Angel of Light:Chapter:10

Disclaimer:I do not own Trigun!

******************

Arika and Vash walk to their hotel in silents.As they walk in silence they were thinking of the events that just happened. Which is not always a good thing because you begin to think of what could have happen if this didn't happen.You know...all thoughts "what if " questions, but I guess that couldn't be helped....

******************

Knives was still in the hotel,and was comfortably on his bed and reading his book, and every once and a while he would laugh.So he either was reading comedy or he had a weird sense of humour. He was all alone in his room and.......it .........was......GREAT! Oh finally he could relax without Melanie or Vash to ruin it, or anyone else for that manner.......He was thinking of good thoughts and reading his book happily until someone knocked on the door.

Meryl: "Vash?" she said and opened the door to see Knives sitting on the bed, who now had closed his book and glaring at her."Oh ....um sorry Knives.....Um do you know where Vash and the others are?"

Knives:"How should I know?!"

Meryl:"Well I was just asking.....!!"

Knives:"Well if your too stupid to remember ....I'll remind you....I hate you and all you humans, and when I get my chance I will get ride of you petty animals and finally be happy......"He said and then said."And I don't care were you or any of my brothers poor choice of friends go.If they happened to get murdered then that would be make the burden of getting rid of you easier......."

Meryl "You're really terrible Knives.....I'm going to find Milly....."

Knives:"Good for you......."

Meryl:(glare)

Knives:"Are you done making a fool of yourself....?"He said looking at her calmly.

Meryl:"I'm leaving now......"

Knives:"Have a nice day......"He said sarcastically and waved.

Meryl walked towards the door.

Meryl:'Why didn't Vash kill Knives when he had the chance to....'

Knives:'Because he believes in a stupid emotion called love......'

Meryl:"Don't read my mind!!"She said and throw a phone book at him. Knives catches it and had a certain look on,and well Meryl just ran for the door and got out of that room and kept on running untill she was sure that Knives wouldn't come after her...

Knives:"I'm alone again..............Happy Day!"He said and went back to his book.

Knives read his book happily and uninterrupted for at least 20 minutes when he heard another a knock.

Knives:"Who is it!!!?"He said annoyed.

(knock)(knock) ......

Knives:"Just open the damn door, stupid!"

(BANG) (BANG) *Door breaks out of the hinges*

Women flooded in.

Knives:"What the hell is going on here?"

Women1:"You are going on......"

Women2:Ooo and he on the bed ready for us....."

Knives:Huh?....heh....like I ever give you the time of day......"

Women3:"Lets get him girls!!!"

ALL THE WOMEN!:"YEAH!"

The women jumped towards the bed and some how Knives climbed out of the pile of women.He saw someone just standing there.It was Melanie......!

Melanie"Hello Knives....!"

Knives:"Melanie!Your little...........!You did this......?!Your so dead......!!!"He said in a deadly voice,and some difficulty.

Melanie:"Oh you don't have to thank me....."

Knives:"Oh no Melanie you are to modest.You are the most deserving to receive my gratitude."He said walking towards her.

Melanie:"Oh um....Knives your too kind....."

Knives:"Oh well you know this just alittle token of my appreciation. Now just stand where you are or even to make things more fun run for your insignificant life......."Knives said but then looked behind him.

Women:"We need you Knives....!!"They said and hang on to his legs and waist.

Knives:"Ack,Get away......!!he yelled at the women.".....Melanie!!"Knives yelled and Melanie just ran for it. Knives ran and shook off the women that hanged on to him and the rest of the women followed.

Melanie ran for her life.Knives got his gun out and tryed to aim at Melanie but he couldn't because every once and while one of the ladies got a hold of him and he had to shake them off. The bullet ended up hitting the walls.Melanie was very stupid to try his patients and for whatever reason she did this you could only think that she had a death wish.The other people staying at the hotel were checking from there rooms when they heard the bullets....They saw Melanie speed by and then Knives who had to catch Melanie for ruining his peaceful time,and had to run away from the needy women of this town.......(AN:Poor Knives.......Oh....well.....^^)

******************

Arika and Vash were almost at the entrance of the hotel were they saw Melanie,Knives and Lots of Women came flooding out.Arika and Vash just watch as Melanie who was running away from Knives and Knives was running away from the women and well they just looked wide eyed at the sight.(AN:They look like this: O_o )Arika and Vash just looked at each other with thoughts eyes then looked at the people of the town then looked back at each other.They just shrugged it off and went inside of the hotel.They walked through the halls towards there rooms.

