The Past Returns: Chapter Six
Two Months Later . . .
Vicious was the first one to deliver the first blow to the head, which Spike blocked easily with the pole and succeeded in striking his side and stomach. Vicious regained his strength and kicked Spike in the stomach and punched him in the ribs. Vicious then came above Spike and was about to bring the sword crashing down when Spike came with a spinning sweep that knocked Vicious to the ground, on his back, kicked him in the face, which caused him to bleed him the side of his mouth, and stepped on his sword.
"It's over Vicious".
"No it's not because I always win", with that said he dugged into the side pocket of his trench coat and pulled out a gun. He aimed it at Spike and shot him in the upper right leg.
This caused Spike to gripped his leg and scream out in pain. Vicious grabbed his sword as he got to his feet and came down with it to Spike's face, slicing his left eye.
"NOOO!" Spike screamed as he woke up from his dream of the past.
"Spike what's wrong?" Faye asked, who was wearing her peachish nightgown.
"N – Nothing", he answered, and then took off his white shirt that had become sweaty.
"It's 3:45 in the morning and no one just wakes up screaming for nothing".
"Forget it".
"I'm only trying to help, sorry I even care".
"Faye, look I'm sorry it's just that - "
"Wait", she interrupted. All of a sudden a wave of nauseous ness overcame her and put both hands to her mouth then ran to the bathroom where she threw up. Just as she was going to exit the bathroom her stomach flip- flopped and dived over the toilet. After about a good ten minutes she wiped her mouth, washed her face, and brushed her teeth, then returned to her room.
Spike walked up to Faye. "I truly am sorry. I didn't mean to get out of hand like that".
She began to get angry. "I don't know what's been up with you Spike. Lately you've been spacing out, having nightmares, and most of all acting like a jerk! And if you . . ." Faye paused in the middle of her sentence as a wave of dizziness came over her and put one hand to her head. She continued but, this time calmly. "I'm really not in the mood to discuss this right now. As you can see I'm not feeling all that well, goodnight, I'm going back to bed".
The rest of the night she slept peacefully whereas Spike decided to sleep in his bed for a change, where he tossed and turned.
When Faye awoke the next morning she found herself alone, still little angry from what happened in the morning she grabbed a pair of clean clothes and went to the bathroom the take a bath. However, as soon as she locked the door another wave of nauseous ness swept over her once again and vomited. When she was done she bathed for the longest time and changed into a loose pair of gray sweats and a dark blue tank top. For the past week or so she's been vomiting, feeling nauseous all the time, dizzy spells, and loosing her appetite for everything. She emerged from the bathroom and sat on the living room couch looking like a zombie.
"Look who's looking all glamorous for us today", Jet said sarcastically.
"Jet not now, I'm not feeling well at all and least of all not in the mood".
"When are you ever, besides no offense but you look like you've been to hell and back".
"Yeah? I feel like I have. It must be a stomach flu or something".
"Why don't you go find out? It wouldn't hurt".
"Spike's been under a lot of pressure trying to find Shin. I don't want to worry him about me seeing a doctor . . . but you're right. What he doesn't know won't hurt him". She got up but once again felt a dizzy spell overcome her and would have fell back if it wasn't for Jet holding her steady. She smiled to at him, her way of saying thanks, and proceeded to her bedroom while, Jet had a worry look.
"Hey Jet, I'm off to another bar. Maybe I'll have some luck today and run into Shin again", Spike said.
Faye appeared with the same blue tank top but wore a black pair of pants. Spike looked at her with a look that asked, "What's with the clothes?" Before he could ask she answered. "I decided that even a change is good once in a while", she lied not telling him that she felt awful. "I'll be back in a while . . . Jet is sending me to buy some parts for my Redtail".
Sensing she was lying he looked doubtfully at her. "Really? There isn't something you're trying to keep from me is there?"
"N – No. That's the truth, I'll be back in a few hours", and left.
Spike stared after her. "Jet, didn't she seem a little off edge? Unless you know something I don't."
"You're just illusionating. She told you the truth I sent her to buy some stuff. Really, I'm starting to think that this whole obsession in finding Shin is getting to your head".
