Thinking of You
Chapter Two:
On my mind
Disclaimer: Yea I think it's kinda obvious that I don't own cowboy bebop.
After many restless nights the thought of Spike's return still lingered in Faye's mind trapping her into a world of despair. She could no longer accept the fact that he was back in her life after being so used to him being gone. But somehow Faye knew that it wouldn't be the last time she would see him.
With a mind racing and a heavy heart Faye forced herself out of bed. It made no sense to wallow in her sadness; it would only bring her down. She figured it was time to push spike out of her mind and move on with her life. But in Faye's heart she knew that was a goal that couldn't be reached.
Deciding to put aside the topic Faye made her way towards the bathroom. She needed to escape the place that held such a painful memory.
She began to wash her face to get ready for the day ahead. The cool water brushed against her face as if washing her sorrows away.
She cupped water in her hand to finish the deed in which she had started. But the water was no longer the clear and vibrant color that it's once been, for now it was a deep dark red that put shivers in your body just looking at it. Now it was blood.
She threw the water back in the sink knowing that it was just her mind playing tricks on her. But no trick could hide the fact that her hands were now blood-stained.

"Dammit Hakkai!" Faye yelled as she looked at the broken glass everywhere due to his clumsiness.
"I'm terribly sorry I should've looked where I was going." Hakkai said with a smile on his face.
Faye looked at the boy that stood before her. His brown hair caressed his face making him appear younger than he really is and had a long and slender body which made it seem he could kick your ass without breaking a sweat. But what really made him such eye candy are his eyes. His eyes which were the color of the afternoon sky on a cloudless summer day; the kind of eyes that make you lost just by looking at them.
But the fact that he could smile in any situation just drove her crazy.
"Just forget it, and clean up this mess" said an exhausted Faye, for she was in no mood to argue today.
"That's it just a 'forget it' Faye. I'm shocked." A familiar voice said finding it amusing to mock her in such a way.
"Hello to you to Jet." She said with edge in her voice.
Ever since the "death" of Spike, Jet was more like a father than he ever was. He would constantly watch Faye not wanting to lose another person that he consider family. And what better way than to appoint her as manger of 'Dream', his bar that seems to attract every criminal you could find in Mars.
"I need some air." Faye said as she headed outside the bar into the back alley.
"Gee, what's wrong with her?" asked a lost Hakkai
"You know Hakkai I asked myself that question every day of my life."

"I need to get away from here." Faye thought to herself. She wanted to be anywhere but there at the moment. She had so much going in her mind right now and it was about one thing……one person.
It drove her mad that he was all she could thing about. He was always all she could think about , but he was too wrapped up in Julia to even notice.
Julia.
Just the thought of her name made her stomach clenched.
"I wish just once I meant as much to him as Julia." But she knew she was only wasting her time for wishing never brought her old life back, her now deceased family, or to know what it feels like to be loved. No. wishing never did anything but remind her that she was without those things and only deepen her sorrow.
"You know a wise man once said that 'Too much thinking would give you nothing but regrets.'" Jet said snatching Faye out of thought.
"Really?" Faye said not really interested in what anybody had to say at the moment.
"Yup, but who really cares right now. Right now we are running low on cash and I need you to run an errand."
"Yea, go on"
"There's a man that lives on Earth and has a bounty of 7 million woolongs on his head. He goes by the name of Gren Jr. I want you to take Hakkai and catch him."
Gren.
That name sounds too familiar…… Why?
"Fine Jet I'll do it. What does he look like?"
"O yea about that I…really don't know"
"You're sending me to go get a bounty and you don't even know what he looks like."
"Yea"
"I'm surrounded by lunkheads"
