Faith stood still next to Angel as Maggie gave him a glare of death.

"Faith kill him!' she said in an ordering tone. She continued to glare at Angel. "Faith what the hell are you waiting for!?!?! Kill him!!!!"

"He won't hurt us Maggie." Faith said simply surprised that Maggie knew what Angel was, at least that's what she assumed by the way she was acting.

"Won't hurt us?!?!?! He's a vampire, and not just any vampire at that!" she said, by this point beyond rage.

She looked over at Angel. Guess he was pretty bad by the way Maggie was acting. Faith herself would have to cut off her own finger to get the woman to even look at her most of the time. Still, those eyes, there was something in them, and an top of that one of her favorite things so do was piss off her watcher.

Angel looked at Faith as she looked at him. He knew that she wasn't going to hurt him.

"He has a soul." Faith said plainly then walked over to a nearby candy dish and put one of the bonbon's in her mouth.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

After another twenty minuets and finally getting out the whole story out Faith just left with Angel leaving a screaming Maggie behind.

Angel turned his head back toward the door as they left.

"Sorry about getting you into trouble."

"Don't. If she wasn't yelling about you it would be something else. Thanks again for staying at the hospital with me." She said not really looking at him.

"No problem."

They kept walking not really saying anything. To both of their surprise the silence was annoying or awkward. They had ended up near the cemetery where the two of them had first meet. Once again vampires came out. Once again there was a fight. Once again Angel helped.

Faith was off to the side fighting with one of the remaining vampires. She knocked him to the ground and pinned him by stepping on him.

"Kill me, but more will come. You will die. It has been ordered by Kakistos."

"Sure buddy whatever you say." She said then staked him threw the heart.

Angel walked over toward her.

"You okay?" he asked with a genuine amount of concern that she was completely unprepared for.

"Five by five."

"What did it say to you?" Angel asked starring at the ashes.

"Something about kissing toes?" She said oddly.

"What?"

"I have no idea. It was probably nothing. Vampires usually babble on about nothing anyway......uh, no offense." She said quickly realizing what she just said.

Angel smiled.

"None taken."

They continued to talk as they walked away. Completely unaware that someone was watching them.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Angel walked into his apartment alone and closed the door behind him. He'd been careful choosing it. After a while he had finally gotten tired of sleeping on the street. The owner of the building new all about.............the things that went bump in the night. All he had to do was get rid of the occasional man eating demon and he could stay. He walked over and lay down on the bed.

He told himself over the years that he liked to live alone. Of course if that was true then he wouldn't have to keep telling himself that. He did like at times. He was a bit of a loner, but being by yourself for almost one hundred years gets old. He missed Faith.

As ridiculous as it sounded it was true. He wanted to talk to her longer, to be with her longer but the sun was coming up. He just went home. Maybe he could run into her tomorrow.

Something about earlier bothered him though. He felt like someone was watching them. Faith didn't seem to notice, but then maybe she did. She was probably used to someone always watching her, that was what her watcher was there for after all.

There was another thing that bothered him. What that vampire had said before Faith killed it. Faith had said something later about him saying something about be 'ordered' by kissing or something. There was something odd about the vampires in the cemetery tonight, and the last time they were there. They were all dressed similar on both nights. None of them were out feeding or out for fun. They seemed to specifically going after Faith.

There was something odd going on. He just didn't know what it was yet.

Sorry if this chapter is a little cutting, I've been writing this on and off for a couple of days. Usually I just write the whole thing at once after I get an idea. Hope you like it all the same.
