Cowboy Bebop Fan Fiction ❯ The Kiss of the Scorpion ❯ Chapter 4 ( Chapter 4 )

The Kiss of the Scorpion 4
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. 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).

Spike typed the coordinates into the computer that would take them to his friend. He then sat back in the chair and observed the stars for several minutes. The stars seemed to have a calming affect on him and he closed his eyes thinking back to the year after the Vicious incident.
Flashback**************************************************** *
"Spike," said a male voice.

Spike opened his eyes and saw a male face staring down at him the man had black hair and dark eyes.

"Hey man," said the other male.

"How did you survive?" asked Spike curiously.

"The bullet missed vital organs," explained the other man as he helped Spike sit up. "I hurt like a bitch but I'll survive. How bout you?"

"I'll survive," said Spike. "But we have to get to a hospital."

"I hear ya man, I'll call for help."

"What do you mean?" asked Spike.

"I wasn't the only that waited for you to come back," said Shin punching some numbers into his watch. "They will be here in a few seconds."

"How many people have been waiting for me?"

"More people then you could possible know," said Shin.

Spike and Shin sat around on the roof top and waited in companionable silence for help to arrive.
End of Flashback***********************************************
"Where are we going Spike?" asked Jet walking up behind him.

"We are meeting some friends of mine," said Spike opening his eyes.

"Can they be trusted?"

"I trust them with my life," said Spike without even thinking.

"That's a first you hardly ever trust anyone."

Spike had no answer to that one it was true after the whole thing eight years ago he had lost trust in the human race. Then after meeting up with the Bebop Crew things slowly began to change, he slowly started to trust people again. He looked to the Bebop Crew like they were his family and he would do anything to protect them no matter what the cost. He closed his eyes and thought about how he failed to protect Ed from whoever it was that kidnapped her, his eyes opened and anger burned within their depths.

`Hold on Ed,' he thought. `We are coming to save you.'

Faye sat in the main room on the Bebop and held Hope to her rocking the child to sleep.

"Hush now baby don't you cry," she sang. "Sleep little angel don't you cry. Lay your head down, upon my shoulder sleep so silently. Dream so gently I'll chase your fear away. Try not to fear I'm here today. Don't cry my sweet little one, I'll let no one take thee away. You are my angel child, sleep so gently tonight. I'll be here when the morning shines."

Spike watched as Faye sang her baby to sleep; he lied to her when he told her she sang out of tune. In fact she sang perfectly and he wasn't surprised when the baby in her arms fell asleep. She could sing anyone to sleep if she wanted too, in fact he remembered a time when she sang Ed to sleep.
Flashback***************************************************** "Ed what are you still doing up?" asked Faye in a horse whisper.

"Can't sleep," said Ed jumping around the Bebop.

"You need to sleep because I need to sleep."

"No can't sleep."

Faye groaned and snatched up Ed and carried the child into her room plopping her down on the bed.

"If I sing to you will you go to sleep?" asked Faye.

After along moment Ed nodded and Faye started to tuck her in while she sang a song to the hyperactive child.

"Listen space child, sleep now star child. Do not let the moon stray from your heart. Always remember where you came from and don't forget the ones that gave you hope. Remember your dreams and continue to reach for the stars. Sleep well moon angel and don't stray far. Always remember your heart's desires and never stray from your true love."

"I think that Ed is finally asleep," said Spike from the doorway.

"What are you doing up?" asked Faye in annoyance.

"Your out of tone singing woke me up," said Spike.

Faye growled in anger and threw her shoe at him before storming out of the room.
End of Flashback**********************************************
"You sing beautifully," said Spike.

"Really?" asked Faye. "That's funny last time you heard me sing, you said I sang out of tune."

"I lied Faye," said Spike.

"Why?"

"I don't know. I guess I was scared of you leaving me."

Spike sat down next Faye and looked at her seriously for a few moments.

"What is it?" asked Faye after a moment.

"I want to tell you something," said Spike.

"Oh?" asked Faye. "What is it?"
