Angel of Light:Chapter 9
Disclaimer:I don't own Trigun!
***********************
It was 5:38 in the morning which is really early to get up,but some people actually get up a that time either because they need time to get ready or they have too.Well Arika definetly did not want to get up at this time nor did she have too,but she couldn't help it she couldn't sleep.Arika looked over at Melanie who was snoring softly and was envious at the fact that she was able to sleep and not her,but she shut off thoughs envious thoughs and thought that it would be terrible to want Melanie not to get sleep.....she couldn't be selfish. She got up off her bed and went to the window.She saw some kind of light on the horizon but it was mostly dark.To early to do anything theirs were still weridoes outside.She was confined to this room.
Arika:'Great,This is just great I get up early and guess what I get to just stare blankly out the window.'she said with bitterness.'I don't want to think....right now....it hurts when I think of what happened yesterday.I could feel myself moving yesterday I went down stares.....I ......I don't remember what happened next.'She thought worriedly.
******************
Damian was listening to her thoughs.
Legato:"Are you going to be sending anyone else to get her to exercise her energy."
Damian:"........"
Legato:"Hello.....?"
Damian:"I heared you .....I'm thinking"
Legato:"Well?"
Damian:"I don't think so........."
Legato:"Why not.....?Right now is perfect."
Damian turned his head torward Legato.
Damian:"Because I said so."He said and was about to say more but decided against it.
Legato:".............."Legato left.
Damian:'Sleep Arika........'He said.
*********************
Arika suddenly felt tired.
Arika:"(yawn)'I......I think I can sleep now........'she tested out her theory by returning to her bed and pulled the covers over her and soon was in a peaceful slumber.
The sun came up from the horizon and started it journey up the sky.It was around 7:24 when Arika woke up once again but this time refreshed for a new day.
Arika:"Ah....much better!she said happily.
Melanie:"(yawn)Well good for you I had terrible sleep."
Arika:"What but I saw...um....nevermind."
Melanie:"What?"she said getting up?"
Arika:"Nothing"
Melanie:(sly grin)....Why did you come tumbling into the room last night?"
Arika:"What do think?"
Melanie:"Did Vash try...."
Arika:"No!"~'Shut up you sick minded little girl!'
Melanie:"I am not a little ......Ack....."
Arika had thrown a pillow at Melanie...
Melanie:"grr........"
Arika grabed the clothes she was going to ware and ran to the bathroom and locked the door.
Arika:"HA HA!"
Melanie:"I am not a little girl and I'm not sick minded VASH IS!!!!!!
Some guy was walking outside the room and heard all the yelling and well he just walked by the room quickly.......
********************
Vash ,Wolfwood and Knives sleep in their seprate beds peacefully.....untill Knives and Wolfwood heard the noise in the other room.
Wolfwood:"Ack...."He said and fell out of his bed.
Knives:"What the ****!? SHUT UP OVER THERE!"he said and hit the wall which made a hole.
Melanie ran to see that Knives had punch a hole in the wall.
Melanie:"Oh....your in big......trouble knives!"She said with emphasis on big.
Knives:"Shut up!"
Melanie:"No!"
Wolfwood:"Um yeah why were you yelling?"he said.
Melanie:"Um Well it was nothing...."
Wolfwood:"......Okay......."he said thinking yeah right.....but didn't care to much about it.
Vash was still asleep and well you kinda wonder how he could still be sleeping.Knives decided it was his job to wake up his dearist brother.
Knives:"Oh Vash......GET UP!!!"He said and throw Vash like a rag doll to the ground.
Vash:"OWIE! Knives why did you do that!"he said and wiped the sleep out of his eyes.
Knives:"Time to get up bro."
Vash:"That was a rough wake up call."he said with googly eyes.
Knives:"Only for you dearest brother......"he said with a smirk.
Vash:"Hey why is there a hole in the wall?"
Wolfwood:"Knives decided that there should be one.......doesn't it look lovely."he said sarcastically.
Vash:"Oooo isn't that Arika's room "He said and ran to the hole in the wall but saw no Arika."Oh...wheres Arika?"
Melanie:"She left....."
Vash:"Oh really?I've got to talk to her.he said and ran out the door.He fell asleep in his clothes because Knives knocked him out last night.
He saw Arika walking towards the food court and ran faster.
*********************
Arika was hungry and well if you would go into her mind right now you'd see that there the word food in large print with lots of different foods she would like to eat.Which is good and all but some people love food to much and well that's why there are Obese people.Like the one that walked down the hallway toward Vash........
Vash:'Wow that's one big women....not in the right places though......'
O.lady:"Excuse me mister...."she said and tried to squeeze through..
Vash:'Eeekkkk Scary.....'he thought as she kinda squished Vash while passing even though the hall was a pretty good size. 'Help....' he thought but finally she squeeze through.
O.lady:"Sorry hun...."
Vash:"Um....oh....um...no...problem.....heh heh,......"he said a little jidery and ran off to find Arika.
Vash:"ARIKA!"
Arika turned around.
Arika:'Vash'
Vash stoped and hugged her.
Arika:"ACK,Let go!"
Vash:"But don't you luv me....?"he said with his flirting eyes.
Arika:" Nope."she said
Vash:"You don't....?"he said with googly eyes."But you used my name yesterday!Does that mean that you at least respect me now?"
Arika:'Oh yeah.....'~"No....I was unconscious and tired.
Vash:"You didn't seem tired or unconscious to me......."
Arika:"How would you know what I feel?
Vash:(shrug)
Arika:"Exsakly!"
Vash:"Anyway I wanted to ask you something......"
Arika:"What?"she said.
Vash:"Um....would you like to eat breakfest with me?"
Arika:We are going to the food court right now...."
Vash:"No I mean....like ....at a restaurant ."
Arika:"Oh.....um....why?"
Vash:"I don't know because I want to and I'm Hungry......"
Arika:"Ne......okay......come on I'm hungrey too"She said and started walking.
Vash:"Great!"
Arika:'I have a bad feeling about this....'She thought."Which restaurant do you want to go to,or did you not think of that yet.
Vash:"I haven't the faintes idea what restaurant they have here.
Arika:"Well expected that from you......:"
Vash::"What is that suppost to mean?"He said looking at Arika with sad eyes.
Arika:"N...nothing just that you never have things planed out."
Vash:"Oh...."
Arika:"Anyways let go and look around.
Vash:"Okay!"he said happy again.
