-1Funkydevil206 - No this will not be a Spike/Buffy pairing, as I see that pairing as being kind of restrictive what with spikes aversion to sunlight
American Soldier - thanks for the comments, and yes I will be answering all of your questions some time in the near future but for now I'm trying to keep the story kind of vague because I'm not too sure how I want it to go, what with this being my first fan fic and all.
Chapter 2
She had been walking through the cemetery on her usual nightly patrol when all of a sudden a huge group of vampires surrounded her from all directions cutting of any and all escape routes, leaving only the option for the young blond to fight her way out and just as the vampires were finally getting the upper hand when he arrived. Buffy didn't know what it was about the guy but she just couldn't seem to get him out of her head, the way the wind surrounded and protected him, the way within mere seconds he had decimated a gang of vampires that even she herself, the slayer was having problems defeating or maybe it was the fire she saw in his eyes when they talked after the battle, but whatever it was she just couldn't do anything without thinking of him, he even invaded her sleep.
Waking with a start Buffy found herself with a book stuck to her face, she had apparently fell asleep again at Giles's apartment during yet another of the scoobies all night research marathons in an attempt to identify the new renegade vampire hunter on the scene as they had decided to dub him. "God, did I fall asleep yet again?", "Don't worry bout it Buffster, we've all kinda gotten used to it." says Paddy sitting opposite Buffy at the table. Buffy gave him one of her patented death glares, "Don't start with me, or else it won't be just the vampires that get a stake through the heart!" said Buffy causing Paddy to cringe at the thought of having a piece of wood slammed into his heart.
Later that day Buffy was making yet another sweep of the cemetery making the tenth that day, Buffy was beginning to realise that she was becoming very much obsessed with the mystery vampire hunter. It's just that she couldn't manage to get those silver eyes of his out of her mind, its just they seemed to have so much fire and passion behind them that it's just impossible to ignore them. There was only a couple of problems with being fixated on this new hunter which were that Buffy wasn't certain whether or he was a friend or foe and that she wasn't sure why she was more interested in him; as a hunter or because her attraction to him was rapidly growing.
With being in London Buffy's nightly patrols had been extended due to the mass of back alleys that covered the town, she just couldn't see how Giles and Spike could have a fondness for the town, It was over crowded, expensive and had a death rate to rival that of good ol' Sunnydale, that is before Buffy and the gang defeated The First and the entire town sunk into the ground.
Another thing was that there were even more vampires here and the town wasn't even on top of a hell mouth, Buffy often wondered what drew the vampire population to congregate in specific places but with this place it was pretty obvious. With rows and rows of close together housing even vampires had a chance to move about during daylight hours if they were smart enough but then again most vampires weren't that smart. Buffy had noticed though that as a whole the vampire population in London grew nightly and her patrols were becoming more difficult soon she would have to bring someone with her or face defeat at the growing numbers.
Buffy was just on her way home when low and behold who should she find fighting in the back alley behind the butchers but Spike and the ever elusive vamp hunter, they seemed pretty evenly matched which surprised Buffy as she thought after the event of the other night that the hunter would have no trouble besting any vampire, but then again Spike wasn't just any vamp he was unique, well mostly he was one of two vampires in the world that had their soul and he was as much of an asshole after he got it as he was before especially after Buffy had shot him down following the destruction of the hell mouth.
She had just managed to escape the city before it collapsed in on itself and thought that it was finally over for her, but then he had to ruin it by clawing his way out of the crater, after all she had even considered telling him she loved him, which she sooooo didn't. guess its a good thing she didn't given his ability to survive almost anything but then he made it worse by trying to reason that since he saved the world that she owed him something for it which of course she replied to by telling him to go screw himself.
