Tears of the Angels

It was all a dream. Right? It had to have been. That couldn't be her body slamming into a wall like that. That couldn't be HER body-OWWW… okay maybe it could be. The bounty had thrown Faye clear across the room, and into the wall that not more than 10 minutes earlier was the home to the other two bounties' faces. To say the bounty standing before Faye was angry had to have been an understatement. This man... had to have had the blood of Cujo the loveable mad dog flowing through his veins. He just kept attacking, and each time she was thrown off guard and off balance, finding her body at the mercy of a man with the strength similar to Mohammed Ali…minus the grace.

Faye jumped up as quickly as she could, shaking her head and dodging the bounties next pale fist quickly. The bounty wasn't very ugly at all. On the contrary he was actually quite handsome. His hair was a dirty blonde, and his body was buff and thick, similar to Jet, but more on the Spike side. His skin was pale, and although it was a bit off from the hair, when the green eyes were thrown in, it actually complemented him nicely. Well, in a sick, eerie moonlight sort of sense. Sort of like Boo Radley from the book Faye read in the 20th century… To Kill A Mocking Bird… she would really have to read that again.

Faye had been backing up quickly as Boo rained his hits to her. He jabbed and punched with absolutely no rhythm in what had to be the first fight of his life. To say Faye was angry… well… was an understatement. She can't believe that she was actually punched… by a guy who more than likely could fight to save his life. She decided to end this now, to save both him and her the embarrassment. She charged at him, and lifting her knee caught him right in the groin destroying all chances of him ever having children. After he had fell to the ground she kept her back to him and lit a cigarette. Damn she really needed this. What kind of shit was that! She thought when he kicked her in her mouth that he was actually a great fighter. Now… he was just someone that watched too many Fists of the North Star episodes. How would she explain this to Jet? Her friends! Family! Oh yeah… she had none… right. Okay, well time to lug his stupid ass out now right? Just then she got a call from Jet on her earpiece in her pocket.

Faye? Are you all right?

Yeah I'm fine.

Well, maybe you can try bringing your ass down here. I hosed down the bounty and we are ready to go.

Yeah, yeah, hold your horses. I just caught the last bounty. Seems he was playing hide and seek with his buddies.

Okay toss his ass down, the more the merrier. Oh and don't refrain from bringing your butt down here too. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a mall up there or something.

Jet, I was just getting my ass kicked up here, think you can give just a LITTLE more sympathy?

Yes, yes, poor baby, not get your butts down here now! I'm wasting fuel damnit.

Alri-

Before another word could fly out of Faye's mouth, she slumped forward, unconscious, and into the dirty carpeting, with the bounty behind her laughing with an empty bottle in hand. Whose the best fighter now Ms. Faye? In the same breath he wished she wouldn't wake up. He was a bit too scared to fight her again. She would surely kill him. Slumping down next to her, he pulled a cigarette out of her purse and lit it. He had managed to run from 5 bounty hunters, this being his six. Now with his friends gone, what was he gonna do? How would he protect himself? He looked down at the knocked out woman on the ground. Too bad she was a bounty hunter, she was actually quite beautiful. And she even fidgeted cute. Before Faye could bring herself back to consciousness, he picked the remained neck of the bottle and forced it down on her head, knocking her out, and destroying any chances of her memory's survival.

He stood and before he could turn and exit a fist rained heavily down on his face, and his body fell right beside Faye's. His other eye began to swell close. Oh god! He can't see! How would he fight when he couldn't even see! He looked out and between swollen cheeks and busted eyes, saw only green before being knocked out. The last thing he would ever remember, was the feel of air surrounding his body, followed by a hard landing, and the strong stench of…. Stink.

Faye felt weightless in a body of water moving around her. Yup, she was dreaming again. The water was cool, calm and refreshing, soothing the pounding that had taken over her head and face. Damn… she needed an Alize for this one. She sat up, and looked around slowly. Wow, she was in the middle of an ocean. Good for her cause she really needed to pee. Faye felt herself trying to stand, but she couldn't, there was a force holding her down. Damnit… so she was forced to sit like this for an eternity? Great, just great. She looked down, and peered at her reflection. But the only thing she saw was Spike. Was he here for her again? Would he be able to take her away? She touched the surface of the water and watched as the ripples turned into waves and sailed away from her in a slow steady rhythm. It was hot… very hot. Suddenly, she saw and felt fire spread all around her, covering the sea and sky. Her lungs felt like they were on fire as smoke made its way into her body corrupting the gently cycle of cigarettes and alcohol. A tiny scream left her mouth as she forced herself to move away from the fire as it surrounded her, claiming her for its kill. Tears stung her eyes as the smoke demanded tears from her, and her fingers clawed at her skin from the intense heat around her. She turned around looking for anything, everything to save her. And she saw just what she wanted. Spike. He was standing there, in a sea of fire, and holding out his hand to her. She tried to reach him but she couldn't move. Her body, she couldn't feel her body. He walked slowly towards her and lifting her up, and cradled her in his arms.

