Chapter 2 - The Naked Truth

Buffy awoke to the loud sound of the door bell piercing through the air. She groaned and rolled over burying her head deep within her pillow. She knew it could be either Giles or Xander with Anya clinging to his arm. She hoped it just didn't involve her. Yeah that's going to happen. After a few minutes of trying to fully wake up a knock came to her door.

"What?" Buffy groaned out, throwing her pillow from her face to the floor.

"It's Willow. Giles is here; something about an apocalypse."

"Another one?" Buffy moaned hoping it had reached the other side of the door.

"Yep." Willow said with a satisfied smile hoping that Buffy would find it somewhat amusing.

Buffy yelled back, "I'll be down soon."

With that Willow left to give Buffy some peace. Buffy grumbled as she got up and stumbled over to her closet. Pulling back the doors Buffy quickly scanned her closet till she found a white button-up top and a black leather skirt that she loved. Pulling them out, she quickly dressed before heading down stairs to hear the latest big bad news.

Buffy walked down the stairs in middle of pulling her hair into a pony tail. Anya, Xander and Giles were sitting on the couch while Willow was sitting in a chair with Tara standing next to her. Buffy just stood in front of the unplugged television with her arms crossed.

"So what's going on in Demonville now that we have to know of?" she said yawning.

"Well..." Giles started as he adjusted his wire frame glasses, "apparently there is a new demon in town who is extremely strong. She took out an entire demon bar the other night. There was one witness heard babbling to his friends about the incident so I asked him what happened. He was able to tell me the entire story with ease. We still don't know much, so I contacted the council and they're going to research it and call me back."

Willow spoke up. "Why are we so concerned with this?" Willow asked as she held Tara's hand.
Buffy wanted to know the same thing so she nodded her head in agreement.

"Well, normally I wouldn't concern myself with this matter. It doesn't seem that important at this point, but the witness said she had about ten minions with her and they did everything she asked. If she's a master vampire than we really should know about her."

Buffy agreed. "Yeah it's good to have a heads up on the competition."

"Buffy." Giles said standing up and preparing to leave. "Maybe later you can go over to Spike's and see if he has any information." Buffy nodded and Giles left.

Buffy walked Tara and Willow out as they left for school. Tara had been giving Buffy dirty looks all morning, but Buffy just shrugged them off. Thinking she was probably in bad mood, she didn't pay that much attention to them. Now that she thought about it, Tara seemed to be in a bad mood a lot lately and most of her bad attitude had been pointed in Buffy's direction.

Then again maybe she was on her monthly, so Buffy continued on. She walked into the silent cemetery; since it was noon it looked really dead. She quickly walked to Spike's crypt. She liked that she could bug him and annoy him to death and there was nothing he could do about it. Really, what's some childish immaturity between mortal enemies. She entered the crypt to find it lifeless, no one moving around. Shrugging she figured he was probably sleeping and went down to wake him. She climbed down the rope ladder and the moment she turned around her eyes widened. If someone had told her she would be looking at the scene in front of her, she would have killed them herself. Spike lay there naked; completely and utterly naked. She quickly averted her eyes started to climb up the ladder but before she made it his voice filled the air.

'How dare you say that my behavior's unacceptable'

"Well, well, well," Spike said with a smile. "Slayer get a show?" he asked, not bothering to cover himself as he walked over to her. Buffy turned around to see a naked Spike standing in front of her in all his full glory. Flushed, she went to leave but he grabbed her shoulder and shook his head.

'So condescending, unnecessarily critical'

"Nope. Not fair," he said with an evil grin.

"What are you talking about?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

'I have the tendency of getting very physical so watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle'

"Come on, Slayer it's only fair. You saw mine, I see yours." With that Buffy eyes practically snapped open.

"What! You want to see me naked! You hate me. Grrr..." she said with her arms up to make her point.

'You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here This double vision I was seeing is finally clear '

"Well, I haven't had any in a while; besides, what are you so scared of Slayer? Won't be able to control yourself around me naked."

"You're a pig, Spike."

"I know" he said with a satisfied grin. "Come on, Slayer."

'You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone Not fit to funkin' tread the ground that I am walking on '

"No."

"You're probably really ugly naked anyways; that's why Captain Cardboard left you." That statement caused rage to run through Buffy but fortunately she was able to controll it.

'When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love You'll understand what I mean when I say There's no way we're gonna give up '


"Fine!" She yelled throwing her arms up in the air. "But for the record you started all of this." she said as she reached for the buttons on her shirt. She quickly discarded her clothing and stood there in her bra and skirt. She then pulled her skirt down and stepped out of that as well. "Happy now?"

'And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams '

"Not quite," Spike said coming to standing behind her. She indeed had a very nice body. Perfect skin save a few scars and a few bruises that marred her flesh. Spike ran his fingers over a scar. Buffy trembled at that. Spike has never been able to affect her like this before. When he unsnapped her bra she continued by slipping the thin straps off her arms and letting it fall to the ground. Spike circled her again to see her front. She had prefect breasts; not to big and not to small. Spike was satisfied.

'Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe '

"Done?" she asked.

Spike nodded, "Yeah, wouldn't want to have you take off your panties and corrupt you completely would I?" Buffy rolled her eyes as Spike came up in front of her again.

'What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head. You should know better you never listened to a word I said '

"Who did that?" Spike asked moving her hair to the side to show the bite mark Angel had left only a year or two before.

"Angel" she started closing her eyes at the feel of his hands on her neck.

'Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did '

"What about this one?" he asked, running over the one on her back.

"You."

'When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love You'll understand what I mean when I say There's no way we're gonna give up'

"Me? How? Dont remember that one."

'And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe '

As soon as his hand left her body she turned around and faced him.

"Ive got to go Spike. If you ever try reverse psychology on me again I will so kick your ass."

She quickly dressed and left. She didnt like the fact that Spike could affect her the way he did. She just brushed it off to being vulnerable. Riley had JUST broke up with her. Playing a game of Ill show you mine if I show you yours wasnt exactly normal for her.

'Does it kill
Does it burn
Is it painful to learn
That it's me that has all the control
Does it thrill
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say There's no way we're gonna
give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in
her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to
breathe Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and
harder to breathe'
