I guess i was sleeping in a way. But I felt that the reason this happened to me was because i deserved it. All the shit things I did to people. I mean I am what, nineteen years old. Just graduated and is about to turn twenty and have no life ahead of me. Now I am stuck in fucking Shambala and had my leg chopped because I hate being weak.I'm to proud.
Am I really that bad a person?
I opened my eyes and sat up. I looked around confused at were I was. Then it hit me in a flash. All the past events that happened. My pain semi ceased and I relaxed but knowing I didn't have a leg anymore kindof sucked.
"Oh, your awake." said the Doctor dude. He walked over to my side and stared at my breast for a second then proceeded to asked dumb, assine questions.
"How do you feel?"
"How the fuck do you think I feel? I don't have a fucking leg!" I yelled. You know what he did, he told me to calm down.
"You know what?" i asked quietly and calm.
"What is it?" he replied writing notes on some clipboard.
"DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! LET ME GO!" I roared as the doctor tried to give me a seditive. Suddenly Rin burst through the door. I was so pissed I all I could do was yell and let it all out.
"Damnit Rin, KEEP OFF ME OR I'LL HOP ONE LEGGED AND KICK YOUR ASS!" She backed away into a corner like a small animal. Then I heard laughing and Edward the midget walked in.
"Suddup Midget, this doesn't concern you." I saw his expression change and his face turn red in anger.
"WHO ARE YOU CALLIN' A BEAN SPROUT?" he screamed like a banshe. I felt a pang of guilt but that was quickly overrun my sarcasism and fury.
"You can't be a bean sprout." I saw his face calm a bit. I smirked. I wanted him to calm down because its my job to cause pain to that dude as payback for not letting me sleep.
(FLASH BACK)
"Wow she is kindof cute." I heard edward say and annoyance shot through my poor skull as I tried to sleep.
(end off flash back)
In less then seconds after I saw his face lighten up I snorted, " You're way too short." He started screaming and ranting on about not calling him short and I sound like mus- something. I noticed his anger was taking control of him and he was about to attack me when Rin (of course) jumped in and grabbed him under his arm and say something into his her that made him blush.
"Birds of a feather flock together." I muttered.
"Rin!" Ed yelled in an odd tone.
"Oh just leave her alone." I said like nothing happened.
"You mean like you did." I sat still not moving at all. I felt like something shattered. He was right, that little whinny bastard was right. Because of my pride and not wanting Rin to worry. I almost die and Rin either way got hurt. I sat like that for hours until I heard the door creak and Rins giddy sill self bumbled in. I smiled and saw her goofy grin appear happily on her face.
For some odd reason all I wanted to do was appolgize to her.To say that I was sorry for all the pain I caused her but it wouldn't come out. I just sat there nodding a smiling at the stupid things she said about what happened. I felt a little tired and Rin decided to hop off like a kangaroo. I really don't understand why I am like this. Why I am so sarcastic and cold toward people. I have been this way since my parents death. But she is the only person that i remember having stayed arounded me after I cursed at, punched, and basically put through hell.
I guess she was lonely or just stupid. I do have to admitt she helped me change. I mean, I am still kind of rude and sarcastic but I am who I am. But is that enought to protect her? I mean she is like a sister to me. I would die for her. I would die for Jack too. I miss him. and The one person in the world I would never die for is that fucking shrimp.My ears are still ringing. GRRR...
It was about 1:00 that i decided to sneek out. I felt that I had to get out of there and burn something. I grabbed a firm hand on to the side of the bed and stood up. The vacant spot we my right leg should have been felt odd. My shorts wer only being held up by the alastic waist band. (that always fell down we i wore the with TWO legs.) I readjusted my tank top to were it wasn't spun around my body twice.
I leaned on the table with my coat and rumagged through the various pockets for my lighter, lighter fluid and proceeded to lean andscoot my way out of the room silently. I looked into the living room and saw Rin reading a book. I shook my head and rolled my eyes and walked...well hopped out the house. Gently shutting the door behind me. I have to admitt that hopping on one leg is fun but fucking annoying. After about twenty minutes of hopping I reached the woods unnoticed.