They search for awhile and finally found a decent resterant.They deceded to get in there order and dig in!.....They looked there menues and looked at the large selection of food.
Arika:"Hey Vash have you made up your mind up yet about what your going to order?
Vash:"Nope."
Arika:"I have......"She said and folded her menu and put on the table.
Vash:(smiles)What are you going to have?
Arika:"Hm I'm going to get ."she said but didn't finish because Vash was staring at her and she didn't like it........."Stop looking at me like that!"
Vash:"But I can't help it that I'm looking at you were sitting across from each other."
Arika:"So .........."
Vash just stared.
Arika started getting uncomfortable.she shifted under his stare.In order to escape his stare she took her menu to sheild his smile.She kept looking every once in a while to see if he was still staring and of course he was.
Arika:"Stop staring!"she hissed.
Vash just grinned.
Arika:'I'd like to strangle that stupid grinning face of his....(peek from her menu )Damn why is he doing this does he want to get his face punched in?'
Vash: 'Hehehe....this is funny.She looks so cute when she embarrassed or mad.'
Finally a waitress came to take there orders,but she took Arika's menu with her.Arika's only salvation from Vashes' annoying hansome/stupid face.
Arika:'DAMN IT ALL!I'm about to lunge at Vash and rip him a part.'She said and put her head down and closed her eyes.'I would do so if we weren't in this stupid resterant!Oh well it will be worth it.Once we finally get to eat.
Arika had ordered pancakes with strawberries and whip cream.(AN:YUMMY)Vash order Steak and eggs.(AN:EQUALLY YUMMY)If she didn't get taken away by police men from beating Vash into a pulp she would be fine........heh heh.....yep......
Arika open her eyes to see Vash face upclose and personal....
Arika:"Ack" she yelled and fell of the edge of the booth.
Vash:"Are you okay?"He said oblivious of the fact that it was his fault.
Arika:"BAKA....."She said in a low angry voice and lunged at him held on to his trench coat caller and was about to punch him when the waitress came back with there orders.She let go of Vash and sat across from him.The Life Saving Food had come,not to mention Sanity Saving.They eat silently.Vash keeping his eyes to himself.He didn't want to get his face punched in.Even though Vash had a high IQ he really didn't show it all the time and well he acts like an idiot most of the time.
Vash:'I didn't mean to get Arika so angry I was trying to get her to laugh again.I've notice that she rarely laughs or smiles.Well....real smiles are hard to come by with her.I hope she will forgive me.'
They finished there food and sat there for awhile digesting there breakfast.When along came Milly and Wolfwood.Milly spot Arika and Vash first.
Milly:"Hey guys!"
Arika:"Oh hi"she said not in the mood to be happy.
Vash:"Hello!"He said trying to sound happy.
Milly:"Can we sit here with you guys?"
Arika:"Sure"She said but moved to the otherside of the booth next to Vash for Milly and Wolfwood could sit together.
Milly:"Oh you didn't have to move."
Arika:"It's okay um were going to leave soon........."
Wolfwood wisper something into Milly's ear then Milly giggled.
Milly:"Wolfie your so romantic!"(AN:LOL WOLFIE! hehe)
Arika:"Um were leaving leaving now......Heh heh...."She said and walked away from the table.She hates to sees all that lovey dovey junk.There was is two kinds of loves.first is Non corny love second is corny love oh and one more extra corny love.Milly's and Wolfwood's love was in the middle but still it just annoying......
**************
Vash:'Hey Arika left me to pay for the bill and left me with the lovebirds......that was mean......'
The waitress:"Um heres the bill."
Wolfwood:"Um can you clean this table off were going to eat here."
The waitress:"Sure thing"
Vash:"Here this should cover it...."
The waitress:"Yep you can go now..."
Vash:'That's good I thought I didn't have enough.....'
***************
Arika was waiting outside for Vash.She actually wanted to ditch him but she couldn't do that.
Vash:"Hey you made me pay all of the bill......."
Arika:"You asked me if I wanted to have breakfast with you ,your suppose to pay.If I asked I would pay......."
Vash:"I guess that is fare....."
Arika:"Of course it is.....Now um come with me to get art supplies.she said and started walking.
Vash:"Oh....okay .....Do you know if there is one......"
Arika:"Nope but we might fined one.This is a pretty big town.
Vash:"Yeah I guess......"
They walked around and looked everywhere untill they finally found one.....
Arika:"Oh....um I won't take long so...."
Vash:"No it's okay I'll come with you...."
Arika:"Okay...."She said and went into the story.She went to get pencils and got a 2B pencil ,charcal ,Ink a caligragh pen and some paint brushes.She was done now and turn to see that Vash was playing with the model made of wood of a person.He was making it dance."Okay little baka take my hand and hold on tight because I don't want to lose you in this big store.
Vash:"Hey ....That's not funny....."
Arika:"Yes it is....."
Vash:"Well at least I'm not acting like an boring mature pers..."Vash didn't finish....
Arika:"................"
Vash:"Not that your boring.....um"
Arika:"............."
Vash:'Damn,I wanted to make Arika happy,not kill me....Stupid,stupid......I should never open my mouth again.
Arika just shrugged it off and went to pay for the art supplies.
Vash:'Not saying anything at all is worst than her yelling at me.Now I don't know what she is thinking..........oh.......now she hates me and it's all my fault.......'
Arika:"Come on Baka....."she said with no trace of hatered
Vash:"Okay......"Vash said with hope.
They walk outside and they now where thinking of what to do now,but when Vash saw someone wheeling around an ice cream cart he knew what he wanted to do or in this case get.
Vash:"Arika....look ice cream....."
Arika:"But we just ate....."
Vash:"Yeah but we didn't have dessert because of Milly and Wolfwood.
Arika:"But you don't have any money....."
Vash:"Please Arika?"He said and put a scope of his puppy dog eyes and added sparkles.
Arika:"Okay my son"
Vash:"Yeeeyyyy!Hey don't call me that......"
Arika:"Hehe....but you talking like and acting like a little boy."
Vash:"But I am a Man!"he declaired and posed.
Arika thought of an idea.
Vash:"(giggle)Hey stop it.......... I'm ticklish okay!"
Arika:"Oh wow your just so manly...."
Vash:"Oh....go for my ego will you....?"
Arika:"That's where it hurts the most."
Vash:"Well actually.......um........Well that's not very nice..."
Arika:"You asked for it....."
Vash:"Okay,okay,but um can I have some money...Please?"
