When I Come Around
It rained everyday on Mars; you could always smell it before it came. Your senses would tingle as the first drop fell upon the aged pavement; soaking everything that welcomed its downfall. Mars; the rain only proved that the heavens cried for it.
The Red Dragon syndicate was feared by all who crossed its path. The small and the large dreaded its power and what more it might turn to. Only the brave and foolish stepped up to it and only few have escaped, just to be slaughtered later. Mao Yenrai was head of the Red Dragon. Spike Spiegel and Vicious were becoming two of the most feared men in the syndicate. No man or… women could ever overcome their strength or skill, till now…

'Faye, get out!'
The screams were muffled as the men began to fire. Shots rang through out the house and the yelling creased. Slience filled the night once again and the sound of footfall left with the echo's of the men's voices. Her eyes were wide and her body shook with every breathe she took. She lifted herself from the closet floor that she had been hiding in, and slowly pushed the flimsy door open. She made her way to her parents room with terror. Bloodstained bodies lied between sheets and pillows; the crimson liquid scattered on to the bed frame and walls. She stared at their corpuses as a tear fell from her eye.
Death will come…
She woke from her nightmare. Night had fallen since she had left the harbor port in a car that her uncle had sent. She lifted her head off of the window and rubbed her eyes lazily. She was on Mars; she hated it. The top syndicates were here, and she was heading to one; the Red Dragon. Her uncle was the leader of that syndicate, Mao Yenrai, she was to live there since her parents were no longer alive. She looked out the window, yawning… it was raining

"Spike." Her voice was that of an angle and her blonde locks flowed around her face, making her glow. "Spike… wake up." She whispered once more. He opened his eyes to see his life before him; she smiled down at him and laughed as he touched her cheek ever so slightly.
"What's wrong, Julia?" He lifted his body from the bed and slipped on his pants.
"Mao needs you." She helped him button his shirt, as he sat on the bed putting on his shoes. He looked up to her when he was done and grabbed her waist. She bent down and kissed him gently.
"I'll be back later." With that, he moved to the door he took one last look at her, she truly was his angle.

The sun gleamed down on her face. The trip back had taken all night and the sleepiness was present on her face. Her violet hair was pulled back and a few strands fell around her face. Her white tee-shirt and black ¾ pants framed her curves well. She pulled out a cigarette and placed it between her lips; she searched her pockets for a light; nothing. She pouted angrily but then small light came to her sight. She moved her face closer to the light and placed the small cancer stick before it. Her eyes were closed as she inhaled.
"What's a girl like you do in a place like this." She was startled by the voice and opened her eyes while exhaled. She stared at the man before him. His hair was a mop of green curls and his eyes were slightly brown and slightly red. He was quiet hansom.
"What is that supposed to mean." She closed her eyes once again.
"This isn't a place that someone of your stature should be lingering around."
"You don't know anything about me." She went back to her precious cigarette. He watched her as the cancer stick graced her lips, accenting to her beauty.
"So…" He grinned a lop-sided grin.
"So… what?"
"I asked you a question." There was silence.
"Arggg!" And the silence was broken. She stomped on the butt angrily and entered the glass doors to the building behind her.
"Women"

"You called?" Spike enter the large room; windows along the back showed the city; and the small desk in the distance only added to the two chairs before it.
"Yes, Spike, sit…" He sighed heavily before he continued. "…I need you to carry out something and its of great importance to me." Spike sat staring at the man before him. He had never seen him so confused and nervous.
"What's wrong Mao?"
"I need you to take out Carlos, of the Whi…" He was interrupted.
"Uncle could you tell me… " Faye looked around the room and saw the same green haired man she had seen earlier. "…oh I'm sorry, I didn't know you were busy."
"No, come in, we were just chit chatting… Spike I'd like you to meet my niece, Faye Valentine." Spike stood up to face her, his face showing bewilderment to see the same women that he had seen before this encounter, calling Mao her uncle.
"We've already met."
"Oh good then you two should be getting along just fine… may I ask what your looking for?" She looked passed Spike and at her uncle and smiled.
"Nothing… I'm just going back to my room." Her eyes drifted to the lanky man before him and gave him a look that could kill if that was at all possible. She turned and proceeded to leave the room not bothering to say her good-byes.
"Good-Bye… Valentine." Without even looking back, she raised her hand and presented her middle finger to Spike… he ginned to himself. Mao coughed to get Spike's attention and succeeded.
"As I was saying…" Spike sat himself down in the seat that he was sitting in before the violet haired women had entered through the doors. " Carlos Cruz the leader of the White Tiger, must be taken out." Spike was silent as he thought about why; why he wanted that man dead; the man that he wanted so much to have peace with for many years.
"I'm on it." Mao smiled at his response.
"Good… you'll be on this mission with Vicious and you must complete it at all costs. I'm not accepting any excuses. Got that?" Spike shook his head once to show him that he understood and began to walk to the door, but was stopped by the man behind him.
"Spike… one more thing." Spike turned around to look at the man.
"Yes Mao?"
"Uh… " He coughed again nervously. "Can you look after Faye for me?" There was silence before the two; nothing was said for what seem like an eternity.
"I mean if you don't want to I can always ask Vici…"
"Mao… You don't even have to ask."
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW… COWBOY
