Title : Darn Your Sinister Attraction

DISCLAIMER : This is my first FanFic…I don't own anything.

Rating : M just in case for future chapters.

Note : I started this like 3 years ago and never got around to finishing it so I'm posting it as is and I'll continue writing it if you guys like it.

Pairing : Buffy/Faith with some Willow/Kennedy


Willow's POV

Journal Entry

This house seems quiet, only the five of us left inhabiting it now. Since that final battle we're all just surviving here. No big bad left to take on, no impending doom or apocalypse threatening our lives. Only the few random demons left looking to take over the area surrounding the ex hell mouth. Looking to conquer something already conquered. Everything seems normal for once. Well at least the normal everyone that's not a Scooby member is used to. To us it's a change, a quiet change never expected. It's been nice, our own little family, doing what everyday families do. Dawn's gone back to school. She's in her last year now. Dating regularly, it's not something that Buffy's too keen on but at the same time has no slayer worries to give her an excuse to care. Kennedy and I have taken over Buffy's old room and have both found jobs. An odd thing to have coming from someone who's only job used to be fighting off evil with magic. It's a strange feeling waking up and only fearing a 9 to 5 career to go to. Xander is living in the basement, an all too familiar place for my dearest friend. He seems to be happy regardless. Since Anya's death he's taken it upon himself to make sure the remaining women in his life are protected and taken care of. And of course there's Buffy. She's been appreciating her new found unimportance, so to speak. She's been doing things she wants to do, and not worrying about the fate of the world. She's been unemployed for about 6 months now, but there isn't one among us that even remotely feels she needs to work. She's already done so much for all of us. It's about time she just does something for her. As much as I'd love to say that Buffy is completely content, I know she's not. I can see it in the little things she does. Her heart is gone, her fire. It's like some part of her disappeared with Sunnydale. Not just the single slayer amongst the rest kinda thing either, but something completely separate. Buffy waved goodbye that day to something far more important to her than her destiny. She waved goodbye to the only other person that could fully understand her completely. Buffy watched the other half of her soul drive away on that school bus. She waved goodbye to Faith.


Buffy's POV

"Hey Giles." Buffy had been trying to get a hold of her ex watcher for almost 3 days now. With none of her calls returned she had begun to get worried. It turned out that Giles was just in England taking care of some counsel business, and she had just missed him. He eventually got word and gave her a call, knowing that Buffy and the scoobies were prone to thinking the worst. "I'm doing fine. Yes, everyone is ok. I just wanted to talk to you. See how things are holding up in your little part of the world." Buffy's mind wondered to the people that had followed him to L.A., thinking of Faith and what she'd be doing now.

"Everyone in fine Buffy. The girls are doing well, training daily just incase. I'm fine, Angel sends his regards and says he's sorry he hasn't been to see you yet, but that taking care of 12 freshly chosen girls is a full time job." Buffy chuckled on the other end of the phone. He knew she was lonely living in a town, much less a world that no longer required her every moments attention. As if by some residual watcher/slayer connection he then added, "Faith is doing well also." He could almost hear the girls heart skip a beat through the phone at the sound of the darker slayers name.

"That's great Giles." She finally said shaking herself out of daze that simply a name had sent her to. "I'm glad to hear everyone is settling in. I, uh…I was thinking of taking a trip down there soon. Just to see everyone, and take a look around the city. See if there is anything I could, ya know…do. Just your run-a-the-mill patrolling." She shifted in her seat uncomfortably, silently hoping that there would be some sort of need for her presence.

"Buffy, I'd love to see you. I know that everyone else would love to see you as well." He paused…she could literally hear him cleaning his glasses. "As far as patrolling, you'd have to speak with Faith. She's been out every night with not much to report. It seems to be rather quiet around here. She usually come back with Taco Bell in lieu of battle wounds."

"Oh…ok. Well I guess I'll just come to see what's going on. Well I'm going to go see what Dawny is up to. She has some new guy, and he's giving me the heeby jeebies. I know it's probably nothing, but I can't help but hope he's some sort of evil. Even in the slightest use of the word. I'd settle with general sleaze ball if that would cure this boredom I have with life right now. Even warding off an evil boyfriend sounds more entertaining that watching Kung-foo movies with Xander again." Giles smiled inside himself thinking that she must have been spending a good majority of her time with Willow, listening to this vary willow-like ramble. "I'll call you again soon, when you're back in the states to let you know when I'll be coming."

"Alright Buffy, take care and let everyone know I send my best." With that they hung up and Buffy went back to the word search she was doing. Circling random words she'd find that reminded her of slaying, rather than what words she should be looking for. She'd already found Stake and Tomb…well she used an "X" for the "K" in stake, but she wasn't being picky. Just trying to get her mind away from the woman too far away even for slayer senses to pick up. With that thought she found an F, A, L, T, and N…she turned the L into a capital I and the N she drew over harder turning it into an H. Now she was reaching…staring down at the jumbled name she decided it was no use and simply let her mind wander to that dark haired girl that occupied most of her mind.
