Chapter 6
Buffy smiled when she walked into the kitchen and found Spike and Leslie talking and laughing. "Hope I'm not interrupting anything." She said and they turned to look at her.
"Not at all, you training the girls?" Spike asked and Buffy nodded.
"Yeah, decided that we would do it in the backyard today. There's more room." The girls then all came in the kitchen and followed Buffy outside. Spike watched them go and got up to watch them through the window, avoiding the sunlight that shined through. He sighed as he watched them. Leslie got up also and went next to him. She didn't know what was wrong with him until she saw him staring at Buffy and she could take a guess.
"Do you wish you could be out there?" Spike looked at her.
"Why would I want that? Be a bit hard what with my sun allergy and all." He said.
"I mean if there was a way for you to become human. Would you want that?" Spike shook his head.
"I like being a vampire. Besides, why would I want to be a human again? You know what I was like as one." Leslie rolled her eyes.
"I'm not convinced. I think you would want to." Spike looked at her.
"Why?" Leslie looked past him and pointed at Buffy.
"For her." Spike looked at Buffy also.
"I got a bloody soul for her; you would think that would be enough." He said.
"Maybe, but I think you want more. Like being with her in the sunlight." Spike gave a faint smile.
"I saw her in the sunlight once, but I was too busy trying to kill her at the time to really notice." He said as he turned away from the window. "I guess it would be nice, but it's not possible." He said as he walked back to the basement. Leslie watched him go and thought about it when she walked into the living room to find Willow looking through some books.
"Find anything?" She asked and Willow looked up at her.
"Not yet. I can't seem to find anything about reversing immortality, but give it time. I still have other books to check out." Leslie nodded and headed upstairs. She went into the bathroom and forgot to close the door as she looked in the mirror. She pulled her hair out of the way and saw the bite marks on her neck that were still there. That seemed to be the only thing that wouldn't heal very fast. She touched them lightly and let her hair fall back in place to cover them. She took one more look at her reflection before she turned around and saw Dawn standing in the doorway with her arms crossed over her chest.
"That's a nice hickey you have there." Dawn stated and Leslie looked caught.
