~Chapter 10~
( Vash's POV)
I watched Meryl as her eyes trailed after the bus disappearing into the shimmering heated sand. Her eyes looked beautiful. Yet. Its wasn't hard to tell she wasn't so happy. She had a frown on her face. Eyes now full or worry and her hand was gripped onto her bowtie at her chest. I always knew if she was overly reacted to something she had the urge to grip her bowtie. It made her look like a child. Worried and helpless in a way. At this moment I wanted to cradle her and tell her to put her worries aside. But I too was worried about Millie going off on her own. She too was a part of my life and.. I will miss her warm smiles and luminous laughs.
Jake stepped up to Meryl and placed his hand on her shoulder. I watched as he smiled at her, the sun showing his toll of age and dry skin.
"A smile is what you should have Ms. Meryl. You should wish your friend your out most luck on her journey and think about what good effects will become of her.." he chuckled lightly turning from them walking back into his hotel. I watched as Meryl's eyes lowered and her hair lightly brush across her face. Tears still seemed to stream down her face.
Stepping up to her I put my hand on her cheek sliding it up into her hair lifting back the fallen locks. Her eyes met mine. She looked so distressed. All together I wanted to take her away from her sorrow but there's boundaries of a woman that you cant cross. Especially when their sad or stressed. You never really know how they'd react. I put on a light sheepish smile. I didn't care. I just want to make her happy. If it takes a few embarrassing moves to make her happy, I'll risk it.
Meryl suddenly wrapped her arms around my waist leaning her head onto my chest. Her heart was beating at a fast pace. Her body trembled against mine and her sweet sent rose to meet my senses. I embraced her with what I could give. She's everything to me. I wont.. Let you go…
(End of Vash's POV) ~~~~~~ (Meryl's POV)
Just watching the bus disappear made me fell too distant from her. My partner. My friend. My hope. She was vanishing in the sand with a part of me. Millie. I promise I'll tell you everything.. I.. Already miss you..
I felt tears spring to my eyes as I looked down. I felt lonely and naked without her by me. It was like the wind was toying with me brushing against my body reminding me that her warm body by my side was not going to be there.
I looked up as Vash held my cheek. He looked just as hurt as me. His hand gave warmth to my tear stained face. A light smile grew on his lips. He looked beautiful. His smiles never seemed to crease their meaning's and neither do they not make you smile. Always warm and inviting. That's how he always was. Ready to invite you to his embraces and making a fool of himself to make you laugh. Handsome Vash. My Handsome Vash. I love you so much.
I reached out to his waist wrapping my arms around him, pressing my body against him to give him my full embrace from my petite body. I must be like a child to him. I'm barely half his size and he always seems to notice my emotions. Besides he is older than me. Way older. Was I really like a child to him?..
I felt his body press against mine as he returned my embrace.
Always understanding. One of the things I love about him.
( End of Meryl's POV)
( I know these POV's are super short… BUT THAT'S ALL I COULD THINK OF!! ^'_^;;;;; )
Finally after escaping each others grasp they both started to walk into the town. They both wanted to discuss what they were planning on doing from here on. In two days they we're going to leave. There was no question about it. And Vash wasn't going to involve anyone in this up coming dilemma. That man.. He was waiting for him and not Meryl. If only Vash he had stayed in his room. Or followed Meryl when she left. He could have faced the man. Get a clear look at his face. Was Knives really after him yet again?.
They both walked into a old bar. They didn't want to disturb Jake. He already had people packing into his hotel that they didn't want to trouble him with their presence. This bar was halfway full. People chatting amongst themselves, the bar tending gossiping, and waitresses taking orders to their impatient customers. Now sat at a table Vash looked across to Meryl. She was already staring at him. Something wasn't right about her. It worried him.
"We're leaving in two days.. I'm not sure yet where we're going.. But.. I just don't want it to be near this town or any town.." Vash said. Meryl nodded. Her eyes grew weary. She looked like she wanted to say something. Something she really wanted to tell him. But something was stopping her. "What's wrong Meryl?" Vash questioned he. He leaned a bit forward on the table as if he couldn't hear her clearly, though she haven't even began to speak yet.
"You haven't… Told me what happened with your brother.. Vash.. When you came back.. I only saw him a few times when he was lying in your room unconscious … What happened? Why did he leave? Is he still thinking all human's are bad?" Meryl asked still with questions seeping into her head. Vash's eyes narrowed. His face was nearly turned upside down from a smile to a frown within seconds. Meryl hated when that happened. To her it was like her whole world was turning the wrong way. Well.. Vash was mostly her whole world now. She loved him and doesn't want to ever let him go. If he'd leave her… She wouldn't know what to live for. Of course there's Millie but.. She wasn't going to be there forever. She would have her child and then raise a family of her own. Meryl had family but they we're distant and kept to themselves. Matter in fact.. She barely knew her family.
"Gomenasai.. I shouldn't have brought it up.. I'm sorry Vash.. I-" her emotions where catching up with her too fast. She caught the glance of Vash smiling at her. It was so relieving. Like Cold water running over your body in a hot day. Vash was her relic. And that's all she needed.
