Chapter 2 ::Old Friends::




In a city called Hope, two former insurance investigators talked about their adventures with the Humanoid Typhoon, Vash the Stampede, an outlaw, a friend. 1 year ago Vash the Stampede left their lives to go fight his maniacal twin brother Millions Knives, who by the way wanted to wipe out the human race and make an Eden for his brother and himself. Vash the Stampede and his twin brother Millions Knives are not human, they are plants. No not the kind that grow in the ground but the kind that power cities with their energy. These two former
insurance investigators never suspected that today they would see their friend the Humanoid Typhoon again.

?The man I love, Vash the Stampede, is a goofball, broom-headed, donut eating baka!?
?Wow isn?t that romantic? Meryl thought aloud.

?Meryl!? Milly was calling her downstairs. ?We live in a decent house with 3 bedrooms, 1 for Meryl, 1 for Milly, 1 for?Vash.? ?If he ever came back Meryl thought grimly?.

?Meryyyll!? Milly was calling her again now louder.

?Coming!!? Meryl called back. ?I wonder what?s so important.? Meryl thought.

Meryl walked down the stairs briskly. Being very curious Meryl started running down the stairs and on the bottom stair. Meryl waited for the impact of floor with her face but it never came. She felt two strong hands grab her waist firmly yet not hurting her at all. She knew this couldn?t be Milly because she wasn?t that fast. Meryl?s eyes were closed tightly when she first started falling and now she started to open them and saw a blond lanky yet muscular man with aqua green eyes staring into he violet grey eyes. It took Meryl a moment two figure out who this was but when it hit her she gasped.

?Wow looks like she?s happy to see me? Vash thought. Then Vash smiled, a genuine smile that is hardly ever seen on Vash?s face. After 1 second it was gone and a goofy grin replaced the genuine smile.

?Hey ?former? insurance girl, I guess you?ve fallen head-over-heals for me? Vash said to Meryl with a wink.
?Was that a genuine smile I saw on Vash?s face?? Meryl thought for a second before what Vash said to her sunk in. Meryl blushed but it was gone just as fast as Vash?s Smile was.

?VASH THE STAMPEDDDEEE!!!! PUT ME DOWN?NOWWWW!!!!? Meryl screamed in Vash?s face.

?O.k. o.k. geez, what?s it that time of the month??

?WHAAAATT?!?! VASH YOU INSENSATIVE PIECE OF-? Meryl got cut off by Milly.

?It?s nice to have you back Mr.Vash, how was your trip??

?Well?you see?ummm? Vash stumbled with his words.

?Spit it out you baka!? Meryl yelled at Vash still a little mad about the crack he made about ?the time of the month?.

?Weell ummm?me and Knives had a gunfight and I won?

?What did you do with knives?? Meryl asked suspiciously. Her brow went up a little in suspicion.

?I umm?patched him up?and I put him on my shoulder and-? Vash said while rubbing the back of his head.

?Where is he NOW?!?!? Meryl was afraid but she covered it up with anger.

?Well?you see?he?s?on the porch unconscious? Vash said in whisper and then ran out of the house screaming ?IMGONNADIEIMGONNADIEIMGONNADIE!!!?

?Oh yes you are VASH THE STAMPEDE!!! Meryl screamed at the top of her lungs while running after Vash at top speed.

?Good ol? times? Milly said reflecting on the times before Vash left to fight his brother.


<<<<<<<<<Meryl chasing Vash>>>>>>>>>


Oh Vaaaaaaaasssshhhh!!!! Meryl said in a sing-song way.


?Oh crap, she?s gonna find me? Vash thought in an ally. The ally was small but big enough for a few people. The ally was dirty but it would serve good as a hiding spot??I hope? Vash thought.


?Oh there you are Vash? Meryl said with a sinister grin.


Vash turned around and screamed?


?Oh crap you found me!! Ahhhhhhh!!? Vash screamed at the top of his lungs.


?Come on it was my brother I couldn?t just let him suffer? Vash whined like a three year old begging his mom to eat ice cream before dinner.


?Vash?HE?S ON OUR PORCH!!? Meryl screamed at the top of her lungs. ?Only Vash does this to her?only Vash?


?I know, I know? Vash whined


?VASH! WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO!?!?? Meryl yelled trying to cover up he fear.


Vash?s back was facing a wall and his hands were at his side. Meryl pinned him to the wall, hands on his shoulders. Meryl?s face was just inches from his and Vash just noticed how smooth Meryl?s skin was and he just stood there staring at her, day dreaming.


?Ya know Meryl your skin is really smooth? Vash didn?t know he said that out loud, and then wondered why Meryl was blushing.


?Excuse me?? Meryl asked still blushing. ?Oh my god did he just say I had smooth skin!?
Maybe he likes m- no, no, no don?t get your hopes up Meryl he doesn?t like a temperamental boring women? the pessimistic part of her mind said.


?Did I say that out loud?!?!? Vash?s mind was racing. ?Oh my god I did!!!? ?Crap how am I gonna get out of this one?!? ?O.k. o.k. think Vash think?aww crap I got nothing!?


