Hello my beautiful Kaleidoscope readers! I'm happy to bring you the next installment of my story. Do you know why I'm so happy? Because my last chapter gave me to most reviews I have ever received. Whoo hoo I love you guys so much I could kiss you all...well maybe a big hug or hearty handshake. I was reminded though of my awful grammar and spelling though. I am the English teachers worst nightmare, I think I acutely had one tell me that while I was in high school. If it weren't for Mimic12455 all my chapters would be awful.
Thank you!!!!!!
Arika*^*Coffee is a dangerous substance. I know from experience. I went through this chapter and tried to catch all the 'he' and 'she' things. It doesn't mean got them all, but I might have. Thanks for pointing that out I didn't even notice I was doing that.
Lunatic Jedi*^* Corruption is in full swing in the up coming chapters! I wish Knives would corrupt me. Did I just type what I was thinking? Oh well
Morlana*^* Knives definitely knows how to get what he wants. But he's gonna get more than bargained for this time.
Mimic12455 *^* with out your wonderful grammar skills I would be nothing. Thank you so much for your help!
Kimmy*^* You know I noticed that Mille and Wolfwood diapered from the story. I had a whole sub plot for them but the whole Knives/ Meryl thing became a whole lot more popular than I anticipated. Now I just can't seem to fit them in. They make a short cameo in this chapter though. Very short.
WW*^*Stories always make my cry; I'm such a baby every thing always makes me cry. I cried all time towards the end of Trigun when they played all the emotional stuff like when Wolf wood dies and when Vash chose to not kill Knives. I'm the nation winner of the Anime boohoo award. I cried watching InuYasha last night!
Anon*^* The grammar check on my computer and I have been fighting about those darn commas. It wants all my commas to be semicolons so sometimes I just leave them out all together.
Kongykun*^* Vash has a history of falling in love at first sight. Remember Marianne From "Truth of Mistake" or Elizabeth form "Lost July". He asked Elizabeth to marry him five seconds after meeting her. I believe Vash thrusts himself it to love thinking only with his heart. The big goofball fallowed Elizabeth around acting like a dog as she called him spot. That guy does the most idiotic things when he's in love. But we all love our love sick puppy…well most of the time.
Nuclear Pudding*^* Go on tell us how you really fell about Vash right now, go on don't hold anything back:) Nuclear you're the best, at then end of the day your review your review is the on that makes me laugh the hardest.
Faery Goddyss*^*I got your review right before I posed this chapter I almost miss you, but I'm glad I didn't! So come back to life and read this chapter!
Thank you all for so much for all the love!

Chapter 13:Going Home
Vash braced him self as he entered into Marvel's room. She sat alone on her bed hunched over, her elbows sat on he knees. The fingers on her hands were intertwined and she looked at the floor only glancing over to see him pass through the doorway. The mattress sunk in next to her as his slender figure sat down beside her.
"So she loves you." She was simple and strait to the point trying her best to not show how Meryl's admission of love knotted up her insides.
"Yeah she does" Vash kept his eyes on the woman next to him hoping to catch a glimpse of her emotions in her face. She only looked down at the floor as if something of interest was there.
"Do you Love her?"
"Not the way she wants me too."
"I know." Looking up she gave a meek smile; she really had no Idea how he felt.
"Then why did you ask?" He felt a hind slip over his that were sitting in his lap.
"I wanted to know." Leaning over Marvel placed her pink lips on his cheek giving him a soft but brief kiss. "You should stay here and help her mend that broken heart."
"Meryl's strong, one of the strongest women I know. She doesn't need me to heal and I don't think she really wants to see me right now. She needs me to leave for a while so she don't have too look me in the face."
"Are you sure?" snuggling close to Vash Marvel wrapped her long arms around the softhearted man. "You know She's the one who deserves your time right now."
"Of course I'm sure. I need to fallow my heart."
