Chapter 5: Millions Knives
"Vash my god would you just stand still?" Marvel was tried to clean his wounds but all he did was wiggle around. "How can I change your bandages if you won't stand still!"
"Come on stop it that hurts!" He screamed dodging the cloth coved in rubbing alcohol. "And could you stop poking me with those nails! They're really sharp you know!"
"I have to clean them out! Come on just stop that! You're gonna hurt yourself more moron!"
He stopped. "Fine but do I get a kiss afterwards?"
'Smack' Vash had a new glowing red had print on his face.
"No, but I won't kick your ass! How does that sound?" Marvel tended to his wounds starting at the shoulder and working her way down. Finely she got to the one she would rather not deal with. " Alright Mr. Don't get all excited but I have to go where no woman wants to."
"Hey I'm sure some woman will want to …some day." Vash pouted
"Oh just shut up while I get this one ok!" She lifted up the bottom of his sorts to get to his groin area.
He laughed in an uncomfortably.
Suddenly the door slowly came open. " Hey guys what's going ohh…." Wolfwood was a little stunned. "Did I interrupt some thing? Do you want me to come back later?"
Marvel blushed then turned bright when she realized what he thought he head interrupted. "No even in his wildest dreams would that happen! I'm just patching the fool up!"
She leaped off the bed and gracefully landed on all fours next to Wolfwood, her vault over the bed had been inhuman. Standing up she noticed the peculiar look on Nicholas's face and coked her head to the side oddly like she had done before.
"You've got quite a jump little lady." Wolfwood lighted up a cigarette with a liter from his pocket.
Her sensitive nose couldn't handle such a powerful smell so close to her, Marvel coughed and gagged. "Hey, No smoking in this room, you hear me none!" Plucking the cigarette from his mouth she stepped on it with her boot clad foot crushing it.
"Shit, and I really needed that." He sighed with unhappiness looking at his wasted smoke.
"Well sorry to leave the party but I promised I'd bring Meryl the supplies she asked for from your bag Vash. You two enjoy your selves. And one last thing NO SMOKING OK!" Marvel slammed the door behind her making the whole room shake as she left carrying Vash's bag.
"That woman is a firecracker isn't she?" Wolfwood sat in a plush blue reclining chair caddy corner to the bed nestled in a nice corner.
"Yep, Isn't she great." Vash face glowed with a dreamy look. "One day I hope her to be my beloved. She's so wonderful."
"Stop daydreaming about a woman like that one needle-noggin! I can tell she's nothing but trouble. Why don't you look for someone nice and safe so you can keep yourself out of trouble, like I don't know Meryl." Nicolas thought he needed to push in the right direction.
"Meryl?" Vash was shocked at the suggestion.
"Yeah Meryl! What's so wrong with that!"
"It's weird I guess. I mean I care about her but it's not really like that. It's like she's my little sister. I could never think of her in any other way." He paused "But Marvel there's something special about that girl I can fell it!" Starring out the window he continued to daydream.
"You're gonna get your heart broken Vash the Stampede. You've always fallowed your that heart of yours haven't you." Wolfwood got out another cigarette but then placed back inside his suit jacket. "These girls are gonna be the end of us."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Knives, Wake up Knives." Meryl shook him a bit to wake the napping man from his sleep. "Come on knives you need to get clean up and I'd really like it if you were at least awake to insult me."
His right eye popped open for a brief moment then closed again when he realized Meryl was staring at him.
"Alright Mr. I know you're awake so stop acting like you're asleep! You're going to get washed off no mater what. You know how filthy you are!" She grabbed the top of the sheets that covered his body and pulled them down to his waist. Then she took then from his feat up to his upper thighs. The covers still covered his pelvic area. Merely took her place seated in the chair next to the bed.
Knives was so use to seeing her there he was surprised if he woke up and she wasn't. *She acts like a mother taking care of a sick child. I do not need this sort of attention from one of this planet's wasteful creatures. But still she is so kind to me
Stupid human's and there emotions!"
She placed a large blue bowl of warm soapy water on her lap. After ringing out the washrag she gentle stoked it over his forehead.
Knives eyes shot open. "What…what are you doing? Get you hands of me human!"
"No way your starting to smell bad, you're disguising! Now just hold still and this wont take long." She cleaned off the rest of his face washing behind his ears. Moving down his neck she got to his collarbone before rewetting the cloth. "I promise to be gentle ok. I don't want to hurt you. Meryl gentle started to was his chest minding his gun shot wounds.
Knives chest was hit with chill as the warm water on his chest mixed with the cool air. He looked at Meryl she looked peaceful compared to the first few days he had been awake. In a way she was captivating while trending to him. She was so careful not to hurt him while rubbing the warm washcloth over his torso.
He blushed. *She's beautiful, I didn't notice it before but there is something new in her eyes, A sparkle. Me thinking such things about a human is just ridiculous but still, if I could just relax maybe I could find out from her mind what has caused such a change. But it's so hard when I'm so tired and she's sitting there doing this. * He was well aware of her hands caressing his body with the washcloth. *Come on Knives concentrate, It's… Vash… She's happy he's safe. She…. She loves him! She love the idiot Why would she…. *
Meryl notice his irritated face and was concerned. "Did I hurt you?"
