Note: yes, we all know that I like to ramble about nonsensical things. For
example, did they steal the name Sunnydale from Sunnyvale? I happen to live
only a few miles away from Sunnyvale. eh. kinda boring around here though.
Mutters unhappily, "it's not faiiirrr. I saw two 'Johnny the Homicidal Maniac' books at Legends 1 week ago and now they're both gone! . and I'm also too lazy to ask them to order it. maybe I should though. I've been pining for that comic for months already.. Heh, at least I have Squee! Squee is an awesome comic. I esp. love that segment with the disgustingly cute puppy being run over multiple times oh oh!. and the one with aliens kidnapping Squee's parents. and when Squee's grandpa tries to eat him. Lol.it's so hilariously sick. I bet Spike would enjoy reading that comic.

After pacing and muttering to himself for the last few hours, William's body succumbed to sleep once more. During this time, his defenses fell and Aoide finally was able to open the door to his room.
"William?" She whispered as the door swung open with a soft whine. She gasped as she saw him sprawled out on the bed unconscious.
"William!" She cried out more urgently as she went to his side and shook his shoulders.
There was no answer.
Then she checked his vital signs. He was still breathing and his circulation was still going. She tried to wake him again but to no avail.
Aoide panicked for a few moments. and finally ran to his desk drawer and pulled out a private phone book that he kept. He used to mention Leng a lot while he helped her train, he always talked about how good of a fighting teacher she was and how skilled she was at making potions and ancient remedies.
Aoide scrambled out of William's room, went into the kitchen to get the cordless phone and looked up Leng's cell phone number.
~~~~
He watched himself in the mirror; there were two people where there should have been one. He saw himself, his old self and then he also saw a very tall figure dressed in a dark blue robe. The figure was extremely tall, very muscular, his face was hardened with sharp edges and dark violet eyes, and his most prominent feature was that he had enormous silver wings that grew from his back.
"Who are you?" Spike queried.
"I am everything, I am you, I am..." The figure spoke.
"A little more concise please?" Spike asked as he crossed his arms.
"I am Michael. You should have known who I am already. I've been in your body for years already." He retorted.
Spike furrowed his brow, "I think I know who you are. I can sense you... or something. I was aware of your presence for a while."
"No, you always knew on the inside, but you're suppressing the memory at the moment. Both of you know."
"Both?"
At that moment Spike looked into the mirror and he split into two being again. There stood a demon with blue skin and black hair, he looked like a gangster with tattoos. He looked tired with the rings under his eyes, emaciated from lack of nutrition and he was covered in cuts and bruises. Next to him was a little human boy, about 9 years old, who was curled up on the ground. He clutched his chest as he wheezed softly, trying to take in as much breath as he could. The little blue-eyed shivered or coughed every once in a while, he looked as if he was in the last fatal stages of Scarlet Fever.
When the Spike split into the two beings he realized that this was his demon soul and his human soul. Both weakened tremendously and one of them dying. The demon soul immediately knelt down and scooped up this human soul into his arms and rocked him slowly. The little boy clung onto for dear life as he whimpered a little at being jarred when the demon soul picked him up.
Michael walked over. "He's dying Nemiphoren."
The demon soul nodded sadly and spoke with a very thick Northern British street accent, "I know. I just wish I could help him."
" You're dying too, but not as fast as he his."
"I already know that. We can't keep fighting that thing. Even if you have been protecting us, it can eat away at us through different ways. It's just slowly burning the both of us out."
"Nemi." The little boy whispered.
"Hey Will, hang in there okay?" The demon soul said as he tried to put on a smile for the boy's benefit.
"I'm tired." Will said as she rubbed his eyes
"Yeah, same here."
"You don't have to keep protecting me, you'll probably live longer if you leave me." Will said softly and then he began to shiver again.
Nemiphoren frowned and wrapped the boy in his trench coat. "Don't be daft kiddo. I wouldn't leave you here. I'd be pretty boring without you, yah know."
He tried to lighten the mood, but the situation was still pretty bad.
"Thank you Nemi." William whispered as he burrowed himself into the warm coat.
"Hey, go to sleep 'lright? I'm gonna talk to Mr. Archangel over here."
"Will Buffy love me someday?" Will whispered with a little hope in his eyes.
"Yeah!" Nemi said a little too enthusiastically. "Yah know, we've been gone so long. She'll be ecstatic and she'll jump into our arms and she'll love us like crazy. And we can take her to all these nice place since we've got money now and well can help Niblet."
