I'm going to leave bits in from season 7 and add parts of my own! Hope you like it.

Chapter 2. Found him.

Buffy walked alone in the cemetery where Spikes crypt was she kept her eyes wide open scanning the cemetery looking for the bleached vamp. Which wouldn't be hard seeing as his hair stuck out a mile. She heard people fighting and looked around and ran in the direction where the fighting was coming from. She stopped and pulled her stake out and then saw Spike kicking a vamp's ass. Spike brought out a stake and staked him and then turned around and saw Buffy standing there.

He wiped the blood from his nose and sniffed. "Buffy." He said all macho.

Buffy lowered her stake and looked at Spike shocked, she couldn't believe her eyes.

"I was wondering when I would run into you." He said.

"Spike?" She whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Where have you been?"

"Getting over you slayer."

"Right." She said and brushed her hair back and Spike saw a bruise on her face.

"Nasty bruise you got."

"Yeah vampire."

"So how are you?"

"Fine." She said still stunned.

"Well I better go, don't want to be in your way."

Spike brushed past Buffy and left her amazed. She felt something different about him but couldn't tell what. She looked over her shoulder and watched him walk into the darkness.

She went to the bronze to have a stiff drink, she was having fixed feelings for Spike and didn't know what to do. She sat at the bar and got a beer. She gazed at the beer and thought out Spike.

"Beer is for drinking." Anya said and pulled up a seat next to her. "Give me a beer." She sighed.

"Hey." Buffy said quietly.

"Hey."

"How's work going?"

"Boring. How is your work?"

Buffy shrugged her shoulders. "Life risking."

"So why you looking at that beer like its flowers or something." Anya drank her beer.

"Um…You know, just got things on my mind." Buffy said and smiled.

"Don't we all."

The two girls sat there in silence drinking their beers.

Spike walked in the Bronze and watched Buffy at the bar and got pushed by Tom who was walking in.

"Hey watch it mate." Spike said pissed off.

"Hey man I'm sorry." Tom smiled and walked over to Buffy and kissed her.

Spikes eyes opened and Spike lowered his head and then brought it back up.

"Screw it." He said to himself and walked up to the bar next to Anya.

"A beer please mate."

Anya and Buffy turned at looked at him.

"Spike?" Anya said and got up.

"Hey."

"Where have you been?"

"Everywhere."

"Spike?" Tom said in confusion.

"Yeah he's Buff-" Buffy nudged Anya.

"He use to work with me."

"In the fight against evil?"

"What are you on about, I am evil." Spike said and smirked.

Anya laughed. "You're as evil as a puppy dog Spike." Anya turned to Tom. "See what happened was that Spike got a chip in his head and he couldn't harm any living thing. Spikes a vampire."

"He's a vampire?" Tom said and turned to Buffy.

"Yeah." She nodded.

"And he helped you?"

"In many ways." Spike said and lit up a cigarette.

"He was useful as a demon fighter."

"William the bloody." Tom looked at Spike and smiled.

"That's me."

"You're a legendary vamp, you know that?"

"Yeah, I do."

"So Spike." Anya blushed. "What things did you do?"

"You know, just finding myself. I was a mess when I left here."

"Yes. You were." Buffy said with an attitude.

"Well I'm different now." Spike looked at them all.

"Oh…You are different." Anya said gob smacked looking into spikes eyes.

"What?"

"Oh my god!" She said and laughed a little.

"Spike what is she on about?" Buffy asked confused.

"I don't have a bloody clue." He said.

"Neither do i." Tom said and raised his hand.

Spike slammed his empty glass down on the table and stormed out. Buffy looked at Tom and Anya and walked out as well.

"Hi." Anya said and looked up at Tom.

"Spike!" Buffy called out to Spike and he stopped and turned around.

"Yeah?" He sighed.

"What did Anya mean?"

"I told you, I don't know."

"Yes you do. You're hiding something from me and I'm going to find out what."

"No. You wont." He started walking off and Buffy followed him.

"So where did you go for three months?"

"Around. I told you." He stopped again and looked at her.

"Just around?" She crossed her arms.

"Yeah, just around."

A man walked up to Spike with a knife. "Hey man give your money."

"Sod off." Spike said angrily and hit the man to the floor.

Buffy looked at Spike. "You're not in pain." She said.

"Oh yeah so I'm not." He said and started to walk off.

Buffy grabbed his arm and he hit her. "What happened to you Spike? Why do you not have a chip anymore?"

"Came with the package." He walked off.

Buffy was determined to find out what Spike was on about and followed him a church he walked in and Buffy stopped and stared at him walking in. Once he got in she carried on and walked in and looked around the dark church.

"Thought you would follow me!" Spike said and stepped out of the shadows. With out his leather jacket on and just a back T-shirt.

"Spike what is going on?"

"Nothing that concerns you. Now buggar off!"

"What happened-"

"If you knew how it felt." He said softly. "How it haunts me." He looked up at Buffy. "The last three months I've been out of my head, crazy, confused, afraid. I did it for you." He then laughed. "I don't know why. It was you who made me fall crazy in love with you."

"You don't-"

"Oh I do love you Buffy I tried not to-"

"Spike what are you talking about? You did this to me."

"I'm not a crazy man like I was three months ago. But I still can feel them, feel pain inside me." He started walking up to the cross. "This is what you wanted, or if it wasn't its to late now. It's gone it's all gone."

"The chip?" She whispered.

"The Chip came out, but I cant kill…I wont kill. It's wrong Angel knows how I feel."

Tears filled Buffys eyes and had realised what he had done. "Your soul?" She said softly.

"Yeah, my soul." He walked up to cross and took off his T-shirt and rested himself on the cross.

I had to get the chip out of his head! Because it will effect something whats coming up. What you all think then?