Arika:"No"
Vash:"Please?"He said with googly eyes.
Arika:"Beg"
Vash:"(bark) (bark)
Arika:"Wow you really want ice cream,huh?"
Vash:"(has his tongue out and breathing through his mouth.)
Arika:"Okay Vash You don't have to do that ...I didn't think you were going to....."
Vash:"Okay.....so ......"
Arika:"Here...."she said...."It's fair because you paid for the breakfast.I'm going to the bar."
Vash"Thanks....,um you drink?"
Arika:"Nope im just going to get some water and I guess I'll buy you a drink too.....so meet me there okay?"
Vash:"Okay......Were did he go...?
Arika:"Go look for him."
Vash:"Okay bye"
Arika:"Bye"
*******************
Melanie,Meryl,and Knives where alone in the hotel with can be a very bad thing.....
Melanie:"Knives why don't you go outside to see all your girlfriends......"
Knives:"..........."Knives was reading a book he had bought and was really getting into it so he didn't her Melanie.
Melanie had a sly smile on her face.....
Meryl was taking a nice long bath....and yeah she pampered herself......with many bath pleasures..............
*******************
Arika was walking towards the bar when she spoted someone......it was Steven......She didn't know why but she wanted to talk to him.She ran up to and said.
Arika:"Hey....."
Steven turned around.
Arika:"Where you that guy that was talking to us?"
Steven:"Um yes....um .....I am sorry if I cause you....."he started but didn't finish.
Arika:"No.....it's okay no apologies is neccesary...."
Steven:"Oh......well what can I help you with....?"
Arika:"Well I am alittle confused about yesterday....um.....I can't really remember.Do you?"
Steven:"No....no I'm afraid I don't......but I wonder if it's not just a coincedence that we have no or little memory of yesterday......"
Arika:"Yeah me too....."
Steven:"Well if that's all you need......"
Arika:"Yes,thank you for your time......bye"she said and walked away.
Steven:"Bye"
Arika went to the Bar and ordered water and a drink for Vash.The bar was quiet and basically empty exsept for some guys sitting in the shadows.
Arika:"*sigh*~I wonder what's going on......It's probably best I don't know but still.....(takes a sip of her water)'I hope Vash comes back soon......Wait why do I want Vash to come...?Because he and idoit.........no.....because..........'Her thoughts were interupted when some guy and his gang came up to her.
guy 1:"Hey are you here alone?"
Arika knew this couldn't be good.She saw his comrades behind her.She had to be on alert.
Arika:"No....I am waiting for someone......"she said truthfully.
Guy1:Oh.....really for who....?"
Arika:"Vash....."
Guy1:"HUh?......."he said then went in to a terrible hissing laughter."Yeah um do you mean Vash the Stampede?
Arika:"Yes...."
Guy1 went to another horrible fit of laughter......obviously drunk he was not able to keep himself up he fell to the ground with the same hissing laughter that would haunt someone for years or a laugh you hear when nobodies around and the powers out.
Guy2:"Hey are you his bitch or something......."
Guy3:Yeah he may be one evil son of a bitch but he got to have someone to keep him warm at night.....hahahaha......"
Guy4:"She should be ours to play with....."
Arika:'God....help me and make these idiots go away.....'she said trying to pray to God because she needed comfort.
Guy1:"Yeah.....maybe...."he said getting up."Hey Bartender get us some drinks......"
Bartender:"I will not serve someone that treats good young ladies wrong."He declaired.
Guy1:"Well then.....looky what we have here a gental butt head man ...."
Arika:'Gental butt head man?Does this guy have a way with words or what?!'
Bartender:"I will not serve you.....no matter what....."
Guy1:"Well ya know .....I don't like you anyways ......bye!"he said and shot him in the head.
The Bartender and the cup he was cleaning fell with him to his side and plumited to the ground.
Guy1:"Hey since he's sleeping on the job let's get our own drinks."he said and walked over the bartenders body.
Guy,2,3,4:"Yeah!"
Arika:"Was about to callapes because she couldn't stand the fact that the man died on a whim of a terrible man.It was her fault she thought and she could have stoped it.
Arika:'It's my fault I should have never have gone to the bar alone.She said and stared down at the poor dead man.....
Guy1:"Hey sweety why so gloomy....?"he said as if he didn't know."Oh don't worry that man died for a good reason...."he said in a nice voice but the things he said was not nice at all."He died for we can have booze!"he said with a loud annoying voice.
Arika:"So that's your idea of a good reason?"
Guy1:"Hell yes,baby!"
Arika:"How can you say that.....you......!"she didn't finish because he slaped her and her back hit the bar counter and knock over the glass of water which shattered into many peices.
Guy2:"Bitch!"
Guy1:"Who do you think you are......babe?"
Arika:"..............."
Guy1:"Exsakly......Nothing....!Your just our bitch....."
Everything that Arika hated was happening, said,and or done.All the thinks that they had said was playing over and over in her head......"Your just our bitch"......,"Hey are you his bitch or something","She should be ours to play with"....and more.....like calling her babe,sweety,baby......but most of all that hissing laughter that horrible laughter that came from his filthy dirty mouth.It played in her head over and over again She wanted to stop it
Guy1:"Hey um don't worry about anything sweety well take good care of you....."
Guy4:"Well take really good care of you,hehehe"
Arika reached behind her for a peace of glass.She was in her trance like state again.The laughter of this terrible man and the words never left her mind.She wanted to stop it all she wanted it to die for she didn't have to listen to that retched laugh.DIE!!!
Oh course it wouldn't make the laughter go away.It would still play in here head every once in awhile.It would make them die,and that's not right.They were annoying and nasty to the highest level.They were ruthless and uncaring and carry out they whims on a heart beat,but they still had a right to live.We must all live and makes sure that others live even if they are going to probably hurt you in the worst possible way.Life must reign through the land because with out it we all simply wouldn't be here.
Guy1 saw a sharp peice of glass coming towards him and caught it."Your a sneeky one you are.
Arika was came out of her trance like state.....'Huh what.....happened?.....Oh don't tell me I tryed to kill him....?This is terrible'
Guy1:"So you wanna play rough,huh?I'll play your game......"he said and squeezed her hand against the peice of glass.
Arika moaned in pain.That was her right hand.She didn't want to be here I guess her prayers weren't going to be answered and she was just going to be another satistic.Please someone,anyone save me and put an end to this.
