Well here is the next installment of Trigun-Spirit of Fire for all you
happy peoples you.
Chapter 7
The Morning Blues
The 1st sun rose above the horizon slowly as Vash stared up at the ceiling. He couldn't sleep. The fact that Raye had been taken by Knives was keeping him awake. Sitting up his blonde locks fell over his eyes slightly as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and swung his legs around. Looking up he saw Serena and Amy sleeping on the floor. Milly and Meryl had went back to their room figuring it was better to sleep in their own beds. It had been a long night. When he could sleep all he could dream of was Raye. Some of them where memories of the temple and others where nightmares he was curtain his brother was sending him. Amy was the first one to move out of the two not to far after he had sat up. Sitting up her blue hair was everywhere as she too rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
"*yawn* Morning Vash *yawn*," Amy said sitting up which awoke Serena.
"Amy...*grumble* I need my sleep...*grumble*," She turned over and seemed like she was going back to sleep.
"Raye was kidnapped last night," Amy said which made Serena jump up sending blankets all about them, covering Amy's head making Vash chuckle. She was this princess that was going to save the universe and had saved the universe a million times? She acted like him a lot of the time he noticed though he did it to hide the pain and she did it cuz that was who she was.
"Yeah...yeah we've got to get going!" Serena said standing up in her Sailor Moon pose. That's when Milly burst into the room with a coffee pot in her hand and Meryl in toe behind her rubbing her eyes and yawning.
"Morning everyone!" Milly chimed making everyone groan in the room. "I made coffee!"
"Sorry we don't drink coffee," Serena said as Amy nodded. Amy stood up stretching and slowly began to pack her things in the bag.
"Are we already going Mr. Vash?" Milly asked as Vash stood up nodding.
"My brother is waiting for me," He said slipping on his coat and pulling out a brush with some gell and began to stand his hair up on end like he normally did. Serena walked in the bathroom and came out ready to go in her clothes and her hair was done up nicely. Amy just brushed her hair and quickly changed in the bathroom once Serena was done. Meryl and Milly had come to the room ready to Meryl's advice. Vash just stood there in front of the mirror as a sad picture of Raye after he had learned her grandfather would be dieing entered his mind. He hung his head low. That girl needs him ...and he needs her. He hoped Knives wouldn't be stupid enough to lay a hand on her.
************************************************
Knives stood proudly looking up laughing to himself. She hadn't awoken yet. Reaching up he touched the glass of the shell. Yes...he was a genius. Vash would come to him, and he would finish what was needed to be done and then all three of them could enter Eden together. He pressed his face against the glass of the shell to see Raye clearer. There she float in the middle of the plant he normally used, her black locks waving about her body as she huddled in a fetal position seemingly sleeping. The girl had passed out from exhaustion not to long after he had taken her. Those bullet wounds had done the trick to keep her from fighting back. He knew she would survive, he could feel that. Knives had tried turning a normal human into one of his kind earlier on just to see how worthless they really where. The human drowned within the first 5 minutes of being placed in there. She was breathing and seeming to prosper in the plant.
Yes....
His brother had found quit a gem. With the added plant powers to her and a little brainwashing she could be his and his alone. Now it was just to deal with his brother and convince him that the girl was his so they could all live in harmony. Turning he went to sit down on a chair and once again send things to Vash about how she had cried out his name till she passed out and a few things he had made up just to tick his brother off to get him there sooner. Yes soon everything would be as it should.
**************************************************
"But its sooooo hot, why can't we ride in a car..." Serena wined.
"Because Serena," Amy said typing a few things in on her computer. "Cars are a rare commodity here on planet Gunsmoke."
"Then..." Serena said her voice sparkling with an idea. "You transform into Sailor Mercury and use the mist power and keep us cool." Amy closed her computer shaking her head.
"The suns on this planet would suck all the water I can produce into the air. You wouldn't even notice I used the power."
"This sucks." Serena said.
"Now you know how we feel," Meryl said taking a sip of her canteen. "Where exactly are you guys from if you can't stand this heat?" Amy just chuckled looking at Vash for an explanation.
"Quit far away guys," Vash said. "They have trees and stuff there so it isn't as hot as it is here."
"O, sounds wonderful!" Milly said clapping her hands together. Serena nodded.
"It's really nice there," She said rubbing the back of her neck to wip the sweat away. "How long until the next town?"
"About a day," Vash said taking the canteen from Meryl and taking a drink out of it. "That hit the spot." They just walked quietly for the rest of the day. Every once and a while they would see fellow travelers and wave at them or lend some assistance to a person who needed help. Night fell as they neared some strange formation of rocks in the middle of the desert. "Ahh yes, this is a nice spot."
"What do you mean? It's just a bunch of rocks," Meryl said frowning. "Have you lost your mind already Vash?"
"No just my heart..." He sighed dreamily then went into a manic laugh which made everyone around him step away a few feet and stare.
"Actually," Amy broke in stopping Vash's manic laugh. "That rock reading has a high level of water on the inside."
"Exactly!" He said with a delighted smile. "Its the hidden oasis." He turned to the last setting sun upon the horizon. "We should head in there before the desert worms come out." Meryl nodded.
"...Desert Worms?!" Serena and Amy said in shock. Vash climbed up on one of the rocks and disappeared into the rock face. Amy climbed up next and looked at the rock face seeing a small entrance not visible to the ground and waved everyone up. Everyone walked in and gasped in ah as they walked in to see the inside cavern was aglow from some weird type organism who glowed and lived on the rock face. About 10 yards away seemed to be a small spring.
"Wow..." Serena said looking about. "This is beautiful."
"I know," Vash said with a smile and sitting down. "I was going to take Raye here today if she hadn't been kidnapped on our quest to find my brother so we can get her home." With those last words he stopped. It finally hit him. What was going to happen to them? He lived on Gunsmoke, not Earth but she lived on Earth. Could he risk leaving this planet...his brother...to live with Raye again. Closing his eyes he took in a long breath. Why did everything have to be tough for him?
***************************************
Well there it is. What's going to happen to Raye?! That answer and more in the next chapter. Sorry for such two short chapters but its building up to something. Review before you leave and as always thanks for taking the time to read one of my stories.
