(I hope this is not to long, I just like story lines)
a gunshot sounded and a shot landed next to Vash's right foot.
"What the hell?!"
He looked around, and immediately saw a shadow lurking at the roof of the grocery they'd been to yesterday.
Vash quickly drew his gun and aimed for the shadow, but the shadow flickered and vanished.
This time, several gunshots cracked the air; they all embedded themselves near Vash.
Vash realised Wolfwood and Milly were in danger around him.
"Keep a distance away!"
He yelled, and began running.
It was exactly as he had planned.
He was running, and running exactly into where he wanted him to be.
He dashed from rooftop to rooftop, until finally there were no more rooftops to shoot from.
They were on the outskirts of town.
Grinning, he jumped down and ran up a sand dune, out of town.
Vash saw him, and followed.
He scrambled up the dune and saw a man a distance away, holding something.
Vash ran over, and pointed his gun at the man as he halted in front of him.
The man had red hair, streaked with copper, and he was hiding something behind his back. He had a sturdy build, but he was tall.
He was grinning at him, but his eyes were full of hatred.
"Vash the Stampede."
Vash winced. Was this another bounty hunter?
"Are you a bounty hunter?"
"No. I'm not another bounty hunter."
Vash paused.
The man was starting to grin more wildly.
Something was definitely up here.
"Uhm, did you do that to the building?"
"Yes. But don't worry, I don't think I killed anyone. It was just to bring you outside."
Vash frowned.
"Who are you?"
"Rederine the Temaski. I'm half plant, half human... a bit like you, Vash the Stampede."
Vash's eyes widened.
"How'd you--"
"Professor Corman found out. He read it in his grandfather's journal log."
Rederine spun a black gun around his thumb and finger before he pointed it at Vash.
"It's orders. I have to bring you to him."
Vash's eyes hardened.
"Why?"
Wolfwood and Milly ran up just then, and they stared at the man, and at Vash.
"What's going on?"
Wolfwood asked Vash. Rederine laughed.
"Good, good. More to watch the fireworks."
Milly frowned.
"Fireworks?"
"Figuratively, not literally, big girl."
Wolfwood turned from Milly to Vash.
"Tongari, was it him? Did he destroy that building?"
"Yeah. It was him."
Wolfwood unleashed his cross, and Milly pulled out her stungun.
The trio had their weapons out, and they were all pointing at Rederine. Rederine had a gun trained on Vash, but still, it appeared that the odds were against him.
They didn't expect him to laugh again.
"Well, well. Don't resolve to violence so quickly. I just wanted to bring the attention of Vash the Stampede to me."
Vash lowered his gun.
"If you want to negotiate, go ahead."
Rederine's eyes narrowed.
"I don't want to negotiate,"
He spat.
"I just want you to know, Vash the Stampede, just how it feels like to watch someone you love and care for die! You did exactly the same to me, so you only deserve this!"
He roughly grabbed what he'd been hiding behind his back, and pushed it to the ground.
"Sempai!!"
Milly gasped.
Vash stiffened as he watched Rederine press a foot to her back. Her clothes and leggings were torn, and deep cuts were all over her. Blood stained her clothes.
"What the hell did you do to her?"
Vash asked, struggling to keep his voice level.
"Just had a little fun."
"A little fun??"
"Don't get so hyped up. She wouldn't call out to you. She made me do it."
He replied idly, then leant down to pat Meryl's cheek.
"Little girl, wake up."
She didn't even stir.
He slapped her, and pressed a gun to her jaw.
"Get up!!"
Milly winced as though she'd been slapped as well.
"Sempai...!!"
She said, her eyes filling with tears.
Meryl opened her eyes, and it took a while for her eyes to focus.
She looked up to see and feel Rederine pressing a gun to her jaw.
She glanced over to where Rederine was looking.
Vash, Milly and Wolfwood stood there, Milly looking like she was about to cry, Wolfwood gaping at her and Vash looking angrily at Rederine.
"Good girl."
He lifted the gun, but kept the gun trained on her.
"Get up."
Meryl got up from the ground to her knees, and then slowly stood up.
"Look at them."
She turned to them, but did not lift her face up. Meryl couldn't believe herself.
Vash was going to have to do something he didn't want to again, because of her.
Again.
"Let her go."
Wolfwood's words made Rederine laugh again.
"You mean, give the girl to you on the condition Vash the Stampede follows me? It's not that easy, I'm afraid."
He pushed Meryl forward, and she stumbled towards them.
"Vash the Stampede, you're going to have to be fast to prevent this death. Say goodbye meanwhile."
He pointed the gun to Meryl's back.
"NO!!"
Vash yelled desperately,
"DON'T KILL HER!!"
He ran forward, but it was too late.
The crack of the gunshot filled Vash's ears completely.
Meryl's head jerked up, her eyes wide open with shock and pain.
Then she fell forward, and collapsed onto the ground.
It felt as though it had happened too quickly.
There was a terrible silence, which in reality it lasted only for a few seconds, but in the mind of those watching seemed to last for hours.
Then Milly broke it.
She screamed.
"SEEEMPAAAIIII--!!!!!!!"
She rushed towards her, turning her over and cradling her head.
Vash pointed his gun to Rederine, whose face was no longer smiling, but twisted in anger and hatred.
"Don't you dare. You're not going come with me yet. Not for while, anyways."
"Why?"
Vash asked, his voice low.
"Because you did the equivalent to me. I'll be back to take down more."
He turned, and vanished in a gust of wind,He turned, and vanished in a gust of wind.
Vash didn't even pause to think about who he was.
He ran over to Meryl, and took her from Milly. The bullet was still somewhere in her, and he pressed his fingers against the wound and gasped. It was a fatal shot.
"d**n it!"
Vash gripped her shoulders, and began to shake her.
"Wake up! WAKE UP!!"
He yelled, and Meryl opened her eyes to him, and gave a small smile."I didn't cry out ."
She whispered. Then blood rose up her throat, choking her.
"Those better not be your last words. Don't die. Don't!"
Vash said, his voice turning to desperacy.
She closed her eyes, and her body relaxed completely.
