2 more hours later

Willow woke up groggy and put a hand on her forehead which was pounding profusely.

"ehh" She moaned. Slowly sitting up.

"Good your awake, I was starting to worry." Giles said, sitting in the corner on one of the comfy chairs. Facing the bed that Willow was currently on.

"What time is it" Willow moaned out.

"Around 5ish I would imagine"

"Iv been out for two hours!" She moved her feet to the floor and cradled her head in her hands trying to clear away the fogginess.

"More like and hour and fifty four minutes, but yes"

"Wow, took me awhile to recoup"

"Yes well, one would expect that from a dark arts spell" Giles said his concerned tone gone and his condescending one taking place

"I needed one that would protect Spike also, and you know better then me that light deities don't like protecting the undead" Willow said staring Giles in the eyes.

"Yes, but still doesn't give you any right to take the Libro Delle Malvagità Nere from my private collection!" Giles was close to yelling at the girl he considered a daughter.

"Fine, Sorry, Sue me, worked didn't it!" Willow shot back, tears in her eyes ready to spill.

"W-Well yes, but Willow that's a door you've opened that you possibly didn't close." Worry back in his voice.

"Giles im fine, honest, all regular wicca Willow. Nothing different. Cross my heart" Willow said, a sick feeling forming in the pit of her stomach.

"Yes well then, Im still concerned and I feel we need to discu..."

"Who's Driving?" Willow interrupted, hoping he would changed the subject.

"W-who, oh, well Xander is at the moment" Willow gave a worried look to Giles.

"Giles!" He gave her a startled look at her outburst "Xander has motion sickness how can he possibly drive."

"Oh dear" Willow bolted for the door and threw it open, and noticed to her relief that Xander was vomiting in the bathroom, Spike was still on the floor next to the bedroom door, Dawn and Anya were eating semi-burnt meat, and Buffy was driving.

"I suddenly need to lie down" Giles said, turning back into the bedroom and closing the door.

"Like we don't" Anya bit at him through a mouth full of meat.

"Ahn" Xander wined, stepping out of the bathroom his hands over his stomach. "Not polite to talk with your mouth full of food".

"Oooo and the fact that he can see the food in your mouth, probably not helping much" Dawn chipped in with a bright smile after taking another large bite and grimacing.

"Do it again demon girl, might make the shrimp run back to the loo" Willow smiled down at Spike, and right when he looked up at her Buffy hit a rather large pot hole and sent a weak Willow toppling over onto his lap.

"Easy Luv, Spike's got you" Spike helped her up to a seat "Think you could kill us all faster Slayer, I think you missed one, maybe you can go back and hit it, but faster this time." Spike bit out angrily, and worried about Red at the same time.

"Spike, Shut-up" Buffy said with a cold undertone.

"Spike this, Spike that, always something the slayer wants Spike to do" he mumbled angrily under his breath. "Were we going anyway" He yelled at her.

"Angel's" She stated.

"The Bloody Poofsters, Have you gone off your rocker, one to many undead dust particles clogged up your brain" Spike jumped up yelling.

"I'm with Deadboy junior over there, why do we need to go see Deadboy senior. I mean Buff. one vamp is one thing another vamp is another thing. it all adds up to bad things." Xander said. "And don't you remember the, I'm happy Im evil phase, I don't think he needs to be around his from of PNP right now" Buffy shot him a glare behind her drivers seat.

"Xander! Angel and Angelus are two very different people...er vampires and he deserves some respect for all the countless times he's saved your ass" Willow bit out.

"Angelus?" Anya asked. "Were going to go see Angelus, you know at the next stop I really would like to get off" Everyone gave odd looks.

"Angelus, hello, you should be wanting to get off to, Hell god has a fast death, Angelus shoots the word death into a whole new dimension. Defiantly don't want to be around when he decides he needs a new murder experiment". Anya supplied in a matter-of-fact way.

"He has a soul now" Buffy supplied.

"That is if you don't go sleeping with him" Dawn snapped.

