The sky was dark and empty without the light of the moon. Buffy made her way through the last cemetery of the night. Her eyes watched the shadows that the trees cast on the tombs. Throughout her walk, she hummed to herself so that she wouldn't get bored. Finally she came to the end of the cemetery without encountering any new fledglings.
The total count of the night had been three vamps and two demons in the previous cemeteries. Suddenly she heard the rustling of leaves nearby. She turned around, her eyes alert to any slight movement, but they didn't find anything. She looked ahead and saw the faintest movement of leaves. Cautiously she approached the bush, stake ready in her hand. Just a inch away from the bush, she peered through the leaves, catching a glimpse of something gray and rugged.
She jumped out of the bushes surprising the creature, who had obviously been feeding. What looked like blood and white hard pieces dripped from his mouth. It's teeth jutted out from the his beak like mouth, nostrils flared in anger, his eyes flashed an orange color. It's head was large and it looked like the bone from its skull caused weird horn like formations to appear.
"Sorry to interrupt, but your meal's going to be cut short."
The demon moved from his place and moved towards her. She took a glance at what the demon had been hiding, it was his food, a pile of bones, some broken while others still whole were on the ground.
The demon came right towards her, it was so fast that she that she didn't have time to move out of the way. It crushed her underneath its tremendous weight, she punched and kicked trying to move away from him. Soon she found herself losing her ability to breathe, a part of her was starting to panic, ignoring that part she used her stake to drive it into the demon's gut. It roared in anger, taking advantage of the distraction she rolled away from the demon, jumping up to her feet.
She took in a couple of deep breaths while the demon recovered from the blow. She kicked him in the mouth, it growled in annoyance and sent his tail smacking into her temple. She fell to the floor, her temple aching with the pain inflicted upon her. The demon tried to slam his body against hers, but she managed to roll away before he could do so.
She lay there on the floor regaining her breath, one of her hands slowly made its way to her temple. Her fingers touched her temple, finding it covered with her own blood. The floor moved underneath her, she knew it was the demon approaching. Slowly she got up, her back just beginning to ache, she glared at the demon. Then a dark figure appeared from the shadows and began fighting the demon.
Buffy glared at the person, realizing who it was. He was fighting really well, how could he fight so well? She thought. She hadn't seen him in two days since the Halloween incident. Soon, the demon gained the upper hand and threw him into some bushes.
She grabbed a bone from the pile and said, " Hey bone head here's your food," she slammed the bone down onto his head, beating it until it was dead. Rising from the bushes was Spike, brushing away the leaves that were on his duster.
"Why are you here? Don't you have anything else to do? Besides interrupting my slaying." she asked, crossing her arms.
"Well, this town's pretty dull, all the action is 'round 'ere you know," Spike answered. He then added, " 'Sides s'not like you own the cemetery."
Buffy frowned and said, " I my not own it officially, but it's still kinda my territory, I'm the Slayer afterall. And who in their right mind would want to spend time in the cemetery for fun?"
" Don't tell me you don't enjoy the fight?" Spike asked.
"I don't it's just a job, if it were up to me I'd be out doing normal stuff." Buffy replied.
Spike shook his head in disbelief, and said, " You do enjoy the fight, you just don't realize it yet."
"I do not," she said annoyed. " You enjoy it?" Buffy asked not quite believing him. She wondered if he always wanted to be a Watcher, not that he acted like one anyway. Giles wasn't reckless to always get in fights, but Spike did seem like that type.
"Yeah, I do among other things. I haven't seen you around much, been avoiding me have you? You're the one time kiss type huh? " Spike said looking down for a moment pretending to be hurt. He then brought his eyes back to hers, smirking.
Buffy began feeling uncomfortable, she had been dreading the moment he would mention it. She thought maybe he would about it, but apparently he didn't. "It was just a s-spell. It didn't mean anything. It wasn't me, exactly."
"Really, but you still remember it don't you? You seemed to enjoy according to my memory," Spike said, his smirk still in place.
"I did not enjoy it," she lied. The truth was she had enjoyed it and had been thinking about it for the past two days. She wasn't about to let him know that, she hated the way the words came out of his mouth all confident.
" You could have fooled me, you couldn't let go of my mouth," Spike said, grinning cockily.
"You're a pig, and I, look at the time I have to do some stuff. You know homework," she said becoming flustered. She walked away from him, in the other direction heading for the exit. She didn't sense him following.
On the walk home, she kept thinking about what he had said. How dare he know that she did enjoy it? Damn his cockiness. It was something that just immediately angered her. How could he be so sure of himself?
She looked up and noticed she was in front of her house. She walked up to the steps and entered quietly. It wasn't late, but she knew better than to slam the door or walk in loud, her mom was probably asleep. She walked up the steps, and went to her room.
As soon as she got in her room, the phone rang. She immediately answered it and settled into her bed, which was filled with many fluffy pillows.
"Hey Willow," she answered the phone, getting comfortable in her bed.
"Did you just get back from you know patrol?" her friend asked.
"Yeah, I just got back from patrolling," Buffy replied, sighing into the phone.
"Lots of baddies?" Willow asked.
"Not so much, but a certain annoyance was there." Buffy looked at her nails, which needed some nail polish.
"Who? Angel?"
"No it wasn't him. It was Spike."
"Spike?" Willow repeated. "What did he do?"
"Just the usual, getting in the way of my slaying. I think he's probably worst than Angel. He says he enjoys fighting. He's just so weird. And I hate his cockiness, argh it's so annoying talking about how I enjoyed his kiss and.." Buffy stopped remembering that she hadn't told Willow about the kiss. She suddenly felt guilty, she should have told her.
"What? A k-kiss?" Willow stammered.
"Yes," Buffy replied.
"When? I, why didn't you tell me?"
"Halloween night" she then continued to give her more details. " I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, it's just I don't know." she trailed off.
"Well, then ooh I know you'll have to make it up to me then."
"I will," Buffy promised to her best friend.
"So, uh did you enjoy it then?" Willow prompted.
"Willow!" Buffy exclaimed.
" Come on, you can tell me that's what best friends are for,"
"Yes," Buffy said in a small voice.
Willow giggled into the phone. "Was it okay, fair, average, or above average?"
"Willow!"
Willow just giggled, " You said you would make it up to me, this is just the beginning."
Buffy could just see Willow's resolve face on the other line. " It was, well above average." She admitted, glad that Willow wasn't here to see her cheeks burning.
"Oh my gosh, that's great Buffy. Oh I got an idea, why don't you and him, you know go out?"
" I don't think so. I don't even think he likes me, he just likes to annoy me."
"Come on, Buffy. He's a hottie, don't you think so?"
Buffy sighed, " Yes he's a total hottie, but.."
"You should give him a chance, maybe if uh get to know him maybe he'll be less annoying."
"I don't guarantee you anything but maybe I'll give him a chance." Buffy gave in to her friend's pleas.
Buffy could practically see Willow grinning from ear to ear. "Gotta go, time for bed." Willow said. "Bye," Buffy said and hung up the phone. She got off the bed and pulled off the covers. She doubted Willow would be right about Spike.