Arika:"I need to find something to wrap around the wound...."

Vash:"I have bandages we can use."

Arika:"Okay just give it to me when you get to your room."

Vash:"I'll help......"

Arika:"No it's okay."

Vash:"But I want too."he said and tried to put his arm around her.

Arika:"It's okay I'll manage."She said and shook it off.

Vash:"Why do you want to always do things on your own?"

Arika:"Because I like being independent....."

Vash:"But sometimes people needs someone to help them."

Arika:"It's no big deal!"

Vash:"But ......"

Arika:"Do you think that since you saved me that you get to be with me?

Vash:"But I ...."He said and didn't get to finish.

Arika:"You don't know me!You have no idea what's going on.I have alot of things to think about and I don't need you.I just want you to leave me alone.I bet you think that I would be putty in your hands after your heroic efforts?That we would get marryed and live together ever so happily?huh?...."she said and walk away.

Vash didn't know what to think.He was confused.He wanted to be with Arika Even if she didn't want to be more than friends,But He also wanted to be more than friends too,but now friendship seems like alot to ask for.

Arika didn't want to be mean to Vash but she didn't want to really talk to him right now.She had to get over the event that happened today and well right now she was not thinking right....Plus Vash,well he had a thing for women and well he doesn't think so well when he see some beautiful women walking down the street or something.She knew that well ....Vash was a good person,but anyone can make a mistakes.She knew Vash wouldn't hurt her on purpose,but that one fact could do alot of damage.She didn't want to get hurt,and act like one of thought pathetic girls that love some guy that will never be loyal to them.Did I mention Vash loved women?

Arika waited by the her door.Vash dare not look her in the eye.He went into his room got the bandages and gave them to Arika.

Arika:"Thanks....um....talk to you later?"

Vash:'I thought she was really mad at me this time.Now she was willing to talk to me?

Arika:"I'm just kinda werid out by the experience that I had today.I don't hate you i don't despise you. I just don't want to do anything stupid okay?

Vash:"Okay!"Vash said relieved.

Arika:"Later on we'll check if Knives and Melanie are okay.

Vash:"Oh well Knives will be okay...."

Arika:"Well......Knives isn't very good with women so......Um If Knives and Melanie don't come back then well check to makes sure."

Arika:"Bye for now....."

Vash:"Bye!"

They both went into there rooms and tried to relax.

Arika went to the bathroom,and carefully pulled out the piece of glass out of her palm. Turn the Faucet and cleaned off all the of the dry blood that was caked with some blood that still seeped out.She tried to wrap her wound herself,but it turned out kinda messy.As she was finishing her not so good bandage she looked at her face.She didn't care.She decided to get some sleep,and went to her bed and fell asleep with her rinky dinky bandage,but then Vash head peek thought the very lovely hole Knives made,But Arika was fast asleep so she didn't notice.

Vash:"Arika didn't do a good job wrapping her wound,and she needs ice so her cheek doesn't swell up.Vash to the rescue....I'll get ice and wait till she wakes up!Yeah then she will be in a even better mood....yeah....I'm so good....^^"He said in a whisper.

Arika, even though she was asleep accidentally hit Vash who fell backward from the hole that he had peaked at her from......

Vash got up rubbed his head sheepishly, and ran to get ice and anything else he need while Arika rest.

*********************

Melanie had somehow gotten away from Knives and was walking though the town.

Melanie:'Well I finally got away from Knives.....Hehehe....Now this little plan of mine will make him suffer.Okay maybe it's alittle mean but Knives is always being mean to me.Anyways what's wrong with him?He doesn't like any of thoughs women?Hm.....maybe he's gay......(An:"Hahahaha nope he's not thank goodness....*pats knives on the head*^^)

Knives:' Gotten away from thoughs weird women!Now to find that stupid little,rat."he said and tried to read her mind. To try to pinpoint her location.'Ah.....there you are!'He said and started to jump off of roof top to roof top to seek his "little friend."

**********************

Meryl had finally found Milly and Wolfwood.They were just walking together.Meryl and Milly as you know have known each other for along time and are best friends.Wolfwood decided to leave them alone for they can talk away about all the things that only best friends could talk about.

