Buffy slammed Faith against the wall, damn that was going to hurt tomorrow, she hadn't realised before just how strong Faith's body was. Buffy saw the look of pain in her own face and knew it was time to strike. She reached forward and grabbed her body's hand. Suddenly there was this glowing light emanating between them, Faith looked into Buffy's eyes and for a moment, for the first time ever, the two slayers really saw each other. The gaze was held only for a moment before Faith, now in her own body, pulled away.
What the fuck was that? Buffy's thoughts pretty much mirrored that sentiment. Buffy faltered as she leaned against the wall. There was so much pain. What was that? She glanced at Faith who was doing the same kind of double take; was that...Faith? She remembered looking into Faith's eyes just a moment ago and it was like she had seen into her soul. I never knew she was hurting so much. Buffy was still in a thoughtful daze so Faith took her chance.
Bam!
Buffy was snapped out of her thoughts by Faith's fist sailing through the air causing her to stumble and fall to the floor. Faith jumped on top of her and they began to wrestle for the upper hand exerting all of their slayer strength on each other. Buffy had the advantage and rolled them over so she was on top of Faith where she managed to sneak in a few blows to the face before Faith won and was back on top.
As they revolved, their eyes met and they both shared a confused, emotion-filled look and seemed to both catch a glimpse of each other's soul again only this time there was no magic involved. Faith was the one to break this connection, again. Buffy closed her eyes and prepared herself for yet another of the dark slayers' blows but instead she felt something a whole lot different; Faith's lips planted angrily against her own.
Buffy lay still, bewildered for a second, then Faith's rough embrace became calm and gentle and as she slowly nipped at Buffy's lower lip, passion took hold inside Buffy and she returned the kiss. Heat built inside them and Faith gradually slipped her tongue in to entangle it with Buffy's. The blonde's hands worked their way up Faith's body until they found her face and began caressing the spot where, just a few minutes ago, she had been violently bruising. They then went further interlacing her fingers with the beautifully soft brunette hair and pulling Faith closer, deepening the kiss.
From out of nowhere a voice breached the fiery ambience and woke the two from their lustful embrace "well well what do we have here?" . They looked at each other, reality sinking in;
What the fuck did you just do Faith? You just kissed B; the bitch who tried to kill you and put you in a coma for 8 months. The one who killed Richard.
With that Faith jumped up quickly and faced the voice's owner, another one of Adam's vamps. Faith dusted him effortlessly, glanced back at Buffy who was just sitting up and was staring at her with a look of shock and awe, and ran.
