=====================================================================

 

      “We HAVE to find a better place to do this honey.”

      “I don’t see why you’re so upset, I think it’s great here.” Spike said to her, staring up at her delicious fabric-covered breasts. He slid his hands up her waist over her navel.

      “I’m not upset, it’s just... uncomfortable, it’d be better downstairs.”

      “But I have such a great view here.” His hands snuck up to grasp her breasts and she moaned at the contact. And then he screamed. “THAT BLOODY HURTS!”

      “Well you’re the one who wants this. I’d figure after having it done for a hundred years, you’d be used to it by now, baby.”

      “It hasn’t been a hundred years, maybe thirty. Next time I’m going to find someone who knows what they’re doing.”

      “Oh really? I don’t know what I’m doing do I?” She asked, straddling him on the chair, grinding herself against him.

      “Just get on with it so I can get the bloody crap out of my hair will you?” She laughed and finished applying the peroxide.

      “Fine, it’s done, rinse it out in twenty minutes or whatever and you’re blonde again.”

      “Not just blonde baby, bleach blonde, peroxide blonde.”

      “How do you honestly know if you like this better? It’s not like you can see yourself.”

      “Dru said it looked good on me.”

      “So you continue just to please your non-existent crazy girlfriend?” She plopped down on her bed.

      “It’s not like that and you know it.” She was upset, jealous. They tried so hard, but jealousy came up all the time over Dru and Angel. He wondered if they’d ever be able to get completely over the failed loves of the past. He did think of his Dark Goddess from time to time, he wondered what she was doing, or where she was, as he was sure Buffy thought of Angel.

      “How is it then? Is that the only reason?”

      “I never liked my hair when I was alive, it didn’t suit me, and it clashed with my eyes.”

      “Clashed with your eyes? That’s not a reason.”

      “Well it’s the best one I’ve got. I just like it. It has nothing to do with Dru. I just like it, like you like coloring your hair.”

      “I DON’T color my hair.” He sat next to her on her bed.

      “Sure you do.”

      “I do not.”

      “Oh please love, your hair was SO much darker in high school. You can’t lie to me, spit promises, right?”

      “Fine, I highlight, I do NOT color. There’s a big difference, both economically and in the effect. AND highlighting does less damage to my ends, which means happy Buffy hair. And when Buffy’s hair is happy, Buffy is happy and when Buffy is happy, Spike gets happy.”

      “Nuff said, color your hair as much as you like pet.” She leaned over and kissed him deeply, letting her hands roam over his broad bare chest, grabbing his biceps.

      “Would you two get a room?” Willow asked, walking in.

      “Oh sorry Wills. How goes Wicca group?”

      “It’s over. I’m not going back. They are so completely clueless, they don’t get incantations or spells or curses... sorry I wasn’t thinking.” Willow sat down.

      “It’s okay Willow. I’m not weepy Buffy anymore and you’re not weepy Willow. We’re not weepy anymore, we’re perky Buffy and perky Willow.”

      “I’m not so perky. You’re got... well, you’ve got Spike which is better than no one.”

      “Just a reminder, I’m still in the room.” Spike said while lying back on her bed.

      “I mean, he may be a bloodsucking undead vampire guy, but at least it’s someone.”

      “I know Will, but you could go find yourself a nice bloodsucking vamp too. They really are fun to have in a pinch.”

      “Still in the room.” He said.

      “Buffy, you just don’t get it. I’m okay with Oz being gone, but...”

      “You need dick.”

      “BUFFY!” Willow said blushing.

      “It’s nothing to be ashamed of Will. I mean, it’s only natural, you know? Sex is like breathing, once you’re started, it’s hard not to stop. And my God vampires are the best Will; think about it, no out of breathness to worry about... BIG perk. Plus no babies, no diseases, and if they don’t call in the morning you can stake them worry free.”

      “STILL in the room.” He said, remaining on his back on her bed.

      “Really? You never told me all this stuff before.” Willow asked.

      “Cause I didn’t really know. I mean, do you really REMEMBER your first time in details? Did you think about that stuff? It just kinda happened, I mean, I’d been thinking about it, but... and then Parker? Once you have sex with a vampire Will, you’ll never want a mangy human. Remember the make out session with Riley you stopped?”