"No Meryl…I…I Just…"
"Meryl? What happened to waist full piece of flesh or human garbage?"
The door flew open without even one knock and Marvel strolled into the room carrying Vash's bag. "Brought you those supplies you needed."
Knives could sense anger from Meryl. * Oh look a familiar face. After all this time we meat again. I wonder what she's doing here and what about her makes Meryl so angry? Oh I see* There was a flash he could see Marvel next to Vash feeding him. Vash smiled at her and watched her every move even when she wasn't paying attention to him. He was smitten with her, *So Vash has feelings for her and Meryl's jealous. Now lets see what this woman wants with my dear brother. * Another flash it was Vash lying in a bed clad in nothing but a pair of gray shorts. Knives smiled *this should be fun. *
"Thank you Marvel, if you could just take the stuff out and place it on the table that would be helpful." Meryl didn't even turn around to look at her. She just kept on task wash Knives body. *Why am I so angry with her! I can tell she has no interest in him. Marvel just took pity on the moron. I should try harder to get along with her. *
"Ok can do." Placing the large sack next to the small nightstand she pulled out some of its contents. Marvel glanced over to see Knives figure on the bed. "Look what an unpleasant surprise."
"Nice to see you again too…Marvel the Demon." the smile on his face was a sinister and caused a chill to go through her entire body.
"I'm surprised you still remember me after all theses years. Still sad I didn't join your little gang?" She wasn't surprised that Vash's bother was Millions Knives. How many men could be running around named Knives. She was surprised that such a gentle creature could be related that this incredible monster.
"You two know each other?" The whole confused Meryl but niter took any notice to her question.
"How is that group of misfits you put together any way?" Marvel had a bitter tone in her warm voice.
"Dead"
"No surprise to me. Good thing I didn't fall for Legato's belief that you were some kind of god. That man was crazy, but he didn't scare me one bit you know. No one scares me not even you Knives."
"I know when you're lying. I make every hair on you body stand up, just like you did to Legato. He said you were the only thing on this planet that cased fear in him, besides me of cores. That's what attracted him to you I guess. All that blood you've spilled was just intoxicating to him." his head slowly turned to look gutsy woman in the eyes. "You would have been a incredible Gung-Ho Gun."
"I'd be dead just like the others." Just being in the same room with him started to get to her. His presents made her angry and horrified all at the same time. "What ever happened to them destroying me and the rest of the world anyway? You remember Legato said I would get mine in the end." confidences radiated form her frightened frame.
"You've never showed any fear, Legato liked that. But no matter how he tried you never returned his affection, or did you? The way it all ended only fueled his hate for the human race more but for some strange reason he left you alone." The memories of Legato's emotional attachment still lingered in his mind. "Don't worry about your appointment with death, I'm sure you can sill come to a gruesome end at my hands."
"Just stop Talking about him alright! It's over, he's dead! The jackass is dead just like he wanted." *Why do all the men in my life always die* Marvel bowed her head in regret morning anther flame that had burdened out. *Why…Legato, why you too?* Her eyes once again glanced over the form of the damaged man. For a moment something clicked in Marvels mind. Looking him once over She noticed he looked very similar to Vash. His body seemed flaw less except his new injuries, unlike Vash who was covered in scars. He looked so much like that adorable moron.
"What, do you like what you see lying here? Do I remind you of someone, Vash? I know what you're thinking when you look at him, when you touch him."
"What are you talking about you creep?" Marvel's cheeks burned crimson.
"Marvel you had better go before he gets worse." Meryl was trying to calm herself down. *So she does have eyes for him! I can't believe it just when the two of us were getting so close. That bitch! *
"No, why don't you stay we could talk about my brother."
"That's it! Why would I want to talk about that bird-brained man! I've Know him for two days and already I want to murder him! How dare you make suck accusations!?" Marvel leaned over his bed infuriated. She was so close to him there faces almost touched. *I'm going to murder him this time! *
Knives knew he was pushing her buttons, that's exactly what he had in mind. *Humans so easy to toy with* He found the power to raise his hand from his side and stroked her cheek watching the anger only increase. "Maybe my dear brother will share you with me you are rather ravishing you know you always have been. " His smile turned from sinister to devilishly.
Her face twitched with rage she clutched a hand full of the sheets in her right hand. Knives noticed a few odd things seemed to happen in her angry state. Her teeth were clenched together hard and her canines seemed longer than and average human's, much sharper looking too. Some thing also seemed to be pushing up through her hair in two places. "That's its show them why they gave you that name. Prove to everybody that you're an outlaw deserving of it."
She drew a hand back making a fist but a voice stopped her.
"Marvel stop!" It was Vash
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^
Hope you liked it. If not I promise the next chapter will be better. I was in a rush to make some major plot changes in this one so it might not be the best chapter. I added something new to Marvel's past but I already had this chapter written so I had to go back.
