Chapter 7: I Don't Need You!
Marvel had a hard time sleeping that night her body curled up into a ball on the hard wood flooring of the room.
*What if Knives is right? What if my feelings go deeper than even I want to admit? But how is this even possible? I've only known him for a short time; love can't happen that quickly, can it? Maybe all of this is just meant to be like a badly written prophecy from beginning of time. Marvel shook the ludicrous thoughts from her head. *You don't love him it's just creepy Knives getting to you. Anyway with my love comes consequence, just like before, just like Caleb. Every man I even look at twice dies, Caleb and Legato. I have the kiss of death. *
Her body finely gave in and sleep took over but her dreams haunted her like they did many nights. Like ghosts who refused to take eternal rest her memories of her past chilled her to the bone.
*Dream…I always dream of him. Caleb, Why couldn't you just stay away from me? Why couldn't you just leave me alone? Why did you have to love me Caleb, why? All it brought was you end, our end. All it brought was nothing ness and now Kyeo laughs at us from his grave he got exactly what he wanted the end of our love. I now have to walk this earth as something not even human and I will walk…forever.*
A tear slid down Marvel's face in her sleep and glimmered in the moonlight.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Five days had passed since Marvel's meeting with Knives. She spent the next few days avoiding all contact with Vash's unbalanced brother. He wigged her out in ways she didn't even understand. She could remember all the things that made her say not to his little offer before. One was that look he always had in his eyes, it was always like looking into the eyes or the devil. She spent most of her time tending to Vash this man sparked a feeling in her heart she just couldn't escape. Vash was of cores nice and happy with Marvel's undivided attention. She took such superexcellent care of him he thought of getting shot more often. He hadn't asked her about her connection with his brother and Legato. The right timing just hadn't popped up.
Meryl had been doing some avoiding of her own. She managed to stay in Knives' bedroom almost every moment of the day, knowing it was the one place Marvel would stay clear of. Marvels fear of Knives was apparent. She couldn't face this woman who may love Vash. Knives enjoyed the company but would never admit it. It had been a long time since someone; anyone had showed him compaction like Meryl did.
Lastly Nicholas and Millie were taking the time to know each other on a more personal level. Everything seemed strangely quiet, that could only mean it was the calm before the storm.
"Hey Marvel where're you going?" Vash was sitting up in bed watching the young looking woman sitting on a chair lacing her high brown leather boots.
"Well I figured since you seem to be able to take care of you're self I'd go to the bar today and get myself a drink." She started to rummage around the room for her cowboy hat.
"The bar?" Visions of overflowing beer mugs begging him to take a drink of their sweet nectar danced in his mind.
Marvel turned and saw the drinker daydream in his eyes. Him mouth almost watered with the thought of alcohol. "You know if you're feeling better you could always get up out of that bed and come with me. Then you could get your own room and get out of my hair!"
He contemplated what he should do for a moment. If he got up and went to the bar he would be in the happy land of drinks and bar maids but staying here met he'd keep being babied and he'd also be able to continue spying on Marvel in the shower. The shower did it, her all wet and naked was not worth missing. "Oh the pain! It hurts so much it's almost unbearable!" Vash made a series of moans, groans, and strange noises before crashing over into the bed sending pillows flying everywhere.
"Over acting much!" Marvel let a breathy sigh then picked up on of the flung pillows. "Hey here's my hat." Bending the hat back in the shape she placed it on her head. "I'll be back later so eat what you want and just relax. If you need anything everybody's on this floor so it is a short trip next door to Wolfwood's room"
Vash watched his saunter towards the door hips swinging with full attitude. *God I love this woman!* "Hey don't I get a good by kiss!?"
"Do you want a fat lip!" she turned and her fist shook in the air so he'd get the point.
"Well guess I see you later have a good time!" Marvel left and the door slammed. Vash jumped upped out of bed and stretched his limbs. He then walked tot the bathroom where he groomed himself taking a shower and shaving. It felt good to be clean. He dressed then walked out the same door as she did.
