AaAahah *See what I mean?* This Fic is going to different from most of the Vash returns with Knives and Meryl being bitch about it, and Wolfwood is alive *She had to do it for her cheery friend Milly* In this story everything is going to be quite the opposite. This fic is going to be confusing, boring at times, and weird so read on your own discretion. I won't explain what it's about, I'll let you find out on your own. Ok let sing the Hamtaro song lalalalala *Excuse me while I go and slap my sweet Cough(retarded)Cough self*

************************************************************************ **************
Knives watched as his brother and the woman kiss. Something in him flared with an unknown emotion or it was known, he just pushed it all inside of him like she had said. His brother always had a thing away with the woman, a kind of charm that he never mastered. He watched as his brother held the second woman he loved probably for the last time as she slipped away from him. Knives felt waves of all these emotions that he had locked up since the project SEEDs. Now if he thought back to it, it was two different humans that influenced his brother and him. Rem influenced Vash, while Steve influenced him. Knives chuckled as it all came back to him. He knew everything about himself, but he tried to convince himself that everything was fine, that he must hate others instead of himself. Just like his belief of to save one you must kill the other. It has worked for him all up until now. "This is good-bye huh?" asked Vash with a small smile. "Vash promise me something" said Meryl. "Huh what?" he asked. "That if you feel sad, then you'll feel sad, but only for the time you need to, but don't lock it all away in you...it doesn't help" she said. Vash nodded. "And I take back what I said...if you fall in love with some else while I am gone, then love that person, don't wait for me" she said. "But-" Vash was stopped by Meryl's lips. When she pulled away she smiled. "I will always have a space for you in my heart, and I will always love you Vash the Stamped" she said and held him for the while more she had, because it was time for her to wake up from this dream she has been living in.

2 years later...[AN: Damn times flies]
*Baby crying* "Damn, where is his mute button?" asked Wolfwood picking up the baby boy and turning it around as if searching for a switch. "Here give him to me" said Milly as she took the baby and gently started to rock him. The noise died down slowly and soon it was the soothing sound of Milly's humming. Wolfwood flopped down on the couch and sighed. "I don't know how you do it" said Wolfwood. Milly smiled. "Hey everyone, I bought doughnuts, well what's left of it anyways" said Vash holding up an open box with two doughnuts in it. "How thoughtful of you to save us some Tongari" said Wolfwood. Vash grinned. Milly laughed. "Come on sit down Mr. Vash" she said. Vash looked towards where Milly was holding the baby and a painful image of Meryl standing there with a baby came in to his mind. "Milly what happened? Why did you call me over" asked Vash. "Well, Mr. Vash I just got a this letter from Sempia and I though-" Milly didn't get to finish due to Vash's sudden grab of the letter in Milly's hand. *After two damn years!* he thought as he looked down at the unopened white envelope. "Sweetie do you think you can help me with the kids?" asked Milly. Wolfwood nodded and headed towards Milly's direction leaving Vash alone in the room. Vash slowly opened the letter. As many question, and wonders where going through this head.
~~~***Meryl's Letter***~~~
Dear Milly,
How have you been, I am happy for you and Wolfwood. When do you think I will be an auntie? I finally had a chance to sit down and write to you. In your last letter you mentioned that Wolfwood, Vash, and you moved to Wolfwood's hometown of September and that you two were going to help take care of the orphan kids. That you two were getting married...I wish I was there to share that wonderful day with you. If only I could tell you how many times I wanted to leave it all and run to you guys. I feel so lonely here, everyone is so wind up. Milly I miss you so much. I am a fool...I let myself think I could live without him. That I could put everything just so he could be happy. I didn't want to rush him. I didn't him to choose me and the person he had loved for so long and lived for. I am so selfish Milly, the way it all ended was just too much, but now my heart is dead. Milly the chief...he asked me to...marry him. He called me back with that intention the whole time. Milly I want to refuse but I don't know what more there is for me. I'm sure Vash has moved on...he must have found someone beautiful. Don't I sound pathetic? I am thinking about quitting the job at Bernardelli. The chief has been pressing me about the answer, and I can't tell him that I am in love with 'Vash the stamped' oh Milly I wish you were here to help me escape this, everything is falling apart for me...it fell a part when I had to leave Vash. I don't have anything to live for anymore. Maybe Knives was right about how I was a fool...
Everything is so much complicated now, I never thought that I would fall in love with the man that I was to look after. I wasn't supposed to fall in love with him. I shouldn't have! This is causing problems for everyone. I'm hurting so many people...I'm a terrible friend and a worse woman. All I cared about is my job, I was being an idiot. I want to see him Milly. Every night I lay awake seeing his face on the dark wall of my room, and all I could think of is how much I miss him as tears sting my eyes. I never thought of love Milly, I was never that little girl thinking about my knight in shinning armor. But after traveling with Vash I started to care for him so much that now when I think about the good times we shared my heart wants to rip apart. Two damn years has passed and yet I still feel like my heart that is like a wound that never closes and I am bleeding to death everyday over and over again. Milly I want to hold him, my arms are so empty. Holding another man isn't like holding him. I must be boring you with all these stupid blabbing. I am sure you guys all moved on. I hope to hear that you and Wolfwood are going to have a baby soon, and that Vash has someone who he is happy with. I want all of you to be happy, and that will be good enough for me. I know this was short but I promise I will write a long letter when I hear from you. I really do miss all of you...
Love,
Meryl
P.S. Don't forget to send me pictures!
