AN: Thank you for all your reviews. BTVS doesn't belong to me.
"Faith took Tara. She's evil again. I said she wasn't to be trusted." Willow yelled as she stormed into the Magic Box causing everyone to stop and stare at the enraged red head.
"Willow, I don't mean to sound like you are making things up but Faith and Tara spend a lot of time together. Are you sure she took her?" Buffy asked skeptically.
"Yes, she rushed in and grabbed her; then left before I could do anything to help her." Willow lied.
"I'll go check out her place. The rest of you stay here." Buffy said as she left the shop with determination on her face.
Faith and Tara were laughing at a joke the brunette demi-god told. Suddenly, the front door was kicked in and Faith reacted by pushing Tara behind her. Buffy strode in with an expression, which to Faith, looked like the night she stabbed her.
"B, what the fuck are you doing?" Faith screamed at the blonde slayer.
"Willow told us what you did, Faith. I can't believe I trusted you again." Buffy answered getting into a fighting stance.
"What I did? I haven't done anything to that Bitch, as much as I want to." Faith stated as she dodged a fist coming at her face.
"Why would she lie to me, Faith?" Buffy asked throwing a high kick, which Faith took to the head.
Buffy went to hit Faith again while she was dazed but stopped just short of hitting Tara. Tara stood between a demi-god and a slayer without fear of what could happen to her. Both stopped their fight as not to hurt the blonde witch.
"Willow lied to you, Buffy. I broke up with her a couple of days ago because she was using magic on me. Remember the last time we talked, I said I never remembered talking with you to Willow about her magic use." Tara remarked and continued with Buffy's nod, "She did a spell on me to take away the memories of us fighting. I don't know what she told you about Faith but whatever it is, it's not true."
"She said that Faith took you." Buffy sighed. "I can't believe she would lie to me like that. I should have known better than that. I'm sorry, Faith. I was skeptical when she walked in but I guess past insecurities got the better of me. God, I am such an idiot."
"B, calm down. I'm use to being your punching bag and it's like you said why would she lie to you." Faith said trying to withhold some anger at the blonde's jump to conclusion, it didn't work.
"Again, Faith, I'm really sorry about attacking you and breaking your front door down. So, what are we going to about Willow?" Buffy questioned.
"She is getting so deep into her magic and she is very powerful. I don't know what to do." Tara informed sadly.
"What if we wore her down? I mean, could she really keep using all these big spells without feeling the effects?" Faith suggested trying to form a plan in her head.
"No, it's like with any regular body. There is only so much it could take. Why? What are you planning in that head of yours, Faith Lehane?" Tara asked worriedly.
"I was just thinking. You remember Post, don't you, B?" Faith avoided and Buffy nodded, not understanding why. "I could draw her fire and, when she is drained enough, you could knock her out, B." Faith explained her plan, which got a bad reaction from Tara.
"What? No, Faith. You can't do that. She could kill you. Please, I couldn't take it if that happened." Tara freaked out.
"I'll be careful, Tara, but this is the only way that I think it could work. We don't want to kill her." Faith tried to calm the blonde Wicca.
"Plans go wrong all the time, Faith, and I don't know if I live with it knowing I let you walk into this with the probability of you getting killed by my best friend." Buffy told the demi-goddess of wisdom.
"B, I know what I'm doing. Now, come on before she gets suspicious or something. She knows we aren't expecting you to attack." Faith states impatiently, already walking out the door.
Buffy walked into the Magic Box while Tara and Faith snuck around back to catch Willow by surprise. The gang watched as Buffy entered with a pissed off expression. Willow was worried at the face of Buffy looking so angry.
"What happened, Buff?" Xander asked worryingly as the Scoobies except Willow moved towards the slayer.
Everyone was shocked when they heard an impact of a flesh hitting flesh. They turned to see one very enraged Faith while Tara moved to the counter.
"Buffy, aren't you going to do something?" Willow asked holding her cheek with a dread feeling creeping in.
"You lied to me, Willow. I could have really hurt Faith; all because you can't control your magic and Tara left you. Can't you see what it's doing to you, Wills?" Buffy tried to reason with her best friend.
"I have control, Buffy!" Willow yelled her eyes turning black as she got angry.
"Listen to your friends, Red. You don't have to do this." Faith said to make Willow focus back on her.
"You! This is all your fault." Willow screamed as she gathered energy a dark energy and formed it into a ball.
Willow threw the ball and Faith rolled to avoid at the last second. Buffy pushed the rest of the Scoobies behind a wall, peeking over it to keep an eye on the two dueling in the middle of the Magic Box. Faith dodged another ball of energy but was caught by the one that came straight after it. She flew straight through a wall into the backroom. Willow smirked at the downed demi-god as she slowly got up. Faith barley pushed herself out of the way as another ball was flying at her. Willow started to feel her power weakening and prepared one last ball of energy to destroy the weakened brunette. Seeing the now black haired witch focused solely on
"Think about this, Red. You're not a murder." Faith tried to distract and reason with Willow.
"You're not human, Faith." Willow said as she prepared to finish her off.
Buffy turned her around and hit her in the jaw using only enough strength to knock her out. Willow slumped to the floor unconscious and Tara ran to where Faith was lying in the debris of the wall.
"Faith, are you okay?" Tara asked.
"I'll be fine, Tara. Nice timing, B." Faith coughed out in pain.
"Well, I couldn't let you die, Faith. I would hate to see what would happen to me." Buffy stated then turned to her watcher questioning him, "What should we do with Willow?"
"I got some friends in England that could be of help to her. I'll make the call." Giles answered heading to the phone.
AN: I hope you weren't hoping for Willow to be the main villain. Willow is smart but Faith, being the daughter of the goddess of battle strategy, would win almost easily. So please review and next time Shane will be back. Oh and if you get bored enough, check out my new story.