Suddenly Vash came in ice cream in hand.Took lick of his ice cream and noticed something wrong.The gang members looked up at him speechless.Finally Vash saw Arika and also saw a sharp piece of glass embeded into her palm and blood oozing from it and her face it look like someone slaped her.......He droped his ice cream cone.
Guy3:"The gurly was telling the truth!She was waiting for Vash the Stampede!!!!"
Vash:'Arika!'~"What is going on here?!"
Arika:'Vash..........'she said relieved.
Guy1:"Oh um were trying to get the glass from her palm.The poor thing got in stuck in her little hand."He said smoothly and then pull out his gun and shot at Vash but of course he missed.Vash dogded thoughs bullets and dashed up to him got his gun from his and elbowed him the floor.He fell to the floor with an umph....and the rest of the gang backed away.Vash turned around and saw Arika was now and the floor.She saw his face and thought is this Vash?Vash had his eyebrows tightly together.....The Vash she knew was never really serious and acted like an idiot most of the time.Vash was different she felt like he was a stranger to her now,but then Vash sence this and tryed to smile for her.She felt alittle better knowing that the Vash she knew was still there.Vash went infront of her for no more harm to come to her.He motioned her to go behind the bar but then saw a man laying on the ground,and looked at Arika and the look that she gave him said "they did it."Vash knodded and turned to the gang.
Guy1got up and said."What are you butt heads waiting for kill him!"
The rest of the gang hesitated for a minute but then aimed and shot at Vash and some how he dogde all the bullets and went to the closes guy some how opened his gun the bullets come flying out and Vash grabed some of them the rest hit the gang.He put them in his gun.Aimed,shoot all of the guns from the all there hands.
Arika:'Wow it sounded like it was only one shot but look all the guns our out of there hand........GO VASH!'she cheered Vash on,but then turn to look at the dead bartender.'Mabe just mabe he's alive still........There has been cases when someone got shot in the head and survive right?Please still be alive 'She thought and reach over with two fingers to check his pulse. 'Nothing.......he gone.......'She crossed his arm over the other and prayed in hopes that his soul would go to heaven.She tired to lace her fingers but the glass in her had prevented her from doing so.So she put her left hand on the back of her right hand and tried to close it as much as she could.
Guy1 lunged himself at Vash but he shifted and took guy1's arm and throw him toward the entrance.
The rest of the gang were on the ground hoping that Vash the Stampede will let them live.They were able to kill a man on whim but not able to give up their lives.They were pathetic scum.The low lifes of this town and now they were getting what they deserved.But Vash even thought he really wanted to just get ride of them for hurting Arika and getting on his nerves he just couldn't do that.It would go against everything he believed in.So he didn't.
Arika:'Why is Vash just standing there?'she thought.
guy1 was starting to gain consiousness he saw Vash just standing there as his gang just watch him in fear.He notice he wasn't paying attention to Arika or him........
Arika:'I wonder what Vash thinking about....?'
With a flick of a finger and a flash his wepon a simple pocket knife.Guy1 got himself ready, jumped Arika and grabed her right hand and grabed her around the waist with knife in hand and held her in front of him.Vash snaped his head around and saw that guy 1 had a knife to Arika's throut.
Guy1:"Heh......I've got this pretty little princess here in front of me so I wouldn't shoot if I were you
Vash just put his arm down and had his head down in defeat.He wouldn't chance it.He didn't want anymore harm to be done to her.
Guy1 terrible hissing laughter came and Arika was right in front of him.
Arika:'Damn that laugh, I wish he accidentally cut his tongue off.While he was laughing his hand swayed with the knife so it wasn't always right on her neck.'Mabe I can do something.I have to do something'she thought
Guy1:"....Okay Boys let kill Vash the Stampede and get his bounty.
The gang didn't to as they were told.
Guy1:"Hello?!"
Guy2:"Um well we have decided we don't want to participate in this anymore."
Guy1:"What....?!"
Arika:"I have to do something......."(chomp)
Guy1:"Ahhhhh!You stupid little rat!!"he said and throw her into bar counter and landed on the ground.That really pissed of Vash and it was also his chance to knock him out.He Dashed over there and before Guy 1 even notice him he got hit in the face a was now flying across the room and fell on the ground.Vash walked over to him to make sure he didn't hit him too hard.
Arika:'because he's my savior.....'she said when she finally completed the sentence that she said before this incident happened....'But I don't know if he's still the same Vash......'she thought as she layed on the floor and turned her head more to Vash.
Guy3:"Um yeah were leaving now......"
Guy2:"Yeah bye ......."
The gang walked out of the bar.
Vash turn around and he still had on his serious face.Arika didn't know what to think because this was new to her.She had never seen Vash at like this.It was kinda scary her.Vash notice this and he also notice she was shaking a bit.
Vash:'......Arika.....? .....not only does she not like me now she scared of me?I......I ......couldn't live with myself knowing she was scared of me.I mean if she just dislikes me then I could live with that....but.....if she scared of me......'He though and walked over to see if It was him that made her shake.Of course with out the serious look.
Vash:"Arika?"
Arika had put her head on her arm.
Vash:"I'm so sorry Arika I ......."Vash fell on his knees and that stir the floor abit.Arika looked over.His fist were balled up on the ground as if he was in pain.A tear fell to the ground.Arika saw it and she was not shaking anymore.
Arika:'Vash is crying?She didn't want Vash to cry.She crawled over to him.Which was a pain because her back hurt from being thrown back.Vash looked at her in question.
Vash:"Arika?"he said and felt Arika wrapping her arms around him.He was very surprised."Arika?"
Arika:"Yes?"
Vash:"You don't hate me or feel scared of me?"
Arika:"I never did hated you.....and I'm not scared anymore."She said truthfully.Vash returned the embrace.It felt like a little while to them after they let go of each other but it was actually longer than they thought.The police came and saw all the damage.
Police man 1:"Are you guys okay?"
Vash:"Yes were okay...."
Police1:"WHat happened here....."
Police2:"Its Loyde,We have been trying to catch him for ages...."
Police1:Oh looks like there is only one casualty...."
Arika:"It's still sad....."
Police1:"Yeah....."
Arika:"Can you please give him a proper barrel?"
Police1:"Yeah sure...."
Arika:"Thanks....."she said and started walking out the door.
Vash:"Arika.....wait for me...."
*************************
Melanie had an idea......It was one that would make Knives super mad at her not to mention murderously angry.She went to the hair salon were alot of ladies go to.....(.AN:hehe.)...and well she tolled them about Knives.
