InuYasha Fan Fiction / Cowboy Bebop Fan Fiction ❯ Space Hanyou ❯ Two ( Chapter 2 )

Faye was angry, she wanted to punch something and make herself feel better. Balling her hands into tiny fists, she glared up at Jet, not liking the stern look her partner was wearing. “Why do I have to do it?”

 

“Cause I'm busy,” he grunted and turned away. Jet removed a panel and started tinkering with the electronics. Damn sanitation unit was acting up again, he didn't want to know what Ed had stuffed down the can this time. He was tired, bone tired and let Faye's incessant complaints trickle in one ear and out the other.

 

“Why can't Spike do it?” she whined.

 

Jet glared at the woman, annoyed by her petty selfishness once again. “Because Spike's asleep. Unlike you, we've both been up for two days straight hunting this bounty. All you had to do was just sit here with Ed and wait. I don't think I'm asking much by having you take the guy his dinner.

 

“Whatever,” she answered. “I'm not your damn servant, Jet.”

 

He snorted, fiddling with the wires, yes, there it was, a damn short. Every friggin time, he swore this ship was going to drive him insane some day. “Just fucking do it, Faye. Quit bitching for once and help, try to pretend you're more than just baggage on this ship.”

 

Stung, she planted her hands on her hips. “What if he attacks me or something? I'm not getting dropped to the deck by that creep.”

 

He was counting to ten, it had never helped before but Faye was really just standing on his last nerve. “Take a gun, point it at him. That's never been hard for you. Tell Ed to watch the visual while you're down there. That way if you get in trouble, Ed will give a yell and we'll both come running to save you.”

 

“Yeah, right,” she grumbled. “I just bet.” Sighing, she went to the locker and chose the most imposing looking rifle. It looked like it could stop anyone in their tracks and that's what she wanted. She slung it over her shoulder and took the food from the warming unit and went to visit their twenty million.

 

He'd done nothing but bitch and complain for the better part of the past few hours, demanding food or liquor, hollering out new insults regarding his cell. She rather thought he didn't want them to forget he was there. Either that or he just wanted to make sure he got on their nerves. She couldn't quite tell from the grainy reception they had on his visual, but he seemed to be having a good time thinking up new ways to be annoying.

 

Faye punched in the security code, her finger jabbing the worn keypad angrily. Just give him his damn food and leave. She wasn't going to waste her time talking to the fool. He looked up when the door slid open, a pleased expression crossing his face.

 

“Oh yeah, I knew you'd be hot.”

 

Great, she thought, another pervert. “Shut your fucking hole,” she snapped, making sure he knew she meant business. She flipped down a surface and dropped his meal. The rifle came up, leveled right at his face, before she started to back out the door.

 

He grinned. “Hey, you can't stay and keep me company?”

 

“Why would I want to do that?” Damn, where did he those eyes, she thought, letting no expression touch her face. She revised her earlier opinion, he wasn't pretty, and he was drop dead gorgeous.

 

Inuyasha smirked, reading her body language. Good, she thinks she's tough, he thought. He reached out and took the container from the fold down shelf. “Hmmm, smells pretty good.”

 

“Ramen,” she said shortly. “It's all you're getting so too bad if you don't like it.”

 

“Not at all,” he said with a dazzling smile. God, should his teeth be that white, she wondered. The tip of her rifle never wavered.

 

“What's your name?” he asked quietly, even though he'd already heard it.

 

“None of your business,” she answered sweetly.

 

His eyes lit up at her tone and she stepped back, suddenly feeling wary. “What's a pretty thing like you doing working bounty?” he wanted to know as he blew on the hot ramen.

 

She just frowned at him. “What's a pretty guy like you doing being a bounty head?”

 

Inuyasha was enjoying his little verbal exchange. “Fair enough,” he murmured. He glanced around and picked up a pair of chopsticks to eat and grinned again. Handcuffs would make it quite a trick. “I don't suppose you could take these off long enough for me to eat, could you?”

 

Faye laughed. “You've got to be kidding.”

 

He eyed her, openly letting his gaze linger on her breasts and legs. A delicious idea formed in his mind. “Hmmm, can't say I blame you. A girl like you has to be careful of a big bad criminal like me. You're cautious, that's good. I like a woman who can think.”

 

He pushed his bowl in her direction. “If you won't take the cuffs off, maybe you could feed me instead.”

 

She laughed again, amused. “You think I'm going to get that close to you? Try something else.”

 

“Like what,” he protested, holding up his cuffed hands. “Look lady, I'm shackled to the wall, my hands are bound together, what do you think I'm going to do? You can drop me with that cannon if I so much as twitch. Don't you think you've got the upper hand here?”

 

“I certainly do,” she said smoothly. “But I'm not going to feed you, believe me, I'm not the maternal type.”

 

His smile was wicked. “Good, because that's not how I've been thinking of you.” Tag. She blushed, he knew it. The day he couldn't make any female blush was the day he was going to lay down and let them make him into a throw rug. He sniffed the air, hmmm...her scent says she's interested, but she's too wary to get closer. Time to change tactics.

