After the announcement that Vash was taking over the ship, Ryoji had decided to walk the halls and get a taste for how people were taking it. After the hoopla on his jounral, he was intrested on how their eariler words would hold up.

So the fact that he passed Vash's door was totally on purpose. Finding the flowers were not. He blinked, leaning down to theread the card.

The grin on his face was pure evil.

So was the girlish squeal that floated down the halls.

"BABY SHOWER!!"

"What?!" Vash yanked open his door, blinking in surprise at seeing the crew member on the other side of the door. That was... "Ryoji, right?" he asked, before looking both ways down the hall. He didn't see what all the yelling was about...

That was when he happened to look down. The flowers only made him look even more surprised, and he scooped them up hastily, reading the card.

His face turned redder as he continued reading, until he'd reached the end and very nearly crumpled the card in his fist.

Vash's first thought was of seeing Ness and Joshua at the hotel last night. More unfortunately, the first thing he said was, "How could he?! That cad!"

Ryoji didn't need more then that. Vash had practically confirmed everything himself! He cackled.

"Oh man, that rat. Poor Ness~" He purred, winking. "I gotta tell the crew!" He hooted, taking off at a jog.

"Wait - what do you mean, you'll tell the crew?!" Vash shouted it after him, before throwing the flowers back on the floor, running after Ryoji. He hadn't even closed the door to his room.

"Hey! GET BACK HERE!"

Ryoji laughed as he, well, pranced away. He had no idea the whole story behind Joshua's note. He was too new to the crew. He had just assumed this was a joke on Vash (which it was, in a way). Maybe a long running joke about Vash and Ness in some relationship? Or a real one for all he knew. And this Josh was in the middle of it? He didn't know, but it was FUNNY.

It never occured to him that he could be stomping toes with his joking. It really didn't.

He pulled up his journal, which he kept on a shoulder strap and waved it at Vash. "Maybe a public post would be easier~?"

"AH! Put that down!!" He did not want the crew knowing about this! He wasn't thinking of Joshua's flirting, as embarrassing as that could be. No, he was thinking of how hard it would be for Ness if the news about his pregnancy got out! While Vash didn't approve of what they did behind closed doors, Joshua's lack of tact just made it worse!

He paused for a moment, making a show up pulling up his sleeves, then charged right towards Ryoji. Vash figured that, in a situation like this, trying to tackle a younger crew member was a perfectly acceptable way to deal with this problem.

It didn't even occur to Vash to just try ordering him to stop.

Ryoji had kept laughing at Vash's flailing, not really moving fast or turning on his journal. It was all in good fun after all.

That was until he saw Vash dash at him. He squwaked like a startled bird and darted forward, going into a full out sprint. He was faster then most,but Vash had a head start. If he had any chacne of escaping, it would be close.

He kept running, determined to stop Ryoji from doing something that disastrous. Vash was already covering the distance well, all he needed was that extra foot...

And then, when the time was right he leapt! ... and missed by a narrow margin. His fingers had brushed Ryoji's leg, but that was as close as he got. Vash hit the floor, face-first, actually sliding a little until he stopped.

Ryoji spun on his heels to laugh at the new Captain. And to make sure he was alright. Once he was sure he darted away again, hiding in a broom closet and getting out his jounral again.

Oh this was about to get EVEN BETTER.

Vash took his time getting back up to his feet. His face felt like one big bruise, but other than that, it was mostly his pride that was hurt. That kid had been laughing at him! As soon as he caught up to him, Vash was... going to do something unpleasant. He hadn't decided just what yet, but he was sure it'd come to him.

He stalked slowly through the halls, uncommonly quiet now, only the faint squeak of his shoes against the wood sounding to give him away. He'd heard a door close; Ryoji couldn't be too far away. Vash just had to keep his ears peeled, and wait.

A tiny giggle escaped Ryoji from inside the closet as he typed away on his journal. He quickly stiffled it behind a hand, but he wasn't trying very hard to hide...

After all, what could Vash do to him? It was just a game after all~

There! He could hear sounds coming right from that broom closet! If it only turned out to be one of the cats or Giselle's mice, then Vash would be out of luck, but if it really was Ryoji... he was going to do his best to make an impression.

He walked up to the door, pounding it on three times before trying the handle, giving it a little push. The door creaked open, slowly, showing Vash standing there right in front of the doorway, the lights from the hallway leaving the front of him cast in shadow.

"You're cleaning toilets for a month!"

Ryoji squeaked, tucking his journal against his chest. He grinned sheepishly up at Vash, his eyes huge.

"Heheh... hi?" He muttered, rubbing the back of his head and chuckling weakly.

Did Vash feel bad about scaring him? Only a little. He was hoping the scare - and the punishment - would be enough to convince him that running around with rumors again would be a bad idea.

"Hi." Smiling grimly, he reached out to grab Ryoji's scarf, stepping back to tug him out of the closet. "Now, are you going to keep quiet about this, or do you want to make it two months?"

To say Ocelot was unhappy with the situation was something of an understatement, but what could one do but plan around it? Of course, he had plenty of resources to keep things under his control.

So, it really was no coincidence that Ocelot had also headed for Vash's door, although his plans were much different from-and, possibly, more sinister than-Ryoji's.

Of course, as he'd arrived a smidge later than Ryoji, his plans were foiled for the moment.

"...What's this?" he said as he walked closer to the door, giving the young man a vaguely confused look.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem as though an answer was forthcoming, because Ryoji and Vash were somewhat too preoccupied with chasing and yelling at each other.

Kyouya pressed himself to the wall to avoid collateral damage, merely watching as one pranced and the other rampaged down the hallway. He stared after them for a moment, and then picked up the scrap of paper that they had left in their wake.

"A symbol of our wonderful relationship together. See you next time I'm on the Winding Way, Vash. Signed, Joshua. P.S. Oh, and I suppose this is something you should know. Ness is pregnant," he read aloud, brows raising.

Well. That was answer enough.
