A/N: Well I haven't updated this story for like, forever, however seeing as I had a new review for it recently I decided, why not? I atempted another chapter, I did stop this story as I wasn't getting many reviews and I got kind of stuck as to where to advance on... but I tried, and that's worth something right?

Also, just a quick question, could you let me know if you wanted this fic to have a 'ship in it (Angelus/Spike) or for me to try and keep it 'ship free?

Oh and do you want anyone to die/or get let go from the cage? Not Spike or Angelus, but the scoobies, I was thinking of killing a few off, just for fun, and the fact that I don't actually use half of them, but if you don't particuarly like character death and would be tempted to stop reading if there was some then please let me know and I could arrange a deal between Angelus and the Scoobies, or I could just keep them all there. Please let me know when you review, which I know you will if you want another chapter quicker than this one came : D

Rating is still pg-13ish because of language (Spike's language, surprise, surprise) may go up later on, haven't actually decided where the story is actually heading yet....

Anyway, here we go, a very short chapter, but a chapter nonetheless.

Caged - Chapter Six

Spike paced the cage angrily, Angelus had left shortly after his outburst, not saying a thing about it, leaving him even more pissed than he had been previous, but he realised that it probably had been a good idea. Afterall when the vampire who is your sire has kidnapped you and some of your not-quite-friends, it probably isn't a good idea to get pissed off at him and start shouting at him, though he had kind of buggered that one up already anyway.

His eyes darted around quickly, taking in the other occupants of the far too small cage. Xander was kicking his feet up against the wall, apparantly more bored than anything, Buffy was scowling at him, Giles was cleaning his glasses and everyone else was asleep, well at some people were relaxed enough to sleep he thought bitterly, before he began to start pacing yet again.

Hearing a door slam upstairs he grudgingly sat down on the hard concrete, before Angelus had the chance to start ordering him around just to humiliate him in front of a bunch of humans. Glancing up he saw the door open and close before a very happy looking Angelus, who had at a guess just had a nice warm feed. The thought of hot, pulsing, human blood made him tremble at the thought and his stomach would have growled if that hadn't been physically impossible for vampires.

"Aww, if I'd known you were hungry I would have saved you some Will" Angelus grinned cockily as he read his Childe's mind as though it were an open book.

Angelus headed straight towards the cage and swung open the door wider than he needed to, but no one bothered to make a run for it, they would have all escaped a long time ago if it had just been bars stopping them from getting out and he knew it.

He chucked in a plastic carrier bag and closed the door behind him, but once again he didn't bother to lock it, even if a miracle happened and they managed to get past him, would they really make it past all of the other vampires upstairs, and on every other floor, and the minions that were out on watch all around the house? Doubtful, but he stored it in the back of his mind as it would be funny to watch if he got a bit bored later on.

Buffy cautiously opened the bag in front of her which revealed itself to contain a few bottles of water, some basic food supplies and a couple of bags of blood which she looked at in distaste.

Spike hungrily reached forwards and grabbed the bags, he was starving. Vamping out and sinking his teeth into the bag he paused suddenly, taking several facts in. One, the bag was warm, and hence the blood inside it was warm, not hot, but a nice temperature anyway. Two, the blood was human, and fairly fresh as well, not like the stuff he sometimes bought from Willy's. Three, it wasn't all human, he could clearly pick out the taste of his Sire's blood mixed in with it.

He looked up, his fangs still attachted to the bag and found Angelus looking at him in an amused fashion.

"You can throw it back in my face, but you aren't getting anything else, so you can choose between your hunger and your pride, your descision doesn't bother me"

Buffy snorted as she thought she knew why Spike was pausing with his blood.

"What's wrong Spike? Come on, you've been living off pig's blood for years now, surely you should be used to it by now, or are you going to complain because 'Daddy' doesn't love you enough to give you something proper anymore?"

Spike ignored Buffy's comment, she didn't know what the fuck she was taling about and he didn't particuarly care to correct her either.

Hesitantly he lowered his eyes and began slowly drinking the blood, savouring the taste and out of the corner of his eye he saw the rest of the gang stir and start to eat the food Angelus had got for them. When the bag was drained he reached for the other one, not wanting the blood to go cold before he managed to start it.

When he had demolished both bags he sat back, actually feeling sated after a meal for once, which actually felt nice. Glancing up he saw Angelus was still staring back at him, looking extremley smug. He had no idea why the smug look had only just appeared, he must have known before hand that the blood wouldn't be thrown back at him, Spike was too desperate to throw away good blood.

Licking his fangs and returning to his human face he saw that the others had just about finished whatever small rations Angelus had allowed them to have and they were all now taking in the silent scene between the two vampires with interest.

Spike was now worried and curious. Despite what had happened last time Angelus had offered him his blood, there were actual rules that they were meant to follow. He searched back through hismemory into one of the mind numningly boring lessons that Angelus ahd drilled into his head once apon a time. The strict voice drifted back to him. 'On occasion of a gift of blood from one's Sire, it is customary for the Childe to bare their neck and allow access for their Sire to take what he pleases' Spike rememebred asking what happened if the Sire was a female, seeing as he had said 'he' and not 'he or she', he also remembered getting a good beating for that particular question.

"So? What are you going to do Will?" Angelus didn't look angry, for the moment, but he new all that could change in an instant if he didn't make the right choices, he was well aware of Angelus's mood swings, worse than a tennage girl, he was.

Standing up slowly he opened the door with one arm, his broken arm hung loosley by his side, but was already healing, another 24 hours and it would be fine, a bit sore, but it would have healed. Angelus had made a clean snap earleir, he could have broken it roughly at a bad angle, now that would have taken a while to heal, and would have been one hell of a lot more painful.

Shutting the door gently behind him Spike walked up to his sire who was now standing and he looked him briefly in the eye, before dropping to his knees and baring his neck to the towering figure above him.

"I offer you my blood in thanks for your own" Spiek couldn't remember exactly what he was meant to say but he just made it up and hoped Angelus wouldn't call him on it.

"Why thankyou William, I accept" Angelus picked up Spike by the shoulder of the T-Shirt he was wearing and brought his neck towards the fangs that had ust appeared at the site of his Childe knealing down before him submissivley, a rare sight when it came to William.

Surprisingly Spike didn't feel the harsh bite of his Sire's fangs ripping into his flesh and the painful removal of blood being forced out too quickly, he instead felt them gently prick his skin and begin to leisurley pull the blood from him, the feeling was too much and he couldn't help but lean forward and clutch at his Sire, pulling him closer.

Spike only hoped that Angelus stopped soon, otherwise he would lose control, and he knew just what would happen then...

A/N2: There we go then, I've updated after about 3 months, possibly over, you want another update? Review, please, just let me know someone is reading this.

And another point, nothing to do with this story, I'm looking for someone who would like to co-write a fic with me, something I've always wanted to do, I haven't actually got any major ideas at the moment, but from looking at my stories you can probably guess what kinda stuff a write and so forth, if you like simalar stuff, then please, let me know!
