Lonely in my Heart
Part 6
1
Hugging her gently he runs a hand along her cheek were the tear tracks are brushing away the dampness that is there, he pulls her to him, trying hard to be fully taken in by her beauty. Xander has great will power, he knows this as he had once resisted her when she wore nothing but a raincoat, he could resist been taken in by her beauty.
Couldn't he?
Her breathing becomes shallower and he peers down and spots her eyelids closed hiding her beautiful eyes as she as slightly drifted off into a doze as she snuggles into his chest. He had not thought it possible to fall asleep while standing up but she had accomplished it.
Wow.. I must be boring or really really comfy
Smiling slightly he picks her up gently into his arms, she is so light, so huggable and so beautiful it takes his breath away as the moons light shines down on her. Leaning slightly in he brushes his lips against her forehead gently.. Then pulls back quickly.. THIS was not the plan.
You have self restraint USE IT He commanded himself.
The plan was simple, well it was when he first thought of it, go in, fight with the Scoobies, destroy bad guy and leave. Simple right?
Wrong.
He felt so lonely, so attached to this woman that lays in his arms he just wants to hold her and never let her go, never releasing her from his grasp, cuddling, kissing and touching. If not for the years he had been fighting he would have give in then and there but his will, his will to fight to persevere.. To not let anyone where they could influence him takes over, it now controls him. A soldier Xander, not unlike the one he had been so long ago, only duty would exist, nothing more.
Casually walking from the cemetery her in his arms he walks towards the Summer's place that he had seen so long ago hoping that they still held residence there.
He walked up Rovello drive not noticing any changes here, he was happy that one part of hid old life remained the same and never changed. Before he knows it he stands in front of the building. Buffy and Dawn's house.
No changes really, a few tiles seem chipped on the roof and it is dire need of a paint job but nothing major, the grass hasn't been cut for about 2 month but she probably didn't have time.
He walked up the steps to the door and tried the handle, success, it opened.
Slipping inside he saw the usual pictures mounting the walls, Buffy, Dawn and Buffy, Dawn and there mom. Smiling he casually looks around and notices no changes again and walks up the stairs quietly.
Sliding into her room he notices the bed slightly dishevelled but no matter, placing her in the bed he places the covers over her and she snuggles into the pillow that she now lays on. He turns not looking directly at her and leaves the room, the sounds of breathing come from two more rooms in the house.. Two.
Who is the other person?
He couldn't help it, curiosity got the better of him and he peeked into Dawn's room and there she was laying silently asleep sucking on her thumb like she used to so long ago, but she has changed. Her hair slightly trimmed to her shoulders, she is more grown up, and more beautiful, Xander smiles and walks from the room towards Joyce's.
Silently opening the door he peeks in, and looks toward the bed. A surprise.. FAITH?
Wow.. Didn't expect that one
She lays there probably butt naked under the covers as he can't see the signs of any clothes, she is as beautiful as ever, sexy and hot as well. He could not figure why she was here but.. He was happy, she had obviously changed her ways. Everyone deserved a second chance.
Better leave.. a man walking around an house at night.. Very Kooky
He leaves the house and walks back to get his bike from the graveyard.
------------------------
* The Next Morning*
Buffy, slowly drifts from a sleep, a happy sleep full of a long lost friend and someone she could possible love and could definitely need right now, her eyes open and she looks around her bedroom, nothing of interest, placing a pillow over her head she listens to sounds that come from outside.
A car passes, a bird flies by, the sound of a horn, a Xander right in front of her.. WHAT?
"What.. What was that, was it a dream?" She asks herself, the vision clear, he stands there after disposing of a vampire, leather coat on, hair so nice.. She isn't sure, it seems real.
Her mind had seemed to forget the night before with ease and she struggled to remember.. Then it came like a bolt of lightning through her skull. It was REAL.
"It was FUCKING real" she couldn't help the profanity or the shouting as she jumps up from the bed and jumps high.."He's alive. He's alive and well"
For so long they had wondered what had happened, what had happened to there friend. Did he die? For years they searched, Willow searched with the computer but nothing, Zilch. While Buffy was slightly confident it was real she wasn't 100% sure.. She needed to find out.