 

Her eyes followed him as he leaned back easily against the wall. He raised his arms to slip his cuffed hands behind his head and leer pleasantly at her. “You know, it really turns me on to have a woman try to dominate me like this. There's no reason this has to be an unproductive voyage.”

 

She caught her breath at the nerve of him. “What the hell is wrong with you?” she demanded, her face flushing again. “If you think I'm going to do anything more than hold this gun in your face, you're more cracked in the head that your psych profile said.”

 

He shrugged his shoulders. “I'm just saying you're in total control. I'm completely at your mercy, why not enjoy it?”

 

He saw her gaze flicker a little as she looked him over and grinned. He knew the kind of effect he had on women, this one was no different. He stretched, smirking insolently at her. The dark red vest he was wearing contrasted nicely against his toned golden skin, he knew she could see the ripple of each defined muscle on his chest and abdomen.

 

Faye's mouth had dropped open just a little, he was indeed an amazing specimen of whatever the hell he was. Her eyes hardened suddenly and he blinked when he heard the sound of her flicking off the safety on the rifle. “Get over yourself, hot shot. You're just one more cocky, conceited asshole to me. If you weren't worth more to me alive than dead, I might do the world a favor and take you down a few notches.”

 

This was going nowhere. Annoyed, he sighed heavily. “Okay, can't blame me for trying.” He started to pull his arms down and gave a sharp hiss of pain. “Damn it!”

 

“What now?” she asked suspiciously. Inuyasha was contorting in pain and digging at the back of his head. “My hair's stuck in the damn handcuffs,” he snapped. Well, wasn't this humiliating.

 

Faye thought so too and laughed. “Your hair? Come on, just yank it out, be a man about it.”

 

He glared at her. “No way, it will hurt too much. There's a big chunk of it stuck!” He wrestled with it for another moment, not really caring what she thought. “Shit, it's all twisted around.” His eyes fastened on her pleadingly. “I need you to help me.”

 

“No fucking way,” she grinned. It was fun watching him struggle, a wince of pain and a fine blush of embarrassment replaced the cocky leer. “Not so bad ass now, are you Hanyou?”

 

“This isn't funny,” he growled. Oh this was great, he just loved being stuck like this, it was a damn good thing his brother wasn't here to see this mess, he'd get one hell of a fucking laugh about it. “Just fucking help me,” he snapped.

 

Her snicker made him start to be angry. Faye leaned against the wall and smirked. “That's how you ask for help?”

 

Inuyasha looked up at her. “I'm sorry,” he said softly. “I was just playing around with you earlier, not trying to escape. You know you're pretty, don't tell me that's the first time someone has flirted with you.”

 

Flirting he called it, Faye rolled her eyes. He didn't look so tough now, with his hands trapped behind his head. In fact, he looked utterly ridiculous and pathetic. “If you ask me nicely enough, I might help you,” she cooed in a condescending tone.

 

His golden eyes met hers. “Please help me,” he begged, his eyes were wide and pleading. Faye liked having the upper hand and turned to secure the rifle so she didn't have to put it within his reach.

 

“That's a good doggy,” she smiled, seeing a little flicker of anger in his eyes. But he didn't dare say a damn thing, like he'd mentioned earlier, he was at her mercy. She reached out and grabbed a handful of his hair and shoved his head down.

 

“Oh, what a mess you've made,” she chuckled, trying to pry the silver strands out of the metal. “You really need to be more careful.”

 

He sat silently and let her work on it, feeling pretty humiliated but also aware of the splendid view. He grinned, he could look right down her clothes, which didn't cover a whole hell of a lot in the first place. “You have great tits,” he muttered thickly.

 

She froze. “You son of a bitch,” she snapped, and yanked hard on his hair. “You beg for help and just use it as an excuse to ogle me, you disgusting pervert!”

 

His arms came down around her suddenly, and standing as she had been with her legs on either side of his knees, Faye found herself sitting his lap with her own arms trapped by his. “Yup,” he said mildly. “I admit it, I am a disgusting pervert.” He yanked her closer and licked her neck. “Let me show you how perverse I can be.”

 

She fought to get to her feet but his arms were like steel. “Damn you! I'm going to fucking kill you, screw the bounty!” Faye was so angry she meant it too and usually money always won out over anger. She tried to get up again and felt his hips grinding against hers as he held her down.

 

“Don't be like that, pretty Faye,” he murmured again. “I'm not such a bad guy when you get to know me.” His nose had worked its way down her chest and Faye hissed when she felt those sharp teeth touch her breast. He sucked at her skin, making the blood push up against its surface. Even though she was angry enough to spit granite, the feelings weren't altogether unpleasant. A tiny moan escaped her lips when he moved to the other breast, his tongue slipping under the fabric of her clothing, testing and tasting for her reactions.

