Live Twice and Sin No More

Hey guys... ok.. so here is the new chapter.... this chapter took me all night to write and i really hope you like it. juicy stuff in this one.

Dislaimer: I do not own cowboy bebop blah blah blah




The call was indeed from the detective with the good news, and spike didn\'t waste any time getting writing down the address he got into his car and sped to see his love. It didn\'t take him long to get to the richer and healthier part of Mars. Though he couldn\'t see Julia living there with all the stuck up snobs. True it was safe here, and the air was cleaner due to the money given to the government by the rich folk. No place for a cowboy that\'s for sure. Standing in front of the building spike hesitated a moment. What if she met someone else? perhaps he was providing this luxury for her and loved her just the same.

*Screw it, I didn\'t come this far to give up now* and with that thought spike entered the building though he was still hesitating in the elevator and in the hallway when he got out. But when he stood in front of the door he couldn\'t wait any longer and knocked with all his might.

After a few minutes he was thinking of leaving when the door slowly opened and blue eyes peered at him in puzzlement.. blonde hair cascading down the back of what seemed to be a fifty year old lady.

\"yes?\" her cracking voice asked \"may I help you?\"
\"uhhh...what floor am i on ma\'am?\" spike asked scratching his head with a light grin.
\"the ninth\" she answered with a nod.

Parting with a thank you and a goodbye, an embarrassed spike once more made his way into the elevator and got off on the tenth floor. Down the hall he stopped in front of the door and knocked with the same urgency.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Faye stood up from the couch and turned off the TV at the knock on the door, she was sitting in nothing but a robe but whoever it was could go fuck themselves. With a light yawn and her hand on her hip she opened the door with her other hand \"ya what do you....want....\" her eyes widened and she slammed the door in the intruders face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spikes jaw dropped and he looked around to make sure he got the right place, the knocked again. The door opened and as if nothing had ever happened a purple haired, green eyes Faye opened the door unwilling to look at him but instead examining her nails.

\"yes? something you want?\" was all she asked. \"I...uhhh...\" shaking his head spike gathered himself and grinned \"hey there Faye. good to see you again\" thought he knew he got the right address he didn\'t understand what Faye was doing there. Were they living together?

*The bastard, the asshole, out of all the pig headed cowboys to wander into her life spike had to be it. and once more he acted as if nothing happened!!* clenching her fists she swung at him as hard as she could but he caught her wrist and twisted it backwards pulling her towards him. He could smell her clean flesh.. the aroma from her hair and Faye was conscious of this. \"you hair smells nice\" he remarked. \"spike? did I just hear you compliment me?\" he let her go and she adjusted her robe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He
Hearing the commotion Julia stepped out of the kitchen and saw Faye adjusting her robe but as soon as she saw who was behind her she nearly fell to the fall and had to will all her strength to help her stand and make her way towards him. He didn\'t change at all, not one bit, and he was here. Both Spike and Faye turned to look at her and Faye stepped out of the way for, what she guessed, was going to be passionate make out seen and some cuddling. All spike did was enter the apartment and embrace Julia in his arms as hot tears streamed down her cheeks.

Faye couldn\'t watch this anymore. She left the room and let them talk, she didn\'t want to gag watching the two love birds. She sighed in defeat, things just got more complicated.

Standing outside on the balcony she tried to avoid the pain that was stinging her heart. How much more could she take? she thought she could overcome these feelings that haunted her so many nights. But living with Julia she knew the idiot would go looking for her and she would eventually see him again. Running from your past in never good, and she knew that, but how could she not? when someone you love loves someone else threes nothing left for you to do.

The sliver tears ran down her cheeks hearing the muffled voiced of Julia and spike talking in the background. This was enough, love or no love, feelings could always be denied and that\'s what she intended to do. Wiping her tears away she stepped inside the apartment and sent a cold stare in their general direction as they both sat there in each others arms looking at her as if she was an intruder. *oh fuck you all* she thought and spinning on her heel turned to weapons room and went in slamming the door behind her.

Minutes past and then the door flew open and Faye walked out holding a gun, this one had a laser type site which assisted in those hard to reach targets. adjusting the gun to make sure the ty wty was on she grabbed her red jacket now dressed in her old yellow overall and sunglasses, her hair in a pony tail she took one look at the couple and smirked.

\"uhhh...where are you going with that Faye?\" Julia\'s voice was heard first. \"what? this little toy? oh don\'t worry I\'m just going to have alittle fun.\" she answered. \"what...kind of fun?\" she asked.

