Okay, I'll say this again. This is pretty much an AU of Season 6, which means that things are supposed to be different. I know Buffy would never normally treat Spike so nice, but she never died here. He saved Dawn and the world, so of course she would probably be nicer to him after that. I happen to like a nicer Buffy and I really wanted to make her like that. I understand that it may seem a little out of character, but that was kinda the idea. It's not really meant to be in character. If it was then we would be dealing with bitchy Buffy and a lot of brutal sex, which I didn't like. Thanks for the reviews. I do appreciate the comments. Also, Kali is a character that I made up. She wasn't on the show or anything, just wanted to make that clear. I also forgot to mention that Xander and Willow aren't together. She's still with Tara and he's still with Anya. I just couldn't really fit either of them in this. I don't really see the two of them as anything but friends. Okay, hope that cleared things up a bit. We're almost to the end of the story. I did say it was a short one. Don't hate me too much with this chapter. Just know that I'm all about happy endings!
Chapter 6
"Her name is Kali. She's a powerful witch that I was involved with a long time ago. Me and Drusilla were both involved with her actually." Spike was saying after they both got back to the house. Buffy held her hand in the air.
"Okay, I get it. I don't need to know the details. So, you suddenly remember her?" Spike nodded.
"It's like everything from my past came back to me. I can remember all the horrible things that I did, all the lives I took. I remember Darla and Angelus. What I still can't seem to remember is everything that happened with you. It's like my life when I came to Sunnydale is still a blank. She doesn't want me to remember it." He stated as he looked at Buffy. "She wanted me to forget you. I don't think she meant to take all of my memories away though." Buffy still couldn't understand it.
"Why would she want to erase me from your memory?" She asked and Spike took a deep breath before he spoke again.
"Kali has this obsession with me. She always tried to get me alone in the past, but I was too devoted to Drusilla at the time. I would never do anything with her unless Dru was there. I don't think she liked to share me. It looks like that obsession never went away. She thinks you're in the way now, Buffy. I know Kali. She won't stop until she gets what she wants. I couldn't bear the thought of her doing anything to you." He explained and Buffy grasped his hand in hers.
"I'll be okay, Spike. I can take care of her if she decides to come after me." Spike shook his head.
"This is my fault. I should be the one to deal with her. I don't want you anywhere near her." Spike noticed that Buffy was about to say something else and he pressed his finger to her lips. "She's my problem, Buffy. I need you to stay out of it." He removed his finger after a few seconds and Buffy sighed.
"Alright, but I don't like it." She said with a pout and Spike smiled as he kissed her on the lips.
"That's my girl." He replied and she returned his smile.
Spike woke up in the middle of the night and looked to find Buffy still asleep next to him. He smiled as he kissed her on the forehead, being careful not to wake her. He got up slowly and put his clothes on. He moved to the door and took one more look at her. He then left the room and headed out of the house. He had a witch to find.
Buffy opened her eyes when she knew Spike was gone. She quickly left her bed and got dressed. She could take a guess at where he was going. She may have agreed to stay out of it, but she was the Slayer. She couldn't let Spike handle it by himself. They were in this together. She went to Dawn's room first to see that she was sound asleep. She smiled and figured that her sister would be okay by herself. She then ran downstairs and grabbed her jacket as she walked out of the house.
Spike looked everywhere for Kali. He wasn't sure where she would be staying, but he decided to look around the Bronze and anywhere else where she might be. He was searching outside Willy's where he remembered first seeing her, but she was nowhere to be found. He was about to give up, when he heard the familiar voice behind him. "Looking for me, gorgeous." Spike turned at Kali's voice to find her standing there in a tight, leather outfit. He couldn't deny that she was very beautiful, but she was nothing compared to Buffy. Spike took a breath and hoped he knew what he was doing. He then put a smirk on his face and walked over to her.
"I was hoping I would find you. We never did finish our conversation." He told her.
"No, I don't suppose we did. I was about to have some fun and you just ran off. I missed you, William. Where have you been hiding since our little conversation?" She said as she ran her hands down his arms.
"I've been around." Was all he said and Kali then had a grimace on her face.
"With the Slayer?" She wondered and Spike tried to look confused.
"Who's the Slayer? I didn't think there was one around here." He said and hoped she bought it. She looked into his eyes and then smiled.
"So, I guess my little spell worked. You really don't know who she is?" Spike shrugged.
"No, should I?" Kali smiled again as she touched his cheek.
"She's no one important. We're together now and that's all that matters." Kali whispered as she pressed her lips to his and kissed him, with all the passion she felt for him. Spike kissed her back for a few seconds and then pulled away.
"Why don't we finish this somewhere else?" He told her and she looked into his eyes. She then stepped away from him. He wondered what caused the look on her face, but he didn't have to wonder for long.
"Did you think I wouldn't figure it out? I can sense her all over you." Spike should have known she would see through that. He just shrugged again.
"I can't get anything by you, love. You made me forget everything, but I would never forget about her. I would never want you, Kali. You never meant anything to me. I guess you did that spell for nothing." Kali's eyes started to glow again and she felt another presence close by. She smiled when she realized who it was. She then raised her hand and shot a fireball toward the trashcans in the alley. Buffy came out from hiding when they caught on fire and noticed that she had flames on her jacket also. She took it off and threw it on the ground as she stepped on it. She then looked up at them.
"Guess you caught me." She said and Kali wasn't amused, while Spike was worried for Buffy. He should have known she wouldn't stay away.
"You shouldn't be here, Slayer. You've already taken everything from me." Kali spat and Buffy rolled her eyes.
"God, do you have to be so dramatic? He doesn't want you, deal with it." Kali became even angrier. She wouldn't let this girl take Spike from her. She would get rid of her once and for all. She raised her hand again and a dagger appeared this time. Buffy realized that she couldn't move and she looked to see that Spike was struggling to move also. Her eyes grew big when Kali raised the dagger. She then threw it toward Buffy. It was too fast and the dagger impaled itself into Buffy's abdomen. She yelled and looked down at the blade that was now sticking out of her stomach. She had tears in her eyes from the pain as she looked back up at the smile on Kali's face and then fell to the ground.
