"Morning," Angel said as Buffy slowly opened her eyes. "Hey," she
responded groggily. "How are you feeling?" "Better. I told you I heal
fast." She propped her chin on his chest. "I know. I'm just worried about
you. What happened last night?" "I don't know. He was the usual vamp. I
just got distracted and he caught me off guard." "We should get up," Angel
said as he rolled out of bed. "But I'm comfy." Buffy complained. "I guess
you're right I should go take a shower." She got up and walked into the
bathroom.

The door to the Magic Box swung open. Spike barged in covered in a blanket. He took it off and threw it on the ground. "Where's the slayer?" he demanded. Willow, Giles, Xander and Tara were all sitting around a desk covered in books. Anya was working the cash register. "Buffy's in L.A. working on a case with Angel," Willow responded while skimming through the front page of "The Sunneydale Press." "Bloody hell! She's with peaches? Who is going to keep them from shagging?" "I've got it!" Giles announced before anyone could respond to Spike's annoying questions. Willow looked up from the paper. "It's called a Circa demon and it can morph into any form of mammal. It's original form, however, is simply a horned, reddish demon with extendable jaws. It feeds off human heads and the dust of vampires. Willow why don't you go on the net and see what you can find about it? See if you can track down what town it came from and where it's going next. Look for patterns. I believe it travels in groups of about two-hundred." "I'm on it." Willow got up to retrieve her laptop. "I'll call Buffy and inform her."

Cordelia picked up the phone on the second ring. "Angel Investigations. We help the helpless. How may I help you?" "Cordelia, this is Giles. May I speak with Buffy?" "Yes, one minute." Cordelia put the phone down and walked into Angel's office where Buffy, Wesley, and Gunn were looking for clues on the recent murder. "Buffy, Giles is on the phone. Make it quick, I'm waiting for a call." "I'll try," Buffy walked out of the office and picked up the phone. "Giles?" "Buffy, I found some information on the demon." "Okay, talk." Giles informed Buffy about everything he had found. "Willow is looking for more on the Internet. I'll call you when we get more information." "'Kay. Thanks, Giles. I'll tell Angel when he wakes up." "Bye." Buffy hung up the phone. "I'm off Cordy," Buffy announced as she returned to the office.
"Leave it to Giles to find our demon," Buffy said to Angel during patrol. She had just told him all the information she had received from her watcher. "So this Circa demon feds off human heads and vampire dust?" Angel asked "Yup that's what Giles says." "I understand the human part but usually vampires and demons are on the same side." Suddenly a dark haired vampire, wearing clothes from the fifties, rushed past Buffy knocking her onto Angel. The vampire ran away before they had a chance catch it. "Are you okay?" Angel laughed. "Ya, I'm fine. He was really fast," Buffy said as she lifted herself off him. They got back up. Angel started to continue walking but Buffy grabbed his arm. He turned around. They both noticed the how close together they were standing. Angel looked deep into her hazel eyes. He could hear her heart beating rapidly. Their faces edged closer to each other. Then it happened. They kissed. It was soft and romantic. Finally, Angel pulled away. "We should get back. Its late," he said. "Yeah, we should." They walked back to the hotel in silence.
TBC… Are Angel and Buffy going to get together? Read Chapter 5 to find out.
