Karma: Thanks for the reveiws! Remember, the more you review the more I write. Now, about the whole Spike's sire thing. In my story Angelus was Spike's sire because in 'School Hard' Spike says, "You were my sire, man. You- you were my yoda." Therefore in my stories Dru is not Spike's sire. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but to me it makes more sense with Angel being Spike's sire.

Hours later, Phoebe and Spike lay interjoined together on her bed, their clothes long gone. Phoebe had never felt more pleasure in her life. She felt completely whole when she was with Spike. 'Without him near me, I don't think I'd be me, I'd be lost without him. If I was truly in love with Cole, why didn't it ever feel like this? Why didn't it ever feel so completely perfect? I've only known Spike for less than a day and I already feel like I've known him my entire life' She could feel Spike licking the wound he had made on her neck during her love making. 'I couldn't call it anything else but that. It scares me, to fall completely in love with someone when you only just met them, but I do. I love him already. Wow. It's scary. Weird, too. Not as weird as the fact that I didn't even feel him bite me or that him biting me felt good, but... Bad Phoebe! Getting off topic. Sigh...' As Phoebe drifted off to sleep she was vaguely aware of Spike whispering into her ear, "Mine. This mark means you are forever mine. No one else can touch you again." Without even realizing it Phoebe mumbled "Yours. Always yours." into the air so quietly that Spike almost missed it even with his super hearing. After she spoke she slid off into sleep, followed by a smiling Spike. And together they slept into the late afternoon.

Once you are truly happy everything starts to go wrong. It happened with Romeo and Juliet, Angel and Buffy, and soon it would happen to Spike and Phoebe.

"Miss Edith, the sun is about to go away. The stars say it's time for princess to get her Spikey back." Drusilla cooed to her doll. "Come, Miss Edith, Daddy is expecting us, we don't want to be late, then Daddy would punish us."

"Hey, Piper." Paige said to her sister who was currently putting jars of fresh blood into the fridge. "Uh, Piper? Planning on a blood transfusion soon?"

"Oh, Leo didn't tell you? Damn, where is he? He's not answering my calls or anything."

"Uh, Piper, the blood?"

"Oh, yes, that is for Spike." Piper said standing up and closing the door to the refrigerator.

"Come again?"

"He's a vampire, he needs to blood to drink."

"Vampire- He's still here? I thought that potion would take care of him." Paige mumbled.

"Paige, what do you mean he's still here? Paige, what did you do? You didn't come home last night." Piper asked starting to worry. 'Potions and Paige are like oil and water; they don't mix well.'

"Nothing."

"Oh, yeah? Well, what was this nothing?"

"A transportation spell, no big.

"What was it supposed to do?"

"Get Spike away from here."

"Paige! He's an innocent!"

"Anything but."

Ding Dong.

"Paige, get the door. I'll get Phoebe and Spike and we're going to have a little talk."

"Wait, why are Phoebe and Spike together?"

Ding Dong.

"Paige, door."

"Fine." Paige huffed off to answer the door as Piper went left the kitchen to go upstairs.

*****

Spike lay in Phoebe's bed watching her sleep. 'Why have I been acting like such a ponce lately? In the good old days when I was the Big Bad, she'd be drained already, maybe even turned, but lately... Bloody hell, I've been acting like pathetic William. Why didn't I see it before? I've been acting human and soulful. Unless. No- that would never had happened, I still have this bleeding chip in my head, and I wouldn't bloody well have a soul, too. Right?

*Flashback*

"Spike? Spike? Baby! Baby, god damn it answer me!" Willow ran to Spike's immobile body lying in the middle of the apartment they had been sharing for three months without Buffy or anyone else even knowing it. 'Why is Spike passed out on the floor?' Willow flipped him over to see his face. 'Goddess, he looks paler and deader than usual.

"Spike, wake up, this isn't funny anymore." She cried falling to the floor. As suddenly as she fell, she got herself into a sitting position and gathered Spike into her lap, cradling his head. "Spike, Spike." She said beginning to cry.

"Willow, baby." She heard him rasp.

"You're awake, baby what-"

"Chip..." He rasped out cutting her off. "Bloody chip... Killing me... Love you..." He rasped trailing off and passing out again.

'Oh my God. The chip's killing him. I knew there was something wrong about the headaches he was getting, but Mister Big Bad wouldn't listen to me. There's only one thing to do, and I hope this isn't the stupidest mistake ever.' Willow told herself untangling herself from Spike and moving to gather ingredients for her spell.

"There's only one option. I have to get rid of the chip."

*End Flashback*

*****

'The bloody chip was killing me? No, I just got the damn thing put in, didn't I?'

"Baby? Are you okay?" Phoebe asked Spike. She had noticed the weird look he had on his face. It was the first thing she saw when she woke up. It was scaring her. 'He's not telling me something.'

"Yeah, luv, I'm fine." Spike said kissing her.

Phoebe pulled Spike closer to her never wanting to let go.

"Hey, Pheebs?" Piper asked opening the door to Phoebe's room startled to see a kissing Phoebe and Spike on Phoebe's bed. A naked Phoebe and Spike!

"Piper!" Phoebe yelled untangling herself from Spike and looking for a blanket. "Get out!"

"Sorry," Piper, who had been staring at Spike, said. 'Bad, Piper she told herself. Married Piper.'

"Like what you see, pet?" Spike asked noticing Piper hadn't left yet.

"Piper! Out!"

"Sorry, Sorry!" Piper literally ran out of the room.

"Spike!"

"What, luv?" He asked her casually.

*****

Spike and Phoebe came down the stairs hand and hand stopping when they saw that Paige was talking to someone at the door.

"Stop here." Phoebe said motioning to a spot near the foyer where they could see and hear what Paige was saying but so the person at the door couldn't see them.

*****

"I'm sorry, who are you looking for?" Paige asked the man at the door.

"My brother, William."

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen him." Paige said trying to close the door, but the man stopped her.

"You wouldn't. He calls himself Spike now, it's part of his new identity." 'Club owner's house. Best place to look. Spikey was looking at the girl there as if he wanted to eat her which he probably did.'

"Did you say Spike?"

"So, you've seen him?"

"Um, did you want to come in?"

"No, miss. If you see him, please give me a call, don't tell him I'm looking for him though. We have an estranged relationship. Thank you." Paige watched as the man turned and walked down the block into the night.

*****

"Bloody hell, do you know what you just did, bitch?" Spike growled in full game face grabbing Paige by the neck and holding her up against the wall.

"Spike. What the hell are you doing?" Phoebe screamed at him trying to pry him away from Paige only to be swatted away by Spike.

"What the hell is going on here?" Piper asked coming into the room waving her hands to freeze Spike only to find that he wasn't freezing. "What the hell? Let Paige down. Now or I blow you up!"

"Baby. Please." Phoebe begged.

"What did I do?" Paige rasped out as Spike loosened his grip a little bit.

"You invited Angelus into the house, you bint. Not Angel, but Angelus, my crazed man-whore of a sire who likes nothing better than to torture and kill, and you invited him in! That's exactly what he wanted, why he came here!" He growled out, releasing her, watching as she slid to the floor.

"Spike." Phoebe said. Putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm going for a walk." He said whipping away from her and stalking out into the night. Leaving a very shocked trio of sisters in his wake.

*****

"Hey, Buffy, tell Willow I found him. He's in San Francisco." Angelus said into the payphone a block from the Manor. "All right. I'll see you soon." An evil grin spread across his face as he hung up the phone. "Time to kill two banes of my existence with one stone. They'll never even know what hit them."

More soon, I promise!
