Angel of Light:Chapter 12
Disclaimer:I don't own Trigun
*******************
They kept walking and they stoped because they heard the foot steps again.There was no one outside besides them.They turned around and saw nothing again and did that 2 more times.
The second time they saw someone standing behind them.He had dark brown hair,and was average height,eye color couldn't be identified since it was dark.He had handcuffs on and the chains that was attached were dragging on the ground
********************
Meryl: "Why are you following us?" She said trying to sound brave. She saw the handcuffs that hung on his wrist. So he must have escaped from prison. This would mean he was a bad person that could try to hurt or kill her and her friends.
"Oh sorry.....Babe but I just thought you girls looked kinda lost."
Meryl: "Oh.....um....were not ....lost....." she said nervously and started to take a step back and looked back at Milly and Melanie.
Melanie: 'Babe?' She thought. She had been going through Arika's memories. She hadn't been able to see a lot, since the memories were being suppressed. She saw what happened at the bar, or most of it. She heard one of the guys calling Arika "babe". She snapped out of her thoughts and said. "You're the one......of the guys that was at the bar incident!"
Loyde: "Heh....What do you know I am famous......What was her name......Arika? Yeah she was a piece of work. If only that idiot, Vash the Stampede hadn't come into the picture it would have been another good time in my book.
Melanie: "Grr......how dare you say that!"
Loyde: "Heh......Your friends with her, huh?" he said ignoring Melanie.
Melanie: "Wait till I throw you back to jail. How did you get out of jail anyways....?" Melanie asked.
Loyde: "I had some help."
Melanie: "What? From your lackeys?"
Loyde: "No they abandoned me. When I have my fun with you guys I'll find their sorry asses and kill em on the spot."
Melanie: "Good for you now if only you would get rid of all the bad guys on Gunsmoke. Oh, wait, then you would have to kill yourself." She said and walked towards him.
Milly: "Melanie! Don't cause the scary man to get mad......because because then he might hurt you.....and well I don't want that to happen to you........." she said worriedly.
Melanie: "But......we need to do something......"
Loyde: "So you know Vash the Stampede?"
Melanie: "Yeah!"
Loyde: "How about if the authority found out about your association with him? Hm?"
Meryl: "If you tell the police about Vash then you will go back to jail!"
Loyde: "Well that is not a problem, I will get out eventually. Then you and Vash will all go to jail and being the sissy you are you will probably not escape."
Milly: "Why would we go to jail and why would you be willing to risk your freedom?"
Loyde: "Well......You are always with him and well most people would think you are like his assistants in crime or something. Either way your friend Vash is going to jail."
Melanie: (whispers)"Meryl do you have your derringers?"
Meryl: "Yeah...." she whispered
Melanie: "And Milly do you have your stun gun?"
Milly: "Yep!......I mean yep....."
Melanie: "Then we can kick his butt......"
Milly: "I don't know....I'm kinda scared but....he tried to hurt Arika-chan and Vash-san so......I think it's a good idea for this situation...."
Meryl: (sigh) We don't have much of a choice."
Loyde: "What are you 3 whispering about?"
Melanie: "Ready?" She whispered to Meryl and Milly.
Milly and Meryl nodded.
Melanie: "Okay, I'll distract him" she said as she walked towards Loyde; Milly and Meryl got ready for the fight.
Loyde: "Oh so you're going to fight?"
Melanie: "Yep!" She said and ran towards him and jumped up into the air and when she was over his head, kicked the back of it. Loyde ended up trying to balance himself so he didn't fall on his face. Loyde turned to see Melanie, when Milly shot from her stun gun. He turned to the big hunk of metal coming towards him. It ended up missing.
Milly: "Huh? Hey what happened you couldn't have not gotten hit......?!" she said in disbelief.
Loyde: "Believe it" He said and got his gun out. Meryl reacted to this by shooting it out of his hand, and hit his hand somewhat. "Well looks like.....I'll have to kill you with my own hands." he said and quickly turned around and grabbed Melanie. Melanie cried out in pain when she was thrown into the ground in front of him. Loyde pulled out a knife from his pocket.
Meryl: "Stop! If you don't step away from Melanie I will shoot you!"
Loyde didn't listen to Meryl and kicked Melanie hard. Melanie yelled out in pain.
****************
Arika who was tired of walking sat on the ground to sort through everything that happened today. She was tired of always not knowing all of her past. She still was trying to remember all of it. She knew a lot of it was really depressing, and even somewhat disturbing,yet it had it's good times.Where she originated from was not heaven, it was a place between heaven and somewhere else....But definitely not heaven.
Arika: 'Maybe Damian and I shouldn't have been born, and if I was, then why are Damian and I here? What's our purpose? Am I supposed to save everyone from him? Be a hero? Damian isn'tbad. He was always there for me when I was younger and I know he still has lots of good in him. Am I here to suffer, because that's what it seems like. When I was a light/Dark angel back then the people who knew who I was treated me like I was a disease. Well they kinda had a point of doing so.We could have killed them all, but I had made it through safely with out killing someone or myself with the help of my friends and Artimis,but something bad always happens when I finally find some kind of happiness' She thought. She was knocked from her thoughts when she heard someone yelling. She realized it was Melanie.
****************
Wolfwood: "(sigh)I have been looking for Arika forever. I wonder why she was in pain......" he said. Then he also heard someone screaming, and decided to try to find who that yell belonged to.
Arika ran toward the voices that she heard nearby. She took a short cut through an alley.
****************
Milly: "LEAVE MELANIE ALONE! OR I WILL .......um...."
Loyde: "Or you will what" He said and laughed. Loyde had Melanie in a choke hold.
Meryl: "Stop it now. You could escape into the night right now and be free!"
Loyde: "But I love to see a good blood bath or a frightened face before I go, is that too much to ask?"
*****************
Arika saw Melanie in a choke hold by some guy. Milly tried to defend Melanie by trying to threaten him but it didn't work out. She was about to save Melanie when she heard the guy talk and laugh. She froze on that step forward. Arika was still trying to get over what happened today. She just couldn't get over the terrible memory that was now embedded into her mind, but she couldn't break down and do nothing. She had to save her friends from the fate that could have been hers. She got ready to charge.
