The next morning everyone is sitting in the living room. Dawn is hanging on to her sister and net letting go. She had fallen asleep a while before. Kaz is leaning up against the wall by the closed blinds, Spike is next to him. Both are watching there chosen slayer not really sure how to help. Xander is sitting on the couch next to willow and Tara. Across from Buffy, Anya had gone to open the shop. Finally Xander speaks up "Maybe we should wake Dawn up so she can get to..." He stops when Buffy shakes her head no.

Buffy finally sits up and asks, "What happened?" Everyone looks at her a bit shocked though it figures she must of been very traumatized from the experience in hell.

Xander reaches across and takes her hand Buffy barley keeps her self from flinching. "Buffy don't you remember we saved you. You where in Hell all this time and we finally got you out of there." Xander says and leans forward and hugs her Willow jumps in and gives her a hug to. Buffy however is not returning the hug and gets this very bad look on her face. Spike however notices and Buffy looks at him. Kaz notices just then at the look they seem to be exchanging this knowing look. Buffy turns and looks at him with the slightest movement of her head and her face turns in to a false grin and hugs them back.

Kaz walks over to them and gently pulls Dawn back. "Listen Buffy I think you should go up and rest. I'll take Dawn to school, Xander should get to work, and Willow, you and Tara should go help Anya at the store. Spike I trust you can behave your self and make sure no one try's to throw a welcoming party for Buffy." Spike looks like he is going to say something but then realizes he would be in the house by him self with the girl he loved. Xander looks like he is about to speak up against it but Kaz puts a hand on his shoulder and squeezes till he agrees nodding his head. He then walks over and gently shakes Dawn shoulder.

Dawn looks up and looks at Buffy, she suddenly starts crying again and latches on to Buffy who must of been Dawn was not as strong as before otherwise she probably would of choked her to death with strength she was using. Almost as if she was afraid that Buffy would try to break lose and leave. "Buffy, you're still here" she says sniffling and Buffy hugs her sister she is able to not flinch at the touch this time, but you can tell she is not enjoying it. Buffy runs a hand through Dawn's hair, because after all she can not put her self first. Her sister is what matters.

"It's ok Dawnie" Buffy says pulling her closer. "Listen why don't we go up stairs and take a nap. You did really good in that fight last night, and well we should relax." Buffy says standing up and Dawn nods going with her. They head up stairs and for a second you can see the hurt in Kaz's eyes. However he slightly shakes his head to clear it up. Spike notices but why the bloody hell would he care about what the idiot kid did, or felt. That is as long as he didn't hurt lil bit. Cause if she was hurt that would hurt Buffy and there was no way that was going to happen. Slowly everyone trickles out Leaving Kaz on one fall and Spike on the other both starring straight at the other but not knowing that the other person was there.

Finally Kaz speaks up startling Spike, not that Spike would admit it of course. "Spike do you really think things where as bad for her as we thought?" Kaz asks now looking at the ground.

Spike shrugs his shoulders and says, "Why the Bloody hell would I care?" Spike asks him and they just stay there till Spike heads over to the kitchen but stops and turns to Kaz. "There's something she ain't saying, if that helps" He says and vanishes in to the kitchen to get some blood he leaves at the house now since he had been spending a lot of time over there lately. Kaz nods and walks over to the window looking outside. Finally he goes upstairs to Dawn's room to grab a couple hours of shut eye figuring that he would patrol later but not expecting much after the demon attack form the night before. When Kaz gets to Dawn's room he walks over to her dresser and on her mirror you can see pictures of the gang. Kaz pulls one out and it's of him and Dawn making out. Willow had taken that one surprising them both, the where in the magic shop storage room. They had been very surprised to say the least but this was his favorite picture. He slipped it in to his pocket and dove on to the bed moving it a couple inches.

Surprised Kaz shrugs his shoulders and leans over to pull him self-back over when he notices something. It was a necklace, and e had seen it in the magic shop. What was Dawn doing with it? Kaz got up deciding to go and ask her. As he knocked on the door he said "Hey Dawn can you..." However he stops when he looks inside. Dawn and Buffy are holding each other both fast asleep. Kaz smiles and walks in pulling the blanket over them and walks to the doorway barley stopping him self from jumping when Spike is standing there. In a whisper voice Kaz asks, "What the hell are you watching them sleep for?"

Spike raises a eyebrow and makes a quiet motion with a grin spreading over his face. "Don't worry about it I'm not after lil bit one Summer is more than enough for me" He says his voice a bit louder but still trying not to wake them up. "Besides bit is happy with you, and that makes the slayer happy. Well it usually does." He says and Kaz hits him in the stomach where a Demon had put a sword through earlier making Spike flinch as Kaz crashes on to Dawns bed dropping the necklace, Spike however catches a glance and smirks picking it up He then puts it under the bed, knowing what a heavy sleeper Kaz really is.
