Thanks for the reviews. Ok, I finally saw the Prue wedding episode and I was right yeah me! Well I was partly right, she was wearing pants, but I was wrong they weren't jeans they were black dress pants. Noone's perfect. But I try. Just kidding, onto the story.

"And you were always annoying." Buffy shrugged.

"But I was fun." he smirked.

"Ok whatever, do you think this will take long? Because I do have a prior engagement." Buffy asked.

"What no clever banter about how your gonna kick my ass? I'm disappointed." He said shaking his head.

"Nope, I'm gonna play the damsel this round, you know wait to be rescued. I can't kill you, we both know it." She shrugged.

"Neither can they." he smirked.

"We'll see. Who's super slut?" Buffy asked gesturing to the scantily clad young woman behind them.

"The new seer." He replied. "She's been most helpful."

"They approach." She said suddenly.

"Ahh, show time." He smirked grabbing Buffy and placing knife at her troat.

"This is getting old." Buffy sighed as The sounds of fighting drew closer and the Halliwells burst into the cave.

"Buffy." Chris called spotting her through the crowd of demons blocking their path. "Who the hell are you?" He demanded of her captor.

"ZANKU?" Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Leo and Kyle said stunned.

"Who? I think we're missing something here." Wyatt said turning to Chris as they continued to fend off the attacks.

"But we vanquished him." Paige began.

"Like that ever stops them from trying to kill us." Piper cut her off.

"True." Paige shrugged.

"Let her go." Chris demanded ducking an energy ball.

"Or what?" Zanku laughed. "Take another step and she dies."

"You see once again saving a demon comes back to bite me in the ass." Buffy said annoyed. "New policy, take no poisoners, all demons die."

"Hey." Cole replied.

"Ok, maybe not all. Just the evil ones." Buffy amended. "Can someone kill him because I'm kinda bored of this."

"Go ahead witches, no nexus to help you this time." Zanku smirked.

"Leave her out of this, you want us." Phoebe demanded.

"You owe her she saved you." Leo added.

"I know, but this isn't personal, well it is." He laughed. "What can I say, I'm evil."

"What do we do?" Wyatt asked.

"I don't know." Piper sighed. "He's right we needed the nexus to vanquish him last time."

"You know maybe I wont kill her after all, she'd make a beautiful Queen to rule by my side." Zanku smirked tracing a hand over her face.

"EW and no." Buffy shuddered.

"ENOUGH!" Chris shouted furiously throwing up his hands they all watched stunned as the demons all went flying clearing a path between him and Zanku. "Let her go!" He demanded.

"I'd do what he says, he looks pissed." Buffy smirked.

"How the hell did you do that?" Zanku demanded.

"Like this." Chris replied throwing his hands up again and sending Buffy and Zanku flying in opposite directions.

"Nice reflexes." Buffy commented as Cole shimmered over catching her before she slammed into the wall.

"Your welcome." Cole said as he placed her on her feet. "Careful." he said steadying her as she swayed. "Are you ok?"

"I don't..." She trailed of closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. Phoebe fought her way over to the pair noticing the way Buffy was holding her neck.

"What happened?" Phoebe asked gently prying away her hand.

"The knife must have got her when Chris separated them." Cole said worriedly. "Someone with healing powers needs to get over here NOW."

"Is it bad?" Buffy asked "Is there blood on my dress?"

"It's just a scratch." Phoebe lied. Watching as the slayer slowly became as pale as the gown she wore. "LEO!"

"Where's Chris?' Buffy asked as Phoebe helped her sit on the floor. Phoebe glanced behind them spotting Chris in battle with Zanku. After seeing Cole safely catch Buffy his whole focus had been on the demon before him. "Is he ok?" Buffy demanded when she didn't answer turning to see for herself. "Damn I knew he was holding out on me." She said watching him easily dodge an attack by Zanku and landing a kick sending the demon flying.
