A/N: Sane Dru is back!

Willow completed her walk to the Bronze in deep thought. For a reason she couldn't explain, she couldn't get Spike out of her head. Willow found herself replaying their conversation over and over in her head. Shaking her head in a vain attempt to get all Spike related thoughts out of her head, she walked into the Bronze and began to search the crowd for Xander and Jesse.

"What is it Halloween already?" The unwelcome voice cut through Willow's thoughts.

The slayer spun around to face one of her least favorite people. "Cordelia." She greeted stonily.

"Willow, who are you trying to fool? Clothes won't change you. You'll always be a loser." The brunette said evilly before walking away and joining Harmony and Aura.

Seething with anger, Willow stalked over to the bar where Xander sat.

"Hey, Xan." Willow greeted as she sat down next to him.

"Hey Wills." He responded sadly.

"You're sad. Why are you sad? You haven't been listening to country music again have you?"

"You do it once, and it becomes a thing, huh?" He shook his head. "No, Jesse broke the law of the guys."

Willow smiled. "He left you for a girl."

Xander frowned. "It's not that funny. He was hitting, unsuccessfully I might add, on Cordelia Chase when she walked over to him. Tall, dark and gorgeous. Said her name was Drusilla. What kind of name is Drusilla anyway?"

"You're just jealous cause he left you by yourself."

"Well yeah. At least I know you're not going to leave me for some girl."

Willow raised an eyebrow.

"Well, you know what I meant, and you aren't right?"

"What? Leave you for a girl?" Willow asked with a smile. "No, not at the moment."

"Wills, you knew what I meant."

The redhead just smiled at him.

"But knowing my luck, you met a guy on the way here and that's why you're late."

Willow quickly looked away.

"Willow!" Xander said in surprise.

"It's not like I meant to." She argued when she decided to look at him.

Xander was about to say something when he noticed that she was wearing a cross. "Um, Willow?" He asked as he reached for the necklace. "Aren't you Jewish?"

She looked down and blushed. "Spike gave it to me."

"Spike?" Xander asked.

Willow nodded.

"I thought you said you just met him." He said as he raised an accusatory eyebrow at Willow.

"I did, and he gave it to me."

"The first time you met him? What did he just have it stuffed in his pocket just for you?" Xander scoffed.

"Well, actually..."

Xander briefly closed his eyes. "Okay, deserted twice in one night. Once by Jesse for some one named Drusilla. And then again by you for some guy I've never met named Spike." He ran a hand through his hair. "What a night."

"Xander." Willow tried.

"Don't Willow. Just answer me this. What kind of names are Drusilla and Spike."

She shrugged. "I don't know, but they do have a nice ring when put together, don't you think?"
Jesse couldn't believe his luck. Instead of being rejected by Cordelia Chase, like he normally would be right now, he was talking to a gorgeous woman, and she didn't seem to mind at all. In Jesse's opinion, this alone was weird, but who was he to argue with luck?

"So, are you from around here?" He asked, not wanting her to leave quite yet.

Drusilla smiled. "No, but I have family here."

"But not a boyfriend, right?" Jesse asked, getting straight to the point. 'There is no way in hell she doesn't have a boyfriend. One, she's hot. Two, she's foreign, which makes her hotter. And three, she's hot.'

"I did." Drusilla said, breaking his thoughts. "But we never could quite agree on the simple things in life."

"Like what?"

"Dinner." Drusilla said with a smirk. "Would you like to have a late dinner with me?"

Jesse was in shock, he looked up at her, suddenly losing himself in her eyes. "Yeah." He said, suddenly finding himself unable to take his eyes off of her. 'How could I not see how perfect she was? I was stuck on just her hotness. How could I not see that she's everything to me?' Wordlessly, he followed Drusilla out of the Bronze.
Spike had been contemplating following the slayer again, when he smelt a familiar scent. Quietly, he stalked towards the cemetery that was nearly a block away from the Bronze. He had never forgotten that smell. The scent of innocence, roses, and fresh blood. He only knew one woman in his entire existence that smelt like that. Drusilla. But then he smelt something else. A musky marshmallowly scent. He recognized that scent, too. It had been on the slayer. Before he knew what he was doing, he was rushing into the cemetery.
"Hey, Xan?" Willow asked as she looked around the dance floor. "Wasn't Jesse standing over there with that girl?"