"Enough Dawn, That is none of your business" Buffy snapped back, the tears forming in her eyes making the LA road blurry.

"Buff maybe I should drive" Xander wobbled up to the drivers seat.

"No" She snapped.

"Buffy"

"NO!" She yelled back. causing Xander to sit in the seat next to her.

"Ok, so Angelus has a soul, Still not feeling better here" Anya said.

"Never liked him much anyway either" Dawn supplied giving Anya's hand a light squeeze.

"Pffft. Your all pansy's"

"And why is that Spike" Xander asked sarcastically.

"Oooh that's rich" he laughed "You mean the little witch over here didn't tell you"

"Tell us what?"Anya asked.

"She has a soul binding connection with that ol' dad of mine, I feel her link when I feel my Sires. She bound his soul to hers can't believe she didn't say anything, what a bad bad girl" Willow shot fire and brimstone at Spike and then looked frantically at the accusatory eyes of Xander, Dawn, Anya and Giles who had apparently overheard everything. Buffy just kept driving.

"Willow, why didn't you think it necessary to tell us that Angel's soul was permanent?" Giles asked slowly in an attempt to keep his rage in check, as he stood in the door frame to the bedroom. Willow had the decency to look ashamed.

"It wasn't my place to tell" Willow said quietly.

"Your kidding right Willow, this is life or death situations here, what if he took another trip on the dark side, he'd be able to find you anywhere in the world because someone had to go and establish a soul connection with the undead!" Xander yelled at her, pointing a finder the entire time.

"What part of the permanent soul part didn't you get zeppo?" Spike shot back in Willow's defense.

"The part were she has a soul binding connection with captain hair gel!" Xander bit back. Dawn stifled a laugh at his statement.

"Captain Hair Gel?" Anya asked amidst the yelling and glares.

"You should see the amount of hair products he keeps in a bathroom, and his hair stands strait up, even after a huge fight it's still perfect, every single time, I'm telling you that's not natural" Dawn leaned over and whispered in Anya's ear. Anya nodded her head, then laughed quietly.

"Willow what you did was dangerous, and not thinking to tell anybody about your plan, are there anymore dark magic's you've been doing that we deserve to know about!" Giles continued to accuse, his face bright red with anger.

"First Off" Willow started standing up meet Giles eye to eye. "What I do, and who I do it with, or to in this matter is none of your business" Willow said her anger rising also.

"You've slept with him?" Anya asked.

"Willow, how could you have sex with, with...!" Xander couldn't even finish the sentence

Spike was rocking on his feet, loving the show and feeling sorry for Red at the same time. As well as having a small appreciation for Anya's ability to take things literally, misinterpret, and then cause a ruckus with her questions.

"I didn't!" She turned around and yelled back .

"Well someone had to test drive it!" Xander yelled back "And who better then the one that gave him the..." Xander fell back as Willow stood above him, Xander gripped his jaw were Willow had hit him.

"Kittens got Claws" Spike said mostly to himself. Admiring the Witch's back side.

"Xander, Giles, this is the end of this discussion, I did what I had to do, and I'm not going to feel bad about it either, so just shut your mouths and move on" Willow stomped over to the door passing Spike along the way. He reached out to touch her shoulder and she turned to him sharply. "Your lucky Dawn needs you right now, If not you would be wearing a very small pelt of fur right now" Willow glared at him one last time and slammed the flimsy door frame to the bedroom.

"Everyone seems to be slamming that poor door today, anyone ever think of how the door feels" Anya stated flippantly.

After that everyone stayed silent up until the point they arrived at Angel's front door.

"Buffy Hi, Long time no see...and what did you do to your hair?" Cordy said sounding horrified.

"Cordy, not right now, where's Angel"

"Oh fine, nice to see you to, been awhile, I'm good, Yes those are highlights in my hair that is now shorter then my shoulders, and thanks so much for busting down our doors"

"Pack some things. Get outside. Were is Angel" Buffy's statements were short and sharp.

"In his office, God, I don't even want to know"

"Buffy, Hi Um..." Buffy stormed up to his desk and glared down at him.

