Title: Do I Know You?
Rating: PG-13: for swearing and sexual scenes (non-explicit)
Pairings: Buffy/Angel, Willow/Oz, Xander/Cordelia
Premise: Buffy's happy as a clam out patrolling one night and is cut by a demon but when she kills it some of its blood gets into her wound. In the next few days, Buffy gets mysteriously sick, and no one knows what it is. Everyone soon realizes that Buffy is dying and there is no cure for this unknown disease, and she finally dies from it. 250 years in the future, Angel has moved to LA and is still mourning the loss of his beloved, when a demon named Doyle shows up with something to show Angel, DUN DUN DUN!!!!! Wackiness ensues!! = P
Details: It's a Curse? What Curse? = P story. It's sort of a mix of the last ep. of Angel (where Fred dies, I was inspired by her death scene), another story I've read by Ducks (it's on her website, GO THERE!), and my own wacky notions.AN: Well well well, it sure has been forever since I've updated or put up a new story because my computer started acting up. It was getting persnickety and wouldn't get on the Internet, and when it did I only had time to read stories, and check e-mail before it froze. So now that my former Microsoft employee aunt and uncle have come to town and fixed the computer, I can update and post again!!!! Whoopeee!!!!! : ) So this is my brand new creation that I might actually see through till the very end. (Hope and pray for that one) So here goes, and lots of feedback is a total must. (It's a confidence booster) Thanx a noodle!!
Hello all. My name is Buffy Summers, and I am the Vampire Slayer. Yeah yeah, I know what you're all saying; that I'm nuts. Well in some ways you're right, but I never lie about the Slayer things. But this all beside the point. What matters is that this is my story that you're about to read, and I'm gonna tell it to you so that maybe some of you thickheaded louts out there can learn something from what happens to me. So here it is, my life story (or at least the relevant bits) all summed up. (Oh and P.S.- I'll be telling it in third person so don't think I'm all snotty when I refer to myself as Buffy. ; ) )
Buffy thought it was just another normal Saturday night; while the rest of the teenaged world was out partying and dating, Buffy was once again in a cemetery looking for something to kill. "Well then again I'm not much for dating these days." Buffy commented to herself with a smile, as she thought of what she'd rather be doing with Angel. "Bad Buffy. Bad thoughts." She chastised lightly. Working her way through the quiet cemetery, Buffy was on a high thinking about Angel, and she was careful to keep an eye open for any kind of beasty looking to come out and play. Lost in her happy thoughts, Buffy barely heard the demon sneak up on her, and had even less time to react. Buffy narrowly missed the demon's opening attack. "Ya know. It's not very nice to sneak up on people." Buffy quipped as the demon rounded on her to launch another attack. The demon rushed at a battle ready Buffy and swung his overly large fists at her head. Buffy ducked and retaliated with a powerful crescent kick to its head. It connected and made the beast falter backwards, allowing Buffy to gain the offensive. She delivered powerful blow after powerful blow after powerful blow to the monster, and she could see that it was losing control and stability. Buffy was getting ready to deliver the killing blow, but she miscalculated because she didn't see the demon pull a knife. Before she could kill the demon, it slashed her across the ribs with the knife. Buffy staggered back momentarily, clutching her wound to see if it was bad. The demon quickly scrambled to its feet and lunged at Buffy again with the knife. Regaining her senses, Buffy blocked the attack and wrenched the demon's thumb back until she heard a snap. The monster roared in pain and loosened its grip on the knife, enabling Buffy to snatch it from its grasp.
"Now that was downright mean. This was one of my good shirts." Buffy told it before shoving the knife deeply into the demon's exposed chest, and catching a few blood splatters on herself when she pulled out the knife.
"Great, now I've got demon blood on my shirt. This shirt is officially ruined." Buffy sighed as she gingerly examined her wound. Thankfully it wasn't too deep, and wouldn't require stitches. Deciding that she had fulfilled her duty for the night, Buffy headed off in the direction of Angel's mansion.
When she got to Angel's she as she pushed open the large wooden door. "Hello? I've lost my way, and was hoping a handsome gentleman lived here that would take pity on me and let me stay the night." Buffy pitifully said as Angel walked toward her with his trademark half smile on his face.
"I dunno if I have any spare rooms available. I don't know if you could afford the rent." Angel teased.
"I have my ways of making payment." Buffy purred, before kissing him.
"You naughty girl." Angel said between kisses.
"Don't you know it." Buffy giggled
Angel grabbed Buffy to kiss her again, but she inhaled sharply when Angel's hand connected with Buffy's cut. Angel immediately moved his hand and saw the tear in her side.
"It's nothing. Just a scratch." Buffy covered and walked over to the couch and sat down.
Angel followed Buffy to the couch to try and get more information from his beloved. "Buffy. What happened? It could need stitches."
"It's not deep enough to need stitches. It was just a demon. He pulled a knife, and sliced me before I saw it." Angel gave her that look; that You-shouldn't-be patrolling- alone look. "Don't look at me like that." Buffy pouted. Angel got off the couch and went to retrieve the bandaging kit. "I can take care of myself you know. And besides, I'm not the only one to get slashed in the ribs before." She called after him.
Angel returned quickly with the first aid kit. "Come on, lift up your shirt…" Buffy cut in before Angel could finish his sentence.
"Angel! I'm shocked that you think I'm so easy." Buffy tried to act offended, but failed miserably.
"You are." Angel retaliated. Buffy punched him in the arm. Angel just laughed. "What I was about to say before I was interrupted was for you to take off your shirt so I could bandage your wound."
"I know that. But I decided to mess with you a bit." Buffy stated while gingerly pulling her shirt over her head.
"You can do that more successfully later, but for right now hold still." Angel said the first part with a naughty twinkle in his eye.
Buffy sat patiently while Angel carefully examined, then bandaged her wound. Buffy loved Angel's touch. Whenever he touched her it was with such care and love; even when her was tending to an injury, love just emanated from his touch.
"There. Good as new." Angel declared as he finished patching up his love. Angel just looked at her.
"You're giving me that scolding-concerned look again. What's up?" Buffy asked as she pulled her shirt back on.
"I'm always concerned when you get hurt, especially when you patrol alone. I thought we agreed that you wouldn't patrol alone." Angel stated.
"We did. But I didn't want to make Xander and Willow give up their dates tonight. And I didn't come and get you because I actually wanted to get something done tonight. Which I did, so, mission accomplished." Buffy responded matter-of-factly. Angel just gave her a look. Buffy pouted and pounced on Angel, pinning him on the couch with her slayer strength. "I can still pin you. I must not be that hurt."
"Oh really?" Angel began tickling Buffy to loosen her hold on him.
Buffy squealed and jumped off him and out of tickling range, "Hey, no fair."
Angel climbed off the couch and ran at Buffy, who screamed happily and ran from him. When he finally caught his beloved, he didn't let her go for the rest of the night. (And you can guess what we did for the rest of the night. ; ) )
Well??? So what'd ya think? Good, bad, ugly? I would adore feedback. I hope y'all like it. Thanx a noodle. ; ) SlayerChic503
