Chapter Seven: Loud Nights and Singing Cyborgs
Keori fell back onto her bed, and then blew her hair out of her eyes while staring at the ceiling. With a loud sigh, she rolled onto her belly and began poking the floor as her mind began to wonder.
"I just had to go on rampage when I got here, didn't I? Now look at this mess I'm in!!"
"You were angry, that's all it was," a voice spoke out into her room. The cat woman immediately rolled off the bed snatched her pistol from under it, then landed in a kneeling position, glaring at the being. Her eyes then widened in shock before softening, realizing that it was Vash.
"I'm so sorry, lover!"
"It's alright, Keo-Chan. You've been through a lot."
"But all this trouble has put a price on my head and bounty hunters on my back!"
"Sounds a lot like me. Well, Keo, how about you go take a bath? I'm sure that'll relax your nerves and get this whole thing off your chest!" Keori smiled, and then kissed his cheek before heading out of her room for the bathroom.
"Vashie, you're so smart! What would I do without you?" Once she was out of sight, a sly, perverted grin spread across the plant's face as he turned his head, watching his woman leave.
"Now I can get a peek or two of that body those bounty hunters want so much!" He rubbed his hands together, and then ran off to get some rope while laughing crazily.
Vash tightened the rope around his waist, put his index finger in his mouth, and then held it up in the air.
"Hmm. Wind favorable. Rope secure and firm around the waist. Bounty Hunters?" He took a moment to look around: "Spooks? Nope! Now it's time to get a sneak preview of my sweet, little doughnut!" With that, the blonde hopped off the building, laughing like the nut he was. Once he was a few feet pass the window of the bathroom, he hung upside-down for a bit before climbing up the rope quickly like a spider. He then yelped when he saw Keori wearing a towel, holding her pistol to his head.
"Vash, what the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Erm. checking for spooks and body, er, bounty hunters?"
"Is that so?" The plant swallowed hard and nodded slowly, watching his girlfriend pace back and forth. He then almost lost his grip when she leaned towards him, waving her tail around lazily. Now the blonde was trying to make the effort of forcing the lump in his throat down as he tried to speak, his eyes drifting from Keori's to her cleavage. To her eyes. back to the cleavage. Eyes.Cleavage. Now they were just zoned in on the cleavage.
"Vash, what are you staring at, hm?"
"N-nothing! I, er, was. Yeah!" he replied nervously, trying to force his eyes shut.
"It's not good to lie." The woman then pulled his face to hers and kissed him softly (Like in Spider-Man! XD). Vash returned the kiss gently as he fumbled with the rope around his waist. He broke away from the kiss, untied it, and then swung himself into the bathroom, taking Keori into his arms. The cat woman looked up at him, and then slowly began to unbutton his shirt as he made his way to the bedroom. She immediately stopped when she caught sight of the scars on his chest and abdomen, pulling her hands away, which caused Vash to stop in his tracks.
"Keo-Chan?"
"Those. those scars."
"I've had them for years, along with the ones that have added on over the past year or two. However" he told her before smiling softly as he turned the doorknob to the room, "I want you to heal those scars. and mark me with your love."
"If you insist, Vashie." Keori wrapped her arms around the plant's neck as she kissed him deeply, causing him to smile against her lips. With that, he made his way into the bedroom with her before kicking the door shut.
Knives flipped through a gun magazine boredly until he heard an odd sound, causing him to place the item down. Millie, who was sitting across from him, blinked as she watched him walk around the room aimlessly while staring at the ceiling.
"Mr. Knives?"
"Squeaking."
"Huh?"
"Yes. something's squeaking."
"What is-"
"Shhh." He closed his eyes for a brief moment to let his enhanced hearing try and help him figure out what that sound might be coming from. He continued pacing until his eyes snapped open, causing him to stop dead in his tracks, his jaw immediately dropping. Millie tilted her head to the side and blinked as she looked at him.
"Mr. Knives?"
"I. Oh my God."
"What? What is it?" A large grin spread on his face as he scratched the hairs on his chin.
"The squeaking just happens to be. my brother's bed."
"But he could always be twisting and turning in his sleep, Mr. Knives."
"I wouldn't think so. I don't think there'd be moans coming from the room if he were 'twisting and turning", my dear Millie." The brunette covered her mouth as her eyes widened, causing the plant to laugh loudly.
"Looks like Vash is no longer a mama's boy!"
About an hour or two later, Meryl entered the house from work and flopped down in the recliner that was located in the living room. She arched an eyebrow, being that Knives was looking at her with a huge, cheesy grin on her face, then snatched a magazine off the coffee table before reading it.
"What are you so happy about, hm?"
"It's not that I'm happy, darling," he whispered softly, pulling the magazine from her and cupping her chin in his hand, "It's more along the lines of being amused."