Will smiled as he slowly fell asleep, listening to Nemi's great plans.
After Nemi was sure that Will had fallen asleep, he stopped spinning his lies. He bit his lip as he quietly sobbed. He had kept Spike's encounter with the Scoobies away from Will this entire time, Will wouldn't have been able to stand the hateful way that Buffy looked at him. Will was remembering again after all these years, sure in the past few years there had been a few close calls. But now, his human soul almost remembered everything up until the day Buffy came back from the dead.. Nemi was afraid that the broken and weak human soul wouldn't be able to last long if he knew everything in the end. 'Please don't die.' Then he turned around and went to talk with Michael. ~~~
"Lucifer!" Lorne growled hateful.
Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, I know no one likes me, I'm evil yada yada yada. But that's not the point. I'm here because I want one of my hell gods back."
Buffy crossed her arms, "Why do you want him? And what are you going to do once you get him back?"
"One, I need him back to help me fight in the final battle, or else the playing field won't be even, especially considering how powerful he is. And two, I'm just going to take my hell god and leave."
"I don't think so, it sounds to me like another apocalypse." Buffy said in a bored voice.
Lucifer sneered, "Stupid humans, have no idea what the hell is going on.Look, you want your friend back, I want my demon back. If we don't do this, neither of us get what we want!"
"Fine." Buffy said curtly , "Just stay out of our way. We can handle the situation."
Lucifer rolled his eyes, "The situation needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. I can make the potions work in one tenth the amount of time than their suppose to."
Giles raised an eyebrow, "How is that possible?"
"Just one of the perks about being an Archangel, and even though I've 'fallen', yes I am still considered one. I can speed up time for anyplace, anything, anyone."
Giles handed over the ready potions, "Alright then, do your stuff."
Lucifer look the cups from Giles and placed it on a table nearby. The green liquids glowed orange for a few moments and then returned to normal. "It should be ready within two hours, I suggest you call him around 9:50."
~~~
Leng paused while she opened the door to her lab, she was on her way to check on the potion, when she heard her cell phone ring. She picked up
"Hello, Leng speaking."
"E-excuse me. Ms. Leng?"
"Yes? Who is this, how did you get my private number?"
"M-my name is Aoide. W-w-William is in trouble. I can't wake him up. He's still alive, but he's unconscious. I don't know what to do!"
Leng bit her lower lip. "Shoot." she muttered. "How long has he been out?"
"I don't know. He somehow was able to lock me out of his room for the last two days."
"I'm on my way over there right now." Leng said as she packed the potion into a special case. "I'm going to try to catch the next flight out of here. This is serious. Just, don't move him! Try to get him to stay awake until I get there, the next time he wakes up."
"Alright. What do I do now?"
"Just stay calm and stay by his side."
"Thank you, thank you. bye."
"Watch him, good bye."
~~~ Michael crossed his arms as he leaned against the wall, his silver wings folded very neatly behind him.
Nemi's hands were stuffed his pocket. "He's getting worse. Can't you do anything?"
Michael shook his head. "This beast within his mindscape isn't demonic. It's more man-made, it's the accumulation of human hate, fear, sorrow, agony, revenge. all that negative emotion. I don't know how or who started it, I was somewhat aware of it before when I was watching from heaven. I would stop it if I could, but I don't know how to get rid of it and every method I've tried doesn't work."
Nemi clenched his fist. "Well try harder!"
"Calm down!"
"Calm down?! Will is dying!"
"Since when did demon souls care about the human souls."
"." Nemi frowned and looked away.
Michael gave him an intrigued look. "You've very interesting, for a demon soul. I never pried before when I entered your body, but my curiosity is getting the better of me. You're so protective of the human soul in this body that you inhabit; which is immensely odd. I thought that once a person becomes a vampire, the demon soul either pushes out the human soul completely or they torture and subdue it."
Nemi's eyes grew distant as he recalled the past. "When I entered William's body. I wanted to throw out the human soul. But he wasn't a threat at all, he was hiding from me half the time. So in the end, we just kind of left each other alone. I started to get used to him being there, but I was still in control of Spike's body. About the same time Spike got the chip in his head. I made a truce with Will, if I started to help Buffy and the Slayerettes, then he would use his intelligence to feed me and keep me alive. We started to become. friends.I started to learn about William's life before I came along and I sympathized for him and he helped me get over Dru when she left.
