...

A/N: Thanks for the reviews so far guys! Keep it up!

Side note: It's really hard to write a Buffy/Angel/Supernatural fic when you're watching Gilmore Girls. And now that I've been watching so much Supernatural, I wanted Rory to end up with Dean ... grr. Gilmore Girls Dean, not Supernatural Dean ...

Sorry for the long wait, things have been way hectic around here. But, finally, here's the next update!

Okay, so in the last chapter, Buffy found out about Angel and Cordy, Faith and Sam got lucky, Ellen and Jo got into a fight, Buffy and Dean went to the Bronze and were interrupted by someone from their past, and the house was being surrounded by "bad guys".

So, in this chapter, Buffy and Cordy have a heart-to-heart, Willow and Tara do a spell, the "adults" work together after mediating a dispute, Buffy and Dean get into a fight at the Bronze, and Xander protects Anya.

Okay, so that's that. Here's the next chapter.

As always, please read and review, I live for feedback!

"Harmony?" Buffy repeated.

The other girl ... er, vampire, smiled wickedly.

"I take it you know each other," Dean said, holding out his hand for the other girl to shake.

Buffy stopped him. "Dean, she's a vampire."

He withdrew his hand quickly. "Oh ... okay, then. One of yours, or one of mine?"

"Mine," she said, hand-on-hip.

"So, Buffy, is this your new boyfriend?" Harmony asked.

Buffy sighed. "Harmony, what are you doing here? Besides waiting to die."

"Oh, Buffy, can't two old friends have a chat every now and then?" Harmony wondered.

Buffy stared at her. "Harmony ... we were never friends."

Dean looked back and forth between the two girls. Okay ... never handled a vampire like this before.

"Oh, details," Harmony said, waving her off. "So, seriously, who's the hottie?"

Dean raised one eyebrow, but remained silent for the time being.

"Harmony, seriously ... are we gonna fight or what?" Buffy asked.

"Well ... alright," Harmony said, and then Buffy and Dean were grabbed from behind by overly strong hands.

.....................................................................................................................................................................................

"Okay, I think the best thing to do is to remain calm," Giles said.

"Are you kidding me?" Xander said. "We're surrounded. Like, actually physically surrounded. We're screwed."

"Breathe, Sweetie," Anya said, patting his back lovingly.

"And Buffy's not here," Willow said. "We need Buffy."

"Gee thanks," said Faith sarcastically, standing up from the couch and bringing Sam with her.

"I didn't mean it like that," Willow began.

Faith brushed her off. "No biggie. Take a joke."

"So not the time for joking," Xander told them.

"I kind of thought you guys were used to this," Sam said.

"Well, yeah ... but Buffy's usually around," Xander said sheepishly, opening the weapons trunk in the living room.

Cordy grabbed a large blade out of the weapons. "Come on, people, I think we're decently equiped. We have two vampires, a Slayer, two witches, an ex-demon, and a bunch of people who deal with this kind of stuff every day. I think we can handle a small attack."

"Pff," Xander replied. "That's just silly logic."

Bobby and Ellen watched the interaction between the two and rolled their eyes, grabbing machetes from their weapons bags.

"Why are we all in a panic? They can't come in, right? So, we're safe for now," Jo said.

"That won't stop them from burning the house down from the outside," Angel told her.

"Oh."

Willow looked at Tara. "I have an idea."

"A magical one?" her girlfriend wondered.

Willow nodded.

"No offense, hun, but I don't think "magic" is was we need right now," Ellen said. "We need good, old fashioned muscle."

Willow rolled her eyes at the older woman. "Well, why don't we try it my way first? See what happens."

Ellen didn't respond, so Willow continued, looking at Tara.

"I think we can create a barrier around the house, stop them from attacking it, so we're safe in here. I mean, it might not last for long, but it might do until we can reach Buffy and Dean."

Tara nodded. "Okay, let's try it, just tell me what to do."

Willow smiled and grasped her hand. "Just concentrate all your power, all your might, on protecting the house."

Tara nodded and they both closed their eyes.

"Okay, come on, this is just ridiculous," Ellen said, looking at Giles. "They'll listen to you, can't you just ..."

She trailed off as a light blue bubble started expanding from the space around Willow and Tara.

It grew so large that it encompassed the entire house. They all watched with wide eyes as it reached halfway across the lawn in the front, then stopped.

Willow whispered, "Thicken," and the bubble grew stronger.

Then she and Tara both said, "Hold," and opened their eyes.

The bubble remained in place.

"That should do it," Willow said triumphantly as one of the vamps outside tried to chuck a rock into the forcefield, but it was stopped in the liquidy barrier.

"Well, I'll be ..." Ellen said, looking out the window.

Willow smiled happily, but was hit with a spell of dizzyness, and almost fell, but Angel had quick reflexes.

"Willow, are you okay?" Tara asked worriedly.

"Yeah, sure," Willow said, wiping away at the blood beginning to trickle out of her nose. "Let's just hope that barrier holds for a while, okay?"

