*Indicates thought*
They stood there in each other's embrace for several seconds when Faith suddenly pulled away. "This isn't right, B. We can't do this," Faith said and it seemed she had only just realized her actions.
"What do you mean, Faith? We didn't do anything wrong," Buffy said and was obviously confused.
"No, Buffy. I can't. Please just understand that I cannot do this," said Faith pleadingly.
"Fine, we don't have to do anything now, we can slow down," Buffy said.
"Thank you," said Faith, but she had no intention of doing anything further. She couldn't. Buffy deserved much more.
"So I guess I should tell you about the First then," Buffy said changing the subject.
"Yeah, good idea. Angel told me a little like what it is and stuff, but what had happened with it recently?" Faith asked as relief flooded through her at not having to talk more about her and Buffy's relationship.
"Well, um, not much has really happened recently except for this really creepy preacher guy named Caleb has teamed up this the First and is trying to kill us too and he is really strong and I don't know what to do and I don't want the potentials to get hurt, but I need them and I don't want my friends to get hurt, but they refuse to stand on the sidelines and everything is so overwhelming and I'm babbling like Willow does sometimes now," Buffy concluded taking in a giant breath.
Faith smiled and thought, *It's so cute when she does that. Wait no Faith. None of that Faith, * Bad girl, stop thinking that and her smile quickly faded and she looked at the floor.
"So that's about it so far, did I mention I don't know what to do?" Buffy asked.
"Don't worry, Buffy. Thing's will turn out good like they always do. And I'm here now so I can help you fight. Don't worry about Willow and Xander and all of them, they'll be ok, they can take care of themselves and with you protecting them, no one can get to them," Faith said never removing her eyes from the floor.
"Thanks, Faith. I'm glad you're here. I hope that you are too," Buffy said this time moving her eyes to the floor mirroring what Faith was doing.
"Yeah, B. I'm thrilled, but we should probably go and patrol," said Faith changing the subject, because she was afraid it would lead to kissing again.
"Yeah, good idea. Did Angel tell you about the Bringers?" Buffy asked Faith.
"Yes. He said they were pretty nasty," said Faith.
"Yeah they are. Here's an axe. The easiest way to kill them is to cut off their head," Buffy said handing Faith a very worn axe. They walked out of the room and joined the rest of the group in the living room much to the relief of Faith and Buffy who were both having trouble keeping their hands off of one another.
"Hey, guys. I filled Faith in on our situation. We're gonna go patrolling, bye guys," Buffy said beginning to walk out the door when Faith stopped her.
"I think we should bring some of the potentials along, they could learn something," Faith said, but the real reason she wanted to bring someone was so she wasn't alone with Buffy. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself.
"Um, ok, I guess. Let's just bring Kennedy, she can teach them what she learned later. Well, do you want to come Kennedy?" asked Buffy.
"Yeah! I'd love to!" exclaimed Kennedy, but then felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Baby, I don't want you to get hurt. Please don't go," Willow said worry evident in her face.
"OK, hon. Sorry, guys, I can't go," Kennedy said looking adoringly at Willow.
"OK, let's go, Faith," Buffy said, but before she could leave Faith said, "Hey Angel, hey Spike. Want to come?" Faith said becoming desperate.
"Yeah, OK, nothing fun here anyway," Spike said walking out the front door.
"Sure," said Angel simply. They left and an uncomfortable silence settled between them. Faith realized that it wasn't a very good decision to have Angel and Spike, two of Buffy's former lovers, and in Spike's case more recent, come with them.
Buffy was thinking the same thing. She was so happy that Faith felt the same and that they kissed and then Faith told her to slow down. It was kind of funny, Ms. "Get some, get gone" wanted to go slow. Buffy would wait for her forever if she had to. It was different with Faith than it was with Spike and Angel. She now realized it was much deeper. Then Buffy realized how hard it was going to be to tell Spike that she was in love with someone else. And a girl, now that was going to blow his mind even more. He would probably think it was Angel. What would he say? Would he become violent? Would he think the sex was so bad that I became a lesbian? All of those would probably apply knowing Spike.
She was jarred from her thoughts by several Bringers suddenly jumping from the bushes. It was so sudden that none of them had time to react. Then Caleb stepped from the shadows.
Author's note: MUA HA HA HA! Yes I did another cliffhanger. No one is reviewing so instead of discontinuing I decided to torture you guys. Sorry to the people who did review. YOU GUYS ROCK! I also got reviews saying before last chapter I wasn't going fast enough and then I wrote last chapter and sped things up between Buffy and Faith and then I got reviews saying I'm going too fast now. So I made Faith pull away and I tried to meet you guys half way. Oh, and sorry about homicidal Willow, I figured that's how she would react at first. Oh, and for those of you who want to know what was happening with the first, I did this chapter for you. So please review, I guess. Please no flames; it sucks to get those. Laterz.