      “WHAT?” Spike flew up and without much thought Buffy flung her arm out and pushed him back down on the bed.

      “Yes Buffy, of course.”

      “Well, thank you for stopping it, it was icky. I mean he was so sweaty and awkward. I don’t think anyone would be lucky if they were to actually sleep with him. Course vamp sex might hurt you more than it does me.”

      “What do you mean Buffy?” Willow asked her friend.

      “Well, for starters, vampires are strong. I mean when Spike slams me into a wall, it barely hurts me. And he SLAMS me, but it would probably hurt you.”

      “He slams you into walls?”

      “Into a cement pillar in the crypt.”

      “In the crypt?”

      “STILL HERE!” He hollered, almost growling.

      “Yes Willow.” Buffy answered running her hand on his chest and up to his mouth where he sucked in one of her fingers.

      “I guess we can chalk THAT up for one of the kinkiest places for Buffy.”

      “What about you Willow? You and Oz go at it somewhere weird?”

      “Well, in his van before graduation.”

      “That’s why you were late, we were wondering, you almost missed all the demon fun.”

      “Yeah... and of course you now know about us in the bed here.”

      “Yeah, the only thing that would top THAT was your parents bed.” Willow blushed instantly and looked down. “WILLOW! IN YOUR MOM’S BED?”

      “Just once, they were out of town.”

      “Oh, well I did think of one thing that would top that, but...”

      “What Buffy?”

      “If he was wolfed at the time.”

      “No, we can’t. He’d eat me.”

      “Well, isn’t that the funnest part of sex?” Buffy asked, closing her eyes for a moment while Spike sucked on her finger.

      “BUFFY!”

      “Well come on... it’s fun! On our way to LA, we pulled over on the side of the road and Spike...”

      He growled loudly this time before screaming. “STILL HERE!”

      “Sorry.” Buffy looked down and kissed his forehead. “That’s probably done, go rinse it out.” He stood up and left to go to the boy’s bathroom to jump in a shower.

 

------------------------------

 

      “Double shot of O-neg and make it the good stuff. I don’t want no freakin’ orangutan.” He needed a drink. He was thrown out of his crypt and now needed a new place. Buffy said she would help him look. He would get to his cash soon, but for now? He was hungry. Willy went to getting his drink. “Been a pisser of a week, isn’t it? Those army blokes are on a tear. They ran me outta my place. And all over town for that matter.”

      He felt a tapping on his shoulder and turned around, “Yeah, what’s that?” The next thing he knew there was a fist cracking into his face. He could smell his own blood dripping down from his nose. A demon grabbed him from behind and slammed his head into the bar. He kicked back but couldn’t make contact with his assailants. One picked him up and he felt a knife gashing his stomach, while more punches rained on his face.

      The next thing he knew he was being thrown to the ground, it bloody hurt! He looked up as his first attacker stood over him. “What did you expect Spike? A welcome party? Word’s out you’ve been making war on the demon world.”

      “War?” He tried to get up but he was hurt. His ribs ached.

      “With the Slayer! You kill other demons and the rest of us don’t hold with that.” The demon leaned over to him. “Still... if I see you around here again, I’LL be inclined to break that code. Do you understand?”

      He nodded and the demons left. How could he explain that he just wanted to fight? He didn’t care what he was fighting; he just wanted to hurt something. How could he explain that he was in love? He wanted control again; he wanted minions and the power that came with them. He wanted something back, he just wasn’t sure what. He slowly stood up and headed to the Watcher’s for bandages.

 

------------------------------

 

      “God I’m so glad you’re okay Riley, we were worried about you.” Buffy said sitting down near Riley on the couch at Giles’. Just then the phone rang.

      “Hello? Yes, she is.” He looked at Buffy, “it’s for you.”

      She got up and took the phone. “Hello?”

      “Buffy Summers?” The voice asked.

      “Speaking.”

      “We have an emergency.”

      “What sort of emergency?”

      “It seems as though Faith has awoken, your name and this number were listed to contact in case this happened. Have you seen her? She’s escaped and we need to run some tests.”

