Faye woke up as a sudden shot of pain ran through her body. She looked over to see Vicious standing next to Nikolai who was currently refilling a syringe. Faye kicked Nikolai out of instinct. The rather large man wasn't expecting the swift kick to the gut and fell back upon impact. Faye stood up and almost immediately fell forward. Her legs were hurting again. She fell to the ground with a hard thump on the floor. Vicious crouched down next to her and stroked her hair then her cheek. Faye looked at Vicious with a disgusted look on her face. She tried pushing herself up but her arms were to numb. Vicious lifted Faye up by the shoulders and sat her on the couch.
"What did you do to me?" Faye asked as she watched Nikolai leave the apartment. Vicious took of his trench coat and placed on one of the bar chairs. He walked over to the bar counter and grabbed a bottle of Bacardi.
"Nothing, Nikolai said that he had heard you crying in your sleep. So he was just giving you a "booster" shot."
"For what? I'm perfectly fine." Faye lied through her teeth, she obviously wasn't fooling Vicious.
"Faye cut the bullshit please. It's just to make sure you don't go into a depression," Vicious sat down across from her in a chair he pulled up, "Now let me tell you what your job is today."
"I start today?" Faye asked as she laid down on the couch to sooth her aching back.
"Yes, I need you to find out where Spike's next job or bounty is."
"Why?"
"That way I can kill him myself, I kind of got a feeling that you aren't going to even try to kill him," Vicious looked at the ceiling with a grin on his lips, "I don't get why though. I mean the guy says he loves you but suddenly makes out with... Julia. Sounds like he never loved you to begin with, like it was all pure lust." Vicious saw Faye's fist clench from the corner of his eye.
"You fucking liar!" Faye stood up and looked at him, "how the hell do you even know about him kissing Julia?!"
"I have my ways."
"You don't know how Spike feels about me! He does love me! He does!" Faye fell to her knees crying. She didn't want to admit it but, Vicious had a point. A damn good point too, "Your lying! You have to be..."
"Faye..." Vicious stood up and walked over to her, "Does he really? Did he ever tell you?"
"...no..." Faye said barely above a whisper, she looked at Vicious who was now sitting next to her on the floor.
"Faye, I've known Spike for years. He's always been an asshole. That will never change about him. Think about it...He's hurt you...he took away my only love...he only cares about money..." Faye's eyes began to narrow. She looked at Vicious, why did he suddenly look so incredible hot? Faye tried to shake the thought away, that it was only her mind trying to convince her that Vicious was right. But she narrowed it down, he was right.
"...I'll do it..." Vicious saw Faye stand up and walk to the kitchen, she pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket, "and do you have a lighter?"
"Yeah why?"
"I need it..."
"For what?"
"Burning something..." Vicious walked over to her and saw the note. He handed her the lighter. She lights the lighter and placed it under the letter. She smiled as she watched the letter become engulfed in flames. She dropped the burning letter into the waste bin. She stepped back as she watched the contents slowly burn. She took her glass of liquor and dumped it in the bin. Flames erupted causing Vicious to step back. Faye turned and headed to her room.
"Where are you going?" Vicious asked as he watched Faye walk into her room.
"Getting rid of everything that reminds me of Spike."
An hour or so later Faye walked out looking totally different than she had came. She was no longer wearing yellow shorts or shirt, but black leather. Her pants were leather, her shirt was leather and a long black leather trench coat to top it all off. She twirled around once then grinned. Vicious tried his hardest not to...well get happy seeing Faye like that if you know what I mean. She walked towards him and smiled.
"How do I look?" Faye cat walked over to Vicious who was sitting on the sofa. She stopped in front of him. She bent down eye level with him, making sure to show some major cleavage.
"G...great..." Vicious barely stuttered as Faye sat down on his leg.
"Good. Because I'll be the last thing he'll see." Faye stood up and walked out the door grabbing one of Vicious's katanas and her own gun. Faye' got to the elevator just as Vicious caught up to her.
"Where are you..." Vicious began to say.
"Spike's...I'll be back later today with the info on him..."
"Before you go take this," Vicious threw a little silver bracelet, and small silver wrist watch at her, "It'll vid-link you to me, and if you can vid-link me then you an use the watch as a kind of speaker."
