Well love you guys who reviewed! Let's go for 60 this time ne?
"Vicious...get up!" Faye giggled softly into the man's ear. Vicious rolled over and saw Faye still wearing the bathrobe; she had this distant look in her eyes. Vicious sat up and smiled as she sat down next to him. She looked like a lost kitten wearing that white robe, besides the fact that it was too big for her and made her look like a little kid as well.
"Hnn." was all that Vicious said as Faye laid her head on his lap and looked up at him.
"Vicious about... last night." Vicious sighed and leaned back into the pillows, he knew that the previous night would some how be brought up.
"Faye it was..." Vicious sighed as Faye looked at him strangely. Vicious looked at Faye who was waiting for the reply, he stood up and looked at Faye, he opened his mouth to say something and stopped. He let out a sigh of frustration and walked to the bathroom. Faye followed behind; she grabbed his shoulder and sighed.
"I'm going to go to my room..." Faye was just about to turn around when Vicious grabbed her by the wrist.
"Just because we kissed doesn't mean that anything has changed. You are still going to kill Spike for me even if costs you your life. Remember Faye...I'm still a cold-blooded killer. A kiss won't change who I am. Now go get dressed and go look for Spike." Vicious hissed. Faye recoiled, she suddenly became afraid for her life again. She mentally kicked herself for letting her guard down.
"I was planning on doing just that." Faye snapped as she pulled away and headed to the door. Before she could take another step towards the door she suddenly felt lightheaded, lost her balance and fell. She looked at her arm. Her wound had re-opened; not wanting Vicious to see she stood up while still holding her arm and walked out of the room.
Vicious had heard a thud and looked behind him to see nothing there but crimson spots on the black carpet. Somehow Vicious could see the blood against the dark carpet. He looked out the bedroom door but saw nothing once again except for crimson spots exiting his room. He walked back to the bathroom and splashed some cold water on his face. He shook his head and leaned against the bathroom wall holding his head in his hands. He sank to the floor as he remembered Faye's warm, body holding him.
He wanted to scream thoughts of Julia and Faye flooded his mind, the reason it bothered him so much it was because they both loved him. How is that an asshole like Spike could always manage to get women he wanted? It just began to tear at him. Vicious stormed out of the bathroom and headed to his closet. He grabbed a shirt and threw it on. He walked down to Faye's room, he need the time to think.
The walk to Faye's room was shorter than he thought. Just as he was about to knock he could her Faye talking to someone. Vicious knocked on the door; he could hear Faye unlocking the door. Vicious saw that Faye still had the robe on.
"Yes..." Faye said with no hint of emotions in her voice.
"Faye...can I talk to you?" Faye opened the door so that Vicious could come in.
"I hope you don't mind but I was about to take a bath so you're gonna have to tell me while I'm in the tub." Vicious gulped and nodded. What was he getting all worked up about? It's not like he's never seen a woman naked. Faye led him to the bathroom where a tub full of hot, steaming water awaited her. Faye grabbed the footstool and said that Vicious could sit on it. Faye dropped the robe and slowly stepped into the hot water. She sat down as the water came to her collarbone. Faye poured in bath bubbles and saw Vicious's face.
"What? Haven't you ever seen a woman naked before?" Faye teased as she clipped her hair up.
"Of course I have. It's just that...oh never mind." Faye sighed a 'whatever'.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Vicious pulled the footstool up next to the tub and sat on it.
"Well," Vicious said as he placed his hands on Faye's shoulder's gently massaging them, "I wanted to talk to you about... what if this were to happen."
"If what were to happen again?" Faye turned towards him and gave him a look as if he were painted blue.
"This." The next thing Faye knew Vicious had pressed his lips gently against hers. Faye tried to pull away but Vicious wouldn't let her budge. Faye felt Vicious's hands run down her back. Faye let out a small moan as Vicious began to massage her back and kiss her neck. Faye wrapped her arms around his neck and began to run her hands though his hair. Vicious kissed her lips, Faye kissed him back.
Vicious pulled Faye out of the tub and sat her on the floor next to him. He gently laid her on the floor as he continued to lavish her with kisses. He moved right in between her legs and grinned his hips against hers. Vicious once again kissed her; Faye suddenly pulled away from the kiss with an expression of horror in her eyes.
"Stop it! I know what you're trying to do Vicious!" Faye stood up and yelled. She grabbed a robe, put it on, and tied the sash. Vicious stood up and looked at her. He grinned as he headed for the door.
"Don't tell me you still think that Spike still loves you?"
"Get out!" Faye yelled as she threw a lamp at the door Vicious just closed. She leaned against the wall. She looked at the shattered pieces of the lamp, "Why didn't I notice it before? He was trying to trick me into killing Spike. He wants me to think that I love him!"
Faye looked at her self in the mirror. Her face faulted as she began to think about what she almost had done. She grabbed her brush and threw at as hard as she could at the mirror. The mirror shattered as she leaned against the bathtub wall, she reached out and grabbed a piece of the glass.
