- The song No Reply is THE CUTEST SPIKE/FAYE SONG! It's from the movie sound track, I bought it soon after buying the movie subtitled ^-^. All the songs to me just hint Spike/Faye stuff -^_^- ::blush:: I just think they make such a great couple! ^_^ -
- I do not own the song No Reply, and I do not own Cowboy Bebop, only the made up characters and idea of the story ^_^.

Faye screamed as Waters threw her into a small room slamming the door shut.
'Should I be doing this?' Waters stared down at his feet walking away hiding his face in shame; until he bumped into someone. "Oh, I'm sorry…Oh, Shin your back from Gatomie sooner then I thought you would be."
"They got Faye, I just overheard Vicious. You're his leading man I see, and I thought you were on my side. After they killed our brothers, you said you also wanted Spike to stop Vicious, but I guess you're too much of a loser to admit it, no… You're a traitor." Shin hissed.
"Pot calling the cattle black, aren't we...?" Waters sighed. "I just can't do it, I won't tell anyone about you, it's just I can't, I thought about it, and even if Spike does kill Vicious, where am I going to go when everything is done? I have nothing, no one to go to." Waters let his hand run though his hair. "The girl's in there." Waters scuffed as he pointed to the door and kept on walking. "You can take care of her if you wish."
"Waters…" Shin said above a whisper shaking his head. He ran over to the solid mahogany door and opened the lock taking if off and entering the room. "Miss. Valentine?" He whispered again looked around.
"Stay away from me…" She hissed hiding in a corner rocking back and forth.
"It's okay Faye, I'm not here to hurt you; I'm a friend of Spike's. My name is Shin, when Spike gets here; I'm going to help him get you out of here." Shin walked over to Faye and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Please, you can trust me." Shin said kindly.
"I… I trust you." Faye sighed not believing she had let herself say that. 'Can I really trust you?'
"I bet you're hungry, what do you want, the chef can cook up anything." He smiled as Faye's eyes perked up a little and heard her stomach growl a little.
"Anything?" She looked into his eyes waiting for response.
"Anything." He answered quickly.
"Could I have some fries, with jumbo breaded shrimp? Also could I have a side order of mayo and ketchup?"
Shin laughed nodding his head. "You really are pregnant… Anything else?"
"Um, some ice cream afterwards and a glass of water to drink please…" She blushed slightly when she noted how much she had just ordered.
"Alright, normally I would say that's over doing it, but you are eating for three aren't you?" He smirked as she nodded her head. "Congratulations by the way." He said as he left the room to go place her order and have it sent to her ASAP. "I'll be back in about an hour or so to check on you, if you need anything sooner use this." Shin tossed her his cell phone. "It makes outside calls also…" He smiled again, and closed the door locking it tightly.
"Thank you…" She whispered tailing off. 'Spike's friend… He seems to be at least three years younger than Spike is… Wonder how they met?'
-------------------------
"Here we are…" A man guided Spike and Vicious into the large building and they were greeted by many men in black suit with matching ties and half wore sunglasses. 'This is like that old movie Men in Black dad took me to see at the drive in when I was little.' Spike smirked lightly remembering that day and how fun it was spending time with his dad, when he should have been in school…
"You will live here until you're older. You two can share a room." The man led them to the elevator where a boy Spike's age and another little boy around the age of ten awaited them inside. "This is Gin, and his little brother Shin, they've been living here for about a week now. They will be staying in the room across from you.
"Hi…" Gin mumbled looking at Spike dully.
"Hi'ya." The younger brother smiled laughing slightly.
Spike smirked. "Hey kid." Gin laughed lightly.
"He's not usually so open to people since our parents were killed…" Gin glared over at the man behind Vicious.
"Hmm…" Spike smiled. "Names' Spike, this is Vicious." Spike pointed to Vicious who waved slightly tears still wavering in his eyes. Spike frowned slightly trying to ignore the glares he was getting from the older man when Spike had bluntly started to ignore him, just to piss him off.
"Cool names." Shin laughed for the first time since his parents had died.
"Heh." Spike chuckled. "You're a cool kid." He smiled brightly.
-------------------------
Spike stormed off into Jet's room and practically dove under what used to be his bed grabbing two guns, ammunition, and grenades with a hit switch to set them off at will.
