Intervention Redux

Chapter 5

AN: Sorry it's taken so long to update. I've been busy with uni and writing other stories and I lamost forgot about this one.

Buffy walked through the cemetery, heading for Spike's crypt. She had no idea what she was going to say to him. Everything was just so confusing.

Suddenly she stopped and tensed. She could sense someone behind her and she spun around.

"Slayer," Spike said with his trademark smirk. "Bit jumpy tonight, aren't you?"

"God, Spike. Why do you always have to sneak up on people?" Buffy asked angrily.

"I wasn't sneaking, I saw ou patrolling so I decided to join you."

"Whatever," Buffy said exasperated.

"So, yu up for a bit of grunt work?" Spike asked.

"Whay?!" Buffy exclaimed taking the comment the wrong way. "No…no grunting."

"I was talking shop, luv," Spike said with a smirk. "But if you have other ideas…" He leaned forward, his face inches from hers. "We could go back to my crypt…"

"Ugh, Spike, you're gross," Buffy said, pushing him away.

"So did you come here to patrol or to see me?" he asked.

Buffy's face went red and she looked down. "To patrol," she lied.

"Well, lets go then," Spike said grabbing her arm and pulling her off.

Ten minutes later they paused by a large tree. There was a group of four vampires standing by a crypt on the edge of the cemetery.

"So, party time?" Buffy asked glancing up at Spike.

"I guess so," Spike said and they lunged forward.

Buffy dusted the first one easily, but she was having more trouble with the secong larger one. Spike was occupied by the other two, but he could shee that she was having trouble.

He managed to dust the two he was fighting and turned his attention to Buffy. She was lying on her back with the vamp hovering over her, his hands wrapped tightly around her throat. She was trying desperately to push him off. Spike lunged forward and grabbed the vamp by the neck. He picked him up and threw him over his head.

Buffy sat up, a little dazed and managed to get back on her feet. The vampire got up and lunged for Buffy again, but Spike grabbed him by the arm, spun him around and staked him.

"Why did you do that?!" Buffy asked angrily. "I could've taken him."

"You needed help," Spike said. "I helped you.

"I don't need your help. I was doing just fine without you. Why do you always have to-"

"Look Buffy, I've had enough of this," Spike interrupted angrily. I save your life and this is the thanks I get. Why don't you just go patrol on your own if you think you can handle it yourself and just leave me out of it."

He turned around and started to walk off, but he was suddenly pulled back by Buffy and before he could pull away, her lips were on his and she was pushing him up against a tree.

Yeah I know this chapter is really short, but it was getting really long and I had to split it into two. This was the best place to do that. The next part should be up by the weekend if I have time.

Please Review and let me know what you think. I'll give you a cookie if you do;)
