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.

************************************************************************ ****
Vash sat and watched as she sat everything down, he knew she was a great cook, the smell and the look told it all. "This looks great" he said as he took spoon full. Meryl sat across from him, a small smile at her lips as her eyes watched him. Vash stopped to look at her. "Aren't you going to eat?" he asked. "I will, I just want to watch you" she said. Vash smiled and then his eyes gave off the goofy smile. "Now, Now I feel self conscious" he said. Meryl growled and started on her own food. The rest of the meal went like that, after half hour of devouring everything, Vash sat and watched as Meryl took all the dishes in to the kitchen. Her hands reached for the desert plate when Vash chuckled. "What?" she asked. "I forgot how good you cooked" he said. Meryl found herself tremble as if she was a China about to fall from a shelf and break. "Meryl..." Vash said as he watched her. "Don't..." she whispered as she pulled her hands to her side. Vash stood and was about to hold her when she backed away. "Meryl?" he asked. "Don't stand there and smile at me...I can't take it" she whispered as she backed up against a wall. Vash walked towards her. "Meryl..." he whispered. "Your breaking me in Vash, I'm letting myself hope" she said. "Is it so bad to hope?" he asked placing his hand to her cheek. "It is if your Meryl Stryfe" she said.

Vash wiped the tears that stained her face. "Meryl I'm here" he said. "Your here now, but what about later?" she asked pulling him close. "I need you all the time Vash, I'm weak" she said. "No, your not Meryl" he said. "No, I am and I'm selfish" she said. "Meryl" he whispered. "All day all I could think of was how I wanted to just hold you and kiss you, how handsome your smile was, if you keep it up...I'll lose control" she said. "And what if you do lose control, will it be that bad" he ask stroking her hair. Now centimeters away from his lips. "Yes," she said, before Vash closed the space between them. Meryl wrapped her hand around his neck pulling him as close as it gets, tasting him, feeling his touch...
************************************************************************ **

Vash's brain was cut off by the warm sensation on his lips that muffled whatever he was thinking or about to think. He had just firmly pressed his soft lips against hers to silence her. Her eyes registered shock, then slowly, her eyelids drooped slightly as he gently took her chin in his hand and tilted it so that he could deepen the kiss. She responded with equal passion and fervor, her own brilliant eyes closing from the intense pleasure of having his lips pressed against hers. But all too soon, they had to pull apart to breathe. "Vash..." said a breathless Meryl. "Hmm?" asked Vash as he placed small kisses up and down her neck as he slowly picked her up and moved to her couch. "You smell good" he said before letting his tongue run over the creamy skin of her neck. She felt his lips brush against her ear and smiled a little. This dream would end as they always did. Encouraged by her soft sigh and the lack of signs of rejection, Vash began to gently kiss his way down her jaw line. She shivered a little once, but also clutched him tighter so he took that as a positive sign. "Vash we have to stop..." she whispered even though her hands disobeyed her and roamed around his chest. "Why?" he asked in between open mouth kisses. "Vash..." she whispered.

Vash nibbled gently on her lower lip and she opened her mouth slightly to be rewarded with a soft, tender kiss. "We can't Vash" she whispered. "Why not?" asked Vash running his tongue along her collarbone. "Because...mmm" she could hardly speak from all the overwhelming emotions. "What?" he asked again. Meryl forgot what she wanted to say. He tilted her head up to kiss her again before letting his hands roam her body. Vash placed his hand on the side of her right breast, as his thumb made circular motions. "Vash..." Meryl moaned. "I need you" he whispered. "And I need you" she whispered back. "Then why do you want to stop?" he asked. "Vash there is a lot to talk about...we can't complicate things" said Meryl. Vash placed his on her flushed cheek, before he lowered his head to her neck, kissing and nibbling on her soft flesh. Meryl took a ragged breath as Vash continued to kiss his way up and down her neck. She really couldn't have cared if they ended up having sex there, and God did she want to but the more rational part of her needed to clear things before they moved anywhere, after all she hasn't said 'no' to Jonathan and that technically makes her his fiancé.

