A/N: Wow who knew all these sites were so complicated? AFF is just spazzing out on me, FF gets all hoozy doozy on me, again. So alas if you are feeling generous ( you know you are!) and want to write me a review because the sites really bugging out, feel free to write it on the only site that hasn't caused me trouble : MediaMiner.org .

Chapter 7:

It's All Coming Back To Me Now

Letting the kiss become more invigorating, Electra dug her hands into Spike's curly mop. The excitement running through her veins left as quickly as it had come as soon as a gunshot went off in the near distance.

Both pulled away startled as Electra got up and ran to the door, gun in hand. Unlocking the door and swinging it open she stuck her head out and looked both ways down the motel's halls. A gasp escaped her throat as her hand flew to her mouth.

"Oh my God!" Looking back at Spike and then looking once more at the purple haired woman lying bleeding on the floor down the hall, she ran towards the familiar face.

Skidding to a halt Electra kneeled down next to Faye and placed two fingers on her neck, checking for a pulse. Giving a once over of Faye's pale and bloody complexion she began to drag Faye back to the room two doors down.

'She's alive still! Which means I was right, she's-' Electra was caught off in the middle of her thought as a surprised choke left Spike's throat.

"What the hell? Faye!" Sitting bolt upright he quickly regretted it as the wound in his abdomen reopened letting crimson seep through his bandages to the surface.

Spike watched Faye lying on her stomach on the hotel room floor breathing shakily as Electra disappeared into the bathroom looking for supplies to clean Faye up with. 'What is she going on Mars, looking for me? Yeah right. At least one thing hasn't changed, she still screws up at everything she does.' The though brought a smirk to his face as his eyes never left Faye.

Electra scurried out of the bathroom to attend to Faye. Leaving her on the floor she bandaged her up while Faye's eyes reluctantly opened to focus upon the woman above her. ( A/N: I know I said Faye got shot in the chest, I meant to say the back, oops! )

I finished crying in the instant that you left

And I can't remember where or when or how

And I banished every memory you and I ever had

Curling her fingers inward her eyes darted around the room spotting Spike in the process. Sucking in a breath of air she shut her eyes again and wished away the painful image her eyes had just reflected for her. 'Do I miss him so much that I'm actually seeing him?'

Letting Electra add the the finishing touches to her wounds she settled into a comfortable position on the carpet.

"Faye, right?" Acknowledging her with a nod of the head Electra continued on. " I really have to talk to you about something when your feeling better okay?"

Nodding again Faye's eyes snapped open as the sound of sirens echoed throughout the room from outside. She watched as Electra's eyes darted to the window and to the door and back to the window. It was the I.S.S.P.

"Shit, the manager must have called the cops when he heard you get shot, I gotta go." Checking to make sure she had everything she looked towards Spike once more before making a mad dash for the exit. Flinching at the slamming of the door Faye let a sigh out.

"Faye?" Spike asked the figure on the floor next to him. Both made quite the pathetic scene.

Receiving a grunt in response to his question Spike continued on interrogating her.

"So what are you doing on Mars? Miss me that much?" Spike grinned at the grunt of disapproval coming from Faye.

"Better yet Spike, what are you doing in a motel? With Electra! Jesus put a shirt on before I go blind." Faye yelled voicing a question of her own to avoid Spike's previous question.

"I ran into Electra on the street while I was injured and she took me here too clean my wounds. And im injured Faye, so get your mind out of the gutter because I know you secretly love my body as I recall." Letting his face fall into the direction on which Faye was on the floor he missed the color on her cheeks before she spoke up again.

"Don't flatter yourself little boy, I've seen better. And by the look on the ladies' face it didn't look like anybody playing doctor. I think she likes you Spikey boy." Faye grinned to herself over her triumphant comeback.

There were moments of gold

And there were flashes of light

There were things I'd never do again

But then they'd always seemed right

Rolling his eyes, Spike decided to keep the hook up with Electra moment away from Faye. By all means Spike was not a stupid man. Sure he did stupid things. A lot. That didn't mean that he couldn't tell when a woman liked him though. Which was exactly why Faye could not find out, hell would be unleashed if she did.

He had to give her her props too, she wasn't half bad in bed, but he guessed that already. Anybody who flaunted around like her had to be. He could practically feel the woolongs in his pocket that Jet promised him.

They had made a bet when she first decided to mooch off of them. Whoever could get in her pants first won. I told him , the man with the hair always wins. She can't find out about that either.

A deafening silence went through the room as both said nothing. Feeling uncomfortable Spike shrugged her comment off and shot her another one of his own again.

"So, what happened to you anyway?" He tried sneaking a peek at Faye on the floor but decided against it when the pull of his still un healed wound screamed out in pain.

Waiting a couple more minutes he coughed for her attention, quite curious to who had shot her. Hell, why she was even here in the first place.

"I don't know." Faye said meekly, breaking the silence.

'There she is again acting so.. different.'

After a few more moments of silence while both were indulged in their own thoughts Faye spoke again, "I was at a bar, and I was drunk and angry. Everything happened so fast. The next thing I knew I was lying in the hall broke and bleeding to death," Stopping to close her eyes she continued on, "I just don't get it Spike, how could you do that? It made me so angry, all I wanted was to hurt somebody like you hurt us."

"You wouldn't understand."

"Then make me!"

"It doesn't matter, im here now"

If you want me like this

And if you need me like that

It was dead long ago

But it's all coming back to me

It's so hard to resist

"Yes it does. We cared Spike, and we thought you did too. We were comrades and you took what little trust I had and shot it to pieces."

"You and I aren't anything Faye. It just so happens that we dwell in the same living space. What you think just because I fucked you I cared?" The sharp intake of breath was enough for Spike to know she heard that one.

Spike knew she didn't deserve that. It wasn't even true. Too a certain extent he did care for them, they were like family in a deranged sort of way.

There were those empty threats and hollow lies

And whenever you tried to hurt me

I just hurt you even worse

And so much deeper

"Look, I didn't mean that. It's just, right now I want to care. I do Faye, but I can't. Every time I care for somebody they die. Everybody I had ever cared for died, Faye! Julia .. she's really gone now-"

"Save it Spike I don't want some lame ass excuse. I just want the same thing you want."

"You don't know what I want."

" Because you wont let us! It's a big universe Spike, sooner or later its all over and neither of us can stop that. You know, I really do care. Believe me I've tried not caring. Why do you think im lying here now?"

"Jet finally kicked you off the Bebop and you accidently shot yourself while trying to open the door to your room? " He could hear Faye scoff as he crossed his arms behind his head.Staring at the ceiling he decided to think when Faye decided to keep quiet for a while. Few and precious these moments were.

The soft pang and bounce of the bed made his eyes dart to the side of his bed. There laid the hand of none other then the wounded vixen's pale hand itself, open and ready to be grasped. Hesitantly Spike entwined there fingers together as they both sad quietly, basking in the care of the other.

But when I touch you like this

And you hold me like that

It's so hard to believe

That its all coming back to me now

Okay I know what you're thinking " their relationships moving way too fast " But alas, I have something up my sleeve so do not fret my little readers. Not only that, but I mean like come on. They already banged each other so they got nothing to hide. ( har har )