Melanie:"Hey do any of you ladies know what happen yesterday?"
Lady1:What?

Angel of Light:Chapter 9
Disclaimer:I don't own Trigun!
***********************
It was 5:38 in the morning which is really early to get up,but some people actually get up a that time either because they need time to get ready or they have too.Well Arika definetly did not want to get up at this time nor did she have too,but she couldn't help it she couldn't sleep.Arika looked over at Melanie who was snoring softly and was envious at the fact that she was able to sleep and not her,but she shut off thoughs envious thoughs and thought that it would be terrible to want Melanie not to get sleep.....she couldn't be selfish. She got up off her bed and went to the window.She saw some kind of light on the horizon but it was mostly dark.To early to do anything theirs were still weridoes outside.She was confined to this room.
Arika:'Great,This is just great I get up early and guess what I get to just stare blankly out the window.'she said with bitterness.'I don't want to think....right now....it hurts when I think of what happened yesterday.I could feel myself moving yesterday I went down stares.....I ......I don't remember what happened next.'She thought worriedly.
******************
Damian was listening to her thoughs.
Legato:"Are you going to be sending anyone else to get her to exercise her energy."
Damian:"........"
Legato:"Hello.....?"
Damian:"I heared you .....I'm thinking"
Legato:"Well?"
Damian:"I don't think so........."
Legato:"Why not.....?Right now is perfect."
Damian turned his head torward Legato.
Damian:"Because I said so."He said and was about to say more but decided against it.
Legato:".............."Legato left.
Damian:'Sleep Arika........'He said.
*********************
Arika suddenly felt tired.
Arika:"(yawn)'I......I think I can sleep now........'she tested out her theory by returning to her bed and pulled the covers over her and soon was in a peaceful slumber.
The sun came up from the horizon and started it journey up the sky.It was around 7:24 when Arika woke up once again but this time refreshed for a new day.
Arika:"Ah....much better!she said happily.
Melanie:"(yawn)Well good for you I had terrible sleep."
Arika:"What but I saw...um....nevermind."
Melanie:"What?"she said getting up?"
Arika:"Nothing"
Melanie:(sly grin)....Why did you come tumbling into the room last night?"
Arika:"What do think?"
Melanie:"Did Vash try...."
Arika:"No!"~'Shut up you sick minded little girl!'
Melanie:"I am not a little ......Ack....."
Arika had thrown a pillow at Melanie...
Melanie:"grr........"
Arika grabed the clothes she was going to ware and ran to the bathroom and locked the door.
Arika:"HA HA!"
Melanie:"I am not a little girl and I'm not sick minded VASH IS!!!!!!
Some guy was walking outside the room and heard all the yelling and well he just walked by the room quickly.......
********************
Vash ,Wolfwood and Knives sleep in their seprate beds peacefully.....untill Knives and Wolfwood heard the noise in the other room.
Wolfwood:"Ack...."He said and fell out of his bed.
Knives:"What the ****!? SHUT UP OVER THERE!"he said and hit the wall which made a hole.
Melanie ran to see that Knives had punch a hole in the wall.
Melanie:"Oh....your in big......trouble knives!"She said with emphasis on big.
Knives:"Shut up!"
Melanie:"No!"
Wolfwood:"Um yeah why were you yelling?"he said.
Melanie:"Um Well it was nothing...."
Wolfwood:"......Okay......."he said thinking yeah right.....but didn't care to much about it.
Vash was still asleep and well you kinda wonder how he could still be sleeping.Knives decided it was his job to wake up his dearist brother.
Knives:"Oh Vash......GET UP!!!"He said and throw Vash like a rag doll to the ground.
Vash:"OWIE! Knives why did you do that!"he said and wiped the sleep out of his eyes.
Knives:"Time to get up bro."
Vash:"That was a rough wake up call."he said with googly eyes.
Knives:"Only for you dearest brother......"he said with a smirk.
Vash:"Hey why is there a hole in the wall?"
Wolfwood:"Knives decided that there should be one.......doesn't it look lovely."he said sarcastically.
Vash:"Oooo isn't that Arika's room "He said and ran to the hole in the wall but saw no Arika."Oh...wheres Arika?"
Melanie:"She left....."
Vash:"Oh really?I've got to talk to her.he said and ran out the door.He fell asleep in his clothes because Knives knocked him out last night.
He saw Arika walking towards the food court and ran faster.
*********************
Arika was hungry and well if you would go into her mind right now you'd see that there the word food in large print with lots of different foods she would like to eat.Which is good and all but some people love food to much and well that's why there are Obese people.Like the one that walked down the hallway toward Vash........
Vash:'Wow that's one big women....not in the right places though......'
O.lady:"Excuse me mister...."she said and tried to squeeze through..
Vash:'Eeekkkk Scary.....'he thought as she kinda squished Vash while passing even though the hall was a pretty good size. 'Help....' he thought but finally she squeeze through.
O.lady:"Sorry hun...."
Vash:"Um....oh....um...no...problem.....heh heh,......"he said a little jidery and ran off to find Arika.
Vash:"ARIKA!"
Arika turned around.
Arika:'Vash'
Vash stoped and hugged her.
Arika:"ACK,Let go!"
Vash:"But don't you luv me....?"he said with his flirting eyes.
Arika:" Nope."she said
Vash:"You don't....?"he said with googly eyes."But you used my name yesterday!Does that mean that you at least respect me now?"
Arika:'Oh yeah.....'~"No....I was unconscious and tired.
Vash:"You didn't seem tired or unconscious to me......."
Arika:"How would you know what I feel?
Vash:(shrug)
Arika:"Exsakly!"
Vash:"Anyway I wanted to ask you something......"
Arika:"What?"she said.
Vash:"Um....would you like to eat breakfest with me?"
Arika:We are going to the food court right now...."
Vash:"No I mean....like ....at a restaurant ."
Arika:"Oh.....um....why?"
Vash:"I don't know because I want to and I'm Hungry......"
Arika:"Ne......okay......come on I'm hungrey too"She said and started walking.
Vash:"Great!"
Arika:'I have a bad feeling about this....'She thought."Which restaurant do you want to go to,or did you not think of that yet.
Vash:"I haven't the faintes idea what restaurant they have here.
Arika:"Well expected that from you......:"
Vash::"What is that suppost to mean?"He said looking at Arika with sad eyes.
