A/N: This fic is sort of based on "On The Way Down". Look, I was bored and couldn't think of what to write, and it this fic is a little... dull, then I beg you not to flame it over too much. Thanks to all of you who have also reviewed my other stories too.

Disclaimer: If you don't know it then here it is- I DO NOT OWN COWBOY BEBOP OR ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH IT OTHER THAN THIS FANFIC. IF I OWNED BEBOP, I WOULD'VE CHANGED A LOT, YOU KNOW. AND I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT OWN THE SONG "On The Way Down" EITHER. Alright, now that's done, so on with the story!

Spike clutched his bleeding stomach. Was he going to live much longer? He wondered if he'd live again. I'm going to see if I'm alive. Those words he told Faye rang in his ears. He found an answer. He was 'dead'. But once more, he wouldn't die. Just going nowhere... He thought.

Sick and tired of this world

There's no more air

Trippin' over myself

Goin' nowhere

Waiting

Suffocating

No direction

And I took a dive

He walked to Swordfish, his 'precious' ship. He slumped in the cockpit, God how that man, Vicious, slashed his stomach ached. I have no damned clue how I ever once upon... a dream, called that man my best friend. Spike knew he couldn't stay in one place. He had to go somewhere. But the great loss of blood was making him dizzy. He was fading out slowly. In no less than 5 minutes, Spike collapsed, unconscious.

"SPIKE!" Faye's voice was dimming... It... can't be... "Oh my God... Spike..." It was Faye. She had asked Jet to take her to where she'd tracked Spike down. She had to go. She cared too much about that lunkhead now. Jet took her, but he knew this was personal. He didn't dare get out of Hammerhead. He let her do what she must do. "I'm going to save you, you hear me? You better not go and die on me." Even though her words are... somewhat harsh... she cares.

And on the way down

I saw you

And you saved me from myself

And I won't

Forget the way you loved me

On the way down

Almost fell right through

But I held onto you

Spike returned to the Bebop with Jet and Faye. Faye took control of Swordfish for Spike, and Jet 'escorted' them back. He had heard how badly Spike was injured. It was horrific; in fact he should've died. "Spike...?" Faye was sitting next to him on the couch. He smiled weakly. I'm where I should be. It's only me... I survived...

I've been wondering why

It's only me

Have you always been inside

Waiting to breathe

It's all right

Sunlight

On my face

I wake up and yeah, I'm alive

Spike woke up again, to see Faye stroking his hair slowly. "Why... did you come back?" Faye's emerald eyes shone like crystals at the question. "Because, Spike, I think of you as my family. I have no relatives, I have friends. I have no place to go. I once told you... this was the only place I could return to." There's much more, isn't there Faye? He couldn't help but let out a weak smirk. "There's more to it than that, Faye." She let out a sigh. "You ought to be resting." She left and walked away.

'Cause on the way down I saw you and you

And you saved me

From myself

And I won't forget

The way you loved me

On the way down

Almost fell right through

But I held onto you

"You think he'll live?" Jet's voice was quiet. "Yes. He seem fine to me if he can smirk at me about something he finds amusing." Faye laughed at her own words. "Haha, he's back all right, if he can do even that." Yeah, that's right Jet. Heh, they sure speak their thoughts out loud. Spike was listening all along. Even though... I wanted to die, I did think one thing; I was thinking how I'd never see the people I've been with on this ship for nearly what, a year? I'm no emotional wreck, but hell, I thought I've them. I was... afraid of not seeing Jet, Faye, and hell even that kid and the dog... Caring and housing the three things I hate, tomboys, pets, and kids was a burden...

I was so afraid

Of going under

But now

The weight of the world

Feels like nothing, no, nothing

"Can't rest can you?" Faye returned from her chat with Jet. "Hmm." "Let me guess Spike, you want me to finish up that thought from our conversation earlier." He had to let out a laugh of amusement. "Didn't have to read my mind to know. Wow." Faye's eye twitched in slight annoying anger. Relax Faye. Damn, I hit a nerve... as usual! She calmed down. "There's something you've wanted to say for a while, but you never found a... opportunity OR you just didn't want to say it. Am I right?" She let out yet another sigh. "Smart ass." Spike laughed. I wonder if she realizes that she's not being true to herself. "Come on, you can tell... a family member can't you?" She gasped. "Spike, I was afraid you were dead. I care about you, Jet, the kid (a little), and that mutt. But out of all of you, I care about you the most. I didn't want you to go, but you surely must have known that," Spiked nodded slowly. "I don't want you to do anything that could kill you..."

Down, down, down
You're all I wanted
Down, down, down
You're all I needed
Down, down, down
You're all I wanted
You're all I needed

I remember her crying. Tears that fell like rain. Faye's eyes had shone even brighter than ever. I know what she feels. I don't need to hear anymore than this. Spike sat up, straining a bit. "Sp- Spike!" She was crying. She slung her arms around his neck, her fingers tangled in his hair. "Don't leave anymore, Spike. Please?" Spike's eyes looked glossed. I... promise. "I won't go anywhere. I... promise you."

And I won't forget the way you loved me

All that I wanted

All that I needed

On the way down

I saw you

And you saved me

From myself

And I won't forget

The way you loved me

On the way down

I almost fell right through

But I held on to you

I don't need her to say it straight. I know that she... loves me. Spike was now well rested. He was hungry of course. Who wouldn't be? "Spike! You're all right!" Jet looked happy; happier than he ever did in his life. "Yeah. Hm, got something to eat?" Jet smiled. "Idiot. Food's scarce. The usual is all we have." "Ah, anything works." Spike laughed. "Even the disgusting bell peppers." Faye looked from behind a corner. Spike saw her. "Be right back, Jet." He walked over to her. "Hey." "Hmm." She stroked his cheek softly. Spike grabbed her wrist gently. His hazel (mismatched hazel) eyes stared into her emerald green ones. Without letting go of her wrist, he kissed her. You saved me. And I'm grateful to you Faye. If I did die, I know it's funny, but... I would have missed you the most. Faye's mind was nearly a thought away. As long as you live, I'll do anything to keep you happy... at least in this life Spike.

Down, down, down

But I held onto you

Down, down, down

But I held onto you

See You Space Cowboy

A/N: So, how was it? I hope you guys liked it. (Hm, I kind of nearly cried at my own writing because, well, aren't we happy for Spike and Faye? Hmm?) Well anyway, please review my story! (And review my other stories too!)
