Summary: It's six months after Chosen, kind of AU seeing as how nothing that happened in Angel season 5 goes in this fic. Buffy along with the rest of the gang are still trying to set up the New Watchers Council, when Buffy gets distracted will the others help or hinder her search for the truth.

GOOD WILL HUNTING
CHAPTER ONE
May 20, 2003 - Sunnydale.
*The cavern shook and fell apart around them, reminding Buffy of the first time they had been intimate. With the falling of debris, all she could focus on was him - And it was the same now.
"I mean it! I gotta do this" he held out his hand to stop her
She laced her fingers through his and they burst into flame together.
She looked into his icy blue eyes "I love you" she said softly
Spike looked at her carefully "No, you don't. But thanks for saying it"
Another earthquake rocks them both and She let go of his hand
"Now go!" He yelled*
Dawn threw a pillow at her older sister in the hopes that somehow it would make her wake from her slumber.
Buffy groaned.
"Buffy you're awake" Dawn smiled sweetly
"Yeah thanks to the pillow... What do you want" she asked.
"You're late to teach basic hand to hand combat" Dawn informed her leaving the room.
Buffy rolled over and looked at the clock that stood on her bedside table "Oh crap" she said flinging the bedcovers off her legs and quickly slipping out of her pyjamas. And slipping on some jeans and a t shirt. She raced down the stairs and down into the basement of the rather large compound that Giles had just brought in hopes of starting up a Slayer School. It was early days but all seemed to be going well, Buffy taught most of the more physical lessons. Whilst Willow and the others pitched in with more of the written side of things.
Buffy burst into the room, the girls eyed her warily "I'm sorry guys I kinda overslept" she apologised "Okay so hand to hand combat" she smiled sweetly

After she had finished giving the girls a lecture on proper uses of weapons, she dismissed them. Willow came down the stairs, pushing softly passed the students.
"Hey Buffy" she smiled
"Hi Will, what's up?" She asked
"Uh Dawnie told me you overslept again, are you okay?" She asked worriedly
"Sure... I mean I'm not sleeping too good right now, I haven't really since..." Buffy swallowed hard "But I'm okay" she smiled
"I'm worried about you Buffy, you're hardly sleeping, you don't eat much... You've gotta take better care of yourself" Willow told her.
It's true over the past six months she'd dropped some weight, her already tiny frame became tinier. Her eyes had dark circles around them. She didn't look like the same girl Willow once knew.
"I know, thank you for the concern Willow but I really am fine" she smiled, grabbing her bottle of water and walking away.

Buffy stood under the shower head letting the warm water cascade down her body. She felt some of the tension leave her body as she tried to relax. Dawn knocked on the door breaking her out of her relaxation time.
"Hey Buffy, There's some guy here to see you" She told her
"Okay... I'll be out in a minute" she hollered back.
She shut off the shower and grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body. She stood at the sink and wiped the mirror in front of her, she stared for a moment at her reflection. With a sigh she began to get ready, slipping into her sweats and tying back her hair into a ponytail. She checked her appearance in the mirror and proceeded down to Giles' office.
She opened the door and saw a man dressed in a black suit sat in front of Giles' desk.
"Buffy..." Said Giles "This is Mr Daniels... from the London branch of Wolfram and Hart" he told her
"Wolfram and Hart?" She asked
"I'm a lawyer" he told her "Can I have a moment alone with Ms Summers?" He asked
Buffy nodded and Giles left the room.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Ms Summers, you're quite the legend" he said
"Oh goody I'm famous" she said in a harsh tone "What exactly is it I can do for you?" She asked
"Well at Wolfram and Hart we specialise in Demon Law"
"Demon law? What does that have to do with me?" She asked
"Glad you asked... I'm with the Probate department"
"Again I ask the question?" She raised an eyebrow
"It's come to our attention that one William James Pratt, aka William the Bloody aka Spike. Has in fact died... I'm here to read his last Will & Testament" he said
"What? That doesn't make sense Spike doesn't have a Will... Does he?" Buffy asked
"It's all right here M'am" he smiled "Before I go ahead and read, I need you to gather the following people"
"Okay..." Buffy sounded unsure
"One Dawn Summers, Willow Rosenberg, Alexander Harris, Rupert Giles and Andrew Wells"
Buffy stared at the man before her "Let me get this straight... Spike has a Will and he's left stuff to me and my friends?"
"That's right"
"This can't be good" she murmured
