Beyond Reasoning
Chapter 2
Reality
First thing I came to recognize was the headache I had. That was even before I opened my eyes. Sitting up opening my eyes finally I found myself in a hotel room.
1. Yesterday my sister bought me the trigun cat from Target.
2. I sit down at my computer and the thing began to glow.
3. The next thing I remembered was waking up outside of this town.
4. Assuming it was a dream I went along with it and even stopped a robbery.
5. After renting a hotel with the money given to me by the sheriff I met the guy that made me realize something was definitely wrong in my head.
But it wasn't it. I wasn't sick. This whole reality was real. The blankets I was holding close to me where soft and my pillow I seemingly fell asleep on was fluffy. This was more real then ALOT of my dreams. Like all of them. I also remembered passing out last night. How did I get back here then? It was my room because my keys where beside me on the table.
"Room 57..." I picked up the keys and watched them twirl in my hands. Closing my eyes I wished to head home. It wasn't that I didn't like where I was but this was just to freaky for me to handle. I might pass out again.
"Hey sleepy head." A voice said. Opening one of my eyes I saw the guy in question. "You've been out for a while." I watched in ahh at the spiked haired guy with his hands full of two trays. "Here." I took one of them from him and set it on my lap. "I wasn't sure you would wake up. You where out quit soundly."
"uh...yah.." I said brushing one of my stray locks behind an ear. "Your the one who brought me in, aren't you?"
"Yep," He said shoving some egg in his mouth. THAT scene made me chuckle. "What?" With that word a part of the egg landed on my forehead. With that he broke out laughing. Covering my mouth I began to laugh quietly. A smile came upon the outlaws face as he saw me laugh. "For a while there, with the way you spoke you made it sound like something was bad.." If he only knew. "There isn't something wrong...is there?" The look on his face was of worry and compassion. That look made me blush but I waved it off. This was him I was thinking about.
Real in the flesh Vash the Stampede. The 60000000000 double dollar man. The guy I was about to write a fan fiction about before I was transported here with him.
"No," I said giving him another smile. "I'm fine, just wandering through the desert."
"Alone?!" He exclaimed standing up.
"Yeah." I said looking up at his tall figure. He wasn't wearing the red coat I so loved in the anime. But then again if this was like the anime/manga he threw it off after retrieving Knives as a symbol that the battle was over and a new beginning had begun. "I can handle myself."
"O really?" He said looking at her trying to put on a serious face. "How would you react if someone dangerous attacked you right now for no odd reason?" I looked up thinking.
"Never had it happen," I shrugged.
"It could, I mean a pretty woman such as yourself could be an easy target to be mugged or even worse especially with all that money your carrying around." He looked over to the table with the money from my coat pocket laying there. "I don't know where you have been but these towns aren't safe for a woman like you." I just chuckled thinking of the episode where Vash had been trying to get some pretty woman to take him on as a body guard. Who ever knew it would be me he would try to pull that line on.
"And what do you think I should do about it?" I said almost breaking out laughing at the thought of it all. He turned and blinked at me wondering why I was holding back giggles.
"Because..." He said then growing with determination. "I think you need a body guard." I couldn't take it anymore and burst out laughing. It was the same old Vash..."Hey why are you laughing so hard? Do you think its funny that I told you that you needed a body guard?"
"...Nooooo not at all...." I said trying to calm down.
"Then why the heck are you laughing so hard?" He asked making a pouty face. Looking up I wiped the tears from my outburst away and then took a breath to calm down. Maybe I should take this offer. I would hate to travel Planet Gunsmoke alone since I was new here and all. Besides all that he was cute and even when he was an anime character I had this thing for him.
"For one, do you even know HOW I got my money?" I asked.
"Well no," He said. "Don't you just walk around with 30930 double dollars?" The last comment was sarcastic.
"You shouldn't count other peoples money doofus," I said sticking out my tongue. "I stopped a robbery yesterday when I arrived here in town. I got a 1000 dollar reward from the woman and for capturing the guy I got a 30000 dollar reward. I spent 20 on ice cream for the kids and 50 for my room."
"So you had nothing when entering October then?" He asked.
"Well yeah I guess," I said rubbing the side of my head. Mentally I noted thats what happens when you just appear on a totally different planet cuz of a freaky plushie cat. "And second of all, do you even know my name Vash?"
"Well yeah..the inn keeper guy said it was Candy...HEY who told you mine?!" He turned as I giggled. "I don't have my jacket anymore, how the heck do people recognize me?!"
"Maybe it's your sunny disposition?" I said with a giggle.
"Hey if you've known its me all along, why didn't you run or try to capture me for the reward or something?" He asked turning to me.
"Greed for one has never been my strong point. When ever I get money I blow it on my friends and family. I've got 30000 double dollars, what's the need for 60000000000 more?"
He just chuckled nervously at me. It was kind of cute.
"So your name means brightly white spirit?" He asked. I nodded.
