Dreams or Flashbacks

The sand was warm as a body snuggled into it trying to block the breeze that came with the morning. The wind softly caressed the body's skin sending sand into the body's hair. The figure stretched and yawned and lazily opened her eyes and rolled over onto her stomach. She pushed herself up and stretched with a smile as she bathed her body in the warm light. Once she became fully aware of her surroundings her face paled and she began to sprint towards the scent of her robe. She quickly dressed in her robe once she reached it and got dressed.

"MERYL!" Vash yelled as he stood on their gazing cliff.

Meryl froze when she thought she was found out, but look over to see Vash on the cliff looking for her. She quickly sprinted to the house and quietly made it inside. Without thinking she ran upstairs and threw open the door to her room. She ran straight into Milly's chest and fell onto her back. Meryl's eyes widen she realized her friend was about to give away her location. Meryl quickly jumped onto her feet and covered Milly's mouth with her hand.

"Don't yell Milly," Meryl desperately pleaded. Milly gave her a confused look before she firmly nodded.

"Why?" Milly whispered. Meryl grabbed Milly's hand and dragged her into the bathroom.

"I have a secret and I need to tell you when it's safe," Meryl said. Milly nodded.

"Does this have to do with that long golden tail that's attached to you?" She innocently asked. Meryl's face paled before she felt the tail rub against her leg. Meryl nodded and growled in frustration.

"I'll tell you when we're alone, but don't tell anyone about my tail or this," Meryl said.

"You can trust me," Milly said with a smile. Meryl thankfully nodded before they both took off running towards the room. When they made it Meryl quickly got dressed. She noticed that her nails were longer and that she needed a hole for her tail to go through. Once that was done with she tied her tail around her waist like it was a belt. She then noticed her fangs were shaper and that she had grown two inches. She looked at her appearance in a mirror and could honestly say that she liked the way she looked. Her skin had taken on a light tan appearance and her eyes had more violet than gray in them.

"Can you tell that it's a tail?" Meryl nervously asked. Milly looked thoughtful before she shook her head no.

"Mr. Vash is coming!" Milly said as she heard the doors open.

"What should I tell him?" Meryl asked.

"Tell him that you had to go for a jog," Milly said.

"WOLFWOOD! Did you find her?" Vash yelled through the house.

"NO!" Wolfwood yelled back.

"Damn it!" Vash growled.

"Wow, Vash seems more scared than angry," Meryl said.

"You can feel his emotions?" Milly asked.

"No ... I can smell them and him. He smells ... delicious," Meryl said as she purred in her throat. Milly tapped Meryl on the shoulder and Meryl's clouded eyes had gone back to normal.

"Are you okay?" Milly asked.

"Yeah, I guess I better go down," Meryl sighed.

"Where the hell did she go?" Vash growled as he slammed his hands on the table. Wolfwood just stared as the table cracked in half and fell. He let the smoke leave his lips as he gave Vash a look of boredom.

"You know she's going to be pissed," Wolfwood said as he nodded towards the table.

"For all we know she's not coming back," Vash whined.

"We'll find her," Wolfwood calmly said.

"I found her bathroom window open and it looked like she ran off into the night," Vash said.

"Doesn't seem like her style," Wolfwood said as he took another drag on his cigarette. Vash nodded in agreement before he looked down at the table and scratched his head nervously. He then looked toward the stairs when he heard what sounded like two pairs of descending footsteps. Wolfwood looked over to see both Milly and Meryl coming down the stairs. When they reached the bottom Meryl nervously waved hi and walked over to the fridge.

"Where the hell have you been?" Vash yelled. Meryl bristled at the fact that he yelled at her.

"I went out for a jog," She said with a huff. Wolfwood grabbed Milly by the arm and dragged her out of the war zone.

"Why the hell did you climb out the window? And without any clothes?" He demanded to know.

"I didn't want to be questioned," She growled. Vash swore he saw her pupils narrow, and her growl sounded almost animalistic.

"Are you feeling okay?" Vash asked while looking her over.

"I'm fine," She quickly said as she picked up the coffee creamer.

He walked behind her and watched as she took out a small glass and poured the cream into it. He then watched her close her eyes down the cream in one gulp. She then pushed the glass into the sink and began to down the carton. Vash continued to watch in amazement as she downed a pint of cream. She set the pint down and smiled at Vash when she licked the cream away from her lip. He raised his eyebrow in confusion as he she walked away.

'Is it just me or does she seem more cat like?' He thought to himself. She stopped walking and sniffed the air. She turned around and stared at Vash. He froze and watched as she stalked him.

"Meryl?" Vash asked.