 

“Good girl,” he purred. “You know you want to give it to me, you're the tastiest cowboy I've ever run across.”

 

She felt his smile, felt him growing hard under her trapped hips. “Just relax and let yourself enjoy it,” he whispered sensuously. “Maybe we can hook up if you let me go, find someplace quiet and just fuck each others' brains out. I promise I'll make it worth your while.”

 

It couldn't be worth twenty million, a hard little voice spoke in her head. Oh no you don't, she thought, trying to ignore what he was doing to her body. “Let me go and I'll think about it,” she purred, matching his seductive tone.

 

Inuyasha looked up at her, smiling even as his tongue drew a line down her throat. “I'm not letting go, I've got what I want right here. I'm another minute you'll be doing whatever I want.”

 

That cocky tone infuriated her and Faye was abruptly out of patience. She leaned into him, ignoring his growl of pleasure as she buried his face between her breasts and took one of his fuzzy ears between her teeth and bit down hard.

 

He yelped in surprised pain. “Bitch!”

 

“Let me go, asshole,” she said through her clenched teeth. His claws dug into her ass cheeks and she jumped against him.

 

“You want it rough, I can do that,” he hissed. “If that's what you like, just say so.”

 

Great, it actually turned him on, she thought, feeling him starting to rub his pelvis against hers harder. “Son of a bitch,” she muttered and let the ear slide out of her teeth. The claws pulled out of her butt and she relaxed a bit. She felt laughter starting to shake his muscular body and looked down at him.

 

“What's so fucking funny?”

 

Inuyasha darted forward and kissed Faye hard, his tongue driving against hers and she felt her body start to go weak again. “You're funny,” he answered when he let her lips go. “I thought you were supposed to be a tough girl, I can feel how hot this making you. Take off the fucking cuffs.”

 

“No,” she snarled, glaring at him. He squeezed her tight against him and she felt the sharp points of his fingers trace down her back. “Even if I let you go, and I'm not going to, you wouldn't get of this ship.”

 

“Really?” he asked, starting to lap between her breasts again. “You'd be surprised what I can do.” She felt his hands on her clothes again and realized he was about to strip them off her.

 

“No, wait,” she said, squirming desperately.

 

“Uh, Faye?” a voice said behind her. Spike was standing in the doorway, rubbing his eyes and looking tired. “Ed said you were in some kinda trouble?”

 

“No, we're doing good,” Inuyasha answered cheerfully. “She's an aggressive little thing but nothing I can't handle!”

 

“Let me go!” Faye snarled, tearing at him. Spike just stood there, his head cocked to the side. She glared at him. “What are you waiting for, help me! Club him in the head with the rifle or something, Spike!”

 

Inuyasha pouted, looking over her shoulder at him. “Come on, man. I'm bound hand and foot, you think she got into this position without being willing?” Insolently, he raised his arms and let her free.

 

She spun around and slapped his face as hard as she could. “Miserable bastard, that's not what happened!”

 

Spike yawned. “Quit playing around Faye, we didn't drag this guy back here just so you could have some fun.”

 

She whirled again, her fists clenched. “You shut up,” she snapped, her eyes flashing. Fingers reached for her bottom and she jerked at the clawed touch.

 

“Bastard!”

 

She hit him again, his head rocked back but there was no mistaking the lecherous smile in his eyes. “I told you that turns me on, you little fireball.”

 

Faye snarled to herself and seized the rifle. Spike quickly grabbed it out of her hands. She fought for a second and then let it go, glaring at Spike. “Settle down, Faye. He's trying to get to you.”

 

“And succeeding,” Inuyasha mentioned. He grabbed the ramen container and started pouring the cooled soup down his throat. He was still hungry, after all. “Thanks for the eats, babe,” he mumbled as Faye stormed out the door.

 

Spike just shook his head. He didn't want to know what had really been going on, he didn't care really. “I guess Jet will have to bring you your dinner next time,” he commented.

 

Inuyasha continued to slurp. “You know,” he said finally. “Twenty million is nothing. My father would pay twice that to keep me out of enforcement hands. You play your cards right and you could end up very wealthy.”

 

Spike grinned. It was hardly the first time someone had tried to bribe him. “Sorry, we've already logged you. They know we're coming in.”

 

The hanyou kicked back his legs and stretched out on the bunk. “Just think about it for a while,” he said, getting ready for a satisfying nap. “Cops are greedy, you know how they hate paying out perfectly good money to bounty hunters. Hurts their sense of pride, you know.”

 

Spike considered his words thoughtfully. “I don't mind hurting their pride, as long as they pay me for the privilege.”

 

A wide yawn split Inuyasha's face. It really was too bad the jerk had wandered in when he had, he would have given that little fireball something she'd never forget. Now he was stuck with nothing else to do but nap. Spike turned to go when Jet's voice abruptly broke over the comm. “Spike, get your ass up here right now.”

 

He thumbed the mic. “What's the problem?”

 

“We got company.”
