She walked down the street, her heels clicking on the pavement. She began to speed up once he wasn't in view anymore. Running, she started running to catch him. The people on the streets watched in amazement at the pure speed of the girl. But she had to catch him. She turned the corner and ran right into him. "Damn it." She said as she started to fall back. She put her hands behind her and flipped over. She stared him right in the eyes. She couldn't let him leave without saying something, or trying to stop him for that matter. There had to be something that she could do.

"Go back home Buffy." He told her, staring her in the eye.

"No you can't leave me. Not like this. Not ever."

"You aren't going to stop me." He said. He turned on his heel, his black duster following him. She ran, got in front of him, and put her hand on his chest. She was crying now.

"Why are you doing this? Why can't you stay?" He looked into her eyes but quickly turned away. If he kept looking he'd never leave.

"I'm leaving because I want to." He said coldly. He knew that he was being mean, meaner then he felt. Inside his heart was breaking that he was leaving her like this. But she needed a normal life, a life without him.

"You can't want to leave me. And I don't care. I don't want you to leave Angel. You can't." Her tears were becoming more and more frequent now. He couldn't bear to see her in so much pain. But he had to be mean, if she hated him enough, the pain of him leaving wouldn't be so hard.

"Go home Buffy. Go back to your life without me. I don't want to be there anymore." He said coldly. Then he jumped onto a near by fire escape and followed the stairs up to the roof. Buffy started up at him and then shouted.

"You can't do this to me Angel." Angel said nothing, just stood there, waiting for her to leave. The pain that he felt was horrible, but it had to be done. Buffy turned on her heels and ran away, crying.

The Graveyard-

About halfway to her house, somewhere in the graveyard, she collapsed in pain. It was as if that whole world was coming down on her. Her heart hurt, so bad that she could almost swear that the pain was physical. "You're not going to be any bloody fun if ya don't stop cryin'." She heard his voice, but she couldn't bear to say anything to him. He came over to her and kicked her in the side. She swore but continued to cry. "Oh come now slayer." He said to her. "It's no fun if ya don't fight back." He told her.

"Go away Spike." She said to him through her tears.

"Oh come on slayer." He said with a smirk. "Can't I have a lil' bit of fun?"

"You're sire or grandsire or whatever just left me. I am in a pissed off mood and not someone to mess with."

"So Peaches thinks he's better than ya. Tell you that he wanted ya to have a normal life?"

"No. He just said he didn't want in my life." She said. She sat up, her back against a grave. Spike sat next to her.

"Any help Dru left me."

"Big surprise." Buffy said. "Sorry to say, but your girl's a hoe."

"Ya told me once before." He said. She smiled. How could Spike be all bad if he was willing to help a slayer? She looked over at him and he was drowning his sorrows in a bottle of Jack Daniels. She took the bottle from him and took a big swing. "Well now slayer. I never knew ya had it in ya."

"Yea well now you do." She said in reply and took another drink. Her tears had stopped but the pain, the feeling of now being totally alone, was still there.

"Oh come on slayer. Peaches isn't worth this. Bloody wanker wouldn't know a good woman if it hit him on the head. He did a right bad thing leaving ya, but take it like this. Least now you are better off without 'him. Ya can find you a really good guy, not some wanker that you can't even shag." Buffy had to laugh at Spike's last comment. It was true that she couldn't even be with Angel cause of his curse. She took another drink of the Jack Daniels and stared into space.

"You'll do better too you know. Nice looking vampire like you, I am sure you have vampire chicks lined up everywhere."

"Not really. I got something other vamps find bloody awful."

"What's that?" Buffy asked, interest rising in her.

"Love. I could love someone without a soul. Dru could too although it's safe to say that she didn't care much about me."

"Well see there you go. You'll make some girl very happy. I'm sure."

"Why so sure slayer?"

"Cause anyone can fall in love. Sometimes they don't care if the other person is a vampire or a slayer or something like that.

"Really love." He said, feeling the alcohol in his system. He slid over closer to her. She turned to him, staring him right in the face. "You could be with a vampire that wasn't Peaches?"

"I wouldn't go advertising it on the streets or anything. But if he could love me, then yeah."

"Most of 'em aren't like that. Most can't love you."

"But there's one out there that could." She was so close now that she could kiss him. "Angel left me cause he wanted me to have a normal life, but my life will never be normal. I am the slayer."

"Right love. You are the slayer. And any vampire would take advantage of ya and kill ya right now. You'd never know what hit ya."

"Why don't you then?" She said, getting closer till her lips almost touched his.

"If I knew, I'd tell ya. Ya got something about ya; something that makes me…" Spikes kissed her. She kissed him back, hungrily searching his mouth with her tongue. It was a kiss of raw passion, of lust, and maybe what could be the start of love. She melted into his kiss, bringing her closer and closer to his body. His touch, his cold skin on her warm skin, was thrilling. And the way that he touched her, it was not like Angel had. She pulled away to breathe.

"Let's get out of here." She said. He nodded in agreement. They both walked towards Crawford Street, stopping along the way for kisses. Falling into one of the upstairs beds, they let lust and passion consume them.

