Author's Note: I'm really nervous my first time writing a fan fic ever! On with the disclaimer. I don't own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or any of its characters mentioned they all belong to Joss Whedon. Well onto the story deep breaths, in and out, in and out, nice and slow, there we go ok I think I'm ready. Oh wait I forgot to tell you this is at the beginning of the 4th season except Anya doesn't exist and Angel never left Sunnydale.
'thoughts'
"speaking"
Chapter One
'I can't believe they stuck me with HIM! Just because I magically changed overnight and now things are going all crazy around me doesn't mean I'm dangerous! Why did I have to go patrol in the first place? Isn't this Buf-'
"XANDER!!!!" Xander jumped as he heard his name being shouted.
"Jeez Dead Boy I'm right next to you, you don't have to shout."
"Well when you didn't answer the first twenty times I decided to find out if you were deaf or just plain dumb."
"Ha ha. Very funny, I'm neither I just got lost in my thoughts."
"Well quit daydreaming about Cordelia she'll never take you back."
"You know it's funny you should mention ex's. Remind me again why you didn't leave town after graduation?"
"Shut up!" Angel snarled, "Buffy has nothing to do with this!"
Oh-ho-ho-no my friend, that's where you're wrong. Buffy has everything to do with this."
"Really? How do you figure that one out genius?"
"Well genius, why do you think we're even here? Where do you think she is, at home with her mom, or maybe studying? No, she's out, at a party most likely, with another new fling."
"Listen here you little piec- Did you feel that?"
Xander stopped momentarily stunned at how fast Angel could go from royally pissed to alert and protective. 'Wait, protective? Where did that come from? Why would he be? I meant wary and observant...yeah...'
"No Dead Boy, the only thing I feel is anger at being stuck here at some random graveyard with you at ONE in the freaking A.M.!!"
"Shut up, it's coming from over there. It's like waves of mystical energy, lets go check it out."
"Yeah brilliant plan, maybe we'll get skinned alive. Or just boiled to a low simmer then eaten feet first by some unknown demon. Hmm, or maybe entrails first, I guess it just depends on the demon."
"Look it's coming from that mausoleum, there's no harm in peeking in through the doorway."
"Fine then Mr. Immortal, lead the way."
Angel just scoffed at him and he could sworn he heard "pansy" but Xander wasn't to sure his hearing wasn't what it used to be. As they walked through the doorway they felt as if icy hot water had just been poured over them. 'Well, ' thought Angel, 'at least I won't need that cold shower now.'
Ok it was my first try please be gentle.There will be more I don't know how much more but I know there will be. You should definantly press that button down there even if it is to tell me how much i suck!
