Cowboy Bebop Fan Fiction ❯ The Kiss of the Scorpion ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

The Kiss of the Scorpion
Author's Notes: This is a combination of Cowboy Bebop the Anime and Cowboy Bebop Shooting Star. It takes place around five years after the anime ends. I have seen the entire series (A/N: my family has two copies and I'll probably buy the set again for myself), I have both Shooting Star mangas, and I have the movie (I have yet to see it I probably should at some point). Now for the warnings there will be rape in some of these chapters but they will eventually turn into true love (A/N: don't ask I think you will get the idea as the story goes along).

Ed was on a few weeks past eighteen and was walking through town, while Ein walked along beside her. The two of them were going to get some food that she and her father would need for the week. She was wearing a light pink sun dress; that had spaghetti straps and a large pink bow; in the back, she also wore a matching set of white flats. The reason for the bow was to hide the gun she had been carrying around with her since she turned sixteen and had started to be looked upon by males with lustful thoughts. Her red was basically the same style except she had let the bottom half grow out to her hips and always kept it in a braid. At the age of sixteen she had lost all her baby fat and seemed to have become a young woman over night much to her discomfort. Her eyes still had the same golden-brown brightness about them as they did when she with thirteen years old, although now they also showed the wisdom she had acquired over the years.

Ed decided to buy some flowers for the table back home to lighten up the place since she hardly ever saw her father and the place seemed gloomy. She missed her old friends from the Bebop crew and hadn't heard from them in a year. The young woman was so deep in thought she didn't realize she was being followed by some old enemies of the crew.

"Do you see her?" asked one man from the top of a building into his communicator.

"Of course," said another man into his own communicator across the street. "She is headed you way red team prepare to strike."

"Right sir," said a man.

Three males appeared from the shadows and moved to follow Ed keeping to the shadows and a small distance away from her. They watched has she walked inside a small store to get some meat.

"Alright men," said the first voice. "After she leaves she will walk into an alley. Follow her and surround her in there we will bring her back to him, once we have. Remember men we will only have one shot at this. If we fail in this mission he will have our heads. Move out!"

"Sir!"

The moment Ed left the store she went into an alley as predicted and soon found herself surrounded by men in dark suites and sunglasses. She immediately knew something was wrong by the way they were standing with their hands in their jackets.

"Can I help you?" asked Ed switching her packages slightly so she could have more freedom of movement.

"Our boss wants to see you," said one of the males.

"What for?" asked Ed getting worried.

"He wants to see you about a man you used to know."

"What man?" asked Ed.

"Enough talk," said the man pulling a gun from his pocket. "You will come with us."

"I don't think so," said Ed throwing her packages at him and the men around him so she could make a break for it. "Run on Ein!"

Ed ran through the streets weaving in and out of the crowds trying to loose them. Although the males were smart and there were a lot more of them then Ed thought. Before long no matter where she turned she saw a glimpse of one of them in the crowd heading toward her. She broke off into a run toward the slums of town and disappeared inside an alley. She could hear them running toward her, they were gaining on her. She skidded to a stop when she realized she had made a wrong turn and was heading for a dead end.

"Damn," she whispered whirling around only to find herself blocked against the dead end.

One of the men stepped forward pulling out a gun and he fired it. Ed looked down and saw a dart sticking from her arm.

"Ein," she said slowly. "Go get help!" Then her world turned a faint shade of grade and she collapsed onto the ground.

Before darkness came across her she saw Ein running toward the alley's entrance, weaving in and out of the legs of the men.

"Leave the dog he only wants the girl," shouted one man before Ed's entire world succumbed to darkness.

When Ed finally awoke she found herself resting on an elaborate bed with a canopy over the pillows. She sat up and looked around realizing that she was in someone's bedroom, and that someone was very important and very rich.

`Where am I?' she thought to herself.

She looked down and realized that she was still in her own clothing so nothing happened that shouldn't have. She heard rustling in the corner and turned to see a man seating at an elaborate desk in the shadows.

"So Edward you are finally awake," said the male voice standing up and coming to stand in the front of her.

"You!" shouted Edward leaping from the bed and reaching into the bow for her gun, only to find it not there.

"Don't bother," said the man holding up her gun. "You are at my mercy from now on."

"What do you want? How did you survive?"

"What I want is simple I want revenge."