Arika:'The Element of Surprise was on my side. Just pretend he's Vash when you're really mad at him for doing something stupid and you hit him, except harder and stuff. Hm well Imagining he is Vash is hard to do, Vash has aqua eyes, he has brown eyes.....Vash has blond hair, he has brown hair, hm.....and Vash is tall and handsome and has a nice bod......I think........waaaaahh! Shut up! Your friends need you and you're dreaming about Vash! Yeah, anyways here I go!' She thought and sprinted off toward him.
*****************
Loyde: "Well I think you should die now, nice talking to someone who knows Vash the Stampede, but I think you lived a long life....."
Melanie: 'He doesn't know how right he is, I am 216 and ½ years old, but up there it's not that old at all. Waaaaaaaaahh! I don't wanna die ......Knives I hope your happy!'
*****************
Knives is seen sleeping in his bed with a weird smile on his face. He mumbled something and rolled around while his sheets tangle around with him. He ended up falling on the floor.
******************
Arika: "HELLO!" She said as she jumped up to execute a kick. Loyde turned to see what was going on and decided it was best if he moved from the spot he was in, but it was a little to late for that. Loyde grunted in pain as her kick made a connection to his chest. He managed to stay on his feet. He grabbed Arika's arm and threw her in back of him. She also managed to land on her feet as she slid back on the sandy ground, but had to put her hands on the ground to keep her from falling on her face. He turned around to see who would dare kick him while he was trying to kill someone.
Loyde: "Well......hello....Arika."
Arika: "How did you get out of jail?"
Loyde: "That seems to be the question of the day, huh?" He said and saw that Melanie was a safe distance from him next to Milly and Meryl.
Melanie: "Kick his butt Arika!"
Arika: "You know I will." She said trying to be brave. She really didn't like this guy, not just because he was a jerk but he really scared her. It was just something in his eyes and she didn't wanna find out what it was.
Loyde: "Well guess I might get my wish today." he said and got something that looked like a tube with some kind of powder in it.
Today happened to be windy and the wind was going towards Milly and the others. He opened the tube up and threw the contents at them. The wind caused the powder the to head towards Milly and the others. Arika managedto run to and climb up a ladder that was hinged on to a building, while the others got a whiff of the powder. Their coughs were heard and then their bodies went limp. It turns out it was a sleeping powder. Anyone that had sniffed up any of it would be a sleep for less then a day.
Loyde: "(unique laugh that Arika hates)That didn't go exactly how I wanted it but oh well."
Arika was beginning to feel weird again. She covered her ears because she didn't wanna here that stupid laugh.
Loyde: "Arika.......come down, I know you're up there; unless you want me to come up there myself."
Arika didn't know what to do. Her friends are down there unconscious, maybe even dead. That bastard hurt her friends, but she didn't think she had the strength to hurt him. The truth is she did, but she couldn't do it alone. Not physically, but mentally knowing her friends were there with her to help her concentrate on kicking what ever ass dared to hurt her friends. And the fact that she didn't really care about herself, and being on the verge of unconsciousness, she didn't really know what she should do.
Loyde: "Arika I would come down if I were you....."
Arika: (whispers to herself)"What should I do?" She said and held on to her head. She didn't wanna lose control. She didn't wanna know what she would do when she wasn't in control. She almost killed someone. Well he deserved to be killed, but still, what if she starts to kill innocent people? Then she would be no better than any of the people that had wronged her in the past.
Loyde: "Well then I guess your friends will have to suffer. You know they're not dead, they're just asleep, for now."
Arika: 'Oh they're just asleep, I am so glad. Um.....wait he said for now. I got to get up!' she did as she said and Said. "Hey!"
Loyde turned around and said "Aw.....so what are you going to do? Corporate or fight?"
Arika: "Fight what else?"
Loyde: "Okay......."
Arika got on the edge of the roof and jumped towards Loyde and basically fell on him. Then she kinda decided that wasn't the best thing to do. She was going to Frankenstein him but it was because right when she jumped she felt a sudden pain.
Arika: "Damn it! Nothing is going right!"
Loyde: "That's not the same for me!" he said and tried to get on top of her.
Arika: "Ack! No!! Get away!!" She yelled and tried to kick him off and succeeded but then he tried again. This time she punched him in the face. By that time Loyde had just about lost his patience with her and just with a single punch knocked her to the ground.
Loyde: "Stupid! You could have just lie down and let me have my way with you, but no of course not! You have to try to be a strong woman and try to overpower me. Well guess what I am going to bang you up and then bring you along with me to the desert for those long cold nights." He said happily and laughed at the thought of her trying to defend herself against him.
Arika was really getting pissed off listening to him. Yet she couldn't do anything under the circumstances. He had a good right hook.
Loyde: "Your Vash the Stampede isn't here to save you now and even if he was he wouldn't be able to defeat me. Last time he got lucky." he said and laughed again.
Arika: "Shut the fucking hell up!" she said even though she was still down on the ground. The rage that she had suddenly grown inside her heart caused that outburst.
Loyde looked down surprised which turned into anger.
Loyde: "Don't you say that to me!"
Arika got kicked up into the air and landed hard to the ground.
*******************
Wolfwood: "Dammit I can't find anyone and I have been looking for a while. I swear it didn't sound to far away. Maybe I took a wrong turn." He said and continued to search for Arika and the gang.
*******************
Arika had lost the rage that had flowed through her awhile ago and now regretted speaking up to Loyde. She wasn't doing so good he had kicked her another time.
Loyde: "Maybe I should go mess up your friends instead."
Arika: "No! Wait....."
Loyde: "Hm......? You'll do what I want?"
Arika: 'I can't let him touch them. There not even conscious. But........How am I going to get.......' She didn't finish her thought. She fainted because Loyde had kicked her once in the stomach which probably caused internal bleeding.
Loyde: "Heh, She fainted." he said and walked up to her, and as he was walking toward her Arika had some how lifted herself off the ground; except she was in her trance like-state. She stood up all the way up and stared down at the terrible fiend in front of her. Energy surged around her causing her to glow. "What the......" he said and started to step back and then decided to run, but she somehow appeared in front of him with out any teleportation involved. Now Loyde was really freaking out.