"Vash." His name sounded more like a sigh than a word. Hugging him close she nuzzled his neck a bit
"Why are you always like this Marvel?" Her face tuned upwards to see his stern look.
"What do you mean?" The meaning of the question wasn't fully realized.
"When you think no one is looking its ok to show me affection, but around others you want nothing to do with me. I don't understand are you ashamed of me or something? I mean I a really nice guy!" Vash hopped up putting his body in many masculine flexing poses.
"I'm not embarrassed of you." She watched his continuing show of masculinity. "Well not all the time."
"Then what is it? I don't understand. You know I love you!" Vash flopped down next her once again.
"Vash pleas don't say things like that. You're not in love with me! You're in love with the thought of being in love. The feelings you fell are genuine but it's not love just deep affection." Standing up Marvel Walked across the room to the doorway that separated the bathroom from the other surrounding space. Her back to Vash she clutched the doorframe tight with her right hand. "You can't fall in love with some one you've known for less than two weeks."
"Do you care for me at all then?" Vash's solders slumped forwarded as he sat on the bed alone watching Marvel's every move.
I do I care a lot about you. I just can't love you right now. Love takes time to develop. I just don't want to talk about this any more ok. I need a shower before we head out."
The sound of running water hitting the old metal tub Vash filled his ears. He though to himself about that woman standing under the warm comfort of shower water who made him lose his sense of reality. The woman with eyes the color of green grass that was so rare on this planet. Marvel was truly one of a kind. Like solid stone on the out side but on the inside she was soft and warm. Vash would give her all the time she needed to fall in love with him. She was wrong about him; he was deeply in love with her. From the moment he opened his eyes and his blurred vision cleared to see the picture of beauty before him she had captured his heart without even knowing it.
*I would fallow you too the ends of this planet to show you that I love you. *
^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*
"Did you two remember everything?" Millie gave the two travelers a heart-warming smile as she helped Marvel hoist the lager saddlebags over the top of her thomas.
"Everything's packed I just have a few thing to take care of then we'll be out of the two of yours way. " Marvel dusted her dirty hands off on her dark blue denim pants. She smiled at Nicholas who watched Vash amuses. On the other thomas' saddlebags Vash was unsuccessfully trying to stuff a box of donuts in a side pocket with out crushing them.
Marvel walked past his silly antics back into the inn. She walked up the stairs. Every few steps creaked beneath he feet till she reached to the floor she shared with the others. Arriving at the third door on the right she heisted a moment before placing her slender fingers around the worn brass knob. Turning it she fond it unlocked.
*Vash must have been the last to leave; the broom head never locks anything. * Marvel mustered up the courage needed to open the door in front of her. It was funny, she had faced some of the most dangerous out laws Gunsmoke had to offer but the small black haired women behind the door scared her more than all of them.
"Meryl?" Peeking around the corner she saw the small woman lying down on bed her body facing away form the door. Her tiny frame looked like a child's, as she lay curled up in a ball looking out the window. Marvel knew she had a perfect view of the group packing for Vash and her departure.
"What do you want?" Her voice was empty, soulless, and heartbreaking to listen to.
"Well Vash and I will be leaving soon and I wanted to make sure you're ok. If you want him to stay I know I can..." A bitter voice interrupted.
"No don't do me any favors. Just take him with you!" Meryl's voice cut Marvel deep in her heart. The woman was in so much pain that it seemed there was nothing that could be done for her.
"I could have Millie take care of Knives for you if you need a break while were gone, and I'll even pick up some of the slack when we return." She was reaching out to the misery struck any way she could but her hand refused.
"I'll be fine. Knives doesn't like to be bothered by others any way." Meryl gathered herself and climbed around till her body around and sat on the edge of the bed glaring at the persistent cat woman.
"Meryl I don't trust him alone with you he's dangerous you know. I'm just trying to protect you."
"You've done enough since I met you. I don't want you to protect me." Meryl's sour tone cased Marvel it let out a growl of frustration.