"Don't call me 'darling'," the woman snapped at him, jerking her head away, "And amused by what?"
Knives closed his eyes tight, chuckling lowly, then began laughing loudly, causing Meryl to blink. The insurance girl arched an eyebrow and scowled before looking around.
"Oh God. You killed Vash, didn't you?!?"
"If I did, I'd be deactivated."
"Okay, then where is he?"
"Why, he's in his room!"
"Okay." The woman rubbed her chin as she stared down at her feet, thinking. She immediately snapped her head up and looked at the blonde. "Where's Keori?! Did she escape again?!?"
"No no, my dear."
"Then where the hell is she?"
".Vash's room!
"But she has her own room now! Why would she-"
"Damnit, why are humans so naïve?! Don't you get it? Vash and Keori are in the SAME room! Do you need another hint? Lemme think. they LOVE each other!"
"You mean. they actually did it?"
"Yes! Oh yes! And they're STILL doing it! Wait. No, never mind it's over now."
"You pervert. And you're amused by this?"
"Oh c'mon, this is VASH we're talking about! V-A-S-H!! My dim-witted brother is actually having sex-And before ME!!!" Meryl rolled her eyes as she stood to her feet and headed for the kitchen, pushing past Knives. The plant smirked, grabbed her arm, pulled her to him, and then pinned her against the wall. The human glared at the blonde, causing him to chuckle lightly while shaking his head.
"Knives, damnit, let me go! I'm tired and I need to relax! I have no time to listen to your perverted complaints!"
"Don't be so harsh, Meryl," he whispered, pulling away one hand and resting it on her thigh. "I bet you wish that was you in that bed."
"WHAT?! Me and Vash?! Noooo!!"
"Of course not him! I mean, that could be you and me in bed right now having a good, ol' dandy time!"
"That's disgusting! Knives, I am NOT sexually attracted to you."
"Ah ha! But you're STILL attracted to me, aren't you? Yes, I am quite the looker, I must admit."
"Get over yourself! I didn't-"
"Sexy, irresistible, handsome, extremely attractive. Cuddly? Yes, I think I might be cuddly."
"Knives, I'm warning you. You'd better not-"
"CUDDLE ME!!!" Meryl screamed, slipped out of his grasp, then began running, causing the plant to chase her. "You know you want me!"
"I want NOTHING to do with you!!!"
"Oh c'mon, Meryl!" The cyborg smirked, and then launched himself at her, laughing like the maniac that he was. The insurance woman screeched when he landed on top of her, getting pinned to the floor this time.
"You bastard, you're worse than your brother and his perverted ways!"
"Really? I'm glad you think so," Knives laughed as he lowered his face to hers, their noses almost touching, "Now. Have I earned myself a kiss?"
"No! Get the hell off me!!"
"Oh c'mon, please? Just ooooone little eensy, wheensy kiss?"
"Hmph, maybe on the cheek."
"Damnit, I can kiss my own cheek! Now I shall help myself to a kiss!" The plant laughed crazily and leaned closer to the struggling woman, about to kiss her He only managed to brush his lips lightly against hers until he felt a cold, metal barrel against his bare back-the stun gun and Millie.
"Mr. Knives," the brunette muttered in a slightly agitated tone. The cyborg groaned, rolled off of the shorthaired woman, and then plopped down on his rump, looking at the tall woman in yellow pjs.
"You women are impossible! Are all female humans like this?" he asked, slowly standing to his feet. Meryl sat up and glared at him with her arms folded over her chest.
"And what if I said yes?"
"Then I'd have to say. I like 'em feisty!" Knives laughed insanely, then ran off to his room yelling, "Feisty, baby, FEISTY!!!"
Meryl and Millie looked at each other, then laughed nervously as they both sweat dropped.
"Meryl, what'll we ever do with that man?"
"He's a plant and who knows? He's such a damn perverted, crazy person. Who knows what to do?"
Vash opened his eyes partially, and then yawned before blinking as he felt something warm against him. He immediately looked down to see that Keori was fast asleep in his arms. The plant almost smiled until he realized one itty, bitty fact-they were BOTH naked!
"Did I? Did we? What's wrong with my head? Why can't I remember?" he asked himself in whisper, running a hand through his messy hair, The blonde closed his eyes for a few seconds, then could only smile and blush as he was slowly reminded of what they had done that night.
"So. I got a 'taste' of my little doughnut. Sweet! I got laid before Knives did!" Vash laughed softly to himself, and then kissed the top of Keori's head. "I hope you enjoyed every minute of our love making, Keo- Chan."
Keori fell back onto her bed, and then blew her hair out of her eyes while staring at the ceiling. With a loud sigh, she rolled onto her belly and began poking the floor as her mind began to wonder.
"I just had to go on rampage when I got here, didn't I? Now look at this mess I'm in!!"