At that moment as she jumped for the fiftieth time on her bed Dawn flies through the bedroom door into her room to the sight of her sister.. Happy. She hadn't seen it in a while, Buffy was never truly happy, she hadn't been since she came back really. It was definitely unusual but Dawn smiled at her sisters antics.
"He's ALIVE" Buffy screams.
Who? Who's alive.. Dawn wonders and walks forward gripping Buffy's arm she pulls her to a sitting position on her bed.
"He's alive" Buffy repeats a smile wide on her face, Dawn was worrying now she thought this was extremely strange behaviour even for Buffy.
"Who sis, Who's alive"
"What's all this fucking noise" Faith walks into the bedroom butt naked.. "Someone's trying to sleep of several guys"
"Ewww" Dawn says chirply despite Faiths nudeness "And by the way.. Clothes, use them"
"I wouldn't need them if I was on my fantasy island surrounded by several gorgeous hot men.. with large.."
"FAITH" Buffy shouts suddenly slipping out of her stupor, she covers Dawn's ears.
"Oh come on she's nearly 25 for christ sake"
Buffy pulls her hands from Dawns ears.
"Maybe but.. That was so.. YOU"
"You know it BABY" Faith says and smiles "So what was with all the noise?"
"He's alive.. Xander.. He's alive"
Dawn falls to the ground and faith.. Well she runs to get dressed.
* Later that day *
"Giles for the last time I did not dream it"
Buffy had been trying to convince the gang all day that it wasn't a dream.
"Buffy" Willow says and grabs her hand "We.. We're just unsure, we looked and hoped for so long.. We just.. It's hard."
"I know Will.. I know But I SAW him, in the graveyard, he dusted 3 vamps.. "
"See" Spike says interrupting her, he had been good for some time, even had a soul and everything though he wasn't much different except he'd never turn on them or he'd be castrated "That's the part.. I'm not exactly saying he couldn't fight but 3 vamps.. He never could fight 3 on his own."
"Time changes people" Buffy replies "and it was him and we are going to find him, Understand"
When the slayer spoke all took note, they didn't not believe her, it was just hard to believe it was true. But if she needed this they would try there hardest, They all stand in the magic box that was still owned by Giles. The door was locked and a closed sign was put up.
Buffy, Faith, Dawn, Willow, Tara, Giles, Anya, Spike and Amy. What a motley crew, Witches, Slayers, Vampires, watchers and ex demons. They had fought so many different foes in the world. Saved the world on countless occasions and they now were searching for a lost friend in the same city as them, yet it was difficult.
They could find no record of a Xander Harris anywhere except in missing persons, his bank account had long been shut as Willow had found out so long ago. But there were only so many places to stay in Sunnydale now that was an upside.
"So the plan is to just look through all the hotels and motel?"
"Don't forget the bed and breakfasts"
"Well that's lame" Spike replies "just trial and error isn't there a quicker way.. How about a spell Willow?"
"Well we tried it once before so there's no saying its going to work now"
"We should split up" Giles informs them" And each take a part of town"
"Right" Buffy replies "Giles and Anya"
The sound of a groan from Giles can be heard
"He's only kidding" Anya replies "He loves me really"
"Sure" Faith says under her breath.
"Spike and Amy"
A groan from either side. They hate each other but Buffy thought it'd be amusing.
"Willow and Tara"
There relationship was stronger than ever, they had bumps along the way but they were stronger for it, they hold hands and smile.
"Faith and Dawn your with me.. We take shit central"
"God I hate that part of town" Dawn replies "It's such a mess.. and its called tembrook..remember"
"Always be shit central to me" Faith says with a smirk.
"Time to ROCK and ROLL" Giles shouts out and they all roll there eyes on cue and proceed to leave group after group.
--------------------
Xander wakes up to a banging on the door, he pulls himself out of bed in his boxers (Drool Queen Angel) And casually walks over to the door and pulls it open..
"Umm Hi"