Nicholas heed a soft knocking at his door. "Come in it's open!" He surprised to see a full dressed Vash walk through his door. "aren't you pretending to be hurt so Marvel will take care of you're every need."
"Not today, care to join me for a day out on the town?" He smiled at his friend sitting on the end of the bed smoking his cigarette.
"I'm sure it's going to be an interesting day."
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"I don't think I've ever need a drink so bad! Joseph give me another!" Marvel guzzled down the beer the man handed her.
"Something got you down beautiful?" An unnoticed man had sat net to her on a stool. He was gruff looking and not attractive by any means. Looked like it had been a while since he had even seen soap.
"Nothing you could help me with." She slid off the stool attempting to leave this place for the day but a hand grasping her wrist stopped her.
"You see miss you match the description of an outlaw called Marvel the Demon. She's worth a lot of double dollars." The cold hard metal of the end of a gun was placed at the base of her skull. "Wanted dead or alive you know so lets make this easy and just walk out side."
She did as he wished walking out the saloon door and in to the street, but it wasn't over yet. Before he even knew it she had slipped out of his hand, crouched down and kicked his feet out from under him. She went to put her gun or of it's holster but to he dismay she had forgot not only the gun but he whole holster. *That stupid man is on my mind so much I can't remember anything! Vash some how I know this is your fault!*
"Where do you think you're going girl?" A shot from he gun was fired but Marvel's flexible body enabled her to doge the bullet with a graceful back bend.
She flipped back up the her feet and took off towards the edge of town. *I have to get this guy out of town where I can take care of this with out putting theses people in any danger.* She had almost made it then a lasso captured her waist and her body was roughly pulled to the hard ground.
The sun burned her eyes as she looked up the see a shadowy figure stand above her. "Looks like you ran out of luck this time doesn't it?"
She could see look on his face do to the blinding sun, but she guessed it was a big greedy smile. "You have no Idea what I am do you?" The look on her face made the man shutter. He didn't understand how she could show no fear in the face of death. "You see every man who has come up against me has found his way to an early grave. I guess you want to be next." A clawed hand came up swiftly from her side Ripping the rope that bided her to shreds.
"What are you?" He shook it was true everything her herd. She wasn't human.
"Your worst nightmare!"
A voice from behind distracted the man. "Stop right there! I can't believe you would try to hurt this defenseless woman"
"Oh, great it's my night in shining armor!" She was unpleasantly surprised to see Vash behind the fortune-hunter. "And what do you mean defenseless." She pushed herself off the ground standing up ill-tempered.
"Admit it you need my help! You where just tied up a moment ago!"
"Well I'm untied now aren't I? I've got this so just beat it." Her fists were clenched tight causing little half moon to appear in her palms from her nails.
"You forgot you gun you know? What you were going to beat him with you fists? She was driving him insane.
That was it tempers flared. The two of them stood close facing off, both waiting for the other to back down. They almost physical butted heads their foreheads almost touching. Marvel couldn't understand why he just wouldn't go away and let her take care of this. She didn't need anyone's help especially his. Vash did know why she was so stubborn when he was just there to protect her.
"Maybe that was my plan! I can take care of my self you know! I'm not some woman who needs a man to fight her battles!"
"I was just trying to protect you!" Her was infuriated. she was just so reckless.
"WHY!?"
"BECAUSE!"
The fight pair was interrupted by a gun shot. The bounty hunter was so tired of their juvenile fighting he had taken things into his own hand shooting up into the air. " I'm trying to get paid here so if nether one of you wants to get hurt you'd better end this now!"
Marvel chuckled a bit. "Do you know who we are?"
The man didn't see anything funny about the situation she was in. "You're infamous outlaw Marvel the Demon and worth a nice chunk of change."
"And that ignoramus over there?" She pointed to Vash who knew exactly where she was going with this.
"Nope, should I?"
