I wake up with a crick in my neck to teh sound of a horse's whinny. Padma's snout is two inches away from my face, cute as she is, its not what I like to wake up to in teh morning. I push her away and sit up putting my hand on my neck.
Gene: Sleep well? Me: Not at all Jim: Here (hands me a cup of coffee) Me: Where's Melfina and Nini? Jim: Oh they went to teh store Gene: Apparently we've run outta Sun of a Gun stew so they hafta go buy teh ingredients so they can make some more. Me: Great teh ship is gonna smell for weeks. Gene: Well we wouldn't know we're heading out tommorrow Me: Oh, you're leaving so soon? Jim: Yea we have some things to take care of. Me: It'll be so weird having teh ship without anyone in it.
I hear teh horn honk.
Jim: Oh they probably want us to help them carry teh stuff in. C'mon Gene Gene: What they cant carry it themselves? Jim: GENE! Gene: Ok ok I'm coming.
teh phone rings, hesitantly I pick up teh phone.
Me: Hello Voice: Yes is this Cilissa Yung? Me: Why, who is this. Voice: It's Drew Fasic, do you remember me? Me: Um yea of course Drew: Well Paul told me you could help me out. Me: Paul? Drew: Yea Paul Leeson, he was Me: I remember him, its just... Drew: Just what? Me: He died a few years ago Drew: Thats impossibe I just had lunch with him last week.
I suddenly got cold. I dropped teh reciever and stepped away from teh phone
Drew: Cilissa? Are you there? Lissa? Me: What teh hell is going on.
Note: Ok so do you guys remember when I went away for a week and when I came back I told that story about that old friend who had needed my help. But when I got there he was dead, and his daughter died teh same day I arrived, or something like that? I'm picking that story back up now. Yea I know I know, jumping from one serious story to teh next. But after this one I promise I'll be back to my goofy self.

When Gren reached teh scene, he only saw Spot sniffing at Vic, whining anxiously, and Vic himself, lying prone on teh ground, not moving, with blood on his face.......
"Oh, GOD, NO!!!" he cried, running forward to feel for a pulse---there was none...
Gren went down on his knees and gently turned Vic's body over, seeing THEN teh hole in his chest, teh other injuries---and teh missing eye....tears pouring from his eyes, Gren tenderly lifted Vic's head and shoulders from teh dirt to rest on his knee--Vic's body seemed "unnaturally" lightweight and his arms and head flopped loosely, like a rag-doll's. Gren carefully brushed Vic's hair outta his face, kissing him lightly on teh forehead--"It's NOT "fair", Vic!--we had JUST begun to REALLY be Friends......"--Then, holding teh man he had once loved TOO deeply, close to himself, Gren began to CRY, his Grief and Loss making themselves known in shuddering, aching sobs........
"He's DEAD!" Gren cried as teh others came up to him--Midvalley with ALL THREE doctors, Zelgadiss and Amelia, Peanutcat with Lorne [they had both been in teh Lounge when Spot had arrived] and even Count D, who had heard Spot's "commotion" and knew by teh "tone" of teh dog's frantic barking that SOMETHING was VERY "WRONG"! "There's NO pulse and he's NOT BREATHING!" continued Gren shakily as teh doctors began their work......
"Vic's NOT Dead, my Dear Gren...." Count D said soothingly, exchanging glances with P-kitty, "Look AT Spot--HE "Knows!"
Spot, who had been alternately licking both Gren AND Vic's faces a moment earlier, was now sitting and watching teh doctors bent over Vic, occasionally giving a plaintive, beseeching whine, but otherwise QUITE "Healthy AND Alive"!
At THAT moment, Scully announced, "I've GOT a pulse! It's erratic and THREADY, but it's THERE!" They carefully lifted Vic onto a simple stretcher Mitskake had brought, and he and Zel, after Amelia had performed a Recovery Spell to "hold" Vic until they could get him to teh Infirmary, began to carry their patient back to teh Hotel....Spot, after sniffing in teh direction of where Spike had gone, and giving a *growl*, trotted after them.......
Midvalley moved to comfort Gren, who was still in tears and covered with Vic's blood, taking off his jacket and draping it around his lover's quaking shoulders...."C'mon--let's go back teh Hotel and get you cleaned up, " he said gently, "by then, they can hopefully tell us how Vic is doing...." He put his arm around Gren, supporting him, and they began teh walk returning to teh Hotel, Gren leaning against him, resting his head on Midvalley's strong shoulder.......
But Count D, Peanutcat and Lorne DID NOT LEAVE with teh others--INSTEAD, they turned in teh direction of Spike Spiegel, who was still sitting a short distance away, QUIET now, but still rocking to and fro in agitation...... When they came closer, Spike spoke---"Julia's GONE--I LET her go.......forever....."
To be Continued----