Ellen grabbed a cloth from the kitchen, running it under the tap for a few seconds, then came back into the living room as Angel was helping Willow onto the couch.

Crouching beside her, Ellen placed the cloth on Willow's forehead, then checked the redhead's pulse.

"Thanks," Willow mumbled, grateful for the cool that was soothing her headache.

Ellen smiled down at the girl. Way too young to have to be dealing with this sort of thing. "No problem," the older woman said. "Just rest a bit, while we figure out what to do."

Xander, Anya and Tara opted to stay with Willow, making sure she was okay, while the rest of them moved into the kitchen.

"While the idea of them stuck out there is enjoyable, we are going to need another plan eventually," Spike said.

Angel nodded in agreement.

"Faith, can you give Buffy a call?" he asked.

"Wow ... you people really can't do a thing without her, can you?" Faith sneered.

Sam put his hand on her shoulder, and once again, she didn't brush it off.

Angel looked over at her. "At the very least, we need to warn her not to walk into an ambush on her way back here," he said. "Having some people on the outside to flank them wouldn't be the worst thing in the world."

Faith sighed, nodding. "Fine, I'll give her a call."

.....................................................................................................................................................................................

Buffy and Dean found themselves surrounded, without any weapons. Well ... Dean's bag of weapons was back at their table, but it wasn't exactly within scooping reach.

Buffy glared at Harmony, who smiled back.

The "civilians" were all huddled in once corner of The Bronze, there were at least a dozen vampires, and from the foreheads and fangs, Buffy and Dean could tell they were normal Sunnydale vamps.

"So ... I don't suppose you're gonna tell me this is an everyday occurance?" Dean wondered.

Buffy shook her head. "Maybe once a week or so."

Dean nodded his head. "Well, that's slightly reassuring."

"You guys talk a lot," Harmony commented.

Buffy snorted. "You're one to talk."

As Harmony moved to talk to one of her cohorts, Buffy made quick eye contact with Dean. She gave him a look that said 'go with it', and then started to squirm.

"Ooh, Dean baby, this big strong man is making me kinda ... hot," Buffy said.

Dean held back a smirk as he rolled his eyes at her.

"Oh, come on, honey, everything makes you hot."

The two vamps holding them looked over at each other, but didn't loosen their grip.

Harmony watched Buffy curiously as the girl continued to rub herself on the vampire holding her.

Then, with lightning fast speed, she slipped down and out of his arms, then bolted to the table under which was their weapons, slinging it over her shoulder as two baddied approached her.

Dean watched her dispatch one after another, smiling at the grace with which she moved.

Luckily for him, the goon holding him was paying more attention to the fight than his prisoner. Snapping his head back, he rammed his skull into his offender's nose, dropping him with an elbow to the gut and a hard punch to the temple.

There were still 7 left, inluding Harmony, who was now moving to try to take out Buffy.

Dean opened his mouth to warn her, but was tackled from behind.

Buffy's cell phone ringing barely registered in the back of her mind. Probably Giles calling to tell her to quit acting like a child.

Not something she needed at the moment.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Dean was in trouble. Moving around the Bronze quickly, she was able to dig into the bag and find her crossbow. Stopping momentarily to take aim, she dusted the vamp.

Dean was surprised, to say the least, that he was suddenly free. Looking around, he saw Buffy with a crossbow in her hands, and smiled in thanks, but his smile was quickly replaced with worry.

'Behind you,' he mouthed, and Buffy turned just in time to stop Harmony from feasting on her exposed neck. Buffy threw the bag of weapons to Dean and she faced off with Harmony.

Quickly pulling his machete out of the bag, Dean went after the remaining vamps.

.....................................................................................................................................................................................

"Well, as fun as that was," Dean said, "Let's not do it again."

Buffy nodded in agreement. "Well, I just hope Spike's not too pissy that I took out his girlfriend."

"Harmony was Spike's girlfriend?"

Buffy shrugged. "This town is full of weird. Anyway, I think she was. They were together when he was trying to find the Gem of Amara, which basically makes whatever vampire wears it indestructable. He found it, tried to kill me, I took it away ... good times."

Dean stared at her. "And you still trust him?"

"I wouldn't go so far as to say trust. I'm sure that if he ever got the chip out of his head, he would turn on me in less than a second."

"So why keep him around?" Dean asked.

"He's useful. Having a vampire around to fight alongside, big help. Besides, killing hiim now would feel more like murder than slaying," Buffy explained.

Dean nodded in tentative agreement. "Yeah, I guess I can see what you mean."

Buffy suddenly remembered something, and dug around in her pocket.

"What's up?" Dean wondered.

"I just remembered that someone was trying to call me back there," Buffy said, flipping open her phone. "Wow."

"What?"

Buffy started dialing. "Cordelia called 6 times. Either she really wanted to bitch me out, or she's in trouble."

The phone rang twice, then the girl answered.

"Buffy?"

"Yeah, Cordelia, sorry. We had a bit of a scuffle at The Bronze. What's up?"

