New Favorite

::Chapter one, New Favorite::

Vash walked down the dusty street, Akashia trailing behind him. He'd always shown off to girls…But since they'd been in a relationship…It seemed he did this more often. She didn't mind his obsession with doughnuts, she didn't care that he occasionally showed off to pretty ladies, because Akashia had to admit…Some were prettier than her. With her 5' 6" stature and her ebony black hair, and those emerald green eyes, she was pretty captivating…But, it still wasn't enough for Vash, he still held a place in his heart for Rem, Akashia had gotten used to that also. But…It just didn't seem fair…As soon as he had taken that job, and that girl had clung to his arm and called him, "Dot." She knew something was going to happen, and it wasn't going to be good.
----------
New favorite,
They all say it.
----------
(Flash back)
Once he had gotten off his shift, he had gone back to they're bedroom and sat on the bed looking exhausted. Akashia had seen what had happened between the two all day…She knew he had a new favorite.

"You like her, don't you?" She asked trying not to show the pain and hurt in her eyes.
---------------
I'll say it too,
You've got a new favorite.
----------
"What?" Vash couldn't believe the question she'd just asked.

"You like her don't you? I mean she's pretty…Better than me." Vash stared at her looking to see if she was kidding, there was no hint of mirth at all in her eyes, the walls were going up.

"N-no."

"That's a lie, I know you do. Even when your not on shift, your with her. You're always with her," She raised her voice a bit, "I have no time with you anymore!" "And I miss you…" She whispered looking down.

Vash was silent, he looked up at her, unshed tears in her eyes, "Your jealous. That's all. Just jealous."

"Vash I am not jealous!"

Vash continued his rant, "You've always been the jealous type…When I tried to help the pre-…the girls at the bar, you got mad at me for that! When I tried to help the pr-…the girl at the doughnut shop, you got mad at me for that!! Your just jealous! You need to get over that, I don't like women like that."

She was speechless, she had not one thought go through her mind. Vash turned his head and got up, "Where are you going?" she asked in a soft whisper.

"Out."

"W-why?"

"Because I don't really want to be around you right now!! Alright?! Is that what you wanted to hear?!" He glared at her and grabbed his coat and stormed out of the room.

(End flashback.)
----------
You won't stand by,
Your right hand guy,
-------------
And here they were, he with the $$60 billion bounty on his head and her…Just following behind, like a nothing. He didn't want her anymore. He had Mariane.
-------
Is nothing new?
You've got a new favorite.
-------
Vash looked back, "Are you coming?" he asked coldly.

She gave a small nod of the head, "Vash, I think we need to talk…" She said catching up with him.

"I don't find a point to."
-----------
Why do you lie about love?
-------
"Well I do." Vash just shook his head and walked faster, "Dinner's almost ready…We need to get to the house before Mariane thinks we're rude guests."
--------
I saw the light go out..
---------
She followed quietly as they walked into the house, she sat at the table as Mariane served everyone, and Vash smiled brightly at Mariane, "It looks very good Miss Mariane!" She blushed at his comment and murmured a quiet, "Thank you."

Akashia looked down at her bowl of soup…It was now cold. Vash was still eating and everyone else was until she looked up and sighed, "I'm not feeling so good…I'll be upstairs." Vash watched her retreating back.

He had finished eating and started his shift, walking back and forth while Mariane sipped her tea.

While Vash was downstairs Akashia was packing, she was leaving, and no one could stop her, she had no reason to be there…So why stay?
-----
And should I go
You won't say so.
--------
She looked at her bag, she had everything…She'd leave a note.
---------
I know it's true,
I know you've got a new favorite,
I know you've got a new favorite.
--------
Dear Vash,

Well, this is an final good-bye, I've given you all the warning signs that your losing me, and yet, you don't seem to care. I hope you and Mariane have a wonderful life together, with plenty of beautiful children, and you live long and happy, prosperous lives. I'll keep you in my prayers always…And I'll never stop loving you.

Well, I best be on my way, the suns setting and it seems this is the best time to escape, since your guarding Mariane.

Love,
Akashia.

She laid the letter on his pillow and wiped her eyes, she was finally leaving. Grabbing her bags, she snuck out the window, and hit the road.
