Summery: Major AU (B/A eventually) Angelus/Liam is a ruthless, murderous pirate until he makes the mistake of taking on one vessel and one very unusual passenger.

A/N: Thanks to all that reviewed, when I started this I never thought I'd get this many so thanks to everyone. I worked hard and got another chapter done for you. It's a lot longer then anything I have posted before which means you might have to wait a lil while longer then before for the next update, sorry.

Angelus watched the remains of the ship burn for a little while longer, and then he turned to the girl. He was still holding the chains in his hands, after a second of consideration Angelus yanked the chain and continued to drag the girl to his cabin.

When they reached the cabin Angelus released the chains and proceeded to sit on his bed, while the girl lingered near the door.

"Don't even think about leaving girl, my men well catch you before you step out of the room." Angelus sneered. With that the blond crept to the farthest corner from Angelus.

Ignoring her movements Angelus leaned back on the bed and continued to examine the girl, soon enough he reached the eyes that had captivated him before,

"So what are we to call you then eh? Me and my crew could probably think of a few good names if you don't tell us the one you prefer." The girl seemed to think about this for a moment before she dropped her eyes to the floor. Angelus took full notice of her actions this time and jumped off the bed,

"Nothing to say now is it?! You had plenty to say on that other god forsaken boat but not now! Maybe I should just make you talk!" for the second time in as many hours Angelus raised his hand to strike the girl but before he could she reached out and grabbed his wrist, "Maybe I would be more talkative if you didn't try and hit me every few minutes and maybe took a minute to be more polite in your questioning?" the girl hissed. Angelus dropped his hand and continued to sneer at the girl.

"Ah, so she does talk does she? Well then would you be so kind as to grace me with you name then Missy?" Angelus asked mockingly

The girl continued to glare at him for a minute "Fine, my name is Buffy" she stated. With that Angelus let out a roar of laughter, "Is that why you refused to tell me your name? 'cause it was that?"

Buffy rose to her full height of five and a bit feet and stuck out her chin, "It's a hell of a lot better then 'Angelus' was your mother hoping you'd turn into a girl child when she named you that?"

That stopped Angelus's laughter immediately "You have fire girl, maybe to much of it!" Buffy just continued to glare at him.

With that Angelus turned back to his bed and sat down again, "So Buffy how did a. nice. girl like you end up chained in the belly of a ship?"

Buffy gaze snapped back to Angelus from where she was watching the door, "What the hell does that have to do with you?" she spat

Angelus grinned "Just something to pass the time with miss, considering that your not leaving here any time soon I just thought that maybe you'd want something to do." and with that Angelus again burst in to a fit of laughter.

"Well then if you want something to "do" why don't you start by telling me where the hell I am and why your so important that I must tell you 'my' life story." Buffy retorted and then she finally flopped down into the only chair in the room and smiled devilishly at Angelus who was staring at Buffy like she had grown an extra head.

"You mean to tell me that you have never heard of ME or my ship AT ALL!!" Angelus practically whined. This caused Buffy to start laughing she realised that she had hurt Angelus's pride probably for the first time in many years. So she figured she would use that to her advantage.

"No I have never heard of YOU or your ship AT ALL, there's no way your that important or powerful, I mean if you think about it what kind of Pirate captain would be named Angelus?? You must be a shipping company or traders.." The entire time Buffy was talking she never took her eyes off of her captor and she noticed that as she talked his jaw opened farther and farther and now looked as if he was about to jump overboard.

"A..a.a..a Trader!! A TRADER??? You think that I, Angelus, would be a trader?? Are you daft girl? I am Angelus, Captain of the Hell's Demon the most powerful ship in these waters nigh the most powerful ship in the world!"

Buffy's eyes grew wide and she watched Angelus in shock before laughing out right "Of course you are next thing you'll tell me is that you travel with the Black Pearl and are best friends with Jack Sparrow!!"

Angelus jumped off his bed and lunged at Buffy slamming his hands on to the arm rests of the chair caging her in. "First off The Black Pearl never existed it was a story made up to tell silly little rich children to make then fear Pirates and secondly I am who I say I am and if you want conformation I will throw you out of this room for my crew to convince you but I tell you they will not treat you as well as I have!"

Buffy tried her best not to shrink back when Angelus yelled at her but it had been hard. She now was looking into his eyes which were only a few centimetres from her own. "Fine" she muttered angrily "Your who you say you are, now will you get away from me!" and with that she raised her knee and slammed it into Angelus's stomach.

Angelus grabbed his stomach and stumbled backwards until he sat on his bad again. Taking a few deep breaths he returned his attention to the girl. "You think you are tough don't you? Well you can think that way for now" he said with a crooked grin "Now it's your turn, I told you my story now you tell me yours"

Buffy watched Angelus for a moment before decided to tell her story, "What the hell" she muttered to her self, and with that she started her story.

"I grew up in one of the many large towns in England. My father had been the governor and all around owner of New Raven until he died when I was thirteen. Then it was just myself and my older brother, Riley, who wasn't that smart and wasn't around very much since he had to take over for my father. So I spent a lot of time just running around the town and learning how to take care of my self since I knew that Riley wouldn't, he would rather kill me to get me out of the way then look after me."

With that Angelus gave a little growl, which Buffy pretended not to notice.

"So on my eighteenth birthday that 'dear' brother of mine announced that he had made an agreement with governor of the neighbouring town that he would let Riley have his smaller town with out any fighting if his oldest son would marry me. Riley gave me no choice since the wedding was to be held the next day with out my consent. The man I was to marry was named Parker and when I met him I knew he was just like my brother, a lying, scheming, dirty rat and I knew I couldn't trust him either.

Even with my reservations I had no choice and I married him. But I had a surprise in store for him when he came to me on our wedding night I took his dagger when he was undressing and when he turned around I shoved it right through his chest. Knowing that I couldn't leave it at that I changed my clothing to something I could travel in and packed a bag and left the town. While I was trying to leave Riley caught me and gave chase." at this Buffy started to laugh and had to calm down before continuing, "He never made it back to New Raven, but I hear that they did find his torso floating in the river several days later."

Angelus had been listening intently the entire time and when he heard this he realised that he admired her for her actions, "But then how did you end up chained to the other boat?" Angelus asked suspiciously

Buffy rolled her eyes "I told you that I spent most of my time running around New Raven right? Well I had connections with a few people and one of them owned their own boat and Trading Company he offered to help me get away after the deaths and I agreed, we hadn't gotten that far when the Sea Goblin just appeared out of no where, as expected they killed everyone on board just like you did but my friend and I had jumped over board to try and get away, well we didn't get to far before they saw us and fetched us from the sea. They killed my friend instantly but decided that I was worth keeping around and the captain tried to make me his, wait this sounds so familiar. anyways after a few weeks and a few dead crew members the Captain chained me in the cargo hold because he said killing me would be a waste and I could still be used if only to sell me to a slave trader.

So I just sat in the hold and every time someone came near me I caused as much pain as I could, I do believe one man even lost his ear, but they learned to leave me alone after awhile, and being men and all it took them a long time to come to that conclusion." Buffy finished with a grin of satisfaction.

Angelus who was greatly impressed started laughing hard "I guess I will have to watch you more closely then won't I little warrior?" he said in between laughter before he passed out on the bed.
