A/N: Hai, I know they don't get that big, but you gotta remember, this dog
has been experimented on and things like that. So, he grew.
Spike wandered around Elise's small apartment. She had a green couch in the corner. The same color that his hair used to be. It was torn in several places and it had a small number of computer parts on the side and a few printer paper packages (OGE: Say that 5 times fast.)
There was a brown table in the center of the room. It had a computer and a printer on it. The computer screen was going a mile a minute with its numbers and letters while the printer was steady hacking up paper.
Curious, Spike picked up some of it and read through it. He was a little surprised at what he saw.
It was about the Red Dragons.
" That was what they were after me for." Elise said from behind the paper.
" So you lied." He said; reading on.
" I did what I had to do. Not that it's any of your business." She said snatching the paper away.
" Hey!" He cried in protest.
" Besides, I have a job to do. There's at least 50 billion Woolongs worth of bounties in the Red Dragons. If I can take them all out, then I'll never have to lift a finger again. Well, except to type and steer I guess." She said shrugging.
" One question." He said.
" What?" She said turning to face him.
" Are you outta your mind?!!" He yelled.
" If you don't like it then leave!!" She countered.
" What do you think you're doing with this?! Those are dangerous people! No one for a little girl like you to handle!" He said.
" Little girl?! Let me tell you something Spike!! I haven't been a little girl in a long time!! And as far as dangerous goes, I know a little something about danger-"
She quickly pulled a knife from her hip and threw into the wall beside his head.
" -Myself." She finished; crossing her arms.
******************
Spike lay out on the slanted roof of Elise's apartment. He watched the smoke dance away from his cigarette. 'Elise' had certainly changed. She wasn't so innocent anymore. That, he concluded, was his own fault.
He wasn't around to protect Edward. He wasn't there to keep her from growing up like him. She wasn't supposed to be a bounty hunter. She was supposed to go off with him and Julia. Not end up like this.
He had seen her take apart and AK-74 and put it back together in under 5 minutes. This was not something he had ever wanted to see his self- appointed 'little sister' do. He wanted her to cure diseases, and get rid of criminals and stop the use of weapons. Things like that. But because he was gone, she was like him.
" That's what I get for believing I don't affect anyone else but me." He said to himself.
*******************
Elise sat on her bed cleaning out her gun and watching her computer screen search the city for any sign of the people that attacked her. She wasn't going to let them get away with what they did to her. She hated being shot at and she hated being cornered. Oh she was going to make them all suffer.
In her years of bounty hunting, she had learned the basic tricks of the trade and acquired her own sense of doing things. Lying was one of them. She didn't like lying at first, but she learned to deal with it and just spout lies without thinking about it.
She hadn't meant to snap on Spike like that. This was still a lot to handle. Her surrogate 'big brother' had been dead for 9 years and now he just appeared from out of nowhere and saved her life. She didn't understand everything, but Spike didn't worry about it, so she wouldn't either.
" What do you think Ein?" She asked.
Ein simply made an 'I dunno' noise/bark.
" Thank you so much for your input." She said sweatdropping.