"I ... Milly and I need to go out," Meryl said as she turned around and left.

"MILLY!" Meryl yelled as she ran up the stairs to find a decent outfit.

"Yes Meryl?" Milly yelled back.

"We need to go to town," Meryl said.

"What's wrong with short stuff?" Wolfwood asked as he walked back into the kitchen.

"I don't know," Vash said as he took a bite out of a doughnut.

"Is it that time of the month?" Wolfwood asked.

"I HEARD THAT!" Meryl yelled.

"Damn her hearings gotten better," Wolfwood, mumbled. Vash nodded.

"Where do you think she went?" Vash asked.

"I don't know, you've known her longer," Wolfwood said.

"But she doesn't disappear into the night," Vash complained.

"Maybe she has a guy," Wolfwood suggested with a shrug. Vash choose to remain silent about that comment.

"She doesn't have time for a guy," Vash mumbled as he stuck two doughnuts in his mouth.

"She can't wait forever, and from what I saw, that Jesse guy ain't hard on the eyes," Wolfwood said as he flicked his cigarette butt out the window.

"What am I supposed to do? Go upstairs, pin her to the wall and whisper kiss me bitch?" He sarcastically asked.

"Whatever loads your .45," Wolfwood said as he grabbed an apple.

Vash frowned and sat down at the table with his doughnuts. He began to chew each doughnut. Wolfwood watched his strange behavior before he rolled his eyes and left the kitchen again. Vash looked up at Wolfwood to see he was leaving.

"Where ya' going?" He whined.

"I'm going for a drink," Wolfwood said.

"But I need help," He whined. Wolfwood raised an eyebrow before he sighed.

"What makes you think I'll help?" Wolfwood asked.

"PLEASE! I'll do anything!" Vash whined.

"So, if I get short stuff with you, you'll owe me one," Wolfwood mused.

"This doesn't seem to good," Vash mumbled.

Wolfwood hesitated before he said, "Deal."

Meryl and Milly now were on the outskirts of the tone with targets lined up against a broken house. Meryl had taken off her cape and untied her now stiff tail. Meryl let her tail swing casually as she aimed her derringer at a can. She cussed under her breath when her nail would not allow her to pull the trigger. Milly set her stun gun down and watched as Meryl bit her nails off. Meryl then smirked in triumph as she shot and hit her target dead on.

"Meryl," Milly softly said.

"Yes Milly?" Meryl softly asked.

"Your tail has a gun," Milly said as she pointed down. Meryl gave her a confused look before she looked down to see her tail holding a derringer. Meryl's sweat dropped as she yanked the derringer out of her tail's grasp. After practicing for another hour the girls decided to stop and sit down.

"You said we needed to go into town," Milly began.

"No, I just wanted to ... talk I guess," Meryl said as she fiddled with her tail.

"Okay," Milly said. Meryl laughed as she lay back in the sand.

"You're so easy to talk to," Meryl said.

"My big sister used to say that 'if you listen you'll be as wise as the planet is old'," Milly said.

"I guess that's true," Meryl said with a thoughtful look.

"How did you get that tail?" Milly asked as she tried to catch the flicking object.

"I guess you can say that I met my father, and he just showed me what I truly was," Meryl said. Milly for once gave Meryl a dry look.

"Fine, that Jesse guy said I was a skinwalker and that I had the spirit of the Marozi in me."

"You mean that pretty cat?" Milly excitedly said.

"Yeah, and now I can change into that."

"So you're like a werewolf?"

"No, I still have my mind when I change and I can tell who people are."

"That's amazing Meryl. You're sort of like Vash, not human."

"No, I'm human just a different kind now."

"Do you get anything besides a tail?"

"I can smell people's emotions, and my nose is sensitive. I can also see in the dark. My strength has increased, and I can run faster and hear very good."

"What else can you do?"

"I can jump high. My balance is a lot better, but there are rules."

"Really? What are they?"

"First, I can't kill without reason, second, I can't make an unworthy Marozi, third, I have to remain loyal to mate until death, and fourth, I can't taste human blood when I'm in my cat skin."

"Is that all?"

"Not sure, I also think there are more," Meryl, said with a pensive expression.

"Like what?" Milly asked.

"You know like I've ... had ... um ..."

"You don't have to say it," Milly said.

"Thanks. He smells good, and I feel all these things inside me trying to get to him," Meryl explained as she picked up some sand and let it fall into the wind.

"Do you think you have animal instincts?" Milly asked. Meryl's face turned red as she thought of the type of instinct she had. She sighed, thankful that Milly missed the oblivious.

'Guess I'll be humping Vash's leg, like a dog in heat,' Meryl thought with distaste.