"Thanks." Faye stepped into the elevator right before the doors closed.
*At Spike's*
"What did you do this time Spike?" Jet asked while he watched Spike drink his fifth shot of vodka.
"Nothing..." Ed walked in carrying a tray with food, as Jet took away the bottle of Vodka.
"Oh bullshit," Ed said in cheery voice as she placed down the food, "What did you do to Julia-person earlier, Spike-person?"
Spike stared at Ed. Sure she matured, and was still a computer hacker and yeah now she wore more but what was she trying to tell him? Was it one of her weird riddle things? Well you never can tell with Ed.
"You...you don't think..." Ed smiled a wide grin as Spike figured out what he did. Jet laughed as Julia and Kevin walked into the room. Julia and Kevin couldn't help but wonder what the hell Spike was doing banging his head on a glass table.
"Spike! What are you doing?" Julia asked as Ed walked or rather bounced by.
"Mmm..." Was all Spike answered.
"Just leave him alone..." Kevin said as he sat down next to Jet. Julia looked at him.
"I still don't understand how you know Spike." Julia inquired stingily. Kevin sighed as Jet laughed, "and what's so funny?"
Jet stood up as Julia began to glare daggers. Ed walked into the room and saw that everyone was actually all in one room, she couldn't help but laugh.
"What's with you Ed?" Spike mumbled while sitting up rubbing his forehead.
"Everyone is in the same room. When every person was in the same room on the Bebop that was bad. Every person was worried...now all persons mad or worried." Ed grinned as everyone took in her logic. Feeling proud of herself Ed sat down. Julia looked at the 16-year-old sitting across from her. How did she come up with that.
"Ed, you're right," Jet said getting up and grabbing his coat, "I'm going for a walk."
"I got to get to work." Kevin said taking in the situation he stood up and walked to the door and patted Spike's shoulder along the way.
"Ed has places to be, things to do and computers to hack into!" Ed grabbed her coat as she jumped onto Kevin's back, "Onward ho!"
Ed, Jet, and Kevin left one after another. That left Julia and Spike all alone. Julia walked over to Spike, wrapping her arms around his shoulders in a sort of comforting way.
"It's ok Spike...she'll come back I know she will." Julia said before kissing his cheek. Julia and Spike looked at the door when a knock was heard. Spike jumped up out of his seat and ran to the door. The threw the door open to see a purple haired woman in black leather.
"Faye!" Both Julia and Spike yelled. Spike embraced Faye almost immediately, Julia even hugged Faye.
"Oh thank goodness you're safe!" Julia said as she smiled gently. Spike pushed Faye's face chin up to see her face. Faye's face held no emotions, she looked like a china-doll.
"Faye?" Spike nuzzled her neck, "Where'd you go?"
"To think..." Faye softly spoke before she let her tears fall, "Spike! I'm sorry!"
"Why don't we go inside?" Julia asked, while stroked Faye's hair.
The three went inside as Faye began to explain why she left.
"I don't know what I was thinking! It's just that I've been all alone for the last three years! I'm so sorry guys...I'm sorry Julia for being such a bitch to you!" Faye hugged the now surprised Julia. Julia hugged Faye back and shushed her.
"It's alright, I know what that's like...But always meet things with a head on attitude." Faye forced her self to smile, she didn't quite understand Julia's saying.
How pathetic can you get? I just want to get this job over with..." Faye smirked as she thought about the several ways to get back at Spike. Two hours passed as Julia, Faye, and Spike talked about everything from the weather to their newest lead on a bounty. Faye excused herself to the bathroom as Julia began to set out plates for dinner.
"Vicious you get all that?" She said into the little wrist watch she was wearing as she put in a small ear piece.
"Get him to talk more about it...by the way, Faye great acting..." Faye sighed as she took off the leather jacket to reveal a black leather tube top, she pressed the silver bracelet Vicious had given her and grinned as she watched Vicious fall over in his chair.
"Who said I was acting?" Faye pressed the bracelet again to turn it off.
"Get to work..." Faye picked her jacket up and walked out of the bathroom. Julia had obviously made dinner and was setting it out for five people. She had made steak, potatoes, soup and some other things. Faye couldn't help but wonder if Julia had always been that helpful. Faye forced a smile as Spike pulled out a seat for her.
