FEEDBACK: Yes please! I know all of you want more Spike, but I'm just gonna keep you on the edge for a little longer, trust me, it WILL be worth it. I mean you might hear a bit of him, but not all that much *winks* And I'm gonna try and stop with all the thought tracking because it's what I do when I can't think what else to write! So maybe more action in this part, if you're very lucky...

She wasn't sure where she was actually going, she just was. Not like the other night, she wasn't trying to avoid Dawn or her friends, but she wasn't sure if she was going to see Spike either. There was something calling here out and she wanted to trust her instincts.

She guessed she could patrol, she kinda needed some action, which had been thin recently, especially with Spikes aid.

/Big bleached.... stupid guy/

She giggled

/Oh man, I do have it bad for him don't I! I guess it had to be admitted sooner or later/

*****************

"Moth to a flame." He whispered to himself watching her from a corner of he cemetery. He forced himself to look elsewhere, to anything that took his mind off of the mortal girl he had taken into his heart.

She was twirling a stake between her fingers, ambling through the dark graveyard. The moonlight fell across her cheek suddenly as she passed the trees.

/Wonder what she's thinking about.....me? /

She looked up to see him. A small smile flickered across her face and walked toward him.

/ No, no..I just./

Spike turned gracefully and disappeared.

*****************

"SPIKE!!"

/You jerk, where the crap did you go? /

*****************

/I know.. I'm a vampire. But I LOVE her. I want things to be perfect between us. She doesn't know how she feels, she doesn't really know what she wants..except me/

He signed and leaned across his crypt door that he had just reached.

/That's really all it is to her. I have to be honest. But it hurts... /

He could almost cry with this realisation

He screwed up his face.

/No.. /

He thrust his crypt door open and stalked inside

/She knows I'm here. If she wants me, and in a non-sexual way, she can come here. Otherwise that's it for tonight between her and me /

*****************

"What game are you playing now?" She murmured under her breath.

Her attention was diverted when she heard a growl behind her back. She whipped round to see a fledgling vampire behind her.

"What a pretty girl, I think I'll eat you"

It growled carnally again.

"So who might I have the pleasure of killing precious?"

"You have the pleasure of being the killee of the slayer"

It looked confused and then rushed toward her.

Too easy. Block, punch, block, punch, kick, block, stake.

And poof; vampire ashes.

/Killing vampires isn't half so satisfying when you're screwing one/

She mentally sighed

/Actually... I haven't slept with him for ages. /

/Oh my god! Is this how I think! So what if I haven't had sex for a week or more! /

She looked around hoping to see Spike.

/I think.. I think I really miss him. And not just the sex. I wish he were here. /

She sniffed in the cold air.

/I could go find him? /

She shrugged her cold off.

/Yeah, I could go find him /

So, Buffy went off to find Spike.
