Hey y'all! Thanks for reviewing. Special thanks to:
kawaiirock86- Wow, that is a really nice compliment. Usually my teachers say that I write too much, but this is nice. I like to write things in detailed.
Psychobunnygrl113- Sorry I don't have any stories. This is actually my second story. I used to go under another name and I had another story in progress but it got deleted. So once I'm finished with this one, I'll start another one as soon as I can, kay? And no problem about the spelling errors. LOVE YA!!!
Kawaiibabe14- Vash is extremely hot! Makes me wish even harder that he were for real…and my boyfriend. I wish they could make a Trigun movie; that'd be so awesome. Twenty-six episodes aren't enough! (; . ;)
crossfire- Thank you very much! My dad would probably go ballistic and have a brain aneurism.
Demon Eyes- Well since Vash and Meryl know they love each other and it was just a misunderstanding, I don't think anything can go wrong with them. With Knives and Jessica, can you say the word fight? Action sequence coming up real soon. It's not in this chapter, but it will probably be in the next.
Dragon of Sesshomaru- Ooohh…hope you didn't get any cavities.
vashluver1- I don't think they'll do anything regrettable. They'll probably take precautions. I loved writing this chapter. So much amour…
Pyro- Oopsy! Hehehehe…my mistake. When I do the spell check thingy, it's always correcting it to all right. I'm not gonna bother correcting it. I'm feeling too lazy. Just trying to soak up whatever vacation time I have left. But thanks; for the past couple of days, it only took me one day to do one chapter because I had so much free time and I stay up extremely late too so more time for moi!
KeNsHiNs GuRl- I know, isn't it great! Now I don't feel depressed anymore writing the chapters because my favorite couple is back together!
Me: Alrighty then! Who would like to do the disclaimer this time?
Kuroneko: Nyao!
Everyone: (sweatdrop)
Me: Okay, I guess you could…
Kuroneko: Nyao, nyao, nyao, nyao, "doesn't own Trigun or any of its characters." Nyao, nyao.
Everyone: (?.?)
Me (mumbles): Yeah, like anyone could've understood that.
Kuroneko: Stupid bitch!
Me: o.O What did you say?!
Kuroneko (clears throat): Nyao, nyao, nyao…
Chapter 13: Unexpected News
"Isn't this wonderful Nick? Everyone is so happy now!" said Milly cheerfully. Once again, Wolfwood was in the driver's seat and Milly sat next to him.
"Yes it is honey," sighed Wolfwood. Now he could sleep on his own bed instead of on the hard floor. Plus he wouldn't have to worry about Vash. There was only one problem left… "Dammit you guys! Can't you wait until you get a room?" Wolfwood growled angrily. In the rearview mirror, Meryl looked at Wolfwood innocently.
"What? We're not bothering you are we?" and Meryl pulled Vash on top of her again.
"It's embarrassing to be driving out like this. Everyone can see you out in broad daylight," said Wolfwood. Vash sat up straight, his lipstick smeared lips parted.
"Really?" and Vash turned to look outside the window. A five-year old was staring back out at Vash and pointing.
"Mommy, mommy! Look at the weirdo man wearing lipstick! Daddy says that boys who wear girl's stuff are gay! Is he gay Mommy?" Vash turned beat red and buried his face in Meryl's shoulder.
"Make it stop," he whined.
"Now, now dear. That isn't a very nice thing to say. You just have to respect other peoples' personal preferences." Wolfwood burst into a fit of raw laughter. Milly snorted and giggled. Meryl was the loudest. She was laughing so hard that tears were streaming from her eyes.
"AHAHAHAHAHA!!! That was so funny!" laughed Meryl. "That little girl thought you were…were…GAY!!!!" Wolfwood and Milly had by then stopped laughing and were now eying Meryl concernedly.
"See, this is what I have to put up with," said Vash, whose ego was quite bruised. Meryl got her laughter under control and snuggled up to Vash.
"I'm sorry baby. I couldn't help it. How can I ever make it up to you?" said Meryl.
"Well," said Vash mischievously, "you can do a striptease for me." Wolfwood started coughing harshly.
"Oh my, are you alright?" asked Milly.
"(cough, cough) Pervert! (cough, cough)." Vash narrowed his eyes.
"I heard that Wolfie!" said Vash and he quickly clamped his hand over his mouth. Meryl sighed exasperatedly. He'll never learn.
"I-uh-mean-uh…" stammered Vash.
