Right Kind of Wrong

General Mac- Faith is not going to be upset with Buffy over Angel.
Naweoh- You were a little slow, but not too much. You got it correct Angel, Buffy, and Cordelia were a threesome more than once. Sometimes Angel participated, and sometimes it was Buffy and Cordelia. I will give you a shiny new nickel.
To my anonomyse reviewer- That's the point to hate Cordelia and Angel both. Don't worry we'll have a reunion soon enough with our favorite slayers.
Angel pulled the car into the mall parking lot he glanced over at Buffy, and she looked back at him. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what, so he said the first thing that came to mind.
"We are here to get you some clothes. Do not try anything stupid like escape or draw attention to us. If you do that, you will be punished, and believe me Buffy you wouldn't want that. It would make the games we used to play look like a walk in the park, this time Cordelia won't be here to save you." He told her none too friendly.
Buffy looked at him with tears in her eyes, she refused to let them fall. Something like that would give him satisfaction and that is not what she wanted to give him. To keep herself from crying she thought back to her phone conversation with Faith. That is all that she could hold on to until she was rescued.
"Fine, I won't draw attention to us, but I will not be treated less than what I am. So help me god, if you fuck with me slayer power or not I won't hesitate to stake your ass. As far as your punishing me, I think it's the other way around, it's torture for you to be so close, but not able to touch. It burns you up inside that Faith and I can screw each other from sun up to sun down." She gave him a smirk.
"Get out of the car now, let's go." He said gruffly.
Buffy opened the door and got out, she was very proud of herself, one for the slayer, none for the vampire. Deciding it was best not to anger him further, she followed him into the mall. The first store was Fred Siegel, Buffy lived in there.
"Pick out some clothes; I have to drop something off in the mail." He handed her a credit card, "Pick up whatever you need, but you need to be here when I get back." He told her.
"Ay, Ay, Captain!" She mocked saluted and went into the store to do some damage.
Angel glanced at Buffy and walked over to the local UPS store. The lady behind the counter greeted him a little too friendly.
"Welcome to the UPS store, what can I help you with?" The lady asked.
Angel pulled a letter out of his pocket and handed it to the lady, "I want this sent over night, to this address it's very important that they receive it." He told her.
"Your total is going to be $12.95; it will be there first thing in the morning." She gave him a receipt with a tracking number on it.
Without another word he took it and walked out, a smile playing on his face. Cordelia is going down, and Buffy will be his finally. Life was good if you're a vampire, but he didn't know that the fates were not with him.
Fifteen outfits, ten pairs of shoes, unmentionables, and everything else, Buffy felt better. She just hoped that her girlfriend would come and get her sooner. She paid for her purchases and waited for Angel. Something was really wrong with this he wouldn't have up and kidnapped her, unless he is trying to cover up or hide something. Immediately her mind wandered to the first time she, Angel, and Cordelia were together. They had just finished being hunted by Mr. Trick and his associates; they were trashed from head to toe. They entered the dance and everyone was looking at them, they didn't win so they left. Patrol and small talk was made until they were in front of Angel's mansion. Without hesitation Buffy opened the door and was surprised to see Angel in front of the fire place doing Tai Chi in the buff...
"Buffy where were you? I was trying to get your attention for the past five minutes." He told her.
"I'm sorry, I was just thinking about something Faith and I did the other day." She couldn't very well tell him what she was thinking about.
"Did you get everything that you needed?" He asked her.
Angel grabbed her bags and grimaced at how much they had in them. He just hoped that she didn't bankrupt him.
"I need to go to Bath and Body Works, to pick up some shower gel, shampoo, and some essentials." She gave him a smile.
"Buffy, I'm sorry about being an asshole; it's just that there are something's going on that you don't know about. You and I are going to have to talk when we get back to the hotel. It's not going to be pretty, but I can't live with the guilt anymore." He told her softly.
Confusion was clearly written on her face, he needed to tell her something. Her mind was going a million miles a minute. Does he want to talk about their encounters together with Cordelia? They walked to Bath and Body Works and Angel waited outside while Buffy got her toiletries. Once she walked out he escorted her back to the car, no other words were exchanged.
"Angel I have a question, why did you kidnap me?" She asked him softly.
"Buffy we will discuss this when we get back to the hotel. The last thing I need right now is to have a brassed off slayer on my hands. Please let it go until then." He pleaded with her.
Buffy sat back and put her arms across her chest, she was clearly pissed. She really hated being weak. Angel couldn't help but smile at his one time beloved, she may have matured, but there was very much a little girl still inside. He pulled the car into Ralph's Grocery and got out.
"Pick out whatever you like or whatever you want. I want you to be comfortable and have food around that you enjoy."
Food sounded real good to her right now, she hadn't eaten anything since last night. She grabbed a cart and they walked down the individual aisles together. Buffy picked up ice cream, fixings for a salad, some microwave meals, chips, pop corn, and some Coca Cola. Angel frowned at her food selections when she wasn't looking he put some bacon, eggs, bread, and some other healthy things for her to eat. Once the cart was full they made their way to the checkout counter.
"Is there anything else you need while we're here?" He asked her.
