Guerre Froide
Hi! So thank you for the reviews everyone! Okay so let's continue this huh? !

Faye turned on her side hugging a pillow that was next to her. She slowly began to open her eyes and looked around her surroundings to see where she was. Suddenly she remembered what happened last night.
Spike was alive, and he was the leader of the Red Dragons.
She was still finding it hard to believe, sure she accepted he was alive, but that didn't make her any less mad at him. For two whole years they thought he was dead and he could have easily contacted them.
But he didn't.
Then again at least he had and explanation. She wasn't expecting that, she seriously thought she was going to have to drag the info out of him, but she didn't have to.
What really had her confused was the fact that he was the leader of the Red Dragons.
The LEADER.
'What the hell? I mean wasn't that the whole reason he was the way he was? And wasn't that what tormented him? The one thing he spent so long trying to run away from.' She thought.
She sighed and sat up. He never did make sense to her. Then again she probably never made sense to him. I guess it was better to control them then have to worry about them hunting you down.
Some way or another she still was hard to accept the fact. This is what had ruined everything she had. Her family, everything they had built up and now he was all good with it.
She finally stood and pushed aside the blanket. It was too hot; she hated that feeling in the morning. Hair stuck to her face slightly and needing water.
She took this time to look around. She was surprised this place was actually furnished, not well, but Spike had actually tried to put an effort in his "décor."
As soon as you walked in there was a small hallway, then to your right, if you walked further, was the kitchen and a table, very simple. On your left was a bathroom then further was the living room. Straight forward was a big window almost the size of the wall, so you had a good view of Deimos. More to the left was a spiralish stair case. That seemed to lead to a small hall and bedroom.
'hmm, defiantly a step up from the Bebop.'
'Well I guess being a syndicate leader has its perks huh Spike?' she thought to herself. 'Well while I'm snooping I might as well snoop in the kitchen.
She walked over to the fridge and began to look around for something to eat. 'You would think since there was never any food on the ship he would have some here.' She looked around some more before hearing a man's voice and a hologram face come onto the screen. "Good morning Mr. Spiegel what would you like today?" he asked.
She scooted back a little freaked out. Sometimes she still wasn't used to this new technology. "Damn, he even has a small butler huh?" she spoke out loud.
"Yup, cool huh, oh and yes you may go through my fridge." This was the voice of a man as well, but not the hologram. She slightly gave a jump and turned to see spike giving him and I don't care look.
"Well, don't you think you owe me huh? I mean you did kidnap me remember?" she stated raising her perfectly manicured eyebrow.
He gave a smirk, "not really, you did jip off one of my men, and let's not forget slightly injured 3 others. But don't get to flattered, we didn't send the good ones for you." He said walking past her to get a juice.
She crossed her arms. "So did you know it was me?" he leaned against the counter. "Honestly no, you were the last person I was expecting." He replied.
She closed her eyes. "Well, not my fault, they just came at me what were you expecting me to do? Go easy?"
He shrugged. "no." was all he said.
Then there was silence. After a few moments Spike spoke up, "well, I need to take care of a few things. You stay here and I'll be back." At that her head shot up to see him walking away. "What!? I can't stay here! I have a job and stuff too you know!" she shouted as he continued to ignore her. With a wave of his hand he gave a last statement before going to change. "I'm sure you'll be fine Faye."
She huffed and crossed her arms in annoyance. "Ugh."
Well this could be interesting.

Faye had been in his house for maybe 20 minutes and was already board out of her mind. As she was sitting on the sofa she thought of ways to escape. 'hmm, well always try the best way, the door.'
She got up and collected what she had on her when she was "kidnaped" and headed to the door. "So long Spiegel." She said with a wave to the pent house.
She walked out and looked around pleased to see no one here until she turned to her left to find a young man who looked to be about 28. He turned towards her as she came out and quickly guarded any way for her to get out from the left. She raised an eyebrow at him then asked.
"And you are?" she asked.
He gave a slight smile. "Samuel, and you must be Miss Valentine." He said grabbing her had to kiss it, she pulled away as soon as his lips touched it.
"yes, can I help you?" she asked impatiently.
"Well you see I was assigned to watch of "guard" you if you shall say, Mr. Spiegel said he wanted you under close watch so that is what I'm doing."
She looked at him with a what the hell look. "Wow, he really had you guys whooped huh?" he looked a little confused. "Excuse me?" he asked.
She just sighed and turned around. "Hey! You can't leave."
She rolled her eyes then turned towards him. "Oh? And are you going to stop me?" she said lowering the pair of sunglasses she took from Spikes room.
"Well, I mean, I can!" he said getting slightly frustrated.
"Well Samuel I feel like going out so either you escort me or you get in trouble by the boss, because you lost me. And I will not comeback on my own sir." With that she continued to walk.
He looked shocked at first then came to his senses. "Oh! Well okay, wait! I'm coming!" he said running after her. 'Man I am going to be in so much trouble.' He thought as he followed.