*******************
Wolfwood: "Wow what's that light over there? Better check it out." he said and as he ran towards it he thought. 'I hope Milly and the others are okay.'
*******************
Arika was standing right in front of Loyde and she reached out and put her hand out in front of his chest. She somehow gathered some of the energy around her and into her palm and made a circular ball of energy. She then launched it at Loyde. It pushed him away from her.and engulfed him. It looked like there was static electricity all around the ball and inside. The energy ball then subsided and freed the man, who now looked really beat up. Since she was finally out of danger she now fell limp to the ground.
***********************
Knives eyes popped open. He looked around franticly." What was that?" he said. One minute there was a mass amount of energy and then nothing. He knew what it was now.He looked down and notice that he was tangled up in his sheets.
*******************
(somewhere?)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Damian: "Hm?" he said to himself. He was eating dinner and had not been monitoring Arika or anything really. "It's Arika" He said and got up and teleported to were Arika was.
*******************
Damian saw some of Arika's friends lying unconscious on the ground.He saw who did this to them and then saw Arika. He walked towards her. He carefully lifted her upper body up so that her head could rest on his chest. "Your not suppose to use your energy so much that you exhaust yourself. Oh yeah, you can't control your powers yet." He said to her. "Guess I gotta heal you." he said and did what he said
*******************
Wolfwood: "Hey! Milly! Melanie? Meryl? Arika?! Where are you?" He said and suddenly got hit with a shoe. "Ouch! Who hit me? Come on speak up or I'll!"
An Old Lady: "Or you will what?" She said standing at the window with her hands balled up on her sides.
Wolfwood: "Um......nothing" he said sheepishly.
An Old lady: "Keep it quiet or else I'll send my son after you."
Wolfwood: "Um okay.....sorry...."
An Old Lady: "You better be!"
Wolfwood:"*fake laugh*Bye (waves) he said and ran through the alley. "What an old hag"
An Old Lady: "I heard you! Morres! Get my gun ready for tomorrow, I'm a shooting me a priest!"
Wolfwood: 'I'm so glade were leaving tomorrow.'
********************
Damian heard someone coming. He heard that someone calling for Arika and the others.
Damian: "Oh uh....shit......" He said and got his sunglasses out and put them on. 'Oh.....this is gonna look weird; Sunglasses when it's dark and at the scene of the crime.'
Wolfwood: "Hey......it's you, from the bar...."
Damian: "Ah.....yeah....Hi."he said trying to smile.
Wolfwood: "Why are you here?"
Damian: "(has hands behind back)I was at the .......um...General Store and I past by here and saw your friends here unconscious."
Wolfwood: "Oh yeah? Where are your groceries?"
Damian: "Um.....here" He said and brought out a bag from behind his back.
Wolfwood: "Okay." He said and saw Milly and the others and ran to them. "Are they okay?"
Damian: "Yeah I already checked."
Arika suddenly woke up.
Arika:"Hm.......Were am I?"she said to herself.
Damian:"HUh?"
Arika:"Who are you?"
Wolfwood:"Hey your awake."
Arika:"Wolfwood is he one of you friends?"
Wolfwood:"Um.....more of an aquantiant.Um but don't worry he was here before me and he was just checking if you guy are alright.He said but then looked over and saw some man on the ground.He looked really beat up."Hey who that?"
Damian:"I guess that the guy who try to hurt your friends.
Wolfwood:"Oh really."He said.'How dare this idiot try to hurt my Milly and her friends.'he though and walked over."Hey!wake up."
Loyde woke up.Looking really tired and worn out,but he got up and looked around.He saw Arika and then he started to panic.
Loyde:"m..m....m..."he stuttered to say something.He pointed towards Arika.
Wolfwood:"Huh?"He said and looked to where he was pointing.
Loyde:"monsuta- !monsuta- !You are not human and .....what ever you are I don't care what you are.All I know is that you are a monsuta- !!"He said and shakely got up and ran away.(A/N:Monsuta means monster)
Wolfwood:"HEY! GET BACK HERE!YOu lunitic!"
Arika's pupil narrowed.Now remembered everything from tonight.She had forgot for awhile.Oh that was bliss but now she remembered.It is terrible.
She clinged on to Steven unintentionally.She then notice what she was doing and let go.
Arika:"Im sorry I didn't mean too."
Damian:"It's okay.I guess you've been through alot.Don't worry about that guy.He just some idiot.They all come out at night time like coachroaches."
Arika:"Yeah I guess."she said and got up so did Damian.She still was very upset about everything,but for now she would not think about it.
Wolfwood:"How am I going to carry everyone.....?"
Suddenly Melanie Woke up.
Melanie: "Nani?"
Wolfwood: "Hey your awake.......um.....make yourself useful...." he didn't finish because Melanie ran off to Arika and the man next to her."Hey Listen to me!"
Melanie: "(said really fast)Hey...? Who are you?Did you save us?Oh hi Arika are you okay?Are you....(muffled sounds) Wolfwood had put his hand over Melanie's mouth.
Wolfwood: "Shut up and stop acting like a kid."
Melanie: "(pulls Hand off mouth)I was just asking some questions!"
Wolfwood: "Just be quiet....."
Melanie: "You be quiet!"
Wolfwood:"I don't have time for your antics."
Damian and Arika looked like this (O_0) while they were fighting.
Arika:"SHUT UP!"
Melanie and Wolfwood shut up.
Arika:"I would like to go home now....."
Wolfwood:"Oh okay let me get Meryl and Milly,Okay?
Arika Knodded.She turned around and was about to say something to Steven,but he was gone.
Arika:"Huh?Where did he go?"
Melanie:"Oh I don't know."She said."He kinda werid;wearing sunglasses in the nighttime."
Arika:"He seemed fimilar."
Wolfwood:"Okay lets go"He said with Meryl and Milly securly on over his back.
Arika and the gang got the hotel, and tried to relax. They put Milly and Meryl in their beds to rest, and were going to just sit around in Vash's, Wolfwood's and Knives' rooms.
