*********************** The $60,000,000,000 Rose *********************** Chapter 3: Water Trouble-Part 2
"Wha the hel-? Oh, you mean Piro. She's my baby." Saria turned her head slightly and kissed Pirotess on the head. She turned back to Vash. "Now, answer my question."
"Question?"
"Where's the lady WE are supposed to protect?"
"Oh. Well, she went up to her room to rest. She said she was tired."
"Why didn't you answer my question when I asked it?"
"Uh.."
"Whatever. So, you wanna go get dinner or something?"
"Dinner sounds wonderful!" Vash said, grinning.
******* As they ate, they talked.
"So," Vash said, swallowing a large bit of food. "where'd you get her?"
Saria looked up from teasing Pirotess with a piece of chicken. "Her?"
Vash pointed to Piro.
"My sister."
"You have a sister?"
"Correction. HAD a sister."
"Had?"
"She's dead." Saria said stiffly.
Vash looked sorrowful. "Gee, I'm sorry."
"That's okay. It's not your fault she died. She chose to end her own life."
"She what?!"
"Nothing."
A few tense moments passed, and Saria stood up abruptly. "Excuse me. I'm going to go take a bath." She picked up Pirotess, putting the ferret on her shoulder. She stalked out of the room.
*** Saria slammed her door shut. She set Pirotess on the dresser that stood against the wall. 'Why am I so angry?' Saria asked herself mentally as she stripped off the few clothes she had on. She stomped over to the tub that resided near the middle of her room. She turned on the water, running the cool water over her slender fingers. 'I should apologize to him later. I was rude.' Turning off the water, she knelt near the tub and untied the slender black ribbon that held her braid together. Her hair, finally free of its confinement, floated around her, touching the floor. Saria then got up and rustled through her rucksack, pulling out the sleeveless, low-cut black silk shirt.
'I guess this'll do as a nightshirt.' She walked over to the tub, set the shirt next to it, and gingerly climbed in. She relaxed, letting the cool water flow over her body. She dunked her head under the water, rinsing her hair.
Lying back, she finger-combed through her wet hair as she tried to remember what else happened in this episode. 'Man! What happened in this episode.wait.Didn't Vash peek in on that girl? What if he.naw, he wouldn't.' Saria deliberately avoided looking at the window. But after a few moments.she couldn't stop herself. She looked towards the window.
She froze. There he was, right outside her window! But, it appeared his coat was giving him problems; he couldn't get it out of the way. Saria hissed angrily. She rose, soaking wet, and hurriedly put on her black silk shirt, not noticing that the shirt got soaked, clinging to her body like a second skin. She carefully tiptoed to the window, grabbing a table lamp as she passed.
Saria slowly opened the window, and asked in a falsely cheerful voice, "Need some help, Vash?"
Vash froze as she spoke: then it clicked. "I'm in trouble."
"Yes, you perverted little bastard, you are in BIG trouble. And you know what? I'M GOING TO F*CKING KILL YOU, YOU PERVERTED FREAK!" She screamed the last part as she grabbed his arm and threw him into the room. She then proceeded to bash him in the head with the lamp over and over and over, each time hearing an 'ouch' from Vash.
After a few minutes she stopped, but only then because her arm was getting tired. Saria looked the lamp; the lamp was doomed. It would never light up a room again. Poor lamp. She looked down at the unconscious and beaten form of Vash lying on the floor. Saria had an inner urge to dance on his back and laugh manically. Well, she couldn't just leave him there on the floor, however much she wanted to.
She dragged the pulverized Vash, who at the moment was probably suffering from internal bleeding, to the bed and somehow managed to put him on it. She also managed to pull off his boots and his red coat. She flung them across the room, and sat down next to him on the bed.
Looking at his face, she resisted the sudden urge to run her hand along the side of his face. 'He looks so angelic.he's handsome.when he's asleep anyway.' Sighing, she grabbed the clothes she had been wearing before, the cream-colored sweater and dark gray cargo pants, washed them and laid them across the floor on top of a towel. She also put on the bottom half of her bikini. She sure as hell wasn't going to run around in nothing but a shirt that barely covered her ass.
Saria looked back at Vash. He was sleeping. She walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. 'Man, why can't this doofus be this peaceful when he's awake?' "Whatta idiot." She muttered under her breath. 'He should wake up soon.I think.'
Suddenly, Vash's arm shot out and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her down. Saria suppressed a scream of surprise. He snuggled up against her, his arm draped across her waist. He was snoring slightly, showing he was still asleep.
Saria was barely breathing. 'Is he really asleep?' She tried to get up, but his arm held her firmly down, and as if in response to her trying to get up, he pulled her closer, her back touching his chest. Vash sighed in his sleep. Saria stiffened. Then smiled. Evilly.
She curled up, snuggling up against Vash's chest, and giggled. Saria felt a shiver go through Vash; he obviously liked the closeness. She somehow managed to turn in his hold. "Vaaash..I know your awake..and if you don't let me go." She said silkily, putting her hand lightly on his cheek. "You will die the slowest, most painful death I can think of. YOU F*CKING HEAR ME????" She slapped his face.
His grip loosened and she bolted off the bed. Sitting up on the bed, he put his hand to his face, holding it to the growing red mark on his cheek, and giving her a sappy look.
"Aww, poor wittle Vash. Did I hurt you? Do you want to find out why I was nick-named 'Hell Fox' in high school'?" She laughed manically, her eyes glinting.
"N-n-noo.." He looked a little scared.
Saria grinned coldy, putting her hand on her hip. "Then I suggest you leave the room before I kill you. Violently."
He bolted out of the room, grabbing his coat and boots on the way out. Saria sighed as she shut the door behind him. She giggled, then got dressed in her bikini top and shorts again. She stuffed her things back in her rucksack, even though her other outfit was still slightly damp.
Whistling to Pirotess, she gently put the ferret in the rucksack, and put on her black retro boots. It was almost time for Vash to discover the man with the weird mustache and lady they were supposed to be protecting were missing.
**** About thirty minutes later, on a nearby cliff **** "Well, at least they won't need to buy water anymore." Saria grumbled darkly, ringing out the water in her hair.
She noticed Vash smiled down at her for that. She blushed and turned away.
"The way.you moved.Did you do that on purpose, or was it.just luck?" The woman asked him.
Vash gave a small laugh and scratched the back of his neck. "Gee, I don't know. A little of both, I guess."
"If you really meant to do that..I'd really believe you are ash the Stampede."
Vash smiled.
"Vash.."
Vash turned to Saria. "What?"
"The next time you pull a stunt like you did earlier, I'll carve your heart out. With a spoon."

Ever wonder what would happen if Saria was wearing that bikini top of hers in a bar, and somebody fired a gun, and it cut the straps that held the top on, and the top fell off, and Vash saw? So do I.
