Love And Peace Tournament!

Chapter Three: Un-Invited Guest

Written by: Treina

Everyone gathered around the famous man is the red coat who...who could forget, saved them from the evil hands of Legato. They cheered him on and young girls blushed at the sight of him. Vash couldnt help but take this opportunity to his advantage and began flashing poses to the crowd

A wave of screamed filled the air and Meryl couldn't help bug get frustrated, she knew what was coming, it was inevitable, like a raging sand storm headed strait for a town. She began to feel faint and Milly, who stood beside her began to get worried, "anou...sempai, are you okay?"

"Love and peace!" Vash flashed his peace sign to the crowd and even more cheers arose.
"Don't these people know who this man is?" Meryl whispered to Milly and a man behind her intruded.
"He is a wonderful man, he saved this village from the evil that reined here for decades, they were a brutal family. This man is truly from heaven," the man spoke in absolute tone, noting that everything was indeed fact.
"Heaven...?" Now Meryl was really going to loose it, this man carried nothing but trouble wherever he went, one this was for sure, Vash is no angel.
"Love and Peace!" The blond continued in the background until he stopped abruptly, seeing something in the crowd, he frowned.

Wolfwood saw that he was noticed, he saluted Vash with one finger and winked, half grinning.
Vash looked away and tried his hardest to ignore the so called priest. He began to give instructions for the first event.
"Our first event is the Toss a Drag a Ball"
"What?" Even Meryl was confused.

Vash pulled out a huge box filled to the brim with balls.
"Everyone who wishes to participate in this event needs to find two people who also wish to participate, thus forming a small team. Then, everyone needs to line up over there!" He pointed to the middle of the square.
Everyone began to look around and choose their partners.
Wolfwood decided he would make it simple and choose the person standing next to him. He looked over and noticed it was a little girl, about eight years old.
"Oi," the priest patted the girl on the shoulder, "wanna team up"
The little girl blushed and looked around before pointing to herself, "me"
"Yeah..." He could only pray this kid wouldn't be a pain.
She smiled and took hold of his hand before looking around for Vash, who was their third member.
"Are you a priest?" The small girl asked, noticing the large cross which sat on his back.
"Yeah...something like that." Damn it! Where is Vash?

Just then he spotted red, "there he is"
He turned to the young girl, "we're going to run, okay"
She nodded before he took off, pushing everyone out of the way with her in hand.

Wolfwood pushed through the last of the people, "yo pinhead"
Vash shot his head toward the priest but noticed the young girl who was still holding onto Wolfwood's hand.
"Who is this young lady?" Vash was instantly directly in front of her.
"Umm...my name is Nima..." She answered, this was that guy who is in front of everyone giving the speech or whatever it was.
Vash took hold of her other hand and kissed it, "im pleased to make your acquaintance-" Wolfwood smacked him.
"She's only eight," the priest informed.
Meryl was about to rip the blonde's head off, if it wasn't for the priest's next words.

Wolfwood turned to the child, "this is our third member"
Meryl put her hand up, "you are mistaken, he is already in a team"
"No," Wolfwood countered, "we were first in claiming him," she grabbed the blonde's arm and ran off, leaving Milly and Meryl completely stunned.

Wolfwood dragged Vash up onto the (home-made) stage that the blond had set up that morning.
"So inform everyone what we are supposed to do in this stupid game of yours"
"It's not a game, its an event...Does everyone have their partners?" He asked the crowd in a loud voice.
Most people cheered.

Meryl crossed her arms, "oh well, looks like we cant participate"
But a boy, no older than ten years old walked up to her, "Oi, baa-chan! You need a partner"
Meryl turned her head slowly, "baa-chan?" She asked, daring him to repeat it.
"Oh look!" Milly cheered, "we've found out third member! We can participate now!"