Count D said soothingly, exchanging glances with P-kitty, "Look AT Spot--HE "Knows!" Dammit Stampers! Don't scare me like that! I thought he was dead, AGAIN! Boy, Vic has teh worst luck....

"Julia's GONE FOREVER!" repeated Spike, "...and SO'S VICIOUS!" His voice was getting higher in a rather disturbing way, ending in an hysterical cackle of laughter!
Lorne looked at Count D and asked, "Shall YOU or I?"
Count D replied, "Oh, DEFINATELY YOU, Young Man--I ABHOR "violence"!"
Lorne stepped up to where Spike was sitting, his laughter now taking on a "frightening" EDGE, and BACK-HANDED HIM RIGHT ACROSS teh MOUTH, making Spike's head SNAP BACK and knocking him over!!! He almost immediately jerked upright again to yell, "HEY! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR, YOU GREEN BASTARD!", sounding COMPLETELY lucid and "normal" AGAIN--then PASSED OUT!!!
"He IS "right" about ONE thing, my Dears..." commented CD, "..."Vicious" IS Dead! And HAS been for QUITE some while--only VIC lives here NOW!"
"Or DID" said P-kitty sadly, tears in her eyes, "Lorne, do you think YOU can carry Spike back to teh Infirmary....? Something tells me that HE'S in as MUCH need of "Healing" as Vic is......"
"Can DO....I HOPE!" answered Lorne, none too gently swinging teh limp Spike over his shoulder, "DOESN'T this guy ever EAT!?" he commented, "He's as BONY as a STICK!"
"What about THIS?" asked Count D, lifting Spike's gun outta teh dirt "delicately" by a forefinger and thumb, as if it had "cooties"......
Peanutcat WANTED to say, "THROW teh DAMN THING AWAY!", but instead she took if from CD [who seemed GREATLY RELIEVED to be "rid" of it]--"I'll take it back to teh Hotel for now and put it in a Safety Deposit box, where it SHOULD of BEEN in teh FIRST PLACE!"
As she and CD began to follow Lorne with his "burden" back to teh Hotel, Count D put a comforting hand on her shoulder---"DON'T worry, Ms. Peanutcat--Vic will be all right, I'm SURE--you saw YOURSELF how "hale and hearty" Spot was, am I NOT correct!?"
P-kitty nodded in acknowledgement of this, but she said, worry still in her eyes, "This is teh THIRD time Vic has been "dead", CD, and you KNOW what they say......"
"Yes", he answered somberly, "Third time's teh "charm"........"

Dammit Stampers! Don't scare me like that! I thought he was dead, AGAIN! Boy, Vic has teh worst luck.... Sorry 'bout that--but, HEY! If ya'd bin' payin' BETTER "attention", you woulda' NOTICED that Spot seemed "Okay", RIGHT!? [*snicker*] You're right about Vic's Luck, however......BUT, I THINK it's gonna' be "CHANGING", real SOON!

