2: Assault:

Tracking the vampires back to their hideout on campus Buffy and Billy got onto the roof and Billy brought his hand to his mouth to hold back a gasp.

"What?" Buffy asked concerned.

"Uh Buffy… They have a hostage" Billy turned to Buffy solemnly "They have your teddy" Buffy face turned to sadness and she pouted.

"I'll dust them all" she groused and Billy smirked before getting off the window.

"Let's get ready" Buffy climbed onto the window to look down over the vampires and gasped "That's my skirt" she looked to Billy "They will never get into that with those hips" Billy laughed to himself before looking to the window she was sitting precariously on.

"Buffy… be careful…. That window barely held me, get down off there before…" It was too late, the glass gave way taking Buffy with it who hit the ground in the middle of the nest hard as Billy looked at the blank space for a few seconds and winced when he heard the impact before finishing his sentence "…it gives way" he hung his head and threw his hands in the air "How the hell did she survive this long?" he walked around to the main entrance grabbing an Arrow from his quiver and took aim, on the end of his arrow was small explosive he used on locked or barred doors, sometimes swarms of vampires when the situation arises.

Buffy looked around her at the vampires 'Oh' she squeaked before getting to her feet, she hurt her ankle on the fall but luckily it will heal quickly, Buffy had no time to react when the first hit came but soon and the lead vampire began their fight to the death while the vamps watched until the door exploded into pieces, Billy ran through the smoke and fired an arrow into the first Vampire that attacked him, the arrow hit dead on target and the vampire became dust.

Buffy's arm was hurting badly as she fought hard for her life against her opponent whilst Billy was firing arrows at the advancing vampire, using an explosive head he shot the ground which sent 3 vampire flying while a vampire began hand to hand with him, Billy grabbed his opponents fist and began pummelling the crap out of his face before staking him without effort, he was unprepared for the punches to the face he received when he turned to check on Buffy… his lip was cut and his blood was bleeding and soon he was thrown into the wall with a loud crash.

Buffy looked back "Billy!" she called and soon an arrow whizzed past her and hit a vampire in the chest, Billy dusted another vampire, Throwing Buffy the stake that bounced across the room when she landed she managed to dust the leader easily.

The remaining vampires looked to each other and bolted from the room but not before Billy got one final kill in, firing his arrow through a vampire's spine and embedded in the wall.

"Nice Shot" Buffy said as she looked to Billy.

Billy grinned to her and wiped the cut on her head with his thumb, Buffy used her sleeve to wipe Billy's bloody nose and cut lip.

"Come on… lets deal with your arm and ankle" Billy lifted Buffy up and she pouted "But my belongings"

Billy laughed at her pout "I'll come back for them and return them to your dorm" he replied and she smiled as he carried her back to his mustang, the drive back to his was quiet as Buffy and Billy watched the scenery pass by quickly until he pulled up outside his place.

The healing was going well, Billy bandaged her arm up whilst covering her ankle with ice and a towel: she felt a little guilty for kicking him out of his bed whilst he took the couch in the front room.

The night passed by easily for them both, both smiling at one thought… they had their friend back.
