AN: Thanks so much for your reviews!! Here's chapter two! HMM I wonder what the gang has been up too for the past three months and what Spike's deal is. Well read to find out!!!!

Buffy, Willow and Dawn were walking through one of Sunnydale's Numerous Graveyards, on patrol. It's been three months since Willow went Super evil Witch on Sunnydale and the people she loved after Tara was killed. She tried her hardest to cope with what she did, but they all knew that when she was alone she cried.

Three months before, Buffy, Dawn, Anya and Giles were standing outside the wreckage of the Magic shop, when Willow and Xander walked up. Xander was a mess his face and chest were scratched and they all knew that must have been Willow's work. Willow didn't look at her friends at first she kept her head. Buffy walked over to her and lifted her head up. They shared eye contact and embraced crying in each others arms. Everything started to get better after that. Giles stayed in Sunnydale and Helped Xander and Anya rebuild the Magic shop and Buffy felt more safe knowing Spike wasn't going to be around.

As the three of them made their way through the graveyard, a shuffling was heard in the Bushes by what was Spike's crypt. Clem lived there now.

Buffy: Stay back

Dawn: (sighs and pulls out stake) Buffy what have we talked about

Buffy: Right... Sorry... Habit... stay close

They walked towards the bushes quietly. When Buffy was about to charge through the bushes at some unexpecting demon. A figure stumbled out. Buffy's heart jumped when she saw who it was.

Buffy: Spike?

Spike looked at Buffy, he was trembling.

Buffy: What's wrong with you?

Spike: Buffy make it stop hurting

Buffy: (confused) What? Make what... oh you jerk, you expect me to take you back... to forgive you for what you tried to do?

Spike: Buffy I...

Buffy: Don't even try to apologize (to Dawn and Willow) Let's go

Spike watched the three of them walk off, he started towards his crypt. He opened the door to find it occupied by Clem.

Clem: Spike! Your back, hey!

Spike: I have a problem, Clem

Clem: What is it buddy? These ears are big and floppy for a reason.

Spike: (looks Clem right in the eyes) I have a soul

Buffy Stormed back to her house, Spike had such the nerve to come back and try to win her back. She angrily climbed the stairs.

Buffy: (yelling to Willow and Dawn) I'M GOING TO BED!

Willow & Dawn: Goodnight

They were responded by a slammed door.

Dawn: Wow, seeing Spike really made her mad

Willow: He did try to hurt her

Dawn: But he seemed hurt or something was bothering him

Willow: Well, he'll show up here sooner or later

Dawn: Not here, Giles put up that unwelcome spell

Willow: (cringes at word spell)

Dawn: I guess I'll head up to bed too, are you ok?

Willow: Yeah I'm fine Goodnight

Dawn: Night, Willow

Willow watched Dawn go upstairs and she went to the back porch, where she looked up at the stars and began to cry, as she did every night over her lost love.

The magic box was looking better everyday and Anya had gone from hating Xander to merely disliking him... a lot.

Xander and Giles had rebuilt the front part of the store and were finishing up the wall that separated The shop from Buffy's training room.

Giles: Xander will you hand me that hammer

Xander: Sure thing G-man

Anya: I'm going to go home, make sure you lock up and don't brake anything that isn't already broken

Xander: OK see ya Anya

Anya: Goodnight, Giles... Xander

They watched Anya walk out.

Giles: I still haven't gotten that whole story you know

Xander: What?

Giles: What happen with you and Anya

Xander: Oh that story, well you heard the big details of it, I freaked, left Anya at the alter, she got mad and became a demon again, got happy with Spike right here in this Magic shop and Willow, Buffy, Warren, Andrew, Jonathon and I all got a front row seat to watch and now we're here and I have no idea were I'm going from here.

Giles: (laughs)

Xander: What? What's so funny?

Giles: (pats his shoulder)Xander, (laughs) You finally grew up (goes back to work)

Xander: (confused) What do you mean by that?

Spike told Clem everything starting with what Happen with Buffy and how he got he soul restored.

Spike: I can't stand the guilt, It's to much.

Clem: Have you talked to Buffy yet?

Spike: She wouldn't give me a chance.

Clem: Well your gonna have to make her listen, cause I think you guys belong together it's your destiny

Spike: (softly) Bloody Hell, she hates destiny

Clem: Maybe you can give her a better view on things

Spike: Maybe... I'll go see her tomorrow, first thing

Clem: First thing tomorrow night right?

Spike: No, first thing, do you reckon they will be at the magic shop?

Clem: Yeah, they have been rebuilding it ever since Xander brought Willow back to her old self

Spike: What? What happen here when I was gone?

Clem: Tara, the nice witch, Willow's friend she was shot by one of those bad guys that had bothered Buffy all last year she died. (pauses) Willow went all-evil with the Magics and it took a lot to bring her back.

Spike: Wow, I guess I'll get the full story, I'm going to tell them all they all deserve to hear

Clem: Well you got a plan

The next day Buffy, Willow and Dawn met Xander, Anya and Giles at the Magic shop for another long day working on the shop.

Buffy: Geez, how long were you guys here to last night you got a lot done

Xander: We still have a lot to do though

Buffy: Well lets get started then

They got started on their work. Soon after the back wall was completed. The smoking form of Spike charged into the shop

Xander: (starts towards him) Your not welcome here Spike

Spike dropped the smoking blanket on the ground and looked at Buffy

Buffy: Get out Spike you... (trails off)

Buffy saw Spike's Blue eyes through the thinning smoke, something had changed. She had seen that look before, his eyes were sincere, like when Willow restored Angel's...

Buffy: Oh my God

AN: see what Buffy does in the next installment of Grief, Spike's Confession.
