbed his hand and pulled him away from Wolfwood and headed for the festival. Xena in turn did the same to Wolfwood.
For the rest of the night, Jean showed her sister and new found friends everything good about the festival. Jean beat the shit out of Vash at the Crusin' World games, but he got back at her. After Jean beat Vash for the tenth time, Vash walked over to one of the western games and beat Jean about fifteen times with the guns. Jean got so mad at him, she hates to lose, so she walked out of the arcade and over to the gaming booths. Vash followed after her and won her a huge ass teddy bear from the shooting booth, which made Jean talk to him again.
Xena dragged Wolfwood on a few rides, but after he rode the Scream, he had, had enough of the rides and went to look for Jean and Vash.
Around midnight or so they finally left the festival and walked down to the riverbank. Jean and Vash sat down cuddled in each others arms and watched the fireworks across the river. Xena and Wolfwood sat down next to them.
"Um can Vash and I have a few minutes alone, I need to talk to him." Xena said not looking away from the sky, when Jean shot her head away from the fireworks and to her with a horrid look on her face.
Wolfwood didn't say anything, just nodded his head and started for the cars. He's been wanting to talk to Jean away, so this was a good time to ask her.
Jean didn't move, she knew what Xena wanted and didn't want it to happen.
"Jean?" Xena said and very slowly Jean stood up and followed Wolfwood to the cars.
Xena and Vash watched as they disappeared over the hill. Xena scudded over, next to Vash as he laid on his back with his hands behind his head. He was staring up at the stars; he could feel the tension between them. but didn't mentioned it to her. Xena continued to get closer and closer to Vash until finally she was almost on top of him. Then without warning, Xena through her leg over Vash and sat right on top of him.
"Xen." Vash couldn't finish because Xena had put her lips to his. Vash couldn't believe she was doing this
If Vash had never met Jean, he probably would be kissing Xena back, but now, now that he knew Jean he wished he knew why Xena was doing this. Then finally Vash gained control of his body and pushed Xena off of him.
"What's wrong Vash, don't you want me?" Xena remarked grinning.
Vash could tell that this wasn't the same Xena as before.
"Xena what is wrong with you?" Vash asked.
"Oh come on Vash, let's have a little fun." Xena said, still grinning and started to crawl back over to Vash.
Vash shot up to his feet and just stared at her.
"Xena stop. This isn't right."
Xena stood up, ran up to him and jumped on him knocking him back on the ground.
"Come on Vash, you know you want to." Xena replied and she started to kiss him again.
Vash had to use all of his strength to pry Xena off of him and stood up.
"Xena will you stop, I'm with Jean." Vash yelled.
"Oh, can't you just forget about her, just for tonight?" Xena asked.
"NO, no, I....." Vash paused as it hit him, "...no I can't, I can't because." Vash stopped again as he collapsed to the ground.
"Because of what? Because you love her?" Xena said.
Vash looked up at her and Xena knew what she said was true. Vash did love Jean and he just now realized it.
"Well Vash, you'll the first who ever meant it." Xena smiled. "sorry about this whole thing, it deals with our family." Xena added. "I'm glad this turned out the way I hoped it would." Xena said. "I sooo didn't want to have to kill you." Xena finished as she stood up and started for the cars.
Vash shot up off the ground and pointed his gun at her.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? YOU DONE THIS BEFORE, YOU KILLED INCENECT MEN?" Vash screamed at her.
Xena turned around and just shook her head in disbelief.
"Innocent men? They weren't innocent; they would have dumped Jean in a blink of a pretty whore. You call them innocent, they were nothing but dogs, dogs that were meant to die." Xena yelled back.
"Even if they were, you didn't have the right to take away their lives." Vash yelled back.
"So I couldn't let them hurt anymore women, so what are you going to do about it? Vash I know your record, you can't even kill a flea without crying your eyes out." Xena yelled, turned back around, gave a soft chuckle and started walking again.
Vash let his arm fall to his side as he watched Xena disappear over the hill.
Jean sat down on a near by bench, she was so worried about what Xena was doing to Vash that second. She loved Vash, she loved him more then life itself.
Wolfwood sat down next to her; he could see the worry on her face and in her eyes. He didn't know if this was a good time to ask her since she had already too much to worry about.
Jean leaned back against the bench, laid her head on the back and stared up at the stars. She found the North Star and just stared at it without blinking.
About five minutes later, Xena came over the hill without Vash. Jean looked over at her and freaked out when she didn't see Vash. Without saying a word, she ran over to her vette and started it up. She pealed out of the field and was gone from view.
"Where in the hell is she going?" Xena asked Wolfwood, but didn't let him answer for she knew the answer. "Oh shit." Xena yelled and headed for the GTO. She stopped just short of the car. "Damn it, I don't know where in the hell she went." Xena shouted to herself as she kicked the left front tire.
Vash came over the hill to see Jean and her car gone. He walked over to Xena and Wolfwood.
"Where's Jean?" Vash asked as he stopped next to Wolfwood on the bench.
"She left." Xena answered, "I guess she seen me come over the hill and not you, she figured that I killed you." Xena said bushing off the tree trunk she was leaning against and over to the GTO. "Let's get back, maybe she's there already? Her aunt might know where she is." Xena finished as she opened the driver side door, got in, sat down and started the car up.
Vash and Wolfwood stood up and got into the GTO. Xena pulled out of the field and headed back towards West Terre Haute.
Xena pulled in Jean's aunt's driveway, turned the car off and walked up to the front door. Jean's aunt answered the door and was a little surprised to see Xena standing in front of her.
"Oh you're back?" She said surprised. "Where's Jean?"
"We don't know, she got mad and left. We have no idea where she got to." Xena answered.
"Oh she did? Don't worry she'll be back in the morning. She just needs some time alone." She said. "You three might as well come in and make yours comfortable, her grandma's not home." She finished and moved out of the way so they could walk in.