"I should have told you both, You and Millie already. I've been keeping it to myself for so long. I didn't want to say it. I love my brother but I hate him at the same time. I want to kill him but I wish for him to live. I have so much mixed emotions for him, I'm afraid of saying the wrong things. When I brought him back I cared for him and tended to his wounds. But his heart is so tainted I wasn't able to wash his body of hate. I would give my life to make him see reality.. But then there would have been no meaning to my journey of trying to kill my brother. When he was healed. He would taunt me of me being with worthless spiders. I couldn't stand it. One day I punched him. I hated him. When he laughed and said I was worthless. I loved him. He didn't hit me. He stared at me while I lectured him hearing my every word. He listened for the first time." Vash said in a sort of low voice.
Meryl thought about it. It could have been Knives was in shock when he hit him. But. To think he would have fought back would have been different. He was always going to be a heartless bastard in her heart but in Vash's he was his brother. And his adversary.
"What happened after that?" Meryl asked. She was a bit impatient to know what happened. If Vash could have at least done something about his opinion on humans. But what was there to expect?. Knive's was truly a man without a heart. He was indeed beyond being human to her. He was a monster.
"After laughing he left. I let him walk out the door behind me. What was I to do? Stop him and forcefully lock him up in a room?. That would make him worse. I didn't know what to do at that time…I really didn't know" Vash was saying as he leaned back in his chair a bit. He looked like as if he was struck down from his time of joy. All crease of happiness seemed to be forever lost in his expression. "Vash.." Meryl started without thinking. He was looking at her now. Once she called his name he almost lost all trail of thought.
"Because you are here today.. You made a choice.. There are never two choices… There's to go with it.. or not.. But in this matter there's one for you, to stand down and wait… Maybe" her voice became a bit heftier, "This was fate.. And Fate will lead to your last decision " Meryl said smiling at him. Her smile brightened up the light around him giving a soft glow against his cheeks. What she said was right. Has he forgotten that there's always more then one way?. Never only having options?. How could he forget?!. Vash suddenly began to laugh. Meryl stared at him in confusion, "What? What is it?".
"You never seem to surprise me.." Vash said quieting a bit. Meryl smiled. She too started to laugh. When they both broke out laughing. Mostly everyone in the room looked at them like they were crazy. A waitress severed them water and Vash had one of his favorite snacks. Yeah.. Who would have guessed.. "Doughnuts!!!" Vash yelled gobbling down the large plate full of them. Meryl's eyes became beady as she stared at him. "The wonders of how much this one typhoon can stick in his stomach… The world may never know.." she thought. She took one off the plate and rose it to her lips. Before she took a bite into it something caught her eye. It…It was that man from yesterday. The one she ran into. He was looking her way from the table behind Vash. His face was covered by a shadow and his arms was crossed over his muscular chest. Meryl's eyes seemed to stay on him. She saw him rise up out of seat and drop money on the table. The shadow on his face lifted almost past his dark blue hair. He was smiling at her. His lips began to move slowly. Meryl now in shock read them as best as she could,
"You must be Meryl… My master has been waiting to see you and Vash… Why don't you be a good girl and kill Vash for him. He'd be at most grateful.."
Meryl suddenly felt her body react on its own. Her arm began to tremble and her doughnut feel out of her grasp. Vash looked up at her. "Meryl?" he began to ask. Her hand swiftly led its way under the table sliding into her coat where she took hold of one of her ankle guns. She already had his finger on the trigger. "Ah….ahh…no.." she chocked trying to warn Vash. Vash's eyes grew wide he got up making the doughnuts fall off the table, "MERYL?!" he yelled. Meryl stood up quickly pointing her gun at Vash. She began to speak… But it wasn't her.. "Its been a while.. Vash.. The stampede…" she said now with a man's voice. "Vash the Stampede?!" The bar tender yelled. "AHH!! Lets get out of here!!" The people in the bar screamed. The people in the bar began to run out yelling and screaming out Vash's name, tipping over their drinks, making them smash against the floor. While they rushed out they practically knocked down anything in their past. Except the area around Vash and Meryl. "…No!.. Your.. Your.." Vash started to say stepping back making his chair tip over, "Legato?!".
"That's right.. It is a honor.. We can finally meet.. Once more.." Meryl said now with her face growing bitter.
Vash spun around. No one was there. Everyone was gone. When her turned back to Meryl was beside him having her gun pointed to his head as he looked forward towards the bar. "Listen closely.. Vash.. My master wishes to see you.. And if you don't cooperate.." Meryl turned the gun to her head.
"No!! STOP! PLEASE! Leave her out of this!!" Vash pleaded. He heard Legato's laughter echo through Meryl. Vash closed his eyes tight. Shit! What was he to do?! If he would just knock that gun out of her hand…No! He cant.. Meryl has ton's more guns hiding under her cloak. Damn it!. Vash opened his eyes turning them to look at Meryl. Tears were streaming down her face. She was also trembling. "This woman of yours is very persistent Vash.." Legato said slyly through Meryl. … It was almost another one of those times. Back when he was stuck on that cliff with Legato. Vash had his gun pointed to his head and Legato was awaiting his death. If Vash wouldn't kill him.. Meryl and Millie would die. He could only think of one decision. To kill Legato. But it's different. He couldn't shoot the person who threatens to take their life or his. Though it was not her choice. She would be the one to die. Not Legato.
"I'll go! Just leave the woman alone!" Vash yelled. It caught Meryl in surprise. Or.. At least… Legato.
"You must go back to where you first shot your weapon. The first time you had intentions to kill with a false heart" Meryl said,
"He will be waiting…"
