Buffy said getting in her place in the circle they created around the portal. "Buffy I got your back luv." Spike said taking a quick glnace up and down her then he smiled. "Spike" Buffy said and he thought he was caught not focusing on the misson. "Yeah pet" SPike said slowly. "I love you." BUffy said with a smile towards Spike "I love you too Buffy. Now consentrate." Spike said with a smile. "Willow go ahead." Buffy shouted. "Enemies fly and fall cricling arms raise the walls." Willow said then moved into place "Good Willow now please protect her. Here catch." Buffy said tossing Willow an ax. "Buffy duck!" Spike shouted upset she wasn't paying attention to the fight.

"We've been fighting for over six hours." Buffy said to Faith when she didn't have any new creatures to fight "Cheer up B you know you're having fun." Faith said giving Buffy a wink. Buffy smiled and looked away towards Steven and Spike who were still fighting. "Yeah I'm just worried about Dawn and Spike." "Don't worry about me luv. I"m having an absolute blast." Spike said killing the deamon he was fighting. "I knew you would babe." Buffy said paying attention to him and not the deamon which had just came out of the hole. "Buffy watch out." Spike screamed and didn't see the one that came up behind him. "SPIKE!!! No Spike! Guys I'll be back I have to get him out of here." Buffy screamed to the others. "Buffy we got your back . Go!" Angel shouted.

"Buffy I'm okay honest..." Spike said trying to go back and join the battle. "Yeah you might be but you're staying out. Xander take him. Oh and Spike." Buffy said turning back towards Spike "Yeah pet." 'I'll take that." Buffy said grabing his pendant and smashed it. "Buffy no don't. I can't believe you broke my pendent." Spike said looking for the first time in almost three years actually mad at Buffy sure he had been annoyed but never mad. "Well get over it and feel better. I love you but I have to get back to the scoobies." Buffy said then kissed him and turned to head back. "I love you Buffy be careful." Spike said and like magic he wasn't mad at her anymore. "I will." Buffy said, blew Spike a kiss then ran off to help the rest of the scoobies.

"Alright Spike you can't see her anymore come here and let us check you out." Xander said pulling out the first aid kit. "Okay Harris." Spike said turning around and then just collapsed "Spike!" Xander said rushing over to him. Checking his temprature and he was burning up and his pulse was racing. "Xander what happened?" Anya said rushing over to Spike's side. "He fianted. Anya help me get him over there." Xander said picking him up and they carried him to a little table they had set up to take care of the wounds. "Xander he's bleeding bad." Anya said lifting his shirt to look at his cuts. She found one that Buffy must not have seen him get cause it was bad. "I'm taking him to the hospital. You stay here. And I'll be back." Xander said then put Spike into his car and went to leave when he noticed Anya panicking. "Okay. okay God is he going to be okay?" "Anya chill focus and just stay calm." Xander said then kissed her and headed for the hospital.
