Disclaimer: (sigh) Must I go through this in EVERY chapter? I don't own Cowboy Bebop.

A/N: I know this chapter is a little.er maybe more so. short, but I kinda had a brain fart pertaining to how I was going to make it longer

Spike kissed Faye again sweetly, then let his lips travel to her jawbone, then her neck, then her collarbone. She moaned slightly as she turned her head the other way. He lay her down on the bed, still kissing her. As he began to undo the single button that held her shirt closed, a mass of smoke filled the room.

The two romantics rolled away from each other, both coughing and sputtering.

As the smoke cleared, the distinct silhouette of the devil appeared, illuminated by the light of the pale red moon that shone through an open window.

Faye gasped and backed up all the way to the wall. Spike stood up quickly, ignoring the white-hot pain that shot up his aching legs and feet. "What the hell are you doing here, you bastard?!" he spat.

The devil shrugged. "This whole domain is under my rule. I would suppose that gives me the privilege of going wherever I want, doesn't it?" He sighed, then looked at Spike, and said with a business-like tone, "But anyway, that doesn't really matter, does it? Because YOU are trespassing on my land and trying to steal my property."

"I'm NOT your PROPERTY!" Faye exclaimed angrily.

The Evil One then turned his attention to the beautiful woman sitting with her back to the wall before him. "And as for YOU, my little Valentine, you were just about to go and do something that would have made me very unhappy, very unhappy indeed. And you wouldn't want that, now would you?"

"I don't give a damn what makes you happy or not. I don't give a damn about you at all, so just leave me alone!" she yelled.

He rubbed his chin with a long, black-nailed finger. "Well, if you don't give a damn about me, you probably DO give a damn about this Spike Spiegel fellow, don't you?" He grinned at Spike evilly.

Faye stood up angrily. "You touch a hair on his body and I'll—"

"You'll what?" Lucifer laughed, the same bone-chilling laugh he had laughed before. Then, quite suddenly, his face turned to a hellishly furious glare. Lifting a hand and spreading his fingers so that his palm was facing Spike, he furrowed his eyebrows and sent Spike flying backwards into the wall of the room.

"You BASTARD!!!" Faye screamed irately as she rushed blindly at her lover's attacker. She was unable to reach him, however, for he simply chuckled and threw her against the wall as well. While Spike hit the wall and slid painfully to the floor, barely conscious from the horrible pain the filled his entire body as he hit the end of the room, Faye stuck to the wall as if held there by flypaper. Her pursuer approached her and snapped, and her body assumed a spread-eagle position, allowing only her head to move.

"Get." Spike tried to say, but only succeeded in causing himself more pain.

Faye turned her head as the devil approached her and ran his tongue along the side of her face. Then he proceeded to plant small kisses down her neck, her chest, her stomach. A greedy look sprung into his eyes as he came to the top of her shorts. He reached his hand out to rip them off of her, when he was suddenly thrown to the other side of the room by a mysterious force. He fell to the floor, out cold.

Finding herself free of the magical bind, Faye dropped from the wall and ran over to where Spike was. He staggered to his feet and grabbed her hand. "C'mon," he said weakly. "We gotta get outta here before he comes to."

Ignoring his pain, he pulled her out of the small cabin they had been in and began running away blindly. Fortunately, he had been running in the right direction, because they soon arrived at the border between Heaven and Hell.

Crossing it, Spike collapsed, panting and in terrible pain.

"Well, Spike, it's about time," a familiar voice with a metallic undertone to it said. Spike looked up to see Julia's demonic form step out from behind the door that led to the Realm of Havenless Souls.

A/N: I am going to TRY as hard as I can to get the next chapter up ASAP.
