Disclaimer: Ok, some AbbyKing comes out in this chapter, Kings affected more by Buffy, Angel gets pissed and everyone else is oblivious. Isn't that the way the cookie crumbles mutters a write that down Speaking of writing that down…Im starting a Van Wilder fic under miscellaneous movies…check it out. HEGH, its been a friggin productive day in the writing department.

Ok, I used the description of the demon from "Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them" a spinoff book from the Harry Potter Series…the book in which Harry uses in his Care of Magical Creatures courses. I also got the name of the demon, from a mythological demonic library website. I have another Buffy fiction, handwritten, using this character as well as an anointed one and a very intricate spell to raise the dead. Hopefully it doesn't really work, because that would just be, well creepy.

Oh don't sue me if I use some lines from the movie, Buffy, Angel or any terms of endearment any of my friends who write the Riddick Fan Fiction. I used Big Evil here a lot.

So no sue-y and we'll be all good….

Angel handed me a shirt, which I let dangle from my hand while I was talking.

"Yeah, like I was saying before, we tracked this demon from L.A. Legend has it that big badass evil here rises every 200 years or so and always seems to fit Sunnydale into his vacation plans. Must be the sunny sky that attracts him here. Nothing better than a little fun in the sun, I always say."

No one laughed. Except Xander. He's an easy target so he doesn't count.

"Oooookay, moving on. Big Evil's name is Kigatilik, a demon with a head of a lion, a goat's body and a dragon's tail. It's vicious and bloodthirsty not caring who his victims are. Surprisingly it doesn't care where it leaves the bodies. His table manners are terrible." Abby stood behind me, cleaning the blood from an angry wound, trying to be as careful as possible.

Kenji rambled on about the demons whereabouts and possible weaknesses. I knew this part and apparently Abby did as well, because she was paying more attention to my back and its weeping wound than the conversation going on between the current audience.

Red walked over to Abby and handed her some antiseptic, sewing supplies and bandages. I craned my head to get Willow in my line of sight and threw her a grin of appreciation. She suddenly looked uncomfortable and ran back to Oz.

"Is it really bad?" I whispered.

"Well tell me what you think after I'm done cleaning it." Abby said into my ear.

My back felt like it was on fire, I could practically hear my skin sizzling, my slight vampire senses going into overdrive. I could suddenly sense everyone in the room, more so than before.

Behind me though, I could smell Abigail. If it weren't for the feeling of intense pain thrumming through my body, I could have taken advantage of the situation, regardless of the others in the room.

Her body was coursing with pent up…frustration. And not the normal variety. She was SEXUALLY frustrated. I felt the needle pierce my skin as she stitched up my back, her hands gliding over the muscle there, caressing me more than she should have been.

"Naughty Doctor, you are." I whispered to her.

Not saying anything, as per her usual self, she slapped a bandage over the stitches and ran a hand over my arm, silently confirming my suspicions.

Abigail Whistler was concerned for my well being. I looked out the nearest window. Nope, no hell on earth.

"Aren't you ever going to put on that shirt, King? Or are you going to flaunt your pecs for the rest of the evening." Angel was jealous. Well shit, he shouldn't be. He's got loads of muscle underneath that skin of his. He could squash me like a bug if he wanted to.

"Didn't want to get your precious," looking at the tag "Chinese silk all bloodied up. Or would you like that?"

"I'd watch your mouth if I were you. You might say something to provoke me, little man." Angel's mouth turned up into a nasty sneer.

"So what causes him to keep his soul again? Because right now, I'd love nothing more than to wipe one more vampire off the earth." I stood and pointed my gun right at his heart.

"Don't you know anything about vampires? Guns can't hurt me."

"Well, lets see, shall we?" I turned and shot the couch nearby, the bullet, upon impact emitting a bright flash of ultraviolet light.

I turned back to Angel and gave him a wink. "I think I've got one in here with holy water in it as well. Wanna try that one out first?" Invading his personal space I said "Sure you're bigger than me, and probably a lot stronger, but remember, I've got loads of experience with these bad bad boys and if you think you can intimidate me because you're a vampire, you're forgetting I used to be intimate with Danica Talos."

Abby put a firm hand on my shoulder and pushed me away from him.

"Alright there sparky, don't get your panties in a bunch." Abby faced me and looked at me curiously. "I need you right now, King. Come on and be that sardonic loud mouth that I need in serious moments."

Wow, nothing like that warm fuzzy feeling after an intense moment of adrenaline. I stroked the top of her head affectionately.

"You need me, huh?" I grinned when she, suddenly at a loss for words, turned and took a few paces forward.

"Where can we shack up for the evening? Motel nearby?" Kenji managed, barely containing humor from creeping into his voice.

"You guys can stay at my place if you'd like. My parents are out of town and I've got a whole house all to my lonesome. You're welcomed to it while we research and figure out a solution to the Kigatilik problem." Willow rambled on and on, school being a priority, as well as her looking up Danica.

"Lead the way, Red." I grinned and put on Angel's shirt, making sure the blood on my back trickled through the expensive material of his shirt.