Arika:"N...nothing just that you never have things planed out."
Vash:"Oh...."
Arika:"Anyways let go and look around.
Vash:"Okay!"he said happy again.
They search for awhile and finally found a decent resterant.They deceded to get in there order and dig in!.....They looked there menues and looked at the large selection of food.
Arika:"Hey Vash have you made up your mind up yet about what your going to order?
Vash:"Nope."
Arika:"I have......"She said and folded her menu and put on the table.
Vash:(smiles)What are you going to have?
Arika:"Hm I'm going to get ."she said but didn't finish because Vash was staring at her and she didn't like it........."Stop looking at me like that!"
Vash:"But I can't help it that I'm looking at you were sitting across from each other."
Arika:"So .........."
Vash just stared.
Arika started getting uncomfortable.she shifted under his stare.In order to escape his stare she took her menu to sheild his smile.She kept looking every once in a while to see if he was still staring and of course he was.
Arika:"Stop staring!"she hissed.
Vash just grinned.
Arika:'I'd like to strangle that stupid grinning face of his....(peek from her menu )Damn why is he doing this does he want to get his face punched in?'
Vash: 'Hehehe....this is funny.She looks so cute when she embarrassed or mad.'
Finally a waitress came to take there orders,but she took Arika's menu with her.Arika's only salvation from Vashes' annoying hansome/stupid face.
Arika:'DAMN IT ALL!I'm about to lunge at Vash and rip him a part.'She said and put her head down and closed her eyes.'I would do so if we weren't in this stupid resterant!Oh well it will be worth it.Once we finally get to eat.
Arika had ordered pancakes with strawberries and whip cream.(AN:YUMMY)Vash order Steak and eggs.(AN:EQUALLY YUMMY)If she didn't get taken away by police men from beating Vash into a pulp she would be fine........heh heh.....yep......
Arika open her eyes to see Vash face upclose and personal....
Arika:"Ack" she yelled and fell of the edge of the booth.
Vash:"Are you okay?"He said oblivious of the fact that it was his fault.
Arika:"BAKA....."She said in a low angry voice and lunged at him held on to his trench coat caller and was about to punch him when the waitress came back with there orders.She let go of Vash and sat across from him.The Life Saving Food had come,not to mention Sanity Saving.They eat silently.Vash keeping his eyes to himself.He didn't want to get his face punched in.Even though Vash had a high IQ he really didn't show it all the time and well he acts like an idiot most of the time.
Vash:'I didn't mean to get Arika so angry I was trying to get her to laugh again.I've notice that she rarely laughs or smiles.Well....real smiles are hard to come by with her.I hope she will forgive me.'
They finished there food and sat there for awhile digesting there breakfast.When along came Milly and Wolfwood.Milly spot Arika and Vash first.
Milly:"Hey guys!"
Arika:"Oh hi"she said not in the mood to be happy.
Vash:"Hello!"He said trying to sound happy.
Milly:"Can we sit here with you guys?"
Arika:"Sure"She said but moved to the otherside of the booth next to Vash for Milly and Wolfwood could sit together.
Milly:"Oh you didn't have to move."
Arika:"It's okay um were going to leave soon........."
Wolfwood wisper something into Milly's ear then Milly giggled.
Milly:"Wolfie your so romantic!"(AN:LOL WOLFIE! hehe)
Arika:"Um were leaving leaving now......Heh heh...."She said and walked away from the table.She hates to sees all that lovey dovey junk.There was is two kinds of loves.first is Non corny love second is corny love oh and one more extra corny love.Milly's and Wolfwood's love was in the middle but still it just annoying......
**************
Vash:'Hey Arika left me to pay for the bill and left me with the lovebirds......that was mean......'
The waitress:"Um heres the bill."
Wolfwood:"Um can you clean this table off were going to eat here."
The waitress:"Sure thing"
Vash:"Here this should cover it...."
The waitress:"Yep you can go now..."
Vash:'That's good I thought I didn't have enough.....'
***************
Arika was waiting outside for Vash.She actually wanted to ditch him but she couldn't do that.
Vash:"Hey you made me pay all of the bill......."
Arika:"You asked me if I wanted to have breakfast with you ,your suppose to pay.If I asked I would pay......."
Vash:"I guess that is fare....."
Arika:"Of course it is.....Now um come with me to get art supplies.she said and started walking.
Vash:"Oh....okay .....Do you know if there is one......"
Arika:"Nope but we might fined one.This is a pretty big town.
Vash:"Yeah I guess......"
They walked around and looked everywhere untill they finally found one.....
Arika:"Oh....um I won't take long so...."
Vash:"No it's okay I'll come with you...."
Arika:"Okay...."She said and went into the story.She went to get pencils and got a 2B pencil ,charcal ,Ink a caligragh pen and some paint brushes.She was done now and turn to see that Vash was playing with the model made of wood of a person.He was making it dance."Okay little baka take my hand and hold on tight because I don't want to lose you in this big store.
Vash:"Hey ....That's not funny....."
Arika:"Yes it is....."
Vash:"Well at least I'm not acting like an boring mature pers..."Vash didn't finish....
Arika:"................"
Vash:"Not that your boring.....um"
Arika:"............."
Vash:'Damn,I wanted to make Arika happy,not kill me....Stupid,stupid......I should never open my mouth again.
Arika just shrugged it off and went to pay for the art supplies.
Vash:'Not saying anything at all is worst than her yelling at me.Now I don't know what she is thinking..........oh.......now she hates me and it's all my fault.......'
Arika:"Come on Baka....."she said with no trace of hatered
Vash:"Okay......"Vash said with hope.
They walk outside and they now where thinking of what to do now,but when Vash saw someone wheeling around an ice cream cart he knew what he wanted to do or in this case get.
Vash:"Arika....look ice cream....."
Arika:"But we just ate....."
Vash:"Yeah but we didn't have dessert because of Milly and Wolfwood.
Arika:"But you don't have any money....."
Vash:"Please Arika?"He said and put a scope of his puppy dog eyes and added sparkles.
Arika:"Okay my son"
Vash:"Yeeeyyyy!Hey don't call me that......"
Arika:"Hehe....but you talking like and acting like a little boy."
Vash:"But I am a Man!"he declaired and posed.
Arika thought of an idea.
Vash:"(giggle)Hey stop it.......... I'm ticklish okay!"
Arika:"Oh wow your just so manly...."
Vash:"Oh....go for my ego will you....?"
