"Faye, look out!" Faye turned around and met face to face with their
latest bounty head his gun pointed at her neck. Looking him over, she
noticed that the man's face was covered with sweat. What was she thinking?
This wasn't even a man, he's only a kid who couldn't have been no older
than 15. How the hell could he have shot and killed 6 people in an
alleyway? "Faye, get out of your head and shoot him before he shoots
you!!" Spike shouted.
Jumping from her place in front of the boy, Faye quickly switched the
tables around and stood behind the bounty, this time her gun pointed to
the back of his neck.
With brief slight smirk the boy, flipped clear over her head, making
Faye spring around to look at him. This time with a heavy laugh, the boy
kneed her in stomach and shot at her head. Faye ducked and jumped up from
the ground as fast as she could before the boy could do anything else to
harm her.
Spike, kicking the feet from the under the boy, placed one of his
large feet on top of the boys stomach, and cocked the gun at his neck.
"Move and I might just have to." The boy smiled, and grabbed Spikes leg,
flipping him over his shoulder. Spike threw his head back and watched as
his body collided with Faye's, throwing her and himself into a window,
shattering it in two. Minutes later, Spike gained control of his sight and
managed to stand again, only to see the boy standing in front of him.
With a queer position of his head the boy, through his head back with loud
malicious laugh towards his fallen foes. He never saw the bullet leave
Spike's gun. Watching the boy fall, Spike turned his attention to Faye.

"Spike, what the hell did you think you were doing?!" Spike turned
around to see Faye lying flat down on her back. Being the man that he was,
Spike bent down and poked Faye in the stomach.
"Well, then you shouldn't have tried to interfere with my bounty."
With a glance at Faye, he knew right away that he had struck a nerve.
"Correction Spike, Jet directly asked me to go after this one since
you got so knocked up from our last episode!"
Spike blinked. "Episode... is that a shrew term?" He mocked.
Faye tilted her head to the side so that she look at him. "You're
such an ass..." she trailed off
"I have a nice ass, yes." Spike extended his hand and looked into
Faye's eyes. "Did I hurt you?"
"Not really I..." She winced. "Oww," Faye grimaced.
"What-what's wrong?" Spike stammered. Faye looked at him and once
again tried to sit up. A sharp pain made her lay back down again. Spikes
eyes widened to Faye's wonder. "Oh Jesus, Faye, don't move!" From the
fall a piece of glass from the now shattered window had lodged itself just
below the crevice of Faye's collar bone. With each move she tried to make,
the glass embedded itself deeper into her skin. Faye took one final try to
sit up before the glass went clean through her back to the front of her
body. Lying down she looked in agony at Spike before licking away some of
the blood from the corner of her mouth. "Faye, hold on... Just stay
still... I'll call Jet!" But Faye didn't have the chance to hear him. She
had already passed out.

*Give me one good reason
To why you're so blind
I covered your back again
And you better cover mine
If I turned and walked away
Would you stick your knives in me
How much longer till you break
Until I walk away, walk away from you
Give me one good reason
To why you're so unkind
You know I believe, it's true
You know I believed in you
If I turned and walked away
Would you stick your knives in me
How much longer till you break
Until I walk away, walk away from you*

*3 days later*

As Faye awoke she noticed that all members of the Bebop crew, even Ein were
staring down at her with care and concern. She mainly noticed Spike. His
head was faced down and his attention seemed to be more interested with the
lines that traced the tiles, his head turned a little sideways. Jet and Ed
sat in two chairs that rested across from her bed, Ein piled into Ed's lap.
"Must have been a big piece of glass," Faye uttered.

