A New Beginning After Your Death

Chapter one : Best Friends
-
Faye Valentine was walking down the streets at Venus. It was a rainy day
and the clouds covered the usually sunny sky. Venus was usually known for
its lovely beaches and magnificent sights.
But Faye wasn't here for a vacation or a nice tan, or to see the sights
Venus offered her.
No, she was here to visit her best friend, Sakura Yamato. They had met in a
bounty hunt. Everybody in the universe knew her for her bounty hunting
skills. Yes everyone knew her... everyone. That's how she met Sakura,
Sakura being the everyone.
But Sakura was a jealous person before, and she always came up to Faye,
challenging her. It really was pathetic, to Faye. But as time passed on,
they slowly formed a friendship... an unusual one but nonetheless a
friendship. The friendship came intense and they had formed a bond. One
would always be there for another. That's how it would always be. Sakura
would be the one person, Faye could pour her feelings to, and talk to,
especially after the death of Spike Spigedel.
Spike Spigedel was an attractive man, one Faye fell for. His hunter green
hair would make her swoon as it flowed with the wind. His height was
intimidating but it made Faye fall for him even more. He had unusual eyes,
one light brown and one dark brown, yet Faye fell always into
them. She loved them. It held integrity, bravery, and determination. But
that didn't matter.
It was four years since Spike had left, but she couldn't help think about.
She had left the Bebop and her fellow crew members because of him. Just as
he packed up and left, she did the same. Jet didn't stop her. He knew very
well that Faye would endure pain if she had stayed. He let her go, the same
way he did to Spike.
She had started a new life to forget about him, but she still was a strong
bounty hunter. Her attire had changed. She wore eloquent, long, outfits
that didn't show much. But the outfits were tight and they perfectly showed
her curves. Her emerald eyes shone brightly and it matched perfectly with
her peach complexion. Over the years, her lavender hair had grown
waist-length.
It made her look somewhat angelic, for a bounty hunter.
Almost every man turned to look at the emerald eyed beauty, and she liked
the attention. It made her feel better... special... yet sad. Because one
man in particular never looked at her that way. And it is obvious to us to
who it is.
"Why didn't he stay? Why did he have to go and die with the stupid blonde
Julia" Faye said, tears threatening to fall but she had hastily wiped them
away.
She had arrived at Sakura's apartment and now was talking with her. Both
were sitting at her balcony, sitting down on the beach chairs. They both
started at the people below them but were lost in thought.
Sakura knew everything about Spike and her past relations with him. She
knew the sorrow and grief her friend felt.
"Why did he choose her? Wasn't I good enough for him" she muttered, a tear
finally falling. She may have been a strong, tough, bounty hunter but she
was weak when it came to emotions.
"He was outta your league! Forget the bastard" she said, receiving a glare
from Faye. "I mean... forget... him" she asked nervously. "Heh... guess I
was out of line..."
Both were silent and they continued looking beyond the city. Faye wiped her
tear away and shifted a little. She sighed inwardly.
"I know what will cheer you up!..." Sakura perked up. Faye turned to her
and motioned her to continue. "...A new club opened up yesterday, and I'll
go buy you a Bloody Mary. Let's go..." she said, pulling Faye's arm
suddenly, jerking her up. Faye smiled.
"I should stop mourning for him. He's gone and that was all in the past."
"Yes"
"...I should concentrate on the future and what lies ahead."
"Say it loud" Sakura said. They both giggled at her statement.
"Thanks..." Faye said as she went into her room.
"For what..."
"For being a good friend." she replied, while Sakura smiled.
"That's what best friends are for..."
"We are best friends."
"Enough of the mushy, mushy part..." Sakura said while Faye laughed
lightly. "We got to pretty ourselves up."
"My beauty is natural, but I guess some people need to dress up..." Faye
said sarcastically while sticking her nose up in the air.
"Hey..." Sakura said as she playfully slapped her in the shoulder. "You're
hurting my feelings" she said pouting.
"Good."
"You're so mean..."
"I am the great Poker Alice. I'm supposed to be heartless..." she said,
knowing that it wasn't true.
"Yeah... but not towards me"
Faye rolled her eyes at this. "Stop whining Sakura and lets go. Don't make
me change my mind."
"Fine! Let me just change."
30 minutes later...
"Sakura if you don't get out" Faye started, but stopped when Sakura got
out. "Finally... I was falling asleep."
"Poor baby..." she retorted as she rolled her eyes.
"Shut up Sakura" Faye said.
It was very hard to believe these two girls were best friends. They were
like yin and yang.
Sakura was a cheerful, outgoing person. She was fairly pretty but could
never match up to Faye's beauty. She had short chestnut hair and deep,
oceanic, cerulean eyes. Sakura had endured a hard childhood life. Her
parents died when she was little. None of her relatives would take her in
so she had to live in an orphanage. She had to work when she was thirteen,
to support herself; the orphanage wasn't a good place to live. She grew up
alone with no one to love. Faye had made life enjoyable for her.
They established themselves as sisters, since they had no relations or
relations they could keep in touch with. Sakura is the oldest "sister" and
Faye is the youngest. They would be there for one another even if it was a
risk.
"Okay... lets go little sis..." as she led Faye to the exit of her
apartment.
"Huh... right. Let's go..."
"Faye-Faye..." Sakura said in a sing-song voice.
Faye growled. "You know I hate that"
"Hurry up then..." Sakura said.
"Coming..."
Faye smiled as she walked out with her. Smiling that she had taken a step
of her new life and by being "sisters" with Sakura.