      “Um, no I haven’t, but I’ll let you know. Thanks.” She hung up the phone. Faith. The word used to mean so many different things. Now it just meant trouble. Buffy felt herself starting to fall, but caught herself on the desk. Riley rushed over and grabbed her and held her. She wished it were Spike, her Spike, her William, HERS. The only thing she felt she could really have and keep. She knew he meant he would stay forever. He was a constant in her life now, they had promised each other, had claimed each other, her mate.

      “Are you okay Buffy?” Riley asked in her ear. She closed her eyes and imagined a severely lighter blonde with an English accent talking to her, instead of this... this human.

      “What is it?” Giles asked.

      She closed her eyes. “It’s Faith. She’s awake.” She said, finally turning around to face them. “She beat someone up, took her clothing, and disappeared out of the hospital. No one knows where she is.”

      “I’d say this qualifies for the WORST TIMING EVER award.” Xander said. She tried nicely to get Riley away from her, but he refused to let her waist go. Didn’t he take the hint?

      “What do we do?” Willow asked.

      “Well, we have to find her.” Giles said.

      “What about Adam?”

      “I’d hate to see the pursuit of a homicidal lunatic get in the way of pursuing a homicidal lunatic.” Xander said, being Xander answering Willow’s question.

      “Well, Faith’s not exactly low-profile girl. I’ll patrol and wait for her to make a move.”

      “And then what Buffy?” Giles asked her.

      “Oh! I have an idea. Beat the crap out of her.” Willow flashed Buffy a smile and Buffy giggled, trying AGAIN to get away from Riley’s encompassing arm.

      “Good plan!”

      “Good on paper Xander, but we still have a decision to make. Do we hand her over to the cops? They wouldn’t know what to do with a slayer even if they knew we existed.”

      “What about the Council?” Willow asked. “We could call them.”

      “Been there. Tried that. Not unlike smothering a forest fire with napalm, as I recall.” She laughed at Xander.

 

------------------------------

 

      He was barely dragging himself along. His ribs weren’t broken, but they were close and they hurt. He had a bleedin’ headache and his side was bleeding still. As he approached Giles’ house he saw a girl standing in the bushed but she took off when she heard his boots. He wondered what a girl was doing spying on Giles. He looked through the window and saw Riley with his arm around HIS Buffy! And she was letting him! Spike turned around and walked the other way.

 

------------------------------

 

      He had had Willy sneak out to the ally with a glass of blood. Willy had been rewarded handsomely for his troubles and he lit up a cigarette.  Taking a drag he leaned against the wall and thought back to what he had seen. Jealousy. He had felt jealous. He didn’t understand that. If he was a demon, what did he care if she was petting some other guy? What did he care if she was petting some other guy? But he did. It hurt. It stung. It was worse than Dru with Angel, at least Dru had a reason. Angel was her Sire, she felt obligated and she was crazy. But Buffy? She had nothing with the boy except friendship, so she claimed. Yet there she was with his arm around her, or she was off at the Initiative WITH him, instead of spending time in the crypt. She had gone off to help the same people that had put the bloody chip in his head.

      Bloody hell! Familiar voices. “Spike.” The boy said.

      “What are you doing here?” Giles said.

      “Me? I’m not the one out of place here.”

      “For your information, smarty, we’ve got a rogue Slayer on our hands. Real psycho-killer, too.” Xander said putting down the blasto-gun.

      “Sounds serious.” He said.

      “It is. What do you know?”

      “What do you need?” He asked the Watcher.

      “Her. Dark hair, this tall, name of Faith. Criminally insane.” Xander explained.

      “Have you seen her?”

      “Is this bird after you?” Spike asked. This was ALMOST too easy.

      “In a bad way, yeah.”

      “Tell you what I’ll do then. Head out, find this girl, tell her exactly where all of you are, and then watch as she kills you all.” He laughed in spite of himself.

      “What’s happened?” Giles asked. “Something’s happened.”

      “Nothing, okay?”

      Giles looked down at his stomach, and his torn shirt, now uncovered by his duster. “What happened to you Spike?”

      “Nothing. Just leave it.” He started to walk away when Giles grabbed his arm.

      “No one said this would be easy Spike, but you swore to me that you would not leave her and if you’ve changed your mind, then do it.”

      “It’s none of your bleedin’ business. Now sod off.” He jerked his arm away from them and walked away.

