Chapter 6: Low Guard
Knives sat up in bed scratching his chest as he looked around. He swung one foot out of bed, then the other before standing out and walking out of his room. The blonde ran a hand through his hair as he yawned loudly, walking down the stairs. He stopped immediately in his tracks when he heard glass break in the kitchen and the sound of a woman screaming.
"Holy shit." Knives immediately ran into the kitchen to see that the door was now lying on the floor, the stove was on and Keori's baby blue bunny slipper lying there. "They took her!!! Damn it, this is getting anything-I'm getting tired of playing hero!!"
Vash groaned softly as covered his head with his pillow, hearing banging on his closed bedroom door. He finally sat up, letting out a soft sigh before walking over to the door and opening it. Standing before him was Meryl, Millie and Knives, who were all in their pajamas, causing him to arch an eyebrow and grin.
"Are we having a pajama party?" he asked sarcastically before looking around. "Hey, where's Keo-chan?"
"Vash." Knives began before Meryl ever so nicely cut him off. "Keori's been kidnapped."
"For the love of God, please no." the Humanoid Typhoon whispered loudly to himself, his eyes widening in horror, "Who the hell took her?!"
"My, my brother. Awfully angry aren't we?" Knives chuckled before getting his throat grabbed by his twin. Vash glared into his eyes and growled lowly, narrowing his eyes.
"This is no damn laughing matter, Knives. Now who the hell took my woman?"
"Mighty aggressive over one, measly woman." The gold blonde got ready to punch his brother until Millie cleared her throat loudly, immediately catching everyone's attention. She rubbed her eye sleepily as she yawned, holding up a note before looking at them all.
"This was in the yard."
"What's it say, Millie? We haven't got all day!" Meryl stated, looking up at her partner. The brunette laughed sheepishly, then turned her attention to the note before reading it aloud:
"'Dear Humanoid Typhoon,
Hello, it's been a long time, hasn't it? This is Descartes and Ruth, you blonde idiot! We've decided to take your little lady back to jail for that reward money! She's not as much as you but hey--$$ 1, 000, 000, 000 can take you a long way, especially where Ruth and me are! Anyway, you're free to try and find us but we'll have the reward money by then!'" Vash let go of his brother, took the note from Millie, and then scanned over it before crumbling it into a ball.
"Let's go. I want my girl back.NOW!"
The Humanoid Typhoon drove along the sandy hills of Gunsmoke in his white, long sleeve shirt, brown pants, suspenders and boots, along with his trademark yellow shades. Meryl folded her arms over her chest, still wearing her pajamas while Millie had on a pink tank top, denim pants and pink flip-flops. Knives stood up, wearing only a pair of black denim pants, then narrowed his eyes as he looked around.
"Hit the gas-I see a big headed man with a green Mohawk about. 10 iles away."
"That's Descartes, alright," Meryl stated, placing her hands behind her head. Without saying a word though, Vash stomped his foot on the gas pedal, immediately applying pressure and causing the car to speed up to 80 iles per hour! Knives jerked forward, and then was suddenly forced backwards-he almost fell out of the vehicle but luckily Meryl caught him by his arm and pulled him back in.
"Vash, couldn't you be just a little bit LESS reckless?! You're gonna get us killed if you keep driving like that!!" the shorthaired insurance woman complained, forcing Knives into a seatbelt. The Humanoid Typhoon kept his sights forward, his expression never changing, as he made no effort to speak.
"Please don't get us killed, Mr. Vash." Millie whispered timidly. The plant sighed softly and nodded before speeding up to 85 iles.
Descartes trailed his large fingers along the side of Keori's face, and then growled when she bit down on the fingertips. She then quickly pulled away, turning her head as she scowled.
"Don't touch me."
"Ha ha, you're gonna make me rich, Vashu. If you weren't worth so much, I'd keep you for myself!" He went to touch her face again until she snapped at him, narrowing her eyes.
"I said DON'T touch me and I MEAN IT!!!!" One of the green-haired man's henchmen slapped Keori across the face with his gun, causing her to fall to the floor of the vehicle. The man chuckled as he aimed the barrel of the gun at the woman's head, looking up at Descartes.
"'Ey Boss, the poster said dead or alive."
