Winter: Hey there everyone and welcome to the next chapter of "Jet's Lost Niece!" I'll skip the author's note for now and put my announcements at the end so we can get the fanfic going.

Wisdom: Winter does own Cowboy Bebop. She does own Raven and the plot along with everything else unless other wise said.

Winter: On with the story!

Chapter Seven:

"The food is done!" called Raven from the main room of the Bebop.

"Wow!" said Faye. "This looks so good!"

Every sat around the small table with a bunch of food on it. There was sushi, Onigiri, Kare Raisu, Chazuke, Yakizakana, Sashimi, Udon, Yakisoba, and Sukiyaki. Along with the food was soy sauce, raw egg mixture and ginger root.

Everyone sat down and began eating all of the food.

"This is amazing Raven," said Faye. "I haven't had Onigiri this good in so long!"

"Where did you learn how to cook?" questioned Spike between mouth fulls.

"My parents owned a small restaurant that was attached to our house," answered Raven. "My mother was the cook and I helped after school and during summer vacation."

Ed had fallen asleep on the floor next to Ein from eating so much. Faye left to go take a shower then go to bed. Jet cleaned off the empty dishes before heading towards his room and Spike had once again fallen asleep on the couch.

Raven looked around the room and sighed before she got up and started to clean up the dishes. Once she was done washing them she stacked them up to dry then walked back into the main room to see that Spike was awake.

"Uh sorry for falling asleep I would've helped you clean up," said Spike rubbing the back oh his neck.

"Its alright," said Raven.

"Let me show you were the spare room is," said Spike leading her up the stairs.

Raven nodded and followed him up the stairs. Spike opened the door to a small room. The room had a bed pushed all the way back in the fat corner next to it was a small night table with a lamp on it and on the other wall was a small closet. There were many boxes that covered the floor among the bed and table.

"Jet has been using it as a store room," said Spike. "But you can just move the boxes off of the bed and sleep."

Raven nodded and thanked him before closing the door and started to make her way through the river of boxes to the bed. Once she finally made it to the bed she carefully moved the boxes onto the floor. In one of the boxes were bed sheet and blankets that were clean so she made a quick bed before lying down and going to sleep.

The next morning Spike was the first one to wake up (surprise!). He went to get a glass of water then to see what was on TV. Big Shot was on. Spike took a seat on the couch and put his feet up on the table like he always did when he watched the show.

"Still no sign of that murder Raven," said the Host after the welcome opening and other small bounty heads.

"All well…good luck to all you bounty hunters out there!" squealed the Hostess.

"We did get a note saying that if anyone is hiding her they too will be

arrested," he added.

"Oops that's all the time we have for today!"

Spike sighed as he turned off the TV. "How long have you been there?"

Raven was standing on the stairs listening to the TV. "Long enough to know that I have to leave."

Before Spike could say anything Raven had run up the stairs back to her room and slammed the door shut. The poor bounty hunter sighed and got up then went up the stairs.

Raven had grabbed her clothes off her bed and quickly began to change. Without thinking Spike walked into her room. Raven had her back to him, he saw many scars along her back. She turned around and saw him.

"GET OUT!" she yelled at him.

"Ah! Sorry!" said Spike before quickly leaving and closing the door behind him.

Spike leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets after he lit a cigarette. "Raven this is stupid, it's just a trick to get you to come out of hiding."

"I don't care," said Raven as she pulled her shirt over her head. "I can't put you and your friends in danger because of me."

She quickly brushed her hair back, which only fell back, into her eyes. She let a cigarette and swung her jacket over her shoulder only to walk out the door not making any eye contact with Spike. Spike looked down at her.

"Spike you don't have to worry about me or help me anymore…" she said and started to walk away.

"What do you mean?" asked Spike stopping in front of her.

Raven looked up at him with her cool eyes. "You brought me to my uncle and for that I thank you."

She pushed past him and walked down the stairs. Spike followed close behind her.

"Raven it is day outside they will be sure to get you! Stay here. For the sake of Jet, stay here," he pleaded her.

"And why might I ask?" questioned the girl.

"You and Jet are the only family you two have left," said Spike. "Don't you want to know if he really is your uncle?"

Raven turned away from him looking at the floor. "Spike, I want to stay-"

"Then stay… "

"You know I can't."

"Jet will be upset. "

Raven gave a birdcall before walking past him. "Tell him I'm sorry."

Saiki flew over to Raven and landed on her shoulder. Spike grabbed her arm to stop her. She turned around and looked up at him.

"Thank-you, Spike Spiegel," she said then stood on her toes and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Spike was surprised by this and lost the grip on her arm. Raven took this as an advantaged and walked off of the Bebop. When the bounty hunter finally came to he gave a loud curse and ran to go find Jet Black. Spike found Jet in one of the rooms where he keeps all of he trees.

"Jet! Raven is gone!" yelled Spike.

"What!?" yelled Jet started that he clipped one of his trees in half.

Both of them ran back down the stairs and bumped into Faye.

"Hey! Watch it!" yelled Faye.

Spike and Jet glared at her before pushing Faye aside and running off the ship.

"Uh," blinked Faye. "What's going on?"

"Raven girl is gone and Spike-person and Jet-person went after her," answered Ed.

"Good then we can get the money," said Faye.

"Edward doesn't think so Faye, Faye," answered the red head.

Faye gave a big sigh before plopping down on the couch.

Raven was hiding in an ally way until it got dark. Saiki was sitting on top of the building and looking around. The owl flew off of the building and landed on Raven's shoulder and cooed. She gently stroked his chest feathers.

"Where can I go? I need a ship to get out of here. Which I don't have," she sighed to the bird.

Saiki tilted his head to the side and stared at her with his big dark eyes. The dark hair girl sighed.

"I know father had a ship, but what I don't know if it is still in good condition," she told the bird.

Saiki nipped at his feathers before taking off into the air. The sun was setting and he was hungry. Raven sighed as she stood up straight and pulled her coat hood over her head and started to walk to her old house.