Melanie: "I'm never taking a walk in the dark again."
Arika: "You better not." she said. Melanie opened the door and Arika was about to go in when Melanie stepped back. "Ack, what are you doing Melanie?"
Melanie: "......um....."
Arika:*sigh* She went in, flicked the lights on, and walked inside. Melanie walked in cautiously staying away from Knives.
Melanie: 'It looked like Knives' eyes were glowing. Actually that'd be pretty cool.....but not right now."
Wolfwood: "Um......hello Knives"
Knives just sat there and stared blankly at him.
Wolfwood: "So where's Vash?"
Knives: (glare)
Wolfwood: "Okay....um that answers a lot, thanks Knives"
Arika: "Um....I'll go look for him. He has got to be some where."
Wolfwood: "Okay"
Arika went to open the door but then stopped. She could feel Knives glaring daggers into her back. She dare not turn around. She finally opened the door and closed it behind her. She then slid on the wall next to it. She could barely breathe in that room. The whole time he was staring her down. As if his cold blue eyes could kill her just by glaring. She got up and began her search for Vash.
****************
Vash: 'I sure hope Arika is okay....' he thought.
Vash was on the roof and he was looking up at the moon...... (Moons......Are the moons close together? (Shrug))
******************
Arika: 'I think I know where he is.' She thought and ran up the stairs to the roof. She opened the door to see Vash sitting there. Vash turned around.
Vash: "Arika!" He said and run up to her.
Arika: "Hi......" She said and smiled.
Vash: "Arika........um.......can I ....um......"
Arika: "Yeah?"
Vash: "Um......."
Arika: "Just say it....."
Vash: *HUGGLE*
Arika: "I said 'say it' not do it." She said but hugged back anyways.
Vash: "I was worried about you."
Arika: "Um you shouldn't be......"
Vash: "but..."
Arika: "Um......hey you're hugging a little too hard.......Hello?
Vash: "I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE OKAY!!!! (SOB) *BIG FUNNY FACE WITH TEARS*
Arika: "You Baka!" She said and punched him hard on the noggin.
Vash: "Ouch, why did you hit me Arika." He said with teary eyes.
Arika: (Giggles)
Vash: "Hm...."
Arika: "Um...... Sorry but that was funny." she said and sat down.
Vash: "Hm I guess so." He said and sat next to her.
Arika just sat there looking at the moon. Vash was looking somewhere else. He was staring for quite awhile until Arika caught him.
Arika: "Hey stop staring at me!"
Vash: "Um....sorry"
Arika: "No your not!" She said and got up and tangled up her legs and tripped on to Vash.
Arika and Vash just lay there for a moment looking at each other with surprise. The next moment they were engaged in a kiss.
Even though it was a simple kiss. An innocent kiss. It was very much a big thing for Arika and Vash.
Arika: "Maybe I shouldn't be doing this, but then again it's just an innocent kiss, but it feels more than that. Everything around us doesn't seem to matter anymore.
Everything was going well for this unplanned event. Their lips parted every once and a while. Vash rolled over so that Arika was on the floor but he wasn't on top of her just next to her. He decided to deepen the kiss. Arika wrapped her arms around Vash's neck. Vash pulled her closer to him. (AN: Not an innocent kiss anymore....Um.....heh heh)At this point Vash and Arika weren't thinking at all really. Vash started to kiss Arika's neck, which made her moan with pleasure. Suddenly she saw a flash backs from today. It was when Loyde was trying to push himself on her.
Arika: "Get off me!" she said and pushed Vash away.
Vash: "W-what? Did I do something wrong......um......did I go.....to far?"
Arika: "Huh?" She said. She was now realizing it was just a flashback.
Vash: "Arika?"
Arika: "Um.....No, Yes I mean it's just...."she said as she got up. "Um......we shouldn't be doing this." she said backing away."We should just be friends."
Vash: "But....um.....wait.What did I do wrong?"
Arika: "Um.....nothing it's just.....nothing."
Vash: "What do you mean?"
Arika: "I'm sorry, but I have to go now." she said confused and then turned around ran through the door and down the stairs. Vash got up bewildered and worried.
*************************
Hello all! Um.....ya that innocent little kiss turned into something more. Sorry about that but I had to do that for this chapter. Don't worry There's not going to be alot of kissy,touchy feely after this for awhile.This just happened because of natural attraction and the fact it was Vash. But Arika would have stopped soon.she have morals you know.Even Vash would have so it wouldn't go all the way trust my that was not my intention for this chapy.So even if you thought that kissing scene was appropriate at the time, you will not get to read about any kissing scenes anytime soon. Because something happens then another thing happens and another and another etc. We'll still have some fluff.I think,but not much other juicy stuff. So I hoped you thought I did okay on the kissing part, though I was blushing the whole time I was writing it.What would happen to me if I did a Lemon at the end of this fic? O,O I would die of embarrassment. Heh heh someone will help me if I do one right?
*********************
Next Time: (This might be the summary for the next chapter, but I don't know. Most likely, yes.
Vash asked what happened today when she ran from the hotel.Thinking that was bothering her too. Basically they talk about stuff and, well, the fact that Arika said 'that we should be friends' sticks .But that's actually for the best. They head to another town with much difficulty. It can't get any worse at the new town can it? I don't know but what if someone Arika met when she was around 8 ,612 years ago,and happened to be in town for unknown reasons? What will happen? Not to mention that the person is not allowed to be there, and the fact that that person is a woman.
Review please!
(Reviewers just glare at me.....)
Um......heh heh.....um.....sorry for taking so long to update....I was taking a long break from it.You see after my last update and the week before spring break I haven't written anything.But I made up for it by writing a long chapy......um....at least 12 pages.Could have wrote more but then we wouldn't have a clify at the end....(EVIL MANICAL LAUGH!)*ahem*The first part of the chapter was really hard to write.I had know idea how it would come out......like many other chapters I've written so far.....but towards the middle and end it flowed out a bit better.....so the first part kinda sucks then the middle and end are pretty good.