Spike went off in his Swordfish to a bar hoping to find Shin but most of all he needed a drink. As he approached the door he heard muffling sounds coming from the back. He decided to have a look. There he found two men holding a bloodied and beaten Shin while Vicious himself pouched him. He took out his gun and fired three shots into the air.
Vicious looked up and smiled evilly. "Ah, so we meet again Spike. How are you, considering the last time we saw each other you weren't in the best shape", seeing him raise his gun. "This is non of your concern so stay out of it".
"You got all wrong Vicious. This is my business, not including the payback I still own you".
"I'm afraid the past three years your ego has grown more than your intelligence".
"What I would give to just kick your ass for five minutes".
"No one's stopping you. Unless you're afraid of getting the repeat occurrence of last time".
"Damn you Vicious!" with that Spike shot the two men who were holding onto Shin. He fell to the ground unconsciously and Spike carried him over his shoulder but turned back to Vicious. "You're just lucky I have some better things to do".
"Oh really? Just remember one thing Spike, now that I know you're on Venus and have
Shin in your procession you just better watch your back".
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Spike had gotten Shin on Swordfish and were now safely onboard the Bebop in his bedroom. He realized that Shin had three bruised ribs, a dislocated shoulder, which was now popped into place, and a wounded right leg.
"Spike don't you think we better take him to a hospital?"
"Jet you don't understand. Shin is the most wanted bounty and people would recognize him instantly who knows maybe they would even want to claim the bounty for themselves, we can't. Besides, I think we have everything under control".
"Damn you Spike . . . you just . . . had to get . . . involve", coughed Shin.
"Your welcome for saving your ass. With all do respect you look like shit".
Shin laughed. "You never change, same old you".
Sensing he was no longer needed Jet exited the bedroom.
"So, how about a little explanation. I'll find out sooner or later, it's better sooner than later".
"I suppose your right. After you left the Red Dragon he never did trust me with anything but let me continue being in the Red Dragon because I was the best guy he had. About half a year ago I walked into my room where I found Linda, my girlfriend, dying. She had been shot just below the liver and had internal bleeding. There was nothing I could do except be at her side. During that time she managed to tell me that Julia had done this to her and gave me a tape which she had hidden on her back, she then died". Shin coughed several times then continued. "I sat and watched the tape on it, it had Vicious killing the superior leader and that's when I learned that he had obtained leadership of the Red Dragon. When the tape was just about to finish Vicious entered my room and saw what I had watched. Blinded by my rage and hatred, I threatened to take it to the other superior members in the syndicate. At that point we dueled and I escaped, he tried to locate my whereabouts since then, failing to find me, he recently put my name under false charges in the bounty list for the highest bounty in history".
"Yeah 200 million woolongs, I heard. What's driving me insane is why did Julia kill Linda?"
"She's not the angel you left behind three years ago Spike. Julia's cold as ice now and second in command next to Vicious. I swear she like the robot that takes orders and accomplishes it no matter who she hurts or what it costs."
"I swear on my life Shin, Vicious and Julia will pay for what they have done to you".
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Faye finally returned to the Bebop and wore an expression of denial. She saw Jet was trimming a bonsai and tried to walk quickly pass him but it was no use. "Faye! What happened?"
"Oh Jet, I didn't see you there", she lied trying to sound surprise as much as she could.
"So, what did the doctor have to say?"
"N- Nothing, I'm fine the doctor just said it was stress".
"Cut the cram Faye. You're lying, I know you are, and that nervousness isn't helping one bit".
"I don't know what you're talking about".
"If you don't tell me what's going on I'll go directly to Spike and tell him where you really went".
"Damn it Jet! Okay, I'll tell you . . . I'm pregnant".
Second author's note: Wow, didn't see that coming huh? Well, the sooner I get more reviews the sooner I'll post the next chapter. And don't worry there'll be another longer and better confrontation between Spike and Vicious. Also, this fic has now turned into more of a drama than a romantic fic but, don't worry cause it will still have a Spike/Faye relationship throughout it!!! So, please Review!!! Until next time.