"You just wait until we get to the park you dumb jerk. You better hope and pray that you don't go down," snarled Wolfwood. They reached the park and Meryl and Milly hopped out. The girls grabbed the food and blanket while Vash was trembling on the other side of the car staring at the death glare Wolfwood was giving him.
"You have ten seconds," growled Wolfwood. Vash gave a yelp and sprinted off. Meryl and Milly placidly found a spot to lay the blanket and sat upon it.
"Ten…nine…eight, two, one! I'm coming you crazy idiot," and Wolfwood ran after Vash.
"You lousy cheating priest!" shouted Vash.
"What was that Needle-Noggin?" yelled Wolfwood. The girls giggled.
"Those two," said Meryl, "I sometimes wonder if they're actually seventeen."
"I know what you mean," giggled Milly. "Have you ever seen Nick whining? It's absolutely funny! He would never admit it though." Just then, a girlish scream pierced through the air. Meryl shook her had. They were lucky that there weren't many people around. Those that were around were staring at the two wrestling men.
"Don't mind them. They're just fooling around," Meryl said, embarrassed as hell. The people laughed nervously and went back to their own business. Eerugh, thought Meryl.
"Should we do something?" asked Milly. Meryl waved her hand
"Nah, let them beat each other up," said Meryl. They watched Wolfwood, who was obviously winning, put Vash into another painful leg lock. The girls plugged their ears as Vash let out a scream.
"C'mon you big baby! Scream for you mother!" Wolfwood said harshly.
"MOMMY!!!" cried Vash and started pounding his fists like a baby. Just then the same five-year old girl that saw Vash wearing lipstick stopped. She started shaking her Mom's hand.
"Look Mommy! There's the gay man that I saw. I toldja! I toldja!" squealed the girl. Wolfwood and Vash paused from what they were doing.
"Clara, that's enough. How many times-" The mother looked at Wolfwood, who was on top of Vash, picked up her daughter and started walking away quickly. Clara turned around in her mother's embrace and waved her hand back at Vash.
"Bye Mr. Gay Man!" Clara said. Vash felt like crying.
"I'm not gay. I have a girlfriend," whimpered Vash. "Stupid girl." Vash half yelped and half screamed when Wolfwood bent Vash's leg.
"Never…ever…say…that…about…an…innocent…child…ever!" Wolfwood said, making each word clear with a tug of Vash's leg. Vash was by then bawling his brains out.
"Hey, let's eat already," Meryl called.
"Yeah, let's eat already. Enough Vash bashing for today," whined Vash. Meryl thought they were ignoring her.
"I brought DONUTS and BEER!!!" shouted Meryl.
"Beer?" squealed Milly happily.
"I'm bribing them," Meryl said through gritted teeth. Sometimes Milly could be such an airhead. I wonder if Milly is a natural brunette, thought Meryl. Throughout the whole park, two excited shouts could be heard.
"DONUTS?!" exclaimed Vash.
"BEER?!" exclaimed Wolfwood. They started racing each other towards the girls. Vash started pushing Wolfwood around since he was slightly in front. "What the hell?" snapped Wolfwood. They weren't watching where they were going and they tripped over Milly's outstretched leg. The two bumbling idiots flew head first into the ground.
"Oops! Sorry," said Milly nervously. Vash and Wolfwood slowly got up groaning.
"Truce?" asked Vash tiredly and held out his hand.
"Truce," said an equally tired Wolfwood and they shook hands. They dragged their feet towards the blanket and collapsed.
"Donuts…"
"Beer…"
"Sorry boys! I was just kidding. I needed to say something to get you guys over here," said Meryl.
"So cruel," Wolfwood and Vash muttered.
Just as Meryl was about to enter her fourth period class, someone shouted her name.
"Meryl!" Meryl turned her head towards the voice. It was Lina.
"Yes?" asked Meryl. She was still pretty precautious about Lina. It was hard to trust someone who used to be friends with her mortal enemy.
"There's something I need to tell you," said Lina. She seemed very serious.
"What is it?" Meryl asked curiously.
"I overheard Jessica talking about you and Vash. She said that she tricked you into believing that Vash was hers-"
"It's alright Lina. I know that," said Meryl.
"You do? You know that Jessica had planned this with Knives and-"
"Knives? He was in this too?" Meryl asked. How dare he! How dare he that bastard!
"Yeah. Jessica thought that if she got Vash, Knives would be free to claim you as his girlfriend. You know he's been mad about you ever since you came here," said Lina. Meryl was shocked. Okay, she knew that Knives had liked her a lot but for that long? I'm gonna slaughter that bitch… "Meryl? Meryl?" Lina waved a hand in front of her face. "You okay?" Meryl shook her head.
