Sorry that you don't like the idea of Buffy and Spike as brother and sister even though they're not really related. It's simple really; if you don't like them like that then you really don't have to read it. I actually liked writing them like that because it's different from everything else I've done with them. I'm also wondering if you saw any of the show towards the end because Buffy and Spike really haven't been mortal enemies for quite a while. Just because you think that they are supposed to be doesn't mean other people should think that. You probably won't see this anyway, but I still felt like saying it for anyone else that doesn't like Buffy and Spike like this. You just don't have to read it, I can't please everyone. I just happen to like them when they're friends and not fighting all the time. It gets annoying after a while. Anyway, I'm glad the last chapter managed to get in the site pretty soon. I hope the site is better now and it will keep being faster with the updates. Okay, on with the story for those who are still interested!

Chapter 9

A few weeks went by and Buffy headed to Spike's apartment. She hoped he didn't mind her just dropping by. She knocked on the door and there was no answer so she turned the knob and found that it was unlocked. She shrugged and walked inside the apartment, closing the door behind her. She looked around and didn't see Spike anywhere until she heard some noises coming from his bedroom. She walked closer to his room and saw that the door was open a little. She looked inside and really regretted it when she saw what was in there. "Oh god, I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed as she turned away and Spike then covered himself up along with the girl who was in bed with him.

"Buffy, don't you knock?" She nodded as she continued to look away.

"I did and I got no answer so I just came in since the door was open." She said as she turned back and was relieved to see that they were both covered. "Sorry about that." Spike sighed and got out of bed and Buffy turned around again as he put his pants on, it was something she really didn't need to see. He put his shirt on as the girl started to get dressed also. Buffy turned back to them when they were both dressed. She then smiled at the girl. "Hey, Faith. Sorry about catching you in all your glory." Faith shrugged and smiled at her also.

"Don't worry about it, B. I'm just sure it must suck to see your brother in all his glory." Buffy agreed.

"You have no idea." She replied and Spike glared at her.

"I am still in the room you know." He turned back to Faith. "I'll be right back." He said and she nodded as he placed a kiss on her lips and left the room, pulling Buffy with him. He shut his door and looked at her. "Are you here for a reason?" Buffy shook her head and couldn't keep the smile off of her lips.

"At least we're even again." Spike rolled his eyes.

"This is different. I've been dating Faith for two months and you just started with that Angel bloke when I caught you." Buffy nodded.

"Well, when you put it that way." She then looked down and really wished she didn't as she covered her eyes. "Spike, I can still see you in all your glory." He didn't know what she was talking about until he looked down also and saw that he forgot to zip his pants up. He quickly pulled up the zipper.

"Sorry, you can look now." Buffy uncovered her eyes and still had a grossed out look on her face.

"Right, I will never come here again without you knowing about it. I never want to witness that again. I mean I saw things that I really wish I didn't and it's just nasty." Spike seemed offended by that.

"Hey, you've seen these things before." Buffy rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, but it's you and it's just gross. You would be thinking the same thing if it was me." Spike shuddered when he thought about that.

"You have a point. So, why are you really here?" Buffy shrugged.

"I just wanted to thank you. You know for covering for me the last few weeks and not telling mom about Angel. I really appreciate it." Spike nodded.

"You're welcome, but I still don't like it. Your mum isn't stupid; she's bound to find out. It might be better if she found out from you." Buffy nodded also.

"I know that, but I'm not ready for her to know right now. I have a good thing going with Angel and I don't want anything to ruin that." Spike sighed as he looked at her.

"You really like him, don't you?" Buffy smiled at him.

"I really do, I think I'm actually falling in love with him. I know it's sudden and I thought that it would never happen again, but things change and every now and then people surprise you." Spike seemed to be in a daze when she said that and she gave him a look. "Spike, are you okay?" He came out of his reverie when she spoke again and gave her a smile.

"Yeah, I'm just picturing you as that little girl that used to chase me around saying I had cooties." Buffy smiled at the memory. "It's just hard to think of you all grown up which is weird considering everything you've had to deal with." He told her and she got closer to him.

"Be afraid, be very afraid." He rolled his eyes.

"You can go now. I would like to get back to what I was doing." Buffy rolled her eyes also.

"Yeah, you do that and we never talk about this again." Spike nodded.

"It's forgotten, I'll see you later." He said as Buffy headed to the door. She turned back to him one more time.

"Oh, I wanted to tell you that I have plans with Angel tonight and I was kinda wondering if you could tell my mom that I was staying here. I sort of already told her that I would and if she called I was hoping you could cover for me." Spike sighed; he knew she would ask him to do something.

"You mean you plan on spending the night at Angel's?" Buffy nodded.

"That was the idea. I swear we won't be doing anything. We were just gonna watch some movies and he has a guest room that I would be sleeping in." Spike didn't like it, but he nodded anyway. Buffy smiled and hugged him; she has been doing that a lot lately. "You are the best brother." Spike agreed.

"You better believe it. Just be careful, alright?" Buffy nodded and gave him a kiss on the cheek before she then went to the door and left the apartment. Spike made sure the door was locked this time and went back to his room. He saw Faith sitting on the bed.

"Everything okay?" He nodded and sat down next to her.

"Yeah, everything's good." He told her with a smirk. "Now, where were we?" Faith smiled back at him and knocked him down on the bed as she got on top of him.

"I think we were right about here." She said as she started to kiss him and Spike got back to what he was doing before they were rudely interrupted.