Wolfwood spotted Vash.He was going towards the Market and so he called his name.Vash turned around looked around with shifty eyes because wolfwood had said his name.

Wolfwood:"Heh sorry...,So were did you and Arika do all day.?"

Vash:"Oh well it's along story......"

Wolfwood:"Oh....really....."He said in a certain way.

Vash:"Hm......?"Vash looked innocent.

Wolfwood:"Okay....."

Vash:"What ......?"Vash said not knowing what he ment but then caught on."Hey I don't know what you think we did but....!"

Wolfwood:"Wo.....wo.......wait a minute!....I didn't mean anything,but.....it's um....well you kinda um.......don't esackly seem like the type to have a long term relationship?He said carefully.

Vash just looked at him.....

Wolfwood"Um....heh heh.....eh......?"

Vash:"I can have a long term relationship.........!"

Wolfwood:"I believe you....,but just make sure you don't do anything stupid.Arika is.....well she not the kind to full around...."

Vash:"I know that.....I don't want it to be like that,I want to be in along term relationship with her!And before I just couldn't find someone that will agree to marry me,or if they would marry me......They would have to arrest me if they knew if I was Vash the Stampede......!!!

Everyone looked at Vash,Vash looked at the everyone.Then everyone just ran away.

Vash:"Opps...."

Wolfwood:"Let just go and get what ever you were going to get!"

Vash:"It's not my fault."

Wolfwood:"You know Baka is a good nick name for you. No wonder Arika calls you that, Baka....."

Vash:"Shut up don't call me that!Only Arika can....."

Wolfwood:"Vash you are a baka!"

Vash:(glare then pout)

Wolfwood:"So what are you going to get?"

Vash:"Some ice,bandges and stuff like that....."

Wolfwood:"Who are thoughs for......?Is it for Arika?

Vash:"Yes....."

Wolfwood:"What did you do!"

Vash:"I didn't do anything!"

Wolfwood:"Well tell me what happen....."

Vash:"Fine...."he said and tolled him everything as he was getting the supplies he needed.

Wolfwood:"Wow....that sucks good thing you were there...."

Vash:"Yeah...,but what if I wasn't there on time."

Wolfwood:"Well don't think that....You were there on time that should be the only thing that matters .....You know your really to serious about these kind of things.What happened happened.So relax and enjoy the fact that you will see the suns rise once again.

Vash:"I guess so."

Wolfwood:"So ....you really care for Arika?"

Vash:"I do...."

Wolfwood:"Yeah women are good aren't they?He said smiling.

Vash:"Yeah...."

Wolfwood:"I will help bring you guys together.....then you'll be as in love as me and Milly are.

Vash:"Your not that good at being romantic......"

Wolfwood:"Yes I am,and I will help you with your dilemma.

Vash:"You will?"

Wolfwood:"Yeah and all of it for nothing except the fact that you have to make a confession in this miniature confession stand...Heh just put alit money in that's all.

Vash:"You know your really are good at what you do."

Wolfwood:"Yeah well I'm broke and well I need money after that breakfast and all....."

Vash:"Yeah me too...."

Wolfwood:"Huh?Well how are going to pay for that stuff."

Vash:"I borrowed some money from Meryl."

Wolfwood:"Hm.....?"

Vash:"Well actually I took some money from her purse...."He said with a silly smile.

Wolfwood:"That isn't right."

Vash:"Well she shouldn't leave her purse where it could be easily stolen from,And anyways I need this money right now."

Wolfwood:"I guess you do,huh."

Vash:"Don't tell Meryl,okay?"

Wolfwood:"I'm not promising anything but I will do my best."

Vash:"Okay...."he said and paid for the stuff he had gotten.

Wolfwood and Vash walked out of the store and headed for the hotel.

Wolfwood:"So Arika's okay right now right...no really big injuries?

Vash:"Nope,thank goodness she okay. She sleeping right now."

Wolfwood:"Oh...well we shouldn't wake her up....."

Vash:"But then here wound will probably get infected...."

Wolfwood:"I guess we have too....then....."

They walked into Arika's room,and saw that she was still asleep.They tired to be quiet but Arika stirred alittle bit.

Wolfwood:"She is probably going to kill us if we wake her up.Milly um..well she get really crabby even if it's my fault that she gets up early.I mean she sweet when she see you guys but if you see her in the morning it's ...um...ugly.

