Chapter 12- Thanks again everyone for the reviews I'm glad that you liked it I had thought that it was going to be bad since I hadn't written this story for a little while. So thanks again. And hope you enjoy this one just as much.

And we realize once the engine has stopped, and we're both entangled in each other that everyone is out of the car and waiting for us. We've got her home and soon we'll talk. But that's after I put her to bed in Giles room that we had made for her. As I'm lifting her up out of the car with her clinging on like a baby put in a basket around your shoulders, a heavy object falls out of her jacket which willow tells me she'll get as I put her to bed.
While everyone was down in Giles Kitchen, Buffy was putting Faith to bed and getting some fresh water on the bedside for when she woke up. Buffy's thoughts the comforter is white, whiter then her. She's finally gotten some color after being put in a soft feather soft like bed that you could just disappear in. And the bed is a queen just in case had anything happened had anyone got hurt they could have stayed over and been comfortable. But its being put to better use with someone that we didn't image would use it. Her hair is sprawled out across the pillow and she looks so young . . . I start to get up to leave when she grasps onto my wrist and stares at me too tired to sleep but I know what she wants. As I brush back unseen hairs off her face, I start to lay down saying. "I feel tired. You don't mind me laying down with you?" Faith looks grateful for this small act of making it so she doesn't have to say it out loud that she wants me to be with her. But it's not just her. I would probably be checking up on her or sitting out side the door till she woke up. We both need this as a reassurance in a sense. They lay staring at each other as Faiths eyes start to drift close with Buffy's administrations along her face and hair.

Unbeknownst to them willow had secretly snuck off to start investigating the tool and video left by the mayor with her dorm "pal" Tara.

At Sunnydales college dorms. We see an organized room with incense wafting through the air and book's astron. across the floor.

WILLOW: "Tara, the mayor left a back up plans. That means that Faith probably has known it all along and is waiting to trick us again and stab us in the back!"

Tara also a witch with long blonde hair and extremely shy around others except Willow, just looked at Willow. T: "Willow calm down after all that I've heard about her and the way Buffy is acting she knows what she is doing. And besides didn't you say she was attacked." Before Willow could cut in with her inceptive babbling. Tara hurried up and finished. "Will she's to weak to do anything right now and I think there are some things you just don't know about faith."

W: "Tara, I know her enough" giving tara a troubled face. "I know.. I know I'm just worried she might hurt Buffy again and . . . " T: And what Will? Willow: And take her away. T: Ah honey you know Buffy and you are best friends . . . And nothing will change that. Besides I wouldn't worry about that. Willow: What do you mean? T: Just think about it Willow the way you've described them. Willow: cutting Tara off blurts out. No, Buffy isn't like that. I'd have known after all we tell each other everything don't we. BABBLING . . . Figuring that at least she had got will to think about it she decided to change the subject.

"So about this tool do we have a name yet?"

Faith woke up with a heavenly smell under her nose and an unexplained warmth Buffy's head was under her chin and my arm around her sleek little waist. Buffy looks adorable when sleeping like all the troubles of the world are off her shoulders. I know our relationship has changed and that we are going to talk I'm excited but a little scared. Like when you're riding your bike for the first time and you think you are going to fall off. My fingers start to trace the outline of her lips. When her lips part and I can feel her breath against my fingers. She cuddling more into me and it feels like we are picking up where we left off on our last dream together before I woke up. But I know this isn't a dream anymore and that she should be more lucid and we should talk even though its so tempting. I move my chin and rub the lower half of it across her face while whispering her name.

(Buffy's POV )

I'm in a warm and safe place. Between sleep and awake. And somewhere in the distance is someone calling my name. Again I feel as though I'm in a dream with Faith and when I wake up she'll be back in the hospital and everything that happened was just another dream. She'll be pale and having machines hooked up to her. I grab onto the pillow and squeeze while rubbing my face into it. When I realize, my pillow is not a pillow but a person . . . FAITH. My eyes shoot open and I grab onto to her scanning over her with my eyes while my hands are running all over her body.

FAITH: "Wow B had I known that you would feel me up each time we slept together I would have gotten you in bed sooner." I can feel my cheeks burning and I smack her arm playfully. Well just don't get use to it Miss cold feet between the sheets. God I thought someone put ice in the bed. And then I noticed it was you're feet.

FAITH: Smirks "oh yeah they were defiantly between the sheets all-right but I didn't hear you complaining last night especially after you used me as a pillow." Buffy: Tenderly looking at faith she looks her in the eyes and brushes a loose stray hair off her face. " I missed you Faith." Inhaling a slow breath, she looks back at Buffy while resting her cheek against Buffy's hand. Faiths' eyes get a sudden softness to them. " I missed you too."