Jet looked up and smiled at her. "More like 8 tiny pieces all into
your back and one large one that decided it was going to meet your front
side." Faye frowned and squeezed Ed's hand that now sat on the side of her
bed.
"Ed thought Faye-Faye was going to die. Ed didn't type on tomato for
3 days... Nope-nope-nope!" Faye smiled, and retracted her hand away from
Ed's grasp. "I'm ok Ed, but it seems as if Spike's gotten his head down in
the dumps." She started to smirk, when she noticed Spike stood up to exit
the room. "What's wrong with him?" She questioned herself, while turning
to Jet.
"Its not easy when your co-partner ends up hurt and the guilt starts
to take over." Faye looked down at the ground and let a tear fall.
"It still hurts..." She whipped the tear away trying to cover her
emotions.
"Yeah I know. Just try not to move too much, and get some rest,
alright. We were worried about you." Faye nodded, as Jet stood and placed
his heavy hand on her shoulder. "By the way... even though Spike killed the
bounty, we took the body into the cops and they gave us 4 hundred woolongs
for being the only ones able to actually ring him in. Apparently he was
only 15 but learned from his father how to kill at an early age...poor
kid." Jet smiled down at Faye and left the room, with Ed and Ein not too
far behind.
Faye turned her head slightly to hear Jet tell Spike something from
the hallway. Seconds later, Spike re-entered then set at Faye's. "I'm
sorry Faye... I didn't mean to hurt you." Faye looked up at him and
laughed.
"Don't be a lunkhead, for once it wasn't your fault. I didn't even
feel a thing." She tried to smile but instead started to cry as the pain
ached through her body.
"Hey-hey easy...it's alright." Spike soothed.

Faye rubbed at her eyes as the tears slowed themselves down. "I
didn't even feel anything... I feel like such a fool. Usually when glass
hits, you feel it. It's not like it's a comforting feeling!" Spike looked
back down for a minute before grabbing to hold her hand.
"The adrenaline was probably pumping so hard you didn't even know
what to feel... and I still can't help but think that if I hadn't of landed
so hard onto you that the glass wouldn't have embedded into your back the
way it did." With that Spike stood to his feet and squeezed Faye's hand
before letting go. "And for that I owe you everything... if it had hit any
main vein you could have internally bled to death...It's my fault." Closing
the door behind him, Faye didn't even have time to say something to stop
him from leaving.

*Walk with me
Open your sensitive mouth
And talk to me
Hold out your delicate hands
And feel me
Couldn't make any plans
To conceal me
Open your sensitive mouth
Hold out your delicate hands
With such a sensitive mouth
I'm easy to see through
When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you
Cry for you
Seen the tears
Roll down from my eyes for you
Heard my truth
Distoring to lies for you
Watched my love
Becoming a prize for you
Seen the tears in my eyes
Heard the truth in my lies
Seen the tears in my eyes
I'm not proud of what I do
When I come up
When I rush
I rush for you
I come up to meet you
Up there somewhere
When I rush to greet you
My soul is bared
Gave more for you
Dropped my crutches
And crawled on the floor
for you
Went looking behind every
door for you
And because of the things
That I saw for you*

*That night*
As Spike lied on that familiar yellow couch he couldn't help but let
his mind wonder back to that morning. The day's events replayed themselves
over and over into his mind, eating away at him. His mind yelling at him,
telling him that he should have grabbed the moment- seized the day! He
tried to shake it away but it wouldn't let him.
He closed his eyes but all he pictured was those damn emerald eyes.
Her curves gently fitting each turn of her body. That black tinted hair
that felt like heaven to touch. He sighed and opened his eyes only to see
Faye standing before him. "What's wrong Faye?"
"Nothing... can't sleep" He smiled and she invited herself to sit
beside him on the couch. Noticing what she was doing, Spike slid closer to
the side of the couch to allow her room to sit. "Why can't you sleep?"
She smiled noticing that he had made room for her and lied down beside him
so that she could look into his eyes again.
"Every time I close my eyes I keep seeing shades of deep red." He
smiled knowing she was talking about his eyes.
"Why are we doing this Faye?" Spike stared at her. His voice was low.
"What you mean" She responded, pushing some of his hair away from his
eyes with her fingers.
"We haven't argued in 7 days Faye... and everything is so calm." She
laughed a little and moved her hand away from his face.
"I've been in bed for 6 of those days." He laughed and slid a little
closer towards her body. Wrapping his arms around her waist she allowed
her body to relax and let herself enjoy the warmth of his body. Looking at
her he noticed that her eyes were starting to flutter closed.
"Faye.do you want me to carry you back to bed?" Closing her eyes
fully, she placed her hand on his cheek and left it there.
"I don't want to move." She uttered.
"Yeah... me neither." Looking down at the girl in his grasp, Spike's
eyes closed themselves with that final thought that had been stored down so
far into his head, "I think I'm really in love this one."

