Words That We Couldn't Say

"We couldn't say it so now we just pray them, words that we couldn't say. We couldn't find them so we tried to hide them, words that we couldn't say." - Song: Words That We Couldn't Say. Artist: Yoko Kanno

Things that are happening at the same time but in Faye's pov.

Every moment I pray for his return.but my silent prayer has yet to be answered. I've never been one to cry in public let alone privet. But now the tears flow freely as I sit in my dark room aboard the Bebop. 'That stupid lunk head! Why.why did he have to make me care! That son of a.' I couldn't finish my thought because my mind was over thrown by sadness. It's only been hours since he left and I know I'm over reaction but I know he's going to die. I still remember the warmth from his body when he told me about his eye. "That's IT!" I yelled fed up with waiting. "I am FAYE VALENTINE and I will NOT wait around for that.that MAN to come back." I shouted as I stormed out of my room slamming the door behind me. "Hey Faye be careful with my ship!" Jet yelled from the couch as she walked past. (Ed didn't leave because of my plot, the other title of this would have been "Ed plays match maker" but I heard the song and thought that was better) Ed was sitting on the floor of the hall to the hanger. "Faye Faye? Spike- person is coming back." She said as I stopped and looked at her. "How do you know Ed?" I asked as she grinned. "Cause Ed made sure of that!" 'What did Ed do?' I thought as I continued walking to the hanger looking up at the bullet holes in the ceiling. 'He didn't even stop when I shot those.' I opened the small door and walked into the hanger. I spotted the Redtail and pulled out my keys. Before I knew it I was off to the Red Dragon Syndicate center of operations. When I flew over the town I saw a huge explosion. "Shit!" I yelled knowing it was the Red Dragon H.Q. "Spike what the hell did you get your self into?"

*Same time, Spike's POV*

All I'm doing is running but I'm not running away from my death but strait to it. I got up after detonating the final bomb and ran to the elevator. Someone ran in a pointed my gun at him, Shin. "Shin! Where's Vicious?" I asked lowering my gun slightly ready for anything. "On the top floor. This way." He told me as we went to the highest floor we could. He walked out and turned a corner as I fallowed him. "Shin!" I yelled seeing a thug shoot him. I raised my gun and shot the man as he fell to the floor I ran over to my dieing brother. (that's his bro right?) "Please defeat... Vicious... Actually... I wanted you to come back..." He told me in his last breaths. I stood up defiantly. Vicious had taken everything from me, and now he had taken both Julia and my brother. All I want is to see him die before I do. I ran to the main hall and throw open the door.

*Faye's POV*

I heard another explosion as I ran into the now torn building. I ran up the escalator and found one working elevator. I ran in and pulled out my gun as it went up to the top. I then cautiously got out but stopped seeing Shin lying dead in a pool of blood. I walked over to him and felt for a pulse, one that would never be there again. "Shin." I said standing up feeling Spike's pain.

*Spike's POV*

After the explosion I looked up to see the beautiful nigh sky. 'Vicious.' He stepped down a large stair way as I aimed my gun at him his taunting voice filling my ears. "So you are finally awake. I told you before, Spike... that I am the only one who can kill you." "I'll return those words back to you, Vicious." I said. "Either way, we were destined to end up like this." I pulled the trigger, blood pouring over my left eye, and sprinted up the steps. The only thing that I could hear was the clash of metal on metal as Vicious cut my skin several times. Blood spurted from my cheek as I shot his Katana out of his hands but not before he cut my hand causing me to release my grip on if as it went flying over to him. He stopped it with his foot as I bent down and stopped his Katana. "Julia passed away... Let's end it all." I told him as he bent to place his hand on my gun. "If that's your wish." He told me as he shoved the gun my way and I shoved his Katana to him. I moved so fast I don't know how I did it, but next thing I knew Vicious was laying face down on the cold stone and I was still standing. My shirt's torn across my gut and bleeding but not profusely and there's something else but I can't see it but it's shining in the moonlight.

*Faye's POV*

I heard the entire conversation but I could do nothing about it because I couldn't do that to Spike even if it meant his life. He had to be the one to kill Vicious and all I would have done is got in the way. But now I could do something and I did. I walked out of the hall to the roofless floor. Spike was standing there. He walked over to large stairs that lead down to the ground. It was bright and I could hardly see. Spike had taken his hand and raised it in front of him "Bang." I heard him say before falling. "SPIKE!!!!!" I cried running to him. But before I could get to him something wrapped itself around my neck causing me to stop dead in my tracks. "My sweet Valentine?" He whispered in my ear. "You bastard Vicious!" I screamed finding some inner strength I never knew I had and flipped him over my head slamming him on the ground. He looked up at me stunned. I looked down at him with disgust filling my entire being. "S.O.B!" I called him walking over his dieing body applying extra force to every step of my white high heals against his cold skin. "Snake." I mumbled looking over to where Spike had fallen.