"I need you" Angel squirmed. Misinterpreting her words.

"Buffy - I" Angel was confused and really didn't know how to handle this particular situation. If he could blush he would have. " I..um" Buffy was oblivious to his misunderstanding.

"I need you to help me protect Dawn from a hell god named Glory. Dawn's a key, she gets used and dimensions get ripped apart. You and Spike and me are the best chance Dawn has for protection. Willow can add you and Cordelia to the protection spell and were ganna need way bigger wheels ASAP." Buffy paused as Angel processed all the information. Buffy got impatient. "Can you perform or not" Angel's mind hit the gutter again.

"I can" Angel picked up the phone and started dialing "is a tour bus big enough for you?" He asked glancing up at his old love of his life.

"Peachy" she said flopping down on a leather chair in front of his desk.

"Wes and Fred are coming also" He stated before his other line picked up. "Hi Victor, About that favor you owe me..."

"This is soo cool, It's a two story tour bus, what band" Dawn was giddy and bouncing around.

"Beds. Look Xander beds. We can..."

"Anya, Don't" Xander cut her off before she could say something about sex.

"What, I wasn't going to say how those beds look great for having sex on. I was just going to say now we can all sleep, there's enough beds for everyone almost. some are going to have to share but still" Xander put his head in his hands and Angel nearly choked on his tea.

"Yeah mate" Spike hit his sire's back and Angel glared back at him "She's always like that" answering his sires silent question. Then he leaned forward so his lips were inches from Angels ear "And I know about your bond to the witch" Angel Tensed "Tell me, do you dream of fucking the innocence out of her"

In a instant Spike was up against a the side of the bus's inner walls, pinned down by his sire's body. "Don't test me boy" Spike just laughed in his face.

"You do don't you. Isn't that fascinating, I think things just got interesting" Spike smiled as his sire stalked down the bus hall to the main bedroom past the cots.

"You shouldn't have done that" Fred said silently, as she sipped her own cup of tea from her spot at the dinner table.

"Im sorry, You are luv" Spike leered.

"Fred" She replied meekly. Taking another sip of her tea.

"Fred" Spike let the name roll off his lips. "So do you and the whimsy Wes screw all the time or only on weekends" Fred blushed and looked down in shame.

"Scossa Con Danno" Spike flew a few feet, close to Wes who was driving, his mouth was pressed in a thin line. Glaring at the Red witch standing above him. "Faccia L'Anima Versarsi" Three large gashes scratched themselves across spikes Chest tearing his black shirt and soaking it in Blood.

"Fuck red, had I known you liked it rough..."

"Soffochi le sue parole" Willows eyes were black again, and Spike words were cut off as a image of a hand snaked out of thin air and started choking him. "Osso Dell'Ustione" Spike felt like he was on fire, and it was eating him inside out.

"Allontani le mie legature" And all the pain and the chocking stopped and the blood seeping from his three diagonal gashes clotted.

"Bleeding Christ have you lost your bloody mind witch"

"Scossa Con Danno" Willow waved her hand and he was in the same spot Angel had forced him earlier, only this time pinned by a invisible force, but definitely there.

Willow stalked up to him and pressed her body against his in a mockery of intimacy, she licked his ear slowly until she reached the top then bit down savagely drawing blood and tearing a bit of his skin. Spike hissed and tried to buck his hips forward but his body wouldn't move. "You were right Spike" Willow said in a seductive tone "This kitten does have claws, and there sharp" Then she pulled back and looked him square in the eye. "And I do like to play rough"

"Le Coupresoul" Spike felt his body being squeezed tighter and tighter until he heard his rib cage crack, and it felt like his eyes were going to pop out of his skull. Then suddenly all the pain stopped and he hit the floor in a heap.

"This. Will. Stop." Willow demanded.

"Or What?" Spike Challenge "You'll turn me to dust, your little party tricks are fun and amusing and all, but that's all they are party tricks" Spike raised his head to stare Willow in the eyes, defiance written in his, amusement and danger in hers.

