A/N: Thanks for the reviews! ^_^ Please keep reviewing. And I know that wasn't the exact way that you turn someone, but it was easiest to work into my story. Oh, and I don't think Buffy has curtains in her room but whatever. I can't look into every single detail.
"Buffy. Buffy!" Joyce called, shaking Buffy to awaken her.
"A few more minutes," Buffy mumbled.
"Buffy, you have school," Joyce reminded her, opening the curtains and letting a stream of light fill the room. Buffy hissed and cowered from the direct sun.
"What's wrong?" Joyce asked.
"I'm not feeling very well," Buffy said from under the covers. "The sun is hurting my eyes."
"You aren't just trying to get out of that history test you have today?" she asked.
"No, I feel ill," Buffy lied. Joyce hesitated but nodded and left Buffy's room. The second she closed the door, Buffy leaped up and closed the curtains, making sure she avoided the light.
"Where do you think you're going?" Joyce asked as Buffy tried to escape that night.
"Bronze," she simply said, continuing outside.
"Not in your condition, and not looking like that!" Joyce exclaimed. Buffy looked down at her tight black tank top and short, black, leather, mini-skirt. Her eyes had more makeup than usual, surrounded in black. Her lipstick was dark, deep, almost blood red color. She pulled Angel's leather jacket on.
"I'm perfectly fine, I look great, I don't see the problem," Buffy said.
"You are not going out. You are staying here," Joyce said. Buffy continued outside. "Buffy stop!" Buffy barely glanced back and continued to the Bronze.
A lone woman walked down the street, hurrying from all the shadows that loomed out at her.
"Dinner," Buffy whispered, and walked along after her. The woman picked up the pace, but Buffy simply quickened hers. Buffy grabbed her neck and brought it to her mouth, vamped out.
"Please, don't," the woman cried. Buffy ignored her pleas and drank from her, the blood making her stronger. She tossed the body aside and continued walking.
Buffy sauntered into the Bronze, eyes searching for her friends. She smiled happily and rushed over to them.
"You have some blood on your lip," Angel noticed immediately. Vampires could sense blood.
"Did you run into some vampires on the way here?" Willow worriedly asked.
"Yeah, a few. No biggie," Buffy lied. "Now come on Angel." She pulled Angel onto the floor, leaving Willow and Xander in confusement.
"Do you notice anything odd about her?" Xander asked.
"Well, I mean, she did almost die," Willow rationalized. "Spike a-almost killed her. She has a right to be a little different. Maybe she just wants to live life to the fullest."
"Maybe," Xander said, watching Buffy dancing wildly around the guys on the floor, Angel left just watching her. "Something seems odd to me. Bad. And on Hellmouth that's never a good thing."
It was nearing to morning and yet Buffy was still dancing away. Willow and Xander had stayed, despite their pleas to leave. Buffy hadn't let them, and she continued to act increasingly oddly.
"Buffy, we really have to go," Angel said to her.
"Oh Angel, you're such a party-crasher," Buffy whined. "I want to stay longer!"
"It's almost sunrise. I really have to go," Angel said quietly.
"Sunrise?" Buffy asked, almost in alarm.
"Yeah. Sun, flames, not a big hit with me."
"You're right. We have to go right now," Buffy said and grabbed Willow and Xander. "We're leaving."
"Let me walk you home," Angel said to Buffy, once they were outside. Willow and Xander had rushed off as soon as Buffy had told them they were going.
"No, I can manage to walk home by myself," Buffy said.
"All right," Angel said, "If you're sure."
"You're so sweet," Buffy said, caressing his face. She then pulled him into a deep kiss. The kiss was nothing like Angel had ever felt before. It had hunger and passion in it, very unlike Buffy. She was almost eating his face.
"Ow!" Angel pulled away, his lip bleeding.
"Ow?" Buffy asked in amusement. "You don't really seem like the 'ow' type."
"Your tooth," Angel said in confusement. "It pierced me." Buffy, however, was already walking away.
"Isn't your house that way?" Angel called after her. She didn't turn around.
"Nice place you got here," Buffy said, entering Spike and Dru's warehouse.
"I knew you'd come." Spike jumped from above and landed in front of her.
"There was any doubt? I'm ashamed, you should know I'd be faithful."
"Not me, Dru," Spike said.
"Buffy," Buffy said randomly. "I hate that name. It just doesn't strike fear in the hearts of people."
"Slayer—" Spike began.
"I'm not the Slayer anymore," Buffy said, glaring at Spike.
"Right, Buffy, do they suspect anything?"
"Angel does, and I think Xander might. Angel's no fun though," Buffy pouted. "Always asking me what's wrong, if I'm ok."
"He always was intuitive," Drusilla said from the doorway.
"Dru," Spike said. "I thought you were feeding."
"I was, and then I served Miss Edith her tea. She loves her tea." Buffy rolled her eyes.
"You can always kill Angel," Spike said, ignoring Drusilla.
"But he could be so useful," Buffy said. "And he's just too…" Buffy giggled, "I don't want to kill him. I want him to be evil."
"He has a soul, love. As long as he has that soul, he'll stay how he is," Spike said.
Buffy smiled. "That shouldn't be a problem. Gypsy curses can always be rid of. And I know just who to ask."
"Giles?" Buffy asked, entering the library the next night.
"Buffy? Are you all right? We've been terribly worried, you weren't in school today," Giles said.
"I'm fine," Buffy said. "Sick. Stayed home."
"Oh, well I hope you get better soon," Giles said.
"I need to talk to you," Buffy said. "About Angel."
"What about him?" Giles asked.
"Well, I know he has a soul and everything, but he is still a vampire. It worries me. What if something makes him lose his soul? Is it possible?" Buffy asked innocently.
"I'm sure it can be done. I'd have to do some research, but most curses can be reversed."
"Good. Research it, pull out all your books."
"Don't you think that defeating Spike is the priority?" Giles asked.
"I'll deal with him. You just find out everything there is about Angel's curse."