*I can't be losing sleep over this, no I can't and I cannot stop pacing
Give me a few hours and I'll have this all sorted out
If my mind would just stop racing
This cannot be happening
This is over my head but underneath my feet
Because by tomorrow morning I'll have this thing beat
And everything will be back to the way it was
I wish it was just that easy
I am waiting for tonight
Then waiting for tomorrow
And I am somewhere in between
What is real and what's just a dream
Would you catch me if I fall out what I fell in
Don't be surprised it I collapse down at your feet again
I don't want to run away from this
I know I just don't need this*

That morning, Faye awoke to the sight of the morning sun, shining in
her face. ''What the hell...?" She cursed. "It's too bright, where are we?"

"We're on Earth." Faye looked up to see Jet in front of her with a
plate of food. "Here...eat this. We're all going into town today." Rolling
her eyes, Faye sat up. With a grunt from Spike, Faye remembered that she
must have fallen asleep on the couch last night.
Spike stared up at her and stole a biscuit off the plate and plopped
it into his mouth, chewing excitedly. "That was mine..." Faye responded
to his gesture, and stood from her place on the couch, leaving her plate
sitting on Spikes chest. "I'm going to get dressed... Jet said we all have
to go into town today." With that said, Faye left the living room, leaving
Spike alone to finish her breakfast.
Minutes later, Faye was set to go. "I'm ready."
"That was fast." He smiled.
"Come here..." Faye motioned him over. Spike did as he was told and walked
towards her. With a smirk on her face, she kissed him.
Spike wrapped his arms around her and pulled away from the kiss.
"Faye," He cooed. Moving his head so that his lips could touch her ears, he
kissed the lobe.
"Spike is this right?" She whispered into his shoulder.
"I've never felt anything more right" Spike breathed closing his eyes
as he attempted to kiss her again.
"Ahem." The two jumped around to see Jet standing behind them.
"I don't know or do I care to know when you two got this out in the
open, but right now we need to get into town." Jet turned with Ed and
walked out of the Bebop leaving
the two to decide if they would follow.
Knowing that Jet would probably leave now without them, Spike slipped
his hand into Faye's and led her into his bedroom. Faye sat down on his
bed and watched as he removed his shirt and began to put on another. "No...
Leave it off." Faye's was practically begging him to.
Spike smirked and turned around to join her on the bed. Once he sat
down she moved, and crawled into his lap and snuggled closely to his chest.
"You know Spike... this isn't going to mess things up with us is it?
You're probably still going to argue with me and I'll just yell back and
pretend that I'm not in love with you." Spike looked down at her head.
"You love me?" Faye laughed, and looked up at him. His face was
shocked.
"Yeah Lunkhead, I think I do." She bit down on her lower lip.
With a smile, Spike lifted her head up to his lips as he watched as
her emerald eyes glew. She smiled, feeling whole as he gently pushed his
lips against hers in a kiss she never wished to let go of and a grasp she
knew she would feel holding her.
The End

*I feel you
Your sun it shines
I feel you
Within my mind
You take me there
You take me where
The kingdom comes
You take me to
And lead me through Babylon
This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again
You take me to
And lead me through oblivion
This is the morning of our love
Its just the dawning of our love
I feel you
Your precious soul
And I am whole
I feel you
Your rising sun
My kingdom comes
I feel you
Each move you make
I feel you
Each breath you take
Where angels sing
And spread their wings
My love's on high
You take me home
To glory's throne
By and by
This is the morning of our love
Its just the dawning of our love*
