Chapter 6: Simple Affection
"Vash?" Marvel's fist fell limp at her side. What are you doing? You know you shouldn't be up!"
His body was leaning on the doorframe for support. He looked as if he was having a hard time supporting his own weight.
Nicholas peeked inside from behind him. "I went outside for a smoke and when I came back this needle-noggin was already here at the door!"
Vash stumbled as his legs finally gave out on him it was painful. He knew he should be up, but her herd all that screaming and he recognized the voice. She was just so angry and he had to know why. Anger flowed from the room in the air he could feel it as he come closer. Then he herd Marvel and Knives, he couldn't believe it. As he finally got close to the door he saw it *"Maybe my dear brother will share you with me you are rather ravishing you know."* His hand touched her cheek. Vash was outraged, but there was little he could do in his state.
"Vash!" Marvel had run to his side in what seemed like a flash. She supported his weight with her hip. He was heavy but she could hold him up. "What do you think you doing Mr. Ridiculous? Look at you we're going back to bed right now!"
He slung his left arm around her shoulder and she turned them both around so they could make their way back to her room when someone spoke from behind them.
"Yes have fun in bed you two! I'm sure it will be a present experience for the both of you. But Marvel pleas do same some energy for me my sunning creature."
Marvel became ridged she started to twitch again. Vash could see the anger in her eyes. He spoke softly in a hushed tone into her ear. "Don't react, don't do it, that's what he wants. He thrives on it, just calm down and walk away."
Vash turned his head and looked back at his brother, he was really testing his patients. *Leave her alone, Knives! *
He smiled at his sibling delighted. *Why? I was just having a little fun? You've made a wonderful choice; she is pleasing to the eye. *
*Touch her and the result wont be worth the trouble you cause. *
*I have no need for that human of yours I just like to see her face so full of rage. She hates when men are trying to dominate her. You could ask Legato but you killed him don't you.*
Vash's heart sank his stomach became uneasy. *Just stay clear Knives she's mine! *
* Possessive you are over what's not actually yours. *
*JUST BACK OFF! *
"Hey Vash, were back in the room." He looked around. The conversation Knives and he were having was so intense he didn't even notice they were moving. " What's the serious look for? I don't think I've ever seen you with one of those." Marvel sat him down on the bed.
"Just stay clear of Knives, all he is one big pain in the butt." He smiled weakly.
"I know my ass is throbbing! I'm sorry if our fighting upset you." She placed herself next to him on the soft mattress of the bed.
" No it's ok, but you know him don't you?"
"It was a whole other life time."
He sensed she didn't really want to divulge to details so Vash changed to a lighter topic. "You know Knives has telepathic abilities right. Matter of fact I have them too, I just never use them. I feel I have no right to be poking around in some one's head."
"Really!?" She moved a bit closer to him. This was remarkable to her. Marvel had seen a lot of odd thing but had never bumped into someone who could read minds. "Show me!"
"Ok, Close you eyes and move closer to me." She obeyed him. "Closer, just a little more."
"Do you see anything?" She was apprehensive being so close to him.
"Just give me a minute!"
Marvel couldn't wait any longer and as she opened she saw a big pair of lips traveling towards her face. "VASH!!!"
A foot flew through the air and made contact with his shin. "OWW, what was that for?" Vash fell to the ground clutching his right leg.
"You pervert! I can't believe you! Were you trying to read my thoughts through my lips?"
"Well it might have helped!"
"You are so infuriating!" Marvel stood glaring at him. "I'm going to take a shower." Looking at his heart broken eyes she all of a sudden felt bad for the fragile man. "Do you think you could manage getting back in to bed?"
"I don't know now my shin hurts!" His words were bitter.
"Sorry, let me help you." She knelt down next to him raping her arms around his midsection lifting him to his feet.
They stood together letting the touch of there bodies linger. Chests pined together, they were up close and personal with on another.
*It's the felling again* Marvels heart pounded lightning-quick. *Why does he make my feel like this? I get all hot, I can't speak, and my stomach does flip-flops. I promised to never happen again!* Her mind was screaming get away but her hart said something completely different.
Vash couldn't figure out why she studied his face with such a strange look. It was nice having her so close to him, her eyes staring at him in wonder. It was if she was looking for some thing in his face. The need to touch her was growing inside him. Marvel was so close he could feel the heat of her skin contacting his. At last he couldn't take it pulling her close into a gentle hug.
"Vash what are you doing?" Marvel's voice was a soft whisper.
"I just want to say thank you for taking care of me like this. You didn't have to and you did." He smiled down at her making her melt in his arms.
"I…I would have done it for anyone…you were just at right place at the right time." The gentle look in his eyes was starting to break down her defenses.