"This guy is the even more infamous outlaw Vash the Stampeded. You know, the guy who put a hole in the fifth moon! So if you really want to mess with us go ahead. I was being nice before but since you've made me angry I might have to dig those eyes of yours and put them in a pretty jar. I'd take off before you meat the fate of all the other idiots who've faced me!"
The man had no response. Of course it would have been hard to make on as fast as he turned tail and ran.
"You really scared him." Vash watched the man as he left a dust trail of sand in his tracks.
"Yep told you I could take care of myself!" Her arms crossed she scowled at him.
"I sand corrected. Guess I was being a little over protective of you. I just didn't want to see you get hurt." A tender-hearted smile appeared on his face. " What do you say to us celebrating your victory with a few drinks."
"Alright, but tomorrow you get you own room." Marvel smiled back.
"Oh come on do I have too? Yours is just so cozy and I was just starting to get use to it." He mined to her.
"Come on you baby I think I really need that drink!"
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
It didn't take long for the both of them to have way too much to drink. A mutual decision was made to go back to the inn and sleep it off. Marvel and Vash left the town saloon where they had met up with Millie And Wolf wood, both who were happy to see their inebriated friends leave. They were causing quit a scene in their drunkenness. At least the two of them seemed nice happy, if only they could have gotten Marvel off the top of the bar without Nicholas dragging her down by her ankles.
As day turned in to night the desert air had become cold. Vash and Marvel walked down the street to the best of their ability leaning on each other for support.
"I think you had too much to drink Mr." Marvel poked Vash in the nose then stumbled.
"Look who's talking! Her held her closer afraid if she stumbled again she'd take them both down.
"I can hold my liquor like a man!"
The duo made it up the stairs up to the room, but just beryl. They leaned up against the door as Marvel struggled with the key. When she finally got it in the door and turned the knob the both tumbled into a pile on the floor.
"Look what you did dumb ass!" Marvel groaned at the weight of his body on hers.
"Me? You were the on leaning on the door!" Vash got up pulling her to her by her waist.
"What ever lets just go to sleep, alright." With the alcohol in her system she had lost most of her inhibitions and started to undress right there in front of Vash.
"Hey what are you doing? Not that I really mind, but don't you want to do that somewhere else?" His cheeks became red at the sight of her.
"You act like you've never seen a girl in her under clothing. It's not a big deal! I'm sleeping in this any why to tired to get out pajamas." She finished striping and climbed in to her cushiony bed that she had not slept in for days.
"Good Idea." He fallowed her lead trying to get his own garments off. He was having a little more trouble. Buckles were immensely difficult while drunk.
"I knew those things where trouble." Marvel remembered her experience while trying to get his clothing off to dress his wounds.
At last he freed himself of his clothing. Vash looked around the room then back to Marvel. He got that puppy dog look in his eye. "Where am I suppose to sleep?"
Rolling her eyes and letting out a frustrated cry Marvel couldn't help but feel bad. Maybe it was the booze or maybe she was crazy but she couldn't just make him sleep on the floor. "I'll make you a deal If you promise to behave yourself I'll let you sleep on the bed. But if you lay one hand on me while I'm sleeping I'll rip your good arm off and beat you to death with it! Deal?"
Vash let a overjoyed grin appear on his face, but composed himself quickly afraid she would take it back. "Deal."
"Alright but you going to have to climb over me because I hate sleeping by the wall and there's no way in hell I'm moving."
He did what she asked and stared to climb over her. Placing his left leg over her and pulling his right leg up he found himself hovering over her. It was an odd position he had managed to get into and he blushed once again. Vash couldn't help but to look at Marvel's angelic face. It was bewitching he couldn't look away. She suddenly felt very unaccountable under his stare.
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.
"Marvel this has to stop before you do something you might regret. You've had too much to drink and you'll kill me tomorrow." He went to lay next to her but she stopped him.
