Part 10/?
Xander: I'm telling her.
Adam sighed and squezed the bridge of his nose..
Adam: You can't Xander..
Xander shook his head but didn't break eye contact..
Xander: I'm telling her. And so are you.
Adam shook his head..
Adam: Hell no.. Tell her your secret but not another damn person is going to know mine.. Hell I didn't want to tell you and Rupert.
Xander finally broke eye contact and looked at the floor..
Xander: Fine.. Then just back me up with my secret.. I'm asking this as a friend Adam... Neither of us have that many.
Adam sighed in defeat..
Adam: Fine. I'll help you tell the slayer.. Damn women.. Always in the way of a cause.. Did I tell you about the love triangle between Anthony, Cleopatra and myself?
Xander turned and walked toward the exit..
Xander: Don't have time to hear it right now Adam.. Maybe after patrol.. By the way.. Walsh really has it in for me.. I don't know how much longer I can take this crap.
The door shut before Adam could say anything.. Xander walked into Prof. Walsh's office.. He shut the door as Walsh turned to look at him..
Walsh: What are you?
Xander looked at her in confusion..
Walsh: I don't trust you Harris.. And I don't want people I can't trust.. Your off the team..
Xander looked at her curiously and then shrugged..
Xander: Okay..
Walsh seems shocked..
Xander: But I doubt you'll just let me walk out of here.. Even if I did promise to keep this place a secret.
Walsh chuckles...
Walsh: Thats exactly what I'm going to do... But I will warn you that we CAN and WILL go to extremes to keep our operations a secret.. Now leave.
Xander nodded and turned walking out of her office with a slight smirk on his face.. Xander saw Riley walking toward him and put on a sorrowfilled look...
Riley: Whats wrong?
Xander looked at him..
Xander: I got fired..
Riley looks shocked..
Xander: Look.. If you ever need me.. Well it goes unsaid.
Riley nods as Xander walks out of the initiative. Xander walks up to Buffy breathing deeply..
Xander: I need to talk to you tonight..
Buffy looked at him concerned as he walked beside her..
Buffy: Are you okay?
Xander swallowed and nodded..
Xander: Yeah.. I'm fine.. But its really important..
Buffy nodded still looking concerned..
Buffy: Okay.. We'll talk after patrol.. You are coming right?
Xander smiled and nodded..
Xander: I love my Buffy time..
Buffy chuckled as they walked down the hallway.. Hand in hand.. Willow and Oz watching from behind with smiles on there faces..well on Willows anyway.
Willow: Told ya.
Oz nods looking in thought..
Oz: Yea you did... How much do I owe you again?
Willow smiles a naughty smile and the two walk out the doors.. Xander and Buffy are walking through a cemetery.. Xander has a broadsword in his right hand and a stake in his left.. Buffy is carrying mr. Pointy..
Buffy: What did you need to talk to me about?
Xander took a deep breath..
Xander: Do you trust me Buffy?
Buffy looked at him like he was nuts..
Buffy: Of course.
Xander nodded nervously..
Xander: So if I was diffrent it wouldn't matter?
Buffy shook her head..
Buffy: Not unless you were evil.. Please say your not evil.
Xander chuckled quietly..
Xander: I'm not evil... However I am.......diffrent.
Buffy looked at him expectantly.. Xander again took a deep breath..
Xander: Why don't I just show you? Follow me.
Buffy nodded a worried expression still on her face.. She followed him out of the cemetery.. They walked into the well lit wearhouse..
Xander: Remember that guy in the graveyard that killed those two drynt demons?
Buffy nodded as Xander took a deep breath..
Xander: He was me..
Buffy looked at him for a second before blinking...
Adam: So. You told her yet?
Xander glared at him..
Xander: I'm in the middle of it.. Is Giles here?
Adam nodded..
Xander: Bring him here.
Adam nodded again and walked from the room..
Xander: Okay.. Now the hard part.. I'm a vampire..
Buffy took a step back and his heart clenched..
Xander: A good vampire.. A daywalker..
Buffy looks hurt and confused as Giles walks in..
Buffy: You lied to me.
Xander hung his head looking at the floor..
Xander: yeah.. I did.
Buffy just looked at him in shock.. Giles didn't say anything..
Buffy: Why?
Xander swallowed..
Xander: Fear. I feel for you Buffy.. I used to call it love but I think i'm in the process of moving on.. And I don't want to.. I thought if you knew.. That well.. Instead of just being background guy I'd fall to someone you used to know guy.. I couldn't handle that.. Hell I still can't.. But I can't lie to you anymore.. I'm staying here tonight so you can think on things.. If you don't want to see me again.. I'll understand...
Xander turned and walked toward the exit.. throwing Giles his car keys..
Xander: make sure she gets home Giles... Please.
Giles nodded and led a very confused and shocked Buffy to Xander's Cuda.. As they left Adam walked up beside Xander..
