Chapter 13

Buffy sighed.

'Gotta love the life of a slayer. What's more fun than patrolling on a Thursday night?' She thought to herself sarcastically.

She sat atop of a gravestone, impatiently waiting for a vampire.

"How come I have to wait for the evil things come to me? Why do I always have to be the one waiting?"she said out loud, although she knew no one was there. She sure was in a grumpy mood today. She and Spike hadn't talked to each other at all since the little argument this morning. 'I miss him.' she thought.'And its all because of a stupid argument.'

Suddenly a vampire wearing punk clothing showed up with hunger in his eyes. "Slayer." he hissed.

"Vampire." Buffy said, jumping from her seat, pulling the stake out of her back pocket.

"Okay, so you want me to make this quick and just stake you or do we have to do this the hard way? Either way you're dead."

The vamp sneered. "I would think twice about what you said because you're the one who's going to die tonight." I lunged toward Buffy, trying to throw a kick at her, but Buffy instantly blocked it. She pushed him in the face, before having him cornered behind a tree. She gave him a little grim smile. "Toodles."and stuck her stake through its heart.

'Well that was a easy one.' she wiped the beads of sweat off her forehead. Buffy didn't know she was being watched.

Mike smiled to himself. He walked out from behind the big grave stone he was hiding. "Nice show you put out there." he said clapping.

Buffy stared at him, with wide eyes.

"What are you doing out here?" she asked the young man with shaggy brown hair.

"What did you see?" She knew he wasn't a vampire, he slayer senses told her so; but why was that guy smiling and clapping at her as if she was entertaining him.

"The name's Mike." he replied walking toward her. "I guess your name is Buffy."

"How do you know my name?"

"Psychic." he said grinned. " Look there's no reason to get all cautioned. I'm on your side."

"What?" Buffy said blankly, staring into Mike's eyes. His intense, beautiful, brown eyes stared back at her.

"I'm a demon-hunter. I fight demons and vampires like you."

"A demon-hunter?" Buffy repeated.

"Yeah, I know all about demons, vampires, Sunnydale being the hell mouth, etc. I even know you being the slayer."

Buffy was confused. How did this guy know all this stuff? "How?"

Mike winked at her. "Psychic, remember."

Buffy glanced at the stake laying on the ground and bent down to pick it up. "Look Mike, I don't know who you are but-"

She looked up, expecting to see his smiling face, but no one was there.

"What the hell?"

~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~~*~
"Merrick,", Buffy called, deep in thought.

"What?", Merrick asked, not looking up from his book.

"Are there such people called demon-hunters?"

Merrick looked up from his reading. "Demon-hunter?"

Buffy nodded. The memory from last night seemed to haunt her. The cute guy named Mike with his beautiful, brown eyes. Buffy frowned. Since when was Mike cute?

"Well there are people who fight demons and vampires, but it's very rare. Why do you ask?"

Buffy couldn't tell him. Mike was her secret until she had to tell him. Besides, there's no need to fret over that guy, right? "Nothing."

Merrick raised a eyebrow. "You must have a reason for asking a question like that."

"I was just wondering, you know.", she said quickly. "I've got to go." Buffy stood up, getting her books. "Talk to you later Merrick."

"Bye." he was still suspicious.

Buffy ran out of the library. Maybe Mike went to this school. She didn't know. Maybe she'd ask Willow to check it out in the computer, Willow being a computer-whiz and all. She sighed. Why did she always bump into the same person. "Hey." she said looking up at Spike.

"Hey." Spike felt as if he hadn't seen her in so long. He blurted out: "Look about yesterday morning, I'm sorry."

Buffy stared at him in surprise. "I'm the one who should be saying sorry." He smiled. God, how she missed that smile, along with his blue eyes.

"I missed you." she said softly. "I hate arguments."

Spike smiled at her. 'God, she's so beautiful.' he thought staring at her smiling, angelic face. He leaned in capturing his lips in his. Buffy was surprised at first, but kissed him back, putting her arms around his neck.

Then suddenly the bell rang, and Students swarmed out of their classes. Buffy and Spike were still lip-locking, when people started noticing them. "Who are those two?" someone whispered.

"Aww, look at those love-birds."

"Ugh. Why are people so rude, nowadays. Get a room." a girl said disgusted.

Willow and Xander walked out of their history class together. "Whoa. Look at that steamy make-out. They better stop, before Snider catches them.", Willow said.

Xander eyes went wide, noticing that familiar bleach-blonde spiked hair. "Hey its Spike!", he cried.

"What?", Willow went, getting a closer look. "It is. That blonde is probably Buffy."

Xander frowned. "It better be Buffy. If he's cheating on her, then he has me to deal with." he said in his over-protective brother tone.

Buffy and Spike finally pulled back, for air. Spike smirked, seeing her reaction on his kiss. Buffy smiled at him, but disappeared when she noticed the audience they had. Someone whistled, and they all began clapping.

Faith entered the hallways with Oz , Angel, and Darla. "How come Spike's not around anymore?" Darla asked. "Doesn't he like us?"

Faith rolled her eyes. "Darla, shut up."

"I haven't seen him around lately either." Angel answered.

"Look Spike is too busy-" Faith stopped. They all gaped at the scene before them. Buffy and Spike were making out. MAKING OUT, in the middle of the hallways. Some people ignored them, while others whistled at the couple.

"Omigod, that's Spike and-"

Faith interrupted Darla. "Buffy." she said in a quiet voice. She glared at those two, eyes full of jealousy.

"Whoa."Oz said.

"Go Spike. Its always Spike to get the hottiest girl in school.", Angel said, with a chuckle. "Man, I should've known it was a girl."

Darla and Faith both turned around to glare at him.

"Lets go." Faith said, with disgust evident in her voice.

"But what about Spike?"

"I hate to bother him, he's too busy making out with my little sister." she said.

The others glanced at each other, but didn't say anything. Sometimes it was just best, not arguing.
