Chap 7

The kiss began to intense. Angel's hands began to roam up Buffy's back, keeping her body close to his. Buffy's small hands wrapped themselves in his thick, dark hair, twirling it between her fingertips.

A growl sounded from deep inside Angel's chest and throat. Buffy's grip instantly broke as she stepped away from the vampire.

"Did you just growl?" A frown appeared across her face.

"No." Angel shrugged off the comment.

"You sure, cause I'm pretty sure that was a growl." Buffy pointed out.

"I can't growl." Angel tried to deny his demon qualities.

"While I'm on the subject of weird.. Why the hell is it so dark in here?" Buffy paced towards the window where thick heavy curtains hung and drew one back, casting a strong beam of light towards where Angel stood.

"NO!" Angel dove out of the way of the light, only smouldering slightly. Buffy didn't seem to notice as she was too busy inspecting the state of the windows. "Have you ever opened these curtains? There's a thick layer of dust covering it! I can hardly see out!" She made a finger print in the thick brown muck.

"What can I say, I like the dark." Angel scrabbled for answers.

"How can you not like the daylight!" Buffy exclaimed.

"Its just light." Angel answered, desperately trying to think of something to change the subject.

Buffy let out a laugh. "Light is everything Angel, nothing can survive without it. It's more important than you or I could ever imagine." Buffy had turned back towards him and was now approaching.

Angel didn't need to think twice about a change of subject this time. He waited for her to reach him so he wouldn't have to step in the light and he caught hold of her, laying a line of kisses across her cheek till her reached her lips.

Buffy placed a finger on his lips just as he reached hers. "I have to go." She whispered into his ear, remembering that she was due for some training. She planted a kiss on his lips and made her way towards the door. "Oh and angel?"

"Yeah?"

"Get them windows cleaned." She winked and disappeared into the daylight, a place where he could not follow.

"Light. So god damn important." Angel sighed, closing the curtain again, avoiding the light.

"Hey Giles" Buffy slumped down onto the sofa next to him. The sun had begun to set in the sky and she knew it was demon time. "You ready for some hunting?" She smiled, obviously enjoying her watcher's expression of disgust. He hated having to patrol with her sometimes, these days it almost always ended with him being unconscious at some point.

"Come on then" He mumbled, standing and walking towards the weapon cabinet. He swung it open and tossed a couple of stakes towards Buffy who easily caught them and then picked up an axe for himself. You never knew when they could come in handy.

The cemetery was its usual moronic self that evening. Angel paced amongst the gravestones, itching for a good fight, at least that way he would get Buffy off his mind for a bit.

A twig snapped behind him. He ducked quickly avoiding a large steel axe from slicing his head off. That was a close one. Angel swung a leg out from beneath himself and caught his attacker off guard, knocking them to the ground.

He stared down at the large brightly coloured demon that lay panting on the grass. Angel smiled down at him, kicking him hard in the chest, easily winding the demon. He saw the axe and picked it up, bringing it down on the demons throat, slicing his head off with ease.

"You were a bit lame." Angel threw the axe beside the beast and strolled off for his next victim.

Buffy saw the demon before Giles. It was laying out on the ground a few metres ahead of them.

"We caught a sleepy one." Buffy nudged her watcher. "Hey you! Get up!" Buffy yelled, tensing her body in case of a trick attack.

Nothing happened.

Buffy stepped closer and noticed the deep purple blood that spilled out on the grass between the demons neck and head. "Oh." She frowned "So that's why your not waking up." She looked puzzled at her watcher.

"Very strange." He began to mutter under his breath.

"What could have caused it? Another demon?" Buffy looked aimlessly at Giles.

"No. It wouldn't have been another demon I shouldn't think. Could have been a demon hunter though." He exclaimed looking slightly more cheerful. "He could be quite handy if we could find him." His heart lifted from his chest slightly.

"Or she." Buffy grumbled. "It doesn't always have to be men, remember?" The slayer was all for Anti-sexism. This demon hunter.Who was it? How was she ever going to find them?..
