Disclaimer: I own none of the Buffy and Angel Characters sadly enough.
Summery: Buffy disappeared after graduation, now she is a spy and protector. Angel and the gang need protection and she is going to be the one to give it. This is a B/A fic and a little bit of C/A, I know that so many people are into B/S and C/A but I'm sticking to the original.
A/N: Hope you like the story and that you will read my other ones. I don't mind flames, but I really like suggestions. Review.

Title: Buffy the Slayer to Shadow
Chapter: LA
-----------------------------------------------------
California, the state of memories, at least for me anyway. Well now all I have to do is get attacked by vampires near Angel and his gang and see if I will be able to get a job. Not to hard unless Angel senses me. That could ruin everything for me, my new life and walls. Hey this may be easier then I thought, I can sense Angel, he's about a mile from here and there are some vampires coming towards me. I think this is a bad sign if its this easy. Things aren't supposed to be that easy it's a bad sign.
The vampires surround me, there's ten of them and their fairly young. Good just in case Angel doesn't come I want to be able to get out of this situation. When their faces change I scream as loud as I can and prey that Angel will come. Killing even one could blow my cover and I can't have that. The vampires aren't surprised at my screams seeing as how almost all victims scream and they aren't too worried about someone stopping them.
I feel Angel running towards me, and knowing that he will be here soon I do nothing to attack the vampires surrounding me as I would have in the past. Then he come like always when I needed him. In his black coat and powerful presence. I stand there in shock at his presence pretending I'm in shock over the vampire faces.
Gunn, who I remember from the folder I got, has joined in the fight as well as Weasley and Cordelia. I am being pulled off the wall and away from the fight by a girl I recognize as Winifred also known as Fred. Going limply, knowing from the times I had saved people that they were always in shock after seeing the faces of vampires.
"It's ok, we'll explain everything in a bit." She said in a soft voice. Her face shows that she is afraid for those fighting but is confident that they will be able to take them out. I keep silent not sure about what to say or do. I haven't talked to her ever let alone in front of these people that I used to know and who once knew Buffy.
I sometimes think that I am going insane thinking about myself as two different people. The problem is that I no longer think of myself as Buffy because Buffy died along time ago, about the time I became the Slayer. Then I did kind of become the Slayer and now I became Shadow.
I watch with a dispassionate face as Angel gets stabbed by one of the vampires. Inside though my heart screams to help him and not allow him to get hurt or killed. My mind though reminds me of the fact that its Cordelia's job to be that worried about him and that I'm not even supposed to know who he is let alone care about him. That means that I can't drool or even be friends with him. I am so not looking forward to doing this. Why can't I just get shot it would be easier and hurt a whole lot less.
Fred is leading me to the hotel that Angel Investigations is located in. The others are following us into the hotel, breathing hard from the fighting that just took place. I hadn't even realized how close I had been to this place. Well at least I now know why they were so close when I got attacked. Of course I had been lost in thought for most of the walk though.
"Are you okay?" Angel said, bending down in front of me. Behind him the others are looking at me in concern.
"Yea, that was a vampire right? I mean I wasn't just going insane for the last few moments right?" I say in a breathless tone because he's here right in front of me and it's been so long. Doesn't matter what my head says, my heart and body continue to demand that I jump in his arms and kiss him. They recognize their lover, their mate. I hate my life.
Angel, Cordelia, and Weasley are staring at me, and I know that although I look almost nothing like the girl they once knew that there was at least one part that they have to recognize. Especially Angel, there was a time when he could track my scent, when he knew it better then anyones. Now it's probably Cordelia's scent he knows the best not mine. Mine is the past for him now, or maybe not even that. Putting on a mask to make me seem weak and frightened.
Knowing that I needed to start working for Angel Investigations I started to cry, needing to seem pathetic and alone. The group stared down at me before Angel who was still kneeling before me asked what was wrong. Making up a lie about having already gotten mugged, I told them a story about not having anyone all the while crying. It felt so good to cry in front of him even if he didn't know who I was, he was my release my heart and soul.
"Seeing as how you do know about vampires, would you like to work for us. I own a detective agency, it's housed in a hotel and there are plenty of rooms. You can help with the filing and we'll teach you how to fight a little bit, how does that sound?" Angel asked me.
"That sounds really nice, but do you mind?" I asked.
"No, it'll be good to have someone to help out. Although I have a question, do you have a name?" Cordelia asked.
"Katherine O'Conner, what are your names?" I saw Angel flinch at the name, it used to be his sister's name before he killed her. I wonder if it hurt her as much as this is hurting me now. Pushing all of my emotions down to be examined and gotten rid of later, I looked up as they gave me their names all of which I had already met once before even if for only a few minutes. They led me back to the hotel with them where they gave me a room and let me sleep.