"Your boring me Spike. Your words bore me. Your attitude bores me. Bore me to much and you'll wish I would turn you to dust. IT. Stops. NOW!" Her voice was a whisper but Spike had a sudden realization. His witch wasn't playing kids games anymore.

"Fine" Spike jumped up and leaned into her ear, running the back of his finders up an down her bicep, "And welcome to the big games sweetness" Spike replied in a whisper, as he stalked off to the front passengers seat to annoy Wesley.

"Angel are you ok" Willow tentatively stepped into the room. "I know he knows, so does Xander, and Anya, Buffy, Dawn and Giles. He kinda told them before I could stop him, I'm sorry"

"Not your fault Willow" he stated. sounding very forlorn. "Buffy's upstairs training with Giles"

"I know, Dawn is asleep. Wes is driving. Anya's cooking. Xander's Puking. Cordy is Sitting up front telling Wes directions. and Fred is sipping tea."

"Yeah, and your in here with a vampire" willow smiled at that comment because he sounded just a little light hearted. "Wanna tell me about this hell god...Dory?"

"Glory, and sure" she corrected as she sat down next to him on the bed

1 hour later

"Wow that's a lot of information to take in Willow" Angel said slightly stunned.

"Yeah, and gives you a sense that's end of the worldly type" Willow said with a half smile.

"And Buffy..."

"Got her ass kicked royally on more then one occasion"

"would explain her non-stop training going on upstairs"

"That's odd" Angel gave her a questioning look "Stairs and a bus in the same sentence"

"Yeah I guess it would be" Angel agreed.

"Cordelia, exactly were are we going" Wes asked annoyed with the seer.

"towards New York" Cordy supplied distractedly twisting her road map around.

"The long way I see" Wes sighed aggravated.

"Can't exactly take the freeway or Highways" Fred said in Cordy's defense.

"I guess your right" Wes said, suddenly realizing why Cordy was taking him through the deserted rout.

"Food Anyone" Anya asked. When she got no reply she just made herself a plate.

"Im hungry" Spike said to himself "Were did peaches stash the blood"

"Over in the mini fridge" Fred said quietly. Reading her magazine.

"Thanks Pet" That caught Fred off guard after his earlier ripping into her.

"Your welcome" she said softly. Spike sighed.

"Look Luv, about earlier, Yeah Sorry bout that. but don't be expecting an apology from me every time I get grumpy. Got that" He glanced over his shoulder to see Fred regarding him with curiosity, then turned back to emptying a O+ into a coffee mug.

"Oooo, take a left" Cordy said excitedly.

"You seem like a nice bird, didn't I try to kill you once" Spike asked

"Yeah you attacked the school, She also wished that Buffy never came to town once, that's kinda why im human, it's her fault, all of it" Anya supplied.

"Yeah, The snob right?" Spike said sitting down across from Anya and next to fred.

"I, for your information, am not a snob anymore" Cordy interjected.

"Right, still a bitch though" Spike said over his shoulder.

"Well duh" Cordy agreed. "It keeps the men at bay"

"She's not joking either" Fred said with a smile "Her attitude keeps our boss working also" She added with a small laugh.

"And the paycheck's coming in...Take a left at this crossroads thing" Cordy Continued

"When he's not brooding of course" Wes added. Following the Seers directions and taking a left.

"Angelus always brooded. Probably for different reasons, then now, but trust me your not going to be breaking that tradition" Spike scoffed. Cordy turned around in her seat to face Spike her interest perked.

"You mean her brooded when he was all soul free and you were the fanged four?"

"Fanged Four. Bird I should resent that, sounds just as corny as the Angelmobile" Spike said laughing inside.

"Fanged Four. You, Darla, Drucilla, Angelus" She replied thinking he didn't get it. She thought it was brilliant.

"I got that pet"

"She put way to much thought into that" Anya stated to herself.

"So what did I miss" Xander asked as he finally came out of the bathroom and everyone gave him a odd look.