The Crawford Mansion-

When she woke up the next morning in Spike's arms, her first instinct was to reach for her neck. Surprisingly the vampire without a soul didn't feed off of her. He didn't even bite her, at least not with his vampire teeth. She got up slowly and began to get dressed, finding her clothes in various places around the room. "Do I trust that ya aren't goin' stake me?" He smiled that cheeky smirk that he had. She almost instantly wanted to go back over to kiss him. But she didn't. If she went back she couldn't blame the whole thing on Angel's leaving.

"No. Not today." She said. She knew that she would never be able to stake Spike, there was too much feeling there. Like the first time that she tried to kill Angelus. She just couldn't.

"Ya aren't going to leave me here. I've got no where to go. Bloody sun."

"This isn't a relationship Spike. Hell this isn't even going to happen ever again."

"Oh come now slayer. You can't say that ya honestly want me to just leave you alone."

"You can't honestly think that I would have done this if Angel hadn't left me."

"Then it's a very good thing for me that he did." Spike said. "I always knew that the only thing better than killing a slayer would be fucking one." That was enough for Buffy. She walked over to the bed, picked Spike up and threw him against the wall. "Hey love. I didn't mean it." She walked over to him and punched him in the face. "Come now love." He grabbed her by the waist and turned her around so her neck was at a better angel for him. He vamped out. "You wouldn't want me to bite, now would ya?" Her eyes got big and her heart beat faster. It was an exciting yet scary though.

"I'm not stopping you." She said, daring him to bite her. So he did, he leaned in and bit her neck, drinking her blood. She moaned in ecstasy at the feeling and then gasped when he pulled away. He spun her around and kissed her, moving until they had both landed on the bed.

"God slayer. Your blood is so… powerful." He said, kissing her neck and chest. "I feel so…" He kissed her again.

"I have to go Spike. My mom is going to worry."

"Right love." He said, turning over. "Will ya come see me again tonight?" She didn't answer him, just go up and walked to the door. Then she turned around.

"Yes Spike. I don't know why, but I will come see you again." She told him.

UC Sunnydale-

She wanted desperately to tell someone about what she had done. She wanted someone to tell her that it was wrong and that she should not see him again that night. Unfortunately she had no one to tell who wouldn't freak and tell Giles. Except Willow. She could tell Willow about what had happened. She found Willow on the campus. "How long do I have before Oz shows up?"

"I don't know." She said. "What's going on?"

"I slept with someone." Buffy said.

"What? Who Angel?" Willow said.

"No. Angel left last night and I went into the graveyard crying. I ran into Spike."

"YOU SLEPT WITH SPIKE!" She yelled. Buffy automatically hushed her.

"Shut up." She told her. Willow looked at her. "Yes I slept with Spike."

"Evil, soulless Spike."

"Yes."

"Wow." Willow said, sitting down on the bench. "Was it like with Angel?"

"Better." Buffy stated, looking away dreamily. "He wants to see me again."

"Do you think he will try to kill you?" Willow asked. Buffy pulled her hair back to expose the bite that she had on her neck. "He bit you?"

"No, well yes but I let him."

"Is this because Angel left?" Willow asked.

"I don't know. I just kissed him and then one thing led to another."

"Wow I can't believe that you did that."

"Did what?" Xander asked coming up to them.

"Nothing. I did nothing." Buffy said fast. "I just killed a vampire." Willow smiled.

"He gave her a hard time to." Buffy playful hit Willow.

"I got to go guys. Willow; remember that sometimes people make mistakes."

"Sometimes they make the mistake more then once." Willow said with a wink. Buffy smiled and then walked away. Screw college, she had to see Spike again.

"What was that about?" Xander asked Willow when Buffy was out of site.

"Nothing." She looked at him. "Nothing at all."

The Crawford Mansion-

Buffy found the old mansion held a lot more memories then she could handle. It took her several minutes to get over it and walked into it. Spike was sleeping on the bed. She smiled. It wasn't a relationship that they had. They had screwed once, and that was it. Yet she was back, watching the blonde sleep like she would Angel. So something about this whole thing freaked her out. But she figured that she might as well have fun. Spike was sleeping on his back and Buffy jumped on his chest. She placed the stake above his heart and pressed lightly. Spike's eyes flew open. "Damn it Slayer what the hell?" Buffy didn't say anything, just pressed the stake a little harder into his chest, careful not to impale him and kill him. "You going to stake me cause I bit you or cause I shagged ya. Cause I got to tell ya slayer, you weren't complain' about either one." Buffy threw the stake across the room and then smashed her lips against Spike's. She easily surrendered to him and let him roll her over and kiss her. "What made ya come back slayer?"

"I don't know."

"Well not complain'."

"I didn't think you would." She said kissing him again.

A/N: All right people... I'm back. I know it's been quite some time since I have updated my other Buffy story, but I was in a little bit of a writers block. However I have managed to finish another chapter and write this. It's the beginning of either a really good story or a really bad story. So it's up to decided. If you like, review. If you don't, don't review. That simple really. (lol a little bit of humor) Anyways enjoy and tell me what you think.
