Chapter 2 ::Meetings and Hellos::
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In a city called Hope, two former insurance
investigators talked about their adventures with the Humanoid Typhoon, Vash the
Stampede, an outlaw, a friend. 1 year ago Vash the Stampede left their lives to
go fight his maniacal twin brother Millions Knives, who by the way wanted to
wipe out the human race and make an Eden for his brother and
himself. Vash the Stampede and his twin brother Millions Knives are not human,
they are plants. No not the kind that grow in the ground but the kind that
power cities with their energy. These two former insurance investigators never
suspected that today they would see their friend the Humanoid Typhoon again.
'The man I love, Vash the Stampede, is a
goofball, broom-headed, donut eating baka!' "Wow isn't that romantic"
Meryl thought aloud.
"Meryl!" Milly was calling her downstairs.
'We live in a decent house with 3 bedrooms, 1 for Meryl, 1 for Milly, 1 for . .
. Vash.' 'If he ever came back Meryl thought grimly'.
"Meryyyll!" Milly was calling her again now louder.
"Coming!!" Meryl called back. 'I
wonder what's so important.' Meryl thought.
Meryl walked down the stairs briskly. Being
very curious Meryl started running down the stairs and on the bottom stair.
Meryl waited for the impact of floor with her face but it never came. She felt
two strong hands grab her waist firmly yet not hurting her at all. She knew
this couldn't be Milly because she wasn't that fast. Meryl's eyes were closed
tightly when she first started falling and now she started to open them and saw
a blond lanky yet muscular man with aqua green eyes staring into he violet grey
eyes. It took Meryl a moment two figure out who this was but when it hit her
she gasped.
'Wow looks like she's happy to see me' Vash
thought. Then Vash smiled a genuine smile that is hardly ever seen on Vash's
face. After 1 second it was gone and a goofy grin replaced the genuine smile.
"Hey 'former' insurance girl, I guess
you've fallen head-over-heals for me" Vash said to Meryl with a wink. 'Was
that a genuine smile I saw on Vash's face?' Meryl thought for a second before
what Vash said to her sunk in. Meryl blushed but it was gone just as fast as
Vash's Smile was.
"VASH THE
STAMPEDDDEEE!!!! PUT ME DOWN . . . NOWWWW!!!!" Meryl screamed in Vash's face.
"O.k. o.k. jeez, what's it that time of
the month?"
"WHAAAATT?!?! VASH YOU INSENSATIVE
PIECE OF-" Meryl got cut off by Milly.
"It's nice to have you back Mr.Vash, how
was your trip?'
"Well . . . you see . . . ummm" Vash
stumbled with his words.
"Spit it out you baka!" Meryl yelled
at Vash still a little mad about the crack he made about 'the time of the
month'.
"Well . . . ummm . . . Knives and I had a
gunfight and I won"
"What did you do with knives?" Meryl
asked suspiciously. Her brow went up a little in suspicion.
"I umm . . . patched him up . . . and I
put him on my shoulder and-" Vash said while rubbing the back of his head.
"Where is he NOW?!?!" Meryl was
afraid but she covered it up with anger.
"Well . . . you see . . . he's . . . on
the porch unconscious" Vash said in whisper and then ran out of the house
screaming "IMGONNADIEIMGONNADIEIMGONNADIE!!!"
"Oh yes you are VASH THE STAMPEDE!!!
Meryl screamed at the top of her lungs while running after Vash at top speed.
"Good ol'
times" Milly said reflecting on the times before Vash left to fight his
brother.
Meryl
chasing Vash
Oh Vaaaaaaaasssshhhh!!!! Meryl said in a
sing-song way.
'Oh crap, she's gonna find me' Vash thought in
an ally. The ally was small but big enough for a few people. The ally was dirty
but it would serve good as a hiding spot.' I hope'
Vash thought.
"Oh there you are Vash" Meryl said
with a sinister grin.
Vash turned around and screamed.
"Oh crap you found me!! Ahhhhhhh!!" Vash screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Come on it was my brother I couldn't
just let him suffer" Vash whined like a three year old begging his mom to
eat ice cream before dinner.
"Vash . . . ON OUR PORCH!!" Meryl screamed at the top of her lungs. 'Only Vash does this to her . . . only Vash.
I Know, I know" Vash whined.
"VASH, What are we gonna DO!! Meryl screamed.
Vash's back was facing a wall and his hands
were at his side. Meryl pinned him to the wall, hands on his shoulders. Meryl's
face was just inches from his and Vash just noticed how smooth Meryl's skin was
and he just stood there staring at her, day dreaming.
"Ya know Meryl
your skin is really smooth" Vash didn't know he said that out loud, and
then wondered why Meryl was blushing.
"Excuse me?" Meryl asked still
blushing. 'Oh my god did he just say I had smooth skin!' Maybe he likes m- no,
no, no don't get your hopes up Meryl he doesn't like a temperamental boring
women' the pessimistic part of her mind said.
'Did I say that out loud?!?!' Vash's mind was
racing. 'Oh my god I did!!!' 'Crap how am I gonna get out of this one?!' 'O.k.
o.k. think Vash, think . . . aww crap I got nothing!'
