Blood VS Lust

Raven groaned slightly as she turned over in her bed,

~Man did I stay out to late~ she thought as she recalled meeting Spike.

He didn't seem too much of a talker and Raven figured he would leave once he finished his smoke, but Spike was too interested to walk on.

He watched her curiously as she talked about the slayer, not once giving a jester that he was annoyed, but not one that he was interested either.

"You're a Vamp, you got to hate her guts too" Raven said looking up at Spike.

"I do love, but not for the same reasons you do. She's my destined enemy" Spike said casually.

Raven's faces brightened when he called her love, and Spike noticed it. She knew it was just the way British people talk, but it still made her flutter.

"Your brother was a bloke to fall in love with her and then place you in his hands" Spike said as he threw another cigarette on the ground and snuffed it out.

"So you were listening" Raven said excited.

Spike nodded his head, and then smiled before walking back to his home.

"Why did he have to be my type" Raven groaned again as she slid out of her bed and to her dresser drawers.

"Who's your type" Dawn asked popping into her room.

Raven smirked as she threw a red t-shirt and black pants on her bed to where.

"Just a guy who saved me last night" Raven said as she closed her door and started to change.

"Hey are you taking me school today? " Dawn asked as she flipped through a magazine on Raven's bed.

"I can drop you back off, but that means I have to drive doesn't it?"

"We can teleport as long as Buffy doesn't see."

Raven smiled at Dawn as she pulled a black zipper sweater with pink smiley faces on it out of her closet and slipped it on before grabbing her purse.

"Are you ready" She asked Dawn as they walked down the stairs.

Dawn nodded her head and then grabbed her pop tarts from the toaster before taking Raven's hands. They disappeared in purple lights and then reappeared a few blocks away from Sunnydale High.

"O I want all the details on your Savior when I get home" Dawn said as she walked up the campus entrance. Raven smiled and nodded her head, then waved as some friends joined Dawn.

It had now been a week since then and every night Raven would still go out to see her mother and Spike would show up. In the time she had told him about her mother's life and death, and about the many fights with Buffy. Never once did Spike say much about himself, But Raven understood that his past was something unmentionable.

It was a Saturday night and Raven was walking across the graveyard fence and Spike walked on the ground watching her balance fade every time he talked.

"So you wanna tell me why I'm not dead yet" Raven asked jumping down next to Spike.

"Well I do omit I intrigued to try your blood, but it's more fun to listen to you" Spike said.

"A huh, sure. You're welcome to if you wish" Raven said brushing the hair away from her neck.

"It's not bright to tease me" Spike said staring at her neck.

"I wasn't."

Spike smirked and his face morphed. He stepped closer to Raven and let his fangs graze her neck.

"Not gonna happen" Spike whispered into Raven's ear then morphed back to his human face and kissed her lightly on the neck.

He pulled away with a smile,

"This will do" He said, then placed his lips on Raven's and kissed her passionately.

Spike pulled away and leaned against the fence,

"Not bad" he said watching Raven out the corner of his eye.

She turned over and glared at him.

"I didn't say you could do that"

"Ya but you didn't stop me either love" Spike grinned out.

Raven blushed slightly as he called her love again, it always sounded sadistic. She stuck her tongue out then leaned next to Spike on the fence.
