-Chapter 2- -Sorrow-

Knives had left Vash there. Vash sat there crying and wished that Meryl and Milly would be okay once he found them. He thought for a long time, and then cried. He had a bad feeling in his gut that something bad was going to happen to him, the girls, or knives. He wasn't sure which one.
Vash searched for three whole days and remembered one place he had not looked. The place he had not looked in was the ruins of the City of July.
"Why would he hide them there?" Vash thought to himself, "That bastard he planned the whole thing! The City of July, that towns almost 10,000 isles west! Damn! I'll never get there in time! But I must, I have to keep moving!"
He headed towards the ruins even though it would take him three more days to get there. He traveled on and on until he got tired and laid down to rest in the sand.
Vash had woken up 2 days later with sand all over his face and jacket. He sat there thinking what Knives would do to them but he could not even bear thinking about it. Since he had lost two days due to sleep he had to add on three more days of journeying on top of two days which would equal out to five days without food.
After one day of walking he finally came to a town...sadly it was abandoned.
"Geez now where am I supposed to get food from!?!" Vash yelled.
Then from the corner of his eye he saw a young girl who looked as if she had lost her way.
"Excuse me, little girl? Where might I be able to find some food?" Vash asked.
"Uhh... maybe over there mister...."said the little girl.
"Uhh...Thanks little girl" Vash said and began to walk away.
"No problem...Vash the Stampede!" yelled the little girl.
Vash turned around as fast as he could and gave her a surprised look. The girl looked back at him and smiled with a smirk.
"How'd you know my name?" asked Vash as he put on his glasses.
"Easy! My Boss!" replied the girl.
"And who might your boss be?" asked Vash.
"You'll have to find that out yourself! But while were standing here chatting I will warn you that I am the forth Gun hoe Gun, and they call me Little Sniper!" Little sniper yelled at Vash.
"Well, then I guess you want to fight?" asked Vash.
"Indeed I do!" replied little Sniper.
"Let's get this over with!" Vash yelled.
Little Sniper took out sniper guns and a laser gun and began shooting at Vash with everything she had. Vash took out his gun but got shot in the shoulder with one of Little Snipers bullets He then fell to the ground and got shot in his side and his leg. Vash yelled in pain.
"So, have you given up yet?" asked little Sniper.
Vash just stayed down on the ground grinding his teeth from the pain.

"Heh so much sorrow in your heart? Well, I can fix all that! All I have to do is KILL YOU!" yelled Little Sniper.
Vash began to slowly get up. He was still grinding his teeth from the pain. He held up his gun and aimed it at her guns. He shot one sniper gun, then the other. But he didn't have enough bullets to get rid of the laser gun. He had none left.
Little Sniper aimed her laser gun at Vash and then shot. The laser cut deep into his side. Vash hit a wall and was knocked out. Little Sniper left him there to die.