Vash:"Be a man Wolfwood.We must do this even if are lives are in the balance of being slashed in half.....For Love!"

Wolfwood:"And Peace!"

They said and headed towards Arika's bed side.

Arika:'I'm feel much better now...but why do I have a feeling i'm being watched.....'She thought with her eyes closed.She opened her eyes alittle and saw Vash and Wolfwood staring at her.And she jumped and reflexively kicked Vash in a certain place. Vash just fell to the ground in pain.

Vash:"Why.....did..you ....have....to ..do ...that....?"He wheezed out with difficultly.

Arika:"Opps....oh well you deserved it.What are you doing in my room?!"

Wolfwood:" we were going to help you...."

Arika:"Oh well...."

Wolfwood:"Well I don't see why you needed help in that bar incident.The way you act"

Arika:"You told Wolfwood?!"

Vash:"Um....heh yeah....heh heh......."

Arika:(glare)

Vash:"DON'T KICK ME AGAIN!Then I won't be able to stand or sit right for along time!

Arika:"Your going to be next.....if you don't....."she said to Wolfwood but didn't finish.

Wolfwood:"Eh....I'm going to leave now...Good luck Vash...."He said and ran out the door.

Vash:"Wait don't leave me.....!"He said and while trying to recover.

Arika:"You know you really are an idiot....you know that right....?"

Vash:"Um....am I your idiot....?"

Arika:"Nope your and idiot made for public use...."

Vash:"Oh....,anyways I need to help you with that bandage."

Arika:"Yeah....I suck at this...."

Vash:"You know your art stuff you bought today you left them at that bar.:"

Arika:"I know.....But it's okay..I still got some pencils left...."

Vash:"Oh....um..lets go to the bathroom for we can wash your cut...and stuff."

Arika:"Okay.."she said and got up and helped Vash up and headed to the bathroom.

Vash took off the old and badly wrapped bandages,and wash off the blood that had dried since Arika cleaned it herself.He wrapped the bandages around her hand nice and neat. He got an icepack and put it on her cheek for Arika to hold it there.

Arika:"Thanks....."

Vash:"Your welcome....!"He said happily.

Arika walked out of the bathroom and sat in a chair.

Vash:"What about Melanie and Knives?"

Arika:"They will be fine....."

Vash:"Okay....,Um...Arika?"

Arika:"Yes?"

Vash:"So are you 620 years old?"

Arika:"Yes"

Vash:"Wow....that must be werid....and I though I was old...."

Arika:"Heh....I guess sometimes it's....Because I have so many memories...."

Vash:"So how many years have you been human?"

Arika:"Just 20...."

Vash:"Oh...."

Arika:"I don't have all of my memories from when I was a light angel,But anyways the fact is I am made out of pure light molecules that are tightly woven to make my human form.I don't know how to undo it but supposedly once I can do that so the light energy will flow visibly is when I am able to have more of my original power ,But something tell me that I'm not going to beable to have all of my true power even after that....."

Vash:"Wow.....So what are your powers exactly?"

Arika:"I don't know ....,really......I haven't really been able to control it....I comes out in out burst of energies,but once I am able to control it I will finally be ready for anything....Power wise....anyways."

Vash:"When you do remember everything you'll tell me right....?"

Arika:"Why would you want to hear about my boring life...?"

Vash:"I wouldn't think your life is boring...."

Arika:(shrug)"I think I'm going to draw now...."she said and went to get her pad and pencils and anything else she needed.

Vash:"Can I watch...?"

Arika:"No I would prefer that you not...I get nervous when people watch."

Vash:"Okay....I guess I'll see what Wolfwood is doing..."

Arika:"Okay..."She said and saw Vash leave.

**********************

Melanie:"Ah, this is the life looking at the stars with nice weather.Not a cloud in the sky and it's not cold either.Yep ......."She said and had a big smile on her face.Well untill she say Knives face right in front of her.

Knives:"Boo!!"

Melanie:"Ahhhhhhh!!"

Knives:"Hello my little rat....are you ready to be my next victim that I personally have to kill?

Melanie:"Nope...."

Knives:"But it's a great honor to be killed by me...."

Melanie:"Your really full of......"She said and didn't finish.

Knives:"Stupid!"He said and throw her to the ground on the other side of the roof and was going to get kick the shit out of her when she said."Wait!"

Knives:"How dare you tell me to wait....."

