A/N: Sorry for the really long wait you guys. I have been unusually busy these last few weeks. Well okay more like months. Anyways here is chapter 6, hope you enjoy.

Chapter 6

"Okay. Okay. Let's go to your house and I'll explain on the way. But by the way, can I, uhh, spend the night tonight?" Buffy asked it kind of hesitantly. After all she had only known Willow and Xander for a week.

"Oh yeah sure. My Mom won't care. She'll love you." They headed out the door, avoiding Angel's view, and grabbing Xander on the way.

"Hey—Oh hey Buffy! Wait-Hey, where are we going?" They were practically pulling him out the door, in their haste.

"Leaving." Buffy said, pulling him even faster out the door. All she wanted was to get away from the Bronze as soon as possible so that Angel did not see her. And as usual that was the exact opposite of what happened.

As soon as they reached the door, Angel turned around at a commotion that a bunch of people were making. To find out that the bunch of people had Buffy with them. And then he freaked out. If Buffy was there, had she seen him with Spike? And what would she do if she found out that he was friends with a vampire. After just telling her that he had a soul and fought against vampires and the like. Oh shit, he thought, I need to explain things better to her. She must think I'm some stupid jerk now, wait… why do I care? I mean I'm a vampire, with a soul, but still a vampire non-the-less. I'm supposed to be mean. But god she's beautiful. Okay I need to go after her and explain everything and this time I mean everything. He took off after her knowing that she might not want to even talk to him. But he had to explain everything. Even the part where he knew that she was the one for him. That he had seen it in a prophesy an old oracle had told him nearly a year ago, that one day she would chose the dark, and be beside his side forever.

His only thoughts as he raced after her in the dark, was what if she turned him down? What if now after that little stunt he had pulled back at his apartment, she thought she did not want to be in a relationship? If she no longer wanted him? But he couldn't just leave her alone. She was a fire in his blood now, and nothing was going to keep him from her. Nothing and no one. And if that meant giving up his friendship with Spike, then so be it. Spike was not all that important. He had only been his brother in crime, for a hundred years. Well okay so it might be a little hard to not be friends with Spike. But he had to at least try, for Buffy.

He had just turned a corner when he almost ran headlong into a full out brawl with Buffy in the middle of it all. He knew that he should help, but just watching her, was mesmerizing him.

Buffy had just wanted to go over to Willows house without running into any vampires, but of course with her luck that could never happen. And as she was just killing the last of them, another turned up. He looked far more intimidating then the rest of them; he would be the leader, just watching in the shadows, waiting to make his move. And then he found it and took it. He moved onto the street from where he had been standing on the sidewalk.

"So…This is the Slayer? Well I'd of thought you would be…well bigger. Are you sure you're the Slayer? I think the wind could blow on you and you'd fall over." He was only making fun of her, but it still hurt the same. She got made fun of all the time because she was so short. But that only invoked her anger and gave her more strength. So after her initial anger went away, she found she had some witty little comment to say about him as well.

"Well at least I'm still pretty." She said it looking right in his eyes knowing that that would anger him and make him lunge at her, which she knew was going to be his first mistake.

And sure enough just as she finished that last thought, he did just that, lunging at her and trying to catch her off guard. Only it didn't work 'cause of course she knew that it was coming so was able to counterattack his move. Sliding to the side and tripping him, making him fall and skid face down on the asphalt. She picked him up and threw him into the nearest tree. He hit the tree with a very audible thwack. And as soon as he had gotten to his feet she was there already, throwing him back, so that he hit the tree again, and she continued to punch his stomach and face a couple few times. She had finally had enough of beating him up and was about to stake him, making this the first vampire who was the easiest stake she had ever done, when he suddenly put on a burst of strength and pushed her off and away from him.

"Now let's see what you can actually do."

"Well you saw what I could do. To bad you won't see anything anymore." Buffy spoke down to the vampire who was reduced to a big pile of dust. "Well that was fun, let's go now."

"Yeah okay. But uhh…Buffy I think that there is someone who wants to talk to you." Willow said rather hesitantly. Looking over Buffy's left shoulder.

"Oh…Who?"

"Umm… Behind you."

Buffy slowly turned around and came into eye contact with those incredibly annoying chocolate brown eyes. That just so happened to belong to a very annoying person of whom she would rather kill right now then actually talk to.

"Angel. What are you doing here?"

"I… I- Do you think that maybe we could talk?" It was rather amazing to see him stutter, seeing as he was always so calm and again with the annoying.

"Why?" It was exactly what he was expecting, but he could think of no way of convincing her to go with him and talk.

"Please, Buffy. I really need to explain some things to you."

"I don't know if that is such a good idea. And why should you have to explain your actions. I'm not your mother, granted your mother probably died a long time ago." She was bitter, but could you blame her?

"Well I want to explain. Please?"

"Fine, but only for a little while." Not letting her change her mind he grabbed her hand and made her walk right beside him, so that he could explain everything to her.
