Hello, all. People have been saying non-Ranma stuff should be posted, so 
I thought I'd whip out... ahem... post a collection of drabbles I'd 
written for a LJ community called 100 Bullets. It's a Trigun community 
focused on very short fics, usually one hundred words or less. Most of 
mine were spot-on, and edited to be so, as that was part of the challenge.

Thought I'd dig some of them up and post them in a little collection, 
just to generate some traffic that's NOT part of the big discussion. 
(Though I wish DB weren't banned, one of the few C&Cs I could count on 
was his.)

As to why some seem so odd... well, some are the results of challenges, 
and some are just the result of the fact that 100 Bullets likes to buck 
pairing trends.




- Motivation -

Knives really has nothing against humanity, per se. Sure, a lot of them 
are assholes, but then, there's the old adage that ninety percent of 
everything is shit. They'd have been tolerable.
But there's one thing Knives can't stand. One thing that has to be done, 
one way or another. Seeming to hate humanity, to want to destroy it, 
hell, even going ahead and destroying it. Because some things you just 
can't DO directly, it's not as simple and easy as pulling a trigger or 
plunging a blade.
Because Knives can't stand to be copied. Because he must be unique.

I don't get it.

- Wolfwood's Return [2] -

"Wolfwood?!" Vash yelped, jaw agape.
"You're... alive!" Meryl added, in a squeak.
"Um... yeah, guess so." Wolfwood patted himself down a little, glancing 
back and forth. "Not sure exactly how I got here, but... here I am."
Before Vash or Meryl could answer, Milly came around the corner of the 
house. Smiling, she called, without so much as a flicker of surprise, 
"Hi, Mister Priest!" And, without breaking stride, she swept a very 
shocked-looking Wolfwood up, put him over one shoulder, and carried him 
up the porch steps and into the house.
"... Poor guy," Vash said solemnly, shaking his head.

- Legato, Too [3] -

"Legato," Vash growled. "You're back too?!"
"... So it would seem," Legato replied evenly, despite looking a bit 
confused. He looked at himself, then up at Vash on the porch. "But as to 
why, I..."
Before Vash could answer, Knives swept up in a swirl of skirts and 
perfume, clinging to Legato's arm. "Leggy!"
"Master?!" Legato blurted, looking distinctly shocked. "... 'Leggy'?"
"I'm so happy to see you! I've been so bored since, well, a week after 
this happened. I learned a word called 'paizuri', let's try it."
"I, I, I-!"
Vash watched Knives drag Legato into the house. "... Heaven, or Hell...?"

- The Reason [4] -

Vash and Meryl sat on the porch, trying very hard to ignore the sounds 
of a very happy Milly, Wolfwood, Knives, and a very confused but rather 
pleased Legato from within.
"Was it to curse us?" Meryl mused.
Vash started to answer, but was interrupted by a sparkle in front of 
them. "Dammit, I can't finish a thought nowadays!"
"Hi!" The woman clad in a frilly yellow dress waved at them. "It's not a 
curse! I brought them back!"
"You?! Who are you?!"
"I'm the lemon fairy!" She waved her wand.
Suddenly, Vash and Meryl didn't care about 'why' anymore.

That one I get.  Funny.  I hope that guy who was doing the Ranma, Prince 
of Ruritania lemon comes back.  I'm afraid I scared him off.

- First Times -

Meryl sighed a little as she looked at Milly. Her large friend was drunk 
again, and in the mood to share.
"My first time," Milly hiccupped. "Was... with my big brother's... best 
friend..."
"Hope your brother wasn't there too."
Milly simply giggled, and took another swig from her glass. "How about 
you, Meryl?"
Meryl's cheeks flushed as a sudden remembrance of her father's automatic 
rifle came to mind... the butt had been rubber-padded, the ammo clip 
full, and after feeling it shake in her hands, she'd gotten the idea to-
"Y'know, Milly, let's talk about something else."
"Aww, phooey. Fine."

That one's pretty funny too.

	"Do stop smirking, Alucard. Seras, stay as you are."
	"Thank you, Sir Integra."
	"Awww."
	Sighing, Integra finally turned and flopped her arms over the side of 
the tub. "Taking a bath together just sounds sexier than it is, I'm afraid."

Well it works better if you actually have a big tub.