\"Julia...sweetie...fuck off\" with that she grabbed her keys and tossed them in the air, catching them she lowered her sunglasses and winked \"have fun\" and then she left as fast as she could.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stretching in bed spike sighed in contentment, last night Faye acted like a whore. Nothign different for her. Last night he didn\'t get much sleep anyway and as much as he hated to admit it to himself he was thinking if Faye. What the hell caused her to run off like that anyway? He\'ll never understand women. But right now all he wanted to do was get dressed and get himself some coffee, Faye was probably in bed already sleeping.

Getting up he didn\'t bother to get dressed but simply put on a robe over his naked form. In four long strides he quickly reached the bathroom and dropped the robe on the floor getting into the shower and turning on the cold water mixing it with the hot causing warm water to ripple down his skin. He felt the warm envelope him, his mossy green hair dropping down over his eyes. Two feminine hands delicately wrapped around his waind hnd he felt his body being pressed against another warm being. He smirked to himself but the smirk quickly disappeared off his face as he heard the words \"morning lunkhead\" being tenderly said to him. Only Faye called him that.

\"Faye? what are you?...\" he was truly stunned yet he made no move to stop the urging hands that ran along his torso but froze as they pulled away. \"Faye? FAYE?!\" turning around spike was looking at the angelic, but extremely angry, face of Julia. He supposed she just heard Faye call him that and it was a slip of the tongue. Reaching for her, he took hold of her shoulders and pulled her towards him. \"I\'m sorry, please look at me.. its just that only Faye calls me lunkhead and I was surprised is all.\" \"You swear?\" she turned a death glare at him. \"I swear\" was his reply followed by a heated kiss that madatevatever grudge she held on him disappear in a moments breath. Her hands were around his neck in second and his were trailing along her hips and flat stomach.

Then a ringing came from the bedroom that was quickly ignored by the couple in love. Though they tired it kept ringing, and wouldn\'t stop. With a final defeat Julia pulled away and sighed \"hold that thought\" she said as she slipped out of the shower and into a towel rushing for the phone. picking it up she heard a muffled voice and then \"hello? hello? ms. Julia?\" \"what? yes...this is Julia. who\'s asking?\" \"you are friends with ms. Valentine is that it?\" \"yes, but, who is this? where is Faye?\" panic was now rising in her voice. They may not have been the best of friends but they shared some sort of bond after living together for four years. \"I am doctor Farrell and I\'m afraid your friends has suffered a mild injury, she\'s in the hospital if you would come pick her up....\" She quickly jotted down the address and room number and put down the phone, turning around she nearly fell back seeing spike in front of her. \"who was it?\" he asked creasing his brow in concern at the look on Julia\'s face. \"I\'ll explain on the way get dressed.\"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

\"NURSE!!!!!!!!!!! GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!\" \"please ms. valentine if you would just wait a few more minutes\" came the nurses gravitated reply. She\'s been assigned to take care of Faye while she was healing and waiting for someone to pick her up. \"I\'ll take it from here\" said spike leaning against the doorframe of Faye\'s room with a coy grin on his face. The nurse rushed to him looked at him with admiration \"oh bless you sir\" then she ran out of there faster than you could count t three. \"are you alright Faye? the doctors say you were just hit with a bullet in your shoulder. how did it happen?\" the mossy green haired man asked her as he approached her bed. \"you know what spike, spare me, I don\'t need the feely touchy deep conversation just because you pity me for getting hurt.\" \"ook....touch-E.\" \"ugh!!\" gritting her teeth Faye grabbed the nearest thing in sight which happened to be a lamp and trough it at him. He easily dodged it but had no luck with the coffee mug that hit him in the head.

