A/N: Watched Rango like a bunch of times and have latterly fallen in love with Jake. If you didn't watch rango then go watch it "it's very funny".

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters rango or Jake. But I did add a few of my own based on the movie.

Venomous Love

A few years after his meet with Rango Rattlesnake Jake set off on another journey. A man by the name Raven Blade had challenged Jake to a showdown in the town of silver (Known for its great silver mine). See years ago before Jake met Rango he was at the town of silver out to find gunslinger Crude Blade. During the battle Crude lost his life leaving his wife and only son Raven. Later that year in a deep depression over the loss of her husband Ravens mother hung her self. From that day Raven swore revenge for his mother and father he would learn the way of the gunslinger and murder Rattlesnake Jake.

Jake slithered up to Raven a devilish grin crept up his face as he barred his fangs. "Raven Blade you're almost as popular as your father" Jake chuckled.

"Yeah and I did it all to kill you..." said Raven as he glared at Jake.

"I'm flattered, let's get this battle over with I'd like to dine on my dinner early tonight" Jake said a hissing chuckle seeping out of his mouth. Jake twirled his gun admiring then slight jump of fear it sent through Ravens body.

Around the corner a young raccoon girl grabbed a pure white haired cat's hand stopping her from moving toward the gun fight. "Gaby don't go that way there's gunslingers' fighting its dangerous" said the raccoon.

"So what I've been saving up a whole bunch to buy a new chain for my mother's locket, I'm not going to let some stupid drunken gunslingers get in my way" Said Gaby ripping her hand free and walking towards the gun fight.

Raven held up his gun to shoot when Gaby walked behind him, in a flash Raven had pulled Gaby into his arms and pointed the gun to her head. "You shoot ill kill her!" declared Raven cocking his gun.

"Tisk tisk raven I thought you were a gunslinger you should know better than to use a woman as a shield" Jake chuckled maniacally. Jake glanced into Gaby's eyes and stopped chuckling, instead of fear he saw a driving anger building and building.

Gaby growled deeply as she grabbed Ravens arm and flipped him onto his back kicking him in the stomach. Gaby glanced over at the jewelers to see that it had been destroyed from their battle. "You ass! Do you know how long it took me to get this kind of money! And you had to go pick a stupid fight and destroy the god damn store!" Gaby yelled kicking Raven once more and walked off.

Jake smiled big "What an interesting girl". Soon Towns people gathered to see another one of Gaby's work. "Who is that girl" Jake questioned looking at the baker.

"That young lady is Gabbetha, but most of us call her Gaby. Her mother died on her third birthday, then her father murdered by bandits looking for some cash" said the old man.

"So she's an orphan now?" asked Jake looking at where Gaby walked off too.

"Well not much anymore tomorrow is her 18 birthday she will be a legal adult then. Don't go messing up her life she's a good girl she gets enough trouble every day" said the old man glaring at Jake.

"What do you mean trouble?" asked Jake.

"She's a white cat, a purebred. She would be very expensive on the slave market, not to mention her natural curves and healthy body makes her sexually attractive and a good mate." Said the old man sighing happily.

"You...Know a lot about her don't you old man" said Jake looking at the man in suspicion.

"I may be old but that doesn't stop this geezer from dreaming of marrying a pretty lady like her" Laughed the old man.

The sun had set and Gaby had quit looking for another chain for her mother's necklace. "Stupid gunslingers always causing trouble" she sighed.

"Hey there pretty lady, what's a thing like you doing out so late?" chuckled a man walking from the alley way other scuffed up men following behind him.

"Get lost! I'm not in the mood for trouble" said Gaby slightly annoyed.

"Oooh feisty little kitty aren't you" chuckled the man once again.

"Be careful this might claw something special off, that's if you ever had any" said Gaby winking.

"Ttcchh" growled the man.

"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue…" giggled Gaby.

"I think its time to punish this kitty" growled the man.

The men went to grab Gaby when suddenly repeated gun shots were heard a few seconds later all the men fell to the ground dead. "If the kitties don't get you the snake sure will." said Jake.

Gaby turned to Jake looking at him "you're the guy from this morning".

Jake blinked from his daydream and looked back at her stuttering into a yell "I am…. Jake Rattlesnake… I… mean Rattlesnake Jake…yeah…Rattlesnake…Jake…He he…"

"Uh yeah I'm Gaby" she said looking confused "the …cat?"

Jake chuckled at her comment slithering over to her; he lifted up her hand and kissed it.

"How did you know I was here?" questioned Gaby trying to ignore the kiss on her hand.

"I was just walking around, I want to thank you…if you hadn't gotten in the way I would have had to kill another kid" said Jake smiling at her.

Gaby looked up at Jake studying him he was taller than her, but what really got her was his almost hypnotizing eyes. It was like he was reading her soul, she had heard that snakes eyes were dangerous but as she looked in them she saw something deeper though well hidden Almost like he was…no he couldn't be. Gaby snapped back to reality when Jake jerked his head to look behind him, all that she saw was a foot disappears behind the wall while dirt flew in its old spot.

"Looks like we were being watched, if you don't mind I'd like to escort you to your house. They might go looking for you to get revenge" said Jake "tell me why did you need to go to the jewelers so bad?"

"My mother's locket…the chain broke and I wanted to get a new one" said Gaby looking down as they walked to her house.

When they arrived at Gaby's home which was just outside of town Jake stopped at the steps and looked at her. "Well it was a pleasure meeting you Gaby" said Jake.

Gaby suddenly felt fear not of the men but…because Jake was leaving; she reached out her hand to stop Jake. "Wait! Don't go…" Gaby gasped putting her hand down. "I…I mean I must have you stay the night…Its only fair payment after you saved my life."

Jake stared at her in shock but when looking in her eyes he saw fear, he sighed smiling slightly the nodding as he opened the door for her.

"BOSS! BOSS! I got good news" yelled a short turkey as he ran in almost flying to the room.

"Reggy! You have better have some good fucking reason for barging in so rudely" growled a man sitting in a office chair.

"It is seeth…I mean boss, Its Gaby! She's been spotted in a town called silver" said Reggy excitingly his feathers flying everywhere.

"Gaby…" whispered seeth a wicked grin crossing his face.
