Trigun Fan Fiction ❯ East of Eden ❯ chapter one ( Chapter 2 )

Ch. ? (Vash POV)

I had pretty much expected him to leave me again. It wasn't like this never happened. whenever I would get used to haveing him near me,

he would up and leave.

I knew of the feelings I was starting to develope for him, and I was kind of wrooied for the both of us.

Becasue tha last few times I had fallen in love, the girl would see my body, and leave me. It tore me up every time.

But would Nicholas be like that? To just leave me becasue of what my body looked like? He was a preist for heaven sake!

He shouldn't care about what people look like! But then again, there is the chance that if I tell him I love him

He could very easily not be atrracted to men, and walk out of life. But, now i'll never know, unless he comes back to me.

And that odds of that are slim. I am Vash the Stampede, and luck never comes my way.

I walked outside. My God, it was a gorgeous day out! The sun was brightly shining, and not a cloud in the sky could be seen.

"Rem,"

I said to myself.

"I wish I could show you this. Its so beautiful! But I suppose its a silly thought. Isn't it? You are so far away now.

You can probabaly see so much more from where you are."

I sighed. Rem had alwasy told me about things like love, and about people she loved. I was one of them.

She was like my mother. She loved me and KNives like we were her own children.

My thoughts were then interrupted by a giant red ball hitting my face. That kind of stung.

"Oh man! I'm really sorry sir! I tried to warn you before but you weren't paying attention. Sir?"

Time to do one of the things Rem had taught me...

I popped back to life and sucktioned the ball to my mouth. But I could throw my voice, and still talk with the thing attatched to my mouth.

"The deadly doge ball head! The power to hold the ball in place with intense suction!"

I ran around liek that for almost 2 more minuets, untill I dropped the ball.

"Hey mister! Will you and your firends play with us for a while? We like you. You'r pretty funny!"

I smiled at the little boy. he reminded me of myself at that age.

"Well, allright. Hey girls! Come play ball with us!"

Meryl and Milly exchange glances before finally nodding to each other and joining us for a game of kick ball.

We played for a while, with the twin suns beating down on us. It was getting hot, and the kids were sweating so much.

"Hey who wants ice cream? I'm buying."

Happy gasps came from all of the children, as I counted out 6 c-cents and gave them to Meryl.

"I want six ok?"

"But why so many Vash? There are only five of us?"

I pointed to a sad little girl who had been sitting on the bench the whole time we were playing.

SHe appeared to be waiting for her parents to come out of one of the shops. Meryl nodded her head, and bought the icecream. She went to hand the icecream to the little

girl who looked at it, and then ran off. This was an action that surprised me. It was differetn and it didn;t seem to be somthing a littel girl would do.

That was when I noticed him. He was dressed in all white, and he had different things on his sleaves. He sat down on the bench, and was about to eat, but then stopped.

"I have found you Vash."

I stopped. was he a bounty hunter? But a bounty hunter who could use telepathy?

"Who are you?"

I got a cold chill as he responded.

"Legato Bluesummers. You out of all people should know me."

He didn't sound like a bounty hunter. And what the Hell does that mean?

"What do you want? More importantly what does you should know me mean?" "Your life. Or perhaps that was a bit too much. I have been sent here as a messanger. My master wishes to see you."

Holy shit. He doesn't mean..or what if? I knew my eyes were glowing blue. Whenever I speak about my brother, the intnse blue light that plants

emit when they are angry goes to my eyes. My eyes become as blue as my brothers. Full of so much anger, and coldness.

"Where is he?"

He laughed softly.

"Not yet. I still want your life Vash. But first."

I saw the girl who was sitting alone walk up to Legato. I didn't like this one bit. Legato reach his hand out to give her a hot dog, and she took it happily

from him. Legato reached for her head and snapped it back. It was almost like he was going to break her neck! I stood there. I tried but I couldn't move anything.

Legato threw his hands up, and the little girl ran off just as happily as she had come. Legato laughed. I felt his hold on me realese and I could move.

"Bastared! How could you?"

"Oh Vash. I want to leave you with a thought."

He sent me a mental image of this town with the girls being blown to hell by the angel arm.

"You sick..."

"Vash if you want your friends to live, you should watch your step. There will be 12 other assains besides me, who also want you dead. I suggest if you plan to live longer

you give up your pathetic beliefs, and go find master. So, whats it going to be Vash?"

I stared at him. I couldn't just give up. Rem wouldn't like that at all!

"Very well then. You still have some time, before the rest of them appear. I suggest you start to re-think your beleifs alittle bit, and then get back to me."

He got up and walked away. Just like that. He laughed as he passed me by again. He gave me a cold stare, and dissapeared in a cloud of dust. Just like that. I had to

sit down for a moment and clear my thoughts.

"Mister Vash?"

I looked up to see milly.

"Yes?"

"WHo was that guy? The children were frightened, and you looked upset."

Should I tell her? No. Best to keep her innocence.

"He was an old...aquantince. I hadn't seen him for a while, and uh...he stoll my girl from me when we were younger,and we were settling our diferentces."

My god, she won't believe that crap. If they gave out awards, I would get the one forlamest sxcuse ever.

"Oh. Well ok Mister Vash. Me and Meryl are going to go find a hotel to stay in. Will you be coming with us?"

I shook my head. "I'll come find you guys later. I need to think."

She nodded her head, and walked off with meryl. I hate lying to her, but it was the only way to save her. Now what was he talking about assains? After me?

And who was he? I know he's Legato, but why does he think I should know him? My head hurts. I need a drink. I walked to the local saloon.

There was enetainment tonight. A saxophone was playing in the cornor of the saloon. The music was soothing me. It made my head stop hurting.
