Disclaimer: Blah blah Joss Whedon

A/N: Please review, and just an update finally saw the last episode of Buffy and I cried when Buffy, Xander, and Willow did the so what do you want to do tomorrow they did in the harvest. Also when Anya died, but they went away when Buffy was saying "I love you Spike". Here you go next chappy chap.

"Alright Dawn we've been out here two hours, time for you to go to bed"

"Fine I'll go inside, but we have to be sneaky"

Angel smiled "It's what I'm good at"

Angel and Dawn quietly side-stepped to Dawn's room "Alright Dawnie I'll wake you up" "Thanks"

Angel closed the door silently. He felt the urge to eat so he silently walked down the stairs. He had made it all the way to the refrigerator when

"Angel?" Buffy started to walk down the stairs faster hoping it would be him

"Dammit" "Angel, wait I need to talk to you" she started to hurry down the stairs

"No Buffy you really don't I saw what happened, so stop trying to make up with me and go do whatever you do with Spike" Angel had started to yell

"How dare you" as she stirded closer to him

Angel just started to laugh "You kissed me the same night you did it with Spike" "That wasn't my fault there was a spell" Angel stopped yelling "So now we're blaming sleeping with Spike on spells?".

Buffy started to walk closer to Angel she finally leaned in. Angel walked away "No!" he walked out of the hotel. Angel had walked for two hours before he realized he didn't know where he was going. 'Where am I gonna sleep? I've got one place.'

He knocked on the door of a demon apartment a familiar green face poked out "Angel". Lorne no longer called him Angel cakes. "Listen Lorne I wouldn't be here but". Lorne opened the door more "I can tell, Buffy problems I'm guessing, cause can't be Cor" "Don't" Lorne signaled for him to come in. "Well I can tell your not undead anymore, so how's your new life been going I haven't been able to get over the enormous guilt you slapped on me."

Angel saw how mad he was "Listen, Lorne I really am sorry but I couldn't have anything go wrong"

"Because Lindsey was a real liability helping me"Angel replied too quickly"You never did see what he was going to do to you after did you?" Lorne's eyes flashed "Maybe he would've traded places with Gunn and died instead ". Angel looked at his feet, Lorne apologized "Sorry". "No, you were right, but can I stay here?" "Yeah if there's one thing I'll help you with it's emotional struggles".

Angel eventually went to sleep. Buffy did not she spent the night searching for Angel for another chance to explain.

Buffy was walking by some hotels she ran into Irish man "Well 'ello 'der" (A/N bear with me) "I don't have time for you". She tried walking past him "Wait you might want to hear dis" "Fine what?"the Irish manexhaled "Your shall we say incident with Spike was a spell, and so was Angel's reaction, something is comin' and it wants you two bickerin so you stay off task. It's not strong now but it will be which is why you need to find Angel now he's in an apartment down Dorado Avenue. It's number 729". Doyle faded out but not before he said "Really quick and tell Angel, Doyle and Cordy say hi"

Angel woke to a knock on the door. He quickly got on pants and opened the door. "Sonnova" then he was punched and the last thing he remembered was a red demon walking in with a sword.

Buffy had started to run she hadsensed that Angel was in deep trouble
