"Out hunting?" Gunn asked Angel, and his vampire friend nodded while walking through the cemetary together.

"Yeah, same old same old."

"Bored?" Gunn asked and Angel shrugged a little. He wasn't sure that bored fit to describe his emotions - he was just restless. Some days a month he felt a little extra edgy and could really use some good violence.


"Lets just say some of my best memories comes from cemetaries."

Gunn nodded. "Ah, I hope this isn't the part when you tell me about some major suck fest."


Angel laughed a little. "I wasn't thinking of ...sucking." He explained and Gunn nodded understanding. If Angel wasn't thinking about sucking or saving the world it usually meant he was thinking of a girl. And he sensed that talking about it wasn't and option right now.

"You know, maybe we can do better work apart. I mean attack the fang gang from two different places" He suggested and Angel nodded. He didn't feel much like company anyway.

"Sounds like a plan."

"Either way I think it's gonna be calm night." Gunn said before strolling of by himself. Angel wasn't worried, he knew that Gunn was able to look after himself.

He walked around in the dark pondering. "Yep looks like it's going to be a calm night." He said to himself just as he heard a female scream.

He jerked his head around and started to run in the direction of the scream. He saw a girl being held by a vampire and surrounded by another three. He was about to rush at her when suddenly things seemed to change in the situation before his eyes.

The girl elbowed the vampire holding her and then put him out with the back of her fist at the same time as she kicked a second vamp in the stomach. She did a jumping kick and dusted one of them with a stake. Then quick as a weasel she blocked two punches from the third vampire, kicked him in the crotch and then jumped up on a gravestone and kicked him in the face and making him fall over the other vampire she'd already knocked out - and then she staked them both at the same time.

With three out of the way the fourth grabbed her from behind but neither this stopped her. She took a hold of his arm and threw him over her shoulder and then quickly kneeled down and staked him.

Angel stepped out of his shadows, clapping his hands as she stood up brushing the dust of her jeans. "Impressive." He said and she looked surprised realising for the first time that he was there.

"Oh...didn't realise I had company."

"So I noticed." He looked around where the three vampires had been and she smiled apologetic.

"What you saw was just..."

"Vampires?"

She closed her mouth and nodded. "So you're in the biz?"

Angel did a face. He wondered if she was a slayer. She certainly had the strenghts to be. "No sure I'd call it that." He said.

"Okay...well I don't have time for a cryptic chat right now. Gotta bail." She said and was about to leave when Angel grabbed her arm.

'She certainly had the attitude of a slayer.' He thought. She paused in her moves and looked at his hand on her arm.

"Let go."

"Who are you?"

She frowned. "Look, I really didn't...." She didn't continue but instead punched him real hard right in the face forcing Angel to let go and put on his game face. She frowned and seemed surprised for a couple of seconds but then rolled her eyes.

"A vampire! Of course...lurking around, why didn't I see this directly?" She produced a stake. "Well better late then never."

Angel looked at it. "Don't." He said warning and she shook her head a little.

"You're asking me not to kill you? Pathetic much? But sorry, no point of going there." She kicked him and was going to punch him but Angel blocked her and punched her instead. She was a good fighter, but he was better. After trading a long series if blows she kicked him in the face twice and forced him to back off.

"This is where I get off." She said before running away in a fast speed. Away from him and the cemetary.

Angel looked at her disappear but didn't follow.

**********

"So you think she's a slayer?" Wesley asked and Angel shrugged as he put a tissue on his bleeding lip, that she'd cracked.

"Don't know what else she could be? She put up hell of a fight!"

"Couldn't she be a demon?" Fred asked and Wesley nodded.

"That's an option." He thought but Angel frowned and shook his head.

"A demon slaying vampires?"

His friends realised his point and Gunn put down a paper he'd been reading. "So what if she's a slayer? Isn't that a good thing? Another good guy...girl."

Angel raised his eyebrows. "Well technically yeah it's a good thing but...for another slayer to be called one must die."

Gunn shrugged and then realised what he meant. "Oh..."

"I'm sure Buffy is alright. Otherwise we would've heard something." Wesley insisted and Angel glanced at him.

"What about Faith?"

Fred stood up. "I'll call the prison, see if she's okay, I'm sure she is." She nodded supporting at Angel who smiled painfully and pressed the tissue to his lip again.

Gunn smirked. "That looks bad, he he, feisty little thing is she?"

Angel just glared before he stood up. "I'm going to bed." He announced and left his friends.

*******

The next night Angel found the mystery girl fighting vampires again. This time in an alley. He watched her handled them with no problem and then came at her. This time she noticed him earlier.

"Second try?" She asked challeging showing him her stake. He hardly moved a muscle in his face.

"I beat you remember?"

She titled her head still with a challeging look in her eyes. "Almost...and yeah...I remember, vaguley."

He walked straight up to her and took a hold of her wrist and spinned it around to her back, locking her in a firm grip. She resisted but to no use.

"What's this?" She asked bored and then looked over her shoulder when she heard the sound of him handcuffing her. She glanced up at him. "A little early for kinks? Wouldn't you say?" She grinned but he didn't seem amused.

"I just want to talk. Had a feeling you wouldn't want to do that any other way."

She rolled her eyes with a superior face expression. "Well come on then vamp boy, lets have a 'talk'"

He started to lead her down the street. "Actually, I thought we'd talk at home." He said and took her to the Hyperion.
