Buffy walks slowly to the cemetery trying to work out in her head what she was going to do. Why Social services couldn't let her be, or let her be with Giles. Anywhere but Spikes', but her mom's will stated she was to go to the O'Connor's. She sighed loudly and went and sat on a tomb stone. She pulled out the stake and looked at the newly laid ground. She spoke aloud "Wake up already, I don't have all night." Of course nothing happened. She was suddenly aware of someone watching her, the back of her neck was prickling but not like a vampire so she knew it wasn't of the demon variety. She looked around and her keen eyes picked up movement to her left.

She walked slowly over to where the person was hiding and she caught a whiff of tobacco and the very familiar scent of spike. She rolled her eyes and said "Why are you following me Spike?" He creeps out and looks at guiltily and says "Just wondering what your doing in a cemetery pet." She bites her lip and looks over her shoulder quickly and says "I don't think that is any of your business. And I'm not your pet, William!" He smirks and says "Well you sure about that pet?" She rolls her eyes strangely still feeling confident with him invading her space. "Leave before you get hurt?" She mutters between clenched teeth as she feels the familiar prickle on her neck. He puts his hands up and says "Oh Blondie growing a pair (he grimaces) sorry pet, automatic reaction, I just wanted to see if you ok?" She sighs and says quietly "Too late". She turns pulls the stake back out and kicks the vampire behind her. She hears Spikes "Bloody hell" but ignores it as she plunges the stake into its target.

He stares at her and the dust open mouthed and says "Bloody hell what was that?"
