Disclaimer: Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its character are owned by Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy. No Infringement was intended. Also thank you to Doug Petrie who wrote the season five episode "Fool for Love" and Nick Marck who directed it. Some of my scenes will be borrowed from those flashbacks. As well I have also used scenes in my flashbacks from seasons two to six.

Summary: Takes place at beginning of season 7. Mostly about Spike. Lots of flashbacks, so we got some 'Fanged Foursome' stuff. It's got Buffy/Spike, Drusilla/Spike, and Harmony/Spike, so enjoy. (But it's mostly Buffy/Spike.)

Prologue

Buffy fell hard to the graveyard floor as the vampire kneeled attempting to taste the blood that few before him ever have. As Buffy struggled under the strength of this vampire that could have been no less than 250 pounds she reached around for something, well anything, to stake him with. Finding nothing she continued to struggle.

"No, this can't be it," she thought, "not just some stray vampire. Not just some vamp she happened to stumble upon on one night of patrol. Not after the Master, Angelus, Dracula, Not just 'some vamp.'

As she felt his breath at his neck she closed her eyes and breathed in hoping it would be over soon, not to be brought back.this time.When suddenly his face shot up, his eyes opened wide staring her in the face as the deathly scream of a soul being released is sent through the air and he explodes into dust floating into the air.

Noticing she's still alive Buffy quickly shoots her eyes open to see the figure standing before her. Feeling herself fill with more hatred than she thought she had in her she just stares at him.

He looks different now. He's thinner, his hair is fussled and falls over his eyes. The formerly youthful hair colour is now faded into a thin light brown. But she knew who he was. She would never forget. Yet all she could bring herself to say was,

"You shouldn't have come back."

"Is that right?" he said extending his hand.

Forcing herself up she replied, "Right."

"I'm sorry.for everything," was all he could say.

Turning and walking away she, "Sorry doesn't cut it Spike."

Whispering to himself all he could bring himself to say as his eyes filled with tears is, "I still am sorry, Pet." Than he just continued to watch her as she walked away from him and out of the graveyard. But he knew, no matter how much she wanted it, not out of his life.
