Spike left the bebop, two days later. 'I have to find him. . . I cant have Faye getting in the way. Julia was too good at that.' He walked down a lonely street. Letting the rain smack him in the face.

"I'll be right behind you." Her statement ran though his mind over and over. "she'll just get hurt." He continued walking. Destination, unknown. 'all I know, I have to find that bastard, before we are scheduled to fight. I can feel it.' He turned a corner, and was surprised by the bullet that nearly hit his right arm.

Faye turned in the bed she and Spike shared, and sleepily to face an non existent Spike. She jumped up. "where the hell could he had gone at 2 in the morning?"

Faye raced out of the room, and checked to see if Spike had took his Hammerhead the second.

"no, still there." Faye pondered where he could of went, as she suddenly became aware a happy go lucky Ed was typing happily on her 'Tomato'. "ohhh Eddddd.." Faye smiled her 'I want something' smile Ed knew all too well.

"What does Faye-Faye wanty want want?" Ed asked, bright eyed.

"Where did Spike go?" Faye demanded, as she worriedly tapped her bootless foot on the wooden floor.

"Ed cant tell. Ed must keep the Spike masters secret! Edward wants to be chosen!" Fayes' eyebrow twitched as she sat down on the yellow sofa Spike had clamed his a long time ago.

"Ed, just tell me where he went, damnit!" Faye turned on the TV, as if that had the answers. Then she suddenly jumped up. "HE WENT TO FIND NATAKU!"

Faye looked helplessly at Ed, who just nodded. "HOLY SHIT!" Faye went back to their room, quickly changed from her pj's to jeans, and a shirt. 'I have to find him. I can't let him die. alone.'

Faye took her purple coat, and exited the Bebop, Ed turned around, and continued to type on her Tomato with Ein sleeping at her side.

Spike turned a corner, and was surprised by the bullet that nearly hit his right arm.

"I knew you would try to look for me." Nataku yelled out, hiding behind one of the many houses that have been set in the horizon, "Naughty, naughty Spike. My, my that isn't very nice. There I was trying to give you a chance to prepare for our FINAL battle, and you decline it. I told you Spike. The only person who could have killed me was Vicious."

Spike looked around. 'all the damn houses look the same. DAMN IT!' Spike had his .30 automatic hand gun out. 'this isn't going to help if I can't SEE HIM!' Another shot rang out, as Spike had nothing left to do, but hide behind a purple office building. The pouring rain making it especially hard to see.

"come, on Spike, stop hiding, it wont do you any good, you know! I'll tell you what. . . let's make this a challenge. Old western style! A showdown! On the count of three, we both step out, and slip our guns to each other!" Nataku said, with a nasty laugh.

'well, that's nice. I step out, and he has a back-up gun, or, doesn't put any bullets in it!' Spike looked around. "that's positively the dumbest thing I have ever heard!" he called out, surprised by a chuckle, and was blown to the ground, only to get right back up again.

"well, well, Spike. I didn't think you were THAT dumb!" Nataku said, standing before him, watching. 'he knew that was coming, I'm going to have to be less readable.'

Spike quickly pulled out his .30, and fired at the hairless man, he has hated for so long. 'got him!' his mind shouted with triumph, as he saw his 'superior' shiver in pain, hands clenched over his fat stomach.

"that. . . . wasn't suppose to happen! I was suppose to kill you! I promised him!" Nataku clashed to his knees.

"promised who?" Spike said, calmly, but impatiently, his face suddenly whipped from the triumph it once held.

"you should know, Spike, he was. . ." Natakus' life was cut short, as he took his last breath, then slammed into the hard wet cement. . . dead.

Faye's foot steps pounded the wet ground, as she ventured where Spike had been, not even 15 minutes ago. "WHERE THE HELL COULD HE BE?" The question raced though her mind, as well as her lips, as she turned the corner, and bumped into a startled, and bloody Spike.

"Spike!" her red lips gave way to the words she had thought for so long. "where the hell did you." she paused, as she saw the lifeless body behind him, and nearly collapsed. "who. . ." she let her voice trail off, as Spike dragged her away. . . the rain only coming down harder.

"I killed him. But. . ." he couldn't finish. 'how could it be? Was he lying, and if so, what the hell was he talking about?'

"why did you go after him. . ." seeing the delusional look on his face, she decided to ask later.

Faye supported Spikes' full weight, as she placed her arm around his waist, and his other arm over her neck. They slowly but surely made their way towards the Bebop.

Spikes' eyes were barley open, as he slowly followed Fayes' steps, only to pass out once again. As they entered the Bebop, they nearly slipped on the puddle of water that their wet bodies splashed before them.

"WHERE THE HELL WHERE YOU TWO?" Jets' voice boomed across the rather small 'lounge', as he rushed impatiently towards them, taking Spike away from Faye, who nearly fell over from the ache in her back.

"I'm going to get something to eat." Faye called to Jet, who had Spike nearly to his room, as Jet muttered 'been gone for three hours, you'd think they were blown to bits.'

"BLOWN TO BITS, BLOWN TO BITS. SPIKY-SPIKE AND FAYE-FAYE BLOWN TO BITS!" Ed stretched her arms out, and pretended to fly.

"How nice." Faye scorned, and entered the tiny kitchen, looked in the almost empty fridge and got some old stuff she couldn't recognize.

Spikes' dreams were cluttered with horrible thoughts of his past. Shouting and screaming. He was running 'always running. Why cant I turn around, and look back for one last time? Just one last time.' Vicious was cluttered in his dreams, and Nataku. The puzzling things he had said, baffled Spike. 'how could he not be. . . . and if it wasn't him then who?" Spike jumped up, and looked around the room.

"dark, pitch black." He said, and went to the window. "the stars of the lost souls." He could recall those words said by another, as Faye barged into the room.

"your awake. Go back to sleep." She said, and left the room. Leaving him to him self, his thoughts, and nightmares.

'if it wasn't Nataku, who was it? Who haunts me?' he wondered, laid down, and drifted back to a troubling sleep.
