Saiyuki fans, I'm starting a Saiyuki wallpaper site! ^_^ (people get into Saiyuki; you can buy anime and stuff at Best Buy for $20 and less!) Saiyuki is a great anime! EVERYONE MUST SEE IT! That and download Kimi wa Pet off of www.Ushi.cjb.net it's a great manga, go to my profile and go to my site to see what it looks like and to read a little about it. You can download the manga in English, for free (if you were wondering) off of ushi's site. It's a zipped file, so be sure that when you download it you place it on your desktop so it won't go missing on you! However the manga is great. Saiyuki is really great too. All Bebop fans and anyone I've shown these series to have become addicts of Them. There are 8 volumes in the US as of now for Saiyuki. Anyway, Kimi wa Pet, means "you're my pet" it's about a guy who's running away from people he owes money to, and ends up passing out in a cardboard box next to an apartment complex. He's about 20. Sumire a well standing business woman who has recently broken off her engagement, and is still upset by that... She comes home stressed and finds the guy in the box, beaten and bruised. Frightened she takes him in and gets him cleaned up. Still not knowing his name, she lets him stay for the night. The following day he's still there. Asking him to leave only gets him into telling her why he was running and begs her to let him stay. She says he can if he agrees to be her pet. +_+ (nothing sick people…) He agrees and she names him "Momo" after her dog that he reminded her of. His real name is Takeshi Goda…and he soon finds himself in love with her, but does she love him?! +_+ Chapter 9 was just posted on Ushi's site. I was about to die when I saw what happened. ::dances:: I highly recommend both series. Although Saiyuki looks like it'd be for guys… +.+ ::drools over Sanzo:: It isn't. Although, guys would like it I guess since all the woman have out of proposition huge boobs. -_-' BUY SAIYUKI AND DOWNLOAD KIMI WA PET!!! You all must tell me what you think. I wouldn't tell you about them, it they weren't good! Check out the links for Kimi wa Pet and Saiyuki at the bottom of the chapter after you're done reading! R+R!!
It was late, already one in the morning. They'd finally gotten back to the Bebop safely. Emily was sound asleep. Jack and Kate had taken Ed's old room for the night. Spike sat on the cough and took a deep breath covering his face with his hands. "You should go to sleep." Spike looked up to see Jet. Spike weakly smiled.
"I'm dead, why sleep?" Spike smirked, messing with his old partner. Jet chuckled.
"So, Emily's going to stay with you now?" Spike's face lost all happiness and he stared at the coffee table. Spike shrugged his shoulders. "Where is she, asleep?"
Spike nodded and pointed in the hall. "She and Faye are asleep in my bed." Spike shuddered. "I…" Spike shook his head. "I don't know if Faye's happy with me, or not right now."
Jet frowned. "So…you two, are…?" Jet trailed off and looked over at Spike.
Spike bowed his head and nodded weakly. "I…I love her, I really do, but I lied to her about everything to protect Emily. I swore that I'd tell her everything and now…"
Faye stood off in the distance in the hallway. Darkness enveloped her. Jet could see her off in the distance, but didn't say a word. "I'm sure she forgives you, if she feels the same way about you, she should easily be able to forgive you for what you said. She did spend every minute you left searching for you after all."
Spike looked up at Jet and smiled. "I know." Spike sighed. "That's why I love her…she didn't give up on me, she didn't leave like…like…" Spike gritted his teeth. "I'm going to bed." He stood and walked into the hall.
"Spike," Faye yelped as she tried to make a run for his room. Spike's two-toned eyes widened. She stopped moving and looked back at him. Sighing she smiled and let the blanket around her frame drop to the ground her hands moved to his green hair and she pulled him down to face level and kissed him. He tensed and wrapped his arms around her lower waist and leaned her into the wall.
"Did you hear all of that?" He leaned into her and rested the bridge of his nose against her neck. Faye nodded. "Are you angry?" Faye shook her head.
She hugged him close to her. "It's okay; I understand why you did it. Just…don't lie to me again, okay?" Spike nodded and just held onto her.
Taking hold of his hand she tugged him towards her room. Spike bowed his head, holding back his grin. He walked slowly with her and stopped, looking into his room to check on Emily. She was sound asleep in Spike's bed, holding a stuffed animal. He looked at Faye. "Where'd that come from?"
