+.+ One plot twist after another with this one. ::dances:: What's going to happen? Also, I've got another idea running through my head for an new AU fic. *-* Haa-haa. This one wasn't a dream, but a fic a family member of mine wrote in the past. I thought up the plot and all…it was going great until the later chapters went higher than R…and he stopped going by the plotline…this wasn't for Bebop, but for Tenchi Muyo a past obsession, however I figured it'd make a killer Bebop fic, and it'll mess with your mind for hours on end after reading it ^__^ ::evil cackle:: As always, a S/F fic. Still not sure whether to do it or not though, so you guys tell me what to do. ^.^ READ + REVIEW!! Also, yes, I used the name Emily again… (you'll see later in the fic…)

Disclaimer: I don't own Cowboy Bebop.

          Pain, racked through his body as a cool breeze brushed his green hair against his forehead. "Faye…" He groaned as he opened his eyes slowly. He was dangling from the ceiling, his arms were chained up, and his feet barely were touching the ground. He cursed as his head throbbed. He turned and looked around. The room was, pitch black. He remembered entering a room and then a sharp blow to the head. Spike's eyes widened. "Faye!" Spike's voice echoed. "Faye, where are you!" No one could be heard except for the echo of his own voice. He shut his eyes tightly. "Faye…" he whispered. "Answer me!" he screamed out. The chains around his ankles and wrists clattered as he thrashed about.

++++++

          Faye shivered, her green eyes opened. She was lying on a bed. Everything was white. "Speer…?" She mumbled and looked around. She was in a white sell, with white padded walls. Nothing else… Her emerald eyes shook with fright. "Spike!" she called. Her voice was dulled by the padding around the room.

          A voice chuckled. "Faye, no need to shout, Spike can't hear you anyway…you'll see him soon enough though. I want Spike to see one of his worst nightmares come true." Steel eyes sighed though a speaker.

          Faye gritted her teeth. "What about Kate and Jack?" She questioned.

          Steel eyes, was silent for a moment. "What about them? I'm going to kill them of course." He grinned as her eyes glazed over with tears. She refused to let herself cry.

          Faye shook her head, and tried to get up, but she was strapped down. "Bastard, let me go!" Faye cried out.

          Another voice whispered through the receiver. Faye blinked and looked around a moment. "Yes," Dr. Yor snickered. "Get Spike, we'll use Faye to get the information out of him." Faye's eyes shook in fright. Use her, to get information out of Spike, for what, the chip? Was there something more to the story that Spike hadn't told her?

++++++

          Spike had been thrashing and shouting for Faye for the past hour, with no changes. There was still darkness, still pain, and still no one to respond to his cries. "Faye," Spike was losing his voice. He shut his eyes tightly and shuddered. "Don't hurt her…don't hurt her…" He chanted his voice barely audible.

          A loud creak could be heard in the looming dark. Spike whipped his head around trying to see what it was. "Are you awake yet?" An unfamiliar voice chimed in.

          Spike gritted his teeth. "Where's Faye!" Spike bellowed. His voice was scratchy.

          The voice didn't answer instead he silently walked over and slipped a cloth bag over Spike's head and undid the lock tying him to the ceiling. Spike collapsed to the ground shouting out as his head cracked against the hard surface. "Be quiet, or she'll die sooner than you think…"

          Spike shivered. His eyes blazed with a fiery hatred.

++++++

          Faye cried out trying to get free, but failed. Her eyes widened as she heard Spike's voice shout out in pain as he fell to the ground. "Spike!" she screamed.

          Dr. Yor cursed. "Don't be so loud damn it…" Faye cried out as the buckles around her wrists dug into her skin.

          "Faye, are you okay?!" Spike shouted grasping his hand onto the microphone and looked around blindly. "Let me see her!" He growled.

          Dr. Yor glared down at Spike and kicked him in the stomach, sending him to the ground with a thud. Spike shook. "Faye, wouldn't Spike be crushed if you died?"

          Spike's body stopped shaking. His breathing became quiet and hushed. He listened to Dr. Yor's words, while hiding his fear. "Don't hurt her…" Spike muttered under his breath.

          Dr. Yor only chuckled. "Or would you be even more hurt if I killed…your precious little girl…?" Silence seemed to fall over the world with Dr. Yor's words. "What's wrong Spike…?" Dr. Yor glanced at the TV screen to see the shocked expression on Faye's face. "Oh, you mean you haven't told Faye about your daughter yet?" He smiled. "We've got her here Spike; she's waiting for you to save her."

          Spike shoved himself forward and checked himself into Dr. Yor let out an angered cry. "Don't you touch her! She's got nothing to do with this, leave her alone! Let her go damn it!" Spike could feel his heart wrenching.

          Dr. Yor merely laughed. "What's her name again Spike…? What was it? Emily…?" Spike shook and fell back, still blinded by the black cloth around his head. "How old is she now Spike, three?" Dr. Yor bit down on his lower lip. "Did Julia name her…or did you? Julia wanted nothing to do with Emily, that's why she left her on your front step, that's why—"

          "Stop it!" Faye screamed. Spike stiffened. Dr. Yor looked towards the TV screen.

          He smiled. "It seems we've made Faye cry." He looked at his men. "Take off the cloth." They nodded. Spike's eyes were hazed and blank. He looked at Faye, strapped down, and crying.

          Spike shuddered. "Faye, I'm sorry, I…I couldn't risk them finding out about her…" He bowed his head. "Let them go…I'll tell you where the chip is, but let Faye, and Emily go!" Spike shouted in Dr. Yor's face.

