Summary: The Watcher's council has captured two vampires and are making them train with the Slayer. But what happens if the vampire gets too close?

"Buffy!"
Buffy stopped and inwardly groaned. She plastered a fake bright smile on her face and turned around to face the obstacle. "Riley!" She cried, in over exaggerated happiness.
Riley grinned at her and scanned the night sky. "Why are you out at this time of night?"
Buffy stared at him blankly. "Riley." She said slowly. "I'm the Slayer. I'm meant to be out this late. Part of the job? You know, fighting the big bad monsters?"
Riley smiled slightly and tilted his head. "Yeah, I know, but what about your mom and your sister, Dawn?"
Buffy frowned and started to walk away from him.
Riley quickly walked to her side. "What?" He asked.
Buffy stopped and stared at him suspiciously. "You've never asked about my family before." She said, in a wary voice. "Why start now?"
"Because I care Buffy." Riley answered gently.
Buffy nodded and looked around. "Riley, have you seen any peroxide blonde vampires?"
Riley hesitated for a minute, before nodding. "Yeah, I saw one. He and his friend passed ages ago. Saw them heading out of Sunnydale."
Buffy's face fell and she bit her lip. "Oh." She said. "Well, did you see his friend?"
Riley smiled. "Yeah, I did."
Buffy rolled her eyes. "And what did he look like?" She pressed.
"Well, he was short, fat, bald and. stank!" Riley answered, inwardly praising himself at the look of pure horror on Buffy's face.
"Oh, well. I'd. better get going." Buffy said quickly, before bolting down the street.
Riley smiled smugly and watched her disappear, before turning and strutting down the street. "Man, I'm good!" He muttered proudly to himself.
* * *
Buffy threw herself onto her bed and breathed loudly.
"Buffy?"
Buffy turned to see Dawn standing in the doorway.
"Are you alright?" Dawn asked, coming over and perching on the edge of the bed.
Buffy smiled weakly and sat next to her. "Just having some vampire problems." She admitted.
"What?" Dawn cried, in mock horror. "Are vampires getting too much for the big strong Slayer?"
Buffy rolled her eyes and shook her head. "It doesn't matter." She looked at Dawn suspiciously. "Where's mom?" She asked.
"She's gone out of town for the weekend." Dawn replied. "She's coming back on Sunday evening."
"Oh, ok." Buffy said. She raised an eyebrow at Dawn. "And that's why you're staying up at." She checked the clock. ".12:30?"
Dawn nodded. "And I thought we could, you know, eat ice cream and popcorn, while watching a romantic comedy?" She asked hopefully.
Buffy bit her lip. "Well, I'm meant to go and meet these vampires early tomorrow morning, with Giles, Wesley and Riley, but-"
"Why Riley?" Dawn interrupted.
Buffy sighed. "He thinks he has a chance with me," She explained, "So he won't leave me alone!"
Dawn smirked. "And does he have a chance with you?"
Buffy stared at her sister in horror. "Dawn! No, he doesn't!"
Dawn sighed. "Does anyone have a chance with you?"
Buffy smiled. "Yeah. A man who has beautiful dark eyes, spiky brown hair, is tall, very well-built and has a large. personality (I think we all know who she's describing, don't we?)!"
Dawn giggled. "Buffy!" She cried, in mock horror. "And you speak to mom with that mouth?"
Buffy grinned. "Well, lets not tell!" She whispered. "Now come on, lets go and watch."
".I Know What You Did Last Summer!" Dawn cried, bolting through the door.
"Again?" Buffy asked, following her.
Neither of them noticed the pair of gold eyes watching them from the window.
* * *
"Well, we could always contact Darla, Dru or Connor?" Angelus suggested.
Spike stared at him. "How would we contact your bloody son and mate?" He asked, smirking.
"Darla is not my mate and do not call my son 'bloody'!" Angelus snapped.
"Why not?" Spike cried, defending himself, "After everyone he has killed, he should bloody well be called 'bloody'!"
"Go and stake yourself!" Angelus growled.
"In your dreams." Spike replied. "What about that half-demon? Doyle, wasn't it?" He added quickly, making sure that he got the last word.
Angelus raised and eyebrow. "Do you think they'd know we're here?"
Spike shrugged. "Worth thinking about." He watched Angelus think, in amusement. "Or we could wait and find out what the Slayer's like?"
Angelus smirked. "I suppose. Then we could kill her."
Spike shrugged. "Why not?" He asked.
Angelus looked at him. "We'll see." He answered, after a pause. "We'll see."
* * *
Both Doyle and Lorne turned to Anya.
"I told you it wouldn't work." Lorne said, shaking his head.
Anya shot Lorne a if-looks-could-kill-you'd-be-dead look. "No." She said firmly. "I know why we took the spell off, but why did the council put the spell on in the first place?"
