Title: Untitled Melody

Chapter 5

"Hey Boss?"

"Yes Josh?"

"We found where that girl lives, plus where Vash is located."

The boss looked up from his magazine.

"Where does he live?"

"From what it looked like, he lived with that girl lives. Which means…"

"Which means we can kill two birds with one stone! We'll go and kidnap that girl, then Vash will have to come and save her, and then we will get the reward for Vash and get the girl! This has worked out really well!"

"Uh Boss?"

"What is it Josh?"

"How do you plan on getting the girl? Isn't Vash really dangerous? And I am sure that if you just go in by yourself, you may run into trouble."

The boss took this into consideration.

"You're right. Get the gang together. We'll go get `er that way."

Back at the house…

Milly sighed as she let her feet soak in the warm water. It was Sunday, and Sunday was cleaning day. Vash had come home a little earlier to help her finish whatever she didn't clean, and Meryl was making them dinner. Knives had also helped her with the laundry, and made him and Milly lunch. Milly thought about the past few days, and noticed how Knives had started to change.

`Maybe he is finding himself through all of this. Maybe being around humans, and seeing that not all humans are bad, has helped him out a lot. But still,'

She thought to herself.

`I wonder if he really does like me. Maybe when he told Vash about his feelings towards me, they were feelings like I was considered a friend. But I don't think that's the case. I know he has feelings for me. I could tell when he wrapped his arms around me that he had more then just friend feelings for me. Oh I just don't know. Nicholas?'

She asked while looking towards the window in her room.

`I just don't know. He seems to like me at times, and then other times, he goes off on me. Am I doing the right things to get him to like me? I mean beyond friendship. Help me please Nick.'

Milly sighed once again as she removed her feet from the foot soaker. Meryl had bought it for her, when she was working to strike water in that well. Milly was putting it back into her closet, when she heard a small knock at the door.

"Come in."

She was surprised to see Knives come in. He had in his hands two cans of pudding and two spoons.

"I hope you don't mind, but I wanted to try some of your pudding. I never had the stuff before, and it just looked good."

Milly smiled as she sat down on her bed.

"I don't mind. Go ahead and come sat down with me. I don't bite."

Knives smiled as he walked into the room. Vash had told him that if he wanted to really bring his relationship with Milly further, the best way to do it was to bring her pudding. Knives wasn't sure if Vash was being serious at the time, but right now, it just seemed to be the right thing.

"What kind is it?"

Knives sat down, and looked down at the label.

"Chocolate. Is this the same kind of chocolate that is in my ice cream?"

Milly nodded.

"It tastes just the same. Did you like the chocolate ice cream?"

Knives nodded.

"Then you'll love this stuff."

Knives handed her one of the cans, and she opened it. He opened his can as well, and took a bite.

"So? What do you think?"

Knives swirled the pudding around in his mouth for a second before swallowing.

"It's good! I like this stuff!"

Milly giggled, as she and Knives finished their pudding off in seconds. Milly took the garbage and threw it away in the trash bin that was next to her night stand.

"Milly?"

Milly looked up at Knives.

"I need to tell you something, but I'm not sure how to."

Milly looked surprised.

"Knives? What's the matter?"

Knives was about to say something when he heard noises coming from the living room.

"Knives? What was that?"

Knives wasn't sure but he had to tell Milly something so she wouldn't be worried.

"It may have been Vash and Meryl coming home. They went out about two hours ago, and they should be home soon."

Milly nodded.

"I'll be right back Milly. You stay here."

"Please hurry back Knives."

Knives saw the fear on her face, and nodded his head. He quietly walked down the hall. He stopped dead in his tracks when he heard a voice behind him.

"Goodnight Vash."

Then he was knocked out.

"You got him Joe?"

"I don't think this is him Josh. He looks nothing like the wanted posters."

Josh went into the hallway, and looked down at the unconscious figure on the floor.

"This isn't him you dimwit!"

"It's not?"

"No! He has darker blonde hair."

"Well he and the girl are the only people here."

"Where's the girl?"

"The boss went in there to get her."

Josh looked up when he saw his boss come out of the room.

"You get Vash?"

Josh and Joe both shook their heads.

"He's not here boss. Looks like we brought the rest of the boys out here for nothin'."

The boss just laughed.

"If I knew this was going to be this easy,"

He said gesturing to Milly who was unconscious on his shoulder.

"…Then I would have come out here by myself."

"What do we do with him?"

Joe said pointing to Knives.

"Just leave him. Leave that ransom note as well. Just in case this is the real home of Vash the Stampede."

"Yes sir."

Joe said while walking with Josh to put the note down somewhere. The three of them returned out to the Jeep where the rest of the crew was waiting.

"You aren't needed anymore. Go ahead and head out to the saloons if ya want. I won't need yawl for the rest of the night."

The boss said as he laid Milly down in the backseat of the Jeep.

"Me and you are going to have some fun my pretty. A lot of fun."

He said as he kissed the unconscious Milly.