Xander shrugged. "They left a few minutes ago."

"Why did you tell me this?" Willow suddenly had a very bad feeling she couldn't explain in the pit of her stomach.

Again, Xander shrugged. "I didn't think it was that important."

"Well, come on." Willow said as she jumped out of her seat and then pulled Xander out of his. "I really didn't like they way she was looking at him."

"Jealous?" Xander smirked as Willow pulled him out of the Bronze.

"No. Just have a bad feeling." Willow insisted.
"Where are we going?" Jesse asked as Drusilla led him through a cemetery.

"You'll see." She said sultrily.

"But-" He began.

Drusilla suddenly stopped and pushed him up against the wall of a mausoleum. "No buts." She said kissing him.

Jesse was floored. All rational thoughts quickly left his head. Drusilla smiled and seized this opportunity to pull away from his mouth, and slip into gameface. "Shh." She said sinking her teeth into the soft flesh of his neck.

Jesse couldn't help but cry out as she began to drink his blood.
Spike began to run faster as he heard the scream. "Bloody 'ell, Dru. Never did have patience." He cursed as he leapt over gravestones in an attempt to arrive faster.
"Ohmygod, Jesse!" Willow cried as she heard and recognized the scream.

"Should we call someone?" Xander asked worriedly.

"No, come on!" Willow yelled as she tore off to the closest cemetery.
"Drusilla." Spike's drawled as soon as he reached the mausoleum.

She quickly dropped Jesse and spun around to face Spike. "William." Drusilla greeted. "Want some?" She gestured towards Jesse. "I mean, it was meant to be for the Master, but would kind of sire would I be if I didn't share with my childe?"

Spike just stared at her.

"Oh, that's right, you don't eat humans any more. My bad." Drusilla scoffed with fake remorse.

"Your bad what, Dru? Your bad mistake? Your bad haircut. Your bad taste?" He smirked.

"I ought to stake you right now." Drusilla hissed, advancing towards Spike.

"I'd like to see you try, pet."

"I see one thing about you hasn't changed." Drusilla said, as she looked him up and down, her eyes finally settling on his platinum blonde hair. "Hate the hair." She said lunging at him.

"Had a feeling." Spike remarked as he threw her off of him.

"Jesse!" Xander's frantic voice broke through the air.

Drusilla slowly got up and glared at Xander. "He's mine."

"Really? Cause I don't think he is." Willow said stepping out of the shadows, stake in hand.

"Slayer." Drusilla hissed, as she took a step backwards.

"Afraid of the slayer, Dru?" Spike smirked, low enough so that only Drusilla could hear him.

Drusilla ignored Spike's comment and lunged at Willow, knocking the stake out of her hand.

"Spike?" Willow asked surprised as she dodged another one of Drusilla's blows. "Get them, out of here."

Spike nodded, and hurried over to Xander and Jesse. "She bit me, man." Jesse told Xander as he pressed a hand to his neck.

"And she's gonna bite you again, if we don't leave now." Spike said as she lifted Jesse up off the ground.

"But Willow-" Xander began.

"Can handle herself." Spike finished. "Let's just get him to a hospital, eh?"

Xander slowly nodded and followed Spike and Jesse out of the cemetery.
Drusilla was beyond angry. "How dare you!" She said as she threw Willow into a gravestone. "No one takes what's mine, Slayer. No one!" She hissed before taking off into the night.

Willow slowly sat up and rubbed her head. "Okay, this isn't how I wanted my first week in Sunnydale to go."