She looked at the shard and began debating whether she should commit suicide or not. Spike's face suddenly flashed in her mind. Tears began to rear the ugly heads as she placed the shard of glass down and hugged her knees rocking herself back and forth.
"Spike how could you? What now that Julia's back you decide that it's ok to treat Faye like shit? Julia slept with Vicious too ya know!" Jet yelled as he watched Spike take another shot of Vodka. Ed walked into the room when Spike had heard Jet's last words.
"Are you calling Julia a whore?" Spike asked in a dangerous voice.
"No of course not. I would never say something like that about your precious angel! Spike do you know how many times Faye's cried over you? Do you know how many times she risked her life for you?" Jet watched Ed's smile disappear. Spike muttered something before taking another shot.
"Just shut up Jet!" Spike yelled as thoughts of Julia and Faye danced around in his head.
"God damn it Spike look at you! You're head over heels for both girls!"
"Don't you think I know that Jet?"
"What happened? What's wrong?" Ed asked leaving her quirkiness behind her. Jet walked over to Ed and ruffled her hair.
"Don't worry about it kid. Just leave Spike alone for awhile."
"Spike...are you okay?" Spike looked up at the now sixteen-year-old girl in front of him. Jet shook his head and walked out of the room. Ed sighed and followed Jet out of the room.
After Faye stopped crying she got dressed and decided to go out to do some thinking, after some how managing to "escape" from Vicious's site. She shoved her hands in her coat pockets and fingered the gun's trigger. She had purposely sent a message to both Vicious and Spike saying to meet her at the park in downtown Veiling, Mars at 9 o'clock sharp. She grinned widely as she thought about her plan. She sat down on a bench and waited until it was time for them to show up.
"Faye?" She heard a voice call from behind her. She stood up to see Spike standing behind her with Julia next to him.
"You!" She spun around and saw that Vicious saw there. The two automatically took out their guns and pointed them to each other. Faye lifted her hands out of her pockets to reveal each hand holding a gun. She pointed one at each of the men. The both looked up at Faye.
"If you two want to kill each other then go ahead! Leave me out of it! For the past few days I've been told so many fucking things I don't know what or who to believe any more," Julia took a step forward towards Faye. Faye pointed the gun to her, "You...you have ruined my life! If you hadn't showed up any of this wouldn't have happened. But do you care? You're an angel! You're perfect!"
"Faye please stop..." A small voice said from behind her. Faye turned her head to see Ed dressed in her old black spandex and white shirt and those ridiculous goggles perched on her head.
"Ed stay out of this you don't understand!"
"I understand that you're in love with Spike and yet you have new feelings for Mr. Vicious..." Faye's eyes grew wide in shock, how could she have known? Faye hadn't seen Ed since the night she saw Julia and Spike kiss.
"Oh enough!" Vicious said as he pushed out of the way and charged for Spike while drawing his katana from its hilt tied to his belt. Faye fell to the floor hard. Her arm wasn't helping her. She could feel the wound reopening. She rolled over and held her arm. She slowly stood up and saw Julia trying to stop Vicious. Faye took a step forward and fell to the ground again. Faye stood up and took the safety off of one of her guns.
"Stop it!" Ed yelled as she jumped in front of Julia, "Why are you guys even fighting? Because of love, friendship, money?"
"Ed...Please just go back to the Bebop..." Julia said so softly as tears rolled down her face. Faye watched Ed back away. She stepped towards Julia, Vicious and Spike. She lifted her gun up and pointed it at Julia.
"You...you said that you'd protect me from Vicious! Yet you and Spike both tried to kill me!" Faye yelled at Julia. Faye felt something go into her side. She looked over and saw that Vicious had stabbed her. Faye turned to him and pulled the trigger. She watched as Vicious's shoulder began to bleed. Vicious charged at Faye but was stopped by Spike who fired straight at his stomach. Julia gasped as she watched Vicious fall to the floor. Faye dropped to her knees as she began to get dizzy.
She shook the feeling away and stood up, she pulled out her other gun out and shot for what seemed like Vicious's figure, she couldn't really tell since her vision was getting fuzzy. Julia ran over to Vicious just as he stood up and grabbed the gun Faye had dropped and his own. He aimed for Faye and Spike. Julia turned and jumped right in front of Spike. Faye heard Ed yell something, as Spike tried to push Julia away. She called out to the four people in front of her but no one heard her.
The next thing Faye knew was that she heard two gunshots, Ed scream and felt herself go falling into an endless pit of darkness, she reached out to Spike as he ran towards her but it was too late the darkness had consumed her. Her eyelids felt so heavy, she just wanted to go to sleep forever. She felt like she was cold but at the same time so very warm. The feeling felt so familiar...why had this feeling come to her before? That's right she had fallen into a pool from the third floor of a building once. She thought she was going to die at that time, but Vicious had came saved her. Who was going to save her this time? Would Spike be her savior? Who would come to her rescue? Who would be her hero? Who would save a hard luck woman?
