Disclaimer: If I owned them would I be sitting here writing this story about Buffy and Angel being together, when, if I owned them, they'd already be together, cause they're soul mates and Angel is so selfish for thinking his love is not enough for Buffy???? The answer would be no.

Dedication: To everyone who has made a contribution to the world!!

Summary: AU!! B/A!! What if Buffy is Angel's sire instead of Darla? She comes to Sunnydale to find Angel with a soul, a son, and helping the Slayer, while she is a soulless vampire! Can they ever be together?

Spoilers: Nothing I can think of.

Reviews: Yeah, or I'll die through lack of oxygen.

Everyone stared at her as they came up from the basement.

"She has a soul." Angel said quietly.

Buffy shifted nervously under the intensity of the stares. She nodded slightly as Angel introduced her to everyone. Her eyes quickly glanced around, her brain trying to form a route of escape, but drawing a blank.

"Hey Buffy?"

Buffy glanced at the speaker. She was a red head. Willow, if she remembered what Angel had said.

"Do you want to sit here?"

Buffy smiled slightly and nodded, carefully sliding into the seat that the girl pointed to. She looked around and sighed in despair. Buffy laughed silently at herself. *Come on Buff! You've killed millions of humans and have been on more killing sprees than these people will see birthdays! Why are you scared?* Buffy braced herself as the answer hit her with a force she could not ward off.

*Because you don't want to end up killing them.*

* * *

"Now," Giles coughed, making sure everyone was listening to him. "I'm going to have to see Buffy's strength and capabilities and get in touch with the Council about the new Slayer and this."

"No." Angel said firmly. "Do not contact the Council about this. The Slayer, yes. Buffy, no."

Buffy smiled slightly. "It's ok Angel." She looked at Giles. "Will they try and kill me?"

Giles hesitated before nodding. "More than likely." He answered quietly.

Buffy nodded and stood up. "Well, that's ok then. I can go somewhere. Maybe Russia. I haven't been there for a long time."

Angel shook his head. "No Buffy. You're not going anywhere."

Buffy frowned at him. "But what use am I here?"

"You can help with slaying?" Connor suggested.

Buffy shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe." She murmured.

The front door burst open and a tall brunette strode in. "Hey! The party can start, cause Faith's here!" She stopped suddenly as she saw the small blonde. Faith turned to Giles, her eyes narrowing. "What the hell is she doing here?" She hissed.

Oz stood up pulling Willow with him. "That would probably be our cue." He commented.

Angel shook his head. "No stay." He looked at Faith, Giles and Buffy. "Faith, Buffy's here because she has a soul. Like me."

Faith stared at Angel in disbelief. "You're not serious!" She snapped.

"It's true, Faith. I believe that Buffy has a soul." Giles said firmly.

Faith shook her head. "I'm not hearing this!" She muttered. She stared at everyone else. "You believe this shit?"

"Hey! As much as I dislike Angel, I'd put my life into his hands without a second thought." Xander defended, "And if Angel and Giles say that Buffy has a soul, then I'm willing to believe that!" He grinned lopsidedly at Buffy, who was staring at him with a look of amazement on her face. "And, she hasn't tried to eat us, so hey! Bonus!"

Faith ran a hand through her hair. "Oh my god." She breathed.

Cordelia smiled sympathetically. "I know Faith. My reaction was like yours, but Xanders right."

Faith stared at them all. "She killed two of our friends!" She screamed.

Willow glared at her defiantly. "It was the demon. Not Buffy." She answered angrily.

"Fine!" Faith shouted. "But don't blame me when she murders you all in your beds!" She took one last look at them all, before storming out.

Willow stared angrily ahead, seeing only red, before turning calmly to Giles. "I'll go after her." She told him, quickly following the angry Slayer.

There was silence.

Buffy looked around uncomfortably. "Maybe I should go."

Angel looked at her. "Where will you go?" He asked, running a hand through his hair.

She shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe I'll go and see an estate agent this evening and organize a viewing of a flat or house. Or maybe I'll just go to Europe and stay in one of my holiday homes."

"Ah, stay pet." Doyle said, a concerned look on his face. "May be you can help with the slaying, like Connor said. Or you can at least help Faith with her training."

Giles nodded in agreement. "Yes, that would be useful. You could even help me with my research on demons and old vampires!"

Buffy raised her eyebrows. "You're not angry at me about. you know, your friends?"

Cordelia sighed. "We know it wasn't you. And, I'm sorry for the way I reacted last night. It's just seeing you after what you did and said in the graveyard, it kind of gave me a shock."

"Thanks. And I'm sorry too." Buffy gazed at Giles. "Would you like to see my strengths and capabilities now?" She asked, smiling slightly.

Giles' face lit up and he nodded quickly. "Yes, that would be marvelous. I'll meet you down in the basement."

Buffy's eyes connected with Angels before she made her way back down the basement.