Arika:"That's where it hurts the most."
Vash:"Well actually.......um........Well that's not very nice..."
Arika:"You asked for it....."
Vash:"Okay,okay,but um can I have some money...Please?"
Arika:"No"
Vash:"Please?"He said with googly eyes.
Arika:"Beg"
Vash:"(bark) (bark)
Arika:"Wow you really want ice cream,huh?"
Vash:"(has his tongue out and breathing through his mouth.)
Arika:"Okay Vash You don't have to do that ...I didn't think you were going to....."
Vash:"Okay.....so ......"
Arika:"Here...."she said...."It's fair because you paid for the breakfast.I'm going to the bar."
Vash"Thanks....,um you drink?"
Arika:"Nope im just going to get some water and I guess I'll buy you a drink too.....so meet me there okay?"
Vash:"Okay......Were did he go...?
Arika:"Go look for him."
Vash:"Okay bye"
Arika:"Bye"
*******************
Melanie,Meryl,and Knives where alone in the hotel with can be a very bad thing.....
Melanie:"Knives why don't you go outside to see all your girlfriends......"
Knives:"..........."Knives was reading a book he had bought and was really getting into it so he didn't her Melanie.
Melanie had a sly smile on her face.....
Meryl was taking a nice long bath....and yeah she pampered herself......with many bath pleasures..............
*******************
Arika was walking towards the bar when she spoted someone......it was Steven......She didn't know why but she wanted to talk to him.She ran up to and said.
Arika:"Hey....."
Steven turned around.
Arika:"Where you that guy that was talking to us?"
Steven:"Um yes....um .....I am sorry if I cause you....."he started but didn't finish.
Arika:"No.....it's okay no apologies is neccesary...."
Steven:"Oh......well what can I help you with....?"
Arika:"Well I am alittle confused about yesterday....um.....I can't really remember.Do you?"
Steven:"No....no I'm afraid I don't......but I wonder if it's not just a coincedence that we have no or little memory of yesterday......"
Arika:"Yeah me too....."
Steven:"Well if that's all you need......"
Arika:"Yes,thank you for your time......bye"she said and walked away.
Steven:"Bye"
Arika went to the Bar and ordered water and a drink for Vash.The bar was quiet and basically empty exsept for some guys sitting in the shadows.
Arika:"*sigh*~I wonder what's going on......It's probably best I don't know but still.....(takes a sip of her water)'I hope Vash comes back soon......Wait why do I want Vash to come...?Because he and idoit.........no.....because..........'Her thoughts were interupted when some guy and his gang came up to her.
guy 1:"Hey are you here alone?"
Arika knew this couldn't be good.She saw his comrades behind her.She had to be on alert.
Arika:"No....I am waiting for someone......"she said truthfully.
Guy1:Oh.....really for who....?"
Arika:"Vash....."
Guy1:"HUh?......."he said then went in to a terrible hissing laughter."Yeah um do you mean Vash the Stampede?
Arika:"Yes...."
Guy1 went to another horrible fit of laughter......obviously drunk he was not able to keep himself up he fell to the ground with the same hissing laughter that would haunt someone for years or a laugh you hear when nobodies around and the powers out.
Guy2:"Hey are you his bitch or something......."
Guy3:Yeah he may be one evil son of a bitch but he got to have someone to keep him warm at night.....hahahaha......"
Guy4:"She should be ours to play with....."
Arika:'God....help me and make these idiots go away.....'she said trying to pray to God because she needed comfort.
Guy1:"Yeah.....maybe...."he said getting up."Hey Bartender get us some drinks......"
Bartender:"I will not serve someone that treats good young ladies wrong."He declaired.
Guy1:"Well then.....looky what we have here a gental butt head man ...."
Arika:'Gental butt head man?Does this guy have a way with words or what?!'
Bartender:"I will not serve you.....no matter what....."
Guy1:"Well ya know .....I don't like you anyways ......bye!"he said and shot him in the head.
The Bartender and the cup he was cleaning fell with him to his side and plumited to the ground.
Guy1:"Hey since he's sleeping on the job let's get our own drinks."he said and walked over the bartenders body.
Guy,2,3,4:"Yeah!"
Arika:"Was about to callapes because she couldn't stand the fact that the man died on a whim of a terrible man.It was her fault she thought and she could have stoped it.
Arika:'It's my fault I should have never have gone to the bar alone.She said and stared down at the poor dead man.....
Guy1:"Hey sweety why so gloomy....?"he said as if he didn't know."Oh don't worry that man died for a good reason...."he said in a nice voice but the things he said was not nice at all."He died for we can have booze!"he said with a loud annoying voice.
Arika:"So that's your idea of a good reason?"
Guy1:"Hell yes,baby!"
Arika:"How can you say that.....you......!"she didn't finish because he slaped her and her back hit the bar counter and knock over the glass of water which shattered into many peices.
Guy2:"Bitch!"
Guy1:"Who do you think you are......babe?"
Arika:"..............."
Guy1:"Exsakly......Nothing....!Your just our bitch....."
Everything that Arika hated was happening, said,and or done.All the thinks that they had said was playing over and over in her head......"Your just our bitch"......,"Hey are you his bitch or something","She should be ours to play with"....and more.....like calling her babe,sweety,baby......but most of all that hissing laughter that horrible laughter that came from his filthy dirty mouth.It played in her head over and over again She wanted to stop it
Guy1:"Hey um don't worry about anything sweety well take good care of you....."
Guy4:"Well take really good care of you,hehehe"
Arika reached behind her for a peace of glass.She was in her trance like state again.The laughter of this terrible man and the words never left her mind.She wanted to stop it all she wanted it to die for she didn't have to listen to that retched laugh.DIE!!!
Oh course it wouldn't make the laughter go away.It would still play in here head every once in awhile.It would make them die,and that's not right.They were annoying and nasty to the highest level.They were ruthless and uncaring and carry out they whims on a heart beat,but they still had a right to live.We must all live and makes sure that others live even if they are going to probably hurt you in the worst possible way.Life must reign through the land because with out it we all simply wouldn't be here.
Guy1 saw a sharp peice of glass coming towards him and caught it."Your a sneeky one you are.
Arika was came out of her trance like state.....'Huh what.....happened?.....Oh don't tell me I tryed to kill him....?This is terrible'
Guy1:"So you wanna play rough,huh?I'll play your game......"he said and squeezed her hand against the peice of glass.
