"Spike, please keep your legs inside your seat." Buffy insisted as Spike's
leg managed to hit hers again as he attempted to stretch in his seat.
"Hey, this was not my idea, Slayer." He whined "Egypt is the last place I
want to go with you."
"Oh forgive me, it was your ex who kidnapped Xander and whisked him off to
Egypt."
"Well, it doesn't look like he was kidnapped. We know Drusilla threatened
"Red" to make her a gem of amora, so that she could walk in the daylight,
and I know she wouldn't kill the wanker, she's fond of him in her own way.
"What's in Egypt, Spike? I don't think you told Giles everything."
"Ever heard of "The Pharaoh's Gift?" He asked, his lips curving into a
cocky grin.
"No, I've not heard of it. Let me guess, it's an ancient Egyptian myth of a
gift with supposed magical powers"
"Actually, Slayer, "The Pharaoh's gift is the blood of the Pharaoh's. Now
if a vampire manages to get hold of it, they will become even more powerful.
The Pharaoh's Gift also has the power to cure and if Dru managed to find it,
she become sane again. A sane and powerful Dru..." Spike paused.
"Dru is insane, Spike. Nothing she does make any sense. I don't take too
kindly that she took Xander."
Spike sat quietly a grin crossing his lips.
"Why did you come with me, Spike?"
"You need me to help find Dru and that little wanker. I bet you they're
fucking one another. Dru shouted his name once when we were together." He
remembered the night she whispered , "Xander, my kitten..." in her sleep.
"I think you're letting your insecurities show, Spike. Jealousy is not a
pretty shade on you. You need to relax. Willow was not that happy to make
you a ring, but I suppose if it helps make sure Xander's safe, she'll stop
sulking soon." Buffy knew that she had the worst luck in the world.
"Yeah, Red looked like she wanted to kill me. This ring will allow me to
walk in the day." He explained as he subconsciously twisted the ring on
his finger.
"Yeah, I just hope that Dru doesn't hurt Xander."
"Nah, Dru likes Xander. She literally tends to keep her lovers close to her
bosom." Spike simply hated that he had to sit next to her.
"Please shut up, Spike. You're so crass." Buffy rolled her eyes and
silently cursed Giles for insisting she take Spike with her on her trip to
the land of the Pharaoh's. .

"Dru, why do you want to become sane again?" Xander asked his captor.
"I want to be with you, kitten. You make me so happy." She paused, her head
tilting to one side and a dreamy look briefly crossing her face. "I know
that the Slayer and Spike are also on their way to the land of the
Pharaoh's." Drusilla whispered into his ear.
"Drusilla, you kidnapped me. Buffy and Spike are not going to like this."
"Hmm, I know that my lovely kitten. You do think I look lovely? And in
time..." her voice faded as she placed her gently on his shoulder, her hand
gently caressing his hair.
"Dru, this is not funny. I didn't want to go to Egypt. You tricked me into
going with you. You could do this by yourself."
"Then me and Miss Edith would have been so lonely. Miss Edith told me that
we are going to be so happy together. We will be so happy together." She
repeated her singsong voice breaking the silence of the room.
"Drusilla, now listen to me." Xander began, his voice forceful. "I like you,
but I've already got a girlfriend, and she's waiting for me at home.
"Hmm, that will change. She doesn't know what's inside your heart. Me and
MISS EDITH know how you ache for someone who understands you. I understand
that you've been hurt. She's only there because you're so lonely. I've been
lonely too. Loneliness is no excuse. You know you don't love her. Deep
down, we're alike, because so many people have hurt us. Both of us have had
very bad "daddies". We will be happy together, you'll see, my sweet kitten.
Now, let's go dance." Drusilla placed Xander's left hand on her waist and
his right hand on her hand.
"I guess dancing couldn't hurt." He admitted as he began to move with
Drusilla in his arms. He couldn't believe that Dru had read him so easily. It
was as if they were two halves of the same whole who had been searching for
an eternity to find the other, to find the completeness that he now found
holding her in his arms. No, this was crazy. How could he forget that Dru had
shanghaied him.
To be continued.