Faye had gone to many places with Samuel following her like a little puppy, somehow he ended up holding all of her bags from her shopping and what not. Oh she could get used to this; they walked into a local café. Faye stating her need to "rest".
"Whoa, just how much of this shit do you need?" Samuel asked putting down her bags as he sat down across from her. "Well, now that I have the money to spend why not spend it right?" she replied.
He sighed "wow, Spike sure has a pricey women huh?" at that she raised an eyebrow. "His women? Oh no no no, I am not his women, not no one's women."
It was his turn to raise a brow. "Oh? Hmm, sorry I thought...how do you two know each other?" she took a sip of her tea, then looked back at him. "I guess you can say we were partners."
"hmm, you know we should really get back already. Mr. Spiegel will be upset if you're not there."
"Ugh! You're too uptight! Just relax already, he'll be fine. Just how far does he have his finger up your ass anyways huh?" she said rolling her eyes.
He looked surprised for a second. "Uh…well it's not that It's just he's my boss, you know?" he said scooting back in his seat.
She looked at him. "hmmm, when is that last time you actually had fun huh?" she asked. He shrugged then she said. "okay, I am going to take that as a long time. Look, see any women in here you like? I bet you can get a number." She said looking around the room.
"Uhh, I don't know, I mean that's not really my thing." She looked at him skeptical. "Not your thing? What are you gay or something?" she asked.
His eyes widened. "No! I just mean I'm more focused on my job not personal stuff." He answered. "Well get focused on personal stuff, come on you must be what in your late 20's? You're not getting any younger. Go!" she said encouraging him.
"Uh, well, okay she is kind of pretty." He said pointing to a brunet in the corner. "Okay well go! Ask her out or something!" Faye said.
"I just go up to her?"
"yes"
"okay~"
Soon Samuel worked up the courage and went to talk to the women. A few minutes later he came back big smile and all. "She gave me her number." He said with a big grin.
Faye smiled. "See, you did it. Okay now we can go." She said standing up and they were on their way.

Spike was sitting in his office looking over the assassination list. "Okay Linda, did we get Terence Yetten taken care of already?" he asked his assistant Linda.
"Yes, sir all taken care of, we sent Erin, Steve, and Cherie. Anything else?" she asked. "No, that's good for today; make sure we get the rest of the money." He stated "an tell them the job is done." He said referring to the people who hired them.
"Okay, oh and we got another letter from the Black Ravens, they seem more serious this time. Don't you think you should take precaution to this?" she asked.
"They can't do anything or else they know the consequences. They have to be smarter than that." She sighed and pulled out the letter handing it to him.
"Well, I still think you should look over it tonight. I'll be going now, good night."
"night." he replied.
On his way back to his courters he read over the letter.
Dear Mr. Spiegel,
I realize you aren't going to respond to my letters so I must take matters into my own hands. I will not tolerate being ignored monsieur, so be aware of every surrounding, for I will NOT back down. Why the need to fight you monsieur? Well you will just have to wait and see.
au revoir
-Julius Airoide, Black Ravens.
Spike crumbled and threw it against the wall once he entered his apartment. He didn't know what this meant, but he wasn't going to let it get to him. One thing for sure he needed Faye gone. He didn't want her to get tangled up in all of this.
Then he realized. 'Where is she?'
"Faye" He called out.
"Yes?" he heard her say behind him as she walked through the door with her things.
He raised a brow. "And where were you may I ask."
She smiled and put his glasses on him. "No may not, but let me tell you the people who are supposed to keep me in here, well they don't do a good job of it." She said as she sat down.
He gave a smirk as he took of the glasses. "Yeah, I didn't give you my best; I didn't want to give him a hard time."
"humph, I would have liked to have a challenge but okay,"
There was a silence until Spike spoke. "You can go home tomorrow Faye, tonight you can have the bed."
She looked up at him, "oh okay, thanks, well I guess I'll be going up now. Night." she said as she began to walk up the stairs.
"night." he said then they were on their own to sleep.
