Cowboy Bebop Fan Fiction ❯ The Kiss of the Scorpion ❯ Chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

The Kiss of the Scorpion 5
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).

The room was filled with candles along the walls and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling that glittered brightly; the large windows on all four sides of the room were accented by garlands that gave off a soft piney scent. There was a giant pine tree in the far side of the wall where the orchestra was playing; the tree was decorated with silver tinsel, red and green glass ornaments. Ed walked down the steps on Scorpion's arm she dared not try to escape because he held her life in his hands.

All the men were dressed in their uniforms and the women were dressed in beautiful silk kimonos. Ed could tell that she wasn't the only young woman in the room. Quite a few of the older males in the room had young women Ed's age with them; and all of them were daughters. Although she had heard rumors that some of them were not their blood daughters; but were actually their lovers. The thought made Ed sick at the very thought of being touched like that by the old men.

Scorpion lead her to a group of his peers and their women, Ed wasn't comfortable being the only female red head of the group. She listened with interest to the conversation laughed to herself about some of their thoughts on various things. They were so off on the subject matter it wasn't even funny. People began to move out onto the dance floor and waltz around, Scorpion lead Ed onto the floor and together they began to waltz around twirling in circles.

Ed wasn't comfortable with how close he was holding her in fact she would much rather have ten feet of distance between them.

"You should relax," whispered Scorpion in her ear. "You are making it seem like we aren't really a couple."

"Your making my skin crawl," hissed Ed.

"Behave yourself onna," growled Scorpion. "I can kill you now."

"Then why don't you?"

"That would take away from my game."

"Ah yes, your game of turning me into bait for my old friends," said Ed rolling her eyes. "You do realize that Spike is dead don't you?"

"You are mistaken my dear girl," said Scorpion slowly. "Spike is indeed alive and well in fact I bet he is on his way here to save you right now; along with the rest of the Bebop crew."

"Spike is alive?" whispered Ed her eyes going wide in shock.

Spike watched as the Bebop landed on the planet were his friends were waiting. They were willing to help the crew get Ed back from Scorpion; this would start a war between both syndicates. He trusted the ones that had waited for him to come and take over the syndicate. He smirked and stepped out of the ship and was greeted by an old friend of his, Shin.

"Shin it is good to see you again," said Spike. "Its been a year."

"I know," said Shin shaking hands with Spike. "What's this I hear about you needing our help?"

"An old friend of ours was kidnapped and we believe that she was taken by the Dragon Head Syndicate."

"What would they want with your friend?" asked Shin as the two of them began to walk toward the building with Faye, Jet, and Ein following.

"My thought would be that they want revenge against me for killing Scorpion."

"True, but why would they wait this long in order to deliver their revenge to you?"

"Who knows," said Spike. "At this moment I don't care I just want to get Ed back."

"Well as usual Spike we are at your disposal," said Shin stopping in the middle of the room.

Spike and the others look around as the entire room filled with lights and cheers from both men and women. Spike thrusted his fist up into the air and the cheering got even louder.

"We are going to start a war with the Dragon Head!" shouted Spike. "We are going to rescue a damsel in distress!"

"Hell yeah!" shouted the men.

"These guys are starting to get really freaky," muttered Faye rolling her eyes.

"Oh come on Faye," smirked Jet. "Who said chivalry was dead?"

"I did," growled Faye.

"You must be Miss. Valentine," said Shin coming up to her.

"Yeah I'm Faye," said Faye in annoyance. "What ya want?"

"My name is Shin," said Shin taking Faye's hand and placing a light kiss on it. "And I am at your service."

"Oh," said Faye blushing as Shin strengthened.

Spike watched the exchange trying to fight back the jealousy he felt rise within him.
