Chapter 7

They were all out patrolling over a week later and they were making progress with the past Buffy and Spike. They seemed to be talking a lot more lately like they were friends and they weren't fighting each other as much. "So, are you sure I can't tell Giles and my friends?" Past Buffy asked herself.

"I don't think we should get anyone else involved. I just don't feel like explaining everything. You know how Giles is; he'll ask too many questions that I probably wouldn't know how to answer. We already changed a lot already." Future Buffy told her.

"I thought you came here to change everything." Past Buffy asked.

"We came here to change everything between you two. I don't know about changing things for the others." Past Buffy nodded accepting her answer. They continued walking when they were jumped by a group of red demons. Future Buffy kicked one of them off of her and looked at the others dealing with their demons. She saw that there were three of them. She grabbed the axe that she was holding and sliced off the head of the demon close to her and saw her Spike get thrown into a tombstone causing him to hit his head. She decided to help the other two out because they seemed to be having trouble. She was about to go to them when another demon came out of no where and attacked her. Past Spike broke the neck of the demon he was fighting and checked on Buffy who was having trouble with her's. He noticed the demon had razor sharp claws and was about to slice her. Without even thinking, Spike went to her and pushed her out of the way just as the demon's claws came down and sliced him in the abdomen. He cried out and fell down.

"Spike!" Past Buffy yelled as she went to his side. The demon came towards her and was about to attack her when future Buffy showed up and sliced the head off too before it could get to them. She kneeled down beside past Spike when future Spike showed up also after missing everything.

"He'll be fine. The scratches aren't that deep, can you move?" Future Buffy asked him and he nodded.

"Yeah, I don't seem to be paralyzed or anything." He said as he sat up. Past Buffy then threw herself into his arms and hugged him. "I am still in a bit of pain though." He told her and she pulled away.

"Sorry, are you sure you're okay?" She asked him and he nodded.

"Yeah, it's nice to see that you care though." Buffy blushed a little.

"Well, you did kinda save me back there. Why did you?" Spike shrugged.

"I guess I got used to having you around." She smiled at him.

"Thanks," she replied as she moved closer to him and gave him a kiss on the lips. Spike was surprised at first and then started to kiss her back. He wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her closer to him. Future Buffy and Spike were looking at each other then back at them, neither one could keep the smile off of their faces. Past Buffy then broke the kiss and helped him onto his feet and he seemed to be at a loss for words. "So, that was fun." She claimed and they looked at her like she suddenly grew a second head. "Well, not the demon part." She mumbled. Future Buffy smiled and put her arm around the girl as they headed out of the cemetery. Past Spike was still in a daze and future Spike decided to walk with him. Future Spike waved his hand in front of his face to get his attention.

"You still in there, mate?" He asked him and past Spike seemed to break out of his reverie and looked at him.

"Yeah, that was just...wow." Future Spike smiled at him.

"Yeah, it only gets better from there." Past Spike returned his smile.

"Well, I'm up for a challenge." They looked ahead and noticed that they didn't see the girls. They kept walking when they heard a scream and then broke into a run. They came across future Buffy who was on the ground. When future Spike got to her he noticed that she was hit on the head by something.

"Buffy, are you okay? What happened?" He asked her with panic in his voice. She looked into his eyes.

"I'm not sure, it all happened so fast." Past Spike then looked around and noticed that he didn't see his Buffy anywhere.

"Where's the other Buffy?" He asked her. She looked around and noticed that she didn't see her younger self either. She then started to remember what happened and her eyes got big when realization hit her.

"Oh god! He took her." She stated before she passed out.
