Chapter 4
Vash's Turn
I stand there with a bleeding woman in my arms staring down at her wondering what the hell is going on! This woman spoke of things no human alive could have witnessed. Rem was the only one who had witnessed the scene with the butterfly and spider to begin with and she had been long since dead before this girl walked the face of Gunsmoke. And then...then the light from her hands. I don't even think Knives understood what happened like me. I was left questioning what I saw. Quickly I grabbed her into my arms and rushed to the local hospital.
So there I sat in the waiting room of the hospital questioning myself of all I saw. If I had all been true then the woman Candy had a lot of explanations to who she really was.
Rem...
I wish you where here. It would make things a whole lot easier.
Looking up a nurse stood there with a clip board in her hands.
"Some stitches and she'll be as good as new," The woman said. "We had to do a blood transfusion on her but besides that everything seems ok." I let go of my breath I was holding. At least she was going to live through this to explain herself. I stood up. The nurse told me I could go and see her and I headed down the hall with the directions she told me. Staring at the door she said she was in. My eyes outlined the numbers and letters that made up the room id. This was a big hospital so it was a strange code.
136uV
Spreading my palm out on the door I walked inside to see the girl with her head turned and looking out the window that her bed was by.
"Hey," I responded putting my hand up as to wave at her. I sat down in the chair next to her with this goofy grin on my face trying to make her feel better about the whole situation. "I would explain my brother but you seem to know him a bit." Her head jolted to look at me in shock. "I would like some explanation about that...if you don't mind." Her eyes immediately left my face and went down to her hands.
"I don't know if I can offer you an explanation you would believe Vash," Her voice was quiet and full of pain.
"Try me," I said trying to lighten the mood a bit leaning back in my chair putting on another smile.
"...I...I can't Vash," She just said.
"Then explain the glowing hands and how my brother of all people got knocked into a wall because of it," I said trying to move on.
"I can't explain that either Vash." She lifted her palm up to her face and rubbed her eyes. "...I don't understand anything anymore..."
"Well tell me what you've got...cuz you owe me at least that," I said leaning toward her. Candy looked at me and then back down at the blanket.
"I arrived here on Gunsmoke after getting a plushie from my sister back on Earth..that's all I can really tell you."
Earth? Did she say earth?! Nobody has spoken about Earth in ages.
"What do you mean Earth?" I asked wondering if she had gotten the worlds mixed up or something.
"I lived on Earth Vash in the beginning of the 21 century if you must know," She said looking back at me. "But then again...I don't know...everything seemed to fit yesterday but now I look at it with the weird hand things and wonder if I'm just nuts."
"Hey I saw it too!" I said. "You can't be nuts about that."
"Then we're both nuts," She responded which made me fall over. Slowly getting up I looked at her even more. The brown hair she held wasn't much darker then Millys and also held really light highlights near the tips which was closer to Knive's hair. Her complextion was still a mystery to me. This girl was so light in a desert waist land it wasn't funny. The skin she held looked like it would tan quit easily with all the sun she had been getting but the strange thing is is that out of the past three days since I've known her it hasn't changed one bit. Then it hit me.
If she was from Gunsmoke then her skin would be darker, waaayyyyy darker then it is.
"I don't think your nuts," I said finally feeling good about my discovery. "Your to light Candy. Here on Gunsmoke you would be darker at your age growing up here. That proves either two things: One, that you grew up on Earth and did get here with that plushie thing you told me about or Two, you've lived under a rock for like ever." The way she looked at me was like a child who had discovered the final piece of the puzzle. A smile now adorned her face. "But that still doesn't explain how you did that weird light thing and you knew about the spider and butterfly thing."
"I don't know how I did it. and yah it does." She responded moving a piece of hair back behind her ear. "Back on Earth there is this comic book and cartoon series called Trigun. It told about your life up until the confrontation with Knives which led you to shoot him in both legs and arms."
I nearly fell over.
"...let me get this straight. On earth there is this TV show about ME and my brother?" I asked in bewilderment. She nodded slowly, I leaned back trying to take it all in. In the past there is a TV show showing the future of mankind as a cartoon and comic. This is really messed up. "So you know about Wolfwood?"
"Yeah the priest dude.." She said. "Who was secretly a gun ho gun but you grew on him so much he ended up dieing..."
This was REALLY super gigantic sized messed up. I had no privacy at all!!
My expression must have been pretty funny because the serious/exausted face she had on melted into a smile and a chuckle. I looked at her and couldn't help but laugh as well. Who knew all this would happen to end up bringing us together?
"Anyway," Her voice broke in. "I have a hard time sleeping in moving vehicles and all so I think I'm going to make up for lost time here," Turning she curled up on her side so her back didn't touch the bedding below her. I watched her for a few minutes seeing her breathing change from awake to a heavier slower pace telling me she was asleep. Going to the chair beside the bed facing her I sat down. I had no where to be in a hurry. This girl had intrigued me. That is why I stayed also the fact my brother saw her with me so he could step in and kill her at anytime just to spit me. Looking out the window once again the feeling of dread coming onto me. Rubbing my real hand I brushed my hair aside. I needed to take a shower and relax but with her in the hospital sleeping I couldn't leave her. Something brought this strange girl to Gunsmoke and I was sorta afraid that it would come and send her back. She hadn't acted like Meryl at the beginning. This strange girl knew who I was entirely and still didn't blink twice when she said she wanted to join up with me with my travels on Gunsmoke. Leaning back I felt tired so I decided to sleep right there. My brother wouldn't dare try to attack her or me in such a place.