I think the both of us fell in love with Buffy. He loves the Buffy side of her and I loved the Slayer side. We both had a mutual understanding and strove to somehow court her. We tried everything, from being sweet and giving her candy to shagging her. nothing worked.And then when we went to get our 'soul', which meant making Will the guy in control; he never kicked me out like most human souls would have, and he just split our job of being in control. But I'm digressing. Look, Will and I have been mates for so long, he's kept me out of trouble and I've protected him all the nasties. I don't think I can lose him. he's become a apart of me."
Michael looked at the demon soul with studying eyes and nodded. "I'll keep trying. But I can't guarantee anything. Why don't you go back and check on Will."
Nemi nodded and walked back to the little boy bundled in the black trench coat.
~~~ Leng whispered with a triumphant "yes!" to herself as the lady at the check- in counter informed her that there were extra seats to the one-way flight to Los Angeles. Sure, she had to pay more, but money was no comparison to the severity of the emergency.
She called Aoide again, after she got her ticket, to tell her to pick her up at the airport
She crossed her fingers and hoped that she would get there in time.
~~~
William woke up again, but with more understanding this time. This time he knew that the demon soul was in charge, since Michael had gone off to find more ways to fend off the creature that was draining them. It was evening already. He looked at the clock, which read 9: 42 pm. Then he noticed that his room's door was open. '.must have dropped my defenses."
William quietly walked out of his room, "Aoide?" he called out.
There was no reply.
Then he noticed a note tacked to the exit door.
William-
If you wake up while I'm gone, I'm sorry I wasn't there. I'm out getting dinner for your gramps and you. I'll be back soon. How does some of Wilson's chicken soup sound? I know it's your favorite. Be back soon.
Aoide
P.S. don't do anything stupid.
William smirked at the last comment. Aoide was a great slayer, she was unconventional, just like Buffy was, however, Aoide was never trained by a Watcher. He had learned that the first week Aoide stayed with him. He could tell that she wasn't Chinese despite her black hair and brown eyes, her sharp defined face was definitely Mediterranean. She had told him that she was Greek with some Arabian blood, hence her darker tones. When she was 7, her family was approached by Watchers who were trying to take her away to train; in response, they fled. They had ended up in South Korea for about 4 years, it the perfect hiding place because there were no addresses there at all. But word of mouth somehow led the Watchers to their doorstep once more. Then they had fled to Hong Kong and stayed there for 5 years. And finally she had just left not too long ago to flee to California. Even though she wasn't trained by watchers, she was a very good fighter. Her parents had looked for all sorts of dojos to teach her as they fled from the Watchers. And Aoide also had a special power that all the descendants in their family had.
~ (Flashback)
William easily blocked one of Aoide's high kicks and he used her momentum to flip her over. He could tell that Aoide was getting frustrated, she had never been taught to counter his style of fighting. He had picked up this very difficult style from Leng. Basically, every one of his moves absorbed his opponent's attacks and used their own momentum against them.
Eventually William pinned Aoide to the wall.
"Give up. You can't beat me." He said as he gave her a victorious smile.
Aoide scowled at him and opened her mouth. He expected her to throw angry insults at him and his arrogance. Instead, she started to sing.
The rhythm of her song and the resonating effect of her voice caused his mind to fuzz and within seconds he crumpled onto the floor and fell into a deep sleep.
(End flashback) ~
William smiled at the memory. When he had woken up, he was totally disoriented and confused, but after that he never worried about Aoide again. He had found out later that everyone in her family could do that and that particular song she sang could make any creature, dead or alive, fall asleep for at least 5 hours. She also had other songs that made people feel sad, happy, confused, in love, etc. Indeed she was unconventional.
Suddenly the William heard the phone ring and he hurried over to pick it up.
It was Cordy and she sounded panicked.
"Cordy what's wrong?"
"Oh my god, oh my god. Dawn's hurt really badly, she was trying to go downstairs to get something to eat and she fell down the stairs because of her twisted ankle. She's unconscious right now! Please help her!"
Without thinking twice William responded, forgetting the hostile message he had told the Scoobies two days before, "I'll be over as soon as I can! Don't move her and call the hospital."
"Please hurry!" Cordy cried out and finally disconnected the line.
William put down the phone, got his jacked and rushed out of his penthouse unaware of the ambush that awaited him.