Oh I got a 12 inch Vash action figure! IT'S SO COOL! O_o~ It has keroneko(CUTE),his gun(looks realistic.)His machine gun/arm and removeable sunglasses! yes awsome right it is!Now if only they had a Knives action figure! Right Doomy-chan?
Anyways thanks reviewers!I um.......
Reviewers still glareing at me......
Um and DOOM-chan checked my grammer and stuff so your eyes won't burn out of your sockets when you see all of my pitiful mistakes.So thank her please....in your reviews.kk?
Reviewers:YEAH! DOOMY-chan BOO ARIKA -CHAN!(throws evil vegitables at me)

Angel of Light:Chapter 12
Disclaimer:I don't own Trigun
*******************
They kept walking and they stoped because they heard the foot steps again.There was no one outside besides them.They turned around and saw nothing again and did that 2 more times.
The second time they saw someone standing behind them.He had dark brown hair,and was average height,eye color couldn't be identified since it was dark.He had handcuffs on and the chains that was attached were dragging on the ground
********************
Meryl: "Why are you following us?" She said trying to sound brave. She saw the handcuffs that hung on his wrist. So he must have escaped from prison. This would mean he was a bad person that could try to hurt or kill her and her friends.
"Oh sorry.....Babe but I just thought you girls looked kinda lost."
Meryl: "Oh.....um....were not ....lost....." she said nervously and started to take a step back and looked back at Milly and Melanie.
Melanie: 'Babe?' She thought. She had been going through Arika's memories. She hadn't been able to see a lot, since the memories were being suppressed. She saw what happened at the bar, or most of it. She heard one of the guys calling Arika "babe". She snapped out of her thoughts and said. "You're the one......of the guys that was at the bar incident!"
Loyde: "Heh....What do you know I am famous......What was her name......Arika? Yeah she was a piece of work. If only that idiot, Vash the Stampede hadn't come into the picture it would have been another good time in my book.
Melanie: "Grr......how dare you say that!"
Loyde: "Heh......Your friends with her, huh?" he said ignoring Melanie.
Melanie: "Wait till I throw you back to jail. How did you get out of jail anyways....?" Melanie asked.
Loyde: "I had some help."
Melanie: "What? From your lackeys?"
Loyde: "No they abandoned me. When I have my fun with you guys I'll find their sorry asses and kill em on the spot."
Melanie: "Good for you now if only you would get rid of all the bad guys on Gunsmoke. Oh, wait, then you would have to kill yourself." She said and walked towards him.
Milly: "Melanie! Don't cause the scary man to get mad......because because then he might hurt you.....and well I don't want that to happen to you........." she said worriedly.
Melanie: "But......we need to do something......"
Loyde: "So you know Vash the Stampede?"
Melanie: "Yeah!"
Loyde: "How about if the authority found out about your association with him? Hm?"
Meryl: "If you tell the police about Vash then you will go back to jail!"
Loyde: "Well that is not a problem, I will get out eventually. Then you and Vash will all go to jail and being the sissy you are you will probably not escape."
Milly: "Why would we go to jail and why would you be willing to risk your freedom?"
Loyde: "Well......You are always with him and well most people would think you are like his assistants in crime or something. Either way your friend Vash is going to jail."
Melanie: (whispers)"Meryl do you have your derringers?"
Meryl: "Yeah...." she whispered
Melanie: "And Milly do you have your stun gun?"
Milly: "Yep!......I mean yep....."
Melanie: "Then we can kick his butt......"
Milly: "I don't know....I'm kinda scared but....he tried to hurt Arika-chan and Vash-san so......I think it's a good idea for this situation...."
Meryl: (sigh) We don't have much of a choice."
Loyde: "What are you 3 whispering about?"
Melanie: "Ready?" She whispered to Meryl and Milly.
Milly and Meryl nodded.
Melanie: "Okay, I'll distract him" she said as she walked towards Loyde; Milly and Meryl got ready for the fight.
Loyde: "Oh so you're going to fight?"
Melanie: "Yep!" She said and ran towards him and jumped up into the air and when she was over his head, kicked the back of it. Loyde ended up trying to balance himself so he didn't fall on his face. Loyde turned to see Melanie, when Milly shot from her stun gun. He turned to the big hunk of metal coming towards him. It ended up missing.
Milly: "Huh? Hey what happened you couldn't have not gotten hit......?!" she said in disbelief.
Loyde: "Believe it" He said and got his gun out. Meryl reacted to this by shooting it out of his hand, and hit his hand somewhat. "Well looks like.....I'll have to kill you with my own hands." he said and quickly turned around and grabbed Melanie. Melanie cried out in pain when she was thrown into the ground in front of him. Loyde pulled out a knife from his pocket.
Meryl: "Stop! If you don't step away from Melanie I will shoot you!"
Loyde didn't listen to Meryl and kicked Melanie hard. Melanie yelled out in pain.
****************
Arika who was tired of walking sat on the ground to sort through everything that happened today. She was tired of always not knowing all of her past. She still was trying to remember all of it. She knew a lot of it was really depressing, and even somewhat disturbing,yet it had it's good times.Where she originated from was not heaven, it was a place between heaven and somewhere else....But definitely not heaven.
Arika: 'Maybe Damian and I shouldn't have been born, and if I was, then why are Damian and I here? What's our purpose? Am I supposed to save everyone from him? Be a hero? Damian isn'tbad. He was always there for me when I was younger and I know he still has lots of good in him. Am I here to suffer, because that's what it seems like. When I was a light/Dark angel back then the people who knew who I was treated me like I was a disease. Well they kinda had a point of doing so.We could have killed them all, but I had made it through safely with out killing someone or myself with the help of my friends and Artimis,but something bad always happens when I finally find some kind of happiness' She thought. She was knocked from her thoughts when she heard someone yelling. She realized it was Melanie.
****************
Wolfwood: "(sigh)I have been looking for Arika forever. I wonder why she was in pain......" he said. Then he also heard someone screaming, and decided to try to find who that yell belonged to.
Arika ran toward the voices that she heard nearby. She took a short cut through an alley.
****************
Milly: "LEAVE MELANIE ALONE! OR I WILL .......um...."