"I'm fine Lina. I really am." Just as she was about to walk into the classroom, she stopped. "Thank you Lina, for being honest. Why-"
"Why did I help you?" asked Lina. "Well it's quite simple really. No one deserves the kind of abuse that you've taken. We shouldn't have taken our jealously out on you. It was wrong and I'm terribly sorry." Lina glanced up at Meryl's face and gave a small smile. "Plus who can stand in the way of love?"
"Thank you," Meryl whispered. Lina smiled again and went to class. Now I'm really, really pissed off at you now Jessica, thought Meryl.
"What's wrong Meryl? Are you okay?" asked Milly while they were getting their lunch. All Meryl could think about was how to murder Jessica. She really sent me to hell and back.
"Yeah short stuff. You on your monthly or something?" said Wolfwood.
"What did you say, Wolfie?" snarled Meryl. Wolfwood slightly backed away.
"My bad," he muttered.
"Hey! How come you don't put her in a leg lock and yet I get the abuse for calling you Wol-" Wolfwood growled. "I mean that name which you condemn," Vash finished cheekily. Wolfwood slung both arms around Milly and Meryl.
"Well Vash, tell me, what's the difference between these two lovely babes and you?" said Wolfwood. Boy was Milly and Meryl sucking up to Wolfwood. They wrapped their arms around Wolfwood's waist and looked back at Vash innocently.
"They're girls and I'm not?" said Vash dryly.
"Precisely," beamed Wolfwood. Meryl let go of Wolfwood and hugged Vash.
"Don't worry Vash. Even if you scream like a girl and act like a sissy, I still love you," said Meryl.
"Why do I put up with the abuse?" moaned Vash. Meryl trailed her fingers up and down his chest.
"Because you love me," Meryl murmured. Vash stole a kiss from her and smiled.
"That about sums it up," said Vash. Once they received their lunch, they sat down at a table and began to eat…until they were so kindly interrupted by…
"Hey bitch, I hear you've been whoring around with the Saverems. So tell me something, who's better? Vash or Knives?" Jessica smirked. "I'm sure Vash was better since he is experienced with this sort of thing." Meryl kept her stone face, but inside, her heart clenched. Vash has had sex before? She glanced over at Vash who was steaming mad.
"What the hell are you talking about? What do you know about my sex life?" growled Vash.
"Oh don't be modest Vash! Everyone knows how big of a ladies' man you were until she came along." Jessica looked at Meryl. "Just between us girls Meryl, who likes to be on top? You or-" She never finished her sentence since Meryl slapped her hard across her cheek.
"You can just turn your slut bag ass away and keep the fuck away from me and my friends," snarled Meryl. Jessica glowered at Meryl.
"You fucking bitch. You don't know whom you're messing with. Three o' clock today, on the field, just you and me. Don't even try to leave this school and if you do, there will be consequences to pay. I have friends who will be watching." With that said, Jessica stalked away. Meryl sighed.
"Are you going to do it?" Milly asked worriedly.
"I don't know," said Meryl. " I don't want to but if worse comes to worse, I'll have to defend myself." She glanced at Vash. Is it really true Vash?
Sixth period ended and Meryl and Vash quickly exited out of the classroom. As they walked by, Jessica's friends eyed them suspiciously.
"What are you going to do?" asked Vash.
"I'll have to walk across the field to get to my car anyway," said Meryl. Vash had a firm grip around Meryl and they walked out of the school. They knew that a crowd of people was following them to the field. Most of the school knew that Jessica and Meryl were feuding. Whispers followed them closely. Meryl could already see Jessica and her friends waiting for her. She squinted and gasped to find Knives, Legato, and Midvalley there. Meryl had a feeling of apprehension. She felt Vash squeeze her hand.
"It'll be all right," he said reassuringly. Meryl nodded. They tried to ignore the group but they were blocked from walking any further.
"So bitch, you arrived. Didn't think you'd have the guts to do so," said Jessica.
What'll happen? Who will win? Will there even be a fight? Although Meryl is a black belt in karate, Jessica is quite strong and she's extremely athletic. If you wanna know what will happen, please review!
Hmmm…..I wonder what happened to Legato….
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere…
Author's God-like Voice: Legato? Legato…
Rose: MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Legato: X.X (currently six feet under)
Author's God-like Voice: Hmm, that's just too bad
Rose: Darn! Now I don't have a moving target anymore!
Sorry chapter was kinda short. Hope to make it up in the next one. Laterz!