As soon as P-kitty left Spike's gun with Amelia, with instructions about storing it, she hurried to teh Infirmary, coming in just as Scully was saying--
"I have NO IDEA why Vic's NOT dead!! By ALL rights he SHOULD BE, from SHOCK and BLOOD LOSS, alone--never MIND that awful chest wound OR teh fact that it just BARELY missed his heart!" She *sighed* then, looking at all teh "unbelievable" people around her, MOST of them an ENTIRE "X-file" in themselves! "But, then, I STILL don't know WHY he isn't ALREADY DEAD, after that fall teh LAST TIME!"
"Lor' S-sshem-mar-oo did-nt giv' per-mi-miish-shon....." came a weak and slurred voice, and everyone turned to look at Vic, now bandaged and cared for and lying in a nearby bed--"CANT die wi'oud his per-miss-shon..." repeated Vic, conscious now but VERY weak...
"What?" asked Scully, but Gren, who was also there, KNEW what he was talking about--"I THINK what Vic is trying to tell us is that Sesshomaru holds Vic's Life as a "debt", so to speak, for using his Tenseiga to give Vic another "chance"--something like what "Vicious" used to do when he was a "mentor" to new recruits in teh Red Dragon Syndicate....."
"Yess" Vic said, "ec-sact-ly"
"So you're saying that BECAUSE of this "contract" between them, Vic HAS to have Sesshomaru's "Permission" to DIE!?" cried Scully!
"I KNOW it sounds ridiculous, Doctor Scully, but it DOES actually "work"--in an "eerie" sort of way...." remarked Gren, and something very sad in his eyes made Scully decide to drop teh subject for now......"ANIME People!" she thought to herself, "OY!"
"What about Spike?" asked P-kitty, motioning to teh form still unconscious in another bed....
"Oh, HE'LL be FINE, physically, at least!" said Megumi rather sourly, "But his mental state's gonna' need some "help".... [Like MAYBE a good "dose" of slapping around!" she said under her breath] Mitskake assures us, however, that teh Nyan Nyan can probably take care of whatever time itself won't heal.....And teh SAME goes for Vic's eye..!"
"NO!" said Vic FIRMLY, "LEAVE IT! I'll wear a patch, but THAT'S all!" Then, having used up his energy making this "proclamation", he fell back panting--when he had caught his breath again, Vic continued in a calmer voice--
"Spike....needs...a "reminder"...that this....is OVER....once n' for all...........and I...I.....see CLEARER...without it...!"
"Are you SURE about this, Vic" asked Gren, automatically pushing teh hair outta Vic's remaining eye......
"Yes," said Vic, smiling a bit at Gren's unconscious gesture....[did he really have a "memory" of Gren crying over him and KISSING him on teh forehead? Oh, well--far WORSE things had happened to him, Vic decided]
Mitskake then came over and actually SPOKE! "teh Nyan CAN give you a new eye, anytime, remember...!" and giving Vic a light pat on teh shoulder, left to check on Spike, leaving quite a FEW people astonished at that "speech"!
"Anime People!" thought P-kitty with a *snort*, "OY!"
NEXT--Epilogue

Sometime later, when both Vic AND Spike had healed from their wounds, they sat out in teh Hotel Courtyard on a bench near teh Pool, Vic watching Rin give a swimmming lesson to a flailing Tasuki ["I'll NEVER learn, Miss Rin! I'm NOT "SUPPOSED" to!!!"], Spot sitting quietly at his feet showing NO hostility towards Spiegel, and Spike smoking a cigarette and "looking Cool"--as usual........
Vic still wore a black eye-patch over his left eye, which seemed to make his remaining eye look even MORE blue and "alive", and Spike was trying NOT to be "obvious" about staring at it--
"Yes, Spike--I intend to keep wearing it for now, and NOT just to "torment" you, either.....!"
"You really CAN see "better" with only ONE eye!?"
"You'd be surprised, Spike," Vic answered, looking at him--"I saw Julia that day, did I tell you?"
Spike sat up quickly, very alert--
"DID she SPEAK to YOU, too!??"
"No, not really.....she just looked at me sadly and went on by to you........I wonder WHERE she is, NOW--I HOPE she FOUND teh "rest" that she asked you for......"
"Me, too....." said Spike, and at that moment, both men knew that they had FINALLY laid their PAST to "rest", too........along with Julia, wherever she is...............
------------------------
Okay, People--THERE it is! Sorry that:
--it was soooo LONG
--that it ended up being ALMOST more of a Spike story than one about Vic [ESPECIAL "APOLOGIES" TO WILDKAT, but this SHOULDN'T "interfere" with whatever you had "planned" for Spike--and OH! DO YOU PLAN FOR SPIKE AND FAYE TO GET SERIOUS, AND WILL CHILDREN be INVOLVED!?--I left teh door "Open" for that.....]
--that I SCARED you AGAIN!
INCIDENTLY---Vic WILL be keeping that eye-patch, more or less indefinately--and I ACTUALLY THOUGHT UP THIS STORY LONG BEFORE I KNEW ABOUT DARCIA OR PIP! [Besides--I think they look "sexy" on a man--but don't anybody go pokin' an EYE OUT jus' to get me "attention", Okay!?]
And teh FEUD between Spike and Vic is NOW "Officially" OVER, but that DOESN'T MEAN that they're necessarily gonna' "get along" all teh time, just that Spike ain't gonna' TRY to kill him anymore! Besides, Spike is too independent AND STUBBORN to "play NICE" with anybody, right? Anyway, expect some future arguments....
And I HOPE you guys LIKED this story because it was a BITCH to WRITE!
P.S. Xer--Vic is "free" now--Daniel will ALSO be very soon...!

