Author's Notes: This is my first Buffy fic. And please bear with me, it will be Spuffy in later chapters…I promise. Also, this is my first Spuffy fic. Takes place after Lover's Walk. Also, I don't write Buffy fics all that well, but this was bugging me so I went ahead and tried to write it.

Summary: Buffy is heading home from the Bronze one night when she battles against two strange demons to save the life of a young girl. She is hit in the head and suffers from amensia. While the Scooby gang tries to return her memory, Spike returns to Sunnydale. He finds the Slayer without her memory, he sets out to destroy her, only to find himself seducing her and falling love with her…

First Chance

"Hey! That so a illegal move!" yelled a man, dodging the knee of a small blonde. He charged her and yelled as she grasped his arm and flipped him neatly over her shoulder into a pile of boxes. He growled and his eyes flashed yellow as he caught sight of the stake in the girl's hand, "So you're the Slayer." He laughed, "I would have expected someone bigger."

The blonde gave him a dry and twisted away from his hand as it swung out towards her face, "Well you know what they say, big things come in small packages."

"That was a good one Buffster." called a boy from along a wall outside the club, The Bronze. She flashed him and the redhead girl beside him a quick grin.

The vamp charged again and Buffy Summers pivoted and jabbed out with her stake hand, hitting him in the back. Shocked reflected in his eyes as his body slowly turned into dust and crumbled to the floor. Buffy wiped her hands on her jeans and turned back to her friends.

The redhead stepped forward, sidestepping the pile of dust. She was wearing brown overalls and a cream colored shirt. The boy quickly joined her, dark hair framing his dark eyes. They moved up on either side of her and Buffy rested a arm on their shoulders and they walked away from the Bronze.

The guy playfully punched her in the shoulder, "Easy slay there Buffy."

"Yeah Xander, almost too easy." she said as they exited the alley.

Willow looked at her, amused, "Your complaining?"

Buffy quickly shook her head, "No, but I bet Giles will find something wrong…"

Xander looked at her dryly, "Giles always finds something wrong with anything." He paused, "And yet he seems so happy about it."

Both girls giggled at Xander's remark. Librarian Rupert Giles rarely seemed happy about anything, especially after Ms. Calender's death. Even months later, he mourned for her, his grief no long raw but still showing, especially when he trained Buffy. He pushed the senior, claiming that even though Angelus and Spike were gone, that something new was going to happen. He could feel it in his bones. So Giles spent most of his time in the library, researching prophecies.

Willow, still feeling remorse over her forbidden kiss with Xander, spent all the time she could with Oz. Xander had finally given up on trying to get Cordelia back. She showed no interest in hooking up again, ingoring his every attempt of reconcile. Buffy was still hurting for Angel, even though he had returned but they could never be. She rarely dated, throwing herself into school work and training and spending time with her mother.

"So Bronzing it tonight?" asked Xander.

Buffy twirled a stake between her fingers, "Nope. Have to report to Giles, then it is the mom thing."

"I think that its sweet that you and your mother have the whole bond-y thing." remarked Willow, adjusting the strap to her overalls.

"Yeah-goes to show that I have no life." said Buffy, almost mournfully.

A voice came to the shadows, "Of course you don't have a life. Look at who you hang out with."

They looked up and saw Cordelia Chase. She was flanked by her friends and was wearing a red miniskirt with a black halter top, baring her tanned midriff. Her dark hair fell in soft waves around her face, "Gee Buffy, where do you shop? Loser.com?"

Buffy looked down at her hip hugging jeans and simple black tee. She wasn't partying so it was a relax night for her. She ran a appraising eye over Cordy's outfit and responded, "As oppesed to shopping at Skank USA like you?"

She, Willow, and Xander pushed past the tall girl and her bimbo friends before she could respond. Cordelia stared after them, her mouth opened in a silent retort. The three had almost reached the school grounds when they heard the first scream. Two more followed in quick succession. After a quick look between them, they took off running towards the screams.

Buffy skidded to a stop and threw up her arms causing Willow and Xander to come to a abrupt stop. Two unrecognizable demons were circling a young girl. Terror filled the girl's honey brown eyes as she saw the three. "Help me!" she screamed as one of the demons lashed out with a clawed hand.

Buffy snapped into action, launching herself at the two, hands and legs flying, knocking the demons them to the ground several feet from the girl. Buffy faced the two demons and took a defensive stance and yelled over her shoulder,

"Get her out of here! I'll take of the demony duo."

Xander and Willow nodded and rushed forward, grabbing the girl and hauling ass out of there. Buffy watched them leaving before turning her attention back to the demons, who were rising to their feet. They were tall, nearly six feet in height. The were covered in purplish-blue scales, two small horns protruding above glowing white eyes. Muscles bulged under their scaly skin as they circled around the small slayer.

"Now would be a good time for Faith to show up." she muttered, watching the two new demons. The one on the right lunged and she bent back, avoiding the punch. She followed that with a back flip, barely missed being kicked by the second's low kick. She lashed out with a right jab swiftly switching to a high kick, ending a demon back into a wall, leaving a dent. He…she…it laid there stunned while its companion roared and charged.

Punches and kicks were aimed at the Slayer and she blocked each one. She launched a flurry of attacks, punches landing on chests and kicks across the knees. One fist got through and a hard uppercut snapped her head backwards splitting her lip. Buffy wiped the blood away with the back of her fist and jumped, kicking out as she fell to the ground. A dagger appeared from her boot and she stabbed high as the demon rose, burying it in its chest.

She yanked the blade out and wiped it on her pant leg, turning to the other demon, only to find it gone. She whirled in a circle, searching for it but not seeing it anywhere. Then she hit the ground hard, her breath knocked out of her. And as she laid there, struggling to suck in a breath, the next blow came from behind. A piece of steel cracked against her skull rendering her unconscious. The demon stood over her, its claws extending and it was about to burying them deep in her back when it heard voices. Hesitating only briefly, it turned and fled just as Xander came into view.

Xander saw Buffy's limp body on the ground and rushed forward. He rolled her over gently and felt along the base of her skull, feeling a fist size lump. He knew that it didn't kill her and that her Slayer healing would kick in, but he was still worried.

"This cant be a good thing." he muttered as he lifted the Slayer in his arms and carried her to the library. He kicked the double doors open, feeling a bit like a hero rescuing the damsel in distress and had to grin. Willow cried out and Giles' head jerked up at her outburst. Seeing the unconscious slayer in the boy's arms, he quickly cleared a space on the table and gestured to Xander, "Put her here and lets see what we can do."

"Found her where we left her and a dead demon beside her. Looks like the other got away. But not until knocking Buffy out." he said, gently laying the girl on the now bare table, "There's a pretty good size lump on the back of her head. Saw a pipe lying next to her."

"What, now demons are getting thugs to do their dirty work?" asked Willow, running her hand over the back of Buffy's head, feeling the knot.

Giles cleared his throat and mocked Willow's movements, "Its highly probable that the demon did not want to join its friend and resorted to human ways of killing."

Willow's eyes widen at his words, "Kill? She isn't dead is she?"

"No she just has a lump. See she is already stirring." said Giles with a small smile, watching as Buffy's eyes began to flutter. Soon they were open completely, focusing slowly on the three figures that gathered around her. Her voice was thick and full of panic as she looked around the room.

And much to their amazment she asked two questions that they didn't expect and it reflected in their wide eyes, "Who are you? Where am I?"