?Vash?? Meryl waved a hand in front of Vash?s face. ?Vash? Are you there?? ?What?s he thinking about?.


?Yeah?? Vash snapped back to reality?finally.


?Never mind lets just go back home o.k.?? Meryl really forgot why se wanted to kill Vash and besides she was tired and a soft bed was waiting for her. Meryl backed away from Vash so he could get out of her restraint.


?Yeah, sure what time is it??


Meryl looked at her watch and it read 11:30pm.


?Wow, it?s already 11!? Meryl said surprised.


?Wow, we better hurry bandits and robbers come out around this time? Vash said worried for Meryl?s well being. ?Wow that was awkward, I can?t believe I actually said she had smooth skin out loud, at least that?s over? Vash thought relieved.


Meryl shivered, the night was cold. Vash noticed her shiver. ?Maybe this is the right time to make my move? With that thought Vash moved closer and put his arm around Meryl. Vash felt her tense up and said to her ?your cold?.


?Thanks? Meryl said trying not to sound surprised but failing miserably.


?No problem? Vash said in a whisper, barely audible. Obviously Meryl heard it and Vash noticed she loosened up right after Vash said it. ?good, she?s loosened up? ?and I didn?t get slapped, that?s a plus!? Vash thought to himself optimistically.


When they got to the house, everything was quiet. Vash and Meryl figured that Milly went to sleep earlier. Vash took his arm off Meryl and noticed that Meryl went to her room. Vash wasn?t really sleepy so he went to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee and have a donut. ?or two? Vash thought innocently.


A little while later Meryl came into the kitchen in her pajamas (that shirt that she wore on the sand steamer) and she had her hair down (her hair was up before). Vash was taken back her beauty; she let her raven hair grow down to her shoulders and her hair was wavy. She also filled in, in a few places which made Vash?s mouth grow wider. As soon as Vash noticed that his mouth was open he closed it quickly before Meryl noticed.


?Want some coffee?? Vash asked trying to get his mind off of Meryl?s slender body.


?Yeah, that?s why I came downstairs. I couldn?t get to sleep? Meryl answered, yawning completely oblivious to the fact that Vash?s mind was elsewhere when he asked the question.
?Where?s the coffee?? Meryl asked Vash.


?On the counter? Vash answered with his mind slowly coming back to reality.


?Thanks? Meryl politely answered.


After Meryl got her coffee she sat down directly across from Vash. While getting situated in her chair he bare smooth leg rubbed against Vash?s leg and she quickly mumbled ?sorry? and they both started blushing furiously.


?Wow, she?s cute when she blushes? Vash thought, his mind going back to thinking about Meryl?s slender body. ?Crap, I better stop thinking about that? Vash mentally slapped him self for having hormones.


?Meryl?? Vash asked trying to start a conversation with Meryl.


?What?!? Meryl asked taken by surprise at the use of her name.


?I?m sorry did I startle you?? Vash asked Meryl, with concern written all over his face. You could see it in his face that he was concerned for Meryl?he loved her.


?No, it?s just that?s the first time you used my given name? Meryl said with a sigh. Vash noticed Meryl?s sigh and apologize quickly.


?I?m sorry, I never knew? Vash said to Meryl with caring in his voice


?It?s ok, what did you want?? Meryl said curiously to Vash. Meryl had no idea of what he was going to say next.


?Well I noticed that I know almost nothing about you. I want to know more about you I mean? Vash said sincerely. Vash really didn?t know that much about her and she didn?t know much about him.


?Well, I don?t know you that well either so why don?t we get to know each other?? Meryl said, really wanting to know more about the man she loved. Yeah she knew about the SEEDs ship, Knives, and that he?s not human but she didn?t know his favorite movie, or drink?stuff like that.


?Sounds great,? Vash said in a high pitched goofy voice that was plainly Vash, well ONE side of Vash. The one he shows more often.


?O.k. well, what is your favorite movie?? (In my story they have movies & theaters) Meryl asked Vash, trying to start the conversation with something easy.


?Lassie, the poor dog? Vash whimpered after his answer.


?Oh you baby, it?s just a movie? Meryl said cold heartedly to Vash.


?Oh you?re so cold? Vash said with a little grin he was trying to keep from Meryl.


?Well what?s your favorite movie?? Vash asked, blushing from the answer he gave and trying to look at something other that Meryl. ?Oh look a vase? Vash thought to himself trying to redirect his mind. ?God, why does Meryl have to be so beautiful?!? Vash thought screaming to himself.


?Well, my favorite movie is ?Bad Boys? 1 & 2? Meryl said proudly.


?So you like ?Bad Boys? huh?? Vash said seductively and totally out of character.


?VASH?!? Meryl screamed in a whisper trying not to wake Milly, and trying to hide the cherry red blush creeping up her cheeks.


?What it was an honest question?? Vash said, seductive grin growing wider when he noticed her blush.


?Hmph? Meryl made a noise and coldly said ?good-night-to-you!? to Vash and walked to her room stomping as hard as she could while still making it quiet enough not to wake Milly.


?Good night?Meryl? Vash said her name once more. It sent a tingle through his mouth.
With that he also got up and went to bed his mind on Meryl.
