Chapter 5

Spike woke up just as the sun was setting. He reached beside him and grabbed his smokes, and lit up. *Bloody hell* he thought taking a deep drag, *I've just bloody well woken up and the chit's already invading my thoughts.* He of course was talking about Buffy; he still was dumbfounded on what to do with her. He crushed out the smoke in the ashtray beside him, and decided to give his mind a rest about the damn slayer, and he slid out of bed, and walked into the bathroom turning on the shower, and stepping under the hot spray.

Across town, Buffy was in the same mood. "I wanted to enjoy my vacation, not wait for some bleached-stupid-sexy-…wait I didn't mean that…oh no use arguing with myself, he is FINE! Now where was I? Oh right I don't want to wait for some vampire to kill me!" She mumbled to herself, she didn't need to worry about her mom hearing because once they all had woken up that morning Dawn practically saw the waves of stress, and anger flowing off of Buffy, knowing that her mom would notice sooner or later she asked Joyce to take her to the nearby gallery knowing that Joyce wouldn't give up a chance to see it. "UGH," She shouted. "I really this!" She shouted at the ceiling…well it was supposed to be at The Powers, but she knew they probably weren't listening anyway.

Then she felt it; that little tingling up the back of her neck, the one she missed during their first meeting…Spike was near. She ran around the room, grabbing her favorite stake 'Mr. Pointy,' which Giles had given her, it belonged to the slayer before her, she also ran into the bathroom quickly brushed her hair, checked her make-up, and put on another coat of lip-gloss. *Wait a minute, what am I doing?* She thought in mid-gloss. *I'm getting pretty, why the hell am I doing that? Geez, sometimes I really am a blonde.* Just as she stepped out of the bathroom, the heard three hard knocks at the door. Quickly doing a mental checklist about her weapons, she opened the door to see Spike leaning against the door frame with his trade-mark smirk on his face.

"'Ello pet." He drawled, looking her over like she was a piece of meat. She was hot, so why waste the advantage?

"Spike, what are you doing here?" She asked, with a little hint of annoyance in her voice, she thought he wouldn't catch it; after all she didn't want him to know what she was up to.

Spike smiled she thought he didn't catch that, well…he did. "Just thought I might take a little American out tonight."

"Sorry Dawn's going out, but I'll tell her you stopped by." And with that she tried to shut the door, but Spike was to fast he caught it, slipped in and shut it behind him.

"Now why would you do that, huh pet?" He asked taking a step toward her.

"Oh I don't know…maybe because…oh let me think," she was tired of playing his little game, she was here, he was here be better for everyone if it was finished tonight, "you're a vampire. There I think that's a good enough excuse, and if you take another step I will stake your ass!" All the time while she was talking Spike, just kept taking little steps towards her, he was a little less than a meter away now.

Spike chuckled, "So you found out my little secret, eh slayer? Took ya long enough, last one had me pegged the minute she saw me." He chuckled again, "Too bad I was the last thing she saw." He took another step towards her. "What was it slayer that had you so confused? Hmm? Was it my dashing good looks?" He tilted his head and looked up and down, "Yours almost had me confused too."

"You're a pig Spike," She spat, "And you know what---." She didn't get to finish, she was cut off by a scream. All at once her slayer mode kicked in, she pushed Spike off to the side and ran down the hall and out the emergency exit door, and she looked down and saw a girl surrounded by 5 vamps. She quietly crept down, not wanted to inform them of her presence.

"Well, well, well what do we have here?" The leader vampire said, changing to game face, smiling as the girl screamed again.

"Well I would say we have a couple of bad bad buys, who need to be dusted." The 5 vamps whipped around taking their eyes off their prey momentarily to glare at whatever had disrupted them.

Buffy stood confidently behind them with Mr. Pointy clutched in her hand.

"W-who are you?" One of the Vamps asked.

"Well the names Buffy, but you can call me the slayer." She smiled as she saw their eyes widen, and took that opportunity to attack. The leader was the first one to awaken from the temporary trance they put themselves in, and threw himself at Buffy. She gracefully dodged him and he fell behind her. The others finally awoke also and threw themselves almost all at once at her. A couple right hooks, and arm jabs later, she had staked the first 3 easily, leaving the leader and another fledgling. The fledgling stupidly threw himself at her and she did a roundhouse kick to his cheek, and then punched him in the stomach, when he doubled over she took the open chance and staked him, leaving only the leader and herself…and Spike. She had felt his presence earlier but he made no move to get into the fight. She kept her senses open and watched him from the corner of her eye, focusing mostly on the Vamp before her.

"Let's get this over with, shall we?" She asked before going at him in a fury of kicks and punches. At first his fought her blow for blow, then she got the upper hand and flipped him so he was lying on his back before her.

"Well I would say it was nice knowing you, but we both know that would be a lie now wouldn't we?" She told him smirking as she raised her arm.

"You fuckin' bitc—." He was cut of by Buffy plunging the stake into his un-beating heart.

She stood up and wiped the dust off her sweater, while looking around for the girl. She spotted her curled up, shaking in a corner, by a dumpster. She walked over to her. "It's okay, their all gone now."

"W-who are you?" The girl asked looking curiously up at her.

"Not important, just go into the lobby of the hotel and call a cab, okay." The girl just nodded and scurried off towards the front of the hotel.

Spike had slowly followed Buffy outside, and he watched her as she faced the pack of Vamps, when she fought it was almost…like a dance. A dance he almost couldn't wait to participate in. He watched her, but he didn't intervene. And when the victim ran off he started to clap.

Buffy heard clapping behind her and she whipped around to face Spike. He was slowly stepping out of the shadows a smirk plastered on his face.

"Well slayer that was bloody amazing."

"Glad you liked it, 'cuz their fate is going to be yours soon." She spat with a scowl on her face, "let's finish this." And she fell back into her fighting stance, waiting for him to make his move. But his reaction isn't what she expected, he started to laugh.

"Ah, an eager slayer…I love it. But what I have for you is not going down tonight." He started to walk away then, but before he was out of hearing range he shouted over his shoulder, "See you on Saturday."

"What happens on Saturday?" Buffy yelled back.

Spike stopped turned around, and tilted his head doing a dramatic pause. "I kill you." And with that he disappeared into the shadows.
