Summary: Little dark story.

nope still don't own it.

The portal was opening behind Angel. As he looked around confused. Buffy was standing in front of him tears running down her face. She knew what she needed to do. But it was so hard. She loved Angel and he was back. She could feel someone moving around behind her. But they were not important. She reached up to kiss Angel only to hear him gasp as an arrow hit him in the chest. Then something hit her from behind knocking her and Angel toward the portal. But as Angel entered the swirling vortex of the portal it closed around him. She could hear him scream out as it closed around him. Then a voice from behind her.

"Damn too bad only got one of you." That voice, it used to be her support, it had always be there to help her out. But now something was missing from it. Something important.

"Xander." She whispered. As she turned.

There he stood. In a black leather jacket and dark clothes. In on hand was a cross bow.

"Yes, Slayer. It's me." Xander said with a smile.

"You sent him to hell." Buffy was almost whispering but the rage could be seen in her eyes.

"Yup." Xander said not taking his eyes off of her, "Would have been icing on the cake to send you to, but alas that was not to be."

"Why?" Buffy started to stand up, "I gave you free passage. You Spike and Dru."

"Yes, you did." Xander said with a shake of his head. "And Spike and Dru are long gone. But I had to make sure that the portal closed. I kind of like the world the way it is, and with that thing open. Well, it would have been bad."

"I'll kill you." Buffy started to move.

"No, you won't," Xander said, "Not if want to have Willow as your friend. You hurt me she'll know."

"So what!" Buffy stopped. She had lost enough friends. And if this monster was right.

"Buffy," Xander said as if he was talking to a small child, "Willow and I have a bond that you can't understand. We feel each other. And If you hurt me after you promised to let me go. Well, Lets say that she won't like it."

"But you didn't go." Buffy was now gripping the stake so hard the wood was starting to splinter.

"Yes," Xander said with a smile on his face more evil than anything Angelus ever made, "I was just checking on you to make sure you were ok, when you attacked me."

"What?" Buffy almost screamed, "Willow would never believe that."

"Nope, but she will believe the message that will be delivered to her if I am killed. With an eye witness that saw the whole thing. Of how I saved you from Angelus only to have you stake me."

"Why?" Buffy said dropping her stake.

"Why?" The evil-look on Xander face turned more evil then she thought was possible, "I was turned because of you. Angelus called in an old friend of his, sent one of her daughters here to bring me across."

"Xan, I sorry." Buffy whispers.

"Don't worry," Xander said, "You will be. Your lover is gone. Your friends next."

Xander seemed to fade into the shadows.

"Then maybe little sister."

"You touch her your dead," Buffy screamed out into the shadows in the house, "Dead you hear me!"

"Yes, Buffy," Xander voice called back to her, "But then I already am because of you. I just spreading the favor around."
