Author: Tsunami Rose

Spike sat at a bar a week later, the only thing he was able to think about was Faye. Faye sat in the red tail, above mars, lands and walks into a local bar. Spike walked out of a bar across the street and looked towards the sky. He walked into the motel he was staying at. Faye checked in at a 'random' motel, she walked into her room and turned on the light, which flickered a little, "FUCK!" she screamed, she turned off the light and fell backward onto the bed and sighed. "Mmm sounds like Faye" spike said to himself as her heard the commotion next door. The street light's light outside shines in her face. She got up to see if there were blinds, nope. "DAMNIT! WHAT THE HELL KINDA PLACE IS THIS? I WASTED MY DAMN WOOLONGS HERE!" she yelled. "Mmm" Spike smiled "defiantly a Faye" She got up and walked into the hallway mumbling as she went down to the office to complain. There's no one there, "Must be too late, cheap asses..." she walked back into her room.

Spike got up and decided that it's time to move on, "Jupiter's moon, Callisto sound's nice" he said and walked out of his room. She heard a familiar voice outside her room and opened the door to look into the hallway. "Spike?" she questioned, almost scared of a reply. Spike, who was walking down the hallway towards the exit, stopped in his tracks when he heard Faye's voice. She shrugged when she got no response from the 'stranger'. He turns around to face where the voice came from. She looked at him shockingly. "Eh..." she groaned, "screw this, I need a casino..." she said walking out into the hall. "Faye!" She looked at him, "yea?" She turned and walked toward the exit. "What are you doing here?" he grabbed her arm "Hey!" she screamed pulling away, "lay off.., why should you care anyway?" she said walking outside, not being in a good mood. "I told you why I cared before, now answer me, Faye!!" he said chasing her. "I'm here because I am, I've been gone too, since the morning you left," she walked behind the building and to the Red Tail. "Let me take you home" he said looking at her sadly. "No. I like this life better..." "Please" Spike grabbed onto her wrist and tried to make her face him, but having trouble. "LET GO!" she yelled. He manages to hold her tight but it's harder this time. "I know how to get there I'll go myself when I'm good and ready." She looked at him "You what? Left me!" "I did it for you" "If that's all, then let me go!" she yelled angrily. "If... that's what you really want..." he said with obvious pain in his voice. She looks at him. He gently releases her "I'm sorry, you should be able to do what you want... I..." She starts to look more caring and walks up to him "You leaving has changed me, I don't know, I...I'm lost spike." She blinked. "No, you're right... like always..." "This is your life Faye, but I missed you..." Spike said. "I missed you too," she walked over and hugged him, "I'm sorry..." "I wish you knew how I felt, I don't know how to say it on words." he said stroking her hair lightly. "I know, I know..." she trailed. He held her tight. She sighed. "C'mon I wanna take you out" he smiled. "Where?" she asked. "Somewhere special" he took her hand. She groaned not used to the attention.

"Hey!!!" someone shouted from behind them. Spike turned to find a member of the Red Dragon Syndicate, aiming a gun at him. "Faye, run" he said calmly. "No," she got her gun out. "C'MON!!!!" Spike yelled grabbing her hand and running "you don't know who your dealing with" She shot and hit the man, he fell to the ground. 10 more men come out. She starts frantically shooting, "damn!" she screams. Spike ran around a corner dragging Faye down the street with him. "Get on" he said running to a motorcycle. She gets on behind him. "Hold on tight" he said speeding away. The men, in a car, were close behind. She put her arms around his waist and leans her head against her back holding her gun behind her. The men start shooting at them, barely missing Faye. She turns and shoots windshield making it harder to see for them. "Climb in front of me, I don't want you getting hurt" spike yelled back. "No! I can't drive this thing; if you got shot I'd be screwed!" "I'll drive! Just get in front so I can protect you!!" he said looking back at her "please..." She climbed in front of him being stubborn as usual. When she is settled she looked up at him and wrapped her arms around his neck, he looked down at her, she is facing him, her legs draping over his and his arms were reaching under hers so he could steer. She shakes a bit, afraid for him. "Shoot!!" he said.

She stuck her head out from the side of him and shoots at the tires of the car hitting the first two, front.