It was easier to travel through the trees because I could lean on them.I was getting tired when i stummbled in to a small clearing were a large tree was cut down. I sat down and began playing with my lighter. I focused on the burning fire and tried not to think about that fucking midgets words. But how could I not? I did leave her alone.
"What does that shrimp know? What does he know?" I mummbled to no one. Shit, thats what he knows. "DAMNIT!" I screammed standing up violently. As I fell down hard on the cold ground, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Rin was sitting in a pile of dry leaves. I reached out my hand to her.
"Vash, whats wrong?" she asked. I looked up and smiled.
"Nothing, don't worry 'bout it." I stared down at were my leg should be. I felt her hand on my shoulder.
"You okay?" she asked in a worried tone. I shrugged and nodded.I smirked.
"You score with the midget yet?"i said grinning. Her face turned strawberry the a million times redder.
"No, not at all, he hasn't even talked to me since yesterday." she slightly stuttered. I burst out laughing.
"Your...Face...says...different!"I spat in between my hysterical laughing.
"HEY, HE KISSED ME!" she yelled, immediately slapping her hand to her mouth and turning redder, I stopped laughing.
"We should get back before the tincan, bean sprout and barbie get worried." I paused."but first i have to do this before i forget." I tossed some dirt onto the tree stump next to me and made a quick transmutation circle. I placed my hands over the transmutation circle and in a flash of yellow light there rested a guitar.
"There you go, Rin. A USA '70 Stratocaster Fender guitar color #2 lake placid ble with black accessories." Rin's face was priceless. One day as we were walking around New York we walked passed a guitar shop owned by a friend of mine. I noticed she was gawking at the '70 stratocaster. So I went up to my buddy and got a cheap one. My job didn't pay enough to get her that one but it was a fullerton and still made a noise. I acually had saved enough money to buy it for her. I played drums and violin. So I might make a violin but well.
"Jack got the notes and sketches when he started his job at Fender. I had to do this before I forgot." It mad me feel sad when ever I thought of Jack. I missed him. We are only three years apart. But we had our share of fights. He was an asshole and I am a bitch. Now he is simply gone and I'm alone without someone who truly knows my past. But I still have Rin. My baby sister almost.
I stared at Rin getting impaitent as I watched her stare in awe at it.
"Well, dipshit you gonna give 'er a whirl." I said with a smile.
"Tuned?"
"Rin,sigh do I ever half-ass ANYTHING." I said with loads of sarcasim. Believe me I half ass almost everything I do if I don't like it. I even half assed most of my tests and still passed with A's. Shocking, huh? And I wasn't even In class most of the time.
"oh, har ass cough" she replied making me roll my eyes.
"Oh yeah, here." I said pulling out a small ass (as small as ed...grrr) amp about the size a a brick. She took it in her hands and smiled at me. I pulled out a cigarette (don't ask where they were... no where gross) and whipped out my lighter and lit that sucker and in a flash put my lighter away. I worked at a bar, lighter tricks are handy for tips! "I made that with the walkie talkie and a few other random items." I said exhaling the smoke.
Suddenly she grabbed my cigarette and put it out on a tree. " How are you going to get better if you smoke!" She yelled as I stared wide eyed at what she just did. Her face burned with anger (poor cigarette." and I just burst out laughing again. Suddenly out of now where she played a loud F sharp chord and made me jump up.
"Come on Vash, we'd better go"
"Wait," I grasped her shirt to stop her." I feel really tired." After getting up so much I felt so tired. I was hunched over with my hand on mu thigh. ( the left one of course...the only on e I have left!) I heard her sigh. "Fine, I'll help you." she groaned slightly. She stood for a moment then her face went bright and she got on the ground and clapped her hands and made a guitar case. She gentle placed the guitar in it and slung the straps of the case over her shoulder. She crouched down and wrapped her arm around my back and placed her hand below my breast. I tried to stand up but I strated to shake and fell on my ass.
I think the last thing I heard was rin mutter SHIT and I was out. Into the black abyss of a dreamless sleep.
