AN: I am so sorry that I took like three weeks to update, I've probably lost readers because of that, so anyways here it is.
DISCLIAMER: I don't own anything except my ideas.
Initiative lab
"Sir the slayer took out the entire troop." Tyler said.
"What how is that possible."Said the leader.
"There was someone with her, we think it was Spike."
"Why would a vampire work with the slayer."
"I don't know sir."
"Who did you say the slayer was, we should get a background check done."
"Buffy Summers."
"WHAT" the leader yelled.
"Sir I said her name was Buffy Summers, is something wrong."
"Hold down all troops, I don't want any more attacks on her, even if she does have spike ."
"But why sir."
"Because I said so, now move." The leader stormed out of the lab.
Giles's house
Spike was now lying on the coach with Buffy sitting on the floor beside him, they were still holding hands though, it was the easiest way to remain in contact. Giles had bandaged the wound and it should heal in a couple of days, since Spike was a vampire he healed faster than people.
"Buffy the bullet only grazed my shoulder, I don't need to lie on the couch, and you definitely don't need to lie on the floor." Spike said.
"No you need to rest." Buffy said. She was unconscionably drawing circles on the back of his hand with her thumb.
"No actually I don't, vampires heal faster than people."
"You're point."
"My point is that... there's no way I'm gonna win this is there."Spike sighed
"Nope." Buffy smirked.
"Ok well you should at least get off the floor it must be killing your back."
"Nah, I'm fine."
"Why do you have to be so stubborn." Spike asked.
Buffy just shrugged.
College campus the next morning
Willow was walking with Tara around the campus, she had just finished her first class of the day and was already really tired, it didn't help that she had been up all night trying to find loopholes in the spell. So far she hadn't found any other way to reverse the spell, it seemed as if someone had planned this whole thing out, I mean how can a spell meant to make her closer to the answer make her not have able to lose contact with spike. Okay sure it might have been sort of implied in the spell but how could spike be the answer to her problems.
Willow said goodbye to Tara since they had different classes and continued to walk around, she had no classes for another half hour. Willow rounded a corner and bumped straight into someone, she looked up and there was Riley, the guy Buffy thought was really hot.
"I'm so sorry, I am such a klutz today, I guess that's what I get for staying up all night." Willow said.
"Oh, did you go to some party or something." Riley asked.
"Umm no, I was studying." Willow responded.
"Oh really, studying all night you must be a really good student."
"Yep that's me."
"Hey so have you seen Buffy around lately." Riley asked.
"No she's actually sick, she has... laryngitis, there's a cold going around you know." Willow said, she had to cover up for Buffy and tell anyone who asks that she was sick, they couldn't have people going and looking for her, they might she spike and wonder why they couldn't break contact.
"Oh, well if you see her tell her I said hi." Riley said.
"Ok." Willow said before they both went their separate ways.
AN: so how was it, bad, good, horrible. Please tell me.
So con anyone guess who the leader guy is, I tried to make it sort of clear but by all means feel free to guess.
