(Sorry it took me so long to update kind of been busy doing other stuff.)
Angel's POV
"Whoa you like me!" Buffy yelled at Spike.
"Did I say that out loud." Spike looked away.
"Guys! Rain needs help!" I yelled.
"Ok you're right we'll deal with her first." Buffy walked over to Giles who was looking at a book.
"So what does he have to do?" Wil asked.
"He has to sacrifice himself." Buffy looked at us.
"I have to do what!"
"No way!" I yelled.
Buffy grabbed my arm and pulled me into the kitchen. "He doesn't really have to kill himself it's just to prove if he loves her or not."
"You're serious."
"Yeah look I'll pull the knife away before he hurts himself."
"All right." We went back to the couch. "Connor do it." I looked away.
"Dad! If I kill myself and I don't love her then we'll both die!"
"Just do it!" I turned angry.
Buffy handed him a knife and stood behind him. He pulled the knife straight ahead and pointed it at his heart, tears streaked his eyes when he looked at me. " I love you dad." He turned hid back to the couch where Rain lay. I nodded at Buffy she pulled the knife out of Connor's hands.
"What are you doing?" Xander stood up.
"He doesn't have to kill himself I just needed to prove that he loved her."
Conner glared at me. "You lied!"
"Chill out Connor." Buffy touched his shoulder.
"Chill out! I almost died because of you."
"Conner if it makes you feel better all you have to do is kill a vamp and say it's for Rain and ever lasting love."
"Really? It sounds weird."
"I know but that's what you have to do."
"Ok so who's coming with me?"
"I will." Spike volunteered.
"All right let's go."
Connor's POV
I almost killed myself for that girl! But I love her and I didn't know that ill know. Maybe she isn't a witch after all.
"Hey there's a vamp right there." Spike pointed at a figure sitting on a curb.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I know him."
"Ok I'm up for it." I walked towards the figure. "Hey you! Want to play a game?" I asked.
"What's that kid?" He snarled.
"It's called slay the vamp?"
"You're on."
He jumped up and tackled me, I pulled out my stake and put it in his heart. "This is for Rain Summers and ever lasting love."
He glowed and turned to dust. Wind blew the dust off as I stood up. I heard a girl's voice and turned around. No one was there, I looked to where Spike had been standing no one was there. I then noticed it was pitch black except where I was standing.
"Hello? Anyone there?"
"Connor?" Rain's voice rang.
"Rain you're ok?"
"Yeah thanks to you." She looked different she was wearing a dress and kind of glowed like I was dreaming. "What's wrong?" She touched my face.
"Nothing is this real?"
"Kind of and kind of not. We both know about it but more like a dream."
"O, so why is it happening?"
"You love me it's special."
"Connor wake up." I heard Spike's voice.
"Spike want you back to the real world." I closed my eyes and opened to see Spike.
"Come on boy get up!"
"She's ok!"
"We'll see."
He helped me up and walked back to Giles. I opened the door just as Rain's head shot up from the couch.
"You did it!" Buffy smiled.
"What happened? Who did what?" Rain looked confused.
"It's a long story love." Spike smiled.
"Ok tell me later I'm beat."
"Rain I'm sorry for what I said." I sat down next to her.
"Me too. You're not a jerk faced creep." She nudged me.
"Thanks!" I laughed.
"He saves her life and she doesn't even know." Xander said smiling. "Please don't tell me I said that out loud."
"You didn't." Wil smiled while trying to hold back a laugh.
"What are you talking about?" Rain looked at him.
"Nothing he's just playing around." I touched her hand.
"How come I feel like your lying?" She raised her eyebrow.
"I don't know I'm not."
"Yeah sure and this comes from the guy who almost killed my crush." She smiled.
I swallowed hard that hurt. I pulled my hand away and put my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands. "Yeah sorry about that too." I sighed.
"OK back to earlier." My dad turned to Spike.
"What about it?"
"You like Buffy?" My dad shifted in his seat.
"Your point Angel!" Spike stood up.
"I was just wondering!"
"I'm standing right here!" Buffy looked at my dad.
"Sorry love didn't notice you there." Spike smiled.
"Very funny."
"Connor can I talk to you in the kitchen?" Spike pleaded with me.
"Yeah whatever." I stood up slowly.
"Look I'm sorry about Rain having a crush but you have to take the heat off me."
"How?" I pulled my hand through my hair.
"I don't know. Bloody hell fake sick if you have too."
"What are you going to do for me?"
"I'll put in a few good words to Rain about you."
"A few?"
"Ok a lot."
"You got a deal." I shook his hand.
I sat back down by Rain She smiled slightly and turned her head towards Spike. "Are you going to tell us what you were talking about earlier?" My dad sifted again.
Spike looked at me. "Of course I will..."
"Ow... dad my head hurts." I grabbed my head.
"Are you ok Connor?" Rain touched my head.
"No it really hurts."
My dad came over to me. " Connor do you need Asprin?"
"Probably I also probably should lie down."
"Maybe you should the boy to the hotel." Spike sat down.
Rain's POV
I looked at Spike then back to Connor. Something fishy was going on here.
"I'm sure he could just lay on the couch." I stood up.
"How about it Connor?" Angel kneeled down.
"I would prefer to go to the hotel."
"Bloody hell Angel take your boy to the hotel and let him get some rest."
Angel stood quickly. "Don't you tell me what to do with my son!"
I sifted my weight onto my back foot. "Dad you're scaring Rain." Connor touched Angel's arm.