With much reluctance Meryl pushed Vash away. "We can't" she whispered. Vash nodded as he sat up and stared at the ceiling. "Meryl explain to me why" he said. Meryl crawled near him and placed her head on his lap, and instantly Vash's hands worked their way in to her hair stroking it gently. "A dream...Vash I...I don't know I just can't take it to the next level yet" she whispered. Vash nodded. "then lets talk Meryl...I don't know anything about you...who are you?" asked Vash. Meryl sat up and looked at him. "I am the only daughter of John Stryfe, my mother Linda Stryfe. I was the only child they had, and my father is a big business man" she started. Vash nodded. "I always grew up taking up after him, organized, thought out plan, and everything that made him John Stryfe" she said as the memories of her younger self came back to her. "What about your mother?" asked Vash. Meryl chuckled "You know Vash, she was so much like Milly, she was so full of life, I think that's why my father loved her, because she gave him a way out of the world just for the time they spent together" said Meryl. Vash smiled. "My mother taught me how to cook, and every other craft that I can do, we use to sit around on rainy days and just talk, but my mother knew I wasn't like her...that I would be just as my father was" said Meryl. Vash pulled her on to his lap and Meryl wrapped her arms around him.

"My childhood was good, I wasn't like the other children" said Meryl. "What do you mean?" asked Vash. "I was always the one that was 'perfect' as they put it, and I guess then it matter to me to show to my father that I was worth something, but it was later did I truly understand that they would have loved me no matter what" said Meryl. Vash kissed her hair. "It was about 6 years ago that I left home...my father wanted my to take on his business and run the Stryfe name, but I wanted to start my own legend, I wanted it to be Meryl's legacy not John Stryfe's" said Meryl as she sighed. "6 years ago I left and never really went back, until a year later my mother passed away..." said Meryl with tears starting to well. "My father asked me to stay and take on once more but I couldn't. I already started my job at the Insurance Company" said Meryl. "So what about your father?" asked. "We haven't spoke since, I do write to the other at the house" said Meryl. "But your father..." started Vash. "He was a stubborn man that wanted to build his empire until he died, and he is finally doing what he dreamed of" said Meryl. "I on the other hand feel as if I betrayed my mother" said Meryl. Vash kissed her hair once more. Meryl leaned back on him. "Then that same year I was to follow you around and then you know the rest" said Meryl. Vash nodded and smiled. She sighed once more. "How is it that I feel so content right now?" she asked. "I don't know but I feel the same way" he whispered. "What should we do for the rest of the time?" asked Meryl. "I don't know" said Vash placing some small kiss on her neck.

"Let's go for a walk" said Meryl. "A walk?" asked Vash. "Mhm, we'll go and sit in the park" said Meryl. "Ok" he said. Meryl got up and smiled. "I'm going to change" she said as she walked in to her room. Vash sat for a while longer taking in everything that he just found out about Meryl. It wasn't nearly enough but he was satisfied with what he had. Vash smiled before he went in to Meryl's room. Meryl who was now in nothing but her underwear was looking through her closet to find something to wear. Vash crept behind her and held her almost naked body against him. "Vash!" she yelped. "Shhh" he said as he rocked her body with his. The slow movement felt nice and warm. Meryl found that her arms were now over her head wrapping themselves around his neck. Vash turned her so she was facing him. He smiled and pulled her up and instantly her legs wrapped around his waist. Their head resting against each other. Meryl smiled, her pink tongue darted out to lick her lips as she stared into his eyes. Slowly, hesitantly almost, she leaned down and touched her lips to his. It was only a fleeting contact, a brush of acquaintance laced with a tempting hint of taste. They held for a few seconds, then she raised her head. Receiving no unpleasant feelings, she lowered her head once more. This time, Vash participated, curling one of his hand around her waist, and other holding her head in place. The kiss seemed to last forever. Tame yet strained. Tender in their pressure, just a rubbing, shaping of lips, awaiting the initiation of more. Shyly, Meryl's tongue licked his upper lip, seeking for more. At the motion, Vash groaned deep and slipped his tongue into her mouth, not thrusting deep but inviting her to taste him.

