Making up is Hard to Do Chapter 2-(I always thought an apology was in order.)Enjoy! Please review and check my other stories.

"Xander get the first aide kit in the bathroom," says Buffy. Xander runs to the bathroom to get the first aide kit.

"He jumped in the way. He saved Tara," says Willow as she falls to the floor. Tara hugs her and tries to comfort her.

"It's going to be okay," says Buffy. She puts pressure on his wound.

Then in a couple of minutes Buffy starts to become a blur to him and he blacks out remembering nothing.

An hour or so later he opens his eyes and sees a blue eyed man above him. He carried a cup in his hand. The wounded man still could not focus on who the man in front of him is.

"How are you mate," says the man with blue eyes. "Here drink this." He takes the cup and smells it.

Buffy is sitting on the floor packing her first aide kit supplies. She gets up and looks at the man who offers the drink to the wounded man.

"Watch him," says Buffy in a stern voice. She heads to the kitchen where Tara is walking back and forth. She sees Buffy walk in and everyone looks at her.

"Is he going to be okay?" ask Tara worry about the man's health. Buffy puts down the kit.

"I think so," says Buffy. "Xander pulled the bullet out. He seems to be breathing normally."

"I can't believe this happen," says Willow. "I mean demons I can take, but this. No, it's..."

"Natural," says Buffy looking at Willow. "It's another type of evil in this world. They never solve anything."

"At least Warren is back in jail," says Willow. Tara nods in agreement.

From the back door enters Xander. He says hi to everyone then faces Buffy. She reads his eyes and nods her head. Xander then heads into the living room. He sees a man standing over the wounded man. The man looks at Xander and Xander glares at him. The man then turns to go.

"How's your arm?" he ask Xander. Xander turns around and holds his arm that is patch up with bandages.

"I wanted to say," says Spike trying to find his words. "Thanks for being there for Buffy when I..." He stops and turns to go. Xander rolls his eyes at him and fix his eyes to the other side of the room.

"It's fine," replies Xander quickly.

"Xander," calls out the wounded man. Xander kneels down to his side.

"Giles don't move," says Xander. "You've been shot. It's pretty bad."

"Yes," says Giles trying to move. "I suddenly recall the excruciating pain when you pulled the bullet out of me." The reason for Giles being there was a coincidence. The coven told him a big evil will rise in Sunnydale and he most return to try to stop it. Giles jumps on a plane immediately to stop the evil from becoming. Unbeknownst to what type of evil he will have to over come, Giles goes to Buffy's house to tell her what he knows.

"Buffy didn't have any anesthetics," says Xander. The rest of the gang enters the room.

"If we would of left the bullet in there any longer you would have died," says Buffy increasing the dramatic tension a bit. "The ambulance wouldn't have gotten here on time."

"Thank you," says Giles to all of them with a smile. Xander pulls away allowing Tara to kneel at Giles side. She grabs his hand and gives a half smile.

"Thank you," says Tara in her soft voice. Giles smiles and hugs her. He then kisses her on the head. Xander sees Spike looking from the dinning room. He then decides to leave. Xander follows him and stops him before he opens the back door.

"Spike wait," says Xander. Spike raises an eyebrow and turns around. "What you did to Buffy...I'm not going to forget that. But Buffy believes in you. And you did help with Giles." Spike was able to get some pliers quickly so that they could pull out the bullet from Giles's gut.

"I didn't want the brit to kick the bucket," says Spike. "Although he's never been nice to me, but Buffy would feel horrible if she lost him. He's like a father to her." Xander nods his head in agreement with Spike for the first time.

"Are we actually having a moment here?" asks Xander.

"Seem so," says Spike. "Lets not ever discuss this again."

"Right," says Xander. He nods his head. A silence grew between them.

"Thanks for the pliers," says Xander.

"No problem mate," says Spike. "Well, I'm going to go."

"It's daytime Spike," says Xander.

"Yeah I know," says Spike looking at the door not wanting to go.

"You could stay," says Buffy coming into the room. She heard what Xander said and gives him a smile. Xander gives a half smile then nods his head.

"Thanks," says Spike his face facing the door. Buffy looks at Xander and he pretty much reads her mind. She wanted to be alone with Spike to talk to him. Xander rolls his eyes and glares at Spike. Spike bows his head as Xander leaves the kitchen.

"Spike," says Buffy. Spike nods his head and raises his finger to her.

"Don't say anything," says Spike. "I shouldn't even be here." He walks over to the back door and stops. Spike sighs.

"I'm sorry," says Spike. He pulls his duster over his head and runs outside. Buffy just stands there in the kitchen without saying anything. She closes the door and returns to the living room. She finds Xander at the doorway trying to listen to her and Spike's conversation. Buffy nods her head and enters the living room.

"There is a big evil," says Giles. "That's why I came. To tell you and try to stop it."

"What kind of evil Giles?" ask Willow. Xander and Buffy enter the living room.

"I don't know," says Giles. "The coven told me to go to Buffy's house and to you and Tara's room." Giles looks at Willow. Everyone looks at Willow.

"They said this specifically," says Buffy.

"Yes, they said that the starting point of the evil would begin there," says Giles. "I quickly came here then I heard a gun shot."

"That was Warren," says Xander. "He tried to kill Buffy." Giles looks at Buffy.

"He failed, " says Buffy. "Thanks to Xander here. But the second shot went to Tara and Willow's window. The bullet would of hit Tara and kill her."

"What are you getting at Buffy?" ask Willow.

"Willow you would have gotten revenge for Tara if she had died," says Buffy.

"Buff," says Xander. "Willow couldn't be evil."

"With the rage of a lost one I think one could build up enough power to do anything," says Giles. "For the one you love. I did when Jenny died."

"You think that I would have become such an evil force," says Willow in a meek voice.

"Willow, I think you could be as powerful as you want to," says Buffy. "But it's up to you to use it for good or evil."

"I guess Giles did save the world," says Xander. "Way to go Giles." Giles smiles and feels some pain as he tries to move. Everyone laughs at Xander's comment and smile at Giles.

The front door opens and Dawn comes in. She sees everyone in the living room laughing. Dawn becomes confuse then looks at each one of the scoobies.

"What?" ask Dawn.
