Cowboy Bebop Fan Fiction ❯ The Kiss of the Scorpion ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

The Kiss of the Scorpion 7
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).

Spike sighed and leaned against the wall, he had heard the entire conversation between Shin and Faye. He wondered if the two of them were falling in love with each other, the thought made him flinch because in truth he was in love with Faye, and had been for a long time now; he cursed himself for not telling her soon enough. He should have told her before he left but pride and vengeance had gotten in the way. He wanted desperately to be with Faye but from the looks of things she had moved on. He wondered if she had even waited for him after she found out he was considered "dead".

"She waited for you, you know," said Jet coming up behind him.

"What do you mean?" asked Spike looking at Jet while at the same time pushing himself off the wall.

"She waited for you long after we thought you were dead," said Jet placing a hand on the other man's shoulder.

"Do you know if Vicious is still alive?"

"I have a feeling that man is very much alive and waiting to take Faye again," said Jet after a long moment of silence. "This time I believe he will also strive to have the child he forced her to have."

"Why didn't she abort it?" asked Spike. "That is legal you know."

"Yeah Faye was considering for awhile but we did research on the subject and she wasn't going to risk all the health risks that are out there. Besides, I think she wanted to keep the child since it was after all also a part of her and I don't think she wanted to loose that part."

"Oh," said Jet.

"Jet?"

"Yeah?"

"If you aren't going to profess your love to her, then it's not right that you prevent other men from chasing after her you know."

"I know," said Spike after a moment. "I just find it hard not to let myself love her, I mean I have to protect her from my past."

"That protection didn't save her from vicious."

"Why do you have to remind me?" asked Spike.

Jet was about to retort when Ein walked up to the two men holding out his collar.

"Ein what is that you have?" asked Spike crouching down next to the dog.

The dog placed his collar in his hands and barked once. Spike looked down at the collar and noticed the name tag was blinking.

"Huh?" he said looking at it more closely.

"What do you think it is?" asked Faye as she, Jet, Spike, Ein, and Shin were gathered around a computer.

"No idea," said Jet working quickly. "Only one way to find out."

The room was silent for several minutes as Spike opened up the program and they watched as a the computer screen brought up a picture of space and showed a blinking light out in the middle of several moons.

"What the?" they whispered softly.

"Do you think that is Ed?" asked Faye.

Ein barked eagerly and the group turned to stare at him before turning their attention back to the screen.

"Go Ed," whispered Faye.

Ed lay in bed unable to move from her place, as she had been chained to the bed. He didn't trust her while he was asleep ever since that one night after she had placed her earring at the window. He still didn't know that it was there; which is probably a good thing since she didn't want to find out how he would react if he did find out. She sighed and allowed her hand to trail down his chest feeling the chains clink together gently.

"I wonder about you sometimes," she whispered softly. "You are so different from everyone else I have ever met. You are so cold and unfeeling, you are smart and strong, you show no emotion and enjoy conquering things yet you do have feelings Scorpion and I intend to bring them out. I will do that if it is the last thing I do. It is the least I can do for your grandfather who mourned your "death" until the day he died. I will bring you back to the boy you once were or at least make you more human."

With that thought in mind Ed allowed herself to drift off to sleep soon she would set about bringing about his human nature. It shouldn't be that hard should it?
