" What did she say she wanted?" Giles asked again.
" I already told you Rupes." Spike said annoyed, " She said 'Hello Spike'."
" That's it?" Giles said, he took a long pause and then sighed, " It seems as if she's here to take what's hers."
" Hers?" Buffy asked confused, "Eh no."
" Buffy." Spike said. She shook her head no.
" Buffy." Giles said, " Let us explain."
" Ok." Buffy said after a pause, " Yeah?"
" When Drusilla sired me, I was technically hers." he said, Buffy was about to object when Spike continued, " And then when we were together she and I put a claim on each other."
" But..." Buffy said
" I know she didn't keep her end of the bargain, but I am technically hers."
" Then make yourself not hers."
" That's harder then you think Slayer." Spike smiled.
" What?" She asked.
" To do that I would have to beat her in a to-the-death battle." Spike said.
" Ok... So why cant you?"
" Because she's my sire... I cant just kill 'er." Spike said, " It's like you killin your mum, or Angel."
" Oh..." Buffy said, " What if I kill her?" Spike didn't answer, he just looked away.
" Buffy, can we talk in private?" Giles asked Buffy, she nodded and followed Giles into the kitchen out of hearing range for the Scooby's.
" What is it Giles?"
" Spike still has a soft spot for Drusilla. If you kill her, it would break his heart. As much as I'm against it, we cant harm Drusilla in anyway for him. We have to get through this another way." Giles said.
" Is there even another way? Buffy asked.
" There might." Giles said.
" Well, she might not be here for that... Maybe she's her for... Yoga."
" Yoga?" Giles asked.
" Yeah, lots of vampires come to Sunnydale for... yoga." Buffy said.
" Yoga?" Giles said.
" Yoga frees the mind... You should try it sometime." Buffy said.
" As much as I appreciate the suggestion... No." Giles sighed.
" OK, what if Drusilla died in some weird, accidental death?"
" Accidental?" Giles asked.
" Or what if I made her leave?" Buffy asked.
" Made her leave?" Giles asked.
" Oh, this isn't fair." Buffy whined, " He's been hers so many years, and now he's suppose to be mine."
" Buffy." Giles said awkwardly.
" What if he goes bad for her? ... What if Drusilla takes him away from me?" Buffy asked herself, then she felt hands on her hips and warm breath on her neck, she looked up and it was Spike.
" I've told you once and I'll tell you again, I'm attached to Drusilla, but I love you, nothing can change this." Spike whispered as he put small kisses on her neck, she leaned into his embrace and put her hands behind his neck. Giles looked away.
" Eh hem?" He interrupted.
" Sorry Giles." Buffy said, Spike smiled.
" Me and Buffy are going to go on patrol, OK Watcher?" Spike asked, he grabbed Buffy's coat off the coat rack, " We need to talk."
" Ok." Giles said, " Watch out, be safe." He said as Buffy followed Spike out of the house.
" We will." Buffy said.
Buffy and Spike had walked to the closest cemetery and they hadn't talked for a while. Then Spike broke to silence.
" Buffy?" he asked, then he turned to her, she looked away with a tear in her eye.
" Yeah?" She asked. Spike put his hand on her cheek and wiped away the tear.
" Drusilla and I spent many years together, 119 years of being her slave, never being good enough for her... Never getting the feeling I felt for her in return. I always though she was the one for me, but when I met you I knew I was wrong, nobody could love someone like that... You changed my life and you are mine, and I'm yours." Spike paused for a moment and Buffy smiled, " And no matter how much me and Drusilla are connected, be it the claim or the sire-ing, I'll never love her... Never." Spike stopped and sniffed the air.
" That was beautiful, Spike, But I'm afraid that you've got it all wrong, Spike's head's full of lies, Spitting out lies to the little Sunshine... But she believes those lies, wishes for more little dishonest tittle-tattle."
" Drusilla." Spike growled, he turned to Drusilla who was standing behind him.
" Little ocean, my Spike, so lost, but Princess can find you. All along the coast and within the deepest depths of sea, I'll look."
" Drusilla I want you to leave and never come back." Spike said.
" He punishes me." Drusilla pouted, " And even after I worked so hard to please him and rescue him from the dreaded assassin of our kind."
" Drusilla." Spike growled again. Buffy pushed him back.
" Leave Drusilla." Buffy yelled, " I'm sick of people ruining my life and I'm sick of your stupid ranting."
" Silly Slayer. Vampires can't love you, they can only fear you. Cower beneath you as you send them to hell." Drusilla said, " Or there's the times when you cower beneath them. My Spike could never love you, nobody can. Not human, not a vampire, not death. A slayer is nothing. A slayer is like air." Buffy then lost it and punched Drusilla, Dru fell back onto the ground and then she clutched her aching jaw.
" Yeah, the life fuel of humans. They depend on me to help them. Vampires fear me... They fear air." Buffy grabbed the stake behind her and lunged at Drusilla, " Because when there dust they'll be lost in it."
