***********************************************************************
Light streamed through the apartment windows. The sun was low on the horizon and it would be dark soon. Xander Harris stood near his kitchen table and silently chuckled at his actions. Here he was again, stocking up on stakes, Crosses and Holy water for his trip to the Scooby meeting and patrol.
Anya came up behind him, "I think we should stay in tonight." She said while wrapping her arms around his neck. He turned and faced her.
"Normally I would agree with a night alone," he raised his eyebrows suggestively, "but there's a new beasty in town." He tightened his grip on Anya's waist, pulling her into a hug.
"I'm sick of all the evil creatures getting in the way of our life."
"I know baby, but it's something we have to do." Replied while looking his lover in the eyes sweetly.
"I don't think I wanna do it anymore, I want to be able to have a romantic evening with my fiancée without worrying about demons destroying our apartment." She gave him a sad smile, kissed him on the cheek, and headed out for the car. This conversation, however short, had given him a lurching feeling in his stomach. Like when you go down the first hill on a roller coaster, only without the fun part. He thought there might be a point in Anya and his relationship where she would want to seek out a better life. While his life was (and had been since his Sophomore year in high school) dangerous, he liked helping people and saving the world. Before all this madness with fighting evil had happened, Xander had felt useless, not good in class or socially, until he'd found a place with Buffy and Willow. He was doing something important here in Sunnydale and the young man was determined NOT to give it up. He decided then and there that if Anya wanted to leave, it would have to be by herself. As long as his friends were with him, he would stay.
"So your telling me that this demon can pull itself apart and put itself back together again at will!" Buffy exclaimed.
"Um, to simplify it. Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying." Giles said with his usual boorish tone. It was no secret that Giles as well as the rest of the group had no luck in getting Buffy to open up about where she was while she was dead. Not that anyone really blamed her; coming out of a hell dimension had to be a difficult experience.
Buffy stood there looking at the wall angrily. That was good, she was showing her feelings again. Of course anger seemed to be her new favourite emotion.
"So what evil's ass are we kicking tonight?" All heads turned toward the door, noticing for the first time that Spike had entered the Magic Box. Spike had been a big help after Buffy died and when she came back. Not that Xander would tell him that, of course. The two of them (Buffy and Spike) seemed to spend more time together and Xander had this awful feeling that she was sharing things with the Bleached Wonder that she wasn't with her best friends or Watcher. Giles was hurt by the this fact though he tried to hide it.
Giles tuned toward the vampire with a look that said he was going to tell him off.
"A Disavorkyn Demon." Buffy replied before a fight could brake out.
"Oh, their nasty buggers. Okay let's go."
"Right. Spike and I'll check the cemeteries. Tara and Willow look in the park. Xander and Anya patrol the streets. Once your done go home and get some rest, unless of course you find the thing. Giles, could you please mind Dawn while I'm gone?"
"Of course"
All of them moved to the door, except Anya.
"Buffy, could I go with you. I need to talk to you about something."
Spike looked reluctant to leave Buffy's side until she agreed .
"Alright. Spike, you go with Xander."
"Why do I get stuck with the whelp?" He asked angrily.
"Because I said so. Now go."
The two walked next to each other but with a great space between them. For some reason unknown even to Xander himself, he found he really didn't hate Spike anymore. The vampire helped the heroes now for free and with little coercing.
"So, how are things with your ex-demon chit going?" he said this sarcastically, though there was an underlying hint of interest.
"Fine"
"Oh" the 'oh' came out a bit disappointed. Like he wanted them to have problems. That's a vamp for ya.
He barely had time to finish that thought when a vampire threw himself at the two men. Between Xander's new muscles and Spike's agility the demon didn't have a chance. Soon vamp dust was flying. Xan sat back against a brick building and the blonde joined him.
"You got some blood on ya head, pet"
Xander gave Spike a puzzled look, "You called me pet?"
"Uh huh." He answered nonchalantly.
Spike leaned in close to get a look at the cut. His face was only inches from Spike's. The lurching in his stomach started again, in the good way this time. A new feeling surfaced among the usual, attraction. He had a sudden urge to kiss Spike. He closed his eyes.
