Alrighty, this is my first Cowboy Bebop fic so no flames please. You may
notice the ending is a bit different but that's just my version, kk? n.n
B.T.W. I do not own any Cowboy Bebop chars except Kaitlin. Well anyway, on
with the fic! Oh yeah, and please Review!
Spike took a deep breath. Vicious was dead now. He started his drudge down the steps. Then fell to the ground. It was over... He would be with Julia soon in Paradise... or the Underworld with Vicious. Whichever he ended up with he knew it was over. He flinched in pain then he suddenly felt a hand against his shoulder. He weakly glanced over and saw a girl there. With gleaming blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. He blinked softly.
"..Julia..?" He managed to say weakly, but then reached unconsciousness...
Kaitlin Marina had been involved in this because, like the others, Vicious had a say in it. She had been a normal girl, living in one of the colonies in space. When she was about 18, she met Vicious after he had been in a fight with a man who appeared to be in his twenties ( A/N That's in Jupiter Jazz parts 1 & 2. And in case you didn't know who the man was. It's Spike. n.n;; ) Vicious seemed to be drawn to her after she saw the fight, using the excuse that she was a witness and wouldn't be able to go back to her home. So she was taken hostage, she didn't retaliate though, for she was just biding her time, but then it seemed the man got to Vicious first, she had walked into the building, full of carnage, she was shot at a few times but narrowly dodged any blows that came her way. She made her through the building. Remembering the day she met Vicious and the man. She knew the man wouldn't remember her, because he had been shot with a tranquilizer right before her arrival, heck, she didn't even know his name, but she knew he was an ally, he had to be if he was after Vicious. Vicious had made a lot of enemies in his past, but now she had a feeling Vicious was dead. And the man probably wouldn't be to far from death. She started a running pace up the stairs and saw the man lying on the stairs, dying, and Vicious' carcass lying in a bloody mess on the ground on the top of the stairs, she ran over to the man dying at the foot of the stairs, and put a hand on his shoulder, then she heard him whisper the first word she ever heard him say.
"...Julia..?" He choked out, then suddenly his eyes closed and his head fell. She leaned down and laid his head on her lap. Checking the pulse in his neck.
'Still alive... barely... Gotta save him' She thought to herself. And lifted him up, putting his arm around her neck and holding him at the waist, she ran out of the building, but careful enough not to hurt him.
"Hang in there, dude. We'll make it..." She said as she kept her running pace, making it out of there and heading towards the nearest hospital.
Spike twitched his finger. There was cloth. He clenched it. It was a blanket... Where was he? He thought he was dead. He tried to open his eyes but it was hard, it hurt to move much. He made a small moan and was able to open his eyes. Seeing the girl once again.
"W-who..." He began but could finish, he was overwhelmed with a sudden surge of pain. He clenched his fist, feeling his eyes shut quickly, then he sighed deeply, taking deep breaths, then he felt a hand against his hand. Who was this person..? He opened one eye and saw her.
"You're awake?" She said, her voice not more then a whisper. Spike opened the other eye. Taking a deep breath he managed to say,
"Who the heck are you and..." He paused to take a breath. "Why'd you save me?"
"The names Kaitlin. Kaitlin Marina." She said, Spikes eyes widened somewhat. He was still weak.
"You're Vicious' accomplice..." He said. About to sit up, he knew he was in no shape to fight her, but he had to try. His ego told him too. She shook her head.
"Listen to me. It may appear so I see you've read up a bit on Vicious. He told everyone I was his accomplice so they wouldn't get to the real accomplices. I was but a hostage. I could've taken them of course but I've been waiting for the right moment." She said. Looking deep into his eyes. They were different... Different colors. Then Spike lay back on his bed. Nodding slightly and rubbing his eyes. She looked down at him. "Wow it didn't take much convincing. I figured it'd be hard for you to believe me..." She looked in his eyes again. The left one looked so much different. Then Spike blinked, and then figured out what she meant.
"My left eye sees the past..." He said. Kaitlin blinked. But nodded as if she understood. Then he sighed. Then suddenly said, "I haven't even introduced myself. Spike Spiegel." He said. Kaitlin looked down at the sheets on his hospital bed. Spike blinked and said. "Is Vicious dead?"
"Yes. You tore him up good. I think I saw a few limbs flying everywhere." She said even though it wasn't true. Spike smirked, he knew she was lying about that but figured she had guts to lie to him. He then looked at the ceiling.
"Kaitlin... Do you think you can do me one quick favor?" He asked. Reached into his pocket, apparently the doctors didn't think enough into putting him in hospital clothes. His top had been removed though, now covered with bandages, but his legs seemed unharmed, so they simply ignored them. He pulled out a communicator and slipped it out from under the covers.
"Call Jet for me. Tell him I'm heading back in Bebop for good now." He said and smirked. That sounded good. Things would be a bit different though, without Ed there. No more chaos. He simply shrugged. It would still be his old life. With Jet and Faye. As weird as it sounds he wanted that. To go back to the old days. Sometimes it was fun chasing after those bloody thieves, even though they hardly got any dough from it at all. Kaitlin nodded and clutched the communicator and punched some things in. Then Jet appeared on the monitor. He blinked.
"Who the heck are you lady?" He said. She blinked and grinned sheepishly.
"Kaitlin Marina. Lifesaver of your friend Spike here. He said he's coming back to Bebop once he heals for good." She said. Then she was Jet smirk a little.
"I never thought I'd see the day when Spike would be saved by some chick and not want to stick around with her." He said. Smirking more. Spike fumed.
"You shush, Jet Black!" He yelled trying to sit up. "Ah!" He fell back in pain. Kaitlin's eyes widened and immediately through the communicator aside and went over to Spike.
"You alright, dude?" She said quickly. He nodded grimly.
"Yeah yeah... And quit calling me dude! My names Spike..." He said. She grinned sheepishly again. She then looked out the window.
"The doctor said you'll be out in a week. You're lucky you didn't suffer more then you did." She said. Putting a strand of hair behind her ear. She sighed.
"What are you going to do?" He said. She blinked.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"For the week. I don't expect you to stay here the whole time." He said.
"Well, um.. I haven't really thought much outside having Vicious killed and rescuing you."
"What, you had my injuries all planned out?"
"No! It's just I've been just making this up as I go along... It's easier that way I guess." She smirked a little. Spike couldn't help it. A grin crept up on his face. She then sighed.
"Well I'm headed to the waiting room and taking a nap. I'll see you tomorrow okay?" She said and Spike nodded. She then left.
The week came and went and Spike and Kaitlin became pretty good friends. Then Spike was released from the hospital and Jet and Faye were standing there. Waiting.
"It's about time, Spike. We're on the trail of this new guy." Faye said. Grinning. Spike shook his head.
"I just recuperated, now I already got the chick on my case. Just my luck." He said sarcastically. Kaitlin laughed a little. Jet shook his head.
"You two will never stop bickering.. Well anyway we better head back to Bebop. This dudes worth 50 million." Jet said. Spike grinned.
"That's a hefty amount. Let's get going into Bebop and track this dude. What's his name?" He said. Looking over to Jet.
"Gray Saran." Jet replied. "He destroyed a colony east from here. I think it's colony 64.. That explains the hefty fine." Kaitlin's eyes widened.
"....6.......6...64?!" She yelled. "That's my home colony!"
Hehehe... Cliffhanger. n.n Well anyway I'll write the next chap soon. Oh and by the way please Review! n.n
