Staying up all night to keep watch over camp was stupidly boring. Not to mention having to do so by yourself! There were atleast ten of you and the guy,what was his name? Gyro? Had passed out a long time ago. You tried to be mad at him but you could see the man had gotten shot several times,so you let it slide.
You checked your watch,four thirty at night,your shift would be over once the sun rose. Which sucked major balls,why did you have to be the last watch?! It was probably cause you were a woman! Stupid egotistical men! Oh well,no use crying about it now.
Picking up a large stick you stuck it into the medium sized bon fire. You often checked, every five to ten minutes, that everyone was safe. No Scorpions on anyones hat,or poisonous spider ready to bite someones hand off. Nothing dangerous,good, now it was time to check the horses.
"Venta,come here girl" at the sound of her name being called your pitch black horse made its way over to you, "good girl" you planted kisses all on her muzzle,which she returned with messy sniffs of your hair and face,"ewww heh,you been keeping guard for me?"
She blinked and nugged your hand,clearly wanting to be scratched.
"Ill take that as yes," you yawned,teetering on your feet, "you know what Venta? I dont think I'll be able to move tomorrow" your sleep pattern was completely thrown off! Flopping next to her,while keeping the buring stick far from your face you started to hum, "I dont want to set the world on fire,I just want to start a flame in your heart~" you cant remember the name of the song,only that you'd heard it once in a bar.
"I'v lost all ambison,or worldly acclaim,I just want to be the one you love~" resting you head against the rock you stared deep into the fire and continued singing to Venta softly,unknowingly that you'd already woken a few of the riders up.
"Johnny, hey! Johnny! Wake the hell up!" Gyro rolled one of his steel balls into his friends face.
"Wha?"
"look at this" he lifted up his shirt,revealing the bullet wounds from last nights shoot out to claim this camping spot near a watering hole. His skin was growing back,the metal from the bullets came fall out of his injuries too not even leaving a scar. "Hey move your hat out of the way!" Gyro pulled his star covered at back and sure enough the gun wound scar that he'd gotten from that time reversing bastard was gone.
"And I feel better too! Who do you think the stand user is?" Among the sleeping bodies that shifted in sleeping bags and blankets neither of them could tell,it was too dark,even with a first fews beams of dawn cracking.
"In my heart i have but one desire and that one is you no other will do~"
The soft singing of a woman caught Johnnys ears. Someone else was up?
"Iv lost all ambition, or worldly acclaim I just want to be the one you love and with your permission that you feel the same,Ill have reached the goal im dreaming of believe me~" he couldn't see her face very well but it was clear she was up and awake longer than either of them as she dropped a stick that had fire on the end of it onto the ground.
"Think she's a user?"
"Theres also a possibility that she's a terrorist,dont let your guard down" Johnny dug for his pistol inside his sleeping bag while Gyro undid the straps holding his steel balls in.
"But don't you think its weird?"
"Iv seen alot weird shit these past few days Gyro,gotta be more specific"
"Let me finish asshole,don't you think its weird that if she was after us and the corpse she would have done something by now?" He flexed his arm and flicked his wrist, "because I feel alot better than I did last night" he watched the woman stand and pet her horse then dig for something in its bag.
