[A/N:: Hello! This is my first fanfiction and well, I hope you enjoy it and please R&R if you have the time! Just so you know, it would probably help if you have seen all the episodes or at least the last one because this has a bit of spoilers.]
DISCLAIMER: Fate has chosen that I don't own Trigun, fate is cruel.

'Thought goes here' - it can also be Wolfwood...
"Talking goes here"
On going line: scene change =D

SORRY FOR THE DELAY - Because my computer crashed and I lost ALL of my files, including fan art, documents and my stories... my first chapter 5 got lost in the internet void... never to return. I'm really sorry this chapter is so late. Thankfully the computer is faster now, hopefully I will be, too!
Here are some replies to awesome reviews I got:

XprepxhaterX, Wow! This was like, the nicest, most inspiring review I've gotten so far. And it really is nice to hear that all the characters are acting the way they should! Thanks for the thoughtful review! And hey, if you need any camping supplies don't hesitate to ask! He he.

Vashluver1, Actually, my friend and I had an argument over the name of the song. Is it eensy weensy, itsy bitsy or teensy weensy? Let me know what you think, ha ha. Hope this chapter fills you with joy! Ho ho ho!

DailyMassacre, Aww, I'm glad you like my story, I hope I never let you down in my chapters! ::burst of flames in background:: Maybe... Knives created that song!! Or not, I just wanted to say that, te he. Hope you like this chapter as much as the rest and thanks for the review!

Koriumaki, Whoa whoa, wait a minute there! Sorry I made this mistake in the sentence in a chapter, but Millie loves Wolfwood NOT Vash. The sentence was supposed to be "Millie still remembered that Meryl loves Vash" Okie Dokie? P.S. yes I am a perv hehe.

Neko-Yuff16, I'm glad you like my story! hugs But, sorry, I can't say any spoilers about what's to come, so you'll have to read to find out what the future holds for WxM

But, since you like WxM, I'll make this chapter around Millie and Wolfwood for you. =)

The Story Teller of All, Nifty username! Thanks for calling me talented, I'll bet you're talented too! I'll be sure to read your fanfiction when you post it on the site! =)

P.S. Hey guys, if you have a thing for RperQueen and my work, see our crossover author story (one-shot) "Smile for Me Again" We were rping, and she made it into a fanfiction! It's very good! Go read!

Chapter 5 Thoughts of Reason

In the small down, not one creature stirred. Even as the two men, Vash and Knives, stepped out the door their footsteps seemed to echo throughout the "ghost town". It was as if time had stopped for the two plants.

As they left, Meryl stepped into the house, humming a joyful tune. Meryl stopped noticing the sniffles in the middle of her song. She looked to the direction of where the muffled sobs came from; Millie's room.

Meryl's smile curved downward. She prayed to god that Millie wasn't really crying and that her mind was just fooling her, because she knew she was never known for comforting.

She slowly made her way near the door and poked her head through the opening. She saw Millie with her face buried into the cross punisher. Meryl's heart sank "Millie..."

Millie's head snapped up. She looked at Meryl, her face full of shock "O-oh! Sempai why are you home so early? I thought you had work today" Meryl could tell that Millie was making a desperate attempt to hide that she was crying, because Millie had franticly wiped her face clean of tears with her face still blotchy and her hands were waving all over the place.

"Millie... you were thinking about Wolfwood weren't you..." Meryl kneeled down at Millie's side "Millie why didn't you say anything if you were in such pain?" She gave Millie a dishearten look.

Meryl found it heard to look at Millie, she was so sick of seeing both Vash and Millie keep in so much pain and then watching all of it cave in last minute.

Millie looked away with guilt on her face "I just thought... you had enough on you're plate to worry about and... this would be even more on your plate than you already have..."

Meryl put her hand on Millie's shoulder, looking straight into her eyes and smiled "There's more than enough room on my plate for my best friend"

Millie smiled back 'Best friend... I've never heard her ever say that to me before' Millie opened up a bit more to Meryl "I... miss Wolfwood"

Meryl gave a sigh as she smiled 'Well at least now we're getting somewhere'

She looked at Millie, her eyes full of guilt 'I should've thought so...'

"I-I waited for him to come back..." She choked as tears streamed down her face "But he never returned" She put her hands over her face, letting her sobs be muffled "I wanted to be there with him to the very end, but all I could do was sit there in the house and wait"

Meryl felt herself regretting about bringing on the question, but found herself bringing out words in response to what Millie said "He passed away in the altar... I'm sure he died the way he always wanted to..."

Wolfwood gazed down at his love, who was embracing his cross punisher "I died... lift free from the mercy..."

"But how do I live without him?" She said through sobs.

Meryl took a moment to consider "I'm sure Wolfwood would want you to live on, that's why he wanted you to stay in the house rather then to go out there and get killed."

Wolfwood nodded "Exactly" He smiled, wishing more than anything he would embrace Millie like he used to be able to do.

Millie wiped her eyes on the sleeve of her shirt, as tears still rolled down her cheeks "I just hope wherever he is, he's up there waiting for me" She smiled, despite her red eyes and soaked cheeks, for the first time, in the longest time, she actually truly smiled.

"I've been waiting since the day I died and I always will be waiting for you honey" Wolfwood whispered and then started to cry, but instead of weak tears, they were strong, just like Millie's smile.

That day, the altar where a priest passed away, sung with the remembrance of Nicholas D. Wolfwood.

Meryl sat at the kitchen table sipping coffee with Millie when she heard something light fall to the floor near the door. Meryl looked at the mail slot, where letters were falling through "Mails here" she said tonelessly.

Meryl picked up the letters and flipped through them "Most of this is just junk... I guess we-" She stopped sharp when she saw a letter from The Bernadelli Insurance Company.

Millie quickly shot up from her seat when she heard Meryl's cup smash on the floor "Sempai? What is it? Sempai? Sempai?!"

To be continued...