"No, nothing else right now." She smiled softly at him.
Angel paid for their purchases and they exited the store. The tension in the car was already gone, but there was a dark cloud over their heads. Whatever was going to happen wasn't going to be pretty. The ride back to the Hyperion was made in silence, neither one knew what to talk about. Buffy's mind was going over what Angel wanted to talk to her about. She just hoped that he wasn't trying to declare his undying love for her, that would be too clichéd. Angel pulled the car into the garage and stopped the car, Buffy was the first one out followed by Angel. He helped her bring her parcels up to her room; hopefully she would share it with him. They took everything upstairs, he told her to get situated and he will be back to talk to her in a little bit. Buffy put up her clothes and her food, she debated on taking a shower now or a shower later. It wasn't too hard, she grabbed some clothes, and her bath supplies and went to the bathroom.
Faith was sitting in the Summers living room with Joyce. The elder Summers was visibly relaxed after she heard that Buffy was alright. She didn't know what she would have done if something bad did happen to her daughter.
"Willow is going to look up the info that Buffy gave us. So by tomorrow we can get her and bring her home." She reassured the woman who was like a mother to her.
"I just want her home. Why would he do something like this? I don't understand." She asked.
"I don't know there's just something about Buffy that makes people crazy." Faith replied.
Joyce let out a small chuckle, her daughter was indeed something else. She was about to say something else until the phone rung.
"Hello... Yes do you know where she is... The Hyperion Hotel, in LA... I will be sure to tell her... Thanks Willow... Bye" Joyce hung up the phone, a huge smile on her face.
Faith looked at her in concern, but it faded away to something else. Willow must have come through if Joyce is smiling like that.
"That was Willow, she found out where Buffy is. She's at the Hyperion Hotel in LA." Joyce told the slayer.
"You're shitting me! Red found her? Oh I could kiss her." She exclaimed.
"You will be taking a road trip to LA after your last class tomorrow. She said be ready, and have your supplies handy."
Faith jumped up and hugged Joyce, and went to call Giles; he would be delighted that Buffy was found safe and sound.
"Where are you going?" Joyce asked the girl.
"I'm going to call Giles, he's been worried." She ran up the stairs to Buffy's room.
Faith dialed Giles number and waited for him to answer. This news was too good to keep to themselves, she was debating on whether to tell Cordelia or not. It didn't take long to answer that question, Queen C would just have to see for herself.
"Rupert Giles speaking." The voice came over the line.
"Giles, I have some news about Buffy. It's good trust me." She reassured him.
"What is it? Where is she? Does Angel indeed have her?" He questioned.
Faith laughed at his questions, "She is in LA, some hotel, and Dead Boy does have her. Whatever you do, do not tell C or X-man. I want to surprise them." She told him.
"I won't say a word. Please bring her home safely." He told her.
"Sure will, oh and when we get her back, you won't see her for a while."
Faith could hear Giles cleaning his glasses over the phone. She loved making him blush, he was just to stuffy for her tastes.
"Have a good night Faith."
They hung up the phone and Faith lay back on Buffy's bed. A huge weight has been lifted off of her chest. Now she just had to get everything set up for the week-end, it was their anniversary coming up after all. With that on her mind she drifted off to a peaceful sleep.
Cordelia, Willow, and Xander were at the Bronze enjoying a night out. Willow was having a hard time keeping her secret, well secret, but she promised Faith she wouldn't say anything. Oz was on stage with Dingoes Ate My Baby, he was the only one who officially knew, outside of Faith, Joyce, and herself, but default Giles.
"Willow, what's with the giddiness? You've been hyper girl all night." Xander joked.
"Me hyper, gosh no I'm just excited about Oz playing. No, nothing out of the ordinary going on. Coffee I had too much coffee; you know how Buffy says coffee and me aren't mix-y things." She babbled out.
Cordelia looked at her strangely, either she was up to something or she knows something.
"Where you able to find Buffy?" Cordelia asked.
"We did find out that she was at the Marriott outside of Sunnydale, but she left with Angel. We don't know where she is right now, hopefully she will be alright. Faith is climbing the walls with worry." Willow said, nonchalantly.
"So, she is MIA? We'll find her, I wonder what Dead Boy wants with her?" Xander questioned.
"He is still obsessed with the girl, anyone can see that. Maybe he just wants to cause trouble between Buffy and Faith. He obviously doesn't want to see the two of them together, or he just doing it to get Faith out of the picture." Cordelia surmised.
The prom queen looked up and saw two pairs of eyes looking intently at her. She thought about what she had said, and could have hit herself mentally.
"How would you know that? I didn't even come up with that." The red head asked.
"Well, sometimes you don't see what's in front of you. I mean why else would he come up with this elaborate scheme. He's not happy that Buffy is not his, put it together and it equals 'duh'." She responded.
Xander just gave a shrug of his shoulders and went on enjoying the music, "Does any of you dames care to dance?"
Willow held up her hand and Xander escorted her to the dance floor. Cordelia was at the table watching the scene unfold. She needed to call Angel and find out what exactly is going on. It made her blood boil to think about Angel putting his vampire hands all over her girl.
