Author's Note- Hey! Ok I don't have much to say, so let's just get on with
it.
Love Is Complicated
By: Cobalt-eyedAngel
"Repeated tragedies, repeated pain, the wishes of man are so strong and yet so frail and weak. To live, to stay alive, who would have known survival was this hard...this painful? I must choose. I must make the choice, in the moment that intertwines life and death. Can I choose to remain a human?"

"I really like you two, and I think before you decide to stay with me and be my friends, that you should know my secret." Kouki took a breath. "I'm not of this Earth-"
"None of us our." Vash interrupted. "Oh, sorry, go ahead."
"What I mean is, I'm not human."
Vash's eyes widened a bit.
"I'm a hybrid plant alien." Kouki wasn't looking at either Vash or Meryl and she kept taking gulps of air. "My mother and father gave me to a friend working for a project called Project Seeds. They wanted me to live on Paradise, so they froze me and then they left me in the care of their friend, Rem."
"Rem?" Vash choked out. This girl...was just like him?
"Rem Saverem." Kouki nodded then looked up at Vash.
"You both are the same." Meryl finally spoke up, looking back and forth between Vash and Kouki.
"The same?" Kouki questioned.
"Vash is also a plant. And he knew Rem Saverem, and he was aboard the Seeds ship." Meryl explained.
"You! You're a plant too? Just like me?" Kouki's eyes lit up and she stared wonderingly at Vash.
"Yeah." Vash said still in a daze. Kouki was just like him and...Knives. But I killed Knives... Vash winced and then smiled at Kouki's bright face. "How old are you?"
"One hundred and twenty-one." Kouki chirped. "How old are you?"
"One hundred and thirty-three." Vash said then yawned. "I'm going to bed." By now the train had started and it was almost dark. But his brain was too full and his muscles ached from all the walking. He hadn't traveled in a long time.
"Me too!" Kouki was still happy, that Vash doubted she would be able to sleep.
"I'm going to go check on Milly and the others." Meryl said and got up. "Night Kouki." And she smiled at the girl. She walked out of the room and let the door close quietly behind her.
"I like her." Kouki said looking at me. It was weird, her stare, like she cold tell exactly what I was thinking just by looking into my eyes. I wish she could tell me, because I was so cluttered I didn't know what to think.
Vash was silent, not knowing what to say, so Kouki kept talking. "She sort of reminds me of my mom. But I can tell she has a fierce side to her, like my daddy."
"Tell me about your family. Any siblings?" Vash said trying to get the subject off Meryl.
"Two brothers, actually I'm looking for them. My mother and Daddy told me to find them and we can help create paradise with the humans, and we can all live in peace. They were on the ship, not frozen like me, their twins too. One is named Knives...and the other...hmmm, I can't remember." Kouki furrowed her brow in thought.
"Me!" I leapt up with joy and she gave me a puzzled look. "I'm your brother! I'm a plant, I was awake on the Project Seeds, and I have a twin named Knives!"
"You!" She now also leapt up into a big hug. "Big brother! I've missed you so much, now we can create paradise with the humans!"
Meryl walked in a shut the door behind us. "Um. Sorry, Am I interrupting something?"
"Insurance girl! Meet my sister!" Vash said happily, tears streaming down his face.
"Meryl! Meet my big Brother!" Kouki said equally as happy, but her face was dry.
Meryl smiled at them with an 'I knew it!' look. "That's nice. I could see the resemblance. Well, we should get some rest." She shook out her sleeping bag and unraveled it on the floor.
"No! Take Vash's bed! Big brother, how could you let a young lady sleep on the floor?!" Kouki said glaring at Vash.
"No! That's okay! This isn't even my cabin, I'm just in here because it's full in my cabin." Meryl explained.
"It's alright. I've slept worse places." Vash said crawling inside of Meryl's sleeping bag.
"Hey! You idiot! That's my sleeping bag that I'm going to be sleeping in." Meryl glared at him. Vash pretended to snore and then he rolled over and drooled. "Hey! Don't drool in my sleeping bag!"
"Don't worry," Kouki smiled at Meryl and the way Vash was acting. "Goodnight Meryl, goodnight big brother!"
"Night little sis!" Vash said then went back to snoring.
Meryl climbed into Vash's made bed and settled down. She hit Vash upside the head and he stopped snoring. "Stupid." She couldn't help but smile, and was glad the lights were off.
"Damn...abusive...woman..." Vash mumbled. He smiled and sniffed the pillow his head was lying on. It smelt like Vanilla and watered rose petals. Meryl...
Author's Note- Srry if this took a long time, but I have Writer's Block on this story!! AHH! So my update might take a while. My apologies. Review!
