A/N: Sorry it has been a long time since I updated, but I didn't have many reviews so I didn't think that the fic was liked, but since the story is short I decided to finish it.

Dislcaimer: I do not own Cowboy Bebop or any of its characters.

Decisions :

(Previously)

"JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION! WHERE HELL IS JULIA?"

"I see patiences still isn't one of your stronger virtues Spike," The figure stated as they began to approach him. "You want Julia. Well," The figure started as they stepped into the light and turned off the voice distortion. "She's right here" Julia finished as she removed the mask and hat, allowing her golden tresses to cascade down her shoulders.

"Julia..." Spike breathed as he took in the woman he had spent his life searching for.

"It's been a long time Spike" Julia stated as she walked forward and embraced the man she left so many years ago.

"Vicious..." Faye mumbled as her eyes fluttered open and she realized that she was alone in the bed. At first she thought the past day's events were all just a dream, just a very weird dream, but then she noticed the black satin sheets and the gorgeous room Vicious had shown her.

Getting up, Faye decided to search for her Vicious. Yes, MY Vicious. HE is what I was missing all this time. While in a stupor Faye hardly noticed the path before her and was shaken out of her thoughts when she stepped on a rose petal. Looking down she noticed a pathway of red and white rose petals that led the way into the bathroom. A small smile played upon her lips as she remembered that wonderful evening.

(Years Ago)

Faye arrived home after the worst day at work she had every experienced in a long time. "Those bastards, no respect for women!" Faye yelled to no one in particular. After setting down her purse and taking off her shoes and jacket she noticed that there was a trail of rose petals leading her down the hallway. Slightly confused she followed the path, to arrive at her bathroom door. "What the..." She started as she pushed open the door, but the end of the phrase whithered into a gasp as she took in the scene before her.

There were red and white rose petals surrounding her bathtub and there were golden candles lit and placed around her bathroom. Standing beside her bathtub was Victor, holding a glass of champagne, and drawing her a steaming bubblebath.

"Victor" Faye whispered, as tears trickled down her face.

"I called in today to talk to you, and your friend told me you were busy. She also mentioned that you looked like you needed a relaxing evening"

(End Flashback)

Faye followed the trail and pushed open the bathroom door. Everything was as it was that night so many years ago, except Vicious wasn't anywhere to be seen. Faye walked in and saw that there was a letter lying against the bathtub on a table, with her name written in gorgeous penmanship.

Dearest Faye,

I am sorry I am not here beside you as I was that evening so very long ago. I have been called out on business, but I promise I will return to you shortly. I have finally found you and nothing in the world could keep me from you now.

Sincerely,

Your Vic

Tears sprang to her eyes as she read the letter over and over. Finally pleased with her fairytale ending, Faye stripped and allowed herself to soak in the beautiful bath that awaited her.

"Sir, are you sure you want to do this?" A young soldier addressed Vicious

"Yes, I want them to know where she is. Address the message to a Mister Jet Black. I want him to know she is safe and that I shall never harm her."

"Very well sir, your message has been sent."

"Thank you. I shall return shortly with her to allow her to send any greeting she would like to her loved ones"

"Very well, we will await their call"

"Let me know as soon as it comes through"

"Of course" the soldier responded to Vicious' retreating form.

"Jet-person" Ed called in her usual sing-song voice.

"What is it Ed, did you track the call?"

"I didn't haveta, Vicious Vicious person left you a message"

"HE WHAT!" Jet yelled as he sprang up from his work and came to settle behind Ed. "Put it on" Jet ordered

"Aye Aye Jet-person!"

The screen flickered to life as Vicious' face greeted them.

God, he almost looks, happy. Jet thought What the hell is he up to now?

"Mr Black and I assume miss Edward" Vicious greeted, stumbling over his greeting to Ed. "I would like to extend my apologese for all disagreements from before and I invite you to return this call as soon as you receive it. Faye is in perfect condition and I have no intention of ever harming her or allowin any harm to come to her. She is currently asleep in the master suite and as soon as she awakens I know you would like to hear from her in person. I will bring her to you and allow you to talk things through. Please let me know where and when you would like to meet, and I promise this is not a set-up, just don't tell Spike." Vicious added as the message went black.

"Well that was... odd" Jet managed out.

"So is Faye Faye alright?"

"I don't know Ed. Respond immediately and give them the following instructions" Jet ordered, setting up the meeting. Faye, I hope that we aren't getting in over our heads.

"Spike" Julia whispered once again as she leaned further into his hold.

"Why did you come to me all of a sudden?" Spike asked

"What do you mean?"

"It has been so long. Why now?"

"I have been watching you and waiting for the right time, and now seemed right. It just felt right."

"Well, your timing couldn't have been more perfect." Spike responded as Julia's eyes lit up. "I need your help, Vicious kidnapped Faye" Julia's sparkle immediately vanished at the mention of Faye.

"What concern is it to you?" Julia responded, harsher than she intended.

"Faye is my..." Spike paused, trying to find the right word. Failing, he continued anyway. "I feel responsible for what is happening to her. Julia, Vicious is after you. He knew I knew how to find you and wanted me to. He is hurting her and may even kill her just to find you. This is OUR fight Julia, not hers. She should be free, she shouldn't have even been pulled into this fight. We MUST help her."

Julia pulled out of his grasp and turned her back to him. "You would risk my life and your own just to save her?"

"Julia, I have to. She doesn't deserve to die because of what we did"

"Fine then, I'll help you" But that doesn' t mean I am helping that little twit. I waited so long for her to get out of my way and out of your life Spike, but now I see I should have just eliminated her when I had the chance. No worries, It'll all be over soon. Julia thought as she turned around to face Spike again.

Faye climbed out of the bathtub and dried off. As soon as she had the robe wrapped around her body the door opened and she whirled around so fast she began to fall backwards, towards the tub. Before she could hit the tub, or the water for that matter, Vicious had rushed forward and grabbed her arm and pulled her to his chest.

"Still as jumpy as ever I see." He smirked as her heartrate began to return to normal.

"Well don't knock or anything" She spat out.

"It is MY home you know"

"Oh, why don't you just -", but her retort was cut off by Vicious leaning down and capturing her lips in a kiss.

"You're still as beautiful as ever. Even more so when you are angry" Vicious whispered as he simply stood and held Faye against his body.

A/N: Okay, so Vicious is in serious OOCness right now. I am sorry for that, but I kinda forgot where the fic was going and started to write again and am in a serious sappy mood. For those of you who actually LIKE Julia, that sentiment is not shared by me, so you can guess she won't be written well of. Anyway, I know it is weird and hope it doesn't suck completely. Please review!
