"Kitten," Drusilla batted her eyes at Xander. "Very soon we are going to
arrive in Cairo. What do you think we should do first?"

"Drusilla, I want to go home." He shouted. "Cairo is the last place I
want to be, especially with you."

"Miss Edith whispers that you will love Cairo. We will find adventure and
excitement."

"Drusilla, listen to me." Xander grabbed her by the arm. "I'm not
interested in your plans. I don't want to help you."

"You're hurting me kitten. Miss Edith says that you are scared of
this." She quickly captured his lips in a kiss that caught that caught him
off guard.

"Katrina, what are you doing?" Lokenrah asked aware that she'd been
walking around the cave carrying something, hidden from his vies.

"I'm trying to find a spell to enhance my abilities. These books are not
helping." She replied, her voice laced with frustration.

"Katrina, you worry too much. We will let our enemies come to us."

"I understand." She replied, wondering how his plan could work.

"Slayer, are you feeling better now that you cleaned up." Spike asked, a
small grin etched on his lips.

"You smug bastard. The only reason you are is here to keep an eye out for
Dru and keep her in check."

"She likes the little wanker more than me." He replied. The smile
replaced by a look of distaste. "I really don't understand what goes through
her head sometimes."

"You need to kick her to the curb, Spike. She doesn't want you, but you
want to make it work. Why do you love that crazy psycho?"

"Probably for the same reason that the little wanker will. She's a lot of
fun, especially when she goes nutso. There's something almost charming.
Peaches said Dru was a lot like you before she was turned."

"I find that hard to believe." Buffy gulped realizing that she felt a
pang of sympathy for Spike.
