Chapter Two- A Warning…
Last Time:
"Come on… there should be a doctor here some where." Vash smiled and Ed scowled again, he was almost a head and a half taller than him. But for some reason Vash didn't make some smart remark about it. He just helped Ed walk.
"I think I see a town…" Ed smiled. He was already starting to like the other man, he reminded him of his little brother from the way he acted. Vash's smile was contagious, Ed found himself laughing with Vash about the simplest of things. He rarely smiled… except around his brother.
Ed flinched again as the doctor stitched up his arm, the anesthesia not working completely yet. Vash was sitting across the room, his glasses off and his head cocked to the side.
"All done." The doctor told Ed and wrapped up his upper arm, tying the cloth bandage.
"Thanks doc." Ed nodded and jumped off the table. "How much do I owe you?"
"It's on the house."
"Thank you sir." Edward thanked her and pulled his jacket on. Vash stood and thanked the doctor as they walked out of the building. Ed looked around the village they were in and looked at Vash. "Do you think they have any food around here?" Edward asked him and he shrugged.
"I have no idea… maybe they have dOnUtS!" He said hungrily, Ed looked over his shoulder at Vash.
"You alright?"
"I like donuts."
"I can tell." Ed replied and walked into a pastry shop. He came back out a few minutes later with a box of donuts and…
"No milk? Why didn't you get milk?" Vash asked him as his eyes were filled with a childish delight as he grabbed the box from Ed.
Ed made a face, "I hate milk."
"Well you could get some for me…" Vash said and bit into a donut as Ed walked back in then came back out holding a carton of milk.
"Alright, here you go." Ed handed him the milk. Vash had already devoured the donuts while Ed had been gone and now quickly gulped down the milk.
"Thank you." Vash said and threw both cartons away. "Now where are we going?"
"No idea… we need to find a way home I guess."
"Perhaps we should dress like the others to fit in?" Vash gestured to the people around them. They were all wearing cloaks of some kind. Ed shrugged.
"Sure… I guess." They walked into a clothing store. Ed almost gagged and Vash did as they entered, it smelled like a cross between strong cigars and powerful perfume. Ed grumbled something about it smelling like a whore house and Vash laughed.
"May I help you?" A beautiful woman walked out from the back room in a tight black dress that was low cut, showing off deep cleavage. Both men's faces burned so much blood spurted from their noses. Her narrow almond eyes were outlined with deep black liner, her black hair swept up in a pony tail.
"Sure you can…" Ed said dreamily and Vash poked him to make him stop. "I mean… we could use a pair of cloaks."
"I thought so, you don't look like you're from around here."
"No we're… visitors." Ed replied quickly. She chuckled softly and nodded.
"Give me a color and I can make it for you."
"R-"
"Make them black, black on the outside and red on the inside." He told her and looked at Ed as she walked back.
"What?"
"They need to be reversible… don't ask why, I just have a feeling we're going to want them to be reversible."
"I hope your feeling it right." Ed grumbled and pulled his black jacket off as Vash pulled his red jacket off, exposing his leather suit. The woman walked back out a few minutes later with two long black and red cloaks. Ed slipped it on, finding that it was amazingly light and cool. Vash slipped it over his head, the large collar up to his chin. He rested his hand on the hilt of his gun lightly then looked at the woman.
"How much do these cost?" She looked at them as he asked.
"240K, together."
"That's not all that bad." He paid her and she thanked him then whispered something to both of them.
"Get out of town as soon as you can." She murmured and walked back into the back room.
"That was strange." Ed looked up at Vash curiously who shrugged. Suddenly an alarm sounded as they walked out and everyone in the town spilled out into the street and lined up shoulder to shoulder. Ed and Vash looked at each other seriously and nodded, getting into line.