(dream)
Blank faces...of blacks and grays in front of me. Their bleak eyes glaring upon me as if to condemn me for being what I was. Echos surrounded me as I stood there above the crowd. They where human voices...of long past tormenting me. They where the ones who had died because of my brother and my feud all these years. There was never a day I didn't cry for them.
"....Vash..." A voice said. Upon turning to it I saw a little girl...different from the others. Instead of the normal blacks and gray the rest where made up of she was white. Her hair was tied in braids by each of her ears. Her eyes where a brown that almost sparked out of her sockets as she stood there only three feet tall compared to my six. "...I thank you for taking care of them...I really do. But you should not be tormented over all their deaths. It is a natural thing for humans to die. You tried as you could to stop and succeeded in a lot of them. Cherish the ones you can save but don't drown in the sorrow over the ones you couldn't."
"...who are you?" I asked the girl in my dream who spoke of things no child could really comprehend.
"The question is Vash, what am I?" With the end of that sentence the girl seemed to break apart. I reached out to grab her, trying to stop it but only found in my hand a bunch of white feathers. Blinking I looked at them wondering what it all ment.
(end dream)
I woke up to a sneeze. It was a loud one. Opening an eye I saw Candy standing there with her white jacket on once again trying to bend down to pick something up.
"Hey!" I shouted jumping up and rushing to her side. "You can't be doing that! Jeez do you want the stitches to pop open again or something?! You could have just woken me up and I would have gotten it." A small weak smile came upon her features.
"..I'm sorry...it's just that you where sleeping and I didn't want to wake you up," Her quiet voice said as she avoided my eyes. I frowned slightly glaring at the girl.
"Next time do so! I don't want you to cause yourself more pain. I'll be happy to help." I put on a grin which somehow earned me a glare. I rubbed the back of my head wondering what happened exactly with her moods. "Well it was good that you weren't wearing your jacket."
"Yeah," She responded pulling her book bag up on a shoulder only to whimper in pain. Quickly I took it from her grasp and put it on my shoulder.
"I'll take that," I said brushing my hair back. She sat down on the bed that the sheets had been changed recently.
"Vash?" Her quiet voice cracked out.
"Yeah?" I responded wondering what had happened to make her act the way she was. This wasn't the girl that I had met at the hotel.
"Have you ever had one of those dreams that seemed to real..." She muttered rubbing her forehead.
"I guess," I responded sitting next to her looking down at her pale face. "But that's all it is is a dream if that's what is bothering you." Standing up I looked out the window for any sign of suspicious activity.
"Was Knives the reason why we came to Nevada?"
"Yes," I said turning to her. "Knives after being treated for the gun shots at a hospital left without a word to me. I was trying to find him when we met up because he had just left."
"O." She said looking down. "Maybe we shouldn't travel together since your brother is loose and threating to kill you."
"No, he knows your face now and probably figures a good way to get to me is to kidnap you. I can't leave you, it just won't work. You'll be in even more danger if you stay behind then traveling with me." I turned to her face to look at the response from her. Candy's face seemed to brighten slightly after I had said that. "Besides, being alone all the time sucks. Nobody should be alone." She nodded then stifling a yawn as well. "Shall we head?" Another nod came from her as we walked out the door. I paid the nurse what I owed bringing her here as we walked out and in the middle of the street. Turning her head she smiled slightly at me.
"Are we going to pursue your brother Vash?" She asked.
"No," I said after a long pause. Thinking about it all I came the the conclusion that he would find me before I found him and besides if I could stay alert enough, I could keep Candy safe while waiting for Knives to show up. We couldn't just stay in Nevada though, eventually my past would catch up with me here and Candy could be used as leverage for me to give up for the reward. My eye wondered toward the girl who stood there looking in the distance. She seemed to be laughing quietly. I looked ahead to see a bunch of kids with a little puppy. I couldn't help but laugh as well. It was quit a cute site. Somehow..somehow Candy made me not as worry as much about my brother just then. How the heck does she doe that? "Lets go to Wyoming." I turned.
"..Wyoming..." She muttered looking down slightly, her eyes seemed full of pain.
"Hey what's wrong?" I asked. Candy just shook her head.
"Nothing...Wyoming it is." She responded. "So do we rent a place to stay till the next bus or something?" I looked at her in bewilderment. I was sure that in my travels that in my few visits to the small town of Wyoming, nothing happened so I figured it hadn't been shown on her "TV" thing. Sighing I just let it go. With troubles like my brother in the near future I shouldn't dwell on a weird look she had held when I had mentioned Wyoming.
"Well Wyoming isn't very far but you have that wound to worry about. We could walk, it's only a few miles away. The bus won't be around for three days. We could get to Wyoming in a few hours." I said.
"I guess we could do that." She responded with a smile. "I can still move pretty well, it's just bending down that hurts." I nodded.
"Ok, then lets go!" I said.
