Everyone was gathered in the library it was after school. Willow and Xander were seated at the table in the center of the room. Giles was at his desk. Spike was standing next to a book shelf. Buffy was next to the table that her friends occupied. She had just explained what she found out in her little trip to the bathroom.
"So any ideas of what this thing could be?" Buffy asked.
"I don't know Buffy. We don't have a lot of information, to identify a possible demon. Or if it is a demon for that matter," Giles told her.
"Do you think it could be something a student did or uh, an accident?" Willow asked.
"I really don't think its an accident. But who knows about the student doing something," Buffy replied.
"Do you who's the student that is dead?" Xander questioned.
"No," Buffy said slowly. "Body, was already gone," she added.
"Okay. If we knew the person, then maybe we could, uh find out who killed him. Find out if she had problems with some other student," Willow suggested.
"Good idea, Will," Buffy smiled.
"So how do we find out who's the person?" Xander asked.
"Giles," Buffy said. Xander looked at her confused. "Giles? He's not dead. Unless, right now he's undead," Xander said.
"I mean, he can get into the school office and records and stuff. He can find out info about the dead person," Buffy explained.
"Oh, yeah," Xander agreed. Willow nodded agreeing with that plan.
"Giles do you think you can do that?" Buffy asked her Watcher.
"Buffy, I think that your plan may have faults. What if I can't find anything and I get caught?" Giles said.
"C'mon Giles. It's the best plan we got so far," Buffy said Giles considered this for a moment.
"It isn't the only idea," Willow said.
"You got another one?" Buffy asked.
Willow nodded. "I could uh, hack into the school computer records," Willow suggested.
"You could do that?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah, Willow admitted blushing slightly.
"Ok, I think we should do that plan, how about you guys?" Xander asked.
Giles agreed.
"Ok, it's settled. We'll do some research and then find out if there's some slaying to do," Buffy smiled.
"Ok, then well I'm off," Spike said. This whole time he had just been listening and studying them.
"Aren't you going to help?" Buffy questioned him. She knew researching was boring, but he was a Watcher. Watchers love this kinda thing.
"William, I believe it would be better if you helped us out. That's what you're here for," his father said forcefully.
"You don't need my help. 'Sides, I'll help soon as you find out who did the killing," Spike said.
" Fine, but be here at 8," Giles said sharply.
Spike nodded in agreement as he left the library.
"What's going on at 8? You guy's having a Watcher party and not inviting me?" Buffy asked curious.
"No, it's not a party. And you are not excluded. In fact, you were always invited. You are supposed to be there," Giles informed her.
"I'm?" Buffy raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, it's your training. William is going to be there. To study about the methods used to train Slayers," Giles said.
"Oh, yeah the training. I guess I forgot that. Can't wait," she said sarcastically.* Another training session. Yay, me. Great, Watcher guy is gonna be there,* she thought bitterly.
Willow had already started working on the research. "Hey, you guys I found something," she said excitedly.
Buffy and Giles came to where Willow was. They regarded the computer screen.
"Melissa Evans, has been killed by unknown means. Possible suicide or killed by another student," Buffy read aloud.
"Ok, we got that name," Xander said as he looked at the picture of the girl.
"Well, she hasn't had trouble with anyone. She was an okay student. Average," Willow said.
"Ok, this doesn't make sense. Who could have killed her?" Buffy asked.
"This is rather strange," Giles said.
"Are there any types of water demons?" Buffy asked.
"Yes, several. I recall some of them," Giles said.
Giles went to where he had stored his personal books and returned with several of them. He laid them in the table.
"These are some of the books I have on demons. I think most of them deal with a demon of a particular element or nature," Giles said.
"Ok, let's get with the research," Xander said.
"I'll check online, k?" Willow said. Buffy nodded.
Xander grabbed a book and sat down. Buffy grabbed a book and sat along side Xander. Xander looked at the book for about ten minutes and then said, "How come, Watcher boy, doesn't need to research?" he asked Buffy.
"I don't know. Maybe he has something to do," Buffy said.