"You can't do this alone Spike, you could be killed, and then you will leave Faye and your kids all alone-"
"I won't be fighting alone. Shin is there, he'll help me." Spike snapped at Jet. "Don't get involved with this Jet." Spike said flatly.
"At least let me-"
"Just back off!" Spike shouted hitting his fist into the ground. "I'll be fine; I don't need you or Ed to help me!"
"If you want to do it by yourself fine, but if you die, I swear I will make that you spend every day in hell rotting." Jet shot back glaring with a strong hatred.
"Hmm…" Spike smirked. "Whatever, I guess I'm alright with that, besides they say the girls in hell are pretty hot-"
"Don't think I'm joking Spike…" Jet cut in as he walked out of the room and slammed the door shut.
"I didn't." Spike smiled again shaking his head.
"You sure Spi-Spi doesn't need help to save Faye-Faye?" Ed picked up Ein as she stroked his ears.
"Yeah, I'm sure about it." Spike sighed as he inserted the gun's cartridge and as stuck the gun into his pocket.
---------------------
Within fifteen minutes a man pushing a cart, wearing a chefs' hat came into the badly lit room and gave Faye her food and utensils. "Here's what you requested miss." He smiled bowing slightly and leaving the room.
"Thank you…" She hesitated to smile unsure as to weather he was on her side or not. All she did know was that the food smelled great and ended up tasting even better.
"Faye?" Shin walked into the room about a half an hour later as Faye finished up her ice-cream.
"Tell the chef that the food was great." She laughed at his stunned expression.
"And she eats it all…" He sighed. "I thought I'd be getting a snack too."
"You should have ordered something then." Faye sighed placing the bowel on the ground and patting her stomach lightly satisfied with every bit she had eaten.
"No, we are only fed main meals, no snacking in-between, makes it easier for the chef, so right now I'm just about starving since I never ate lunch…" He sighed.
"You didn't eat?"
"You ate what I had ordered for myself, and then had it sent to your cell." Shin sighed. "Guess I should have come earlier." Shin shrugged his shoulders as he starred at the small silver cell phone he had given her. "Why haven't you called him?"
"I… I don't know I want to, and yet then I'm too scarred to." Faye blushed in embarrassment.
"Oh, come on, I'll call if you're going to act like that. Here, tell me the hotel name." He waited.
"Marriot…" Faye sighed as she guzzled down the rest of her water.
"Hello, yes… No, can you please tell Spike Spiegal that Faye is on the phone and needs to talk to him?" Shin talked on the phone to a man who didn't seem to be very happy.
"Sure, no problem, please hold for a moment."

"Hell, I'm going to be late!" Spike growled running down the hall and around the corner.
"Watch it!" A voice screamed. Spike didn't have time to stop and ran right into the person.
"God, I'm sorry, are you…?" Spike trailed off as he looked at the girl before him. His eyes grew wide; she seemed familiar, yet then again… It couldn't be her. "Have we met before?" Spike frowned sitting forward. Her folders and papers had been scattered all over the ground.
She grimaced rubbing her forehead. She was tall with pale skin, dark violet hair, and emerald green eyes. "No… Today's my first day here. My name's Faye." She mumbled grabbing her binder. She looked at him and her face nearly turned beat red.
"Oh, rough start…" Spike trailed off with a slight laugh. Faye smiled. "Where are you headed, maybe we have some classes together." Spike smiled. She was cute, very in fact.
"I think science…Do you know what room that is?" Faye frowned handing him the paper with her schedule.
"It's the fifth one on the left. Spike pointed down the hall so Faye knew which way to go. "Hey, you're in the same Math class as me!" Spike's morning wasn't as bad as he thought.
Faye smiled taking the paper from him. "I'll see you around then." She smiled brightly.
Spike nodded. "Where'd you move from anyway?" Spike sighed. He was already going to be late, might as well make the best of it.
Her green eyes widened, and she nearly dropped her books again. "I… Oh, I'm a transfer student." Faye looked down and walked in the other direction.
"Oh, that's cool." Spike nodded his head satisfied with her answer. "See ya!"
"Spike, what are you doing?" A girl with red hair cooed. She was in a cheerleading uniform.