Adam: How long will you let her think?
Xander smiles somewhat sadly..
Xander: I have forever... And I'll wait longer..
Adam smiles..
Adam: Your a good man Xander.. I don't care what everyone else says about you.
Xander looked at Adam with a raised eyebrow.. Adam chuckled and walked toward the upstairs..
Adam: You have the spar cot..
Xander sighed..
Xander: The thing feels like concrete!
Adam just shruged as he walked into his room.. Xander groaned and walked to the corner cot..
part 11/?
Xander sat in his first class.... He sat in his normal seat and was more than a little hurt when Buffy changed places with Willow.. About half way through class he couldn't sit any longer.. He stood up and began to walk from the room...
Walsh: Where do you think your going Mr. Harris?
Xander turned and looked at her..
Xander: Somewhere else mom..
Walsh looked at him in shock as he walked out of the room... He didn't need the class anyway.. He walked down the halls quickly..
Riley: Hey Xand! Wait up!
Xander grimaced but stopped and waited for Riley to catch him..
Riley: Ok.. Whats up with you and Buffy?
Xander shrugged...
Xander: She's pissed at me...
Riley nodded..
Riley: I got that to... Don't let it get to you.. I know how you feel.. And don't worry about Walsh.. I'll make sure she doesn't get you in trouble..
Xander nodded..
Xander: Thanks man.. I gotta get some air.. Seya.
Riley waves and runs back toward the class... Xander sighs and walks out of the school... Xander walks into the warehouse to see Adam in a sword Kata..
Xander: Wanna spar?
Adam looked at him and smiled..
Adam: You wanna lose?
Xander snorted and picked up his sword...
Xander: Thats not likely...
The two lunged at eachother and fought back and forth for over an hour... Finally Xander ran up the wall and flipped over laying his sword on Adams neck..
Xander: I win.
Adam scowled at him..
Adam: Took you long enough..
Xander chuckled not looking winded..
Xander: I had some issues to think about..
Adam breathed deeply shaking his head..
Adam: Your very strange Xander... Very strange..
Adam walked into his room as Xander laid on his cot.. Talking to himself..
Xander: I wonder if Blade would mind a visit? I need some time away from the hellmouth...
Buffy watched as Xander walked out of the classroom.. She wanted to go after him... she did.. But she just couldn't do it.. she felt betrayed.. she watched as Riley frowned at her and jogged out the door after Xander..
Willow: Whats with Xander?
Buffy shrugged as if she didn't care..
Willow: What happened?
Buffy looked at her for a second..
Buffy: Nothing Will... I just need some time to figure everything out..
Willow looked at the slayer a second longer then turned back to her notes.. not sure what to say.. As the class ended Buffy went to the one person she could talk to....Joyce.. As Buffy walked into the house Joyce was watching tv on the couch..
Joyce: Hi honey.. What are you doing home?
She saw the look on Buffy's face..
Joyce: Is Angel back?
Buffy looked confused and shook her head...
Buffy: No.. I just need to talk to you.. Its about Xander..
Joyce nodded patting the cusion of the couch.. Buffy sat down..
Buffy: He lied to me mom..
Joyce looked confused and was about to ask her why when..
Buffy: He didn't trust me.. He thought I'd kick him out of the group or something... He didn't trust me....
She said this in almost a whisper.... Her mother looked at her sincerely..
Joyce: If Xander kept something from you it must have been for a good reason.. Not that he didn't trust you.. He probably didn't trust in himself..
Buffy looks at the floor as he hears Giles come in..
Giles: Joyce are you ready?
Buffy looks at Giles then at Joyce.. then back at Giles.. finally she decides not to ask questions about them... but..
Buffy: I was wondering if I could stay here until Xander and I work this out?
Joyce was about to say yes...
Giles: That won't be neccessary.. Xander has left for a time..
Buffy looks at him and blinks..
Buffy: What?!
Giles takes off his glasses and wipes them..
Giles: He thought that the way you treated him this morning meant you needed space... He's giving it to you..
Buffy is at a lose..
Giles: Therefore there is no need for you to move in with Joyce..
Buffy just nods still blinking..
Joyce: Are you okay honey?
Buffy looks at her mom..
Buffy: Huh? Oh yeah.. I'm fine.
Joyce smiles at her daughter and stands..
Joyce: I'm ready when you are Rupert..
Buffy watches as Joyce and Giles walk out of the house..
Buffy: What just happened?
theres part... hold on i have to look..... 11.. yeah.. next part.. Xander goes to the least likely place.... I wonder where? please R&R... thanks..
Xander: I'm telling her.
Adam sighed and squezed the bridge of his nose..
Adam: You can't Xander..
Xander shook his head but didn't break eye contact..
Xander: I'm telling her. And so are you.
Adam shook his head..
Adam: Hell no.. Tell her your secret but not another damn person is going to know mine.. Hell I didn't want to tell you and Rupert.