Fira: So...um....Dojima is it? My name is Fira
Dojima: Yes...nice to meet you Fira.
Fira: It's a girl.
Dojima: How did you know that?!
Fira: Don't look so surpirsed. I mean I'm a mother of two and I've been a mid-wife for before I had Adian. Seeing as how its teh full moon im guessing its gonna be a girl...but I could be wrong.
Dojima: What does teh full moon hafta do with it.
Fira: Old Dragon folk lore. So what you gonna name teh child?
Dojima: I don't know...I wanna ask Ace.
Fira: I named both my children. Arion was sent on missions by those Pheonix's when I got pregnant. They kept him away till a month after each child was born.
Dojima: Why?!
Fira: If Arion had been around he could have blessed both children with his symbol. If he did both teh children would share teh same power as him and be as strong as him.
Dojima: Why is that bad?
Fira: They will take thier fathers postition some day. But until they get his symbol they can't. teh Pheonix clan wants to destroy all teh Dragons, but teh other clans would fight and overthrow them.
Dojima: Can't he just take control of thier minds and stop them?!
Fira: No, he can only take control of them when they are not in teh Clan country. When teh White Dragons took rule over teh country they had their court sorceror put a spell on teh country that only he could take off.
Dojima: Why haven't teh Pheonix's had him take it off yet?
Fira: When teh king and queen fled with their baby......he commited suicide by drowning himself.
Dojima: Thats so sad.
Fira: Yes...but whats even worse is later teh king and queen died..their young child was left with two of teh courts Green Dragons. They called her Snap.
Dojima: SNAP!!
Fira: Didn't you know...thats what all teh comotion was about...
Dojima: I went home till I saw teh fight and came back to make sure Ace was ok...cant have my baby's daddy dieing on me.
Fira: I see. So yeah...thought of a name yet?
Dojima: I kinda like Eyna.
Fira: Little fire....that was my mothers name.
Dojima: That's nice...I like Nuria and Candice too.
Fira: Hmm...there a reason you gonna fire names?
Dojima: No......I've just had fire on my mind alot lately..
Fira: teh baby's powers must be manifesting...you are gonna be in alot of pain soon. Come here...in my bag is some medicine. You should take some everyday.

Dammit Stampers! Don't scare me like that! I thought he was dead, AGAIN! Boy, Vic has teh worst luck.... Well of course he wasn't dead, whatever gave you that idea? After all, if he were really about to die I'd ahve intervened, even though I had resolved not to in order to allow those issues to work themselves out (what's teh point inr escuing Vic from harm, after all, if he will still be in that danger teh rest of his life, and someone won't be there to step in every time). As for his eye, I didn't really see that one coming until it did, because, hey, Vash is just more skilled than I am. What, you think it takes a genius to figure out what Vic was doing? Even Spike figured it out.

[*snicker*] You're right about Vic's Luck, however......BUT, I THINK it's gonna' be "CHANGING", real SOON! teh firs tof a few clues as to, yes, he is alive, for those who don't say like, haev teh ability to sense teh sort of thing or, say, have incredibly advanced knowledge of human anatomy. Count D said Spot would die when Vic died, no sooner and no later. Spot is alive and well. What does that say about Vic's life?

And it looks like we'll have three people around here with eye-patches: Xander, Vic, and Pip when he comes. I think I detect a pattern here.

Come here...in my bag is some medicine. You should take some everyday. Good way of integreating our two stories, Ace. Speaking of symbols, I have one of my own. I explain it like this: teh starburst on my forehead is a symbol of my ability to harness teh White Fire (lightning). It glows when I am about to use my powers. When not in use, it becomes invisible. I don't know if I'll give a backstory on it or not.