"Well, we're a little bit surrounded here," Cordelia said. "Not the usual vamps."

"Is everyone okay?"

"What is it?" Dean asked quietly.

"Trouble at the house," Buffy replied.

They both stoppped walking.

"Everyone's fine for now, Buffy. Willow and Tara have some sort of forcefield around the house, but they don't know how long it will last."

"Okay, I'm thinking we double team them, us from the back, you from the house?"

"That's pretty much the plan so far," Cordelia said.

"Good. What's Angel got worked so far?"

"He's got Willow working on a spell specific for the vampires, but it's going to be a bit tricky, seeing as we've never seen this kind of vampires before, and we don't want it affecting Angel and Spike as well, but that's last resort only. Putting up the barrier took a lot out of her. Angel, Spike, Faith and Sam are on front-line, everyone else has positions around the house with crossbows, and yes we know they won't kill them, but it might slow them down. Good enough?"

Buffy smiled a little. "Yes, Cordelia. We're a couple minutes away. I'll put my phone on vibrate, call me when you're in position."

"Will do."

Buffy sighed. "And Cordy?"

"Yeah?"

"Sorry about before. I may have slightly-extremely over-exaggerated that."

"Slightly?" Cordelia repeated, a small trace of humor in her voice.

"Alright, I totally freaked out, but don't worry, it was temporary, I'm over it, congrats."

Cordelia laughed. "Don't sweat it, Buffy. Just get here."

.....................................................................................................................................................................................

"This is insane," Anya said.

"Hey now, I'm supposed to be the one freaking out," Xander said, rubbing her back.

"But this is bad, like oh my god, you could die, bad," Anya said. "We could all die, and we're counting on two people who were off in lala land!"

"Can you please put a can on your treat there?" Faith said, sharpening her knife.

"Treat?" Anya repeated. "What's your problem, psycho girl?"

"Maybe this isn't the best time to be doing this, guys," Willow suggested. "You know, evil demons from hell trying to kill us and all."

"You wanna see psycho?" Faith threatened, standing up.

Xander followed suit. "Faith, sit down."

"Or what, lover?" she taunted.

"Lover?" Anya repeated again, louder.

Faith rolled her eyes as Sam tried to put a restraining hand on her shoulder. Something about the fact that Sam knew everything about her made her feel a little bad for her current outburst.

Faith glared at Anya and Xander, but turned around to face Sam.

"Let's go somewhere more ... private."

"Oh, yeah, 'cause going off to have sex is a better solution than freaking out," Anya said.

"Okay, you know what, you're asking to get your ass beat down," Faith said, making a move towards Anya, but Xander stood in front once more.

"Back off, Faith," Xander warned once more.

"Okay, this is beyond enough," Giles said, walking into the room from the kitchen.

"Get a hold of yourselves, all of you," Bobby said. "What is the matter with you?"

"You all are fighting like damn cats and dogs," Ellen told them. "This isn't the place for this."

"Faith, I understand that you have been through more terrible things than even a Slayer should have to deal with," Giles said, moving towards her.

She recoiled instinctively, but he held her shoulders.

"I understand that you have no reason to trust any of us, but right now, whether any of us like it or not, we all have to work together if we want to live through this. Understand?"

Faith nodded.

"Good," Ellen said. "Now, everyone to your positions, grab your weapons, get ready, and stop all this stupid bickering."

Jo looked at her mother once before grabbing her crossbow, arrows dipped in lighter fluid, and lighter, and made her way upstairs.

Ellen watched her daughter go without a word and sighed.

Giles moved up behind her.

"I'm sure it's just the pressure of the situation," he said. "Once we're out of the 'red zone', I'm sure she'll come and discuss her feelings with you."

Ellen turned around and smiled. "You really are British, aren't you?"

He looked down at her. "I beg your pardon?"

Ellen shook her head. "Nothing. Just in the Harvelle family, we don't exactly 'talk' about our feelings, as we do pound on a punching bag or a drunk for an hour or so."

"I see," Giles said, nodding, slightly amused at the image of her pounding on some poor defenseless drunken man.

.....................................................................................................................................................................................

Buffy's cell phone vibrated in her hand, and she answered on the first ring.

"We all set?"

Cordelia's voice said, "Yes. Willow thinks she has a workable spell, but it hasn't been tested yet. It's supposed to make the vamps outside dizzy and uncoordinated while we attack. Also, Sam told us that direct sunlight does hurt them a little, so she's working on a 'ball of sunlight' charm or something. I don't really get all the wicca stuff yet."

"It's okay, I got the gist. So, we ready to move?"

"As soon as Willow takes down the barrier, Angel, Spike, and Sam and Faith will be coming out the front. So, what we need from you is a bit of a distraction."

Buffy nodded. "Well, it just so happens that we are downwind from the vamps. We should be able to get their attention without a blood-bath right away. Just make sure everyone's ready."

"Will do," Cordelia said. "Be careful."

Buffy smiled. "Diddo."

She hung up the phone and turned to Dean.

"How's your aim?"

Okay, end of chapter nine.