Just as that happens spike gets shot in his waist he stifles a scream. He wrapped his arm around Faye's waist. "Shit..." she screams she figures out how to stop the motorcycle and drags him behind a building while she continues to shoot. "I'm fine" he said stubbornly and led the way to an abandoned warehouse. She stands her ground and shoot at the windows of the car killing a few guys. She looked back on Spike. He was breathing heavily as he pulled Faye into the warehouse behind the wall. "Run" he whispered because it was hard to talk. "No, I'm staying here....with you...." He pulls her against him so he's in-between the wall and her, it hurt because of his wound but it didn't matter "I love you..." he said touching her forehead with his. She gently pushed away and took off her jacket, she wrapped it around his waist, "There's nothing for me to do, I can't shoot well, you're hurt..." she mumbled on. He watched her take care of him and silently wonders what he did to disserve this wonderful treatment from her. She sighed and stood up, "I'll go...but to shoot, they're right outside..." she walked toward the door. "I can die happy if I know your safe..." he said reassuring her. "Then I'll go out there and get myself killed so you won't have to worry anymore" she puts her hand on the door knob. He walked over to her taking her in his arms and kissing her passionately "Don't." She pulled away, "We'll you're going to die, might as well..." She opens the door a crack and looked outside, seeing some men leaning against a nearby building. Every motion hurt but he manages to pull her to the ground. "Don't you dare" he said looking down on her. "Too bad..." she says, almost sassy. "I won't die, I can't" he said. "Oh?" Faye questioned. Spike took her hand, "not when I have so much to loose" "anything's possible..." she remarks, looking away from him. "Not this time, I'm not going to let you die, there's no way" he whispered playing with a lock of her hair. She looks at him blankly "you've lost it." "Think of it as gambling, Faye, and this time we're not going to loose like you always do" he smiled "SHUT UP!" "You've lost to me before..." she states. "Shh" he said placing a finger on her lips. She glared at him, a hard, angry glare.

"All you have to do is trust me" he said picking her up off the ground "do you trust me?" he looked deeply into her eyes. She returns the glance; "I don't know would it be wise?" she smiles thinking she got him there. "If you love me then yes" he replied almost laughing at her intention to throw him off by the question. She looked down, "fine," "Then let's go" he said holding out his hand, waiting for her to take it. "wWhere are we going?" she snaps, not taking it. "We are going to get out of here so we don't get killed" "You take the fun away from everything..." she said quietly. He starts to lower his hand realizing she might not love him as much as he thought "mmm" he said sadly. "I was being sarcastic 'Mr. I'm depressed'" she sarcastically started again. "I'm not depressed, Faye; I'm heart broken" he said turning and walking towards the back. "Right...why now? You're more sensitive than I thought....""you just never took the time to look "when did I before? We're always arguing...which you don't find too fun, and which I find extremely amusing..." "You coming?" he said getting annoyed with her. She looks at him; "yea, yea...." she walks up behind him. "I can still love you if you don't return it" he said sadly. "I know...." she said looking down. He takes her wrist so she doesn't feel uncomfortable, and leads her gently to the back door. 3guards stand waiting for them to come out. She moved her hand so that her fingers are intertwined with Spike's "Sorry again spike..." she said looking up and releasing her hands from his and reaches for her gun. "You have nothing to be sorry for" he said taking the gun from her. "This is my fight..." "No, but I wanna shoot!" "Don't be mad at me, I don't think I could take it" he said taking the gun from her grasp. "Damn you." He smiled and gently kissed her cheek before moving outside in the open. She touched her face, shocked, and then followed. He shoots the 3 guards easily. "Get in their car" "what car?" he pointed to a car parked across the street. "Ah…" "Get in" "which side?" she asks, "who in hell is driving?!" she looks at him, confused. Spike points his gun around looking for any more shooters "you wanna shot?" he smirked. "Sure," she says as she got in the passenger seat. He tossed her the gun and got in the driver seat.

She climbed into the back seat for better aim and turned to face the back window. "Where's your ship?" he asked taking off. "Near where I was staying..." she replied, looking for the men. "all right then" he headed down the main street and spotted 3 cars pulling out to follow them "heads up Faye" "where's yours?" she questioned in return, shooting the tires out on the cars. "Same" "I see," "which one you wanna take" "both, duh!" she says getting out and jumping in to the Red Tail. She starts it with the door open. "See ya, Faye" he called. She closed the door and hovered up; she zipped down an alley and started shooting at the guys that were following them. "For good this time, I promise, I'll never hurt you again…" he said and instead of getting in his ship he grabbed a gun out of it and ran out to face the remaining men. She sees him below "what the hell is he doing?" she asked herself. He started shooting guys but gets himself shot in the arm and stomach. And doubles over after killing the last of them; blood drips from his mouth as he falls over. Faye quickly landed and ran over to him. "Shit..." she lifted his head off the ground and set it on her lap, "Spike..." she cried, tears filling her eyes and splashing out. "For good this time, I promise..." he repeated before blanking out. "What?" she asked with great concern. His heartbeat started to fade away. "No! Don't die on me!" His 'last thoughts' were of Faye not loving him back and he shed what he thought was to be his last tear...

