Chapter 1
After the enjoining spell to defeat Adam, Buffy noticed some changes- it was little things at first. She would be thinking about something and as she reached out it, was as if it met her half way.
Researching was a lot easier. She found she knew a lot more than before- although she didn't realise just how much until one day Xander asked her to swap books as he couldn't understand his, only to discover Buffy's was in the same language.
"Buf? Were you reading this?" he asked her.
Buffy glanced at the book and realised it was in Sumerian,
'Wait how did I know that?' She thought to herself
Xander was watching her intently so Buffy scrambled for an explanation.
"SSH! I was looking at the pictures! You know I'm more of an action girl than a book girl, that's Willow's thing!" She whispered back hoping he would buy it!
Luckily, Xander seemed to except this without to much of a problem, even though there were no pictures to be seen on the open pages.
'What's happening to me?' Buffy wondered as she looked around the Magic Box at the others.
Giles and Anya were standing behind the cash register discussing letterheads.
Willow was sifting through the jars looking for ingredients for some spell that she was hoping to try out with Tara that night. Willow was being vague about the spell to anyone who asked, mumbling something about not wanting to get our hopes up incase it didn't work. Buffy knew better though, after seeing the ingredients she had chosen.
'Looks like someone's in for a good night tonight,' she thought.
Buffy turned back to look at Xander, he'd given up on the book and was watching Anya intensely; it was the look he usually gave her before they disappeared for one reason or another. God knows why they keep making excuses; it's not as if we don't know why they leave, and even if we didn't guess Anya was sure to fill them in upon their return.
The phone rang and brought Buffy out of her musing's, by the smile on Giles's face it had to be Olivia.
'It's nice to see him smiling again, god knows he deserves it with all I've put him through over the years' Buffy thought as she caught Giles's eye, the slight blush on his cheeks confirmed her suspicions.
Ever since Ethan Rayne came back to Sunnydale and changed Giles into a demon, the group had been working hard at repairing their relationships. It's amazing what the thought of losing someone you love can do to a person
They had all grown apart the last year, none more so than Buffy and Giles. Many obstacles had hindered their relationships: college, Olivia, Riley, Professor Walsh, the Initiative, Ethan to name but a few. They added to the already increasing list that began with Angel, Jenny and the Cruciamentum, all of which were events they continued to sweep under the rug rather than dealing.
That's the stage they were at now, one night a week was declared Slayer- Watcher night, only to be disturbed or postponed if an apocalypse was due, and being on the Hellmouth anything was possible.

"Giles, we need to talk!" Buffy stated as she joined Giles on the couch "We can't go on like this-I miss you."
The last part merely a whisper but Giles heard it and pulled her into a hug. "Dear heart, I miss you too"
#End Flashback#
And that was the beginning of their weekly meetings.
They had made a pact that night to not let anything come between them again, a fresh rush of guilt flooded through Buffy at that thought. She knew she should tell Giles about what was happening to her, about the new knowledge she possessed but for the first time in a long time she was afraid.
