A Gangsta's A Gangsta

AN: teehee back for more eh?

*Eve of Discovery*

I hissed. The man eyes widened in terror but then quickly shrunk back to normal size as he tried to calm his nerves. I hear a crack of a branch and my eyes flicked to the origin of the sound. I saw a man hiding behind a bush. 'Shit he's got back up!' I though as my eyes flicked back to the man holding Faye. "Hello." He replied in the same raspy cold voice. I didn't even see it coming, I never had a chance. He moved his gun from Faye's temple to pointing at me and fired. It hit my shoulder and sent me reeling backwards. I watched as blood flew through the air as I fell backwards. My leg hit something hard and cold, the edge of the fountain, I kept falling. The cold almost ice water splashed around me as I fell in. "Spike!" I heard Faye scream as I took a gasp of breath then fell beneath the icy depth of the fountain. Through the now blood redden water I saw the man smirking over the fountain. My whole body became cold; it must have been from the water or was it the icy hand of death coming to take me finally. It was a strange feeling; my face was freezing by my eyes and lips where warm. I felt light headed as I tried to rise to gasp for air but the man shoved Faye away out of sight then grabbed my neck and started to squeeze. Everything went black but I could feel my body being pulled out of the fountain into the freezing air.

*Parts Unknown*

I felt something warm leaning against my shoulder and something soft tickling my cheek. I opened one eye and saw the top of my purple haired beauty. My eyes shot open and I jumped to wrap my arms around her but cold metal dug into my skin when I did. My arms where cuffed behind me to the wall that I was leaning against. The jolt woke up Faye and she looked up at me panicked. "I did it again..." She whispered touching my face with her warm hands. I looked at her dirt-smudged face puzzled at what she was talking about. "What are you talking about Faye?" I asked her as she brushed stray hairs out of my face. She looked down for several minuets trying to decide the best way to tell me what ever she was going to say. I heard footsteps echoing in a far off hallway and Faye stopped and looked up at me tears running down her cheeks making the dirt smudged there run. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and tell her everything was alright and that I was there, but I couldn't tell her that I couldn't even touch her with my hands. "Don't worry Faye." I whispered to her ear as she buried her face in my shoulder. In the cell that Faye and I where in was a door that now was slammed open with a loud crash. I heard raspy breathing as a small trickle of light flooded in. I saw a male form silhouetted in the doorway. He stepped forward and to where Faye and I where chained. He kicked my legs as I glared at him with all the hate and hostility I could muster. Faye clutched at my jacket as the man kicked my back away from the wall to gain access to the handcuffs. I heard a click and felt my hands freed from the wall but not from the handcuffs. I felt blood run onto my fingers from my wrist as the handcuffs cut deep into my skin.

He pulled me up as Faye cried out. "Shhh..don't worry I'll be back." I whispered to her before the man jerked me backwards. "Spike!" she screamed as I heard the man shoved me out of the cell and I fell to the ground in the hall. I heard the door slam shut as I opened my eyes and saw the cold stone. I saw the shadow of the man and considered it for a moment then made my move. My legs weren't chained together and that was very stupid of them. He walked towards me, one leg on either side of my two legs together. I quickly spread them out. He lost his balance but not before I kicked my right leg up hitting him in a man's most venerable area. He moaned then fell over hitting his head on the stone floor. I saw the keys fly through the air and slide under the door. "Shit!" I yelled getting up with some difficulty and running over to the door hitting it with my shoulder. "Ahhhhh!" I screamed as the pain of my former injury burned deep in my shoulder. "Faye!" I screamed through a small opening in the locked door. I heard movement in the cell and then Faye's tender voice calling to me. "Spike what happened?" She asked me as I tried to think of an idea. "Do you see any keys on the ground of the cell?" I asked her as I heard her bend down. "Yeah!" she called. I couldn't help but grin like an idiot. "Try and open the door with them." I told her as her slender pale hand came through the opening and reached down to the lock. She fumbled a few times but I told her which way to go and she was finally free. She threw open the door and ran too me almost causing me to fall over. "Ahhhh! Faye my shoulder." I whispered as she pulled away suddenly. "Sorry." She blushed and turned me around and undid the handcuffs.

