Billy was bullet ridden and managed to pray to God before he died against the back of his gun. Mako helped Usagi bandage Quatre and Usagi kept watch over him. She sighed and silently ran her fingers over Quatre's hands and face. "Please don't die on me." During the time they stayed in the town, Duo and Mako got married. Something would disrupt their happiness besides Quatre's comatose state. The group had found Billy dead and had him buried. Treiz saw Duo near the post office.
"Duo Maxwell I finally catch up to you." Treiz announced gravely.
Duo jumped. "Oh it's you."
Triez nodded. "You were fool enough to think I wouldn't catch up to you. I told you that you'd pay for killing Unne."
Duo frowned. "I don't think so, it's not right to kill an innocent man."
Treiz laughed. "Innocent my "
Duo grabbed the nearest car and drove for his life.
"Sorry baby I'll be back later I promise." Duo apologized to Mako.
Treiz grabbed his keys. "And so it begins." Treiz smirked.
Mako helped Usagi keep a vigil over Quatre.
"I think we should change his bandages." Mako suggested.
Usagi nodded numbly. "Mako, what if he doesn't wake up?" Usagi let her concern show.
Mako smiled encouragingly. "He will, I know he will." Usagi smiled softly.
Quatre tossed and turned; his worst memories flooded his mind. Rehm's death, shooting his brother, the destruction of the city, all these memories flooded him. He woke up in a cold clammy sweat. "Nani? Where am I?" He saw the bandages on his chest along with his many scars. He held his head as Usagi walked in the door. He stared at her; she's so pretty, he thought. He knew she'd been helping him this whole time. He loved her; he couldn't help it he just did. Usagi turned to him in surprise. "You're awake, you've been in a coma for two weeks."
Quatre looked surprised. "Nani, what happened? I can't remember."
Usagi shivered at the memory. "You need to get your strength back, I made some soup." (Warning this is different from what happened in the series I think Meryl should have acted differently toward poor Vash, and yeah I left out where Vash and Wolfwood talk, but hey it's my fic)
Quatre sat upright. "I remember what happened I remember everything."
Usagi silently closed the door. That's until she heard Quatre's gut wrenching sobs. She opened the door and silently sat on the bed. She let him cry openly in her arms, she held him tightly trying not to cry herself.
Treiz chased Duo to the end of a cliff.
"End of line god of death." Treiz savored these words. Duo closed his eyes, and he saw Mako's smiling face and then the tears in her eyes.
"There's no way you're killing me today." Duo said in a determined voice. Duo gave Treiz a roundhouse punch and an uppercut. Triez's gun was knocked out of his hand and slid down a small crevasse.
"How could you be so nonchalant about killing a whole platoon!" Treiz roared.
Duo ducked a mean right hook. "Because you moron I didn't kill them! You think I have the kind of power to disintegrate and entire city!"
Treiz let his foot slip and he hung an inch away from sudden death.
"Give me your hand I'll pull you up!" Duo called in alarm.
Triez shook his head but silently used his radio. "Duo Maxwell your name has been cleared, I should have known one man didn't have the power to do that much destruction, not one that's merely human anyway. I want to go to Unne know. Sayonara" With that Triez let go to fall into the sharp rocks below. Duo sighed. Slowly Quatre healed over Usagi's hawk eye. Mako discovered she was pregnant but still found ways to work. Usagi had given up on sending paperwork. She caught Quatre outside stroking the black neko.
"I can't stay long, I have some unfinished business." Quatre told Usagi.( Note not like the series either.)
Usagi looked surprised. " Itsu? Dooshite?"
Quatre placed the neko down. "I have to stop Knives before anyone else gets hurt, especially anata." He grabbed her hand for a moment and Usagi blushed. "Datte, you can stay with us."
Quatre smiled. "Gomen-ne this is something I have to by myself." The lighting crashed outside the hotel, it had been two months and Quatre was dressed to the teeth in his usual attire. Mako held her newborn daughter Mei. A man cocked a gun at Quatre, his pistol slipped and the man hit the floor. This man was another bounty hunter after Quatre. Duo looked at the scene. "Quatre you couldn't help it, it was an accident." Duo tried to console the grief-stricken Quatre. Quatre cried silently as Mei cried. "
I'm nothing but a murderer!" Quatre sobbed in anguish. Duo tried to comfort his friend but Quatre shook his head. Duo walked into the hotel to search for Mako.
Usagi ran up to Quatre "You really are leaving aren't you?" Quatre looked at her "Hai take care of yourselves." He started to walk away when Usagi finally decided to shout
"Aishiteru Quatre!" Quatre smiled, so she did love him. He called softly back "Aishiteru Usa-ko." As he walked into the night tears streamed down the girl's face. Mako walked out along with Duo "I finally told him." Usagi cried tearily. Mako sighed, "He'll come back." The ticket to the future is blank and some people say life is merely a dream. Quatre did face his brother Knives, and finally put to rest the teachings of his first mentor Rehm. He fought for love and peace, for humanity and life itself. Mako remained in the town with Duo and her daughter. Usagi swore to wait for Quatre no matter what it took, and both decided the Wong Insurance Company was too much for them to handle. As Usagi started at the sunrise she thought of a certain man in red as Mako slowly rocked Mei to sleep. O Mor henion i dhu Ely siriar el sila. Ai Aniron Evanstar. Tiro el eria e mor. I lir en la lutha uren Ai! Aniron Aniron love.
Post Notes from Mako-chan: Konban-wa again! Like I said this fic does not correspond precisely with the Trigun timeline! I hated a few things in the series so I changed it. Hey it's my fic so I can do what I want Evil laughter I do not own Trigun ( I wish I'd put Vash and Meryl together) or Gundam Wing or Cowboy Bebop, Inuyasha, CCS, or Kingdom Hearts! I only write cause I'm an obsessed otaku! Well hope you enjoyed it and arigato! And for those that are elvish impaired the song at the end is Arwen and Aragorn's theme from Fellowship of the ring it translates as such: From darkness I understand the night: dreams flow a star shines. Ah! I desire Evanstar! Look! A star rises out of the darkness. The song of the star enchants my heart. Ah! I desire.. I do not own Aniron from Lord of the Rings I'm just obsessed with elvish ha ha Thanks for reading! Again, I own nothing, all characters are property of their respective owners.
