Ch.1 vash

"Vash!"

Knives called out for his brother angrily. Vash rushed up his brother's bedroom as fast as he could to stop knives from shouting and waking his other guest.

"What? What's wrong?"

Vash asked looking worried that knives might be hurt…well any more hurt that he already is.

" What is this?"

Knives asked trying to get up, but couldn't because he was strapped down to the bed. Knives had been out for two weeks and Vash thought that it would be a good idea to make sure that knives could not hurt any one or even himself.

"Sorry Knives, I had to, you know how your are when you first wake up"

Vash said trying to make the atmosphere less heavy…it didn't work, and all his joke earned was a icy glare from the immobile Knives.

"Let. Me. Go"

Knives demanded in a deathly quite whisper.

"No Knives, your hurt and you need to stay down and I wont let you go not until you calm down!"

The younger twin stated firmly and trying to give knives the same frosty glare but not succeeding. Knives took the moment to look Vash over, he looked terrible! He had dark circles under his aqua greed eyes; his normally shiny blonde hair looked greasy and was falling into his eyes. His cloths looked unwashed and wrinkled. Knives snorted.

"You kook like shit"

He said and looked away. Vash smiled a little and shook his head. He was heading for the door when he heard a soft groan coming from the other side of the room. Knives heard it too and looked to see what or who it was that made that noise. He could see, in the dimly lit room the outline of a tall man with what looked like black hair.

"Chapel!"

Knives shouted, unbelieving.

I thought I had him killed

Knives thought bitterly. Vash rushed over to his friend who was beginning to stir.

"Wolfwood?"

Vash whispered softly. Vash had been so lucky to find the priest in the church and had gotten him to a doctor. Now he was all healed up and had been staying with Vash and Knives unknowingly. Wolfwood stirred a little and cracked and eye open.

"Wolfwood!"

Vash said rather loudly.

"Not so loud tongari, my head really hurts."

Vash blushed at his own stupidly.

"Sorry, wait here for a moment."

Vash said softer this time.

Like I'm going anywhere

Wolfwood thought sarcastically. He took the moment to look around the room. Nothing fancy, just a simple bedroom with a desk, a dresser drawer one, window, and knives tied down to a bed…wait second! Wolfwood looked over to the other bed and saw knives glaring at him form the other side.

What's he doing here?

Just that moment Vash walked in with a try with some food and water on it accompanied by a bottle of pills. Vash set the tray down on the desk and handed Wolfwood a bowl of nice smelling soup.

"Here, this should help you get your strength back and I bet your hungry?"

Wolfwood nodded, temporally forgetting knives to focus on the blond angel in front of him.

(A.N.yes this will be a yaoi story, I just couldn't help it.)

Vash got up and went to knives with a bowl for him to eat as well. He sat down next tow his brother and filled a spoon full of the soup and held it to knives lips.

"Open up knives, its beef I know its your favorite."

Vash smiled and knives twitched. That was right. And it annoyed him to no end that Vash would remember that fact about him. Vash put a little more pressure to knives lips.

"open up Knives"

Vash joked. Knives narrowed his eyes and turned his head a way.

"come on Knives, you need to eat something."

Knives turned up his nose in defiance. That's when Vash snapped, he was too tired to have to put up with this crap.

"look Knives, if your going to act like a baby then I'm going to feed you like one!"

he warned. Knives huffed and turned a way. Vash had had it. He had no sleep since Knives had been here and he was a little cranky. He grabbed Knives face and forced his jaw open and shoved some soup down his thought and held his mouth closed until he swallowed. Knives was shocked! His brother and never shown this kind of aggressiveness towards him only once and that was their fight. Wolfwood was shocked too, he had never seen vash act that way before. Before Knives could say any thing vash had shoved another spoon full of hot soup in his mouth, burning his tong.

"now, you can just eat what I give you or I can keep force feeding you, it's your choice."

Vash shouted shocking both men. Knives silently nodded and opened his mouth for Vash to feed him. Wolfwood was wondering if he should tell vash to calm down or burst into laughter. Seeing Vash yell at Knives and then feeding him was just too funny! Knives were feeling pretty low. Once he and Vash where done he gave Knives some water and pain killers then sat down to eat his own lunch, face flushed with anger. After a long silence Wolfwood was brave enough to speak.

"So, Vash, where are the girls?"

He asked carefully so as to not upset the blond any more. Vash's angers face fell into a sad expression.

"They left"

He sat quietly. Wolfwood dared not press the matter further. Once Vash finished out his meal in silence he took the dirty dishes down stairs and put them in the sink. When he returned he was about to go in and tell them about the "other guest" he heard a soft groan coming from down the hall. He disappeared from knives and Wolfwood sight for a moment. When he returned both men where giving him confused looks.

"What was that about?"

Wolfwood asked.

"Legato"

Vash sighed and sat down. The word emideatly caught both of their attion.

"Why would you say that?"

Wolfwood asked looking scared. He rembered how the blue haired maniac tried to kill him.

"He's in the other room"

Vash told him. Both Wolfwood and knives hearts stopped.

"What do you mean 'he's in the other room'? I thought you killed him…oh Vash, your not keeping a corpse are you"

"No knives of course not, its just that…when I shot him it didn't go al the way through."

"What do your mean by that?"

"What I mean is that, when he I shot him the bullet got lodged in his brain I took him to a hospital and they removed it. They said that he should be fine since the bullet didn't do as much damage as it should have."

Vash said looking guilty.

"So I have been taking care of him while he recovers."

Wolfwood spoke up:

"Vash why would you want to save a crazy psycho? He's dangerous"

"Don't worry it will be fine"

Vash said, not entirely sure that he even believed him self.

"Is that why the girls left? He's the reason their gone"

Wolfwood said looking angry. Vash didn't say anything. That was right, that was the reason they left.

"We'll discuss this later, alright?"

wolfwood was about to protest but soon he found himself getting very tired. Vash had failed to mention that one if the painkillers was a sleeping pill for both knives and wolfwood. Vash covers them both up and silently left the room. He went to check on his other charge and found him sleeping peacefully now, he replaced his washcloth and sat beside him. Vash was nervous about having legato here but he couldetn tell wolfwood that. He knew that legato was killer but was it really his fault? I mean he was just following orders right? Its not like he knew better? That all didn't matter right now, vash was going to change them even if it killed him.

Ripper: well that was the first chapter, what did you think? Pleas give me lots of reviews. I do have the next two chapters done if people like what i'm righting.