"So Spike tell me more about you're new bounty." Spike began to talk about someone with quite the record. They were being charged with forgery, theft, identity fraud, the list went on and on. Spike told her that he knew exactly who it was.
"So who is it Spike?" Spike grinned as Julia stood behind Faye with her hands on Faye's shoulder.
"You my dear." Spike held a gun out to Faye. Faye stood up as Julia pushed her down.
"I don't think so bitch." Faye kicked Julia in the gut as she threw Julia's cooking into Spike's face. She grabbed her jacket and ran out the door. As she ran down the stairwell she began to shoot at Spike as he began shooting at her.
"Vicious! You didn't tell me I was a bounty!" Faye yelled into her watch, she kicked the second floor door open and ran into an open apartment. She closed the door behind her as she heard Julia and Spike talking. She headed for the balcony, but had to make sure no one was in the house. Faye held her gun in two hands as she slowly made her way to the balcony. She could hear two people in bedroom. She took the opportunity to get to the balcony. As Faye opened the balcony door the alarm went off. She shot the alarm pad before it could call the cops, she threw the sliding door open and stepped out onto the balcony. She looked down with eyes blurred from on coming tears and saw that there was a pool, about 9 or 10 feet deep. With out a second thought she got up on the ledge and took a step forward. She fell for about three seconds, but those three seconds were long enough for to shed some tears. Faye hit the pool water hard, the water felt like cement on her fatigued body, she opened her eyes and saw that the water was turning red. She closed her eyes again as she breathed out as pain swept through her chest. The water was so cold, yet so warm at the same time. Why did this feel so right to her? Did she want to die? Was she going to die? Faye cam to the conclusion that she was but then felt something strong grab her by the waist and pull her out of the cold water. Faye could feel something pushing on her chest. She sat up and coughed water out.
"What the hell were you thinking!" She looked up and saw Vicious's blue eyes staring into her emerald ones. She laid herself back on the floor and let out something similar to a grunt. Faye felt herself be lifted off the ground, she let herself fall back to sleep.
When she woke up she was lying in Vicious's room. Well she could tell it was his room because of his big black bird. She sat up and felt a sudden wave of pain in her arm, she must of gotten shot there. She looked down only to realize that she had no clothes on. She looked up franticly around the room for her clothes. She stopped and noticed, the room was beautiful. There were red dragons on almost everything, the bed in which she was lying in was covered with silk sheets, the black carpet on the floor looked like it was shag, the room was decorated with black, red and gold. There was a changing screen right next to the bed in a corner. She saw her clothes neatly folded on a chair next to the screen. The door opened just before Faye was about to grab her clothes. Faye looked up to see Vicious walking in.
"AH!!!" Both of them screamed. Faye pulled the covers over up to her shoulders as Vicious walked in a circle then out of the room. Faye grabbed went into the bathroom and grabbed a robe. She walked out of the bathroom to see Vicious lying on the bed.
"Well hello sexy." Faye teased as she sat down next to the bed. Vicious rolled over and looked at Faye with a cocked eye-brow.
"Why thank you..." Vicious sat up took off his drenched trench coat. Faye looked away as the trench coat fell onto the floor with a loud thump. Faye couldn't help but sneak a peak at Vicious as he took off his shirt and tank top. Faye looked past Vicious and saw through the balcony window that it was raining.
"Did you go for a walk in the rain?" Faye asked as she handed him a towel from the bathroom. Vicious grinned as he took the towel and began to dry his hair, "You know you aren't as bad as people say you are."
"A certain person changed me..." Vicious softly said as he looked out the balcony window, he pushed the door open and music could be heard from the streets below.
Aishiteta to nageku ni wa / It's too late to cry I love you.
Amari ni mo toki wa sugi te shimatta
mada kokoro no hokorobi o / The wind still blowing, my heart still aches
iyasenumama kaze ga fuiteru
Faye began to hum the song, it was the same song she hummed the night she saw Julia and Spike together. She thought she had cleared all feelings for Spike from her mind, but a few remained. With out knowing it Faye's eye began to let free long kept tears. She took a breath and sang the rest of the song...