*Spike's POV*

I looked around me clutching my wound and turning to the stairs. It was getting to be morning and I saw syndicate members waiting at the bottom of the stairs for an explanation. One I couldn't give them because I could feel my life slipping or at least all me strength. With my last ounce of strength I smiled as I pulled my hand in front of me pointing my index finger like the barrel of a gun my left eye flashing the past that was only moments ago as I grinned on last time. "Bang." With that I fell. As I shut my eyes I heard a panicked voice call my name. 'Faye..' I smiled, but I don't know why I did. "Spike, Spike you can't die no!" She cried as a tear hit my face as she turned me over placing my head in her lap. I smiled up at her, still not knowing why. "I've died and gone to hell." I mumbled to her as she smiled. "If you can make a crack like that then you've gotta be okay Spike." She told me as another tear hit my face falling from her tilted cheek. 'Why is she crying, I though she'd be glad to get rid of me. Maybe make a second bathroom out of my room.' I thought as she cradled my head in her arms.

*Faye's POV*

I see him slipping away from me. He can't be dieing. No I won't let him! "Did you find out Spike if your alive?" I asked as he went limp in my arms and his eyes closed. Her voice became softer and further away as everything turned white, last I saw was a shimmering tear fall from the shrew woman's eye. Then nothing. I held him before a man came up to me and tapped my shoulder. "Miss what the hell happened?" He asked as I continued to cry into Spike's shoulder, his blood mixing with my tears. I looked up for my cheeks wet with tears and blood. "He found out, it was all a dream." I told him looking down Spike's stiff body. I saw something glimmering in the dawning light. I looked closer and saw a mesh like material lining the inside of his yellow shirt. 'What the hell is that?' I moved towards it and saw only a small hardly fatal slash across Spike's gut. 'But Vicious his Katana should have sliced him open like a fish.' I looked at the material. Then I looked back up at Spike's face. I felt his neck desperately looking for a pulse. I gasped and a new wave of tears flowed down my cheeks, he had a pulse, it was weak but it was there nonetheless. 'How did he only get that cut?' I thought as I fingered the strange material in the shirt. It was pretty tough but I had never felt anything like it. 'Hmmm. What am I doing!?!? I gotta get Spike to a hospital. I called the Redtail and picked Spike's arm up and put it around my shoulders.

*On the way to the hospital, Faye's POV*

It had taken a few syndicate members to help me get Spike into her zip craft. Why they had helped bets me. I'm now driving my zip craft to the nearest hospital. I look down at my lap and stare at Spikes never changing expression. 'He's alive but barely he's lost a lot of blood I gotta hurry!' I though as I pulled in front of the doors to the hospital. Somehow I managed to get Spike up and out of the zip craft and into the emergence room, in only 5 minuets. "Miss you'll have to wait out here." A woman in a white gauze nurses gown told me as she led me away from the room they had pulled Spike into. "No! No I must stay please don't make me wait out here." I begged her as she looked at me with stern eyes. "Miss your boyfriend's lost a lot of blood and there going to do a blood transfusion so they don't need someone in there to get in the way. I'm sorry." 'That's ALL I EVER AM! Someone who is always in trouble and always getting in the way!' I though tears streaming down my cheeks. "You can wait right here." She told me as I sat down on a bench a few feet from the door.

*Spike's POV*

I can't feel anything only pain. I can't hear anything only the soft sound of feet shuffling and people yelling only dulled. I can't see anything only a bright shinning tear falling from the untouchable woman's eye. I can't taste anything only blood pooling in my mouth. "Ahhhhhhh!" I screamed not being able to take anymore of this nothingness.

*Faye's POV, waiting and hearing the yells from the operating room*

I heard an anguished scream, 'Spike!!!' I thought my mind racing. 'What could be happening? Is he okay? He's got to make it out alive!.For me.' a tear dropped to my hand as the same nurse from before ran past me caring a kit with a red cross on it. "Nurse what's happening????" I asked grabbing her arm. "Miss he's passed out from loss of blood, they have to do the transfusion now before he leaves us." She told me releasing her self from my grip. I sat there waiting.and waiting.and waiting. Then I heard a loud long beep from what sounded like a heart monitor. I gasped in horror. "SPIKE!!!" I screamed running to the room and slamming the doors open and running in side. The doctor's heads snapped to where I was standing. My eyes flashed over to heart monitor an.. --^--^--^--^--^-----------