"Vash I couldn't regret any thing I do with you. I want this, I want you." She leaned up for another passionate kiss.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Knives awoke up to a strange felling. Some thing was happening with Vash he could feel it. Knives had been keeping constant mental tabs on his irrational twin brother. He had taken a nap figuring Vash was only going to continue making an ass of himself at the bar. But he was not longer at the town saloon some thing much more interesting was going on. *Vash is being quite the bad boy. Marvel has that effect on men I guess. Once she captures you heart she becomes everything you want and need.*
"Knives? What are you thinking about?" Meryl had been watching him sleep.
"Well…something 's wrong with Vash I'd like you to check on him tomorrow morning ok?"
"When did you start to care?"
"I just do!" He gazed out he window. For some reason he didn't want to lie to her. *When she see them together she will be totally vulnerable. Leaving her open to me. I'll take who Vash care about and use her to take revenge on him in a way he never saw coming.
"Knives?"
"What!?" He jerked his head in her direction.
"Tell me who she is and why she knows you." Meryl had become curious about Marvel and he connection to Knives.
"About seventy years a ago a woman killed her husband and her lover. She was not an ordinary woman though she was a monster. A demon who roamed the earth became an outlaw that day. She never ages and has walked this arid land for over eighty years. Marvel the Demon, the dangerous woman who protects this town to try to make up for all the lives she has taken in the past. I had Legato come to her, I wanted her to become a Gung-Ho Gun. She was one of the best. Legato persuade her for more that one reason, he wanted her for himself. She finally gave in and took him as a lover. They spent their time destroying those who apposed them. When he was told to return to me he did and left her behind. She is a monster just like him but she refuses to believe it."
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Well That's the end of the Chapter! Things are going to get interesting from here on out!
Sorry I haven't wrote chapter 8 so there is no preview for it, but here's some food for thought..
Will Marvel admit her feelings for Vash after what has happened or will she just keep beating the crap out of him?
What is Marvel really and is she good or evil?
What is Marvels past and where did she come from?
What are Knives plans and how do they involve Meryl?
Answers coming soon in chapter 8 and beyond!

Knives awoke up to a strange felling. Some thing was happening with Vash he could feel it. Knives had been keeping constant mental tabs on his irrational twin brother. He had taken a nap figuring Vash was only going to continue making an ass of himself at the bar. But he was not longer at the town saloon some thing much more interesting was going on. *Vash is being quite the bad boy. Marvel has that effect on men I guess. Once she captures you heart she becomes everything you want and need.*
"Knives? What are you thinking about?" Meryl had been watching him sleep.
"Well…something 's wrong with Vash I'd like you to check on him tomorrow morning ok?"
"When did you start to care?"
"I just do!" He gazed out he window. For some reason he didn't want to lie to her. *When she see them together she will be totally vulnerable. Leaving her open to me. I'll take who Vash care about and use her to take revenge on him in a way he never saw coming.
"Knives?"
"What!?" He jerked his head in her direction.
"Tell me who she is and why she knows you." Meryl had become curious about Marvel and he connection to Knives.
"About seventy years a ago a woman killed her husband and her lover. She was not an ordinary woman though she was a monster. A demon who roamed the earth became an outlaw that day. She never ages and has walked this arid land for over eighty years. Marvel the Demon, the dangerous woman who protects this town to try to make up for all the lives she has taken in the past. I had Legato come to her, I wanted her to become a Gung-Ho Gun. She was one of the best. Legato persuade her for more that one reason, he wanted her for himself. She finally gave in and took him as a lover. They spent their time destroying those who apposed them. When he was told to return to me he did and left her behind. She is a monster just like him but she refuses to believe it."

Sorry I haven't wrote chapter 8 so there is no preview for it, but here's some food for thought..
Will Marvel admit her feelings for Vash after what has happened or will she just keep beating the crap out of him?
What is Marvel really and is she good or evil?
What is Marvels past and where did she come from?
What are Knives plans and how do they involve Meryl?
Answers coming soon in chapter 8 and beyond!