"Well then Descartes, how about we just kill her without the pleasure?" a smooth voice murmured from the front of the jeep. The large man looked up as the man arose to his feet and stood up, making his way to the back-it was Loose Ruth. Descartes grinned evilly as he rubbed his chin, looking over Keori.
"Sad that such a good-looking woman has to go to waste. but I'll leave you with the pleasure of killing her," he told Loose Ruth, who smirked as he took out his gun before aiming it at the bounty below him.
"Alright then. Pull over." The driver nodded, and then slowed the jeep to a stop as he pulled over near a sandy hill. Ruth lifted his hat out of his eyes, and then shot at the woman, only to be amazed by the fact that she had dodged the bullet. "Well, Descartes, this seems rather impossible."
"Nothing's impossible, Ruth. Hey you three," the large man called out, catching the attention of the driver and his two other henchmen, "Hold her down."
"Okay, Boss." The three men immediately made their way over to Keori; one hold down her legs, another held down her upper body while the other held her head in place. The cat woman snarled, then tried thrashing about but was helpless to the strength of all three men holding her down.
"Well then, this is good bye, isn't it, Vashu?" Descartes cackled, watching as she continued to struggle, "You should've chose pleasure!"
"Tch. I don't see how pleasure would've made anything better." Keori muttered, looking down at the floor before whispering lowly, "Vash. where the hell are you?"
Loose Ruth shook his head, and then held the barrel of his gun to the side of the woman's head. He slowly began to pull the trigger until a sharp pain shot through his hand, causing the weapon to fly out of his hand. "What the?"
"Good question!!" a voice called out. Descartes, Ruth and the three henchmen looked up immediately to see a jeep heading towards them. The henchmen immediately stood to their feet, causing Keori to grin, wrap her legs around Ruth's waist, flipped back, and then head butted him once she was on his chest. Descartes got ready to yell at his men until he was struck in a face by a stunner (what the hell are the things that come out of Millie's gun called?!), causing him to fly out of the jeep and to land on his back.
"What the hell?!" one of the henchmen called out, reaching for his gun. The other two went to go grab their guns, but all three of their hands ended up shot. The jeep that was driving towards them soon pulled over and out jumped Vash, Knives, Millie and, eventually, Meryl (she was driving, allowing for the other three to shoot). The three men looked at one another, then nodded before charging towards the four of them.
"Humans are such foolish creatures." Knives murmured, closing his eyes. He took a step forward, and then slammed his fist into the nearest man's face, causing him to fall on his back, knocked out cold. The man behind him skid to a stop in front of Vash, who then lifted his gun out of its holster and held it to his forehead.
"Ya know, this would've been all fun and games if you hadn't taken my girl."
"Wh-wha? Your girl? Vashu?"
"Well, I dunno. That's a rather dumb question!" The plant aimed his gun at the man's feet, then started shooting, causing the human to hop around, "For your insolence, you can dance for me!"
"Now THIS is my brother, " Knives chuckled, shaking his head as he stroked his chin. Vash grunted, then hit the man upside the head with the butt of his gun before kicking him to the floor, letting out a loud sigh.
"You only like me when I'm aggressive?" The gold blonde blinked, then pointed at one of the henchmen trying to get away. "Look! Someone get him!!"
As soon as he had said that, there were to gunshots and the man fell to the ground. Knives, Vash and Millie blinked, then looked at Meryl, who was holding a Derringer and was blowing the smoke away from her gun. The woman blinked, and then arched an eyebrow, tilting her head to the side.
"What.?"
"Where are you holding those things?!" the trio asked, staring at her deliriously. Meryl folded her arms over her chest, and then closed her eyes with a sigh.
"That's none of your concern." Knives looked over at the woman, a sly grin slowly sliding across his face.
"I'd just looove to find out!" The blue-haired woman growled, then whacked him over the head with her fist, causing him to drop to the ground. Vash laughed, then blinked when he heard rocking from Descartes's jeep.
"Vaaashie! I'm still kinda tied up, ya know!" Keori called out, immediately causing the plant to run over to the vehicle and pick her up. He smiled sheepishly, and then hugged her tight in his arms.
"Sorry, Keo-Chan!" The blonde rested his head on hers as he untied the ropes before wrapping his arms tight around her waist, "I'm gonna keep my eye on you more often now. I don't want to lose you again. Not ever."
