Chapter 3- Suprises and lies

"Quickly, Kora! Get dressed!"Nina snapped. She stared out the window at the two men.

"Lets go!" Kora said, throwing her sisters clothes on her head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I got you now, Vash the Stampede!!!" The man laughed, waving the gun in the air.

"Now, Friend, lets not hurt anyone,"The shadowed figure said.

"Yeah! No one will be hurt but you!" he laughed. Nina and Kora poked their heads from the door, watching them.

"We have to stop him," Nina whispered.

"Why? Its not our job,"Kora said.

"But it is Meryls job,"Nina said,"And I cant let her get in trouble, just because she is in another city."

"No! Sis! Come back!" Kora said as her sister ran infront of the man.

"Oh crap!"Wolfwood said, he just joined them,"What the **** is she doing!?"

"She is trying to stop this,"Kora said quietly,tears forming in her eyes.

"STOP!" Nina cried. The light from the moons radiated down.

"Get out of the way, ******!" The man snapped.

"Miss! Please move!" The supposed 'Vash the Stampede' said.

"No! I cant!"Nina shouted,"Dont shoot him! STOP!"

"Why should I!?" He growled.

"Because...no one has the right to take the life of another,"Nina sighed as she walked towards them,"If we dont stop the madness now, It will never cease."

"Get back! I will shoot!" He stuttered.

"Stop the madness, only you can,"She smiled as she reached out to the guy and the gun.

"No! No! STOOOOOPP!!" He screamed. She pushed down on the barrel, till it pointed to the ground. Kora sighed in relief.

"Thank you,"Vash sighed.He turned to walk away.

"wait! Mr. Stampede!"Kora said.

"Call me Vash,"he said, his face still shadowed.

"Please, let me see your face,"She said as her sister walked over.

"I wish I could...but it would put you in danger,"He mumbled.

"We arent afraid of danger!"Nina said. Vash laughed slightly, shook his head, and began to walk away.

"you crazy Hangfires.."

"no! WAIT!!! Come back!"Nina shouted and began to chase him, but he disappeared into an ally.

"We were so close,"kora whined.

"Wait..how did he know our names??" Nina mumbled.

"lets get some sleep sis,"Kora said, shaking off the question.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vash snuck into his room, and quietly closed the door behind him.

"What do you think you were doing..."Wolfwood growled. He had come back inside before Vash.

"wah! Wolfwood!! I.."Vash began.

"No excuses!"He shouted, then sighed,"Now everyone will know where you are..."

"We can leave..yeah! We can leave right now,"Vash nodded vigorously, picking up his duffel bag.

"Vash..you cant keep running away,"Wolfwood smirked.

"I know...but I can...untill they catch me,"Vash said, turning to walk out,"And they havent caught me yet."

"You and your twisted logic,"Wolfwood shook his head and smiled as he followed the dim witted outlaw.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"He definatly isnt here,"Meryl sighed,"We searched all night."

"You are right, Sempai,"Millie said,"He must be in Little Arkansas..."

"Extra extra! Read all about it!" A child on the sidewalk with a stack of papers shouted," Typhoon spotted in Little Arkansas! Reporter pulled into action!!!"

"What?" Meryl said and took a paper.

"That will be 75ccents....hey lady!"The child shouted as she began to walk away, reading the paper.

"Ah..here,"Millie smiled, tossing the boy the change and running after Meryl.

"Oh my gosh.."Meryl gasped, her eyes growing wide,"Thats Nina!"

"What??"Millie questioned in suprise, looking at the picture,"My goodness! IT IS!"

"Lets go! She may need our help!!!!!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"excellent!"Mr.Big grinned,setting the newspaper on the desk.

"But sir! Nina may be hurt,"Stan frowned.

"So?"The man asked, resting his hands behind his head,"WE got the news first."

"But at the expense of an employees health!"

"So?"He said once again,"They knew of the trouble they were getting into when they accepted the job."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Come on Kora! Let me go!"Nina shouted.

"No! You just experianced a tramatic event! You must stay in bed,"Kora nodded knowingly.

"Nooo!! Im fine,"She said,"We need to find Vash the Stampede!! WE WERE SO CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"No! Stay still!!"Kora cried, wrestling her sister.

"Let...me....go.."Nina said quietly,"I promise you,Kora, Im fine."her sister sighed and walked over to the closet, pulling out her black trench coat.

"I suppose we will be leaving then.."

"Right,"Nina nodded,"Now..we kinda know what he looks like...and we DO know what he sounds like."

"Alright alright,"She said,"But thats barely any info.He knows more about us than we do about him.'

"I cant stand it,"Nina mumbled,"how did he know our names!?"

"Well..he is Vash the Stampede,"kora said,"He's full of surprises."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vash and Wolfwood trudged through the ocean of sand.

"Why didnt we take the bus?" Wolfwood groaned, sweat running down his face.

"It....would have been to late,"Vash said, as he dropped his duffel bag,"Thats it..I cant go on."

"Yes you can,"Woflwood said,"Its your fault we're stuck here, so you better get us out."

"Okay okay,"Vash sighed,"Now...uh..which way?"

"ugh! NEEDLE NOGGIN!!!!!!!!!!!"Woflwood shouted angrily.

"What?" Vash asked. Wolfwood began to stomp towards him.

"Stop!"Vash shouted,"Dont move!"

"Why?"Wolfwood questioned. Suddenly, a spear landed infront of him,"Wah!?"

"Nohmads,"Vash grimaced as a group of atleast 12 men came running down a hill,"We gotta run!"

"Lets fight,"Wolfwood growled. Suddenly, the cross he held on his back became a large gun, and he pointed it at the group.

"No! Dont kill them!"Vash pleaded.

"OMG! You are so thick headed!"He growled, lowering his gun,"I cant even kill THEM!?"

"No,"Vash said,"She would be sad if you did.."

"She?"Wolfwood questioned untill another spear skimmed across his cigarette.

"RUUUUUUUN!!!"Vash shouted and they began to run, despite their fatigue.

"May we rent this bike?"Nina asked, looking over a beautiful Angelina 2.

"yeah...I guess..."The man shrugged, handing them the keys,"How will you pay?"

"Here,"Kora said, dropping $$700 in his hand.
