(A/N):OMIGAWD! I completely forgot to mention I DON'T OWN TRIGUN! CRAP! DON'T SUE ME!

(A/N 2)Okay, you might have noticed that this is sort of like a bunch of oneshots, like everything starts fresh at the beginning of each chapter. That's just how I'm gonna write this.

and, (A/N 3) I'm so mad at this! It was like two pages when I wrote it out on paper and now it's gonna be one! TTTT

"Lalalalalalaaa...lalalalalalaa-a..."Legato hummed as he turned on the computer. "Lalaala, lalalalalallaaaaa... Okay, it's on now. Let's see... umm... Ooh! iTunes!" He clicked the icon and watched the window come up... but it was blank!

"Wha'?"

Then, a small, rainbow-colored circle popped up on the screen, and began to spin. The computer began to whir. Legato poked the screen, happily squealing, "Ooh, the spinning beach-ball of doom!"(1) Smiling, he watched the monitor for several minutes. Then, something terrible happened-

"Nooo! It stopped moving!" Legato sprang up from his chair and ran to his master's room, wailing. He burst into the room, sobbing, "It's broken!"

"What is?" Knives asked, confused.

"The computer! I killed it and now it's dead! It's DEAD!" Legato moaned, his topaz-colored eyes overflowing with tears.

"Wait... I thought you LIKED killing stuff...?"

"BUT THIS IS DIIIIIFFERENT! I broke it... broke it... it'sbrokenbrokenboken..."The poor human blubbered hysterically.

"Well, I'm sorry, but what can I do?"

"You can fix it!" Legato cried jubilantly. "Being such an all-powerful life-form as yourself, I'm certain you can..." Legato trailed off, seeing the perplexed look on his master's face. "You can fix it, can't you?"

"Well, I'm sorry, but I can't, I mean, don't, I mean the truth is I don't know how to fix a computer!"

Legato looked crestfallen, as well as slightly incredulous. "You... you can't fix it?"

"Legato," Knives began, "I'm sorry---"

He was cut off by Legato's bursting into tears once more. "Noooooo! How can this be! I have failed completely and miserably! I am no longer worthy of life!" Now Knives was giving him the "I-think-you're-disturbing-and-I-wish-you-would-go-away" look, but Legato was paying no attention. Still crying, he mumbled half to himself, "Excuse me, I must go jump off a cliff and crack my head open on the rocks below, creating much splattering and blood and quite a mess..." He began bumping into the closed door on the way out, so, not wanting a repeat of chapter two, an unnamed force called the authoress opened the door and let him out. After a few minutes, Knives sighed and went to check on Legato.

But it's only because I don't want to lose him... as a MINION! ONLY AS A MINION! Knives tried to convince himself on the walk over. It wasn't working. What's that smell? It' sort of iron-y...

Suddenly looking downKnives realized there was a trail of something on the ground, a trail of splatters. It was red, it was liquid, it was...

"OH my GOSH! Legato!" Knives ran the rest of the way to the telepath's room.

"Legato---" As Knives flung open the door, he was greeted by a terrible sight: Legato sat on the floor, facing away from him surrounded by a puddle of blood. The plant stood there in shock.

"L-Legato...?" Oh my god, Knives thought, What have I done? I didn't know he was that serious! Oh my god...

Slowly, Knives approached Legato and---
