Chapter One: Meeting Her For The First Time

It was a sunny hot afternoon, the suns beating on a girl. The desert was hotter then ever for the girl that was walking from Jasper.

A girl about 5' 6" was walking from a town about 3 iles away she had long silky hair tied in a ponytail. She wore a plain white shirt and shorts that are dark blue. She had a sheath that was tied with a string and over her shoulder.

She was walking for a while she stopped and found a rock to sit on so she at on the rock. She was looked around and saw a town about 2 iles away it half of the town was lively and the other half was gloomy the girl thought about what might of happen. Then she heard her phone ring. Ring, ring, ring

"Hello." A girl said with a toneless voice.

"Hey did you have a safe trip?" a familiar voice said.

"Fine I guess now I have a bounty on my head." The girl said as shrugged her shoulders like nothing happened.

"What! How did you get a bounty?" The voice blared on the phone. The girl had to put the phone away from her ear the shouting was too loud to bear.

The girl put the phone back after she heard the voice wasn't yelling anymore.

"Just say I did something I wasn't supposed to do." The girl said with angry tone in her voice.

"Wow now I guess you have high bounty." Commented the voice, as the voice waited for an answer from her friend.

"Not that high but not as high as Vash." The girl replied happily.

"I see. Oh before I forget do you see a town where you are?" She asked.

"Yes I do." The girl replied.

"Okay that's Jupiter." She said in a calm voice trying not to yell again

"Cool." The girl commented in a thrilled tone.

"Okay Vash is there with Nicholas and the Bernardelli Insurance girls." She said.

"I see. Hey I was wondering did you find a way to get me back?" The girl asked.

"I'm working on it." She said in a concerned tone.

"I see well thanks I have to get going." The girl said in a disappointed tone.

"Okay I almost forgot when you see Vash call him Ericks." She commented.

"Why?" The girl asked.

"You don't want people to panic now do you?" She replied with laughter in her tone.

"Oh ya almost forgot." The girl said. She almost forgot that people would try to get his bounty if she said what his real name was.

"Well just remember to call him Ericks." She said in a demanding voice.

"Yes I will bye." The girl said in a happy tone.

"Bye." They hung up the phone. The girl had plenty of rest. She got up from the rock and started walking again. When she got to the town people were staring at her she knew that they were frighten because she was caring a sword with her and also she had a bounty for her but no one tried to stop her. Some of the villagers ran away from her. She went to a hotel.

"How much is it for a room?" The girl asked.

"$$100." The innkeeper said. The girl paid the innkeeper and got a key and went to the room and left her stuff there and went outside to look around the town. While she was walking awhile when she saw a bar and went in. The bar was really dark yet cool she hadn't had a drink for a while so she sat at the bar by a man in a red coat blonde hair and soft green eyes and a mole on his left check.

"Give me a cold class of beer please." Girl said to the bartender.

"Sure." The bartender said. So the bartender went and got the beer for her. While she was drinking the man in the red coat just looked at her. The girl knew who he was but didn't say anything. The girl looked at him and then she looked for the bartender.

"Excuse me!" Girl said. The bartender went to the girl.

"How much is it?" Girl asked.

" $$1." The bartender said. The girl paid the bartender and sat their then she turned to the guy.

"Excuse me are you Ericks?" The girl asked as she turning to him.

"Yes I am why do you ask?" Ericks replied with what you want expression on his face.

"I need to talk to you." The girl said. She read the expression on his face.

"Okay. So are we going to talk here?" Erick asked. He was worried that she was going to kill him.

"No we are going to talk in my room follow me please." The girl replied. Ericks nod his head and followed the girl to her hotel room. It was 1 block away. They went up to the 2nd floor and the girl took out her key and opened the door they went in and Ericks sat at the couch while the girl closed the door and went to the chair. The room was nice and cool you could here the air conditioner, they stayed quiet. It was too quiet so Ericks broke the silence

"Who are you?" Ericks asked with worried and concerned tone in his voice

"I'm Jane Frost and I know who you are." The girl answered with happiness in her voice.

"You do?" Erick asked in a worried tone.

"Your Vash the Stampede right." Jane said in a toneless voice.

"Ya I am. Are you trying to get the bounty that's on my head?" Vash said with a worried tone in his voice.

"No I'm not." Jane said with a kind tone.

"Really?" Vash said.

"I have a bounty on my head too." Jane replied not very happy about it.

"Really what did you do?" Vash asked.

"I'll tell you when you're ready." Jane said anger in her tone.

"Okay." Vash said.

"I have something to ask you." Jane said.

"What is it?" Vash asked.

"I want to be your partner." Jane said.

" What!" Vash asked.

"I know you can take care of yourself but you might want someone to be partnered up with." Jane answered.

"I guess but I do have Nicholas though." Vash said. Surprised what he was asked by Jane.

