Willow's Savior

Chapter 10

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. Joss Whedon does, the lucky guy.

Authors Note: Rated R for a few curse words and talk of sex. About the same as an episode but better safe then sorry. Takes place after Spike got the chip and there is no Tara.

Bait!

"What do you mean I'm not acting like bait?" I overheard Buffy ask Giles over the surveillance microphone as they walked the street that night hoping to attract the demon. Xander, Spike and I were at Giles' house listening as they walked around Sunnydale.

"Does bait usually walk around carrying an axe?" Giles asked. "At least drop it off on your porch when we walk by there."

"Alright, but if I get impaled by the demon, it's all your fault." Buffy groused.

"Well then we'll just have to make sure that it simply kidnaps you before it can think to impale you."

===========================================================================

"Why doesn't she just bugger the bloody sod, and save us all a bloody headache?" Spike questioned rather suddenly.

"Who?" I asked somewhat confused. He couldn't mean Buffy and Giles, could he?

"The Slayer and her Watcher. It's Bloody obvious."

"Giles and Buffy?" Xander exclaimed. "Are you out of your mind, fangless?"

"The git's in love with her." Spike stated exasperatedly. "Please tell me you're not that oblivious."

"Of course he cares about her, but that's because he's her watcher, isn't it?" I asked.

"Yeah, I mean he's never said anything." Xander stated.

"At the rate Rupes is going they'll both be dead and in the ground before he makes his move." Spike sneered, looking disgusted with them all.

"Oh, you're one to talk, Spike." Xander snorted. "Love's bitch. Isn't that what you said?"\

"Oy, mate!" Spike exclaimed. "Don't know what your bloody talk-"

He was interrupted by Giles' scream as the demon attacked him and Buffy.

===========================================================================

"Buffy!" Giles yelled trying to attack the demon who had appeared out of nowhere. "Behind you."

They both 'fought' quite convincingly, looking desperate and scared. Once Giles was knocked out of the way, the demon grabbed Buffy and disappeared with her still 'struggling' in his arms.

A little less than ten minutes later Giles rushed through his front door looking panicky.

"Did we get a trace of where hew took her?"

"Yes." Xander said looking at a small screen he held in his hand while the others gathered weapons and the battle axe. "He's entering the warehouse district with Buffy now. Come on."

No demons or vampires went after them that night, perhaps because of their grim looking countenance or because of the weapons they carried as they strode down the street. One thing was for certain, the White Hats were on the offensive.
