Well I just want to warn you people who are reading this chapter is umm kinda all about Midvalley's death, so be warned. But I had it this way because it's the first death that wasn't necessary, but anyway no worries next chapter only the first part is going to be on the death, then it will get straight into the action. Anyway I'm so glad that people actually like the story! See I'm really bad at writing but I seem to be doing ok here! So hope you enjoy.
Dead Start
Chapter 5: Why?
"Now Vash, how many times do I have to tell you to stop your gang fighting," the nurse at the infirmary nagged, grabbing some ice for Vash's bruised head. The nurse turned around to find that the bed was empty, and the window was wide open. Terrified the nurse ran to the window, a twenty-five foot drop.
"VASH!" Screamed the nurse, poking her big head out the window, but she had no reply.

"Meryl what's that boy' name?" Millie asked, standing in a dark office next to a stack of student records.
"Ah…" Meryl tried to reply, but then realizing she never got that spiky haired idiot's name, "oh no Millie, I didn't get his name!" Meryl was now pounding her head against the wall, they knew where to look, but not the name to look under.
"No problem Meryl, we just have to go find him again," Millie said sounding slightly intelligent, watching Meryl hit her head repeatedly.
"I guess we should get going," Meryl muttered, walking like gravity had just increased, while Millie skipped after Meryl.
"You know what Meryl, I like that guy," Millie confessed, "what do you think?"
"I think he's a suspicious punk," Meryl declared, knowing Millie didn't like the guy as in a relationship but more as an older brother. Meryl didn't know whether she liked this blond haired punk, she was afraid of her thoughts because she badly wanted to see him again. The thought of wanting to see him again scared Meryl more than the Dead Start gang, to tell the truth Meryl wasn't sure if she actually liked him. No,Meryl thought, how could anyone like that dumb punk, I just met him! Millie watched Meryl closely as they walked, she could see that Meryl was troubled about the boy.
"I think you do like him. Meryl," Millie observed not implying Meryl was crushing on him, but rather she didn't mind him around.
"Millie, who in the right mind would like a stupid boy like that," Meryl protested angrily, stomping on to the school grounds as the lunch bell rang. The weird thing about the school was it acted more like a daycare than a school. They teachers just watched the students go around wherever they wanted, and if they did want to learn something, there were usually two classes open. Students could do anything they wanted at this school; they didn't even have to learn. Most students just sat around in there gangs and smoked, waiting for an upcoming fight or something like that.
As Meryl stepped out into the bright sunlight she wondered where that punk could be, forgetting he was in the infirmary last time they saw him. She began wandering around the grounds, searching for a blond spiky haired boy.
---------------------
Wolfwood was in complete shock, finding one of the Gung-ho guns dead, here in a pile of rubble, holding his once loved saxophone. The expression on his face was burned into Wolfwood's memory forever, he looked terrified. For the first time in Wolfwood's life he saw Midvalley scared, but now it was too late, he would never see his calm face anymore, never again. The saxophone Midvalley held was completely battered, sliced, and little bullet holes decorated forever into the musical item.
Wolfwood collapsed on the ground, and just sat there for a few minutes starring off into space. Wolfwood had seen many brutal fights, and a couple deaths, but none of them hit him as hard as this one did. For the first time Wolfwood considered leaving the Dead Start gang, but he quickly thought better of it. If he quit Knives would get angry at him, and Vash would be devastated. Wolfwood began to wonder if what Vash said was right, Cale didn't seem like such a bad kid, did he really deserve this?
No, he didn't, Wolfwood though angry that something like this happened without him knowing. BAM! Wolfwood slammed his fist as hard as he could down on a piece of cement. Yet all he felt was his hand throbbing painfully. Why did Knives have to do this WHY, Wolfwood screamed inwardly. It didn't make any sense, Wolfwood told Knives to stay cool for a little bit while he thought of a way to deal with Cale. Why did Knives assign Midvalley to murder Cale? Was Cale that big of a threat?
"DAMNIT!" Wolfwood howled pounding his fist again on the cement.
"Wolfwood?" a voice called from around the corner, no, NO! Wolfwood wanted to scream, but Vash had already come around the corner.
"Wolfwood what's…" Vash began, but abruptly stopped and stood in horror at the blood and rubble the alleyway had turned into. Vash was petrified, and gasped in dismay at the crimson blood that stained the alleyway. Vash headed towards the body that lies in the middle of the dark alleyway, taking slow steps. Tears leaked from his eyes as he saw Cale's tattered and torn body, Vash grieved sadly until Wolfwood spoke up.
"He's alive," he whispered, watching Vash feel for a heart beat, "but this one's dead," he pointed indicating to Midvalley's body. Vash slowly rose, stepping over the rubble to look at the body Wolfwood indicated. Vash took one look, before he also collapsed on his knees, starring at the lifeless body of one of the Gung-ho guns, Midvalley.
Both Vash and Wolfwood didn't like Midvalley very much. He was always really cocky, and brutally beat up people for fun. He said he had the right to beat people who were in weaker gangs, when Vash asked him why he beat up people all the time. But now Vash would never see Midvalley again, never hear his cocky laugh, or see his insane grin. It was over for Midvalley, he had finally found another person who could beat him.
"Vash," Wolfwood stuttered, "h-he sent him…" was all Wolfwood could say to comfort Vash, knowing it wouldn't do anything. Why, Vash though, why did it have to end like this? Why couldn't I save him?
"WHY!?" Vash screamed, as hot tears leaked from his eyes, dripping onto the blood stained cement.