"You know I didn't want any of this! I didn't expect that idiotic man to develop feelings for me! He thinks he's in love with me! Come on, he's insane!" Anger caused words to fly out a Marvel's mouth with out allowing her to think before she spoke. She clapped both hands over the infernal sound maker in shock. Her own words were strange to her.
"If he says it he means it, Vash isn't like other men. He wares his heart on his sleeve. You won't even meet a man as kind as him."
"I Meryl I'm sorry."
"Don't apologize just leave!"
Marvel turned to leave defeated by the hatred in Meryl's heart. "If that's what you want I will. But when I'm gone if any thing happens Joseph over at the bar knows how to get a hold of me. I don't trust Knives and while were gone he might cause problems. I don't care if you hate me enough to wish me dead I wont let him hurt you or anyone else in this town. You are my reasonability now." The door slammed behind Marvel with such much force it the wall rattled as it shook.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Did you tell Meryl good bye before we left?" Marvel sat atop her thomas while Vash chose to walk beside her holding the reigns of the other.
"Of course, do you think I'm rude or some thing? Did you say good bye to Knives?" Marvel's lips to twitch a bit at Vash's unfunny joke as he cracked a big stupid grin at her.
"Ha ha...very funny!"
"How much further is this place any way? I'm sick of walking." Vash huffed a bit searching through a pouch in his saddlebag.
"Well if had known you didn't get along with animals I might have arranged some other type of transportation. And didn't you walk everywhere any way? You should be use to this by now."
"It's not all animal just those thomas. They hate me! And just because I walked everywhere doesn't mean I like it...Ah, found them!" Vash pulled a crushed box form the pocket.
"What are you doing anyway?" He looked up at her with two puffy cheeks filled with donut and white powder coved gloves. "You and those donuts. If you don't stop eating them like that you're gong to turn into one you know."
Swallowing the mass amount of pastry in his mouth Vash responded. "Well there good. Do you think if I turned in to a donut I could eat my self?"
"The way you mind works frightens me. Look there it is up ahead. And it only took us one days travel." Marvel smiled, she was finally home.
The house was nestled between two large cliffs that towered above it. It wasn't really a house more of a mansion large in size and beautifully built with care. It looked like a castle among the large jagged rocks that protected it from the elements. This was not the residence of ordinary people but of the wealthy. Vash couldn't believe his eyes it was like a mirage, a trick of the cruel desert.
"Home sweat home. How I missed you." Marvel road a bit faster leaving Vash in the distance.
"That looks more like a fort!" He yelled form behind her running to catch up. "Hey Marvel would ya wait up!?"
The large entry doors towered above Marvel as she stood waiting for Vash. He walked up beside her breathing heavy while catching his breath.
"You know it's not like the place was going anywhere!"
"Sorry, I just really wanted to be here again." Her fingers traced the wood working design on the doors; she lit up with a smile. "I just wanted to be home." Placing both hands in the center of the doors she pushed. They opened up in one smooth motion allowing Vash to see that grand hall of the house.
"This place is amazing." He looked around in awe stepping into the beautiful structure. His boots hit the smooth surface of marble causing him to slide a bit, but Marvel grabbed his arm to steady him. Looking down at the smaller woman he notice the look on her face. For once she looked truly happy.
"Marvel you're back!" A young woman with blue eyes and short blond hair come towards them at full speed. He dress swung around her like a wind sock in a typhoon.
"Emily be careful!" Marvel's warning was to late the girl slid as she tried to make an abrupt stop and crashed in to the pair at the door causing them to become a heap of people.
Emily sat up on the top of the pile and laughed a bit. " Sorry guess I should watch where I'm going."
"Yeah and if you don't get off me I'm gonna hurt you." Marvel complained from the middle of the group.
