This chapter may have a surprise. But the next chapter is going to bring in more on Doyle's side of what happened. This is just a short chapter of the five walking together and discovering something. Enjoy.

Angel and Buffy were walking side by side while Cordelia was following and Spike and Anne right behind her.

"How are you doing?" Angel softly asked Buffy.

"A little dizzy and sore, but ok." Buffy replied giving him the best smile she could. Angel returned a smile and the two grabbed each others hands.

"Ugh." Anne let out.

"With you all the way love. They can't help it though." Spike replied quietly so Angel and Buffy wouldn't hear.

"Save the speech, I've heard it before."

"What speech?"

"That love is consuming, and burns speech." Anne stirred the box slightly.

Spike bit his tongue and didn't say a word. He found it slightly shocking she knew what was to come out of his mouth. Anne looked towards Cordelia who seemed to be rubbing her right arm.

"Asked what's wrong with Cordelia."

"What? Why?"

"Something's wrong with her."

"Yeah. I see that." Spike replied not showing a sign of caring.

"You want Dru?"

Spike let out a sigh, "Cordelia?"

Cordelia turned around to look back at him still walking. "Yeah?"

Spike nod his head towards her arm, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." She replied letting go of her arm.

"Alright. Nothing's wrong with her."

"Something's wrong."

"Nothing's wrong."

"Yes there is."

"She doesn't think so."

"Well I do. So ask her again."

"You bloody ask her."

"Spike!" Buffy snapped after startling the two. "Are you arguing?"

"She started it!" Spike pointed towards the box.

"Well I'm finishing it. Leave Kathy alone."

"Tell them to check Cordelia's arm."

"I'm not going to do that pet." Spike mumbled back.

"Tell them to check Cordelia's arm. Now!"

Spike tightened his fists annoyed over being bossed around by two girls, both with the same tone.

"Ghost wants me to tell you to check Cordelia's arm."

"It's Kathy!" Buffy snapped.

"Not from where I stand slayer." Spike snapped back. He was done taking the snotty attitude from her, and she was definitely not going to tell him how to call someone. "Now are you going to check Cordelia's arm?" Buffy glared at Spike then turned to face Cordelia.

"I'm fine." She let out.

"Cordelia let me see your arm." Buffy asked.

"No I'm fine." Cordelia replied shielding her arm.

"Fine!" Buffy raised her hands. "I've had enough of this, let's just get to Giles and get this over with."

"Buffy wait." Angel asked placing his hand on her shoulder. "Cordelia, please let me see your arm."

"It's just sore, that's all. Nothing wrong with it." Cordelia tried to get them to leave it alone, but Angel kept insisting on seeing what the trouble was and raised her sleeve revealing a bruise in shape of a hand print.

"Cordelia where'd that come from?" Angel asked both Buffy and Anne gazing down towards it.

"That looks like Doyle's hand-print." Anne said to herself.

"It's nothing, I probably did it when I was sleeping." Cordelia pulled her hand away pulling the sleeve back down.

"Cordelia that's not nothing." Buffy replied slightly worried.

"Pfft." Cordelia let out. Buffy was about to argue more about the issue when the team were interrupted by a door swinging open.

"Buffy!" Faith shouted from Giles door. "We're all in here waiting for you."

"Faith!?"
