Trigun Fan Fiction ❯ GTE: Great Teacher Ericks! ❯ I Am Great Teacher Ericks! ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: I do not own "Trigun"! Own not, that I do… Er… Nevermind…

A/N: Hiya! Kouji, co-author of "CrossFire", here! It's XBlade's turn, but he's lazy… So I have to wait for him to finish the next chapter… But I love writing, so I'm writing my own story. I have never seen "Great Teacher Onizuka", so this is NOT a parody. But once I get the money, I might check it out. This is a one shot, but I might continue… Should I?…

GTE: Great Teacher Ericks

Pilot Chapter: I am GTE!

The planet Gun Smoke. It has been a year since the quiet but violent battle between the two humanoid Plant brother's… The dry, desert like planet had peace since then. The one known as Vash the Stampede disappeared, never to be seen again. It is a cool night…

Anyway, there is a town named Augusta. Half a year ago, 3 schools were built. An Elementary school, a Middle/Intermediate school, and a High school. The High school had no current English teacher. The others were scared off. Rumor has it that the whole operation was being lead by a delinquent named Kite… He had enrolled 2 months ago, and had been nothing but trouble. Unfortunately for the school board, none of the things he was doing were really hurting anyone, so he only got the occasional detention.

Anyway, that's not important right now… What is important, is that there is a violent argument happening in the home of four... Interesting people… One is a woman with short black hair, gray eyes, and is wearing white clothing. A noticeable accessory is her cape… She is currently yelling at someone. Another is a taller woman with brown hair, blue-greenish eyes, and is wearing an outfit of green and yellow. She is looking worriedly at the argument. Another is a man with very light, short blonde hair, light blue eyes, wearing a red and white outfit. He is currently tied to a chair, screaming about 'killing all human scum!'. The final resident of the house is a man with darker, long blonde hair. He is wearing a plain outfit of a white shirt and brown overalls. He is wearing glasses. Right now, he is getting chewed out by the woman with black hair.

"Vash!" The black haired woman yells, her teeth bared.

"Shh!! Meryl!", the long haired man known as Vash warns, "Don't use my real name, remember? It's Ericks!"

"Sorry… But Va-- Ericks… Please… Me and Milly can't support you and your brother anymore… I'm afraid that you'll either have to leave the house, or…"

"No, Meryl!! Don't say it!!!"

"… Get a job…"

"NNNOOOO!!! I don't wanna!!"

"I'm sorry…", Meryl says sadly, giving him a piece of paper. "This is the address for the Unemployment building…"

"But… why?…"

"I don't wanna do this to you… But I really don't want to kick you out…"

Milly pouts. "Please, Mr. Vash?"

"… Alright…"

Knives snorts. "Bah… Pathetic…"

Meryl glares evilly at Knives. "Shut up, you!"

~~~

Vash arrived at the building… He whimpered slightly. "I don't wanna do this…" He walked into the building. He sighed, and waited in line. A few hours passed, and it was finally his turn. There was an computer error and Vash got a shot as… an English teacher. He sighed, and went home to prepare for his job interview in a week.

~~~

Meryl smiled. "A teacher? That's great! You're good with kids!"

"Yeah… But I really don't want a job…"

Meryl smirked. "Vash… Let's make a deal…"

"… What?" Vash whimpered.

"If you can keep this job for a month… I'll buy you several boxes of donuts as a reward… And if you can't…"

"Er… What?"

"It's the COUCH for a month…"

"… You are EVIL…"

~~~

A week later, Vash was sitting in the Principal's office. He was wearing a green suit, and it was very uncomfortable. A man named Mr. Num walked in. He wore a black suit; and was tall, with broad shoulders. He had black hair, and was going bald. This was the Principal. He sat down. "Now, Mr… Ericks Stryfe… Are you good with English?"

Vash thought. "Well…"

"Good, you have the job!" Num said, dragging Vash out of his office, up the stairs, and into the class. Vash looked at the class nervously as he was abandoned by the Principal. Teenagers! Eeeee… He looked around at all the students. He winced at the smell of chalk dust, a smell he was not used to. He looked at all the students. He saw a familiar looking boy. Hey, isn't that Kite?! What's he doing here?!

The boy named Kite, who Vash had met 3 years ago in a Sandsteamer incident involving the Badlads leader Brilliant Dynamites Neon, also known as "B.D.N." Kite, however, could not recognize Vash in his new "duds". He sure looks familiar, though…he thought. Oh well… Fresh meat… He smiled at Vash evilly.

Vash raised an eyebrow at Kite, then got a stern look on his face. Okay Vash, don't lose your cool… You've already beaten your genocidal twin brother, so you can handle anything! Vash then got a confident smirk on his face. "Alright, class! How are you today?!"

The class gave him an odd look, then replied with 'fine' and 'okay', etc. A few snickered. Kite raised an eyebrow. What the hell is up with this guy?!

Vash then turned to the board and wrote 'Ericks Stryfe' on the board. "My name is Ericks Stryfe, but you can call me…" He then wrote in big, sloppy letters: GTE… "… Great Teacher Ericks!!!"

"Um… Hi…", a few students said.

"I am here to teach you English, while continuing my search for that elusive Mayfly known as love…" Vash said in a suave voice, while getting a sparkle in his eye. A few of the female students blushed, realizing how handsome the teacher was. A few boys rolled their eyes.

Kite's eyes widened. Wait, this guy sounds familiar…But no, it can't be… It couldn't…He wouldn't!!!

"Now, class… Repeat after me! This land is made of--!!"

The class joined in reluctantly. "This land is made of…"

"Louder!! This land is made of--!!!"

"This land is made of--!!!"

"LOVE AND PEACE!!!!!" Vash said, putting his fingers in the 'Peace' sign.

The class got into it more and put their hands in the symbol. "LOVE AND PEACE!!!!!"

Kite yelled. "NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! What the hell are you doing here, V--" Kite was quickly silenced by a chalk eraser to the face.

"No interrupting, young man! Now what is this world made of?!" Vash screamed.

Kite whimpered slightly. "Love… and…… Peace…"

Suddenly, the Principal stormed into the room. "What's going on here?!"

Kite quickly pointed at Vash. "He's gotta gun!"

"What?!"

"Huh? No I--" Vash began.

"Security!" Num yelled. "Arrest this man!"

"Oops! Looks like I gotta go! Seeya later, guys!" Vash said, jumping out the open window. The other students screamed in joy. "Go, Great Teacher Ericks!" Vash landed on the ground roughly, hearing a loud 'CRACK!' in his leg, as sharp pain went through his leg. He continued to run, wincing and limping.

Meanwhile, back in the class room, Mr. Num was questioning Kite. "Now what about this…gun?"

Kite shrugged. "I dunno, I was just kidding…" He laughed as Mr. Num gritted his teeth.

"Lost another one…", the Principal growled.

~~~

"Vash! What happened to your leg?!" Merly cried out as Vash limped back in the house. He gave a goofy grin and said "Broke it… Jumping out the window…"

Needless to say, Vash would be spending many lonely nights on the couch this month…

The End?

So, should I continue? Give me feedback! Signing off, this is Kouji…