Spike…

It was a mere whisper that had escaped her mouth, but it said everything that she had wanted to say in that moment. He whispered her name back, and pulled her close to him. It seemed for that little amount of time, they were together… in heaven, or hell. Whichever it really didn't matter because he was near her. The man who had invaded her thoughts, her dreams and her living was here besides her. Holding, protecting her, from the fire, the flames, the smoke. Tears of happiness threatened to invade her already crying eyes, as she looked up at him. His face, was some how calm, as the fire enveloped everything around her. She saw it take the ceiling quickly, and she felt the intense heat dash and slice at her body. She would have screamed had the pain of her injuries not came back, full force. Spike must have seen her flinch, because he pulled her closer to him, hoping to ward off the fire. Sadly, there was really nothing he could do, to keep the fire away. They were surrounded on all sides by the merciless element. They had been trapped for a while now, and he had been doing everything in his power, to ward off the Faye's death, but now, it looked like, it was going to happen. He wanted her asleep when it happened. He didn't want her to be conscious, he didn't want her to feel anything.

Anger and sadness flashed across his face as the flames cornered them in the middle of the room. He was angry with himself. He didn't want her to join him like this! She… didn't deserve to die right now. She had her whole life ahead of her. Children, love… he shouldn't have been so foolish.

Am… am… I going with you Spike?

Her words came out as a whisper, something short of a whimper. He looked down and saw fear reigning her eyes. She knew she was going to die. How could she not? They were in the middle of the room, a sea of flames swiping at them. He kicked himself for his stupidity. He would have much rather kicked her, but now was not the time for it. For the first time, Faye looked vulnerable. She looked like a scared little child clutching to him. He couldn't look at her, and he turned his head up and looked at the flames.

Go to sleep Faye.

What the hell do you mean go to sleep? I'm surrounded by fire!

A smile came across Spike's lips slowly… yeah, same old Faye, even when she's scared half to death. Well in this case, fully to death. Heh, he made a joke.

Shrew! Just be quiet and go to sleep okay?

Spike… I'm scared, damnit! Answer me! Am I going with you?

No Faye…I'm going with you.

His eyes caught hers in a sweet glance, and the next thing she knew, she had been falling, in Spikes arms, and then everything went black.

When she opened her eyes again… she was on the Bebop, and in the lounging area. It was dark... and her vision was blurry, but there was no doubt about it, that a cigarette was lit, and being smoked quietly inn the chair across from her.

Spike?

No, Faye... its me, Jet.

So it is.

I knew the smell of cigarette would wake you up.

Hey, that's not true! Just shut up and pass me one.

Heh, Here ya go sleeping beauty.

Jet?

Hm?

What happened?

Well, I'm not really sure myself. I remember you telling me that after you went back for the last pocket book, the last bounty had attacked you, and you took him out. I guess you must have managed to get his body out the window, before fire over took the building. They said it was started with 2 cigarettes. Not one but two. Nice going Faye. For the greedy one, a multitude of 1 degree burns.

Oh shut up Jet! I can't smoke to cigarettes at once.

Well, not as skilled as I thought then.

Faye shut her mouth really fast, and allowed a blush to flood her cheeks. What did he just say?

Heh, I'm joking Faye. But it appears that you were trapped in the building, and would have died, had the old creaky floor not given way. You fell to the lower floor, and lost consciousness.

Who would have thought that the housing system would one day be praised for their lousy housekeep. Well, how did I get out anyway?

I can answer that one.

Jet and Faye both looked up to see no other than lanky Spike standing in the doorframe. Well, they couldn't see him, but they could see his cigarette. Ed and Ein wouldn't have the nerve to smoke on the ship. Well, besides that one time. Faye watched Jet's cigarette bob up and down, and he stood exiting the room. Spike moved and sat in the chair Jet had just occupied. Try as she might she couldn't stop the grin from taking over her face in the darkness. Her stupid lunkhead was home.