'Vash?' Meryl waved a hand in
front of Vash's face. "Vash, Are you there?" 'What's he thinking about?'
"Yeah?" Vash snapped back to reality . . . finally
Never mind lets just go back home ok?" Meryl really forgot why she wanted to kill Vash and besides, she was tired and a soft bed was waiting for her. Meryl backed away from Vash so he could get out of her restraint.
"Yeah, sure what time is it?"
Meryl looked at her watch and it read 11:30pm.
"Wow, it's already 11!" Meryl said
surprised.
"Wow, we better hurry bandits and robbers
come out around this time" Vash said worried for Meryl's well being. 'Wow
that was awkward, I can't believe I actually said she had smooth skin out loud,
at least that's over' Vash thought relieved.
Meryl shivered, the night was cold. Vash
noticed her shiver. 'Maybe this is the right time to make my move' With that thought Vash moved closer and put his arm around
Meryl. Vash felt her tense up and said to her "your cold".
"Thanks" Meryl said trying not to
sound surprised but failing miserably.
"No problem" Vash said in a whisper,
barely audible. Obviously Meryl heard it and Vash noticed she loosened up right
after Vash said it. 'good, she's loosened up' 'and I
didn't get slapped, that's a plus!' Vash thought to himself optimistically.
When they got to the house, everything was
quiet. Vash and Meryl figured that Milly went to sleep earlier. Vash took his
arm off Meryl and noticed that Meryl went to her room. Vash wasn't really
sleepy so he went to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and have a donut. 'or two' Vash thought innocently.
A little while later Meryl came into the
kitchen in her pajamas (that shirt that she wore on the sand steamer) and she
had her hair down (her hair was up before). Vash was taken back her beauty; she
let her raven hair grow down to her shoulders and her hair was wavy. She also
filled in, in a few places which made Vash's mouth grow wider. As soon as Vash
noticed that his mouth was open he closed it quickly before Meryl noticed.
"Want some coffee?" Vash asked
trying to get his mind off of Meryl's slender body.
"Yeah, that's why I came downstairs. I
couldn't get to sleep" Meryl answered, yawning completely oblivious to the
fact that Vash's mind was elsewhere when he asked the question. "Where's
the coffee?" Meryl asked Vash.
"On the counter" Vash answered with
his mind slowly coming back to reality.
"Thanks" Meryl politely answered.
After Meryl got her coffee she sat down
directly across from Vash. While getting situated in her chair he bare smooth leg rubbed against Vash's leg and she quickly
mumbled "sorry" and they both started blushing furiously.
'Wow, she's cute when she blushes' Vash
thought, his mind going back to thinking about Meryl's slender body. 'Crap, I
better stop thinking about that' Vash mentally slapped him self for having
hormones.
"Meryl?" Vash asked trying to start
a conversation with Meryl.
"What?!" Meryl asked taken by
surprise at the use of her name.
"I'm sorry did I startle you?" Vash
asked Meryl, with concern written all over his face. You could see it in his
face that he was concerned for Meryl . . . he loved her.
"No, it's just that's the first time you
used my given name" Meryl said with a sigh. Vash noticed Meryl's sigh and
apologize quickly.
"I'm sorry, I never knew" Vash said
to Meryl with caring in his voice
"It's ok, what did you want?" Meryl
said curiously to Vash. Meryl had no idea of what he was going to say next.
"Well I noticed that I know almost
nothing about you. I want to know more about you I mean" Vash said
sincerely. Vash really didn't know that much about her and she didn't know much
about him.
"Well, I don't know you that well either
so why don't we get to know each other?" Meryl said, really wanting to
know more about the man she loved. Yeah she knew about the SEEDs
ship, Knives, and that he's not human but she didn't know his favorite movie,
or drink . . . stuff like that.
"Sounds great" Vash said in a high
pitched goofy voice that was plainly Vash, well ONE side of Vash. The one he
shows more often.
"O.k. well, what is your favorite
movie?" (In my story they have movies & theaters) Meryl asked Vash,
trying to start the conversation with something easy.
"Lassie, the poor dog" Vash
whimpered after his answer.
"Oh you baby, it's just a movie"
Meryl said cold heartedly to Vash.
"Oh you're so cold" Vash said with a
little grin he was trying to keep from Meryl.
"Well what's your favorite movie?"
Vash asked, blushing from the answer he gave and trying to look at something
other that Meryl. 'Oh look a vase' Vash thought to himself trying to redirect
his mind. 'God, why does Meryl have to be so beautiful?!'
Vash thought screaming to himself.
"Well, my favorite movie is 'Bad Boys' 1
& 2" Meryl said proudly.
"So you like 'Bad Boys' huh?" Vash
said seductively and totally out of character.
"VASH?!" Meryl screamed in a
whisper trying not to wake Milly, and trying to hide the cherry red blush
creeping up her cheeks.
"What it was an honest question?"
Vash said, seductive grin growing wider when he noticed her blush.
"Hmph"
Meryl made a noise and coldly said "good-night-to-you!" to Vash and
walked to her room stomping as hard as she could while still making it quiet
enough not to wake Milly.
"Good night . . . Meryl" Vash said
her name once more. It sent a tingle through his mouth. With that he also got
up and went to bed his mind on Meryl.