Rubbing his head he stood and a low groan escaped his lips \"was that really necessary?\" \"YES!\" she barked at him trying to get up and when she did she realized another pair of hands was assisting her. looking up she met his gaze for a solemn moment and lost her self in those two shaded eyes much as she wished to pull away she couldn\'t find the strength. \"maybe we should just get you home\" his voice dropped considerably low and he hated to admit to but he too was lost in those green orbs. \"hey g" ca" came Julia\'s cheery reply as she entered the room causing spike to release Faye frantically and send Julia a coy grin. Faye having no sense of balance dropped down on her ass and looked over at Julia with a death glare \"lets go... now.\" The venom in her voice was unmistakable but at the moment, seeing the look on her face nobody was about to complain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was three o\'clock and Julia had recently left to go shopping for more food since spike was supposedly going to stay longer then expected. Faye was sitting on the window sill in her room, the window was open and the fresh air in this area of mars was not only healthy but refreshing as well. She wasn\'t doing anything in particular, only staring out at the people going about at their days work. It has been nearly a week since her day in the hospital and her shoulder was feeling fine but Julia so forcefully implied that it still wasn\'t safe for her to go out and about. *Is the bitch having a good time watching me suffer knowing i have to look at the happy couple, one more make out scene at the dinner table and I\'m going to shove a fork down her throat* Faye smirked to herself at the vision of that.

\"are you busy?\" she turned to look at spike who had been watching her for, what she guessed, awhile now. \"Does it look like I\'m busy?\" she asked thought nn hen her usual cold manner. She was tired of fighting with him. She just wanted to rest and maybe go out for a while. \"guess not, come on get dressed were leaving\" he then turned leaving her to get dressed. \"wait. were are we going?\" she asked rather surprised at his command as she stood with a confused looked across her features. Turning over his shoulder his grinned \"out\" was all he said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

\"yes\" Faye moaned in sheer pleasure. \"oh god\" was all a breathless spike coulnagenage to say. He listened to her as she moaned again, another \"oh yes\" escaped her luscious lips. \"damn woman.. \" his voice trailed off as he tried to catch his breath, that was some workout. Leaning closer she whispered in a seductive manner \"you owe me five big ones spike.\" \"oh come on, it was so obvious you cheated.\" They were both struggling to catch r brr breath after a very exciting contest of who could finish off their ice cream faster. Faye, being Faye, of course won and spike had no choice but to hand over the promised ten woolongs. \"where do you put it all?\" he asked in astonishment. She smirked and gave him a small wink \"maybe,youryour good, I\'ll tell you some day.\"

After that little ice cream session they went to a casino, stayed there for a while but spike soon got tired of that too. \"can we leave?\" he asked like a nagging child. \"nope..\" she said this with great satisfaction. \"come on Faye.. this has gone far enough.\" \"just because I beat you in a few card games spike? O\' sigh, all right then. where to?\" He grinned in appreciation and grabbed her wrist \"back home, if Julia finds out you were gone she\'s going to kill me.\" \"ok\" was the only thing Faye said trying to stop her laughter from following through knowing full well they have been out for at least three hours and Julia was probably back by now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The elevator opened and they walked out, spike was rubbing his shoulder w Fay Faye had recently punched him for calling her a shrew after she called him a lunkhead after he said she...well you get the idea. walking down the hallway they stopped at the door and noticed it was open. With a tint of concern in his real eye he looked back to her and whispered \"wait here.\" She could only nod and wait as he entered the apartment, nothing had been touched, no one was there and the first thing to cross his mind was Julia. Rushing into her room he searched for her but to no avail. \"she\'s gone\" he heard Faye behind him and turned to see her blank face. \"why?\" was all he managed to say, why would she run after he assured her he loved her, that they could be together.

Faye walked over to the bedside drawer and picked up a picture that was carelessly lying around. Three people laughing together were imprinted on the picture, but she only noticed one and realion don dawned. Looking at the back she saw that the picture was entitled \'good old times weren\'t they spike?\' as if somebody left him a letter, a piece of the puzzle. On the picture was Julia spike and vicious, looking at his, the menace hiding behind that fake smile she shuddered and dropped onto the bed hugging herself. \"Faye. Faye what is it?\" in two long strides spike was beside her, one glance at the picture made him understand. *the bastard, hasn\'t he killed us enough for his sadistic pleasure?* he thought. *why the hell is Faye so upset anyway?* \"Faye. are you-\" \"yes\" she cut in, the venom in her voice cutting like a knife through the tension \"I\'m fine.\"

\"are you sure?\" he asked but she didn\'t look at him, turning away she glued her gaze to the answering machine and it was flashing one indicating that there was one message. Pressing on the button to play she heard Julia\'s frantic voice. \"spike, Faye, listen... i left because of a small problem, You see vicious is in town and if he knows were here he will come for us. its better to hide for now and it will be worse if he see\'s us together, so you and faye should stay where you are for now. call me on my cell phone tomorrow at 8 o\'clock and delete this message as soon as you get it. good bye.. i love you spike.\"
