Chapter two

Willows bedroom.

"I can't believe you're back Buffy! Well I mean I always knew you were coming back. It's just, I'm so happy your back!" Willow exclaimed.

Buffy sighed, "well I'm just glad my mom's not that mad at me, although she was acting kinda weird."

"Like weird how?"

"I don't know," Buffy sighed again. "She was talking about spike like he..."

"Wait you mean the evil vampire Spike? The one that on countless accounts occasions tried to kill all of us-hold on, when did he meet your mom?" yelled Willow, eyes wide.

"Oh I forgot I didn't tell you that. Anyway, remember three months ago when the police were on my case because they thought I killed Kendra?"

"Yeah, why? What does he have to do with that, besides the fact that his girlfriend was the one who actually killed Kendra?" Willow questioned, then added, "he wasn't there was he?"

"Well the police almost got me at one point, but out of nowhere Spike came along and knocked him unconscious, then we started hitting each other until he stopped me and made me listen to him. He said that he didn't want the world to end, that he liked the world. He said that he wanted to stop Angel." Buffy explained.

"And you listened to him?"

"Yeah, I listened to him. So then we were heading back to my house when my mom pulled into the driveway; she was all questiony about the deal with Kendra, then she asked who Spike was. I came up with a lie, although it wasn't a very good one… or I think it involved me being in rock band with Spike and me playing the drums while he sang. Like I said, it wasn't a very thought out lie. Spike helped with the details though. Anyways, so then a vamp showed up and Spike and I killed it, so then I kinda had to tell my mom the truth."

"Wait, Spike helped you fight a vamp? As in he, a vampire, helped you, the Slayer, fight one of his own kind! That's just ... weird."

"Yeah tell me about it," Buffy shook her head."So then we all went inside, and yes I did invite him inside, and we sort of discussed everything. We also sorted out a deal that if he helped me fight Angel then he and Dru could walk away free, as long as they didn't come back. next, he left and my mom and I had the fight that I told you about earlier."

"So what was the weird thing your mom said about him? " Willow asked, returning to her original question.

"I don't know, something about looking at me with adoration, and stepping in front of a speeding bullet for me, but that can't mean anything. My mom was probably just over exaggerating... right?"Buffy questioned worriedly.

"I don't know Buffy it sounds pretty twisted and Spike he's pretty..."

"Twisted."

"Maybe we should tell Giles." Willow suggested.

"No. No telling Giles. Telling Giles would be bad." Buffy was adamant

*No* Buffy thought, *telling Giles would definitely be bad.* Partly because she didn't know exactly how she felt about it. *What if she sort of had feelings for spike* If she did she would bottle up her emotions and tell no one about them-not even Will. Besides, Spike was evil and nothing would ever change that. After a little bit Buffy left Willow's house and headed back home.

Graveyard 5 months later

Spike had stuck to the shadows for the past couple of months; he was sure that Buffy knew of his presence, but she wasn't acting on it. The Slayer was in college her graduation went up in flames, literally. Spike had done a good job concealing his feelings for her.

Spike walked out alone, and headed in search of a wandering human. He was getting pretty hungry and hadn't fed in awhile because the Slayer was patrolling a lot lately and he didn't want to risk an encounter. Tonight though, it seemed as if she had late classes. He moved to a different crypt so he could be close to the Slayer; now he lived next to the university. All of a sudden there was a rustling nearby, then out of now where a guy wearing army gear shot spike with a tranquilizer gun. After the man fired, Spike hit the ground with a thud.

Initiative lab

Spike woke up to the sight of a white room- there was a glass wall on one side and through it he could see more white cells with all sorts of different demons in them. * What the hell!* he thought *is this some sort of testing lab? The glass is probably made of some super material or else all those other demons would have gotten lose by now*. The ceiling opened up and a packet of blood fell into the cell spike picked it up and looked at it- It looked normal enough.

"Don't drink it its drugged," a voice whispered. "If you drink it you'll never get out of here and you'll end up in one of their examination rooms."

The voice came from behind one of the side walls, they'd obviously heard the packet fall.

"Right, thanks" Spike said.

Just then the idea hit him.

Buffy and Willow's dorm room

Buffy sat on her bed staring at a text book.

"I give up! I'm never going to figure it out, so I might as well stop trying," Buffy said.

"Isn't that what you said last time, about five minutes before you figured it out," Willow remarked, amused

"Yeah, well I'm going patrolling."

Buffy got up and left the room. As she walked down the hallway she thought *maybe I should go look for Spike. I haven't even told anyone he's back yet, but what would I do when I found... oh yeah kill him of course. I mean what else would I do invite him into my house-not a chance... Wait, I already did that.*

Initiative lab

Spike lay on the ground pretending to be passed out from the drugged blood, which he put in his jacket pocket. This was it. The wall opened up and three commandos came and started to drag Spike out of his cell. They put him on a rolling bed. When one of the guys (wasp-subject verb agreement) busy closing the wall back, he made his escape. He jumped off the bed and made a run for it.

"Hey man, help me out here" whined the vampire in the cell next to his.

Spike thought about it for a second and since he'd watched one of the men type in the key code, he set the other vamp free. As they were running, a group of commandos ran at them. Spike threw the other vamp at the soldiers which occupied them and kept running-not caring what happened to the other vamp.

Spike emerged through a tunnel and found himself back on the college campus.