"I know but I'll stay by your side in whatever the case will be." Jane said.

"Okay. So what is your weapon?" Vash asked.

"Reverse blade sword." Jane answered.

"I have to test you before you can be my partner." Vash said.

"Okay." Jane said.

"Okay follow me please." Vash said. Jane nodded her head and followed Vash outside and to a place where no one was living so they can do the test. Vash drew his gun and Jane unsheathed her Reverse blade sword and was ready.

"You see that can over there?" Vash said as he pointed back of him it was an old rusted Pepsi can that was there about 3 years old you could barely see anything on it.

"Yes I do." Jane answered.

"Try to hit the can with my bullet." Vash said. Looking at her and saw that she was different from other people he meet when he looked into her blue eyes he seems in a warm and kind place.

"Okay." Jane replied.

"On the count of three I'll pull the trigger okay." Vash said.

"Okay." Jane said.

"One, two, three." He pulled the trigger and the bullet flew towards Jane. Jane watched the bullet as it came, she blocked the bullet with her sword and the bullet reflected off the blade and went the other direction hitting the can. Vash was amazed he watch the movements of the bullet and Jane he saw that she was very quick and cunning you could say as cunning as a tiger.

"Wow I can't believe it." Vash said in amazement.

"Thanks Vash." Jane said with happiness in her voice.

"Your welcome, my new partner." Vash said. Vash smiled at Jane. Jane smiled back at him and nodded her head. They put away their weapons as they were heading back Meryl and Milly came and started talking to them.

"Hey who are you I haven't seen you before?" Meryl said.

"I'm Jane Frost and you must be Meryl Strife and the girl next to you is Milly Thompson." Jane replied.

"Yes but how did you know?" Meryl asked. She was surprised what she heard and didn't know what to say.

"I have ways of knowing." Jane replied. Her tone was like I know everything about this place attitude.

"I see. You must know you're next to a dangerous man right?" Meryl asked.

"Yes I do but were partners." Jane replied. Meryl mouth opened wide and looked at them in amazement then Meryl looked at Milly.

"That's wonderful." Milly said with a happy tone in her voice.

"It's not the time to say that." Meryl said with anger in her tone.

"Really I think it is. Now we have someone to keep track on Vash." Milly said with a happy tone in her voice. While the two Bernardelli Insurance girls were talking Vash and Jane started to leave when Meryl interrupted.

"Hey were you going?" Meryl asked.

"Back at my place you can come if you want." Jane said with happy tone in her voice.

"Oh thank you." Meryl said. They followed Jane back to her hotel room. The two Bernardelli Insurance girls were tired so they slept in the bed and Vash and Jane were talking.

"Tell me how do you know about me?" Vash asked.

"I have someone tipping me off." Jane said. Not very happy that Vash asking her question she knows he wants answer but she can't tell him yet.

"Who?" Vash asked.

"You don't want to know." Jane replied.

"Why not?" Vash asked. He was very confused why Jane wasn't telling him stuff.

"You will know soon. Besides you need me in times when you need to know how to use lost technology." Jane said.

"Wow I didn't know." Vash said with amazement in his voice.

"Ya it's a gift." Jane said with a bragging tone in her voice.

"I see." Vash said. He was in deep thought then his thoughts were interrupted with a noise. Knock, knock, knock, knock

"Come in." Jane said. A tall man came in he was warring black pants black shirt with a white collar he had a cross like baggage with a cloth warped around it with strap tied around it securing the cloth.

"Hey Needle noggin." Nicholas said

"Hey Wolfwood what are you doing here?" Vash asked

"This girl invited me." Nicholas said. While he said that he looked at her and smiled. She smiled back.

"Say Hi to my new partner." Vash said with happiness in his voice and smiled.

"What!!!!!!!!!!" Nicholas said with his mouth wide open and was confused what happened right now.

"Ya I tested her today she will be useful." Vash said still smiling at him.

"Really?" Nicholas asked in a toneless voice.

"Excuses me I need to do some stuff please feel free to sit and talk." Jane said as left the room and went into the hall and used her cell phone and called someone. Ring, ring, ring

"Hey do you know were Legato or Knives at?" Jane asked in a concerned tone in her voice.

"I only know where Legato is." Voice replied.

"Where?" Jane asked with concerned tone in her voice.

"Legato is near you and he has one of the Gung Ho-Guns member with him. Knives in a town but I don't know where exactly but I do know that if you go to Kansas you will be near him." She said.

"I see hey thanks for the info." Jane said.

"No problem well I got to go see ya." She said.

"Okay see ya." Jane said. They hung up the phone Jane went back to the room. She opened the door and went in the room and closed the door behind her.

"Vash Legato is near this town and he has one of the Gung Ho-Guns members with him." Jane said.

"What!!!!!!!!" Vash said in a serious voice.

