Okay, before you all leave to go get your eyes tested, this really is an update, I haven't the slightest in how long its been since I updated, but having dragged myself out of bed at 2 pm I found myself in need of something to do, so thought, what have I been putting off? This of course was followed with an, oh shit! I haven't written anymore of my fanfic in ages.
I apologise for how long its been since I last updated, and I really don't have an excuse for why I've been so lazy, I just am, and I'm a scatterbrain sometimes, so please forgive me for that.
Anyway…on with the story…
Chapter 12: to the fair?
Recap
Vash of course acted like any rational person would have to that circumstance. He ran straight at his brother.
End recap.
Knives grabbed Meryl round the waist, and pulled her into him. Meryl got her head pushed into his shoulder, as Vash basically rugby tackled Knives. The three of them ended up spread across the floor, Knives at the bottom, with Meryl on top of him, her body passed into his. Vash, who was lying across the two, quickly jumped off them, and looked at his brother with the angriest look that he could muster.
"Get off of her." He growled.
"Why should I?" Knives looked up cockily, Meryl was looking slightly bewildered at what was happening. So far in her day, she'd woken up on up of Knives, and then thrown across the room and shouted at, and now she was once again on top of him.
"Because when I walked in here, you were trying to kill her!" Shouted Vash.
"No, I was simply teaching her that's it not nice to wake people up by hitting them on the head with a pillow."
"You're trying to tell me you were hit around the head with a pillow by a human?"
"Yes."
"The mighty Knives, who wants to wipe out all humans? The great Knives?"
"Yes." Knives was beginning to get very annoyed, he did not need this from his idiotic brother.
"Woken with a pillow?"
Moving Meryl off of him, Knives grabbed a pillow and threw it at his brother. Vash was laughing so hard that he didn't notice, and it hit him straight in the face.
"My, my Knives, there's no need to be childish."
"That's a bit rich coming from you."
"What's that meant to mean?"
Both Meryl and Knives simply gave him a strange look, as it was obvious what it was meant to mean.
"Anyway, what do you want?" Knives growled at Vash.
"Oh yeah, I came up to tell you about a fair that's going to be happening soon, and Millie and I thought it would be fun to go. What do you think Meryl?"
"That sounds brilliant."
"Spending the day with crowds of spiders?"
"What on earth makes you think that you are invited to go?" Meryl got up from where she had been sitting, placed her hands on her hips.
"Good, because I don't want to go anyway!" Knives said in an almost childish way.
(Vash) Well that's weird, he's sounding much less up himself, and is talking more then is normal for him….hmmm…maybe the fact that he's spending time with Meryl is having a positive affect on him? Maybe, I s'pose if that's true, I'm glad; hopefully he'll finally be able to accept humans!!
"Now, now Knives, I don't think its wise to leave you here by yourself, and maybe spending time with humans will help you to see a new side to them!" "Excuse me dear brother, but in case you hadn't noticed, I am still not fully recovered from those injures you so happily gave me, so while you go to this little fair of yours, I would rather spend the time resting, don't you forget whose fault it is that I am this way!" (Injured that is)(Knives) How am I related to this idiot again? This is ridiculous, what makes him think I'd ever wish to spend time with even more spiders? The ones he allows to stay in this house are bad enough…especially the tall one, she's almost scary.
"Knives, stay behind," Meryl huffed, "I don't want you to come, you're a self-centered, immature prick, and you shouldn't be allowed in the mass population, because who knows what you would try to do?"
"I believe Meryl, that if the past is anything to go by, he'd probably try and kill everyone, but we're thinking positively! He's improved since then, I think he wouldn't react so badly to crowds now, and if he gets that way again, I'll just have to shot him again!" Vash grinned.
"Look broom head, I'm not a dog, I do not 'improve' nor do I 'react badly to crowds', I simply ha…"
"He's right Vash," Meryl interrupted "he's a hopeless case, he couldn't last 5 seconds at that fair."
"…!"
"I believe you may be right Meryl, we'll have to knock him out and tie to the bed while we're out" Vash said before Knives got a chance to speak.
"Ho….!!" Knives opened his month to speak again, only to be interrupted by Meryl for the second time.
"I think that's for the best Vash, its such a shame, but I believe we should have something to knock him out downstairs, I'm sure"
This turn in conversation, and the fact that they were so blatantly ignoring him, was starting to piss Knives off, he was millions Knives for gods sake, who would dare ignore a man who had killed so many people? These two idiots should be terrified of him, and not jokingly talking about knocking him out.
"B…!" He once again attempted to get a word, and of course failed.
"Don't worry about that Meryl, I was thinking more of just hitting him round the head really hard!" Vash grinned at this like a complete idiot. That was the last straw for Knives; he was not going to be cut off again, not by these idiots.
"I do not think so brother!" Knives yelled, face red from his anger " I shall attend this little fair of yours, not only to prove that I have far more self control then the both of you, but to prove to you, that these spiders (he pointed roughly at Meryl) need to be removed from this planet!"
At that statement Meryl threw another pillow at Knives, once again hitting him in the head. This made Vash burst out laughing, and before he could even think of some way to get revenge on the small woman, she'd left the room saying she needed to speak to Millie.
Knives was left in the room, not by himself like he would have wished, but with his brother, who was still laughing at the pillow that had collided with his head. He looked at his brother, and contemplated the best way to kill him. With a sigh he lay down on his bed.
"Grow up Vash," he growled.
For a while he stared at the ceiling thinking of nothing at all. The room became quiet without Vash's laughter; the only noises were the two men breathing. After a while Knives found himself drifting off. Just before he'd fallen into a peaceful sleep, Vash jumped up shouting:
"Oh yeah! Millie brought you a new book!"
Vash bounded into the hallway where he'd dropped the book. Knives sighed from the new headache that Vash had just given him, and watched as his brother ran happily back into the room, took a seat of his bed and basically threw the book at him.
He looked at it, thinking that at least he had something new to read, even if it was the big spider that had bought it for him, he could use it to ignore her and the rest of them. He mutters his thanks to Vash, who'd gone off on some tangent, which was blatantly ignored by all but Knives headache. He began to drift off away, and in his half asleep state, caught Vash's last question.
"What do you think of the girls then Knives?"
Just before he fell completely asleep, he answered:
"The big spider is annoying, but the little one you cannot have."
Knives rolled over and fell asleep, leaving Vash to stare at him in confusion.
Okay, I'm going to try and get better with the whole updating thing!! I swear, please review, if you don't, the cliff-hangers get worse!!!
