wicked-angel3:I think I just might make a comedic one. I don't know when I'll have it up. But I have all day, seeing as how I'm not doing anything. And some time over the weekend. So you can look for it, lol.
a fan: I apologize, I didn't mean to offend anyone. Thank for still liking the story, though, lol.
Lisa Bartleson: Thank you =) I'm going to write a few more chapters, just to wrap things up, but I think that'll be it. I don't know about a sequel, but who knows
Karmawiccan: I'm glad it wasn't too cheesey that people stop reading...lol. That wouldn't be good. My story is very weird, isn't it? lol
Buffy was walking through the cemetery, twirling her stake. Faith had gone off on a mission that Giles had given her. One that she could handle alone. The plus side of having two Slayers, two jobs could be done at once.
Spike was back at Giles apartment with the Watchers' Council. Buffy was hesitant about leaving, but had to trust Giles and know that he wouldn't let anything bad happen to Spike.
She was just trying to hurry up with this partol and get back. So far she hadn't even met one vampire, or came across and new graves. There hadn't been any news of missing persons, and she was starting to question why she was out at all.
The sound of a branch cracking beneath someone's foot cause a smile to appear on her face. Action, just what I was looking for, she thought, turning around.
But what she saw, wasn't what she had expected. She knew this man from the picture Giles had shown her, it was Ethan Rayne.
"Ethan, what a surprise," Buffy said. "Coming to meet me alone, what a brave move."
Ethan laughed slightly. "I'm never alone my dear girl. You simply just can't see them."
Buffy looked around herself. She was nervous now, and could feel her gut telling her to get out of this situation. She knew that her gut was right, and was about to turn around and run, when she ran into something.
Looking up, she locked eyes with a pair of red ones. Her eyes trailed down the body that was several feet taller then her, and the part that was even to her eyes, was his, or what would be on a human, belly button. But this thing was far from human.
"Meet one of my many friends Slayer," Ethan said, walking up to them. "If you think he is bad..."
"He looks tough," Buffy said, backing away a little. "But it's always the cocky ones that are easy to take down."
Ethan laughed. "Don't even try to hide the fear, even I can sense it and I'm human."
"You're right," Buffy said, twirling around so fast, it was hard to see her, and grabbing him around the neck. "And if you want to live, you'll tell your demonic friend here to back off. All of them in fact."
He choked, bringing his hands up and trying to pull her off of him. "O... Okay," he said. "I can't... Breathe."
She loosened her grip, but not enough for him to escape. "Say it."
He sighed. "Don't hurt her," he said, as she walked backwards with him still in her grip. "I said it, are you going to let me go?"
She didn't say anything, but when she got to the gates of the cemetery, she threw him in front of her, and took off in the opposite direction, towards Giles apartment.

Buffy was sitting outside of Giles apartment, thinking. She hadn't gone inside, because she didn't want to interrupt the meeting with the council. And she knew if she ran in, out of breath, saying that she had lost a battle that she hadn't even bothered to start, the council would be down her throat.
Better to just sit out here, she thought. All by my lonesome. Me, myself, and I.
The door to the apartment opened and many people, all dressed in suits walked outside. Buffy stood up, and counted in her head at least ten. They all looked her up and down, while one of them continued to talk to Giles.
Buffy just returned their stares, and raised her eyebrow, wondering what they found so interesting. Is there something on my face?
The, what Buffy thought to be, leader of the council came outside, joining the group and he too looked her up and down.
"Is this some Slayer-Watcher thing I'm not aware of?" Buffy asked. "Staring the other up and down like they're immortal?"
"Miss Summers," he said. "I am Quentin Travers, head of the Watcher's Council."
"Figured," Buffy said. "You already know who I am... But I've never heard of you. Anyway, are you done with my boyfriend?" They all exchanged looks, and Buffy took this in. "Did I say something wrong?..."
Giles walked outside, just as Quentin was about to speak. "Buffy, you're back so soon."
"Yes, well..." Buffy said. "I kinda need to talk to you about that..."
"Is there a problem with your slaying?" one of Quentin's (god, I don't know what they are :P someone tell me) people asked.
"No, the slaying is going very well," Buffy said. "Very well..."
"Right then. So you can be on your way," Giles said. "Have a safe flight back to England."
Giles grabbed Buffy's arm and gently, but quickly pulled her into his apartment, closing the door while the members of the Watchers' Council still stood outside, dumbstruck.
"What is the matter?" Giles asked.
Buffy waved it off. "Later. How's Spike? Do they know just what..."
"He's half vampire," Giles said.
"But aren't all vampires sorta half vampire..." Buffy said.
"Well... He has vampire in him Buffy," Giles said, and she nodded. "The council want to send an expert in that area over here to help him out. Make sure he doesn't..."
"Have the blood lust," Buffy finished. "Giles, he's human. Well, mostly human. Right?"
"Yes. His mother being the Slayer really doesn't effect him in any way. Slayers are human."
"But we have powers that others don't," Buffy said.
"Yes, but that wasn't passed to him," Giles said.
Buffy nodded. "Where is he?"
"He left."
"What do you mean he left?" Buffy asked, angrily.
"He didn't... He took left to pick Dawn up," Giles said. "I phrased that wrong."
"So we have a minute... To talk... Alone," Buffy said, sitting down on the sofa. "The reason I'm back so soon is because I ran into your old friend, Ethan. I was patroling in the cemetery, you know... Minding my own business, when he just popped out of nowhere. We talked, I threatened. Then, his friends showed up. Or, appeared."
"Buffy, are you alright?"
"I ran," Buffy said, looking down. "I'm the Slayer and I ran."
"The first rule of slaying, don't die," he told her. "You did the right thing."
"I know," Buffy said, nodding. "But I could've at least tried to fight... Maybe he was bluffing. Maybe there was only that one."
"Could you sense more?"
Buffy nodded again.
"Then there were more. Running was the right thing to do Buffy, you must always listen to your gut," Giles said.
"So, can we make a plan so I can kill him?" Buffy asked, a little too cheery.
"Do you know where Willy's is?"
"That demon bar?" Buffy asked.
"Yes. He may know something. It's our best bet," Giles said. "I'll go..."
"No, you stay here. Spike will be back with Dawn soon. Besides, I think I'm a little more threatening then you... No offense," she said, standing. "Oh and Giles, don't tell Spike about Ethan. It's best if he doesn't know."
Giles nodded and watched as she disappeared out of the apartment.