Hitotsu no me de asu o mite/ one side of my eyes sees tomorrow,
Hitotsu no me de kinou mitsumete'ru/ and the other only sees yesterday
Kimi no ai no yurikagode
Mo ichido yasurkani nemuretara/ I hope I could sleep in the cradle of your love...again
Faye walked onto the balcony and sang out loud to the music playing somewhere in the streets...
Kawaita hitomi de dareka na itekure/ Cry for me somebody with dry eyes
The Real Folk Blues
Honto no kanashimi ga shiritaidake/ I just want to feel a real sorrow
Doro no kawa ni sukatta jinsei mo warukuwanai/ It's not a bad life in the muddy river
Ichido kiri de owarunara/ If life is once
Vicious looked at Faye, she was standing in the rain singing a song they both knew. They both were hurting...but why? (A/N: I picture the voices of the people who sing Mugen no kaze from Ayashi no Ceres. I just thought it would fit this ^^")
Kibou ni michita zetsuboto/ Hopeless hope, and the chance with traps
Wanagashikakerareteru kono chansu/ what is right or wrong?
nani ga yoku te warui no ka
Koin no omoi to kuramitaita/ It's like both sides of a coin
Dore dake ikireba iyasareru no darou/ How long must I live till I release?
Vicious walked up next to Faye and began to sing the song as well...
The Real Folk Blues
Honto no yorokobi ga shiitai dake/ I just want a real pleasure
Hikaru mono no subete ga ougen to wa kagiranai/ all that glitters is not gold
The Real Folk Blues
Honto no kanashimi ga shiritaidake/ I just want to feel a real sorrow
Doro no kawa ni sukatta jinsei mo warukuwanai/ It's not a bad life in the muddy river
Ichido kiri de owarunara/ If life is once
As the song ended Faye and Vicious were leaning against each other. Faye sighed as she heard another song start.
"That was our song...when we we're all together..." Vicious thought to himself.
"That was the song...I heard the night I saw "them" together." Faye ran into the room before she started to cry. She sat down on Vicious's bed and watched Vicious's bird sleep. Vicious sat down next to Faye, he could see that she was crying again. Vicious touched her cheek. Faye looked up at Vicious, he wasn't the cold hearted killer any more, but an actual man with emotions. Faye dug her head into his chest as pulled her into an embrace. He whispered something in her ear.
"What..."
"Forgive me..." Vicious softly said before he gently placed a warm kiss on Faye's lips. Faye almost pulled away but gave in. What was the use in loving a man who wanted to turn you in for money? What reason was there to want to be with a man who hurt you so? Faye let herself go, she and Vicious both were hurting not physically but emotionally. One could say that they were to lost souls who had found the other. This kiss they became engaged in was not one out of lust, or love, or revenge, no it was to comfort the other. There is a saying that says, "Do to others as you would have them do to you." If one gives comfort then they shall receive comfort.
Faye laid down on the bed and motions Vicious to lay down with her. Vicious crawled into the bed and laid his head on her chest. She gently stroked his hair as he began to sob about Julia, Faye wanted to cry about Spike...but didn't. Vicious sat up and looked Faye in the eyes she nodded.
"What are we going to do about Spike?"
"We'll talk about it tomorrow..." Vicious right before he kissed Faye's cheek. Faye hugged him tightly as he laid his head on Faye's chest again. Faye and Vicious fell asleep like that, cradling each other. They showed emotions long since kept. For Vicious compassion, understanding and hurt reared their heads in a man's once cold heart. Faye, who once acted the cold and mean bitch became aware of people's emotions, she felt the hurt of having the person you love hate you, she felt the comfort given to her by Vicious's kiss. All in all it was The Real Folk Blues...
Author's note: I hope that wasn't too dramatic, I've been working on this thing for quite a while now. I don't know but I thought that I was going nuts to make Vicious have feelings and kiss Faye. But hey evil people have feelings to right? I don't know if this going to stay a Spike and Faye fic. God this thing got long I didn't ever expect my fic to be so long it's almost ten chapters! And the chapters are a pretty good length if I do say so myself. I used Microsoft Word Processor to do this and it came out to 6 long pages in Verdana font and size 10 text size. Ok I think that was enough babble for one day! Please! Please! READ AND REVIEW!!!! Thank you!