*This is my chance! I'd better take it while I still have it. * Vash gave a delicious smile making her knees weaken, and this time he held her up even know his own body was week. He starter to lean in close to her face watching her eyes to see if they were going to tell him no, but they didn't. They did no such thing. His lips were almost on hers their eyes were closed; this was the moment Vash had been waiting for since he had first seen her.
"Wow, I must just have the worst timing!"
The moment had been broken. They both gazed over to the door way were Nicholas stood watching. Neither had even herd the door open, they had become to busy in their own world.
"I just came to wish you both a good night. Guess I interrupted you again didn't I."
"Aww man, I was so close that time to." Vash sighed
"So close! You pig I don't believe you would take advantage of my pity for you in this state!" Her fist came in contact with his head before she stomped off into the bathroom.
"You couldn't wait five minutes, could you!?" Vash flopped down on the bed in defeat then stretched out.
"Sorry didn't know I'd be intruding." Wolfwood rubbed the back of his head and smiled.
"You weren't intruding you saved my life!" A muffled yell emanated from the bathroom door.
"Well goodnight you two and may tomorrow be a better day"
"Yeah goodnight Wolfwood" Vash gave him a small wave a he excited the room. *Remind me to lock that door in the future.* He laid there looking at the ceiling listing to the sound of running water from the shower. The nights events were still fresh in his mind. *I wonder what Knives meant when he mentioned Legato? She knows the both of them some how. I feel like he meant Marvel and Legato were some type of item. What could she see in a man so evil. I just don't understand.*
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
The room was dark and almost silent the only sound the breathing of the rooms two occupants. The moons light shined in trough the window casting a shadow of the bedpost on the floor. Meryl stared at that shadow like it was the only thing in that room. The sadness was overwhelming she couldn't believe it. This woman had some type of feelings for the only man she loved. That Marvel had ruined everything, how could she do this.
Knives could hear the soft sound of Meryl's tears. "Your crying is irrational, and stupid. You shouldn't waist you time with such frivolous emotions."
"Right, take advise from the psycho killer! Thanks, but no thanks!" She huffed a bit letting a puff of air escape her heartbroken body.
"That man is not worth such a week reaction! No other being is worth such a reaction! Tears are not worthy of him, my brother does not deserve them he is a week fool!" He remembered a time long ago. Vash's tears as the escape pod door closed, the look on his face as he saw Rem for the last time, the memory had not faded at all with time. "He always has been." Knives voice seemed to soften for a moment. This caught Meryl off guard.
"Why in the would do you hate him so much any way? What did he ever do to you? From the what he told me it sounds as if he were the victim!" It didn't matter how mad she was at him she would continue to defend Vash's good name.
Knives took a deep breath in He did not know why he come chose to giving so much to this human, maybe it was the broken state he was in. Maybe it was because no one had taken care of him since Rem and Rem seemed to have grater affection for Vash anyway. Knives was always second best to her perfect little Vash. To make it worse Vash had become so devoted to her sometimes he had forgotten Knives even existed. He was alone on a ship with all of those stupid humans and Steve. The man who thought Knives and Vash were monsters, always beating their small bodies leaving hideous bumps and burses. That man was the human race, all they did was leave bumps and burses on any world they lived on.
"All I wanted was an Eden" Knives his face turned to look at Meryl. "An Eden where we'd be happy. I even brought her along just for Vash. But she had to ruin everything!"
Meryl didn't know what to say. All of a sudden she felt uncomfortable. She couldn't understand why Knives seemed to be confiding in her. He hated her he hated all humans this was crazy. It could be he would tell her theses things then her life would end for it. Suddenly her body was shaking deeply troubled by his openness.
"I'm not telling you this as a warning of death, that day is not today." Knives went back to looking at the ceiling as if it were interesting. "Why do you sit in my room so much anyway? Don't you have some dirty human things you could be doing?"
Anger made it's way in to her pail face; he had riled her up like he always did. She rose to her feet with her fist tightly balled up at her sides and her shoulders tensed. "What do you mean dirty human things? I stay here feed you, bath you, and take care you; this is the thanks I get! You're such an heinousness jerk!"
Knives did seem to be fazed at all he glanced at her for a moment and simply said. "Glad to see your felling better, retched human."

So I don't usually post more than one chapter at a time but I was so excited about this next one I just had to!
Preview: Chapter 7: I Don't Need You!
His eyes locked on to hers and aqua meet green. This time he couldn't help himself and he leaned down pressing his lips to hers. He immersed himself in the felling of her velvet kiss felling nothing else. Pulling away Vash met her eyes one more. Her hand stated to lit it's self from it's place beside her and he closed his eyes waiting for it to make contact with his face, but it didn't. She placed it on the nape of his neck pulling him down for another. Thing were begin to become more intense between the two of them when Vash pulled away.