Doyle frowned. "They've taken them prisoner." He replied. "Oh!" He said, as he realized what Anya was getting at.
"Exactly!" Anya cried happily, her eyes shining with excitement.
"Exactly what?" Lorne asked.
Doyle turned to him. "Lorne, they're prisoners, so we can free them!"
Lorne looked from Doyle to Anya and back again. "Free them?" He asked. "Um, they're prisoners of the Slayer and her two Watchers?"
Doyle and Anya nodded.
"And they're two wild and dangerous vampires?"
Again Doyle and Anya nodded.
"And the Slayer and Watchers are good, making them on our side?"
Doyle and Anya nodded.
"So, why are we rescuing two wild and dangerous vampires from the Slayer and her Watchers, who are on our side?"
Doyle nodded, frowned and turned to Anya.
"Well," Anya said quickly, "Doyle owes them a favor and, as we're Doyle's friends, we're going to help him!"
"But we'll be against the Slayer." Doyle pointed out.
"So? All of us have either been a demon or are one!" She answered.
"So?" Lorne asked.
Anya sighed and rolled her eyes. "So then we have connections who are demons!"
"And then we'll go and rescue the vampires with our connections!" Lorne cried, standing up.
"Brilliant Anya!" Doyle praised.
Anya smiled and blushed with pride. "I know." She replied, shyly.
"Now we just need to get our connections together." Doyle said.
"Does anyone know where the nearest Gentleman's Club is?" Anya asked.
Both Doyle and Lorne stared at her.
"Why Anya, honey?" Lorne asked quietly.
Anya smiled. "Because most of my connections will be there!"
* * *
Darla raised an eyebrow and stared into the fire. "Are you sure?" She asked.
The minion nodded. "The Watchers and the Slayer defiantly have Master Angelus and Master Spike as prisoners."
Connor studied the minion. "How do you know this?" He asked coldly.
"We captured an SIT." The minion answered, while keeping a close eye on Drusilla, who was lounging on a couch.
"What's an SIT?" Connor asked, raising his eyebrows.
"A Slayer-In-Training." Darla answered brightly, turning round from the fire. "Bring her in." She commanded.
The minion bowed and clapped his hands. Two minions came in, dragging and unconscious young girl.
Darla smiled coldly at the unmoving body. She turned to Connor. "What do you think we should do, son?" She asked, watching, as Dru went and crouched by the girl.
Connor grinned at his mother. "We should torture her and send her back to her friends or kill her and send little body parts back to the Slayer, or we could - "
"Turn her." Drusilla interrupted softly.
"Excuse me? Turn her?" Darla snapped.
Dru smiled. "The stars tell me to turn her and then we'll send her to the Slayer -"
"Who won't know what's hit her!" Darla finished. She laughed and clapped her hands in delight. "Drusilla, my dear, tell the stars I thank them!"
"Why don't you turn her?" Connor suggested.
Drusilla looked at him and then at Darla. "May I?" She asked her Grand- Sire.
Darla smirked. "Of course, Dru. I'm going to go and check on dear Joyce. See if the boys have finished playing with her!"
* * *
"Sorry I'm late!" Buffy shouted, announcing her presence in the Magic Box.
There was no answer.
She frowned as Riley came through.
"Buffy! Hey!" Riley greeted.
"Yeah, where are Giles and Wesley?" Buffy asked.
"Down in the basement." Riley announced, leading her through to the training room. "They left me in charge of the vampires!" He said proudly, puffing out his chest.
Buffy smiled weakly. "Probably in the hope you get eaten." She muttered, under her breath. She scanned the training room. Her eyes rested on a peroxide blonde vampire and. a tall, dark-haired, brown-eyed vampire, who were both staring curiously at her. They were both wearing tight, black leather trousers and silk shirts, the shirts being un-done showing off their well muscled chests. Her mind immediately thought up unwanted visions of her and the dark-haired vampire together and had to shake her head, to get rid of them. **Remember, they're vampires and you're the Slayer. That means no relationship. None. None at all. ** Instead Buffy frowned at Riley, as she replayed her conversation with him.
// "He was short, fat, bald and.stank!" //
"Riley?" She asked sweetly, smiling at him
Riley looked at her hopefully. "Yeah, Buffy?"
Buffy's smile widened. "Come here."
He came over and stood in front of her.
"Sweet dreams!" She snarled, before punching him in the forehead.
The blonde raised an eyebrow. "I'm Spike." He greeted. "This is Angelus."
Buffy raised her eyebrows. "Buffy." She replied.
Angelus smirked at the unconscious body of Riley. "We take it you're the Slayer?"
Buffy smiled slightly. "The one and only!" She joked, before turning and taking off her coat.
Angelus studied her, as she sat on a chair. Her long wavy golden hair was held back in a loose ponytail and her face had no make-up on, but she was naturally beautiful. She was wearing blue denim hip-huggers and a light pink strappy top, which showed her strapless bra and her firm round breasts. Angelus felt himself grow hard just looking at her and moved his leg, so she wouldn't see.