          Dr. Yor arched an eyebrow up at him. "Really, Spike…? Where is it then? Don't tell us you destroyed it, we know that's a lie too." Spike looked into Dr. Yor's steel colored eyes with a look to kill.

          "You swear on your life that you'll let them go?" Dr. Yor with blank expression nodded. With a snap of his fingers two men walked into the room Faye was in and released her.

          Spike looked at the camera. "And what of Emily…?" Dr. Yor snapped his finger again and the door opened and a man held Emily, in his arms. Spike's eyes darkened. "The locket around her neck…" Spike shut his eyes tightly and bowed his head. "It's in there."

          The doors from behind Spike opened and Faye came stumbling in. Spike turned back and looked at her with pleading eyes. She simply nodded and fell into his arms. Dr. Yor rolled his eyes and brushing back the girl's shoulder length green hair, yanked the locket off her neck. Spike leaned Faye against the wall and with two forceful footsteps pulled Emily into his arms. She whimpered and snuggled into his arms. Her blue eyes fluttered open and she looked up. "Daddy…?" She yawned.

          Spike looked down at her and smiled weakly. "Hi, baby…" He whispered and held her close. "Are you ready to go now?" She nodded. "Daddy has to do something; can you close your eyes and cover up your ears?" She nodded and stuck her index fingers into her eyes and tightly shut her eyes.

          Faye watched as he gracefully walked back to Faye and looked into her eyes. "I'll hold her…" She whispered. Spike nodded. Shoving one of the men into the wall he jabbed them in the groin with his knees and took hold of his gun as it fell from his hand. Turning the door Emily had come from swung open and Jack fired hitting the two men behind Spike, while Spike shot in all directions hitting several men.

          "Damn it!" Dr. Yor cursed. "How the hell did you get out?!"

         Jack chuckled. "I was born into a syndicate, you tell me…" Spike shut his eyes and fired once at Dr. Yor. He fell to the ground. Gritting his teeth, Spike fired again, and then again. The forth shot, no bullet was shot. Spike pulled the trigger over again over again. Jack looked at Spike as tears welled in his eyes. "Spike…" He shook his head. Kate pocked her head in.

          "Is it safe yet?" Jack looked back and nodded. She walked over two of the guards, and grasped his hand.

          "What's your name, lady?" Emily poked Faye in the cheek and laughed.

          Spike's brown eyes widened and he turned back looking at Faye who held Emily in his arms. Faye looked back at Spike and smiled. "Faye…"

          Emily smiled brightly. "You're pretty, are you going to be my mommy?" Faye's green eyes widened and she looked back at Spike.

          "Emily, don't be rude baby." Spike took Emily from Faye and hugged her close.

          Emily frowned. "You didn't visit me last weekend…" She mumbled. "You said you'd visit every other weekend…" She mumbled and stuck her thumb in her mouth.

          Spike frowned. "I know, but I couldn't I was just really busy."

         Emily kissed Spike on the cheek. "Stopping the evil people!" she laughed and tugged at Spike's hair.

          Spike smiled brightly. He looked back at Faye as Jack and Kate came up to her. Faye just smiled with a look of surprise. "So, what do you say about leaving the safe house?" Spike whispered.

          Emily's blue eyes glistened with joy. "Do you mean it?!"

          Faye smiled. Emily was very smart for a three year old. Her speech was very clear too. "Yes, I mean it…Faye will be there too, if she wants to stay."

          Faye's eyes widened and she blushed slightly nodding as Jack lifted her up. "I'll escort you Miss. Valentine…" Jack sighed as Kate walked over to Emily.

          Emily looked over. "Who are you…?" She stared questionably at Kate smiling and laughed as Spike put her on top of her shoulders. Spike shut his eyes tightly for a minute as she laughed. Emily had Julia's laugh…

          Kate beamed a smile. "I'm Dr. Kiga…you can just call me Kate though."

          Emily giggled. "Katie-Katie!" she tugged at Spike's hair and he gritted his teeth.

          "Emily, stop pulling my hair…okay?" She nodded and locked her arms around Spike's neck.

          Emily sighed. "Where are we gonna live?" She yawned.

          Spike thought for a moment. "Not sure, a ship for now, that should be a nice place, and then maybe we'll get a place of our own, how does that sound?"

          Emily clapped her hands together. "Yeah!" she wiggled. "Can Faye come too? Can she, can she?" Emily pointed to Faye. "You'll be my mommy too, right?!"

          Spike grinned looking at Faye who tried to hold back a blush. "I…" She looked at Spike whose eyes stared straight at hers. She knew he was sorry for lying to her.

          "Yes, if she wants to." Her eyes glazed over with tears and Spike clenched his teeth.

          Faye sighed. "So Emily, how old are you…?" She looked to Spike and nodded. He smiled weakly. Things had ended so quickly…Dr. Yor, and his men were dead, they were safe again. Jack was on their side, and Spike was the head of the Red Dragons again. He bit down on his lower lip and closed his eyes as they reached the door to the outside…their door to freedom.

How was it?! Dr. Yor is out of the way, and now you've met Emily. +_+ Woot. Will Spike and Faye ever really be happy?! We're at the wire for this one! Only 2 chapters left! ::weeps:: Will they keep their sanity even through their new obstacles? +_+ REVIEW!! (Sorry for errors, I've got my last final and I need to study…then onto the new semester.)