Arika moaned in pain.That was her right hand.She didn't want to be here I guess her prayers weren't going to be answered and she was just going to be another satistic.Please someone,anyone save me and put an end to this.
Suddenly Vash came in ice cream in hand.Took lick of his ice cream and noticed something wrong.The gang members looked up at him speechless.Finally Vash saw Arika and also saw a sharp piece of glass embeded into her palm and blood oozing from it and her face it look like someone slaped her.......He droped his ice cream cone.
Guy3:"The gurly was telling the truth!She was waiting for Vash the Stampede!!!!"
Vash:'Arika!'~"What is going on here?!"
Arika:'Vash..........'she said relieved.
Guy1:"Oh um were trying to get the glass from her palm.The poor thing got in stuck in her little hand."He said smoothly and then pull out his gun and shot at Vash but of course he missed.Vash dogded thoughs bullets and dashed up to him got his gun from his and elbowed him the floor.He fell to the floor with an umph....and the rest of the gang backed away.Vash turned around and saw Arika was now and the floor.She saw his face and thought is this Vash?Vash had his eyebrows tightly together.....The Vash she knew was never really serious and acted like an idiot most of the time.Vash was different she felt like he was a stranger to her now,but then Vash sence this and tryed to smile for her.She felt alittle better knowing that the Vash she knew was still there.Vash went infront of her for no more harm to come to her.He motioned her to go behind the bar but then saw a man laying on the ground,and looked at Arika and the look that she gave him said "they did it."Vash knodded and turned to the gang.
Guy1got up and said."What are you butt heads waiting for kill him!"
The rest of the gang hesitated for a minute but then aimed and shot at Vash and some how he dogde all the bullets and went to the closes guy some how opened his gun the bullets come flying out and Vash grabed some of them the rest hit the gang.He put them in his gun.Aimed,shoot all of the guns from the all there hands.
Arika:'Wow it sounded like it was only one shot but look all the guns our out of there hand........GO VASH!'she cheered Vash on,but then turn to look at the dead bartender.'Mabe just mabe he's alive still........There has been cases when someone got shot in the head and survive right?Please still be alive 'She thought and reach over with two fingers to check his pulse. 'Nothing.......he gone.......'She crossed his arm over the other and prayed in hopes that his soul would go to heaven.She tired to lace her fingers but the glass in her had prevented her from doing so.So she put her left hand on the back of her right hand and tried to close it as much as she could.
Guy1 lunged himself at Vash but he shifted and took guy1's arm and throw him toward the entrance.
The rest of the gang were on the ground hoping that Vash the Stampede will let them live.They were able to kill a man on whim but not able to give up their lives.They were pathetic scum.The low lifes of this town and now they were getting what they deserved.But Vash even thought he really wanted to just get ride of them for hurting Arika and getting on his nerves he just couldn't do that.It would go against everything he believed in.So he didn't.
Arika:'Why is Vash just standing there?'she thought.
guy1 was starting to gain consiousness he saw Vash just standing there as his gang just watch him in fear.He notice he wasn't paying attention to Arika or him........
Arika:'I wonder what Vash thinking about....?'
With a flick of a finger and a flash his wepon a simple pocket knife.Guy1 got himself ready, jumped Arika and grabed her right hand and grabed her around the waist with knife in hand and held her in front of him.Vash snaped his head around and saw that guy 1 had a knife to Arika's throut.
Guy1:"Heh......I've got this pretty little princess here in front of me so I wouldn't shoot if I were you
Vash just put his arm down and had his head down in defeat.He wouldn't chance it.He didn't want anymore harm to be done to her.
Guy1 terrible hissing laughter came and Arika was right in front of him.
Arika:'Damn that laugh, I wish he accidentally cut his tongue off.While he was laughing his hand swayed with the knife so it wasn't always right on her neck.'Mabe I can do something.I have to do something'she thought
Guy1:"....Okay Boys let kill Vash the Stampede and get his bounty.
The gang didn't to as they were told.
Guy1:"Hello?!"
Guy2:"Um well we have decided we don't want to participate in this anymore."
Guy1:"What....?!"
Arika:"I have to do something......."(chomp)
Guy1:"Ahhhhh!You stupid little rat!!"he said and throw her into bar counter and landed on the ground.That really pissed of Vash and it was also his chance to knock him out.He Dashed over there and before Guy 1 even notice him he got hit in the face a was now flying across the room and fell on the ground.Vash walked over to him to make sure he didn't hit him too hard.
Arika:'because he's my savior.....'she said when she finally completed the sentence that she said before this incident happened....'But I don't know if he's still the same Vash......'she thought as she layed on the floor and turned her head more to Vash.
Guy3:"Um yeah were leaving now......"
Guy2:"Yeah bye ......."
The gang walked out of the bar.
Vash turn around and he still had on his serious face.Arika didn't know what to think because this was new to her.She had never seen Vash at like this.It was kinda scary her.Vash notice this and he also notice she was shaking a bit.
Vash:'......Arika.....? .....not only does she not like me now she scared of me?I......I ......couldn't live with myself knowing she was scared of me.I mean if she just dislikes me then I could live with that....but.....if she scared of me......'He though and walked over to see if It was him that made her shake.Of course with out the serious look.
Vash:"Arika?"
Arika had put her head on her arm.
Vash:"I'm so sorry Arika I ......."Vash fell on his knees and that stir the floor abit.Arika looked over.His fist were balled up on the ground as if he was in pain.A tear fell to the ground.Arika saw it and she was not shaking anymore.
Arika:'Vash is crying?She didn't want Vash to cry.She crawled over to him.Which was a pain because her back hurt from being thrown back.Vash looked at her in question.
Vash:"Arika?"he said and felt Arika wrapping her arms around him.He was very surprised."Arika?"
Arika:"Yes?"
Vash:"You don't hate me or feel scared of me?"
Arika:"I never did hated you.....and I'm not scared anymore."She said truthfully.Vash returned the embrace.It felt like a little while to them after they let go of each other but it was actually longer than they thought.The police came and saw all the damage.
Police man 1:"Are you guys okay?"
Vash:"Yes were okay...."
Police1:"WHat happened here....."
Police2:"Its Loyde,We have been trying to catch him for ages...."
Police1:Oh looks like there is only one casualty...."
Arika:"It's still sad....."
Police1:"Yeah....."
Arika:"Can you please give him a proper barrel?"
Police1:"Yeah sure...."
Arika:"Thanks....."she said and started walking out the door.