The shimmering pleasure she felt bolted through her body, zapping the nerves and leaving her boneless. With that feeling, she tentatively accepted the offer and sucked lightly at his tongue. Instantly a shudder ran through his body and the hand at the nape of her neck tightened slightly. Thrilled at this, she repeated the action, this time eliciting a groan from him, a deep sound that reverberated through his chest, sending the vibrations on to her own. Her arms wrapped more tightly around his neck, shifting herself closer. "Vash..." she whispered. Vash looked her with a smirk. "Now that is something I can have a second round of" he whispered. Meryl chuckled and gently gave him a soft peck on the lip. "I still want to take that walk" said Meryl. "Damn is there no way to get your mind out of what you have made up?" asked Vash as he placed some kisses on her neck. Her hands drifted up to his face again, smoothing back the skin. Her hands then traveled up to his hair, pushing back the blonde strands, sinking back down to end at his lips once more. Then idly drifting down his chin, skimming the length of his throat. She looked into his eyes. They seemed to take on a more relaxed appearance but it was strained. Satisfied with that result, she steadied her hands upon his solid shoulders. "Your so beautiful up close" she said. "So are you" he said. Meryl took in the full image and found herself wanting to touch him.

"Should I help you dress?" he asked. "Huh? Nice try broom head" said Meryl as she placed another peck on his lips. "Come on" she said. "What if I don't want to" said Vash tightening his grip around her waist. "Darling that's called rape" said Meryl. Vash sighed and put her down as Meryl looked through her closet. "Why don't you wear this, you'll look good in it" said Vash pulling out a black lace dress that wasn't to fancy to wear it as casual, but elegant enough to wear to a party. Meryl shrugged and took the dress from him and pulled it over her head. Meryl took the brush from her vanity table and brushed her hair. Vash watched her with a smile. Meryl pulled out a pair of black sandals. "Let's go" she said. "Ok" he said as they headed out. In a long time Meryl felt happy, she felt beautiful, she felt like she was a woman. Vash at her side smiling and telling her about Milly and Wolfwood, their lives before. Talking about the old times, sharing things only they knew. The two walked in to the park, the setting sun casting a beautiful orange, red, and gold hue over the trees. "It's beautiful here" said Vash. "I know" said Meryl. They walked towards a white bench and sat down, Vash taking her hand and lacing it with hers. "This feels right" he whispered. "I know it does" she said.

Jonathan walked with his niece and her friends in to the small park. "Hey Uncle Jonathan can we get ice cream?" asked a girl about 12 with brown hair and blue eyes. "yeah sure go on head" said Jonathan. Vash heard the music of the ice cream truck and looked towards Meryl who smiled and nodded. "I'll be right back" he said before jogging off after the ice cream. Meryl sat and stared at the now darkening sky. Jonathan noticed a beautiful woman sitting by herself and decided to say hello. When he neared her, his breath caught at the sight, it was Meryl, 'his' Meryl sitting there looking beautiful as he haven't seen her. "Meryl?" he asked as if to make sure. Meryl looked towards the voice and gave a small smile. "Jonathan back so soon?" she asked. He smiled and came and sat down next to her. "The girls wanted to come back to the park for 'boy hunting' as they put it" said Jonathan. Meryl laughed. Jonathan stared at her with a smile. It was a different Meryl, maybe he was dreaming this up, but the real Meryl hardly laughed. "Are you going out?" he asked looking towards the dress. "Huh? Oh no I just thought I would wear it" said Meryl. "You look beautiful" he said. "Thanks" said Meryl. Vash stood in line with four other little girls, who were whispering and looking at him. He looked up at the sky confused. This went on as he got his ice cream. "Hey mister do you mind coming with me real quick I want my uncle to see you" said one of the girl. "But I didn't do anything. Did I?" he asked. The girls giggled and shook their heads. "No, I just want you to come with me" she said. Vash nodded.

Vash walked back with the girl and saw that they were headed towards where Meryl was sitting with someone. Meryl looked towards where Vash stood and smiled. "Are you coming to work tomorrow?" He asked. "You know what I think I'll take that day off you have been telling me about" said Meryl. Jonathan looked surprised, but nodded. "Uncle Jonathan I want you to meet the cutest guy I found" called his niece. Jonathan looked towards his niece as a bigger surprise appeared on his face. "That's a cute girl friend Vash" said Meryl. Vash smiled and nodded. "Here is your ice cream" he said handing Meryl her cone. Meryl smiled. Jonathan looked towards the two, as his own his heart fell to pieces slowly, but he wasn't going to assume anything and he sure as hell wasn't going to give up the woman he loved without a fight.