 

------------------------------

 

      He opened the door and walked inside. It was nice of Buffy’s mom to let him stay in the house tonight. She had gone to LA for some event and had given him the keys. Right good thing too, since he could no longer stay at the crypt. He sat on the couch for a time. Faith. Buffy had told him about her. She had poisoned Angel, and essentially forced Angel to bite Buffy. Faith was a slayer who not only killed demons, but men alike. She was a rogue slayer and there was nothing worse than a rogue slayer. He sat in the dark until he heard keys jingling outside the door and then it opened. He leaned forward to glanced to the side.

      “I’m so glad you’re here. Giles told me you were hurt.” She flicked on a light and ran to him and leaned into his lips but he turned his head away and her lips landed on his cheek instead. “Spike? What’s wrong?” She knelt at his side and tried pulling his shirt out of his jeans but he stopped her. “Tell me.” She said, but he was quiet. She touched his cheek, and the scrape on it, but he leaned out of her reach. She stood up. “Fine, I don’t have time for this now.” She started to walk away.

      “Have a nice time with Riley?” He asked and she spun around surprised.

      “What’s THAT supposed to mean?”

      “You know bloody well what that means. Did you have fun?”

      “First off, how do you know I was with him? Spying on me? And secondly, I don’t go around participating in vampire mating rituals unless I mean business. What’s this REALLY about?”

      He stood up, wincing in pain, “He had his arm around you Buffy! HIS arm was around YOUR waist. He’s clearly interested in you and you feed into it. You refuse to tell him you’re involved with someone and let him put his arm around you!”

      “I can’t exactly come out and tell him I’m mated to a vampire now can I?”

      “You can tell him you’re involved with someone, that wouldn’t cause problems.”

      “Okay, fine, you’re right, I could tell him something and I will. But I could barely stand up; he caught me and wouldn’t let go. And you WERE spying on me.”

      “No. I went to the Watcher’s to get a bandage and I saw this girl standing outside the window but she ran off. So I looked in the window to see what was so interesting and I saw you and him.”

      “So you just left without coming in?”

      “WHAT WAS I GOING TO SAY SLAYER? WHAT WOULD I HAVE SAID TO THE NICE SOLDIER AS HE WAS DRAGGING ME BACK TO THE LION’S DEN? YOU TELL ME WHAT WOULD I HAVE SAID? And HOW would I have explained the fact that I wanted him to stop touching you? IT’S NOT LIKE I COULD PUNCH HIM!” He was screaming at her, perhaps cause he was more mad at the situation than her. He looked at her and she was crying. He walked toward her and she backed away. “Bethy...” he reached up to touch her face and she jerked away.

      “Don’t touch me.”

      “Bethy, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have screamed like that. I’m just mad, no, I’m more than mad. I’ve never been this mad in my entire unlife.”

      “Why did you scream at ME?”

      “It’s not your fault. It’s not just Riley, he just happened when I was NOT in the mood. I just wanted to hug you.” He moved toward her and held his arms out. “May I?”

      She smashed into his arms and they wrapped around her and for the first time that day she felt safe and happy. She closed her eyes and put her head on his chest. He held her tight and kissed the top of her head. “Tell me what happened Spike.”

      “Let me sit down.”

      “Come in the kitchen. You might be healed already but I’ll get some bandages in case we need ‘em.” She took his hand and led him into the kitchen. “Take your shirt off.” He sat removing his shirt. “So what happened? Was it commandos?”

      “No. It was some big demon guy, actually a few of ‘em.”

      “Demons?”

      “Apparently word is getting out that I’m hurting demons, fighting on the Slayer’s side and they don’t like that. I’m not to go back to Willy’s again. It’s just a bad week, losing my crypt, getting beaten up, then finding Riley with you...”

      “So they just beat you up?”

      “Yeah. The bloody bastards.” She looked at his wound.

      “It’s healed over already. Lucky you don’t like white, the stain isn’t noticeable on the black.” She pulled a chair in front of his and sat facing him. “I’m sorry. I know this is hard on you, I can’t imagine HOW hard this is, but I can imagine, I think.” He put his head down in her lap and she ran her fingers through his newly blonde hair. “Should we see what we can find out about getting it removed?”

