~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they saw Jack with a gun, Angel immediately stepped in front of Buffy, "Buffy, get out of here."
Jack held the gun straight at Buffy's head, "No, you stay right where you are. You know, it's not every day that you get a chance to catch the all- powerful Angel off guard. Of course, that's perfect for me. Buffy; is that your name? Such a pretty name for such a pretty girl. Buffy, honey, why don't you come over here and stand next to me?"
Buffy could see the fire in his eyes when he spoke to Jack, "If you even touch her, I'll kill you. I'm gonna kill you anyway, but if you touch her, it will be a death far worse than you could ever imagine."
Jack laughed, "Now, I really don't think that you have the place to be making threats; after all," he wiggled the gun, "I have the gun."
Jack saw Angel start to reach in his back pocket and he cocked his gun, "Don't even think about it. If you so much as touch it, she's a dead one."
Angel stopped, "This is between you and me. Let her go."
"Well, like you said, now that I know she's on your side, she's in for it."
"You'll have to kill me before I'll let that happen."
"That's not a problem."
Angel could see Jack eyeing Buffy, "You are signing your death warrant."
"I'm never gonna get her alone am I?"
"Damn straight." Buffy glared at Jack.
"Ok then, there's only one thing left to do." He pointed the gun straight at Buffy's head and pulled the trigger.
"No!" Angel screamed and pushed Buffy out of the way.
Being as Angel was like a foot taller than Buffy, the bullet meant for Buffy's head, hit Angel's shoulder and he dropped like a ton of bricks.
Without even thinking about it, Buffy looked right past Jack's head and shouted, "Oh my god, Xander!"
Like the gullible little fool that he was, Jack turned around, ready to fire at the Xander that wasn't there.
Buffy took her only chance, she kicked the gun out of Jack's hand and it went flying in the air. When Jack turned around to face Buffy, she kicked as high as she could and caught Jack straight in the jaw, and he was out like a light; he dropped to the ground almost as fast as Angel.
When Buffy saw that Jack was out, she ran to Angel. He was laying there holding his shoulder. Buffy quickly took off her shirt and wrapped it around Angel's shoulder. Angel noticed that the tank top she was wearing brought out her best...features. He quickly looked away and smiled, "Where did you learn that?" He looked at Jack lying on the ground.
Buffy continued wrapping the shirt around Angel's arm, "Kick boxing. It does wonders when you are really stressed." She smiled.
Angel chuckled, "I can see that."
"Are you ok? You dropped pretty fast?"
"I was caught off guard, I didn't think I would get hit in the shoulder, but I've been shot in worse places."
"Yea, me too."
They both laughed.
Buffy heard what sounded like a thousand footsteps running towards them. Seconds later, Kyle, Faith, Xander, Spike, Cordelia, and Dru appeared. Faith and Kyle ran to Buffy and Angel.
Faith dropped to Angel's side, "What the hell happened?!"
Buffy looked at Jack, "Long story short, Jack tried to kill...us, but he didn't get that far."
Kyle looked at Jack, "Stupid son-of-a-Bitch."
Buffy saw Xander and Spike pull guns out of their back pockets, "How do you guys keep coming up with these guns? They appear out of nowhere!"
Xander pointed the gun at Jack's head, "Let's kill the fucker and get this over with."
Spike pointed his gun at Jack too, "Good idea."
Cordelia and Dru stepped in.
Cordelia put her hand on Xander's gun, "Baby, don't do it. You guys will only make it worse. You know what will happen if you kill him. Just calm down, and back off."
Dru stepped in front of Spike, "Don't do it Spike. She's right; you'll only make it worse."
Cordelia smiled at Xander, "Put it down, it's ok."
Xander looked at Cordelia, for a moment, then finally put the gun down, "The things I do for you."
Cordelia smiled and kissed Xander.
The four of them left Jack on the ground and went to help Angel.
Kyle saw his shoulder, "We heard the gun shot, what happened?"
Angel held the shirt on his shoulder, "Buffy and I were talking and then Jack came out of nowhere. I didn't even hear him coming! Anyway, he had his gun and he was bitching about Buffy and how he was never gonna get her alone, then he shot at her. Obviously, it missed her and hit me."
