AN: Sorry I haven't updated in such a long time. My sisters fiancé decided to take the hard drive, which had all of my work on it, without asking me if I needed to save anything and put in a new one. He said he doesn't have the time to put the old one back so I can save everything on disc, so I had to rewrite everything.
Buffy raced into her room and slammed the door. She leaned back against the closed door, breathing heavily.
"Oh my God, oh my God! I kissed Spike!"
Just then there was a knock on the door.
"Buffy?" Dawn called. "Buffy, are you alright?"
"Yeah," Buffy called back.
"Well, you just ran straight into your room and slammed the door..."
"I'm fine, Dawn," Buffy interrupted.
"Okay," Dawn said, knowing that Buffy was far from fine. Are you ready, cause we have to be at the Magic Box in ten minutes. Scooby meeting remember?" Dawn said.
"Oh…I forgot about that," Buffy groaned. "Just give me a minute."
Buffy heard Dawn walking back down the stairs. She sat on her bed and put her head in her hands. She had no idea what she was doing. Things were just getting too complicated. She had kissed Spike and she had enjoyed it. Now she just felt ashamed and horrified. But most of all she felt scared. Not of him, but of herself and what she was feeling. She didn't want to have feelings for Spike. She wasn't supposed to have feelings for Spike. He was a vampire and she was the Slayer. But even that excuse was getting old. He didn't act like a vampire.
She got up of the bed and walked over to her dresser. She ran her hands through her hair a few times, then went downstairs to meet Dawn.
***
The first thing Buffy saw when she walked into the Magic Box with Dawn was Spike. He was sitting on the stairs that led to the loft.
"Hey Spike," Dawn said, as she sat down at the table with the rest of the gang.
"Hey Nibblet."
Buffy followed Dawn and sat down at the table, avoiding looking at Spike.
"So, what's happening?" Buffy asked.
"Well, we may have found a way to stop Glory," Willow started excitedly.
"Yes, apparently the Council haven't given us everything about Glory. I got this book from an old friend of mine," Giles said, gesturing to a large book in front of him.
"Is there anything new?" Buffy asked.
"Well, it appears there is a way to defeat her. According to this book, Glory was cast out of one of the more unpleasant demon dimensions by her fellow rulers. She was trapped in the body of a mortal boy. But her power was too great to be completely contained. She's found a way to escape her mortal prison ... for brief periods, before her energies are exhausted and she's forced back ... into her living cell of meat and bone."
"Does it say who the boy is?" Buffy asked.
"Unfortunately not."
Buffy sighed. Every time she saw a glimmer of hope, it was snatched away again.
"I need to train," Buffy said suddenly, getting up. "Call me if you find anything else."
Spike watched Buffy walk past him into the training room. He could tell she was nervous around him. The way she avoided looking at him made it obvious.
"I need a smoke," he said. Everyone nodded and went back to their research.
Instead of going out the back door, Spike turned and walked into the training room. Buffy was in front of the punching bag, alternating between punches and kicks.
Buffy sensed someone watching her and looked up. She saw Spike standing at the door watching her.
"We need to talk," Spike said.
Buffy sighed. "What is it with you and talking. Honestly, you're like a girl. Always wanting to talk about everything."
"We kissed Buffy," Spike said exasperatedly.
"So?" Buffy said. "It didn't mean anything."
"How long are you gonna keep this act up?" Spike asked, annoyed. "How long are you gonna keep lying to yourself, that there's something between us?"
"I can't listen to this," Buffy said. She tried to walk past Spike, but he grabbed her and turned her to face him.
"There's something between us, Buffy. I know you feel it."
"Do you ever shut up?"
"Damn it, Buffy! Why do you always have to…"
Buffy leaned up and crushed her lips to Spike's. I didn't take long for Spike to respond. Buffy wrapped her arms around Spike's neck and deepened the kiss. Spike wrapped his arms around her back and pressed her hard against him and Buffy moaned.
Just then, a voice called out from the main room. "Buffy, we may have an idea." Giles called.
Buffy jumped back from Spike and hurriedly straightened her clothes.
"We still need to talk, Buffy," Spike reminded her.
Buffy sighed again. "Will it shut you up?"
"Yes,"
"I'll come by your crypt tomorrow night. We can patrol."
"Fine."
"So, what have you found," Buffy said, sitting back down at the table.
"We found a spell that can extract the key from Dawn," Giles said. "It's very complicated though and it might take some time."
"Well, that's good," Buffy said. That'll stop Glory from coming after Dawn, but she'll still want the key."
"To destroy the key while it's still in Dawn would mean we'd have to kill her, but if we extract the key we may be able to destroy the key on it's own."
"So, when can we start?" Buffy asked.
"Like I said, this spell is very complicated."
"We can do it," Willow said gesturing to herself and Tara.
"But you may not be powerful enough for a spell this advanced." Giles said.
"Sure they are," Xander said enthusiastically.
"Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt for you to try," Giles said, giving in.
"What do we need?" Willow asked.