Loyde: "Or you will what" He said and laughed. Loyde had Melanie in a choke hold.
Meryl: "Stop it now. You could escape into the night right now and be free!"
Loyde: "But I love to see a good blood bath or a frightened face before I go, is that too much to ask?"
*****************
Arika saw Melanie in a choke hold by some guy. Milly tried to defend Melanie by trying to threaten him but it didn't work out. She was about to save Melanie when she heard the guy talk and laugh. She froze on that step forward. Arika was still trying to get over what happened today. She just couldn't get over the terrible memory that was now embedded into her mind, but she couldn't break down and do nothing. She had to save her friends from the fate that could have been hers. She got ready to charge.
Arika:'The Element of Surprise was on my side. Just pretend he's Vash when you're really mad at him for doing something stupid and you hit him, except harder and stuff. Hm well Imagining he is Vash is hard to do, Vash has aqua eyes, he has brown eyes.....Vash has blond hair, he has brown hair, hm.....and Vash is tall and handsome and has a nice bod......I think........waaaaahh! Shut up! Your friends need you and you're dreaming about Vash! Yeah, anyways here I go!' She thought and sprinted off toward him.
*****************
Loyde: "Well I think you should die now, nice talking to someone who knows Vash the Stampede, but I think you lived a long life....."
Melanie: 'He doesn't know how right he is, I am 216 and ½ years old, but up there it's not that old at all. Waaaaaaaaahh! I don't wanna die ......Knives I hope your happy!'
*****************
Knives is seen sleeping in his bed with a weird smile on his face. He mumbled something and rolled around while his sheets tangle around with him. He ended up falling on the floor.
******************
Arika: "HELLO!" She said as she jumped up to execute a kick. Loyde turned to see what was going on and decided it was best if he moved from the spot he was in, but it was a little to late for that. Loyde grunted in pain as her kick made a connection to his chest. He managed to stay on his feet. He grabbed Arika's arm and threw her in back of him. She also managed to land on her feet as she slid back on the sandy ground, but had to put her hands on the ground to keep her from falling on her face. He turned around to see who would dare kick him while he was trying to kill someone.
Loyde: "Well......hello....Arika."
Arika: "How did you get out of jail?"
Loyde: "That seems to be the question of the day, huh?" He said and saw that Melanie was a safe distance from him next to Milly and Meryl.
Melanie: "Kick his butt Arika!"
Arika: "You know I will." She said trying to be brave. She really didn't like this guy, not just because he was a jerk but he really scared her. It was just something in his eyes and she didn't wanna find out what it was.
Loyde: "Well guess I might get my wish today." he said and got something that looked like a tube with some kind of powder in it.
Today happened to be windy and the wind was going towards Milly and the others. He opened the tube up and threw the contents at them. The wind caused the powder the to head towards Milly and the others. Arika managedto run to and climb up a ladder that was hinged on to a building, while the others got a whiff of the powder. Their coughs were heard and then their bodies went limp. It turns out it was a sleeping powder. Anyone that had sniffed up any of it would be a sleep for less then a day.
Loyde: "(unique laugh that Arika hates)That didn't go exactly how I wanted it but oh well."
Arika was beginning to feel weird again. She covered her ears because she didn't wanna here that stupid laugh.
Loyde: "Arika.......come down, I know you're up there; unless you want me to come up there myself."
Arika didn't know what to do. Her friends are down there unconscious, maybe even dead. That bastard hurt her friends, but she didn't think she had the strength to hurt him. The truth is she did, but she couldn't do it alone. Not physically, but mentally knowing her friends were there with her to help her concentrate on kicking what ever ass dared to hurt her friends. And the fact that she didn't really care about herself, and being on the verge of unconsciousness, she didn't really know what she should do.
Loyde: "Arika I would come down if I were you....."
Arika: (whispers to herself)"What should I do?" She said and held on to her head. She didn't wanna lose control. She didn't wanna know what she would do when she wasn't in control. She almost killed someone. Well he deserved to be killed, but still, what if she starts to kill innocent people? Then she would be no better than any of the people that had wronged her in the past.
Loyde: "Well then I guess your friends will have to suffer. You know they're not dead, they're just asleep, for now."
Arika: 'Oh they're just asleep, I am so glad. Um.....wait he said for now. I got to get up!' she did as she said and Said. "Hey!"
Loyde turned around and said "Aw.....so what are you going to do? Corporate or fight?"
Arika: "Fight what else?"
Loyde: "Okay......."
Arika got on the edge of the roof and jumped towards Loyde and basically fell on him. Then she kinda decided that wasn't the best thing to do. She was going to Frankenstein him but it was because right when she jumped she felt a sudden pain.
Arika: "Damn it! Nothing is going right!"
Loyde: "That's not the same for me!" he said and tried to get on top of her.
Arika: "Ack! No!! Get away!!" She yelled and tried to kick him off and succeeded but then he tried again. This time she punched him in the face. By that time Loyde had just about lost his patience with her and just with a single punch knocked her to the ground.
Loyde: "Stupid! You could have just lie down and let me have my way with you, but no of course not! You have to try to be a strong woman and try to overpower me. Well guess what I am going to bang you up and then bring you along with me to the desert for those long cold nights." He said happily and laughed at the thought of her trying to defend herself against him.
Arika was really getting pissed off listening to him. Yet she couldn't do anything under the circumstances. He had a good right hook.
Loyde: "Your Vash the Stampede isn't here to save you now and even if he was he wouldn't be able to defeat me. Last time he got lucky." he said and laughed again.
Arika: "Shut the fucking hell up!" she said even though she was still down on the ground. The rage that she had suddenly grown inside her heart caused that outburst.
Loyde looked down surprised which turned into anger.
Loyde: "Don't you say that to me!"
Arika got kicked up into the air and landed hard to the ground.
*******************
Wolfwood: "Dammit I can't find anyone and I have been looking for a while. I swear it didn't sound to far away. Maybe I took a wrong turn." He said and continued to search for Arika and the gang.
*******************
Arika had lost the rage that had flowed through her awhile ago and now regretted speaking up to Loyde. She wasn't doing so good he had kicked her another time.