Spike noticed though and started grinning his face off, when he felt the connection in the air between the Slayer and his Grand-Sire. He noticed the increased breathing, heart rate and the faint smell of arousal, when the Slayer saw Angelus, and he had also seen the intense looks Angelus had been giving her, but the noticeable bulge in Angelus's pants had confirmed his suspicions. **But, hell! It's no surprise! She looks quite tasty! Might have a shot at her myself! ** Spike thought to himself, as the three of them fell into an uncomfortable silence.
Buffy was grateful when Wesley and Giles finally came up from the basement, each carrying an armful of weapons. Buffy frowned. "Why've you brought these up?" She asked.
Giles glanced up at her. "To make sure you know how to use them." He answered, as he and Wesley tipped the weapons onto the floor.
"Why is Riley unconscious in the middle of the floor?" Wesley asked, raising an eyebrow at Riley.
Buffy shrugged. "He tripped." She lied.
Wesley looked at Spike and Angelus.
"Oh, um. yeah, he tripped!" They said quickly.
Buffy sighed and shook her head. "Crap liars!" She muttered sourly.
Wesley frowned at Riley. "Then why is he facing the ceiling?"
"I turned him over." Buffy answered smoothly.
Giles smiled slightly. "So, in other words, you punched him."
Buffy smiled and nodded. "Yep."
Wesley sighed and shook his head. "Buffy, what did he do?"
Buffy blushed and looked at her feet. "He said something." She replied.
Seeing that they weren't going to get anything more out of her, Giles and Wesley turned back to the pile of weapons.
"Now Buffy," Giles started, all business. "Do you know how to use this?" He asked, holding up a weapon.
Buffy stared at him, blankly. "Giles, it's a stake." She answered. "I know how to use a stake."
Giles nodded. "Just checking." He said, moving all of the stakes to one side.
Spike chuckled and smirked at Buffy, when she shot him a look.
"What about a crossbow?" Wesley asked.
"I can use a crossbow." Buffy replied.
"And you can use a sword?" Giles checked.
"Yep."
Wesley nodded. "Good. I think that's all you need to be able to use for the moment. Though, later on, you'll have to learn about the very advanced weapons."
"I know how to use most of them." Buffy grumbled. She glanced at Angelus and Spike. "What are they here for?"
"To help you train." Giles answered.
"What for?" Buffy asked, frowning.
"We've been through this, Buffy." Wesley sighed. "They're going to help you understand the thoughts and techniques of vampires."
Buffy glanced at Angelus. "Will they have to patrol with me?"
Giles placed the weapons in the cupboard. "We'll see. The council wants them to watch you patrol, but we'll see."
Buffy punched the pad Wesley was holding up, a couple of times. "Well, I don't mind if they come. It'll give me someone to talk to."
Angelus smirked. "We do a lot more than talk." He said.
Buffy stared at him in amusement. "I bet you do!" She retorted lightly.
Spike rolled his eyes at the two of them. "We'd like to see the famous Buffy Summers in action!"
Buffy gave the pad a powerful roundhouse kick, making Wesley fall over. "Well, it looks like it's a date!" She announced.
Giles helped Wesley up, as Riley woke up.
"Where am I?" Riley asked, getting up and scratching his head.
"In a place you don't want to be." Buffy answered coldly.
Giles smiled slightly. "We'll be in the shop if you need us."
Riley waited, until Giles and Wesley were gone, before turning to Buffy. "Buffy, about what I said - "
"Forget it." Buffy interrupted harshly.
"No, Buffy, hear me out." Riley said desperately, quickly glancing at the smirking vampires, "I said that because I care about you and I don't want to see you get hurt."
"What? You think I'll get hurt?" Buffy answered quietly, aware of Angelus and Spike listening with curiosity. "I'm the Slayer, Riley. I'm meant to get hurt and one day I'm going to die. So I can't hurt you even more, by starting a relationship with you and then going."
Riley scowled. "Yeah, right." He spat. "I'll get you Buffy Summers and when I do, you'll love it!"
Buffy sighed, wearily, as Riley stalked out. "Right!" She said, smiling gently at Angelus. and Spike. "Shall we start this training?"

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed!! All your reviews meant so much to me!! It's nice to know that someone actually reads your story!! Was that meeting bad?? If it was then review and if it was then review as well!! Please it only takes two seconds to write something and then post it!! (Well actually a little more than two seconds but come on!!!) If you want me to carry on, then review!!! If you don't then don't review!!! If you have any pointers, tips or suggestions, comments, or insults then send them!!! I don't care!! Also, I'm looking for a BETA READER for this story. If anyone would like to be my BETA READER, then please email me and I'll choose!! Thank you!!