Faith smiled, "Well, what happened to Jack?"
Angel smiled back, "Buffy."
Everyone looked at her, "I take kick boxing classes." Was all she said.
They all grinned at her.
Faith chuckled, "Way to go B."
Kyle and Xander slowly helped Angel get up, "Come on, another god damn bullet to get rid of. What is it with this family?" Kyle tried to hide a smile, but couldn't; neither could anyone else.
Xander looked at Buffy, "Come on, you aren't walking home alone." He looked at Angel, then back at Buffy and decided to take the opportunity, "Why don't you come back with us," he whispered in her ear, "I know Angel would like that."
Buffy thought for a second, but Faith decided for her, she grabbed Buffy's hand, "Come on B, keep me company."
Without an argument, Buffy followed everyone back to Angel's house.
~~~~
When they arrived at Angel's house, everyone, including Buffy, looked pretty tired. Everyone made sure that Angel and Buffy were ok, then Xander and Dru went home, and Cordelia and Spike went to bed. Buffy watched Kyle and Faith remove the bullet from Angel's shoulder, "How do you do that?"
Kyle smiled, "Unfortunately, we've all had a lot of practice. It's a wonder none of us have been killed yet."
Faith held a rag around Angel's arm, "The one and only time...so far...that I got shot, was in the stomach. It was touch-and-go for a while. I lost so much blood, I did have to go to the hospital, after I was patched up and such, I snuck out an emergency door and got away. They don't have any of our names, or money and we like it that way. I don't trust hospitals. The doctor who stitched me up, tired to kill me. He was drunk as a damn skunk and he stuck the stitching needle thingy too far into my stomach and almost punctured my spleen. Stupid asshole; I don't like hospitals."
Buffy couldn't help but chuckle, "Sounds like it."
The whole time Angel was sitting there, he never flinched, he just starred at Buffy. She could see a few tears well up in his eyes. It must have hurt like a bitch. Luckily, Buffy had been out when they "operated on her." After Faith and Kyle were finished, Kyle went to bed and Faith put a bandage around Angel's shoulder, gave him a hug and went to tend to Buffy.
"Go you want me to take you home?" Faith asked.
"Are you sure? You look pretty beat."
"No sweat. But if you want to stay here, you're more than welcome to, and I could take you home in the morning."
"Are you sure?"
Faith smiled, "Totally. I'll put some blankets and stuff on the chair in my room. When you're ready, come up and make a bed on the floor. If you want to, you can sleep on the couch down here."
"The floor is fine. I'll be up in a sec."
"Ok."
Faith smiled at Buffy, then went upstairs.
Buffy went to Angel's room and knocked on the door.
"Yea."
Buffy opened the door and peeked in; she saw Angel laying on his bed, holding his arm a little, "Can I come in for a sec?"
"Yea."
Buffy went in and stood by the door, "I just wanted to..."
Angel grinned, "You can come closer, I won't bite; sit there." He pointed to a chair that was by his bed.
Buffy went all the way in and sat on the chair, "I just wanted to thank you."
"For what?"
"Saving my life...again." She smiled.
Angel didn't, "I'm sorry you have to get involved in all this crap."
"I'm kinda not. If I hadn't I wouldn't know any of you guys. Angel, you have a great family and great friends. Do you know how lucky you are?"
"Yea, I know." He smiled.
Buffy smiled back, "Well, I'm sleeping on Faith's floor tonight. Giles would probably have a coronary if I came home at this hour. So, I guess I'll see you in the morning."
Angel smiled again, "Yep, I guess so."
"Thank you." She gave him a shy smile, leaned real close to him like she was going to kiss him, but instead kissed him on the cheek, then quickly exited the room.
When she kissed his cheek, Angel could smell her hair; he loved that smell. He laid there, thinking about various things, mostly Buffy, for the rest of the night.

**Note** - I know NOTHING about guns, so I'm just gonna stick with the word guns, instead of .45 or whatever, even though I sound like a 3 year old, cuz I don't know what I'm talking about. :oP