"I thought he was suppose to be helpful. So far, he hasn't done anything helpful," Xander said as he continued looking through the book.
"Do you think it's maybe a valark demon?" Buffy said as she pointed to the picture of the demon.
"Nah, it says here it's a fire demon," Xander said.
An hour later they still hadn't found any thing out. They had ruled it to be either one of five possible water demons.
"Great, we still don't know for sure what kind of demon it is," Buffy said.
"Don't worry Buff, we'll figure it out," Xander said.
"I'm gonna call it quits for now. I'm going home now," he said.
"Ooh, me too, Wait up Xander," Willow said as she shut down the computer.
"See ya Buffy," they called out as they left together.
"Looks, like I'll be back later," Buffy said as she stood up.
"Okay, Buffy. I expect you to be here promptly at 8. It is important that you take your training seriously," Giles said.
"Yeah, I know. Great destiny and all," Buffy said as she left the library.
"So when's the Slayer getting here?" Spike asked.
" Soon," Giles said as he eyed the clock. It was already 8 and he was wondering why she wasn't here. Of course there was no reason to worry. He shouldn't have expected her to be right on time. It was not likely that she would be on time.
Ten minutes later, Buffy strolled in the library. "Hey, sorry I'm late. Got sidetracked by a few vamps," Buffy said. She was carrying a training bag.It was obvious that she was a bit sweaty. A clue that she indeed had been in a fight.
"Did you have a tough time fighting them?" Giles asked.
"It was a no big. There were three of them. Nothing I couldn't handle," she reassured Giles.
"Very well then.. I shall get the weapons out," Giles said. He went off to retrieve the weapons leaving Spike and Buffy alone.
"So, love had a bit of rough and tumble," Spike asked.
"It wasn't really that big deal of a fight. Just regular old Sunnydale vamps," she smiled. "Father, here informed you guys thinking a water demon killed the girl," Spike said.
"Yeah. We still don't know which one. But I think it's some kind of demon. Highschool is above the hell mouth after all, weird stuff is bound to happen," Buffy said.
Spike agreed. They were silent for a moment. *Now, he isn't getting on my nerves, I guess that's a good thing. Let's see how long that'll last,* she thought.
Giles returned with two swords and some stakes. Buffy eyed the swords. They seemed to be kept in good condition. They were nicely polished. The tip of the blade gleamed with the light.
"So what are we doing first?" Buffy asked.
"First, warming up as usual," Giles told her.
"Ok, I'll change in the bathroom. I'll be right back," Buffy said as she took her bag with her training stuff in it.
Buffy returned shortly. She first stretched her arms. First her right arm then her left. She felt kind of nervous since Spike was here watching her. She felt uneasy as she felt his eyes on her.
Spike studied the Slayer as she warmed up. She was stretching. He noticed the way she acted as if she were concentrating really hard on what she was doing. He wondered what she was thinking. She was wearing a light blue tank top and some gray sweats.
She was doing some flips and jumps. She did a back flip with ease. *She's really graceful* he though. She moved with all the natural ease and grace of the Slayer. She was really agile. She had finished warming up and now it was time for the real work out to begin.
"Ok, I brought some swords out to practice your swordsmanship," Giles told her.
"Ooh yay, sharp pointy things that aren't wooden. Sounds good to me," Buffy said.
Giles handed her a sword. The tip was covered by something so that it wouldn't actually cut. Buffy noticed this and frowned.
"So much for pointy," she pouted.
Spike grinned at the way she pouted. *She's cute when she does that,* he thought.
Giles had the other sword. The Watcher and Slayer stood in the middle of the room. "When I'm going to get in to the action?" Spike asked. "First, you watch," his father answered.
Giles was the first start to engage the fencing. He aimed for her face but she parred the blow. They kept going at it for a few minutes in the end Buffy beat him.
Giles was tired by the end of this.
"C'mon Giles, one more round," she begged.
"I have had enough. You did okay for this time, but you still need more practice," Giles told her.
"I'll have a go, with you Slayer if Pops, here doesn't mind," Spike said.
Buffy looked at Giles expectantly. Giles sighed and said, "Fine, now you can battle."
