The Past Returns: Chapter Five
Everyone sat quietly in the living room, even Ed was quiet. No one dared to speak because of the tension that had now build up in the air.
"I now understand Spike. Don't worry we'll help you find and protect Shin the best why we can", Jet spoke up. "There's just one thing left I would like to know".
"What's that?"
"What happened after the fight with Vicious? I mean did he continue to hunt you down or just let you and Julia (at the sound of hearing this name Faye slightly moved around uncomfortably) leave peacefully? Or what?"
"Not exactly . . .
*FLASHBACK*
When Spike finally did regain consciousness he realized he was lying in a hospital bed. He glanced around and until he spotted her.
"Julia?" he asked weakly.
"Yeah, I'm here Spike", and came to his bedside.
"What happened?"
"After the fight with Vicious you passed out. I brought you to the nearest hospital where doctors treated your leg and well . . ."
"Well what?"
"There was much damage to your left eye and . . ."
"And what?" he impatiently asked.
"They had to replace it with a fake one".
With that said Spike lost all saneness. "ARGH! You will pay for this Vicious, I SWEAR YOU WILL!"
Julia was now crying. "You have to get a hold of yourself".
"How can I if Vicious has now scarred me for life?" he yelled. Seeing Julia now crying he clamed down. "I'm sorry Julia, you're right. Hey why don't we still continue with our plans and get out of here?"
"Oh Spike do you think we still can? Vicious is quite angry and probably will come looking for us. Once he starts he'll never stop".
"And what would you do to prevent that? Go back to the Red Dragon? Listen Julia I'm outta here this afternoon, take a walk and shake the fear out, then meet me at the cemetery. Our worries will now be over".
She nodded her head kissed him and left the hospital.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
"After I was released from the hospital I went to the cemetery and waited for her but she never came. I suppose she lost her nerve and went back to Vicious to beg for his forgiveness".
The Bebop then gave a hard shook. "I think we just entered Venus' atmosphere", said Jet and ran to the control room.
"Come on Ein, Ed is going to get her Tomato", and both Ed and Ein hurried off.
"So I guess Julia was a big part of your life. She would have to be because by the sound of the way you talk about her you must've been head over heels in love . . . you probably still are". Faye was getting up to leave when Spike stopped her.
"Listen Faye yes, Julia meant everything to me. But she's in the past; she means nothing to me now that I have you. Always remember you're now my everything".
"Do you really mean that Spike? Because if you don't it's better that you tell me now before things get too serious between us and -"
Faye was cut off by Spike. "It's too late now, things have already gotten serious between us and nothing will ever change that. There's this fire in you that drives me crazy, I love you Faye more than Julia. I'm yours now, all yours", Spike kissed Faye passionately.
Jet walked back into the living room. "Come one you two not again", he said. "Spike, you'll be happy to know that we've just landed on Venus".
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After the landing on Venus the crew decided to go separate ways to find Shin. Spike went with Ein, since he was after all a dog, he needed all the help he could get; Faye went with Ed, she printed a picture of Shin from Tomato. She had refuse to give it to Faye and Jet so, Faye didn't have a choice but to bring her along with her; Jet agreed to stay behind and watch Big Shot in case Punch and Judy announced some details about Shin. Each carried a communicator with them and Ed had told them that Shin had been seen at local bars around the city "Liva".
"Spike and Ein walked into a bar called "Live it Up". He sat at a table while Ein jumped on top of it.
"Can I help you with anything?" a waitress asked.
"Sure, have you heard of a guy named Shin?"
"Of course he's the most popular bounty being hunt down. The reports say he's killed
ten people and that he's armed and dangerous and and . . ."
"Yeah I know his background, what I wanta know is have you seen him around?"
"No, sorry. Almost everyone bounty hunter as asked me that and nope I've haven't seen him and I hope he doesn't come by either".
"Okay then, just bring me a beer". Ein barked. "And a bowl of water". The waitress then left, Spike glanced about the room seeing at the most sixteen people in the bar. "This is going to be one long night."
Meanwhile, Faye and Ed were at a bar called "Cocktails" and sat on stools, glancing around the bar. "We've been here for what . . . two hours now?"
"No Faye Faye it's been three hours. Ed knows cause Ed has a watch seeeee", she said and held the watch to her face.
"Hey babe, I've noticed your all by your lonesome self. What's a beautiful woman like yourself doing in a place like this, want some company? I'll make you feel a whole lot better" asked a man who came up to Faye and obviously drunk.
"Hardly, listen bozo why don't you beat it. If someone needs to feel better it is you, I mean if I looked like you I'll even feel sorry for myself".
"Why you bitch, I'll make you pay for that", he was going to slap her when Faye got out her gun and pointed it in his face. "Yes?" she asked. "I – I – I'm sorry. Sorry for bothering you and and . . . " "Listen if you want to apologize to me then you can do me the favor and never show your ugly face here again. Is that understood?" The guy nodded. "Good, now run away". He did as he was told and Faye continued to stare up toward the ceiling.
"It was a piece of cake", she said to herself.
A man who wore all black and hung his head down low entered the bar and took a sit at the corner of the bar, where the shadows kept his face hidden. He casually ordered himself a drink and glanced about the bar. The sun was setting and shined though a window that lightened upon his face. He quickly covered his face and the sun continued to set leaving the shadows to cast over him once again. No one saw him, at least he thought so.
"Faye Faye!"
"What is it this time Ed? Did Spike or Jet call us?"
"No Faye Faye but Ed just saw Shin person".
Faye quickly scanned the room but didn't see anyone. "What are you talking about?"
"Look at that man in the shadows Faye Faye that him! Ed saw with her own eyes, Ed saw, Ed saw!"
"You better be right", she spoke too soon because the sun shined on him again revealing his face. Faye's eyes went wide, it was him. "Ed locate Spike and tell him that we've found him". She left and approached the guy. He saw that this woman was coming close so he hid his face even more.
"Listen lady I'm not looking for company so you can leave now".
"You got me all wrong I'm not looking for company . . . Shin".
He glanced up and quickly pulled out his gun and pointed it to Faye. "Quiet lady. Now listen to me very carefully, we're going to walk out of this bar together and act normal". He put one hand around Faye's waist and the other held onto a gun that he had aimed to her back.
Once they were outside he pulled her up against a wall. "Who are you another bounty hunter or are you working for Vicious?"
"Neither, I'm here to help you."
"You're lying".
"No I'm not but believe whatever you want to believe. Just be grateful you're an old friend of Spike's or else I would already have you pinned to the floor".
"What? You know Spike?"
"Of course I do I'm a bounty hunter just like him. He heard of you becoming a prime target and set out to look for you".
Shin shook he head no. "You lie, Vicious sent you. Admit it!"
"She's telling the truth Shin", Spike spoke up. "So let her go".
He did and Faye stood by Spike. "We meet again Spike, how are you my friend".
"Great, which is more than I can say about you".
"Ah, yes that's true".
"Let me help you Shin, I own you one after all".
"I cannot let you get involve it's too dangerous. Until next time Spike", Shin then took
out what looked like a marble and slammed it to the ground. Thick white smoke then emerged and nothing could be seen but by the time it had cleared Shin was nowhere to be found.
Sorry it took me a little long to get this chapter posted, last week I had finals and spent everyday studying, argh! Anyway, I would like to know what everyone thinks about Spike's past, is it interesting? Boring? Please people I need the reviews so please please review, Thanks.
