Disclaimer: Trigun isn't mine. It belongs to Yasuhiro Nightow; I'm just using the characters, SO BACK OFF, COPPERS!

Warnings: This fic contains SHOUNEN-AI, or male/male love so if you aren't into that kind of stuff, I suggest you hit the back button... NOW! I don't appreciate flames from those who don't read the fine print, so if I get a flame from you, your ass is grass.

So, without any further ado, Cats and Mice...


The sound of the gunshot rang through the air. Legato dodged the bullet aimed for his head with ease. Vash glared and growled at the blue-haired man before him.

"Why do we play these games?" Legato asked. "This cat and mouse chase? It's becoming rather boring. Why don't you do us both a favor and submit." He walked toward Vash.

Vash backed away and kept on until his back hit the hard, cold concrete side of an abandoned buliding. The state of it matched the town it was in. Empty, desolate.

Legato grinned. "Look at that," he purred. "Cornered again. Just like a mouse. Now I know we were meant for our roles. Why don't you give up, Vash the Stampede?" He slowly licked the blonde's face. Vash grimaced at the feeling of Legato's wet tongue on his pale flesh. "The mouse will always lose in the end. Accept your defeat."

Vash's voice was strained and nervous. "Never! There's no fucking way in Hell I'll EVER give in to the likes of you!"

"So strong. I like you. The cat will strike; be on your guard."

"I'm always on my guard. The mouse will attack the cat!" The "mouse" beginning to play along.

"But the cat is in on the mouse's game. The mouse seeks death in order to escape the pain." He leaned in until his nose was nearly touching the blonde's, his breath cool on the other's skin. Vash's own breath was beginning to quicken.

"Why are you doing this?" the Plant managed to gasp out.

Legato ignored him. Instead, he kissed the gunman, whose eyes fluttered closed as Legato gently explored the trembling lips beneath his and was rewarded with a moan as his tongue danced with Vash's.

"Why are you doing this?" Vash repeated once he was released. "Answer me." His voice was beginning to waver.

The blue-haired man smirked. He was rather enjoying the Plant's discomfort. "It must be the way you look, Vash the Stampede."