      He closed his eyes and rested his head on her bare thigh. He loved when she wore skirts, he could feel her warmth radiating up to his cheek. “I’m sure the nice scientists will be more than happy to take this bloody chip of my head. I’m sure if I just asked, they’ll fix me right up.”

      She hit his head lightly. “That wasn’t exactly the plan I had in mind you jerk. No reason to be sarcastic. But maybe Willow can hack into Maggie’s files and see if there’s any information on it, I mean if we could figure out where exactly it is, we could find some other doctor to operate. You know?”

      “And why would we want to do that? Even if we could.”

      “Cause you’re miserable and a sad Spike makes a sad Buffy, and I like being happy.” He ran his tongue along her thigh and she giggled softly. “Boy do I like being happy. And lips of Spike make me VERY happy.”

      “What about fingers?” He asked slipping his hand between her thighs.

      “Those are NICE too.” She said arching into his touch. “But we can’t.”

      “Why not?” He said looking up at her, stroking her breast with his other hand.

      “Cause I’ve got a psycho-killer on the loose who hates me. Not to mention one who knows how to poison vampires and has no problem with killing innocent people. She ALSO knows exactly where all my friends live and she’s been asleep far too long and she’s bored.”

      “The other slayer?”

      “Yeah, Faith. She’s awake. I don’t know what her next move’ll be, but we have to be ready. I won’t have anyone else I love getting hurt by her.”

      “No one will, but,” he said as he massaged her breast with one hand and her inner thigh with the other, “you’re SO tense. You should take a nice hot bath and lay in your bed all night while I ravish your body like it’s nobody’s business.” He kissed his way up her neck to her lips.

      “Spike... as good as that... FEELS... god... we can’t. I have to patrol.”

      “It’s late...” he kissed her ear, “and you’ve worked very hard,” his tongue grazed her neck, “and I’m VERY hard.” He sucked lightly on her neck over his mark.

      “Are you then?” She said running her hands up his thighs to the hard bulge filling his jeans. “I guess you are.” She leaned over and kissed his neck and down his bare chest as she stroked his erection through his jeans.

      “Buffy...” he whispered, “please let’s go upstairs.”

      Her fingers flew to his zipper and opened it and the button. He lifted his hips up so she could pull them down setting his cock free for her gaze. “Hmm.” She said matter-of-factly.

      “What?” He asked as his finger crept up under the back of her shirt to the clasp that held her bra on.

      “You’ve got a BIG problem here.”

      “Yes I do. Let’s go upstairs.” He grunted as her fingers wrapped around his straining cock.

      “I think I should help you with this.” She said stroking him, running her thumb over the tip.

      “What, here?”

      “Right here, right now.” She said, straddling him on the chair smashing their lips together. Her tongue plunged into his mouth and he welcomed it. She plundered his mouth and ground her hips against his raging erection.

      “Buffy...” he moaned as she sucked on his ear. Her bra was pulled out of her shirt and his finger flew to her skirt but she moved off him. “Buffy!” He whined.

      “Relax, this’ll only take a minute.” She said kissing her way down his lean but muscular body. She knew his body now, his arms, his legs, his manhood. She pumped him a few times before running her tongue along the base of his cock all the way to the tip. He groaned and thrust upward. His fingers were clawing at her shirt, pinching her nipples through the fabric. She licked the tip before taking it into her mouth.

      GOD! Her hot lips around him was enough to drive him wild. He was almost naked and she was still fully clothed. It wasn’t FAIR! She sucked on him, and began bobbing her head up and down over his length. He watched the way her hair fell, and closed his eyes and just reveled in the feelings. He thrust into her mouth and he sunk in to the hilt. She wanted it; she took it, over and over as he thrust up into her. Her fingers were around his sac and on his thighs, around on his ass. He thrust up one more time and spilled into her mouth.

      “I told you I would help with that problem.” She said licking her lips.

      “Yes you did.” He said finally opening his eyes to find her beautiful green ones.

      “Spike?”

      “Yes?”

      “Eat me.” She said laughing.

      “What?” He barely choked it out.

      “I want your tongue so deep inside my body that it comes out my mouth.” She giggled at the image while stroking his cock back to hardness. Her words alone made him hard for her.

      “What?” Was all he could muster.

