Some Blood And Love
Her body was limp. She tried so hard to move but the pressure and pain at her side wouldn't allow it. She only could watch as the white haired man removed her body from the wet and now bloody surface of the ground. Her body was numb; she couldn't feel the rain as it fell upon her body. She looked up at him as they walked in the deserted streets.
"Were you following me?" He looked down at her not a smile or a frown graced his lips; only a fine line. There was silence for awhile before he answered.
"I was sent on an order to find information on the White Tigers…" She looked away from him. So he wasn't following me, she thought. The rain was now set to a light drizzle. Blood graced his body as it poured from hers. From what he could see in the darkness she looked pale and her eyes were closing. Yet she showed no sign of pain; she was a strong women.

He lied her form on his bed, left, and returned with a towel, a bowl of water, and some bandage. He lifted her shirt just enough to see her ribs and the wound as he added some water to the towel and wiped it clean. She winced as the towel touched her skin. He grabbed a chair and sat next to her. She looked at him as he concentrated on wiping away the blood. There was nothing on his face; no emotion, she had never seen him smile. Vicious removed his body from the chair and left the towel on the wound as he left once again. She looked around the room as she did earlier that day. It looked somewhat different at the dead of night; it lacked any personality. She managed to move her hand to a picture that laid on a table next to the bed, but before she could turn it around Vicious came back into the room with some thread and a needle.
He sat once again on the chair and proceeded to insert some thread into the needle. She could feel the needle poke at her tender skin, but still tried her best to show no weakness. When he was finished he grabbed some of the bandage and helped her sit up so he could wrap it around her waist. She watched him gather the thing and walk away. She moved her legs over the side of the bed and used the small table and chair that was left there as support. Pain shot up her back as she moved in the direction of were Vicious had gone. She leaned on the frame of the kitchen door and watched as he drained the water into the sink.
"You shouldn't be moving." She looked up at the man; he didn't have to look back to know she was there. He left the bowl in the sink and walked up to her. She felt nervous around him; her heart felt as if it were going to explode. They stared; he looked at her as if he could see right through her and that made her want to run, but her legs wouldn't allow it.
"I'll live." She shifted upright from her leaning position her face showing so pain from the movement. She turned her body to go back into the room, but was stopped when he grabbed her wrist. Before she could say a thing his lips were pressed against hers; her eyes opened wide before they melted into his intense kiss. She had never felt nothing like this; nothing so strong. She hadn't known what was unraveling before her. She didn't know what was to come and all she felt was the present.

"Damn shrew." He walked in the streets of Mars; his eyes dropping from the lack of sleep. It was well about 3 in the morning and he was angry. Mao had called… Faye was missing again. Why did I agree to look after her, he thought. He looked in practically ever bar in the city and she hadn't been in any of them. He sighed and pouted as he put his hands in his pants pockets. Vicious hadn't returned to the syndicate either to report the outcomes of the orders he was to complete. Spike had known Vicious since they were boys and Vicious was never one to give-in to an order or challenge from anyone. He walked into the vacant portion of the city, and down a dark street before he came to a small three story tall building. He walked through the rusty iron gates and opened the door to the broken down apartments. The lights in the halls were dull and some burnt out. The walls were cracking and the floors wooden boards were rotting.
He came to a navy door that read '2C' on it. He knocked on the door and waited for an answer before he heard the sound of footsteps approach. The door cracked open and Spike looked in. Vicious opened the door wider exposing his bare chest and black sweat pants.
"Mao was asking for you… he wants to know the results." Vicious said nothing as he stared at Spike; Spike knew something had gone wrong. "What happ…" Spike was confused as he walked into the small apartment, but before he could finish, he saw her sleeping figure. Thin sheets were the only thing that covered her naked silhouette. He looked over to the man who now made his way to the kitchen and he soon followed.
"Mao's not going to be okay with this." Nothing was said; Vicious knew he had done something he shouldn't have, but he also knew that he hadn't regretted one moment of it. Spike sat in a chair next to a small table and watched as his friend leaned against the counter. "How'd you find her?"
"She interfered with my orders." Vicious watched as Spike put a cigarette in between his lips and lit it. Smoke blurred his face but quickly faded.
"How did she end up here?" Spike was still confused but didn't let it show on his face.
"She was injured." Vicious walked to the small table and sat across from the green haired man. Again there was silence; there was nothing to say. Minutes passed as Spike snubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray on the table. He didn't know why but when he saw her on his best friend's bed, a bit of jealousy passed through his system. Of coursed he ignored it, how could he be jealous when he already had the women of his dreams in his life?
"Mao needs to see you in the morning… I'll tell him Faye's staying with Julia for the night." Spike stood from his seat and headed for the door. He looked back to see his friend leaning against the room's door frame. He turned around left through the door. Vicious looked down to the women asleep in his bed. She was strong, beautiful, and now she was his.

Faye walked out of her room. She made her way to her uncle's office and walked through the door to find that he wasn't there. She left the office and looked up and down the halls but found no sign of him.
"Where the hell could he be?" She used the stairs to go down to the first floor. She asked the guard if they knew where he had gone. Apparently he had left with Vicious. She walked out of the building doors pouting as she saw the green haired man walking towards the building. She knew he would say something to make her furious, but she waited and nothing came as he walked right past her and into the doors. She was confused.
"Hey wait!" She followed him at a fast pace. He looked at her still walking. "You aren't going to say anything?"
"Not today." She stopped as he kept walking, great now she was furious anyways. She stomped back outside and lit a cigarette. Life isn't going to be any easier for me, is it?