Melanie:"I have a plan!I can get you out of town tomorrow without thoughs women chasing you."

Knives:"I can just shoot them all!"

Melanie:"You know you don't have enough bullets.....to kill everyone..."

Knives:"I have other things that i can use....Like my Angel Arm.."

Melanie:"Yeah,but what if I told Arika?"

Knives:"So I'm not afraid of her.Anyways I could kill you right now."

Melanie:"I could be talking to her right now....,you know?"

Knives:"So..."

Melanie:"You are scared of Arika's powers aren't you....?"

Knives:"I am not!"

Melanie:"But that's not what you thought on that day Arika power surged was saw and felt all over the town."

Knives::"You read my mind?!"

Melanie:"You do it all the time....."

Knives:"Fine you piece of trash!Be that way but your plan better work."

Melanie:"It will,Knives-sama!I like you Knives.Your fun!"

Knives:"Grr...shut up."

Melanie:"Come on lets get going...."

Knives:"But what about all thoughs crazy women?"

Melanie:"Oh well there not around this area,so come on I'm starved.she said and jumped off the roof and so did Knives and they walked towards there hotel.

They went to Vash,Wolfie,and Knives room because that were they heard alot of noise.

Vash,Wolfie,Milly,and Meryl were in the room taking,playing cards and drinking(exsept Meryl*Drinking*)

Vash:"Hello Knives!"

Knives just grunted and headed towards the bathroom,but Vash got infront of him and said.

Vash:"What's wrong bro.?"

Knives respond by shooting at him,but missed.

Vash:"Oh...well I was trying (Bang*Knives is shooting*)(dodge)to make(bang)(dodge)you feel (bang)(dodge)better......"

Knives throw his gun to the floor and went into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.

Wolfwood: What was his problem?"

Vash:(Shrug)

Arika came in and said."What is going on here?"

Vash:"Um....nothing....."

Arika:"The wall....is full of bullet holes....is that normal to you....?"

Vash:"Yes..."

Arika:"You know we have to pay extra for are rooms because of the damage you guys caused, right?

Meryl:"Yeah well if you follow Vash for along time this is to be expected."

Milly:"(gasp)You are bruised!,and your hand is all bandaged.

Meryl:"Yeah your right!What happen?Vash did you do that to Arika."

Vash:"Why does everyone think I did it?"

Arika:"Vash didn't do it....."

Meryl:"Oh..."

Milly:"Vash-san would never do that!"

Meryl:"I know.....not on purpose anyways...."

Vash:"Why don't you draw in here?"

Milly:"Yeah come and join the group!"she said and then continued to eat her pudding.

Arika:"I guess I will...."She said.

There was music and cards ,food and laughter of her friends in the air surrounding her.So why not join her comrades and enjoy it with them.The song change and it was actually quite fast.

Vash:"Hey Arika dance with me?!"He asked but didn't wait for an anwser.

Arika:"But I don't know how to dance."

Vash:"Just follow my lead...."

Arika:"But....."She said but then was twirled around and was held about Vashes' head one second then was thrown into the air and then caught and well it was kind of a funny sight.Some leader Vash was at dancing.Arika didn't know what was up and down anymore,But when her pad fell out of her hands and was opened to a page she had drawn on she some how jumped out of Vash's arms and covered the pad with her arms looked around to make sure nobody saw it.Then put it so that the cover of the pad was showing.

Vash:"What was that about, Arika?"

Arika:"Um nothing...."

Vash:"We can't see your drawings?Is it because your not done?"

Arika:"No I got alot done and I've been able to draw several drawings,but...."

Vash:"But...."

Arika:"But I don't really want to show them...."

Vash:"Okay.....that's fine...."

Milly:"Me and Meryl are going to take a walk."

Melanie:"Can I come?"

Arika:"No Melanie...."

Melanie:"Why not?"

Arika:"Because it's late."

Melanie:"Aw well I'll be okay.

Arika:"But....."

Melanie:"I can take care of myself and Meryl and Milly will be with me too......"

Arika:"Go....then.."

Melanie:"I'll be okay Arika..."she said knowing Arika was worried.

Arika:"I know,but come back soon okay....?"

Melanie:"Yeah I know...."

Milly:"Don't worry Arika-chan we will be back really soon don't worry."She said in a cheerfull voice.

Arika watched as they walked out of their room and had a really bad feeling.She didn't know exsakly what it was but she didn't like it.