"FAITH!"

Faith stopped and tapped her foot angrily. "What?" She asked, breathing heavily.

Willow stormed up to the Slayer and turned her round. "What is wrong with you?" She demanded.

Faith looked at her. "Me?" She screamed, "You're the one who let in a blood sucking vampire! Not me!"

"No. I'm the one who gave that blood sucking vampire a soul, so that she and Angel can sort things out!" Willow stated firmly. "And Angel let her into his home and is giving her a bed!"

"Yeah, probably his bed!"

Willow gazed at Faith intently. "You're in love with him." She spat, after a moment.

Faith glared at her. "And? What's wrong with that?"

Willow laughed coldly. "Um, lets see, you're a Slayer and he's a vampire. Won't work! Unless he loves you back, which, in the way he was looking at Buffy, ain't gonna happen."

The brunette blinked back tears. "And you really think he's going to let himself fall in love with his Sire?" She shook her head. "Are you mad?"

Willow crossed her arms. "No madder than you." She answered.

Faith's eyes narrowed. "Yeah well, the falling in love a part? Not happening. Cause by the end of the week, she's going to be dust."

Willow smirked. "Yeah, I guess I agree about the falling in love part cause it's already happened! But seriously? You think Angel's going to let you? He's never been beaten by a Slayer, Faith, and Buffy has killed fourteen of your sister Slayers. And if you try and kill her, you can count on it being fifteen. And it might not just have to be Buffy and Angel you have to worry about." At this her eyes flashed black, giving Faith a glimpse of the power that lay beneath. Willow grinned darkly at Faith's stricken look, before turning back to the mansion.

"Right. So the ritual starts on Friday night and ends on Saturday night."

Nelo looked up her light green eyes sparkling with annoyance. "And what if I'm busy on those nights?" She demanded.

Sasi glared at her from the book she was studying. "You will be busy. With us. Doing this."

Nelo flicked back her blonde hair. "You wish." She muttered sourly, slamming the door behind her as she stormed into the small bathroom.

Rain looked up from the bed. "Maybe we should just find another Witch who will perform the ritual more agreeably than her."

Nelo poked her head out. "Just you try it!" She snapped.

Sasi shook her head. "No, that wouldn't work anyway. We've all partaken in the blood ritual so we must finish this."

Rain raised an eyebrow. "What about the Slayer?" She asked quietly.

"I say we kill her." Nelo muttered.

Sasi closed the book firmly and raised her eyebrows.. "We can't kill the Slayer!" She cried.

Rain sat up and frowned. "Why not?"

Sasi rolled her eyes. "Use your brain." She answered, standing up. "Look guys, I'm going to the nearest magic shop and stock up on supplies. Do you want to come?"

Rain nodded slightly, her beautiful dark red highlights shimmering in the morning light.

"No, I've got things to do, people to see."

Sasi smiled slightly. "Sure, whatever, Nelo. We'll be back in an hour."

Willow smiled at Oz and Angel reassuringly as she strolled happily back into the mansion.

Cordelia raised an eyebrow. "What did you do?" She demanded, suspicious of Willow's grinning face.

Willows shrugged innocently. "Nothing." She looked around. "Where's Giles and Buffy?"

"Gone down to see Buffy's strength and so on." Xander answered, standing up.

Anya scowled, as Xander pulled her up. "Bet they're having hot monkey sex!" She muttered sourly.

Angel's expression turned dark and he immediately went down to the basement.

"Well done Anya, honey!" Lorne sighed, quickly following the angry vampire. "I'll go make sure Angel cakes don't turn nasty."

Anya rolled her eyes and gazed at Xander. "Xander, we need to go and open the Magic Box!" She looked at Xander intently, her eyes telling all that she meant for a lot more than opening to be done.

Xander blushed slightly and nodded, ignoring Cordelia's knowing smile and Doyle's grin. "Yeah, okay."

"Oh, can I come with you? I need to find out something and get some ingredients."

Anya's eyes narrowed. "Do you have money?" She snapped.

Willow nodded slowly.

Anya smiled brightly. "Ok! But Oz will have to drive you there, cause, well, I don't want you in the brand new car!"

Xander sighed and led Anya towards the door. "Now, Ahn. Remember that little chat we had about the."

Cordelia smirked at the couple as they disappeared outside, followed by Willow and Oz.

Doyle looked around. "Well, what should we do?"

"I know!" Cordelia announced, pulling a small plastic card out of her purse. "Let's go shopping!"

Doyle squinted at the small writing. "Hey! Isn't that my card?" He asked.

Cordelia flashed him a grin. "If you want it, come and get it!" She taunted, running as fast as she could wearing stilettos.

Connor grinned at Doyle. "Whipped, much?" He teased, as his friend got up to follow his girlfriend.

Doyle sighed. "Very." He answered, walking out the door.
