Rating: PG-13 - R I'm not sure on the exact rating because it will very from time to time
Timeline: After "Forever" Other then that it's completely mine...I have changed the storyline greatly in that we can safely say Glory had kicked it ^_^. And it's probably just after the end of Season 5 rolling on in the summer.
Disclaimer: Buffy and Angel do not belong to me they belong to the man who gave me more hope that Buffy and Angel will end up together in the end...Joss!
Distribution: If you want it take it, but let me know where you are putting it.^_^.
Dedication: To my sis Lissa (Roswelliankitten) who actually gave me the insentive and the idea to write it.

-7-

Angel and Buffy sat on the hood of Angel's Plymouth Belvedere on the edge if the beach looking out into the ocean. "So what is it you wanted to tell me?"
Angel tightened his arm along her shoulders pulling him closer and leaned down kissing her lightly on the top of the head. "Actually it's a prophecy...The prophecy of the vampire with a soul who will become human...the Shenshu."
"Are you saying...?"
"What I'm saying had to do with our possible future...there is a great chance that I will one day be human. I don't know how long it will take me to achieve my humanity...that's up to the Powers."
"That's great Angel!" Buffy wrapped her arms tightly around Angels waist and pulled him tightly to her and held him close.
"But..."
"But?" Buffy pushed herself up and looked Angel in the eye. "But what?"
"It could take me anywhere from a month to a hundred years...that is the but..."
"Why is it there is always a but?? Why can't we just look at things at face value? Huh? Why must we always bring up a but??" Buffy's eyes filled with pain as she slid off the hood of the car and ran up the beach.
Angel sat there for a minute before quickly following after her. "Buffy...!"
Buffy reached up to the cross around her neck and yanked it off the chain breaking as she turned in the sand to face Angel. "You know what's keeping us apart? Everything! You with your 'you need a normal life' speeches, the powers, even this!" Buffy chucked the cross at him which on reflex he quickly recovered holding it tightly in his hand as he watched Buffy race off into the night. Still holding the cross Angel ran after her finding her leaning against the pier. "It's not fair Angel..."
"When is it ever fair Buffy?" Angel held the cross out to her the chain hanging from his closed hand. Buffy looked at his hand and then up to him.
"Doesn't that hurt?"
"No why?" Angel looked at her curiously.
"Look how you are holding it Angel..." Buffy pointed at his hand where he saw the small silver chain falling from his enclosed fist. Opening his fingers her saw the cross nestled in his fingers. Buffy moved in closer and pulled the cross out of his fingers and looked down at his hand. Not a mark was present not even a little red one. Holding it up toward Angel he flinched as she held it to his neck but there wasn't even a reaction.
"Buffy..." Angel pulled her hand with the cross away as a small tear trickled down his cheek.
"Has something like this happened before? Any odd occurances?" Curiously Buffy rested her ear against his chest but hurd only silence.
"Actually...yes...something did happen before.
"What?"
"I...I went into Kates apartment with out her inviting me in...Though that was different..."
"How is it different Angel? You're a vampire you know the rules...no crosses...invitation only...there is no...exceptions..."
"It was different...Kate was unconscious..."
"Unconscious is not dead Angel...Do you think it's possible you are earning that Juice thingy as you go along?"
"I don't know we never got that much into it..."
"Well I'd say research...I can have Giles do some looking if you want too...You know to help Wesley out alittle bit."
"We can worry about that later." Angel smiled taking her hand and walked her out toward the waters edge where he stood as the water rushed up over the tops of their feet.
"Angel your shoes!" Buffy laughed as he kicked them off only to throw them into the deep water.
"Promise me something Buffy..."
"Anything..."
"Promise me, if we can when I become human, you and I will stand in this very spot when the sun is shinning above us on day."
A tear fell from her eye at just the thought of her and Angel actually being on the beach together the sun giving him a well deserved tan. "Of course we will!" Buffy smiled and threw herself into his arms and leaned her head against his chest.

"I can just imagine the inquisition I will have to face...It feels like I'm Veronica Franco and you're Marco Venier without the whole courtisan thing." With a quirky grin Buffy and Angel stood at Cordelia's door.
"Hey didn't they make a movie about them?"
"Angel knowing some Pop Culture? Yeah they did...frankly I like the movie better...the book was so boring...it was almost half way through the book before they even mentioned Veronica."
"You read the book? That doesn't seem like your type of book.."
"I tried to...got so I got sick of learning the history of EVERY person in Venice before I got to read about Veronica."
"I imagine that would be boring yes." Angel looked back toward his car. "I guess I should get going the sun will be coming up soon."
"Of course." Buffy smiled wrapping her arms tightly around him and stood on her tip toes kissing him lightly on the lips. "Can I see you tomorrow?"
"Sure why don't you come by...I'll be at the Hyperion...come at any time." Angel smiled and leaned in kissing her again before turning his back to her and walked casually to his car. Buffy stood in the walkway until Angel's car was out of sight before walking into Cordelia's house and fumbling her way through her strange surroundings in the dark. When she flipped on her light Cordelia was sitting on the bed with a big bowl of popcorn.
"Cordelia? What are you still doing up?"
"Well I'm used to late nights now and there is no way in hell I'd miss a good chat session about yours and Angels date. So when I heard the car pull up I popped us some popcorn and now I'm all set." Buffy chuckled and dropped excitedly hopped onto the bed and grabbed a handful of popcorn as she began to tell Cordy everything.

Buffy and Cordy walked up the steps of the Hyperion still talking about Buffy's date with Angel as they walked in. "So you are saying he can touch crosses now? This is so weird."
"Tell me about it...hey did he ever tell you and Wesley about not being invited into that cop ladies house?"
"Oh yeah that's old news..."
"Ooh..."Buffy's eyes looked downcast thinking that something that momentus happened and she didn't even get a phone call.
"Yeah once she found out he was a vampire she refused to give him the invitation."
"Oh you are thinking like that...no I mean he actually went into her apartment without need of the invitation!"
"What? When was this?"
"He didn't say exactly when it happened...just that it did..."
"It must have been during the big Darla thing..."
"Darla? What Darla thing?"
Cordelia almost dropped her coffee mug when she realized Buffy didn't know about Darla. "Well...uh..."
"Cordy come on, when are we gonna stop acting like high school kids? What DARLA thing? Cause last I knew Darla was dead...I was there when he killed her." Buffy put her hands on her hips waiting for Cordelia to explain.
"Maybe that is something you should as Angel yourself Buffy..." Buffy turned at the new voice and saw Wesley standing in the door frame of his office.
"And where is Angel?" Wesley pointed to the stairs behind him.
"Angel will be up there."

Angel was sitting in his chair when there was a loud knocking at his door. "Angel it's me." Smiling Angel stood up and opened the door inviting Buffy in.
"Buffy, I was hoping you'd stop by early." When he leaned into kiss her Buffy pulled away and walked around him to sit down in his chair.
"Is there something I should know?"
"No that I know of why?"
"Then why downstairs when Cordelia brought up Darla the entire room got silent?"
Angel leaned against the door it shutting behind him. "That's a long story..."
"Good cause I've got all the time in the world." Crossing her legs Buffy sat back into the chair getting comfertable.