~~~***End Of Meryl's Letter***~~~[AN: That letter was so stupid]
Vash had tears in his eyes. How could she possibly think that he moved on? These past two years were like living the 133 years of his life all over again. At night all he could think about was what it feel to hold her, to have her body next to his, to taste her lips again. She has been haunting him since she left. Now she thinks that he has moved on? How could she? How? Damn why does life have to be such a bitch to him? Vash held the letter in his hand as more tears flooded his face. *~I wish you were here to help me escape this~* Her words were like a dagger being stabbed in to his heart every minute he sat there. "Damn her" said Vash. Milly looked from the door as her expression changed to a sadden one. Wolfwood saw the look on his wife's face and shook his head. "DAMN IT" yelled Vash before getting up and walking out of the house. Milly walked up and picked up the letter and started to read it. "Oh Sempia" she whispered looking towards the door that Vash had disappeared through. *Dear lord I pray that you bring them together* she thought holding her now swollen belly.
Vash found himself walking around the empty desert as if trying to walk away from it all. but every where he looked her face would be there smiling at him taunting him to reach out and only find the golden sand. *I can't live without her* he thought letting his legs fall, as he fell to his knees and soon he was sitting on the hot sand with tears trailing down his face. How could he forget the only other woman he ever loved other then Rem Saverem? Why do they keep leaving him behind? Was he that hard to love? It was ironic that both woman were so drawn to their job. Rem gave her life for the duty she felt towards saving human race, while Meryl was no different. If the situation wasn't so depressing he would have laughed at his taste in women. She mentioned that Knives was right about her being a fool, but the real fool was he, he let her slip through his fingers, he didn't follow like she had done. He didn't stick to her like she would have done. "I let her go once, but this time she isn't getting away" he said as he stood. "This time I won't let another woman die out of duty" he said and started to walk towards a future that he was going to finally make, and not life decide for him.
Back at December city...[AN: I don't know where Bernardelli Insurance company is, but in this story it's going to be in December city]
Another day that seems like a year for Meryl as she climbed the steps to her lifeline. Funny this was her lifeline yet she was barely alive anymore. She pushed through the glass door of the building to be greeted by the fake people that surrounded her. She walked in to her fairly large office and set down her brief case. "Morning Meryl" said a tall blonde walking in. "Hey Claire" she said quietly. "Meryl what's happening to you, lately you have been out of it. Your have been different since you came back from your trip, but lately you have been completely 'dead' what's wrong?" she asked. "I guess to much work" said Meryl with a weak smile. "I know that can't be it, your the job Meryl there is no way you can be stress out from work" said Claire. Meryl sighed and chuckled. "I gave up everything for this stupid job" she said spitefully. Claris looked troubled by her friend's strange behavior, everyone but Meryl Stryfe says this was a stupid job. "But one thing that this job did give me was three years that I cherish" she said. "Are you upset about Milly's absence?" asked Claire. "I guess I am" said Meryl. "Well, I have to say that I feel bad that the poor girl has to look after such a dangerous man" said Claire. Meryl slammed her hand on her desk making her blonde friend jump. "He isn't dangerous at all! He isn't what they say instead he is the most sweeties guy I have ever met, he loves life, he wouldn't harm a small bug even if it bit him half to death" said Meryl as her eyes went glassy.
"He's nothing they say he is..." she whispered. "Meryl what has gotten in to you..." asked Claire. "Meryl" said a deep voice. "Oh morning chief" said Claire facing the tall handsome man with brown hair and deep green eyes. [AN: I know in the anime the chief looks nothing close to being cute, but I feel for Meryl so I will make him handsome, but not as much as Vash] "Morning Parker" said the chief. Meryl looked out the window. Claire nodded and left closing the door behind her. "Meryl?" he asked again, but she didn't move. "Are you feeling all right?" asked the chief placing his hand on her shoulder. "Please, tell me what's bothering you" he said softly. "I can't..." she said. "Why not?" he asked confused. "Because I can't. You have to give me room to breath Jonathan" she whispered. "Why do I get the feeling that you're not happy?" he asked. *Because I'm not you idiot!* thought Meryl. "I'm fine just a little stressed out" she said. "Meryl...I will 'wait' as long as you need" he said. Meryl thought her tears would explode right there and then when those words came from his lips. "Jonathan I'm fine...and I don't want to make you wait forever" she said. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her shoulder and placed a kiss on her cheek. Meryl was glad that the window didn't show her reflection, because that would have given away all the pain that was evident there. "I don't care, I will if I have to" he said. Meryl nodded. "I think we should go back to work" she said as she pushed away from him. "Meryl do you mind explaining to me why you keep pushing me away?" he asked. "Jonathan please just don't push me, you know I'm not comfortable..." she said. "Not comfortable enough to kiss me?" he asked. "I'm sorry!" yelled Meryl. Jonathan's features softened. "Meryl I want to be there for you" he said placing a hand on her cheek.
Meryl turned away from his hand. "Then be there and don't push yourself on me" said Meryl. "I don't want to be selfish Jonathan but I can't have you in my space...I'm not ready to share that space with 'you' yet" she said looking down at the ground. *The truth is there is only one person I can share my life with, but he's not here...no I'm not going to cry* she thought. "Meryl" he said. "Jonathan it's best if we just leave it at that I really need some time to finish the latest report" said Meryl. Jonathan sighed and walked towards the door. "Well, have lunch then" he said walking out. Meryl let her tears out when she heard the door close. "I can't live without him" she whispered. "I can't live this false life" she whispered. Vash stood outside the large building. *I'm here* he thought.
