Chapter7 Shared.

Buffy sat in the Bronze staring in straight in front of her in a daze still shocked about what Spike had just told her.

"He got a soul? For me." She thought in her head over and over again. She got up out of her seat after a lot of thinking and walked home slowly. She put her hands in her coat pocket and looked up at the stars. They shone brightly in the night sky, she got to her house and stood outside it just looking at her home. She took a deep breath and walked in the house.

"Hey Buffy how was patrolling?" Willow asked standing in the living room.

"Um yeah it was okay. Where is Dawn?"

"Gone to bed, just little old me." She smiled sweetly.

"Will…There is something I need to tell you, you all really."

"What? What is it?" She had panic in her voice.

"It's Spike?"

"What about him?" She said less panicked.

"He has a soul."

"What!" Willow shouted.

"Shh, you will wake Dawn."

"He has a soul? Buffy how?"

"He explained how tonight."

"So how?"

Buffy told Willow the story Spiked had told Buffy and left Willow in complete and utter shock as well as Buffy.

Spike leaned on the window staring down at the street he looked round as he heard the door open and saw Clem carrying a hamper full of kittens.

"I got lucky tonight!" He smiled holding up the hamper.

"I told the slayer." Spike said looking out on the street.

"You did? How did it go?"

"I talked, she didn't say much then I left."

"But she was okay about it?"

"She nearly started crying." He laughed and turned and faced Clem his eyes were filling up with tears. "It's hard being around her. I thought it would be easy but it's not."

"So what are you going to do?"

Spike faced the window again. "Help."

The next night Buffy left her house just before sunset so she could get a good head start on finding Spike. All last night she thought about him and how much of a man he could be now he has this second chance. The sun set and she walked up to the door he came out of last night and lifted her hand up to knock and the door opened. Spike and Buffy both jumped back startled and then both laughed uneasy.

"Buffy." He nodded and smiled.

"Hey Spike, I was just looking for you!"

"I could guess with you being here."

"We need to talk."

"We do." He nodded and put his leather jacket on.

"But not here."

"The Bronze?"

"No." She shook her head. "Could we walk?"

"To the cemetery I'm guessing."

She nodded and he smiled and they walked along in silence.