      “I said,” she said, “I want you to suck me, bite me, lick me, whatever. I want your mouth between my legs, like NOW.”

      “Let’s go upstairs.”

      “Why?” She said standing up. She walked over to the fridge and smiled wickedly at him while picking up the can of whip cream. She approached him shaking the bottle. “We can have so much fun in the kitchen.” She squirted some on his chest and licked it off him. That was it. He jumped up and kicked off his boots and pants.

      “You want it little girl, you’re gonna get it.”

      “Oh good.” He grabbed her hips and slammed into her, as if wanting to slam through her clothes all together. They backed up slowly to the island and he picked her up. He ripped her shirt off her and she squealed with delight. She laid back on the counter arching her back as his hands slid down from her neck over the crevice between her breasts to her navel.

      “Cor Buffy! You’re so bloody soft.”

      “I’m softer elsewhere you know.” She raised her hips and he slid her skirt and panties down her slender legs. “Like right... there.” She said squirting some whip cream over her delicate folds. He leaned over and kissed her gently before licking the cream off her. “Oops.” She said squirting more. “Missed some.” He licked more off, while slipping two fingers inside her and she thrust up into his touch. He kissed her feminine folds like he would her mouth and she moaned arching her back off the counter. His tongue plunged deep inside, wanting to touch every little piece of skin inside her, every piece it could reach. “OH GOD! SPIKE!” She hit the counter and kicked her leg up, hitting the lamp above them. “SPIKE!” She screamed. “WILLIAM!” Her hands were at his head trying to pull him up to her. “NOW!” She ordered.

      He looked up at her. “What Bethy?”

      “I want little Spike inside me RIGHT NOW!” He looked down at his rampant erection and smiled at her.

      “He’s not so little.”

      “NOW!” She bellowed and he was too happy to climb on top of her on the counter. With one thrust he was sheathed inside her heat. Her desires leaking out, running down the base of his cock, down their legs. Cor, she was so tight. He’d never felt anything so exquisite. She flexed her muscles around him and he slammed into her further before pulling out and slamming down again. Their hips slammed together as her hands grabbed his ass trying to pull him in further. Her mouth opened, but no sound came out, she couldn’t scream. He was THAT good! He smiled before slamming into her once more.

      God! She was so glad she hadn’t talked herself out of THIS. She squirted some more whip cream, this time on his neck and then leaned up to suck on it again. She felt him, tensing up, she knew they were both close. She moved her hair back and caught his eye.

      He looked down at her beautiful neck and looked into her eye, as if asking permission. She nodded to him and within a second he was looking back at her with yellow eyes. “MINE.” They said in unison as his fangs pierced her skin and her blunt teeth bit into his neck. He shot his seed deep inside her as she arched up and thrashed around beneath him in the throws of her orgasm.

      He fell on top of her as he sucked gently at her wound and she sucked on his. Gently he pulled away and licked her a final time. “See,” she said as he got off her, “I told you we could have fun in the kitchen.” He sat on a stool and smiled at her.

      “Now we have to clean up.”

      “True, Mom wouldn’t let us stay here if she came home to find cum all over the counter, would she?” She walked over to the sink and wet a cloth and started wiping the counter and the floor. She rinsed it off and turned to him. “Whadda ya say we take that bath now?”

      “Sure love.” He said standing up and wrapping his arms around her waist. “Now aren’t you glad you didn’t go patrol?”

      “Yes I am, very much so.” She kissed him deeply before he realized he was still in game face. He pulled away but her hands snaked around his neck and held him close. When she’d finally gotten enough, she pulled away. “God you’re gorgeous, even all vampirey. Will you make me a promise?”

      “Sure, what?”

      “Growl at me later.”

      “What?”

      “When you’re inside me, growl, it’s awesome! It’s like turning the bass of a stereo up and sitting in front of the speakers. No, it’s better than that, it’s like a vibrator, it’s awesome. Just growl at me.”

      “Promise.” She spit on her hand and he did likewise and she grabbed his hand and pulled him upstairs.

 

------------------------------

 

      She woke up to fingers deep inside her and screamed as she came. “Morning love.” He said with a grin.

      “That was wonderful, although I didn’t feel much.” He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close to him.

      “You have to get dressed and get to school, and your mum called, she’ll be home in a few hours.” He kissed her quickly before she got up.

