Buffy curled up in her bed. She was exhausted and she had so much left to deal with. She had Glory to fight, an apocalypse to prevent, her sister to protect, Darla to ritually eviscerate and disembowel before she staked the bitch to a tree and waited for the sun to rise and dust the bitch and then of course there was Angel.
He had followed her back to Sunnydale catching up with
her at her house when she first arrived. He had pounded on her door hard enough
to knock it off its hinges and wouldn't stop until she whipped it open with a
stake in her hand.
She had asked him why the hell he was pounding her door
in. He had the invite; he could have just walked in.
"I was being polite damn it now let me in Buffy."
"Polite well then by all means Angel come on in and sit
down. Can I get you a cup of tea?"
Sarcasm and thinly veiled hostility could be heard in
Buffy's voice but either Angel didn't hear it or he was ignoring it.
"Actually tea would be very nice."
Yep he was definitely ignoring it. Angel went and sat in
the living room as Buffy walked into the kitchen and fixed Angel his tea.
"I know you're still angry and upset but we really need
to deal with this."
Buffy walked back into the room and handed Angel his tea.
She watched with curious eyes. Amazingly enough he brought the tea to his lips
and as soon as the tea touched his mouth it burned like fire. He looked up at
the spot where Buffy had occupied only moments before but she was gone.
Rage and pain coursed through him like blood.
"BUFFY." He bellowed.
Angel was up off of the couch and out the door after her.
~*~*~*~*~*
Buffy had barely waited for Angel to take a sip of her
'tea' before slipping out of the door. Although part of her really wanted to
stay and watch his disbelief at her putting holy water in his drink but she
knew better than to stay near the enraged vampire.
Angel however had made short work of finding her and he
had walked up behind her, spun her around and backhanded her for her little
stunt.
Buffy went sprawling to the ground in shock but looking
up at the blisters around Angel's mouth she couldn't help but smirk.
"What's the matter Angel? Didn't you enjoy your tea?"
"Real funny Buffy."
Although it sounded more like rwel fuddy Buthy because of
the blisters and welts the holy water caused.
"What not enough sugar? Tea can leave a bad almost bitter
taste in your mouth, among other things. Isn't that right Angel?"
Angel looked like he wanted to say something but his
mouth hurt to much so he settled for throwing punches instead.
"All right a man of little words. Speech is overrated
anyhow."
So the two of them battled it out. It was a all out,
knock down, drag down no holds barred fight. The two of them went at each other
in the true nature of their calling as Vampire and Vampire Slayer with no sign
of letting up.
"We are going to deal with this Buffy."
"What's to deal with? I'm here and if you fuck off all is
well."
"I don't think so. I need to explain what happened."
Buffy had been walking away from Angel but she suddenly
whirled around and advanced on him.
"You know Angel you may be like a couple centuries older
than me but I do know what it was you were doing with that bitch."
"That's not what I meant Buffy and you know it."
"I know what you meant Angel and I know what you've been
up to."
"Well then enlighten me."
"You've been obsessed with Darla. In fact according to my
source you've become about four beers short of a six pack since someone
reanimated her."
Angel was momentarily shocked into silence. He hadn't
counted on Buffy knowing anything about what had been happening to him in
recent months. However he needed to make her understand what had happened with
Darla. Although it wasn't going to be easy, as he didn't completely understand
it himself.
"How could you do it Angel? How could you be with her
again?"
"Why does it matter if I was with her? Huh Buffy? We
aren't together anymore. I mean am I not aloud to partake of pleasures of the
flesh. I mean you certainly have or are you going to deny that you are screwing
Captain Cardboard."
Buffy thought about that for a minute. Trying to come up
with an answer that would penetrate to his heart that would evoke another
feeling deep inside. Something that might make Angel feel just the slightest
fraction of the jealousy and hatred and rage she was feeling right now…and then
it came to her.
"It's not about you being with another girl Angel, it's
about you being with Her."
"Still not understanding."
"Well then how's about I go hook up with Spike. Let
William show me a good time, let him show me all he's learned at your side and
then we'll see how much you understand then."
Buffy could see it. Buffy could see the idea of her being
anything other than mortal enemies with Spike stoking a raging fire of jealousy
within Angel. Of course Buffy didn't stop there.
"Cause like you said Angel we aren't together anymore so
what difference could it possibly make who I'm with right? Spike's as good as
the next guy."
Buffy turned and walked away from Angel.
"Yep now that I think about it you're right. We aren't
together you are free to do whomever you please. Of course what's good
for the goose…Go home Angel, go back to your bitch. We're good here."
Angel just stared at Buffy a minute unsure of what she
was up too. It wasn't long before he found out.
"I wonder what Spikes up to right now because I have a
lot of pent up energy here that needs a good strong outlet. You know with
someone that can take a licking and keep on ticking."
"Y-you wouldn't da-re." Angel could barely choke the
words out through his anger.
"Try me."
Of course Buffy wouldn't go anywhere near Spike. That was
just well it was…EWWWWWWW. However Angel didn't need to know that, yet.
Buffy threw open the door to the Magik Shop and stormed
inside, Angel hot on her heels
Okay just so you understand we are now back to the
beginning. We have found out why Buffy and Angel are fighting and we are now
progressing forward.
So….so…do we like it or not. I'm a fanfic feedback freak…
