Disclaimer: I don't own cowboy bebop, Spike, Faye, Jet, or Ed and Ein. Thank you the people that do own them for reminding me that I don't, now excuse me while go cry at the realization that I never can or will own them. And if I did this is how I would make it all turn out, not by offing Spike. And I'm sure all Spike fans are with me on that, now if you will here is the way I would make it happen, or a least the part of him living cause this story is kind a spur of the moment thing. Thank you and enjoy!

"The Gods Have Blessed Me With A Curse"

By

Kanoka

Faye sighed they were back on Mars again after six months, back where he..no "Damnit" she mentally cursed herself. She had to stop thinking about it, he was gone and there was nothing she could do about it. Signing again she walked into the hanger, the sun spilled in through the open hatch, revealing the Redtail sitting alongside the Swordfish II. She didn't know why they had gone and gotten it after.after the incident, hell she didn't even know why they kept it, but they had.

Ed and Ein where back with them again all of the crew together, she looked down at the ground her brow crinkled, the only one missing was him. "Damnit" Faye cursed this time out loud he was still always on her mind, Faye closed her eyes laughing to herself "Even in death you annoy me spike."

"Glad to know I can still get under your skin" a familiar voice rang through the hanger, Faye's eyes shot open looking up from the ground her line of vision finally settling on the figure that had spoken. There standing at the entrance of the hanger was Spike, Faye just stared unable to think, speak, or move. "Hey, Faye long time no see, did you miss me?" Spike said giving her his trademark smirk.

Still in shock Faye answered in a small whisper "Yes" she spoke the truth unable to put up a sarcastic remark. Spike blinked the grin falling form his face, Faye hadn't given him a snood remark. He looked at across the hanger into her eyes; something in those emerald eyes that had remand hidden for so long was now shown out in the open. Faye spoke up her eyes still unguarded "Spike, how..how is it that you are here, you died back there that night." "Are you even here, or is this some cruel joke the gods are playing on me?" a sudden fierceness in her voice. Her eyes were now brimmed in hot tears, blazing with fire aimed at Spike. Spike walked towards her, as Faye looked down again tears falling to the ground.

Faye felt a hand under her chin tilting it upwards to look it to Spike's eyes, his voice echoing off the walls, as he spoke "No the Gods are even crueler, they let me come back to life again to annoy you even more." Faye half laughed half sobbed "The Gods have blessed me with a curse" she spoke in a cracked voice.

"I think that should be my new motto!" Spiked laughed at his own joke, removing his hand from her chin. Suddenly Faye was hugging him, Spike looked down not sure what to do. Finally deciding on hugging her back, his arms slipping around her waist, as Faye continued to cry on his shoulder. After awhile her small frame ceased it's shuddering, her breath coming in and out slowly. Spike picked up her sleeping form, one arm sweeping under her knees, and he carried her to her room. Spike laid Faye down on her bed not bothering to switch on the lights, pulling the covers up over her and leaving the room in search of Jet. All the while the scene from the hanger floated back into his mind, what had caused Faye to break down like that she never acted like that; no matter he could ask Jet when he found him. ________________________________________________________________________

AN: Hey all Kanoka here, this is my first cowboy bebop fic, and my second fic I've ever written; so please be gentle tell me if I should keep writing. If so I have ideas for the second chapter already. Love ya all please review and let me know. I redid this under Rachel's suggestion (Rachel is a reviewer of mine); I have to admit this was a bit clumped together. So I took Rachel's suggestion, which was to start a new paragraph when a new person speaks. Well here it is nice and clean and all dusted off!
