Chapter eight
She turned and ran out the door.
Vash looked towards Wolfwood, "why did you do that?"
"Why wouldn't I", he went to his room leaving Vash angry at him.
Maria walked in the middle of the dessert alone.
You could tell she had been crying. Her eyes were red and blistered underneath her eyes.
She felt faint and fell over weak.
When Maria woke up she was laying in a bed. She looked around to study her surroundings; the room was all black even the walls and bed sheets. It seemed so familiar to her.
She looked towards the door hearing some one come in, "Legato," she said sitting up seeing him.
He smiled at her slightly, "you are finally up, I see".
She nodded her head, "I guess you had found me".
"I did", he walked over to the bed and sat down next to her, "how are you feeling?"
"It's been so long since we've seen each other", Maria said quietly.
"I was begging to worry about you".
"As if you care".
Legato looked at her irritated, "I do and you know it".
Maria looked away from him, "don't lie".
Legato growled and pushed her up against the head board kissing her.
She pushed him away with a surprised look on her face.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing", she said.
"You have feeling for him?"
"No, I care nothing for that jerk."
She lay back on the pillow, "I'm sorry I left".
"I didn't really want to have you around when there was danger around here".
"It would have saved me the pain."
Legato looked away with a guilty look, "How are you feeling?"
"Exhausted"
"Why don't you rest, I'll be back later".
"No, please stay".
He studied her for a while and than took his coat of and lay down next to her, "Why did you ran away from them or us is more like it?"
"Running from the two of you was a mistake and running to Vash and Wolfwood was even more of a mistake".
"You wouldn't say that if you didn't have feelings for one of them".
"That's not true."
"Sure"
"Leave me alone about that", Maria said almost yelling.
"Fine"
She rolled her eyes and turned to him, "I'm going to sleep, promise me when I wake up you will be around".
Legato smiled, "I promise".
