Chapter 9: The War of the Ex's





"She is missing again?" Buffy said angrily.

"Mrs. Summers?" A few voices said.

"Who is there?" Buffy asked.

"It's us," a kid said, as about 5 other kids fallowed him; they were all students at the high school.

"Oh, and how many times have I told you that I'm not married, so don't call me Mrs., Ms. makes sound like an old woman who got divorced and doesn't want any one to know, and Miss. makes it sound like when I got in trouble in high school, and high school were not my favorite years, so it is just Buffy AND what are you doing here?" Buffy said.

"We heard this place was haunted, so we came to check it out," a boy said, "Anyway what are YOU doing here?"

Buffy thought for a second, "My friend Angel," she points to Angel, "own this place he didn't sell it when he moved to L.A., sense he and his friends were visiting we just decided to go look at the house, and you are on private property, AND I know all of you curfews and it is past them, so I sagest that you run."

One of the kids looks at their watch, "Damn," is all she said as they ran home.

The Fang Gang gives her a look, "I am the school guidance consoler," Buffy said.

"You're the school guidance consoler, you have a job?" Angel asked.

"Yes Angel, I *don't* charge for slaying vampires and demons," Buffy said, with that look on her face, "But right now I'm not, guidance consoler Buffy, I'm The Slayer Buffy, we need to find Drusilla, so lets go to Xander's house."



We are at Xander's house; all of the Fang Gang and the Scoobies are there, except Anya.

"Hi Dead-boy," Xander said, as Angel walked through the door.

"Will you stop calling me that!?" Angel answered.

"Um. No!" Xander said.

"Xander he's not Spike he *CAN* hurt you," Buffy said.

"Oh, yeah. So Angel, Angelus, Mr. I don't know what your last name is, whatever you go by now, how are you?"

"I'm fine," Angel said.

Xander suddenly remembers something, "Buffy where is that portal to Hell you found in L.A.?" Xander asked.

"I closed it," Buffy said.

"Damn," Xander said.

"Why?" Buffy asked.

"Because if Cordelia is here that is the safest place for me," Xander said.

"Cordy has been missing for the last few months," Fred said.

Angel looks really sad, Buffy can sense that he is in love with her, and she feels angry, but dose not show it, then Anya dose the demon teleport thing.

"So I can sense that." she looks at every body, "There is no one that wants vengeance in this room, no one at all, well except me."

"Anya, I wish...." Buffy started.

"Buffy!!!" Dawn interrupted.

"I was going to wish for that Drusilla had never been born," Buffy said

"That means that I would not be here," Spike said.

"Two birds with one stone," Buffy said.

"Sorry Buff, can't it is not against one of your exs'," Anya said.

"Oh yea, I wish that Riley.." Buffy started.

"Buffy!!!! I liked Riley, he was nice, and.." Dawn started, but was interrupted by Angel.

"No, Buffy go on," Angel said.

"And he never tried to kill her friends!" as Dawn says this she looks at Angel.

"She's good," Angel said.

"She learned from the best," Buffy said smiling.

"So who did she learn it from, sense it was certainly wasn't you," Angel said.

"Well I didn't.." Gunn interrupted Buffy.

"Lets not have a war of the ex's," Gunn said.

"But I want to see who wins," Spike said.

"For once I agree with Spike, $20 on Buffy," Xander said.

"Your on," Gunn said, "I don't care if she is The Slayer she could never kill Angel," Gunn finished defending Angel.

"Acathla, 1998," Xander said triumphantly.

"Sward through to the chest, and he was sucked in to Hell," Buffy said proudly.

"But swards can't kill vampires," Fred said.

"They can, when they have been blessed by the first knight that killed Acathla, AND the vamp just raised Acathla," Buffy said.

"Hey you fainted once wail you were fighting me," Angel said defending himself.

"# 1: I was sick #2: Xander and Willow scared you away #3: I thought you didn't like to compare your self to Angelus," Buffy said happily.

"Angel, surrender, you can't win this," Fred said.

Angel gives Fred an angry look, then turns to Buffy "Fine, Buffy, you win," Angel says reluctantly.

"Thank you," Buffy says.

Gunn looks amazed as he gives Spike $20, "Thanks," Spike said.

"So now we need to find Drusilla," Buffy said.

"Yeah, at my side," a voice said, we see The Master and Drusilla.
