Chapter Two
It has to be evil
Willow was still shaken up from what happened in Ms. Calendar's classroom that day. But right now she felt content because she was in Oz's arms and she didn't know of a place where she would rather be.
"Giles. It has to be demonic. I wasn't the only one who got that weird vibe. Will got it to," Buffy explained, "Right Will?"
""Really weird vibe," confirmed Willow, "couldn't have been natural."
Giles took his glasses off and cleaned them.
"Oh no. I think Giles is getting ready for one of his speech's he likes to give," Xander tried to keep a straight face.
Giles ignored his statement.
"What I'm trying to say is that not everything that happens on the hell mouth is demonic. There could very well be a bug going around," Giles explained.
Giles replaced his glasses.
"But if you want me to do research I will," Giles added.
"That's Giles. Always looking for an excuse to hit the books," Xander joked.
"I don't need an excuse to read. Everyone reads. Better get started on that," Giles said before he disappeared into his office.
The doors to the library were swung open and in stalked Cordelia Chase.
"I'm shocked Cordelia. I didn't know you knew where the library was," Xander joked.
"Bite me Harris," Cordelia snapped before turning to Buffy, "What the hell did you morons do?"
"What are you talking about?" Buffy asked.
"Everyone is getting sick," Cordelia said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Huh?" Xander said simply.
"Two people in my science class collapsed. Harmony and one in my friends home ec. So what did you freaks do?"
"We didn't do anything. But I'm going to go patrol," Buffy announced.
"Is that your answer for everything?" snapped Cordelia.
"At the moment, Yes."
"All of you are nerds."
"I didn't know you cared Cordy," Xander threw back.
"Enough of the fighting," Buffy stood up.
Everyone quieted down and looked at Buffy.
"Willow can you do an Internet search on what can cause this illness?" Buffy asked.
"On it," Willow said.
"Xander I want you to go around with Cordelia and ask about what the sick students do when not in school."
"On it," Xander said.
"Just because I'm helping doesn't mean I like you. I'm doing this for Harmony," Cordelia explained.
"We understand were your helpfulness comes from Cordelia," Buffy said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"What do you want me to do Buffy?" Oz asked.
"Help Willow for now," replied Buffy.
"I don't think you should patrol alone Buffy," Giles said coming out of the office.
"Don't worry. I'll go get Angel."