Back on the Bebop.
"Jet!" Kevin called as he turned the TV on and saw a live broadcast from Downtown Veiling, Mars.
"One person was found dead and others severely injured in Highland Park in Downtown Veiling this evening when some locals reported hearing gunshots nearby. When the police got to the scene they found two young women's body and a young man's body. Detectives interviewed a young man and a sixteen-year-old girl who had witnessed the crime. The young man they interviewed was Spike Spiegel and the girl's name was Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivusky the fourth."
Jet dropped his shot glass in shock from what he just heard.
"The dead young man was the notorious leader of a syndicate that went by the name of Vicious. The two young women who were severely injured go by the name Faye Valentine and Julia. Vicious was announced dead when paramedics came to the scene, the young woman Faye was diagnosed with two bruised ribs, severe cuts and bruises, a gunshot wound to the chest and a stab wound to her side, while the woman Julia had a close range gunshot wound to the chest they are currently being held at Veiling Memorial Hospital. Doctors are un sure if they'll make it. In other news..."
"I can't believe it..." Kevin said as he slumped down into the couch. Jet stood up and headed towards the docking bay, "Hey where are you going?"
"To find Spike!" Jet yelled as he hopped into the Swordfish and headed to Mars.
Veiling Memorial Hospital
"You may go see them now. The blonde woman doesn't seem to have much time left, she was shot one centimeter away from her heart. The other young woman though seems like she'll pull through." A nurse said as she tapped Spike on the shoulder. Spike put out his cigarette, stood up and followed the nurse. Spike felt the air conditioning blast at him as he entered the hospital room where Faye and Julia were being held. He saw Julia's golden hair light her pale face up. He looked next to Julia and saw Faye lying there lifeless with her hair around her like a halo. He grabbed a chair and placed it in between the hospital beds and grabbed both of their hands.
"...Why did this have to happen..." Spike choked back on tears that began to show? He shook his head and lets go of their hands placing his head in his own hands. He began to think about how much he really loved them both. Memories of Julia and Faye danced in his mind. The video of Faye as young girl, Julia's smile just these thoughts made him want to burst into tears. He had to let this happen didn't he? He heard something moving and looked up to see Julia's hand moving towards him. Spike sprung up and looked at Julia. Her blue eyes seemed so full of life when her skin looked so dead. With out Julia or Spike noticing Faye opened her eyes and watched them from the corner of her eyes.
"Spike...where did you find her?"
"Who?"
"Faye, she's such a sincere person. A little hot headed but sincere none the less..."
"A casino she was ripping everyone off..."
"Really?" She giggled; "Take care of her Spike...may be you'll love her like you loved me..."
"Julia..." Julia turned her head towards Faye and smiled, "rest in peace..." Spike said as he watched Julia's last smile fade away. Her life monitor went flat. Spike pulled the hospital sheet over her head. He pressed he nurse call button. A minute later a nurse ran into the room. She saw Julia's life monitor. She asked Spike to leave the room. Tears rolled down Faye's cheeks as she watched Julia being taken away. She didn't know why she was crying for the woman he had caused all of this to happen. She realized that as much as Julia had caused all of the recent incidents to happen she was a normal woman who had fallen for two men. Two men...that would be the end of her. Julia had said for Spike to take care of her, and that maybe that he would fall in love with Faye like he had loved her. Faye closed her eyes as she heard the hospital radio play a sad but beautiful song...
Been a fool, been a clown
Lost my way from up and down
And I know, yes I know
And I see it in your eyes
That you really weren't surprised at me at all
Not at all
And I know by your smile it's you...
Faye opened her eyes when she saw Spike open the door and walk in he sat down in the chair beside her.
Don't care for me, don't cry
Let's say goodbye, Adieu.
It's time to say goodbye, I know that in time
It will just fade away, It's time to say goodbye
Spike picked up Faye's hand, and began to sing the next verse of the song. (a/n: I thought it would be so kawaii if Spike sang ^^;)
Oh how I love you so, lost in those memories
And now you've gone
I feel the pain, feel it like a fool, adieu
My love for you burns deep
Inside me, so strong
Embers of times we had
And now here I stand lost in a memory
I see your face and smile.
Oh how I love you so, lost in those memories
and now you've gone I feel the pain, feeling like a fool, adieu
My love for you burns deep
Inside of me, so strong
Embers of times we had
And now here I stand lost in a memory
I see your face and smile.
Faye closed her eyes as the next song started up, she figured that Spike was thinking about Julia. After all he did fall for her first. Faye sighed and tightened her grip on Spike's hand causing him to look up. Before he could saw anything else she fell to sleep.
Author's note: I'm thinking about making the next chapter the lemon and the last chapter ^^ I'm running out of ideas. And yes Faye does end up with Spike okie? well love to you all buh byes!!