"Talking to the new girl." Spike smiled running towards her and into the class room… "She's pretty hot too." He winked at the girl whose eyes widened. "Mr. Spiegel, late for class again, I see. That'll be two hours after school." Spike groaned nodding his head. "Sorry Mr. Girey…" Spike flopped down in his desk.
---------------------
"They say her name's Julia…" Vicious smiled pointing to a girl with long blonde wavy hair and deep ocean blue eyes. "Isn't she a fox, I can't believe she's even here, at our school!" Vicious smiled again as she kicked the soccer ball into the net."
"Huh, yeah… Fox, right." Spike nodded smiling as he drifted back to reality.
"Yo, what's with you man? You've been like this ever since you came in late to first period… You saw her before I did, didn't you; you devil you…" Vicious winked at Spike hitting him in the side with his elbow.
"Yeah, I saw a girl…" He smirked shaking his head.
"You think she would go out with me if I asked her?" Vicious tossed Spike a foot ball as he pulled on his school uniform.
"You think they would let you go out with her?" Spike mocked as they both pictured Mao Yenrai yelling saying, no way in hell.
"Uhh, don't down on my dreams dude." Vicious laughed again. "I'm going to go say hi to her." Vicious smiled again more proud then ever.
'Here we go again, guess I'll tag along…' Spike trailed off when he finally got a good look at her. She was everything Vicious had said, and her name was… 'Julia…'
"I'll ask her to sit with us on the school trip tomorrow!" Vicious's eyes were dancing with delight.
-----------------
"Ed, can you get that?" Spike mumbled as he stuck the grenades on the table.
"Phone… Phone… I will answer the phone!" Ed leaped off her bed and lunged for the phone placing it up to her ear. "Hello, hello, may I help you who ever you may be?" Ed laughed and Spike looked up at her oddly thinking about what her parents were really like. "For Spi-Spi you say, yes, yes here he is."
"Uh, thanks." Spike grabbed the phone out of Faye's hand. "Hello?"
"Spike, it's been awhile." Shin spoke into the phone.
"Shin?!" Spike's eyes widened.
"I'm here with Faye, you don't have to worry, and she's fine. She seems to like the food chef makes also…" Shin smirked trying to make light of the situation. "I assume you would like to speak to you lovely wife to be." Shin left it at that and handed Faye the phone.
"Spike?" Faye whimpered into the phone.
"Oh, God, are you okay, you have no idea how worr-"
"I'm okay, I was just really scared at first, but I know you're coming so… Just be careful lunkhead." She stuttered with her words and she could feel the hot tears forming in her eyes.
"I'm just glad you alright… You have no idea how worried I am…"
"You already said that." Faye smiled letting tears fall from her emerald green eyes.
"Let me see the girl now Shin!" Vicious pounded on the door.
"Vicious!" Spike shouted into the phone.
"Spike, I have to go…" Faye hissed quickly into the phone handing it over to Shin.
"I… I love you." Spike whispered as the phone clicked off.
No Reply - Yoko Kanno
Like the perfect ending
It won't be long
Till everything I've ruined has seen me gone
In time, I pray you'll forgive me
Now you know the man I am
Can you forgive me?
I fall
Like the sands of time
Like some broken rhyme
At feet no longer there
*If only I could call the rain to melt and wash away the pain you feel
I would
You gave yourself to me and showed me what the truth could be
For that, I say thank you
This was my life
It never made much sense to me
With every lie that I lived
Part of me would fade
Into this empty shadow I've become
And now I feel so numb
I no longer know myself
But I still know you
I call
And there is no reply
Like some phantom cry
On ears too far away
I close my eyes and watch as my life passes by
The only thing I see is you
For all the times you walked the line for me and standing by my side
I say thank you
Here lies my life
It never felt real to me
You'll always mean so much to me
And there's no reply
And there's no reply
You'll never know how much you meant to me
Repeat *
I close my eyes and watch as my life passes by
The only thing I see is you
For all the times you walked the line for me and standing by my side
I say thank you
Here lies my life
It never felt real to me
You in my life
It all meant so much more to be….
Spike let the phone fall from his hands and hit the ground bouncing a few times as he let himself lean against the bed staring blankly over to where Jet once again stood. 'Faye…'
