Chapter 7: Confrontations
"Buffy!" Giles exclaimed, all staring at the blonde guys.
"Uhh, hey guys." She said a bit sheepishly, "Now, don't go staking me, cause I am not a vampire." She told them, Ainnle and Liam growling at Giles and company and unwilling to let Willow past to let her hug Buffy.
"We know that you aren't a vampire! We have been chasing you since you left Sunnydale. Of course your mother still thinks that you are dead. not that that is much of a change." Giles told her. "So, these must be the human hounds. fascinating." Giles said, he bent down to take a closer look, only to have Ainnle try to bite him, when he reached out to pet him. "Oh! Are they always like this?" he asked.
"What?" she noticed that Ainnle and Liam still protecting her.
'Sorry guys, I forgot how protective you are.' She told them silently, reaching down to scrach them behind their ears.
"Yes, they are always like that." A new voice said. Willow's mouth dropped as Methos stepped into view, "If she wasn't in so much shock, she would have introduced you and we'd be on our merry way." He winked at Willow and she blushed as red as her hair.
"Right," Buffy stammered, "This is Liam and this is Ainnle." Giles, Willow, and Jenny seemed confused about the names, "Finally! Someone who hasn't studied Irish." Buffy said. She watched as Giles approached Ainnle carefully.
"Remarkable, they are very well trained." Giles said.
'You might want to tell him that we can hear him and will bite if he continues, we are people.' Liam told Buffy and she started to laugh, causing everyone to look at her, except for Methos.
"They communicate telepathically." He told them and watched, as the watcher's eyes grew big in shock. Giles looked the two hounds and Buffy with even more interest.
"They want me to tell you that they are people, but they will bite if you continue to badger them." She turned to glare at Methos, "I have been spending entirely too much time with you!" she declared, she playfully hit him and Willow looked on in interest. Giles cleared his throat and Methos and Buffy turned to look at him.
"You haven't introduced us to your companion, Buffy."
"Oh, this is Adam Pierson." She turned to Adam, "And this is Willow, Giles, and Jenny."
"Giles can I see your left forearm?" Methos asked, shrugging Giles did as asked.
"Why?"
"Just wanted to see what type of watcher you were."
"Oh, I see," Giles said, he paused for a moment, processing what had just been said, "Wait. Type?"
"Well, yes," Methos said, looking in confusion, until Buffy hit him.
"I hadn't told them!"
"Opps. I'm going to go away now." Methos told them, trying to escape the very pissed off slayer. Giles looked at Buffy in question, wondering what on earth was going on.
"Well, you see." she started, "I'm immortal. And there are these guys that watch and record, without interfering and they have tattoo's on their forearm and he thought you might be one of them." She paused and waited for the backlash, but it never came.
"Aren't you going to go 'Ohhh!'?" Buffy asked.
"Well, no," Giles told her, "Because there is a prophecy concerning you and your immortality." Buffy looked at him in confusion, "Well, basically it speaks of you returning from the grave and Ainnle and Liam finding you and being bound to you and you would purge the earth of evil, starting with an evil wizard."
"Oh." She said. "Well, it's good to know that my death didn't seem to change you that much. I'm gonna go train or something like that."
No one saw the small, platinum blonde who looked remarkably like Spike, listening in on their conversation. He quickly went to the owl dispensary.
'Father,
I have news for Angelus, get him here quickly.
Your Son.'
An Empty Classroom (That Dumbledore has let Buffy use to train with all sorts of equipment, including an enchanted cd player and Ainnle and Liam are in her room, sleeping).
Take this pink ribbon off my eyes I'm exposed and it's no big surprise Don't you think I know Exactly where I stand This world is forcing me To hold your hand
Buffy started off with Tai Chi that Angel had taught her and she let her thoughts wander back to Angel. How he held her and how he made her feel safe. She then let her thoughts wander to Methos and the attraction she felt there.
'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
Don't let me out of your signt
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights
Oh... I've had it up to here!
'He seems to care for me. I don't know if I love him, but I do like him. Maybe if I hadn't meet Angel first things would have been different.'
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear
Buffy's thoughts continued to wander, until she felt the prescence of another immortal.
"What do you want Methos?"
"Well, you seem like you need a practice partner."
"I don't know," she took a moment to think, "You haven't faired to well against me before." She told him, "But if you wanna get your ass kicked, who am I to say no?"
'Cause I'm just a girl,
I'd rather not be
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night
I'm just a girl,
Guess I'm some kind of freak
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
Buffy and Methos pulled out their swords and began to circle each other.
Elsewhere in the Castle
"So, she is training?" Angelus asked the boy, "And she will be alone?"
"Yes." Draco was terrified of this vampire and wanted him gone.
"Take me there." Angelus followed the boy through the school's labyrinth, until they heard the sound of swords clashing. "I thought you said she was alone!" Angelus asked the boy, enraged and he immediately went into game face.
'How dare someone attempt to hurt my mate!' Angelus thought, he dismissed the boy and followed the sound. He heard the radio blaring,
I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Makes me worry some
I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to
Is making me numb
I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become, is so burdensome
I'm just a girl, lucky me
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison
Buffy felt Angelus nearby, but when she let her guard down to look, Methos sprang. He knocked her sword out of her hand,
"Looks like I win this time." Methos heard a roar and suddenly he was tackled by a very pissed off Angelus.
"She is mine!" Angelus told him, "Mine to kill, Mine to rape! Mine!" Angelus snapped his neck and dropped the body, slowly turning around to face Buffy still pretty pissed at her. "How could you have been so stupid." He asked, he advanced on the disorientated slayer.
"You are mine." He grabbed her and pushed her up against the wall, pinning her hands above her head, his anger adding to his strength. "Mine." He kissed her, roughly, with the pent up passion of the last couple of days/weeks. "Mine." He slipped his free hand underneath her shirt and cupped her breast. He smiled when she arced up into him, seeking more, but he was still pissed at her, so he tormented her, by teasing her with light touches. "Whose are you?"
Buffy was lost in a haze of passion, on one level she did realize that it was Angelus above her and not Angel, but her body could care less. She moaned and silently begged for more of his tormenting touch. She tried to focus on his words, but it took some doing.
"I am my own person." She told him and whimpered when he immediately withdrew his hand from beneath her shirt. He kissed her lightly and pushed his aching arousal against her dripping sex, as thought his and her pants weren't in the way.
"Whose are you?" he asked, his tone taking a harsher edge, as he tried to reign in his desire to pound her into the wall. He felt her wrap her legs around his hips and he pushed forward and then retreated, enacting what they both so desperately wanted.
When she was almost over the top, he stopped, "Whose are you?"
"Yours." She whispered, knowing that she was indeed his and only his and she would be damned for it. Suddenly, they both heard a growling, Angelus turned around in confusion.
"What the hell?"
Behind him stood two Irish wolf hounds, both looking pretty pissed and growling, at him. Angelus let Buffy slid down the wall and retreated slightly, the two hounds pressed forward until they were between Buffy and Angelus. Angelus growled back, but the hounds weren't afraid of him. He heard a groan and turned, he watched as Methos got to his feet.
"Did you have to snap my neck?" Methos asked, watching the confusion marr the angelic vampires' face, "Do you know how much that hurts?"
"This is not over." Angelus told Buffy before turning around and leaving, completely pissed that his plans were once again gone. He was still trying to figure out what the hell had happened. He ran into Draco.
"Find out everything on the guys she traveled with." He told Draco, "I want the information by tomorrow night. And follow my mate, make sure that nothing happens to her or that she isn't upset by anyone." He stalked out and went back to Malfoy manor.