"At least you're not on the bottom!" Vash rubbed the top of his head. "Come on guys get off. I think you broke something and you weigh a ton!" The two women were on their feet quickly snarling down at the man still lying crushed on the ground. He flipped over quick noticing their less than amused expressions. "Guess I said the wrong thing huh."
"You'd better bereave it." The two barked out in unison.
Marvel felt a small tug on her hand from beside her. A small blond child with the same eyes as Emily looked up at her. "Marvel will you pick me up?"
With a warm look in her eyes she scooped up the small adolescent in her arms hugging her close. "It's nice to see you too Anna." Looking over Anna's shoulder she notice Emily's face as she stood ogling poorVash. All he could do was let out an uncomfortable laugh.
"Marvel aren't you going to introduce me to you friend?" The girl floated on air next to the tall blond man.
"His name is Vash and he is much to old for you. You should be looking at boys not grown men."
"He looks just about the rig age to me!" Vash yelped as Emily latched on around his waist. "I love older men!" Vash tied pry her off with his hands but got nowhere she only squeezed harder. Turning green he wished he hadn't ate so many donuts before hand.
"Emily let go that guy is over a hundred years old! That is even too old for you. Besides he's an dangerous gun man!" The girl let go but huffed crossing her arms.
Vash couldn't remember divulging his true age to Marvel and wondered how much she knew and wasn't telling. He stepped closer to her looking in her eyes suspiciously. "How did you know about my age?"
"Calm down Mr. Paranoid. The priest told me. He said there was a lot I needed to know about you. Lucky for you that's all he told me. I'm sure he has plenty of humiliating stories about you."
"Hey, he does not...Ok so maybe he does but..."
"Vash I'm just kidding lighten up." Carrying Anna in her arms Marvel walked away for the confused man behind her.
"Me lighten up? You the one who's always so serious! Hey would you wait up you're leaving me again!"
Turning she gave him a coy smile. "Guess you'll just have to catch up."
"Come on Marvel stop flirting with your boyfriend! You're going to make me puke!" Emily stuck out her tongue in disgust.
Marvel's cheeks became inflamed. "He's not my boyfriend!"
"Yeah right why don't you just go and make out with him!"
"Excuse me Vash could you hold Anna for a second while I pummel a small teenage girl." Marvel handed the small girl off to Vash then began to roll up her sleeves.
"You're gonna have to catch me first!" The young woman took off flinging her arms around wildly above her.
As the two ran around the house uncontrollably Vash looked at the little angel in his arms and smiled down at her. "Are they always like this?"
"Don't worry they're only playing. No one ever gets hurt, but a lot of stuff beaks." She smiled back at him. " Would you like to play with me in my room? I have lots of toys."
"Lead the way."

Turning she gave him a coy smile. "Guess you'll just have to catch up."
"Come on Marvel stop flirting with your boyfriend! You're going to make me puke!" Emily stuck out her tongue in disgust.
Marvel's cheeks became inflamed. "He's not my boyfriend!"
"Yeah right why don't you just go and make out with him!"
"Excuse me Vash could you hold Anna for a second while I pummel a small teenage girl." Marvel handed the small girl off to Vash then began to roll up her sleeves.
"You're gonna have to catch me first!" The young woman took off flinging her arms around wildly above her.
As the two ran around the house uncontrollably Vash looked at the little angel in his arms and smiled down at her. "Are they always like this?"
"Don't worry they're only playing. No one ever gets hurt, but a lot of stuff beaks." She smiled back at him. " Would you like to play with me in my room? I have lots of toys."
"Lead the way."

So I actually started my other Trigun story! I like it so far but in a Week I'll read it and think it's crap. I did that to my poor Bebop story that I can't get right; I'll probably just trash it. On the other hand I have an InuYasha story that might just turn out to be some thing good. Stay tuned for more story updates.
Don't miss up coming chapter whit more action! More Knives and his evil plot! And more Vash eating donuts!
Keep up that beautiful love!
