"Do Not Be Fooled By Love, It Can Deceive Even The Wisest Of Men."



Chapter 1 - The Dreary Night

.A Year Later.



Another small bomb exploded at the Big Five Bar and Club. The place was huge enough to hide. For awhile.

Faye was 'working' there undercover, as a waitress. She heard a big time bounty head liked this gloomy bar. So she came to get her money's worth. But she didn't know of the other who wanted it as well.

She stood in front of the bar table observing the scene. "Damn.." Faye cursed. "I forgot my gun." Suddenly a gun went off and the bullet flew right beside her, blowing the wine bar in pieces.

Suddenly a man came flying past her and caught her hand taking her with her. "What? Hey! Let go!", Faye yelled. The man took a quick turn around the counter taking Faye with her roughly. The man crouched down behind the counter to avoid from getting hit by incoming bullets.

"What the hell is wrong with you? I was perfectly fine!", Faye yelled to be over heard the gun going off around them. The man turned around to look at her, he work what looked like a casual dark blue suit that complimented his green-black hair.

"So could've been killed." The man told her. Faye looked at him oddly. "Why would you care anyways!? Who the hell are you?" The man smirked, "Spike.. nice to meet you. Faye."

Faye gaped at him, "How did you know my name?" Spike shrugged. "Well like I said Before, you could've been killed standing there to be noticed by all gunmen. They Are ruthless. Kill anyone in there path. Kids, women, doesn't matter to them." He shook his head sadly.

"WHERE IS HE?", a loud booming voice yelled. "We don't know, sir. He sort of just disappeared while we where shooting. Could be dead.", replied a young gunman. "Well find him!," the loud voice commanded.

Faye listened intently. Her eyes suddenly went wide. "Gethro Kin", she spoke softly. Spike looked at her with an odd expression. "How do you know that was him."

"I'd recognize his voice anywhere", Faye responded. Spike smirked, "So they

weren't wrong about you after all."

Faye fumed, "Hey! What's the big idea! And what the hell is that suppose to mean!?" Spiked laughed. "Nothing at all."

"Check everywhere! Behind the bar, in counters, who knows!", someone else commanded.

Spike handed her a gun, "Here take this. There gonna check behind here. So I'm Going to cause a distraction. Any guy comes around, blow their heads off okay? I don't expect much for you but hey, who knows."

Faye nodded for a minute then shook her head, "No I'm coming with you." Spike's eye flashed a second, "No you stay here." His facial expression was A very stern one.

Faye sighed then brought her hand to her head in a salute, "Yes sir!" Spike started to crawl away crouching low to avoid the broken and destroyed things.

He stopped to turn around and look a Faye for a brief moment, his eyes begging her to stay. Then stood and ran off.

He ran as fast as his feet would allow him. He dodged every noticeable bucket in his path. "Just like water", he told himself and smiled. He finally reached a fallen pillar beam and took cover behind it.

Spike reloaded his gun. "Man, there are a lot of guys. More than I had expected."

Suddenly Spike heard a single gun go off running the rounds away and hearing the men's cries follow it. "Huh?", Spike asked in confusion. He poked his head out of of the pillar and saw a single woman standing on top of the bar counters blowing the smoke away from her gun.

She caught his gaze and smiled proudly. "Your not the only one who knows how to use a gun you know?" Spike slowly stood up. "Impressive", he replied with an amused smile.

Then suddenly a man in a shadowed corner chuckled. Spike and Faye turned to the direction on the laugh. But it was too late. The gun went off. And Spike went down.

"Spike!", Faye cried! "Spike!" She jumped off the counter and ran to his side. But he was already dead.

Faye suddenly woke up, her breathing finally slowed. "What the heck..?" She rubbed her temples, "What kind of a dream was that? That was the first time I ever met Spike, but.he didn't get killed!" Faye threw her head back into the comfort of her pillow and sighed in utter confusion. Then a thought came across her mind.

"I wonder what's going at the Bebop. Poor Ed and Jet", she chuckled. "Maybe it's time I paid them a surprise visit."
