CRASH
CHAPTER ONE
It was quiet. The sun had set hours ago, and with it so had the fast paced activities of the town's people. The only thing out now were the stars that lit the sky. And as beautiful a site as it was, there was one person who didn't really appreciate those stars, or the night itself in fact.
With another sigh, Buffy begins twirling her stake in her hand, waiting for any member of the undead to come out and make her job the slightest bit easier.
"Why am I out here? I could be at home cuddling or having a hot make out session with my girlfriend." Buffy complains to herself. "Leave it to Giles to kill my fun. Having a watcher sucks. What's the point in having super powers when I can't do what I want?"
"I agree." Turning around she sees a grinning vamp and surrounding him are four others. Well, make that two. The pair on his right are dust in the wind as identical arrows pierce their backs, ripping through bone and dead flesh. Taking advantage, Buffy quickly throws her stake at the nearest one, and her mark is easily hit.
"I'm sorry were you saying something?" She taunts him. "I couldn't hear you over the dusting noise." The remaining lackey looks at her, then to his boss, and finally back to her before running off without a word.
"You coward! It's only one girl. Come back and fi-." With a pained expression, he places his hand over his heart and watches as it turns to dust. The rest of his body quickly following.
Searching the darkness, Buffy spots a figure crouching on top of a crypt in the distance. She smiles as she makes her way over. Standing at the base of the crypt she crosses her arms over her chest.
"You're gonna be in so much trouble if Giles finds out you were here and he didn't know beforehand."
The taller girl smirks as she jumps down and wraps her arms around the shorter. "The old, tweed-wearing, librarian is gonna get mad at me? Oh, I'm quivering in fear."
"Sarcasm at it's finest. And as much as I hate to admit it, he's right, Faith. You shouldn't be out here."
"Because I don't have your great powers and 'even if I were to be able to fight one vampire, I may still be gravely in danger'?" She quotes from one of Giles' lectures. "I know that, and that's why I have this." Raising her hand she shows Buffy the longbow.
"And what if you miss the heart?"
"Then he'd be one hurt, undead, piece of shit?" Buffy pinches her. "Ow."
"Language."
"God, sorry. This is what I get for coming to keep my girlfriend company as she rids the world of unspeakable evil?"
"Aw, Honey. As much I love you for that, I don't want to see you get hurt."
"So, you don't want me to come on patrol with you anymore?"
"Of course I do. Just tell me first instead of following and please be careful so Giles doesn't find out."
"No problem."
The blonde gets a sneaky look on her face as she bites on her lower lip. And Faith is hypnotized. Watching as Buffy's tongue slowly runs across and she unconsciously mimics the action. The shorter girl places her hands flat against Faith's stomach and runs them up over her breasts, onto her shoulders and down her arms before interlocking their fingers.
"You know, my mom's not due home for a few hours."
"Yeah?" Faith lowers her mouth to the blonde's neck, licking and sucking at her pulse point.
"Mm-hmm." Faith trails kisses from her neck to her lips and Buffy takes the opportunity to push her against the wall of the crypt.
"As much as I'm enjoying this, and believe me I really am, we should probably go to your house now."
"Yeah, you're right." Neither makes a move to leave, though hands and eyes continue to roam. After a pause, Faith leans in to kiss her again, but Buffy puts her hand on her chest. For a moment she stares at her hand and the place it landed, before pulling out of her daze.
"We should get to my house now."
"Right." Faith pauses, and once again leans in to kiss her.
"Faith!"
"What? I'm waiting on you." She gestures to how she is trapped between the crypt and the smaller girl's body.
"Oh, right."