"My sources said he's here." Jane replied.

"I see what should we do?" Vash asked.

"Fight." Jane said with anger in her voice. She really hates Knives when she first saw him.

"I can't." Vash said with a serious tone in his voice.

"I know but we should before he kills someone in this town." Jane said in a serious tone in her voice. Vash looked at the floor and thought for a while.

"You're right let's go." Vash said.

"Okay. Are you coming Wolfwood?" Jane asked.

"Ya I'm going." Nicholas replied.

"What about them?" Nicholas asked as he looked back in the room the two girls were sleeping.

"They will be okay." Jane said as she looked at the girls that were asleep.

"Okay." Vash said. They got their weapons and headed out of town and into the desert. Jane looked around.

"Legato is here." Jane said in a toneless voice.

"Are you sure?" Vash asked.

"Yes." Jane replied. Then all of a sudden, Legato had jumped from the cliff and landed in front of them with one of the Gung Ho-Guns member behind him.

"Well I see you made a new friend Vash. Were going to give you and your friend's internal suffering for defiling my master." Legato said in a toneless voice.

"I'm not going to let any more people die in the hands of you." Vash said anger in his voice.

"Are you sure?" Legato asked.

"Yes I'm sure." Vash said still anger in his voice.

"Let's see how well you and your friends handle Leo the 6th Gung- Ho- Guns." Legato said with a smirk oh his face. Vash drew out his silver upside down six-shooter and put on his sunglasses, Nicholas unstraped his weapon, and Jane unsheathed her sword and was ready for the fight.

Leo was about 10 feet high with huge muscles with a machine-gun arm and body made of steal and grenade belt he was no ordinary person in that matter he was what you could call a body builder.

"Prepare to die." Leo said as shot his machine-gun his bullets missing them Vash used his gun tried to get his bullets to hit him but it bounced off of him. Nicholas used his rocket launcher and hit Leo in the chest but no scar. Jane used her Reveres blade sword and cut through his machine-gun arm but was shot in the arm in the presses blood was dripping everywhere. Jane fell with a loud thud. Vash ran towards her and took her away from danger; he noticed that she was serious injured. She got up and fought more knowing that she might die from the wound was better then getting killed by Leo. Leo threw his grenade at Jane she jumped out of the way and the grenade exploded behind her. Leo was strong and tough he had no cut anywhere except his arm with the machine-gun on it. Jane jumped in the air and did three flips and was in back of him she jumped landed on his shoulder and cut him in the arm when she did she saw something that was not right. She looked very closely and saw he was a robot. Leo was trying to get her off of himself but she was moving quickly as she can to get out of the way of Leo's hand.

"He's a robot try shooting him the head and I'll go for the chest." Jane shouted. Vash nodded his head. Leo grabbed Jane by the ankle as he throw her across the plain. She hit a rock and fell more blood came out of her wound. She tried to get up but Nicholas made her sit down for a bit because he notices she was losing too much blood. Vash went for the head and was able to shot the head off clean and Wolfwood was able to get a shot at his body with his rocked launcher and Jane got up where she was sitting and cut his body to pieces.

"Congratulation but next time you won't be luck." Legato said in a toneless voice.

"We will defeat anyone you throw at us." Jane said with anger in her voice.

"We will see and my master wants you later when he's ready." Legato said in a toneless voice.

"Me? Why?" Jane asked. She was confused why would Knives what her?

"You'll see." Legato said as he disappeared and left to Knives hidout.

At the hideout

"Master they are cunning with her at their side from what I saw." Legato said.

"Well if she is gone he won't be able to do anything and with her we will be able to kill him." Knives replied as laugh wildly.

In the desert

Vash helped Jane and tended to her wound, he brought bandages and clean water to clean the wound out.

"I think you should go to a doctor to check it out." Vash said in a in a concerned tone in his voice.

"I'll be fine." Jane replied.

"Are you sure?" Vash asked.

"Yes and thank you Vash." Jane said.

"No problem." Vash said. Vash smiled at her. She smiled back not showing the pain she had.

"You know we should get going before this town is a destroyed by Legato." Jane said.

"Ya. Hey where's Wolfwood?" Vash asked.

"He went to wake up the girls." Jane answered.

"Oh." Vash said.

"Let's go to Kansas." Jane said with excitement in her voice.

"Why?" Vash asked.

"Like I said we will be closer to Knives." Jane answered. Vash nodded his head and saw Wolfwood with the girls.

"Were going to Kansas." Vash said.

"Okay." Nicholas answered.

"What! But why?" Meryl asked.

"Someone is there and we want to talk to them." Vash answered

"Okay well but we are coming okay." Meryl said.

"Okay" Vash replied. He smiled and everyone started heading west. It was going to be a long trip but they had to get there at least on the 2nd day. They started their journey to Kansas that day.
