Chapter 3: Lost and Found

Rating: PG-13 (just to be on the safe side)

Pairings: um I don't know if I want to tell u all...

(A/N: I am not really sure how Spike became human, but I will think up something and add it here..is that okay with everyone? Anyways, same thing from the first two chapters applies here, okay? Oh! ** means they are thinking!)

He didn't want to talk to her, but it was like this un-known force pulled him to her. "What are you doing here?" he asked angrily as if she were invading his territory.

"I came to see you, my lover. Why? Do you not want me here?" her singsong voice drove Spike insane. He slapped her hard across the face. She screamed with anger and took his neck in her hand, "I have no trouble turning you back into what you really are, my love."

"That would be hard to do since Red made sure my soul was permanent." Spike said removing her delicate hand from him.

"Don't touch me you..you human!" She exploded at him. "I knew there was something wrong with you from the minute the pain seared in my head. I saw all the little stars forming, and they were giving me a sign." She looked to the sky as if it were doing what she said. She staggered falling back into Spike's arms.

"Dru, the demon in me will always love you, but now that I am human, your nonsense words and confusing actions are not what I want. Buffy is what I want, and I am hoping that you will leave before she finds out you were here." Spike said walking into the sun.

"I bet you didn't even know Angelus was back did you?" she hissed venomously. "He will come for your little sun-goddess, and when he kills her, I will laugh in your face." She walked off into the shadows, Spike followed her, but she disappeared without a trace.

He didn't believe what she said, because the demon would have felt Angelus' return, and he also would sense his presence in Sunnydale. He headed to Willy's which is where he was going in the first place, he had a feeling that he would be seeing more of Drusilla, and didn't want to take his chances.

"Oh...spike what business can do for you? Do you need information, because I don't have any..and, and, what are you doing here?" his babbling only caused Spike to get even madder at the situation at hand.

"Guess what...I need a job, and I knew you were just the boy to go to!" Spike said smiling.

Meanwhile

Buffy just kept getting more and more worried. *I'll look for a note, maybe he left me a note.* So off she went and into the kitchen, good thing Dawn was at Jenny's house for the night because she wouldn't want her little sister seeing her in this state. *A NOTE!!! HE HAD TO LEAVE ME A NOTE!* At last she found it, the note and it read: Slayer- I am gaoing gouing gonna find a job I hope you undarstend. -Spike

Buffy giggled quietly at Spike's attempt to spell the words. She set the piece of paper down, and decided to call Dawn, and tell her that Spike was okay, and that he was just going to find a job. "Hello this is Buffy, Dawn's older sister can I speak to her please? (pause) She said they were spending the night at our house?" *Oh no! I have to find Spike, I don't know what Dawn could be getting herself into this time!*

Back up town...

Spike is finally heading back home after a hard day, and a run in with Drusilla. He decides that he shouldn't tell Buffy about his run in with Dru, it would just upset her and that is all but what he needs.

Still needing a job, after him almost killing Willy. If he couldn't stand being with the guy for 2 minutes let alone having to work with him all day.

Just then he saw a woman walking down the street with a bunch of dogs, and he walked up to herm "Hello Ma'am, would you be needing some help with your dogs?"

She smiled kindly, "As a matter of fact young man, I do need some help. Would you like to be my dog-walker?"

Spike's heart jumped for joy *I have a job!* "Yes, Ma'am I would love to be your dog-walker. If you would write down your address, and everything I would be happy to start tomorrow, or whenever you need me."

The lady wrote feverishly, and handed the piece of paper to Spike, "Here, come in tomorrow at the time assigned..Oh and thank you sir." She shook his hand, and headed off down the road.

He started skipping down the road. *Wait, what in the hell am I doing? I just got a job walking dogs, why am I skipping? Oh my god! I lost my bloody mind!* He walked home, and was surprised to see no lights on in the house. "Something must have happened, oh man, we shouldn't have fought!"

Inside he found the note Buffy. "I knew it! I got to help them!"

TBC....

(A/N: What about his job? That's what you all are thinking....well, that will come in the nest chapter, but to make it exciting something else has to be happening! You know what I mean? Okay, I hope you enjoyed this chapter....i bet you can't wait for the next one can you?)