"I'm not scared!" I glared.
"Then how come you sifted back?" Connor asked quietly.
"I was uncomfortable! Not scared!"
"Why are you yelling at me?" Connor looked away.
"You're pissing me off!"
"I thought me loving you was special." Connor stood up.
"Wait how did you know about that?"
"I was there!"
"Connor stop yelling!" Angel grew angry.
Out of my fear I grabbed Connor's hand tightly. "Now are you scared?" Connor smiled.
"No I thought you would be." I smiled pulling my hand away.
"Me scared? Please."
"Connor don't start." Angel had anger in his voice.
Connor looked innocently at Angel. "Angel why are you getting mad at Connor?" B asked.
"Keep out of this Buffy!" Angel turned and looked at her.
I couldn't hold it I grabbed Connor's hand again. He squeezed my hand. "Hey watch it!" Spike stood up.
"You're the reason I'm mad!"
"Me? Why? What did I do?"
"You told Connor to fake sick!" I scooted closer to Connor.
"Angel please you're scaring everyone." Wil stood up.
"Keep out of this!" Angel yelled.
"Come on Angel. Everything is ok." Xander tried to laugh.
"Look whoever says the next thing is going to get seriously hurt!"
"Angel?" I asked softly.
"What!" He turned around.
"Please stop yelling." I rubbed Connor's knuckle with my thumb.
"Rain please be quiet!" He turned back to Spike.
"Bloody hell man she's only 13!"
"You better be quiet before I knock you're head off!"
Connor pulled me closer. "Don't be scared." He whispered.
I bit my bottom lip and squeezed his hand.
Connor's POV
We all sat their quietly not want to move because of my dad. Our silence was disturbed by a knock. Giles opened the door, Rain dropped my hand and ran over tot he young man.
"What's wrong Justin?"
"Nothing Rain everything's fine. Mom wants me to take you home."
"O, ok don't scare me like that."
"Sorry I didn't mean too."
"Justin that's Connor, Connor this is my brother Justin."
"You!" The next thing I knew Justin was on top of me. "How dare you hit my sister!" He punched me across the face.
"Justin Anthony Summers!" Justin was pulled off me. Xander and Spike were holding him. Rain kneeled down next to me. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah how many brothers do you have?"
"Four all older why?"
"They aren't all going to him me are they?"
"No Justin didn't even have a right too."
"My ass I didn't that punk hit you when I find out who this Spike dude is I'm going to kick his ass too!"
"No you won't!" Rain and Spike yelled in unison.
"Who the hell are you?" Justin looked at Spike.
"William but my friends call me Spike." He smiled.
"You asshole! You hurt my sisters knee!" Justin ripped his arm away from Spike and slugged him with it.
"Bloody hell! It was an accident!" Spike face turned into vampire form.
Justin stepped back. "He can't hurt you." Buffy said quietly.
"You're lucky boy."
"Rain lets go!" Justin grabbed her arm.
"I'm not done yet though." She pulled back.
"Mom wants you now!"
"Justin, Xander will take me home!" She pulled away and clutched my hand.
Rain's POV
I grabbed Connor's hand and pulled him towards the door. I opened the door and ran letting go of Connor's hand. Tears streaming down my face I stopped when I reached the graveyard. I sat on a tombstone. I can't fall in love with Connor it wouldn't last. I heard footsteps and looked up pulling my stake out.
"Chill love it's only me." Spike jumped up next to me lighting a cigarette. I wiped my tear away and looked away from Spike. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing just... never mind you wouldn't understand."
"Try me."
"Well when I found out about the whole slayer thing I promised not to all in love with anyone." I looked at him tear rolling down my cheeks.
"That's hard not to do."
"I know no matter what I do my heart aches when I picture Connor with my best friend but I know they would make the perfect couple."
"Connor may not want to be with your friend. He wants someone who is tuff, challenging, nice, beautiful, and a chick who can kick some ass."
"That's not me I'm not beautiful."
"Rain you're beautiful."
"Spike you sound like my mom."
"Me? O, Bloody hell now I sound like a mom."
"It's ok. So about you and Buffy?"
"What about it?"
"You should tell her before it's to late."
"She could never love me."
"Sure she could." I jumped up.
"So about you and Connor?"
"There is no Connor and me." I looked at him.
"Then there's no Buffy and me."
"Spike why do you even stay here?"
"I want too."
"If I could I would leave an never come back."
"Why would you do that?"
"I just don't like it here."
"You mean you don't want to hurt Connor?"
"Yeah that too."
"Rain he likes you. You can't leave the heart broken."
"It's not like I want too it's just it would never work."
"Why not?'
"We would fight too much."
"That happens but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work."
"Rain are you ok?" Connor walked up to us.
"You shouldn't be out here." I jumped back onto the tombstone.
"I'm fine." 'I know you are.' I thought and smiled. "What?" He looked behind him.
"Nothing Spike and I were just talking."
"Why did you run?"
"It's complicated." I looked down.
"What is?"
"Us." I jumped and ran avoiding bushes and tombstones.
"Rain stop!" Connor yelled. I stopped and turned around, I wanted to break down and cry but something stopped me. Connor ran up to me our of breath. "What... about... us?" He asked.
"Everything! You, me just don't mix right."
"Yeah we do we're up for a challenge and believe me our relationship will be."
"I don't want it to be!"
"Could we discuss this somewhere else?" He looked around.
"Yeah I guess." I sighed.
(So what did you think? Is Rain up for another challenge? Review to find out.)