"I love you spikes...remember that..." she said quietly. She looked down at him and cried harder. She kissed his forehead and laid his head gently on the ground. "I wish you loved me..." were his 'last words' obviously not hearing what she said. Then he faded away. She sat beside him. "I do..." she whispered. She notices him breathing slightly, "No way." She carefully picks him up swearing the whole time about how heavy he is, and gets him on her ship and squeezes in also.

"...Faye..." he whispered in his deep sleep. She closes the door and takes off, "This thing BETTER get there fast!" She hovers up above the buildings and flies to the nearest hospital. His head comes to rest on her shoulder during the trip.

~At the Hospital~

Faye sat in a chair next to Spike's bed head in her hands, waiting. "Uh miss..." the nurse said. Faye quickly looked up, "yea?" "How are you doing? Is everything all right" "Who the hell cares about me, how's he is what I want to know!?!?!?" she screamed in the nurses face and glares at her. The nurse is a bit startled "It's tough to say" she said recovering "we can only watch and wait" she looked down at Spike. "Oh..."Faye said not so mad anymore. "It isn't going to be a happy ending though" she said and leaves the room setting coffee on the table for Faye. Faye looks at spike, and sighed. Then gets up and runs after the nurse, "What do you mean by THAT?!" Spike gently tosses in his sleep. She looks back at him, then back at the nurse, "so?!" "I can tell you really care for him" the nurse said looking back at the sleeping man "but he's been hurt too badly it's unlikely he'll survive the night, but his test show he's strong, he might hold on for you." Faye said nothing and went back to sit down next to him. "Do you?" the nurse asked, peeking in the door. "Do I what?" "Care for him... do you love him?" the nurse asked sadly. "Yea..." Faye sighed. The nurse leaves and Faye looks at Spike and places her hand on top of his. He gently stirs under her touch. She looks at him, "Spike?" she sighs figuring he won't answer. "Damn," she says to her self, "If I wouldn't have opened my mouth none of this would have happened..." "...Faye" She looks at him suddenly, "spike?!" "I love you" he said then fell back into sleep. "I love you too..." she said finding it pointless to say now. "I know…" he said and rolled over. "You do?" she asks, "Don't die on me ok?" she says in a whisper. "I'll.... try" he said weekly, eyes still closed. "Don't try too hard... you'll kill yourself trying." He softly chuckled but ended up coughing up blood. She wipes it off his lips. As a reflex he grabs her arm "don't..." "What..."

"Please don't touch me like that when you don't... he said finally rising from his sleep. "When I don't what...?" she asked confused. "Love me" he said looking at her intensely. She draws back her hand, "...but I do...I told you that...you, you weren't conscious..." He gets out of bed weakly, his back facing her. "then tell me now" he said with pain and longing in his voice. "I love you spike..." she said, eyes tearing up. He grabs his jacket, smirking. "What a great dream..." he said and walked over to whip away her tears, licking the tears off his fingers and walked towards the door. She looks at him, "what?" she gasps getting up. "My dreams have never been this real, I wish it were. I keep wondering why I've made myself week to you." He said opening the door. "That's so not me." he said closing it slightly behind him.

She kicks it open, and follows him down the hall, "asshole," she said walking past him. She stomps out of the hospital and out to her ship, opening the door and getting in. "Same old Faye, this is why I don't open myself up" he said collapsing on the stairs. Nurses and medics rushed to his side. "Shit" she says getting out and casually walking over to him. "Ma'am please step aside" they said pushing her back "he's in cardiac arrest" "my fault, again..." she said. "Excuse me miss?" one asked "this cant be your fault, he was mentally unstable before he collapsed, and he was having hallucinations." "Time for me to go too I guess," She says pulling out her gun. 5 men wrestled the gun away from her. "Fuck you all" she screamed. "No one ever lets me do what I want; I'll just buy another..." she mumbles. "They grabbed her and dragged her into a room where she was strapped to a bed with restraints. "WHAT THE HELL! LET ME GO! I PROMISE I WON'T KILL MYSELF!" "I'm sorry miss; until we run some tests you are considered to be suicidal and dangerous to yourself or others." a nurse said. "I can tell you I'm sane. For the most part." "Well we still need to run some tests" "fuck you." Faye grins. "If you'll excuse me I have a patient recovering from cardiac arrest in ICU I need to see." "Yea, whatever…"The nurse smiled "He's going to be just fine." "Right..." she said, looks towards the ceiling, "not when I get through with him…" "you better give me back my gun after I get outta this bed of hell or whatever it is...I'm a bounty hunter...I need it..."