      “Last night was amazing Spike.”

      “It was certainly entertaining.”

      “We’ll have to shag in a hot tub next!” He laughed at her incorporation of his terms.

      “Sounds like fun pet.”

 

------------------------------

 

      “What are you gonna do Buffy?”

      “What do you mean Willow? She doesn’t want to play nice, I won’t play nice.” Buffy sat in Spike’s lap on Giles’ couch staring at Willow and Giles.

      “Buffy... not to go back to the trenches, but the last time you decided not to play nice was when you thought you could kill her for A... for a good reason. But you felt awful about doing that Buffy. You beat yourself up over it for a while and I don’t...”

      “Willow, I’m fine. This is all the more reason to get rid of her. She’s obviously not going to be pals with me, so we have to get rid of her. There’s nowhere we can take her, we can’t give her to the police, they wouldn’t be able to handle her, and I’m not going to crawl back to the council.”

      “You think you can kill her again Buffy?”

      “Will, she’s dangerous. We need to stop her.”

      “Buffy, I can see your point, but,” Giles started, “you tried before and she is strong.”

      “You saying I couldn’t take her?” Buffy stood up offended.

      “No pet, he’s not saying that.” Spike grabbed her waist and pulled her back down. He nuzzled her neck, “he’s saying that we don’t want to see YOU get hurt.”

      She pulled away from him. “I won’t get hurt. I can take her.”

      “Buffy, I’m sure you CAN take her, but she knows you, she knows what buttons to push. She’s dangerous because she has history with you.” Giles stated.

      “Fine! I couldn’t kill Angel so now I won’t be able to get rid of Faith, is that the deal?” She was SO mad. Spike stood up and tried massaging her shoulders to calm her down.

      “No Buffy, that’s not it, would you just listen to me for once.” Giles said.

      “Giles...”

      “Buffy. Be quiet. You can’t go off like this after Faith, you’ll mess up and we’ll lose you and I won’t let you go like this.”

      “OH YOU WON’T LET ME? YOU DON’T OWN ME GILES!” She said. “Now I’ve got a psycho-killer on the loose and I’m gonna stop her.” Buffy stormed out the door, Spike followed closely behind.

      “BUFFY! STOP!” He grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms. She sobbed slightly and he hugged her.

      “They don’t think I can do this. They’re wrong. I DID kill her; it just didn’t work as well as I’d hoped. But I’m going to fix that. They’re wrong. I CAN do this.”

      “Slayer, look at me.” She looked up at him. “As much as I hate to say it, they aren’t entirely wrong. She knows you. She’s gonna use that against you and it’s not smart to hunt her when you’re upset.”

      “Well I’m not gonna stand around and wait for her to hurt one of my friends. I waited once and...” she put her hand to her scar. “And I almost lost my lover, I won’t lose anyone else. I’m not putting you or anyone else at risk.”

      “I don’t think you should either, but I think you should wait another day.”

      “No. Are you gonna start arguing with me and giving me orders too? Cause I don’t need it.”

      “No. I’m not going to tell you what to do, I just think we have other fun things we could do instead of hunting Slayers. Or at least, hunting that slayer. I was thinking I’d turn your own methods against you tonight. I’m going to ‘stake’ you.” He said nuzzling her neck chuckling at his own pun.

      “NO. I know what you’re doing and it’s not going to work.” She pulled away.

      “Please don’t go Buffy. I don’t want you to. I’ve got a bad feeling about this love. I just don’t want you out there tonight. I want you in my arms.”

      “I’m sorry, I have to go.”

      “Why do you really want this so bad Buffy? Why is it worth risking your life over?”

      “Cause she hurt me.”

      “No. She hurt Angel.” Spike said.

      “Fine. Cause she hurt Angel, you think we should just let her go. I get it. I thought you were over the jealousy thing. Apparently not.” She pulled out of his arms and started walking away.

      “BUFFY!” He grabbed her arm tight and the searing pain shot through his head. “OW!” When he recovered from the pain and opened his eyes, she was gone.

 

------------------------------

 

      Faith grabbed her hand and Buffy felt something surge through her. She opened her eyes and was staring back at herself. Before Buffy could do anything, Buffy punched her out.