Loyde: "Maybe I should go mess up your friends instead."
Arika: "No! Wait....."
Loyde: "Hm......? You'll do what I want?"
Arika: 'I can't let him touch them. There not even conscious. But........How am I going to get.......' She didn't finish her thought. She fainted because Loyde had kicked her once in the stomach which probably caused internal bleeding.
Loyde: "Heh, She fainted." he said and walked up to her, and as he was walking toward her Arika had some how lifted herself off the ground; except she was in her trance like-state. She stood up all the way up and stared down at the terrible fiend in front of her. Energy surged around her causing her to glow. "What the......" he said and started to step back and then decided to run, but she somehow appeared in front of him with out any teleportation involved. Now Loyde was really freaking out.
*******************
Wolfwood: "Wow what's that light over there? Better check it out." he said and as he ran towards it he thought. 'I hope Milly and the others are okay.'
*******************
Arika was standing right in front of Loyde and she reached out and put her hand out in front of his chest. She somehow gathered some of the energy around her and into her palm and made a circular ball of energy. She then launched it at Loyde. It pushed him away from her.and engulfed him. It looked like there was static electricity all around the ball and inside. The energy ball then subsided and freed the man, who now looked really beat up. Since she was finally out of danger she now fell limp to the ground.
***********************
Knives eyes popped open. He looked around franticly." What was that?" he said. One minute there was a mass amount of energy and then nothing. He knew what it was now.He looked down and notice that he was tangled up in his sheets.
*******************
(somewhere?)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Damian: "Hm?" he said to himself. He was eating dinner and had not been monitoring Arika or anything really. "It's Arika" He said and got up and teleported to were Arika was.
*******************
Damian saw some of Arika's friends lying unconscious on the ground.He saw who did this to them and then saw Arika. He walked towards her. He carefully lifted her upper body up so that her head could rest on his chest. "Your not suppose to use your energy so much that you exhaust yourself. Oh yeah, you can't control your powers yet." He said to her. "Guess I gotta heal you." he said and did what he said
*******************
Wolfwood: "Hey! Milly! Melanie? Meryl? Arika?! Where are you?" He said and suddenly got hit with a shoe. "Ouch! Who hit me? Come on speak up or I'll!"
An Old Lady: "Or you will what?" She said standing at the window with her hands balled up on her sides.
Wolfwood: "Um......nothing" he said sheepishly.
An Old lady: "Keep it quiet or else I'll send my son after you."
Wolfwood: "Um okay.....sorry...."
An Old Lady: "You better be!"
Wolfwood:"*fake laugh*Bye (waves) he said and ran through the alley. "What an old hag"
An Old Lady: "I heard you! Morres! Get my gun ready for tomorrow, I'm a shooting me a priest!"
Wolfwood: 'I'm so glade were leaving tomorrow.'
********************
Damian heard someone coming. He heard that someone calling for Arika and the others.
Damian: "Oh uh....shit......" He said and got his sunglasses out and put them on. 'Oh.....this is gonna look weird; Sunglasses when it's dark and at the scene of the crime.'
Wolfwood: "Hey......it's you, from the bar...."
Damian: "Ah.....yeah....Hi."he said trying to smile.
Wolfwood: "Why are you here?"
Damian: "(has hands behind back)I was at the .......um...General Store and I past by here and saw your friends here unconscious."
Wolfwood: "Oh yeah? Where are your groceries?"
Damian: "Um.....here" He said and brought out a bag from behind his back.
Wolfwood: "Okay." He said and saw Milly and the others and ran to them. "Are they okay?"
Damian: "Yeah I already checked."
Arika suddenly woke up.
Arika:"Hm.......Were am I?"she said to herself.
Damian:"HUh?"
Arika:"Who are you?"
Wolfwood:"Hey your awake."
Arika:"Wolfwood is he one of you friends?"
Wolfwood:"Um.....more of an aquantiant.Um but don't worry he was here before me and he was just checking if you guy are alright.He said but then looked over and saw some man on the ground.He looked really beat up."Hey who that?"
Damian:"I guess that the guy who try to hurt your friends.
Wolfwood:"Oh really."He said.'How dare this idiot try to hurt my Milly and her friends.'he though and walked over."Hey!wake up."
Loyde woke up.Looking really tired and worn out,but he got up and looked around.He saw Arika and then he started to panic.
Loyde:"m..m....m..."he stuttered to say something.He pointed towards Arika.
Wolfwood:"Huh?"He said and looked to where he was pointing.
Loyde:"monsuta- !monsuta- !You are not human and .....what ever you are I don't care what you are.All I know is that you are a monsuta- !!"He said and shakely got up and ran away.(A/N:Monsuta means monster)
Wolfwood:"HEY! GET BACK HERE!YOu lunitic!"
Arika's pupil narrowed.Now remembered everything from tonight.She had forgot for awhile.Oh that was bliss but now she remembered.It is terrible.
She clinged on to Steven unintentionally.She then notice what she was doing and let go.
Arika:"Im sorry I didn't mean too."
Damian:"It's okay.I guess you've been through alot.Don't worry about that guy.He just some idiot.They all come out at night time like coachroaches."
Arika:"Yeah I guess."she said and got up so did Damian.She still was very upset about everything,but for now she would not think about it.
Wolfwood:"How am I going to carry everyone.....?"
Suddenly Melanie Woke up.
Melanie: "Nani?"
Wolfwood: "Hey your awake.......um.....make yourself useful...." he didn't finish because Melanie ran off to Arika and the man next to her."Hey Listen to me!"
Melanie: "(said really fast)Hey...? Who are you?Did you save us?Oh hi Arika are you okay?Are you....(muffled sounds) Wolfwood had put his hand over Melanie's mouth.
Wolfwood: "Shut up and stop acting like a kid."
Melanie: "(pulls Hand off mouth)I was just asking some questions!"
Wolfwood: "Just be quiet....."
Melanie: "You be quiet!"
Wolfwood:"I don't have time for your antics."
Damian and Arika looked like this (O_0) while they were fighting.
Arika:"SHUT UP!"
