The 12th Holder- Cleaning the Mess
When we left our Scoobies, Giles and Juliet had "old people sex," Spike came back from his sexual harassment seminar (the author does not remember exactly where he went, but suspects he was a bad boy and deserves a spanking), and Xander decided to kiss Giles' girlfriend. Hmmm. Smells a bit horny in there, doesn't it?
Xander stood there, shocked at what he had done. Of course, he couldn't just take it back, which is what he really wanted at the moment. He wanted Juliet, too, but she didn't seem too amused the idea. "Uh, Xander." He shook his head and realized his arms were still around her, "Sorry, I'm cuddler." "It's all right," she answered, gently removing his hands from her waist. "You're bleeding again." "Huh? Oh." As she fell back, Giles walked in the kitchen and dove forward to catch her. Fortunately, he did, and Buffy, Dawn, Willow, and Anya came in behind him. "Ooh, knights in shining armor. Fun fun," Buffy laughed, watching Giles hold the unconscious Juliet. Willow's eyes widened, "Wait.she's bleeding at the neck and Spike's on the floor.Xander, did he make her a vampire?" "I don't think so. He almost got me, but some how she distracted him, he lunged at her, she pushed him away but he nicked her with his fangs, am I making sense?" "Yes, Jules has a fear of blood, that's why she's passed out. We should probably get her to a hospital, she might need stitches." "Are you sure it's that bad?" Dawn asked, horrified, "I mean nothing a little first aid can take care of, right?" "Do you know first aid?" questioned Juliet, her head snapping up. Giles laid her on the table, "Darling, don't talk. It makes you bleed more. And could somebody get Spike out of here?" "Come on, Xander, it's time to be a he-man," Buffy sighed, "I'm sure another kick in the head should keep him out for a while longer." "Where are we taking him?" "Back to his house."
The roads were dark, and Spike was letting off a strange smell form the back of the car. Both Xander and Buffy cringed at the stench. "Think he's washed in while?" "Maybe he's actually rotting." "Yuck. Let's change the subject. So, do you like Jules yet?" "No." "Come on! What's not to like? She's." "Perfect! Fabulous! And drop-dead gorgeous! Buffy, all I want to do is hold her in my arms and love her! I'd have sex with in front of Giles just to have sex with her. I don't care what any of you would think of it and dammit. Dammit, I am so in love with her!" "More than you loved Anya?" "No! That's not what I'm saying. I mean, I still love Anya, but I'm falling in love with Juliet, too." "I can't believe this. She's older than Giles, for God's sake!" "So is Anya." "Now you have a thing for older women?" "Maybe I do. But both Anya and Juliet don't look their ages. How old is she anyway? 75? 80?" "Last time I saw her, she turned 173, so I'm guessing she's around 179 now." "How the hell does she do it?" "Spells. I remember the night before I left for Sunnydale; I snuck out and went to her house. Juliet was thinking about dying, you know her job was done, time to go. I talked her out of it, but that night bothered me for a while. I wondered if I should have let her die." "Could we please spare the sob story for a moment? Jules hit my bloody head and it's nearly throbbing." "You're up. Wonderful. Now get out." Buffy braked sharply and the car came to a screeching halt. "Fine, I know when I'm not wanted," Spike growled, getting out. When the door was slammed shut, she turned the car around and drove. "You won't tell Giles anything I said, right? Or anything I did." "You did something?" "I kissed her." "Poor, poor Xander. If Giles finds out, you're screwed."
Giles put a piece of gauze on Juliet's neck, covering the wound. It wasn't deep, and it wasn't life threatening, just a bit bloody. "Spike hasn't done anything like this in a while. Did you or Xander say anything to provoke him?" "You act like he's a dog you can train. He came to the door, Xander answered, and Spike lunged at him. I stopped him, and then he tried to attack me. That is what happened." "Maybe it's his chip." "Excuse me?" "Long story. We can ask Willow and Buffy in the morning." She stood up, "Fine then. How was patrolling?" "Oh, you know vampires and such. Makes me feel a bit primal." "Good way or bad way?"
"You know which way I'm talking about." Giles winked seductively and ran upstairs. A grin spread across Juliet's face, she knew exactly what he meant. Exhausted, Buffy, Willow, Dawn, and Anya lay draped on the couch. Many demons and vampires though the Slayer was still dead ("News doesn't travel fast here, does it?") and so they were surprisingly confronted with Buffy and most of the Scoobies. "What a night." "You said it." "Wonder what Xander and Juliet did." "I know." "Really? Tell us!" "Fine. Xander was lying this morning. He likes Juliet, a lot. He." "He what! He what!" "He kissed her. Xander kissed Giles's girlfriend!" "You're kidding!" "No!" "Xander?"
"Yes." "You mean, the Xander I know? The Xander who was engaged to me? Xander Harris?"
"Yes, the Xander we all know." "That bastard. I though he still loved me!" "He does.that's what he told me at least. He still loves you, but he thinks he might be falling in love with Juliet." "Wow, who knew that our lives could be a soap opera?!" "And I always thought we were more like a comic book!" "Damn Xander!"
