Well it turned out that I wasn't leaving, oh well. Anyway this chapter was supposed to clear things up a bit, with a little twist at the end. Yet even if you read this chapter and you think you know what's going to happen, trust me you don't. For the first time I am thinking ahead, so warning it won't be what you think. Also I don't understand how I can write this and people say its good when I was failing English for two years. But I guess miracles happen right? Well I want to say thanks for reviewing my story you guys out there. All your thoughts help me to write this story better so thanks. And hope you enjoy.

Dead Start

Chapter 7: Start of the War

Meryl wanted to comfort Cale, but she could think of nothing to say. He sat up in her bed hands over his eyes, but the tears leaked through the cracks and onto Meryl's bed.

"Ah, Dear, maybe you should go to school now, the teachers are probably worried," Ms. Stryfe called to Meryl and Millie. She could see that Cale needed to be alone.

"But Wolfwood said…" Meryl began but Ms. Stryfe interrupted her.

"Don't worry I will look after the boy," Ms. Stryfe reinsured. Seeing that Meryl wasn't going to win the battle she gathered up her things with Millie and headed back towards school. She wondered if she would meet that blond haired boy again, Vash. Wait, the thought as she stopped walking, we have his name now, we can finally look him up, and the other boy!

"Meryl what's the-"Millie asked, but was quickly whipped away by Meryl. They were running towards the school, but started to slow down when they saw two boys standing at the school gate. Oh no, thought Meryl, Vash and Wolfwood. Hearing the noise Meryl and Millie made when they ran, the two turned around to see two girls starring back at them.

"What are you doing here?" Wolfwood questioned Meryl, who was starring at her feet now.

"Well, you see my mom told us to go to school, I guess to give Cale some air, he was pretty depressed," Meryl muttered under the glare of Wolfwood.

"Yup, that's right you should have seen him, when he woke up he was in shock," Millie replied absentmindedly, starring back at Wolfwood smiling, which made Wolfwood stop glaring at Meryl.

"Not a surprise with what he went through," Vash whispered quietly, and also stared at his feet when Meryl looked up at him. Wolfwood was glaring at Vash, telling him to stop right there, for he didn't want the girls to know the information. Yet Vash didn't stop he went on, "think about it, he was attacked, and fighting for his life he killed someone. Why wouldn't he be shocked?" Vash was still looking down, knowing both Wolfwood and Meryl's eyes were glued onto him.

"Why was he attacked, did he do something bad?" Millie asked, failing to realize that Wolfwood didn't want to talk about it. Vash looked up at Millie, surprised to see her smiling and waiting for an answer. Vash gave Wolfwood a warning look before he answered Millie.

"You see, some people thought he was growing too strong too fast, they feared he might try to take over with this new found power," Vash explained, trying to ignore Meryl's steady gaze at him, but he couldn't. He gazed at her brown eyes, they were so beautiful, but he was painfully brought back to the real world when Wolfwood kicked him behind the knee, making him cringe. Wolfwood gave Vash his own warning look, one that made Vash realize the trouble he had put him and Wolfwood in.

He had just told two random girls that there was a murder attempt on Cale, but he instead killed the murder. If they did a little bit of research and identified Midvalley, then they would realize that Wolfwood and Vash were in the Dead Start gang. Heck they could tell the whole world, and then they would be investigated for the murder of Akito Jojo.

I stand corrected, thought Wolfwood, now were in deep stuff! Why did Vash have to blab his little mouth? We might as well tell them the whole story now…

"Look, now I don't know if we can trust you with this information, but it looks like we have no choice," Wolfwood sighed.

"Millie and I aren't people who go blabbing!" Meryl cried out offended, glaring at Wolfwood, who wanted to run away.

"Meryl's right, we don't do awful stuff like that!" Millie chimed in, and Wolfwood sighed again, these two were certainly rambunctious.

"You girls have heard of the gang Dead Start right?" Wolfwood asked, expecting them to at least heard of the gang.

"Yeah, who hasn't?" Meryl replied, wondering where this conversation was going.

"It's the number one gang for the last fifteen years, with rumors saying if you try to join you end up dead," Millie said, giving a little too much information needed.

"Right," Wolfwood said, staring at Millie with amazement, not many people even know that.

"The Dead Start gang is the ultimate gang to join, "Vash piped in seeing that Wolfwood was in loss of words, "but it's also a very strict gang, the only way anyone can join is if the former leader lets you."

"How do you know so much about the gang? Hardly any people know anything about it," Meryl asked, this was the information she was looking for, but weird that two guys they just met knew all this.

"Simple," Vash said, but was interrupted by Wolfwood, who put his hand on Vash's shoulder.

"Were in it!" Wolfwood beamed with pride, looking at Meryl's shocked face with amusement.

"I thought so," Millie cried out, astonishing everyone. Wolfwood and Vash just stared in amazement, while Meryl still looked shocked. After the stunned silence started to soak in Wolfwood continued.

"Cale was getting to be a great fighter, "Wolfwood explained, "so all the gang members except Vash started to worry that he would try to take over. It had happened once before, so we were very paranoia that it would happen again. Akito tried to kill the leader of our gang, and Cale showing his skills we were worried that he would try the same thing. But don't get us wrong our leader is an assume"

"You mean Akito Jojo," Meryl cried out in astonishment, seeing the surprised faces on Vash and Wolfwood, "sorry please continue." It was all beginning to make sense, thought Meryl; Akito was getting good and tried to kill the people in the gang, so he would be the leader. But they wouldn't let him, and he himself got killed.

"But Cale is not the only problem, " Vash said, "Akito's sister assumed it was the Dead Start gang who killed him, and she was right because she was in the plan of taking over the gang. But when Akito got killed she was devastated and swore revenge on the gang. Now we know that Cale wasn't her lackey, but who is she sending to do the dirty work?"

"Wait, Akito's sister is after you?" Meryl asked, now she had no idea what was going on anymore.

"Yeah, that little nuisance! She is so nasty, she told us she was going to find us and kill each and every one of us. Ha, I'd like to see her try," Wolfwood barked, he hated Aktio's sister, for what she and her brother did to some of the gang members.

"She was going to find you…" Meryl trailed off, thinking, "And kill you."

Wait! Meryl though, if she couldn't find you then… she would sent someone else, some one like me! Then that would mean our client is none other than Akito's sister! Meryl gapped in horror as she was being used to get revenge.

BANG!

"Wait…" Meryl screamed, but a huge blast noise interrupted her, suddenly she felt pain, and as she looked down she saw that her leg was bleeding, she had been shot! Vash and Wolfwood both turned around to see a girl with silvery hair laughing at them holding a smoking pistol.

It's her, Meryl thought as she hit the ground, Akito's sister, Kiki.
