Hey you guys! This is my very first Cowboy Bebop fanfic, so I'd really appreciate it if you read and review my work. As with all my other fics, I don't Own cowboy bebop or any other anime (as much as id love to) so you can sue me (as much as I'd love to be sued). Now on with the fic!
Tears of the Angels
Faye rolled over in bed and opened her eyes, looking out the window. The rain was pouring heavily outside, actually it's been that way since they landed on Earth. That was the way she felt. Sad, bitter and helpless, like each drop of moisture released from the sky, forced to endure this routine day after day. She watched a single drop soar past her window and land on her arm. She stared heavily at the raindrop, as if looking for something deeper. She always thought of raindrops as tears of the angels, but at that moment in time, it looked like water to her. The walls, looked like walls, and the floor looked like a floor. Everything looked plain to her. There was no use of anything, no for reason for living, there was nothing more. Ever since Spike died, she had no real reason for getting out of bed, or for that matter, for staying alive. Her family was long dead, she was a fugitive on the run, and the only man that seemed to make all that seem like nothing, was gone. He was gone and he wasn't coming back. Her eyes became red, and were starting to sting from the pain of her loss. He was gone. He had left her…knowing he was going to die, for another woman's revenge. He had died by the other's side, than to have lived by her own. She wiped bitterly at the tears that slid down her pale cheeks, and rolled over to look at the ceiling.
Spike never told Faye he loved her. That's probably because he never did. This thought crossed her mind over and over again. It seemed every man she gave her heart to, rejected her for another. Spike… was supposed to be different. When he spoke to her, she actually saw loving kindness in his eyes. She actually saw beauty on his face. Spike was the one person she didn't have to give up her body for, to be around. They weren't exactly nice to each other, but in their own way, they were. They fought for the one strip of beef together, they fought over the remote together, hell they even fought over the bounty together. And if the other was in trouble, they risked their lives to save each other. Wasn't that love? Didn't Spike really care about her, or was that damned Julia more to Spike than Faye ever was. The question hung in her mind, unanswered and unnecessary to be answered. Everyone had known, Spike loved Julia.
The little girl sleeping next to her rolled over and grabbed Faye by her waist tightly. Ed, the loveable redheaded girl cutting off Faye's circulation was back with the Cowboy Bebop again. You see she had run off a few days before, went to Earth looking for her father. It was bad enough that Spike had left, but Ed was gone too. Jet, "captain" was depressed for days. Faye was unable to speak. It was like two deaths in the family. Hell, three if you counted Ein, the mutt that Ed took with her. Jet would be damned if he'd like Ed or Ein go. He couldn't bring back Spike, but he could bring back Ed and he was determined to do it. So he had Faye run on a goose chase to get her and well, there she was, sleeping next to Faye. Last night she cried in the shower out of happiness to at least have some part of her family and life restored. Then she cried bitterly for the part that would never be restored. The part that was to forever be broken, and forever battered, The part of her that loved Spike.
She sighed again to herself and tugged the arms of the child off her waist. She pulled back the crisp white cotton sheets, with the heart prints and threw her legs over the side of the bed. Faye almost couldn't believe there were actually clean sheets on the bebop, who woulda thought that it would take Spike's death for Jet to get his ass up and do maintenance on the Bebop. Ah yes, the Bebop, the flying ship that Faye, Jet, Ed, and Ein occupied. Although everyone was more than happy to be there, no one seemed to do any work. The only person who did something was Jet, and that was cook and look after his damned bonsai plants.
Faye pulled herself out of bed, and wrapped herself in her white robe. Slipping on her cute pink slippers she picked up on Mars, illegally of course, she opened the door, and stepped out into the brisk hallway. Something happened and the heat didn't seem to work on the Bebop. I mean, the temp wasn't below zero, but then again it wasn't at room temperature either. She walked quickly to the bathroom, and closed the door behind her. The fresh black and white tiles were recently cleaned and the tub was sparkling and inviting. Faye turned the silver knobs and activated the shower instead. Even if it was only a few degrees of heat, she decided she would do her part to heat up this shit hole. Once the water was just the right temperature for her, about 100 degrees, she stepped in and raised her face to the falling water. Her short, purple hair instantly became stuck to her head, and her pale skin became flushed and pink. She looked up to the showerhead and watched the water come down on her. Her own hot tears joined the water and mingled with her body, before sliding quickly down the drain. Gods… she really did miss Spike. How could he leave… how could he? She begged him not to go…she even cried to him. But he left anyway…to revenge his love…. The love that was not her. She stepped back out the water and ran her fingers over her face to bring her back to reality. She was puffy from crying again, and her cheeks were becoming irritated. She really needed to stop crying over him.. she needed to get over him… please. She needed to go do something with herself, something that made her happy. She had to get off the Bebop, even for just a couple of hours. She placed her hand on the silver knob and turned off the water. She then quickly stepped out of the tub, into the hot moist air. She stuffed her wet feet back into her slippers, and wrapping herself in the white robe again opened the door. The cold air gave her goose bumps, and she hurried back into her own bedroom to dry off.
Faye may not have realized it, but she walked right through him…right past him… the same way… he had done her.