"What would you do with out your Faye?" she whispered in my ear kissing my neck. I closed my eyes reviling in the sensation that I hadn't felt in was seemed like forever, but I had to get that asshole who kidnapped her in the first place. She pulled away first and pulled her hand to her mouth in a silent gasp. I turned around at her sudden movement. "What is it?" I asked her as she turned away. I touched her shoulder but she moved away from me. "Faye?" I didn't know what was going on in her head so I left her alone. I bent down and grabbed the man's gun and reached out for Faye's hand taking it no mater what. She didn't move away but let me take it, which just confused me even more. "Come on." I whispered as she turned around not looking me in the eyes. She moved along with me as I started walking. I held the gun in front of me when I turned every corner. The halls where all dimly lit only by a single bulb hanging from the ceiling every 20 or so feet. We finally found a hallway with an extremely bright light coming from the cracks above and below and around the door. I looked over my wounded shoulder at Faye and motioned for her to fallow me. We crept down the hall and reached the door. I slowly reached out and grasped the knob. I breathed deeply and thrust it open pulling the gun in front of my body aiming at anything that would move.

The room was completely white except for the black chair at the very end of the long and narrow room. Clichély the man who had the raspy voice turned around in his chair swiveling. "Bravo Mr. Spiegel and Miss. Valentine." The man said clapping. The noise echoed in the quiet room. I looked at him through narrowed eyes. "What do you want with me and Faye?" I asked as Faye hid behind me. The man got up and walked around to the front of his glass desk. He pulled out a cigar from a cream colored humidor. He sniffed it longingly then brought it to his lips and lit it. He took a long drag and let the smoke encircle his head waving his hand around dramatically letting the smoke from the lit cigar waft to where Faye and I where. "You know something Mr. Spiegel.the black widow spider is a very unique creature. First the female finds a mate and loves it. Then one day she turns around completely and eats it alive." He let his cigar fall to his desk and I saw something moving that resembled a spider; he crushed it with the cigar maliciously. "Kind of relevant to our situation over 8 years ago right Miss Valentine?" He asked as I thought about the analogy. "That's bull shit! They screwed us on a deal first!" I screamed as Faye moved around. "Their boys almost killed Faye." I screamed pointing the gun at the man's head and firing letting it blast by his ear. He grinned but I could see the relief in his eyes, "Nice aim." He muttered. "I missed." I hissed at him.

"So you and Miss Valentine are the last of the glory of the Mars' Crime Syndicate Circuit?" he snide. "The Red Dragon Syndicate's last members right in the palm of my hand. In the palm of the hand of the leader of the Black Draco Syndicate's leader." My eyes widened as those words rang through my head. "Zao!" I gasped lowering my gun. "That's me Mr. Spiegel." He grinned. 'Mao's brother.a man that I admired almost as much as Mao himself was trying to kill me and the woman I love.' My head rushed and the room started to spin but I stood tall. "What is it you want revenge? Why kill us? It'd be like killing your brother." I told him as his face softened. "Mao.." He trailed off. I knew I had hit a soft spot in this hardened creature. I looked down at the white floor stained slightly with blood falling from my wrist. I left my arm extened still aimed at his head. "If we are the last then that means that I am the leader of the Red Dragon Syndicate right?" I asked him looking at him through my bangs. His head snapped up meeting my gaze. "I do believe that is correct Mr. Spiegel." "Then can I, the leader of the Red Dragon Syndicate, ask to forge a bond that was once broken to be renewed again with this new generation." I looked at him full in the face. He grinned; he was not like me a beast that fed on the blood of others driven by that blood that resided inside my heart. "As my brother used to say as a child "it's a done deal." He walked to me and shook my hand as I put the gun away. He looked to Faye but didn't look in her eyes. "Miss Valentine I'm sorry for all the pain we've cause you." She looked at me bewildered then to the old man bowing to her. Her face softened into a grin that I loved. She pulled him out of the bow and hugged him. "You're forgiven Mr. Zao." She released him as he bowed. "I shall give you a third of my best men to get you back on your feet." He smiled and walked to his glass desk. I looked over at Faye but she didn't look at me even when I touched her shoulder. "Faye?" She moved away as I saw a tear fall from her eyes. I grabbed her shoulders and turned her to look into my eyes. She closed them as she cried out. "Spike no." she cried. My eyebrows knitted together in frustration. "Faye you can tell me anything what happened?" I pulled her close to me as she clutched my jacket crying. "I'm sorry..I'm sorry.." She kept repeating it. "Oh Miss Valentine we have your son.."
