CHAPTER SIX: SECRETS KEPT FROM YOU

disclamer:I do not own trigun!

Maria walked down the dark dirt road dripping wet from the rain. It was late and everybody in the town was asleep and quit except for the bar.

She had tears rolling down her face and she felt faint from anxiety building up. She sat down under a porch of one of the general stores and looked up at the sky, 'what did I do wrong? Why did I have to meet him? This man Vash the Stamped, why do I have to be traveling with Vash the Stamped? And why do I have to be so attached to Nick?'

Back at the hotel

"Wolfwood?" Vash asked turning towards him.

"Yeah?" the priest took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the blond man.

"Aren't you going after her?"

Wolfwood shook his head, "she'll be back. She left her things".

He nodded towards her bag to show Vash and noticed a piece of paper sticking out of a side pocket.

He walked over grabbing it out of Maria's bag and unfolded it.

Vash walked over and looked over his shoulder, "it's a poem".

I keep secrets from you.

I know I shouldn't,

But I do.

I laugh in the back of my mind, taunting.

Ha, I got something I wont tell,

But I feel it pulling at my conscious,

Wanting me to let you know.

That I'm a cold-blooded killer, that I have no peace for you.

Baby don't you want me to take you to hell,

To visit a place you should be rotting in?

I should have never went with you,

I should have never got attached.

And oh how my heart aches for you,

And my body burns for you.

But this is something you'll never have,

Something reserved for my future plans.

Another cliffhanger!
