Author's Note: The title of this chapter sucks, I know. The worst fact about this is: analyzing the title of this chapter makes me cry. I know, I'm a very strange person, 'cause I also cried when Buffy "dumped" Spike in 'As You Were'.

Chapter 3: Demon or Man?
~Buffy walked through the cemetery, it felt strange somehow though. She walked right to Spike's old crypt, she couldn't figure out why. When she opened the door, he was there.
"I new you'd be here soon," he said to her with a smile.
The Slayer looked around and wondered why he was here, and why the crypt looked like it did before she blew it up. "What's going on?"
His sapphire eyes looked deeply into hers and that's when she realized it, this wasn't Spike, it was William.
"What the-" she said as she stared at this man, not demon, that she didn't think she had known as what he was in this form, but felt as though she still knew him better than herself.
Before Buffy could really say anything, he had two fingers covering her lips to keep her from doing just that. "Follow me," he instructed and pulled his fingers away.
The Slayer did as she was told and followed William down the ladder to the lower level of 'his' crypt. What she saw made her feel happy...but like a horrible person, too.
She saw herself and Spike. They had only used the bed a couple of times last year during their sexcapades, and what she was watching was one of those times.
Spike thrust into her and she heard herself moan his name. It was odd to be watching this for Buffy, but she remembered all the feelings it had brought her then...and how she felt about him now.
She watched as Spike continued thrusting into Buffy, then she saw herself role them over and ride him until the vampire and her doppleganger both cried out and she collapsed on his chest for a moment.
The Buffy watching this saw the tenderness she hadn't noticed Spike show before...because before, she hadn't wanted to notice. She turned towards William and asked, "Why did I see this?"
He looked into her eyes and answered, "You have to decide Buffy," the scene changed to Spike killing his first Slayer, then to William the Bloody Awful Poet crying sfter his heart was broken. Then, the human Spike continued, "Am I demon or man?"~
Buffy woke up with a start, his question still replaying in her mind, 'Demon or man?'
She ran to Xander's apartment and knocked on the door. She knew it was still early in the morning, but this was important.
Xander groggily opened the door to be greeted by a very awake Slayer. "Hey, Buffy."
"Hi, Xander. Is Spike home?" she asked quickly.
Her friend nodded, then she hurried off to Spike's room. Xander just closed the door and stared after her.
Buffy knocked a couple times and Spike answered, "What is it now, Harris?"
The Slayer turned the knob and pushed the door open, "I'm not Xander," she then closed the door behind her. He smiled at her, happy to see his love, but not remembering why he couldn't look her in the eye, he just knew that he couldn't.
"Spike?" she asked, "Why are you avoiding my eyes?" She had seen that quickly, something was different.
He still didn't look into her hazel eyes, but replied, "I don't know, Buffy, but I know that's not why you came here. So, why did you come here?"
She finally got her eyes to make contact with his and he saw a flash of a memory from the night before, but brushed it off. "I had a dream tonight." He looked at her, his eyes questioning the importance of this and she spoke again, "It asked me something and I need the answer to, because I'm not sure yet."
Spike looked at her hard, "What was the question?"
"Demon or man."
"What?" he asked.
Buffy fidgeted, "Whether I think you're demon or man."
