Love And Peace Tournament!

Chapter One: A Tournament!

Written by: Treina

Vash sat on a bench, in the City of March, happily eating a big bag of fresh doughnuts. But right as he was about to take a bite, he noticed a group of little kids dressed in rags and starving, eyeing his food.

Tears welded up in his eyes and streamed down his face. He got up and slowly walked to the little alleyway where the children sat, hungry and in rags. He sat the bag of doughnuts down and backed away, tears still streaming from his eyes.
"Eat all you want," he said with a sob, moving his hand back and fourth then walked away, depressed.

Milly ran around a little hotel room located in the City of March trying to sort some papers out, while Meryl counted all the money they received from the last month. They were both very very satisfied with it and satisfied with how they were keeping Vash out of trouble.
"Wow sempai! We greatly acceded our goal this month!" Milly said, almost bursting with joy that thing were going so smoothly.
"Yes Milly! We have worked long and hard. We now receive the reward we deserve!" She said with a fist in the air.

The door was slammed open and Vash came walking in the girls room, very depressed, with tears streaming down his face.
"Are you okay?" Milly asked, seeming concerned.
"What did you do now?" Meryl asked, very irritated.
sniff sniff "There were these children..." Vash turned his head to the two girls,
"They were starving and in rags!" He put his face in his hands and began to cry harder.
"Well there is nothing you can really do about it, there will always be poor and starving people," Meryl explained.
"But its not fair!" He whined, and Meryl rolled her eyes.

She went back to her desk and Milly went back to sorting papers, but still felt bad for the kids...and Vash.
Vash finished his sobbing and walked over to the desk to see what Meryl was up to, that when he spotted all that money. He quickly picked up a handful with stars in his eyes.
"Ahhh! Look at this! This is just what we need to help these people!" Vash said, now happier then ever.
"WHAT!" Both Meryl and Milly yelled, "that's our payment for the last MONTH that we've been out here"
"But what about the children?" Vash begged, with puppy dog eyes, tears once again streaming down his face.
"Anou, Sempai...could we just help, this once?" Milly began to beg as well.
"No!" Meryl declared, arms crossed.

Three hours later Meryl and Milly were 'patiently' waiting, Vash was in the other room concocting a plan to help this little town.
"Are you done in there!" Meryl yelled at the closed door, but there came no answer.
"Maybe he needs some time in peace...and quiet." Milly tried to explain.
Meryl turned around giving Milly a 'look' and Milly put up her hands.
"No, I didn't mean that in a bad way hehe...I'm just saying that if its quiet, he might finish faster"
"I don't even think he's in there," Meryl said, turning back to the door.

Just when she was about to try and open the door it opened and Vash popped out with a piece of paper in his hand.
"So what is your great idea to make the city better?" Meryl asked, with sarcasm.
Vash held up the paper so they could see, it was a colorful flyer, "The Love And Peace Festival!" He announced,
"The love and peace festival?" sweat drop

The next day there were flyers posted up all over the town, a lot of people donated to the cause, so they had extra money to work with. The first thing Vash did was buy new clothes and feed the children he found before the festivities would begin. He made sure to post on the flyers "EVERYTHING FREE FOR CHILDREN." He was so happy he didn't know what to do, it had been a long time since he was this truly happy.

The festival was tomorrow and everyone in the village was greatly anticipating the games and fun, especially the children, it would be the first celebration for the City of March. Even though it was on such late notice everyone decided they were going to participate and bring their kids. Some people visiting the city noticed the flyers and decided to stay a few extra days.

One person, sitting in a bar, eating his lunch overheard some of the chatter that was going on in the place,
"Yeah! They say the guy who came up with the idea is doing it all for the homeless kids"
"Those little thief's? That's kind of hard to believe"
"But its true! I met the guy!" Another guy chimed in.

Wolfwood got up from his seat and left the bar, but on his way out he noticed the flyer, 'Love And Peace Tournament and Festival! EVERYTHING FREE FOR CHILDREN'
"Love and Peace Tournament huh Vash?" He said to no one, taking another drag of his cigarette.