Faye smirked. "Something I'd won…thought that she'd like it." Spike nodded and kept walking towards her room. Faye stepped in and shut the room when Spike was inside. The room was too dark to see anything. Spike bumped Faye into the door and she winced as he leaned into her leg. Spike noticed and made sure to be careful.
Spike sighed and just leaned into her. "Sorry, did I hurt your leg?" Faye shut her eyes and got absorbed in the moment. His quiet breaths and voice was more soothing than anything to her. He kissed her bare shoulder and she smiled weakly. "I'm sorry…" He leaned his full weight into her.
Spike gritted his teeth and tangled his fingers in her hair. "Spike, I'm okay…Emily's okay—"
"It shouldn't have happened. I shouldn't have let them touch either of you." Spike sighed and kissed her, leaning his forehead against hers. Faye nodded and took his hand and tugged him towards the bed. He slowly followed behind and smiled as she leaned into him. "I took care of her by myself…" Spike bit down on his lower lip. "I was twenty-three when I found her at my apartment door. A note left from Julia telling me that she was mine."
Faye took his hand and kissed it. "You've done a good job bringing her up so far." She smiled as a grin crossed his face.

Spike stared at the basket at his feet. The whimpered cry followed by a gargle. His brown eyes widened. "Hello?" he looked down the rainy street. There wasn't anyone there. The rain and warm air left a muggy uneasy feeling in the air. Spike stared blankly at the basket as it moved. Turning it to face his he found a pear of deep blue eyes staring back at him. The little voice gargled again and the babies little feet kicked the blanket back. "What the…" He mumbled, trailing off. Not knowing what else to do Spike took the basket and stepped inside shutting the door behind him. Sighing he slid down the door and stared back at the tiny face staring back at him. He blinked as he saw the letter neck to the babies shoulder.
He undid the piece of tape holding it together, and began to read.
Spike,
It's Julia. There isn't any other way to say this to you, so here it goes… The baby is ours. She'll be three days old tomorrow. I haven't named her, I thought I'd let you have that honor. I can't take care of her, and I won't give her to Vicious, and risk letting those bastards get a hold of her. Spike, I'm asking you to take care of her for me, can you do that? I love you…but please, don't come after me. I don't want to deal with the syndicate. She's got your hair by the way. If you can't take care of her, then if you must give her up for adoption, I thought I'd at least let her father have a say in it.
Goodbye for good,
Julia
Spike bowed his head and covered his face with his hands letting the letter fall from his fingers. The baby began to cry, letting out little whimpered shudders. Spike stared down at her for the longest time, not daring to move. "I'm a father?" He whispered and bit down on his lower lip.
++++++
That's where it had all began, he soon met Jet, and found himself living there so he'd be able to pay for Emily to stay in a safe home until he got things straightened out. She'd staid there for three years. Spike visited her as much as he could, trying to keep her happy. He'd love her twice as much as anyone to makeup for the absence of Julia.
Faye hugged him close as Spike buried his face in the nape of her neck. "Will you really move with me if I leave with Emily?" Spike pulled back and brushed back Faye's lose strands of hair. Her green eyes sparkled and she smiled nodding. Spike fell onto his side and held her against him. Faye sighed shutting her eyes as Spike pulled her against him. "I love you," he whispered over and over into her ear.
Faye blushed in the darkness. He was alive, and she'd gotten him back. "I love you too Spike." Faye whispered as Spike turned her towards him and kissed her, holding her tightly to his frame, almost like he was afraid that he'd lose her if he let go. He knew though, she wouldn't leave. He was her sanity, her hope, the person she loved most. He in return was the same to her. They were each others sanity.
Hold Onto Your Sanity…
+_+ That's it. It's done…+_+ I thought I was going to add a chapter 17, but I thought that I'd kill it if I went any further. I thought it best to leave you wondering a little. Like a bit about Kate Jack, what will happen to Spike and Faye now that they've got Emily and all. Stuff like that. However, there will not be a continuation; however, I have indeed decided to do the mind mess fanfic, even though no one told me to do, or not to do it. +_+ ::glares::
