When Spike Met Jade.
Chapter 2: "Holy Sh*t . . . " Disclaimer: Spike Spiegel and Cowboy Bebop is not owned in any way whatsoever (until I come up with enough money to buy stocks in the Japanese stock market) by me. Furthermore, the Character Jade Hajime is the intellectual property of Jenny (Doe). Full name not given for a reason, but stealing is still off limits. She will sue your pansy ass . . .
((A/N: Before reading this story let it be known that this is not completely written by me. The character background and history of Jade Hajime are Jenny's. She also provided most of what Jade says, unless I need to improvise due to my poor memory. Either way, I'm not good at writing romance. Hang on, and be brutally honest when you finish. Thanks a lot!))
On the Bebop, Spike and Jade arrive. They walk in, and Spike sits on the "family couch". Jade, feeling sort of uncomfortable with the situation sits down on the floor next to the couch.
"So, what's your story?" Spike said casually.
"My story?" replied Jade.
"Yeah. Your issues."
Jade removes her jacket, revealing her ears and her wing. "I'm a Demonic Vampire Neko. . . . When I was eight, my stepfather tore out my other wing. He also beat me, and raped me. I lost it at about nine, and slaughtered my entire family . . ." She sobs some.
"Holy Shit . . ."
"I wandered the streets after running to a local blacksmith and stealing a cutlasseer, my curved sword here. I remained around her homeland, picking off arrogant street rat boys with knives who dared to try and strike me down. I kill nearly all of them . . . When I was 13, I was known as a shadow-mancer, bringer of death, or a manslayer. After a few more years of being a young mercenary for hire, I was asked when I was 15 to join the Med- Jye or Hell's Black Angels. When I was 18, I was known as one of the four best fighters known by the protectors organization. The other three were Wahtei Hakoo, and Gahnya who were all slaughtered on the night before the meeting of the Med-Jye/Imperialist leaders. After that, the med-Jye began to collapse, leaving me to wander through the barrier of the Human and Demon world. I wandered through Japan, most of Asia, Europe and such. I was then put into cryogenic sleep for a while as a prisoner, but a friend of mine's son awakened me four months ago. I've been on the run. I had to fight my way through a Red Dragon heist at the hospital, which is why they are after me. Good thing Vicious is dead."
"He's not . . ." Spike said grimly.
"How would you know that?"
"It wasn't the time. He won't die until it is time."
"Well . . . what about you?"
"I live with three other individuals, and one dog. There's Jet Black. He's been with me for three years. About two months ago, I met up with Faye Valentine. She's a woman with an attitude like you wouldn't believe. We then found Radical Edward on Earth. She's quite the child hacker. You might have heard of her. And before Faye, we had gotten Ein, our somewhat faithful dog. He's probably smarter than me."
"Wow. I guess it's nice to have someone to be around . . . So what do we do now?"
"I don't know."
"Let's see what's on Big Shot, other than me." Spike flips the TV on.
TV: Punch: Well HOWDY Folks! Are you ready for some criminals to catch? Judy: Always! Here are today's hot bounties! Punch: First of all we have a Ms. Jade Hajime! We've been tracking her for months now, and she is worth a good 50 million! Judy: Wow! She's one expensive lady! Punch: Indeed! Also, we have a NEW bounty! His name is Spike Spiegel! We have seen him on the list before, but his bounty was dropped! Now he's up for aiding a known criminal! He's worth a whopping 15 million! Judy: Amazing! Lots of money to be earned today! Oh and let's not forget this handsome fellow! A Mr. Francis Tomatoko! He is wanted for robbing the Ganymede Bank and is worth 150 thousa- END TV
Spike turns the tv off, interrupting Judy's sentence. "Well shit."
"I'm so sorry." Jade seems a little dazed.
"Don't be. I wanted to help you, and that's what happens. It's how life is."
"What if your partners find out?"
Spike kicks the TV until it is a pile of silicon and scrap metal. "That's the only TV in the house, and Ed would never tell."
Jade seems a little shocked at Spike's violent rage against the machine (no pun intended). She gets over it, and stands so she can sit on the couch. Almost as though it was brought on by her sitting down, Faye marches in from the shadows of the hanger, and yells.
"And what the hell is this?!"
((Cliffhanger . . . ))