Melanie and Wolfwood shut up.
Arika:"I would like to go home now....."
Wolfwood:"Oh okay let me get Meryl and Milly,Okay?
Arika Knodded.She turned around and was about to say something to Steven,but he was gone.
Arika:"Huh?Where did he go?"
Melanie:"Oh I don't know."She said."He kinda werid;wearing sunglasses in the nighttime."
Arika:"He seemed fimilar."
Wolfwood:"Okay lets go"He said with Meryl and Milly securly on over his back.
Arika and the gang got the hotel, and tried to relax. They put Milly and Meryl in their beds to rest, and were going to just sit around in Vash's, Wolfwood's and Knives' rooms.
Melanie: "I'm never taking a walk in the dark again."
Arika: "You better not." she said. Melanie opened the door and Arika was about to go in when Melanie stepped back. "Ack, what are you doing Melanie?"
Melanie: "......um....."
Arika:*sigh* She went in, flicked the lights on, and walked inside. Melanie walked in cautiously staying away from Knives.
Melanie: 'It looked like Knives' eyes were glowing. Actually that'd be pretty cool.....but not right now."
Wolfwood: "Um......hello Knives"
Knives just sat there and stared blankly at him.
Wolfwood: "So where's Vash?"
Knives: (glare)
Wolfwood: "Okay....um that answers a lot, thanks Knives"
Arika: "Um....I'll go look for him. He has got to be some where."
Wolfwood: "Okay"
Arika went to open the door but then stopped. She could feel Knives glaring daggers into her back. She dare not turn around. She finally opened the door and closed it behind her. She then slid on the wall next to it. She could barely breathe in that room. The whole time he was staring her down. As if his cold blue eyes could kill her just by glaring. She got up and began her search for Vash.
****************
Vash: 'I sure hope Arika is okay....' he thought.
Vash was on the roof and he was looking up at the moon...... (Moons......Are the moons close together? (Shrug))
******************
Arika: 'I think I know where he is.' She thought and ran up the stairs to the roof. She opened the door to see Vash sitting there. Vash turned around.
Vash: "Arika!" He said and run up to her.
Arika: "Hi......" She said and smiled.
Vash: "Arika........um.......can I ....um......"
Arika: "Yeah?"
Vash: "Um......."
Arika: "Just say it....."
Vash: *HUGGLE*
Arika: "I said 'say it' not do it." She said but hugged back anyways.
Vash: "I was worried about you."
Arika: "Um you shouldn't be......"
Vash: "but..."
Arika: "Um......hey you're hugging a little too hard.......Hello?
Vash: "I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE OKAY!!!! (SOB) *BIG FUNNY FACE WITH TEARS*
Arika: "You Baka!" She said and punched him hard on the noggin.
Vash: "Ouch, why did you hit me Arika." He said with teary eyes.
Arika: (Giggles)
Vash: "Hm...."
Arika: "Um...... Sorry but that was funny." she said and sat down.
Vash: "Hm I guess so." He said and sat next to her.
Arika just sat there looking at the moon. Vash was looking somewhere else. He was staring for quite awhile until Arika caught him.
Arika: "Hey stop staring at me!"
Vash: "Um....sorry"
Arika: "No your not!" She said and got up and tangled up her legs and tripped on to Vash.
Arika and Vash just lay there for a moment looking at each other with surprise. The next moment they were engaged in a kiss.
Even though it was a simple kiss. An innocent kiss. It was very much a big thing for Arika and Vash.
Arika: "Maybe I shouldn't be doing this, but then again it's just an innocent kiss, but it feels more than that. Everything around us doesn't seem to matter anymore.
Everything was going well for this unplanned event. Their lips parted every once and a while. Vash rolled over so that Arika was on the floor but he wasn't on top of her just next to her. He decided to deepen the kiss. Arika wrapped her arms around Vash's neck. Vash pulled her closer to him. (AN: Not an innocent kiss anymore....Um.....heh heh)At this point Vash and Arika weren't thinking at all really. Vash started to kiss Arika's neck, which made her moan with pleasure. Suddenly she saw a flash backs from today. It was when Loyde was trying to push himself on her.
Arika: "Get off me!" she said and pushed Vash away.
Vash: "W-what? Did I do something wrong......um......did I go.....to far?"
Arika: "Huh?" She said. She was now realizing it was just a flashback.
Vash: "Arika?"
Arika: "Um.....No, Yes I mean it's just...."she said as she got up. "Um......we shouldn't be doing this." she said backing away."We should just be friends."
Vash: "But....um.....wait.What did I do wrong?"
Arika: "Um.....nothing it's just.....nothing."
Vash: "What do you mean?"
Arika: "I'm sorry, but I have to go now." she said confused and then turned around ran through the door and down the stairs. Vash got up bewildered and worried.
*************************
Hello all! Um.....ya that innocent little kiss turned into something more. Sorry about that but I had to do that for this chapter. Don't worry There's not going to be alot of kissy,touchy feely after this for awhile.This just happened because of natural attraction and the fact it was Vash. But Arika would have stopped soon.she have morals you know.Even Vash would have so it wouldn't go all the way trust my that was not my intention for this chapy.So even if you thought that kissing scene was appropriate at the time, you will not get to read about any kissing scenes anytime soon. Because something happens then another thing happens and another and another etc. We'll still have some fluff.I think,but not much other juicy stuff. So I hoped you thought I did okay on the kissing part, though I was blushing the whole time I was writing it.What would happen to me if I did a Lemon at the end of this fic? O,O I would die of embarrassment. Heh heh someone will help me if I do one right?
*********************
Next Time: (This might be the summary for the next chapter, but I don't know. Most likely, yes.
Vash asked what happened today when she ran from the hotel.Thinking that was bothering her too. Basically they talk about stuff and, well, the fact that Arika said 'that we should be friends' sticks .But that's actually for the best. They head to another town with much difficulty. It can't get any worse at the new town can it? I don't know but what if someone Arika met when she was around 8 ,612 years ago,and happened to be in town for unknown reasons? What will happen? Not to mention that the person is not allowed to be there, and the fact that that person is a woman.
Review please!
