"And that was it?" Giles was asking her after she finished telling him everything.
"Well, he told me he was going to make sure he was going to be the one to kill me. Then, he started getting really wiggy and I don't know.. worked up. He tried to get me to fight him." Buffy told him.
"Did you?" Giles asked, a bit concerned. He didn't understand why Buffy would choose to go to Spike for the answers she wanted. He knew what Spike had said was the truth. That wasn't the problem.
"Did I what?"
"Fight him?" Giles saw the way they got when they got 'worked up' as Buffy called it. He saw how self-involved they got. They would completly ignore everything around them. When they were around each other, with everybody else, they might as well be alone. If Giles didn't know better, he'd say there was quite a bit of sexual tension.
"Oh, no, why would I waste my time? I got what I asked for, nothing more."
Giles watched his Slayer closely. She was pretty upset about her answer she had received. But, she knew it was the truth, and took it as it was. He had to respect her for that.
"If its any consalation, Spike's threat.. well, it can't be followed through on." Giles offered.
"That's what bothers me" Buffy replied softly. "I mean, it should be a comfort that he's chipped and all, but.. Giles, one day he could get it out somehow, or something." She stood and begun pacing.
"Yes, well, I doubt he'll prove much of a problem."
"Giles.. don't you get it? I CAN'T stake him." Buffy ran her hands through her hair in frustration. "I want to... believe me."
"I'm sorry.. I don't understand" Giles said, starting to get concerned for her.
"Yeah, well, I guess that means we're pretty much gonna be in the dark on that one, coz I don't get it either." Buffy stopped pacing to look Giles in the eye. "He can't do it either, you know" She added, so softly he almost couldn't understand her.
Before Giles could say anything, the front door burst open. And Xander and Spike came running in.
All traces of frustration and confusion left Buffy's face. It was replaced with alarm. And it grew as the rest of the gang dashed in behind, baracading the door behind them.
"What's going on?" Buffy asked them.
"We were out patrolling. A whole bunch of demons showed up" Xander replied.
"If Spike hadn't showed up, we wouldn't have gotten out of there alive." Willow added.
"My Lord, how many were there?" Giles asked, worry evident in his voice.
"A half-dozen or so." Xander said said, out of breath.
"Are they coming?" Buffy asked, her Slayer mode coming forth.
"No we got them all. Just almost died doing it" Willow responded.
"We ran here coz we were afraid that there might be more. We figured we needed to do research." Xander finished.
"Yes, well, that would be helpful." Giles gestured to the books. "Let's see what we can find."