"And yours means Vash the Stampede," I said giggling. He just chuckled standing up grabbing a slice of toast off his tray and biting it. "I liked the coat you had." I then added.
"What? You mean you don't like this suit thingy?" He said poking at his ribs. I shook my head. "Well it really stood for something and since its over I don't need it."
"O," I said looking down thinking about his love for Rem. Did he ever hook up with Meryl finally and where is Knives now? I wanted to flat out ask him that but I don't think I could. He would freak out and I didn't want to have that. I guessed if I hung with him long enough then I would find out. Meryl did. "Hey I've decided to take you up on body guard offer."
"WHAT?!" He looked at me like I was crazy.
"Well you did offer it, didn't you?" I asked.
"That was before you knew who I was," He chuckled nervously. "Normally once a person finds out who I am they either do two things run or try to collect the reward."
"I'm sure you've met people who didn't do that," I said. "Like me for example."
"There are people who don't but its growing fewer and fewer by the years." I sat there quietly listening. I knew Vash lived a long time, longer then any human ever since after the flood. But he wasn't human either: I was.
"Its ok," I said wanting to reach up and put a friendly touch on his shoulder but decided not to. We weren't that close yet. "Are you traveling alone then?"
"Yep," He said popping out of his sad mood into a cheerful manic one. He began to stretch his arms behind his back.
"Well I'm going to take up the offer then," I said smiling. "Why travel alone."
"But...you where trying to talk your way out of it!" He exclaimed grabbing at his head like he was frustrated at me. All I could do was giggle. If I was going to be stuck on this planet I was going to for sure have some good company with me. Stretching my arms I slipped out of the blankets only to see me dressed in a small top and very small pj bottoms. That's when I let a scream out.
"O so you noticed, eh?" He chuckled stepping back from my bed after he heard the scream. "The inn keepers wife dressed you in some of her old pj so you wouldn't get sick. It wasn't me...I SWEAR!
My face was bright red and I was using all my will power to restrain myself from throttling him at that moment.
"Where are my clothes Vash?" I asked glaring up at him.
"I'm the dry cleaning place," He chuckled nervously. "Want me to go get them?"
"Yeah..." I said as he quickly left the room. I sighed looking down at the blanket that covered me. Was everyday going to be this difficult and stress ridden? What had I gotten my self into exactly? Closing my eyes I heard the Outlaw rushing back up with two bags, one for my shirt and the other my pants.
"Did I mention that the inn keepers wife's most moderate pjs are the ones your wearing?" He chuckled nervously as I picked up a shoe beside my bed and threw it at him, hitting him squarely on the forehead causing him to cry like a baby. I looked at my hand. Never in my life had I actually aimed to hit something and hit it. Sure in sports I'm an excellent goalie but to try to hit the net is nearly impossible for me and yet I just hit him on the forehead, the exact place I wanted to hit. "Hey its not may fault you passed out in the rain, much less mud!" He threw my clothes on my lap and turned to leave my room. "Now excuse me, I have to go pack. I'll wait for you down in the lobby." I nodded as he shut the door. Getting up I quickly changed from the pjs that needed more cloth to my regular clothes. Picking up the shirt to change into I inspected it. It was red with a heart in the middle of it with offset color patterns inside of it. The sleeves where much like a tank top but the top of it hung off my shoulders split kind of like a flared shoulder shirt. I slipped it on. The black pants where made of a very breathable material. I figured why since I was on a planet that was just one big desert. I slipped them on and went to the closet to get my coat. I slipped it on putting the money back in the inside pocket and then went to get my boots.
Within a few minutes of finding a brush and brushing my hair I was ready to go. I decided to leave the pjs there and head out. Grabbing the keys I walked down the stairs till I saw Vash. At this point he couldn't see me and I just looked at him.
Yep he was still cute...
Giggling I went down the stairs the rest of the way and put the keys on the desk.
"Well Mr.. Stampede thanks for not blowing up a wall this time," The inn keeper said taking his keys and hanging them up then signing the book. I walked up putting the keys down.
"I shall be heading out as well," I said with a smile. He nodded taking the keys and putting them up.
"Its been a pleasure," He said. I nodded heading toward the door, the outlaw in toe. I had a smile on my face, the sun was out, and everything seemed to be looking up. This hopefully was going to be one of the greatest life experiences ever.
"Hey wait up!" Vash said as I looked back to see him with his bag on the ground digging for something.
"What the heck are you digging for?" I asked as he pulled out the rimless round sunglasses he was know for wearing. I smiled pulling mine out.
"Cool!" He said coming up beside me. Mine was tinted more of a red color while his a yellow. "We so match now."
"No," I broke in. "I'm wearing a trench coat and you my friend are not, there for we do not."
"I told you before...its a symbol thing...I don't need it anymore..." He winned. I just chuckled pushing the glasses up on my nose more.
"What ever you say Vash, what ever you say."
