Part 9
"Hello children." The Brit. smiled
"What are you doing here Spike?" Angel growled
He just laughed. "Funny story that is. You see I was out on a hunt when I saw Riley out walking around. He was upset over something and being the caring person, excuse me, vamp I am, I asked him what was wrong. You know what he said?"
"No, but I bet you're going to tell us." Buffy glared
"He said that you pet, had just broken up with him for Angel! Now, on one hand he was very mad but on the other hand he said he understood. Angel was your first love after all. What he was worried about though, is how he acted on the phone to you. He said that he felt really bad about what he said and as soon as he saw you he was going to apologize and wish you and Angel the best of luck."
Angel advanced towards Spike with a stake in hand. "That still doesn't answer the question why you're here."
Spikes smile turned into pure evil. "I asked Riley right before I left if he wished he could just fight you right then and there. Seek a bit of revenge, you know? He said he would like nothing better then to get revenge, but he wasn't about to do it." Buffy dropped her stake tears in here eyes, with the realization of what Spike had done. "So, I killed him, promising to get his revenge for him."
"No." Buffy whispered as she dropped to her knees.
Spike walked over to her and knelt before her. "That's right cutie. Your ex lover is worm food."
Buffy looked up at him. Tears streaming down her face. "You bastard."
"Oh! Such foul language slayer!" Spike stood. "By the way, he was very good. Went down nice and slow."
That did it. Buffy stood up and threw herself at Spike and the battle begun. Angel took some of Spikes minions out with the help of the rest of the gang around the office. Arrows flew and vampires turned to dust as blood spilled form the others. Spike and Buffy were unaware of all this though. Kicking, punching and anything else Buffy could think of she unleashed to Spike. True, she never really did love Riley, but he didn't deserve to die. Especially by the hands of Spike. Her rage was building and just when she thought she had him he spoke. "I hear my sire is human huh?" Buffy just kept kicking. After a blow to his stomach he gasped out. "So that means the knife that is stuck into his side right now could kill him." Buffy quickly turned around and looked around the room everyone was still fighting except for a passed out Angel.
"Oh God. Angel."
"That's right pet. Your lover boy is hurt." And with that Spike jabbed the forgotten stake on the floor into Buffy's lower back. She screamed in pain not knowing what had happened. Spike pulled the piece of wood out and turned her around. "Now, if you'll excuse me. I have to go make revenge for Riley." Buffy was dropped to the ground and Spike walked over to where Angel was. Spike picked the now conscious Angel up off the floor and vamped out. "Isn't this ironic? You turned me, now I'm going to turn you."
"Over my dead body." Spike dropped Angel and spun around just in time to get a stack in his heart. "Nobody messes with my boyfriend." Buffy smiled and Spike was dust.
Buffy quickly went down to Angel's side. "Are you ok?" He barley whispered.
She nodded, tears rolling down her cheeks. "How about you."
Angel reached his hand up to wipe away her tears. "I love you." He said right before he passed out.
Part 10
"How 'ya holding up?"
It was a cool breezy night. Both Willow and Buffy sat in the graveyard looking at the fresh grave. Things seemed so much different now that they were back in Sunnydale. After the fight, Buffy helped get Angel in bed and then left. He wasn't even conscious when she departed. There were things that needed taken care of right away. Riley's body for one, and she had to calm her mother down after disappearing like that.
"He was an innocent in all this." Buffy shook her head "I should have killed Spike years ago. If I did then maybe."
"Maybe Angel wouldn't be human right now. Changing one thing in your past changes a lot of things in your future." Willow said. They were quiet for a moment longer. "I guess the prophecy was wrong. Light didn't die."
Buffy shook her head. "I could have died. If I did one wrong move, Spike could have killed me." She sighed and then laughed "Light will die from jealousy" she quoted. "Riley wasn't evil, he was good and therefor part of Light. His own jealousy killed him." She looked at Willow. "I guess the prophecy wasn't so wrong after all."
"Guess not."
Buffy looked up into the now light sky. "I better head back to LA. I think Angel is going to already be upset that I left without him even knowing. Or even being awake for that matter."
Willow smiled "You two back together?"
"I don' know. I guess we'll just have to wait and see."
"Cordelia where is she?"
"Angel for the millionth time, she had to go back to Sunnydale. Now please sit down, your still hurt pretty bad and."
"She could be hurt or."
"THAT'S IT! Either you sit down or I'm going to have to imply force and you don't want that."
"What's going on here."
Cordelia turned around. "Buffy! Thank God! Maybe you can make him sit down." The she turned to glare at her boss and left.
"Where have you been?" Angel exclaimed
"Hi to you too!"
"I'm sorry, it's just."he sighed "I wake up again in pain, I have no idea what's going on, and you're gone. I don't know if your hurt or even dead and."
Buffy strolled up to him quickly and pressed her lips to his. "Cordelias right you know? You should be resting."
Angel gave her a smile, all his worries forgotten, and tossed her on the bed. "Resting isn't exactly what I had in mind." Then he leaned forward and caught her in a passionate kiss. Buffy rolled over on top of him.
"Rest." She said
Angel smiled and kissed her some more. "Maybe later." He answered in- between kisses.
Later that night, both warriors lay wrapped in each other's arms, exhausted from their day's activities. Neither one of them worrying about a soul or a certain counterpart demon. Both just looking into each other's eyes lovingly.
"Are you going to rest now?" Buffy asked pleadingly
Angel leaned in for a kiss. "You still my girl?"
"Always." She breathed, and both lover met with a single kiss and fell asleep in each others arms to become one, once again.
