Right Kind of Wrong
Once More with Disclaimers, we all know they do not belong to me. It's something we have to add anyway so deal!
Buffy stepped out the shower feelinga lotbetter; the warm water really did her good. Deciding on a pair of shorts and a shirt she got dressed, she wondered what Angel had to talk to her about. She hoped that it wasn't anything completely bad, like he was going to keep her forever or he will kill all of her family. A knock sounded at her door and she went to go answer it, knowing already that it was Angel. Why they were at a deserted hotel was beyond her? She stepped aside so he could enter; he took a look around the room and saw that Buffy had already put her signature on it.
"You said you wanted to talk, so talk." She said cutting to the chase.
"Why don't we sit down, I've been going over and over at how I am going to tell you this. You asked me a question earlier today as to why I kidnapped you."
Buffy was about to interrupt but he held a hand up silencing her. A move that she knows all to well.
"I wasn't alone in this, and when you find out the whole story it's going to either piss you off or ruin a friendship because of it. Regardless of the outcome I will still love you even if you don't." He told her softly.
Buffy just nodded her head and waited for him to continue. Angel let out a non-existent breath and began telling his tale.
"As you know I was in LA looking for redemption and fighting the good fight. I was doing well until I saved that gypsy woman. I found out my soul was permanent and I wanted to come home to you. I knew at that time that you were in a relationship with Faith. When I came home I pretended like I didn't know, because that was part of the plan."
"Wait a minute, if you know that I was with Faith, then why did you make a big deal about it? How did you find out? And who the hell have you been planning with?" She asked angrily.
Angel knew that she was going to get upset, but she needed to know this. Not only will it make him feel better, it will truly make her see who Cordelia Chase really is.
"I knew you were with Faith from the beginning because of Cordelia. She and I have been keeping close contact with each other. Evidently she was pissed because you and Faith were an item, hence one of the real reasons I came back. In our minds you don't belong with her, you should be with us." He told her.
Buffy tried to absorb everything she heard, at the moment she was too confused to be upset. She looked at Angel with unshed tears in her eyes, they planned this whole thing. She made a clean break with the both of them, why would Cordelia of all people do this?
"You mean to tell me that you and Cordelia have been plotting ever since you left? Why the hell can't people move on? I have, Cordelia clearly has Xander, and you can date whoever you want, we're ex remember. I loved you and her, but we knew that it wasn't going to work out, because we were going behind our friends backs screwing each other. Is that why you kidnapped me? What does Cordy have to gain from all of this? And what the hell possessed you to go along with this crazy shit?" She seethed.
The vampire knew this was going to come up and he had to explain. This last little bit was going to be the final nail in the coffin. It was now or never and it was going to either make or break them. He was going for the latter, after this she would probably want nothing to do with either one of them.
"We tried to move on, but it has been impossible for us. You've captured our heart, mind, and soul. You're not that easy to get over, why do you think she is still dating Xander? It doesn't take a genius to figure it out Buffy. What we had was something that could never be replaced, now you can't say that the relationship we had was not worth it. You were the happiest you have ever been, until Faith came along and decided to screw things up."
"First of all Faith didn't screw anything up, our relationship was good at best, but we all knew that it wasn't going anywhere. Don't you dare bring Xander in this; he had nothing to do with it!" She yelled at him.
"Buffy shut it up! Let me finish what I have to say, this could greatly affect your relationship with Faith and your friends!" He yelled back.
"Fine, what else is there to tell?" She sighed.
"Cordelia wanted to separate you and Faith; you disappear or pretend to move on with me. Faith decides to move on with her life, you come back find out and pretty much end things. You go crying to her, and she could make her move. If you didn't go along with it, there's a video tape that she made of us, and she threatened to expose us if I didn't do what she said." He finally told her.
The slayer didn't know whether to let the tears fall or throw up. She trusted the both of them, perhaps more than she did Xander and Willow. Now there is actually a tape of the three of them together, if that got out it could ruin possibly everything. This could cause her to lose Faith forever.
"So you are telling me his now, what's in it for you?" She asked snidely.
"I couldn't live with this guilt anymore; I had to say something to you. I should have never been a part of this whole thing. You are truly happy with Faith and I don't want to stand in the way of your happiness. It means more to me than anything, that's why I sent a letter to Faith explaining to her everything that Cordelia has done." He told her.
"Wait a minute, you sent a letter to my girlfriend telling her what's going on? Way to fuck things up Angel, now she won't take me back, if you told her what I think you told her."
Buffy got up and began pacing back and forth; this day couldn't get any worse could it? He just single handedly messed everything up with Faith. She would have a hard time making up this one. She looked back at him with a deep scowl and Angel flinched, he knew she was pissed beyond the highest levels of being pissed.
"Buffy, I didn't tell her what the three of us did, but I told her that Cordelia is also behind this, I explained how she helped me and everything else. I don't want to ruin anything that you have with Faith and your friends, that's the last thing that I want. I just wanted to tell you that. Cordelia is still seriously obsessing over you; she has been since the first time you set foot into Sunnydale High." He told her.
The blonde let out a collective sigh of relief, but she was still upset. She wished she had a stake so he could stake his ass already, but will save that honor for Faith. One twisted individual is enough, but two, they entered into a deadly game, and everyone who played a part are going to get burned. She prayed to whoever was listening that everything will come out good, but she had to come clean with Faith.
"I know Cordy had a thing for me, she wasn't very obvious in hiding it. We should have thought twice before starting the kind of relationship we had. It truly wasn't worth all of this, now I have no choice but to come clean to Faith. She gets that letter and first thing that's going to happen she's going to go straight to Cordy, and all hell will break loose." She sobbed.
Angel wanted to put his arms around the girl, but thought against it. He really didn't want her to get the wrong idea.
"Could you leave me alone now? I have a lot to think about." She cried.
Angel stood up and walked to the door, "Sure, I'll be in my room if you need to talk." He told her softly.
Without looking back he walked out the door. Buffy lay on the bed body wracked with tears. Her life was about to change and not necessarily for the better. Hopefully after all this stuff clears she and Faith would be stronger for it. Then again it was before she and Faith got together, no harm no foul right? Wrong on so many levels, like they always say 'Whatever is done in the dark, always come to light.' Unfortunately this was going to shed all kinds of light. Not wanting to think anymore, Buffy fell into a dreamless sleep.
Angel was downstairs doing what he did best brood. He really didn't want to cause her any pain. That was the last thing that he wanted to do, in a way he hoped that it would sway her over to his side. When he was in LA for those few months, his life had no semblance of meaning, yes he was helping the hopeless, but he was hopeless without the slayer. They were not supposed to be together a Vampire and a Vampire Slayer, it wasn't natural. He fell in love with her the first time he saw her, it was kind of hard not to, she was sunny and bright, and had a heart that she wore on her sleeve for everyone to see. Buffy to him was the perfect picture of innocence something that most slayers lacked. Deciding that he had enough brooding and went to patrol, he wouldn't have to think so much.
The sun was shining on Faith's face when she awoke. It was Tuesday and she only had two classes today, then it was off to LA. She looked over at the night stand to see what time it was, instead of a seeing the clock, she saw an envelope addressed to her. She reached over and picked it up, it didn't have a return address it was kind of weird. Her slayer senses weren't going crazy so she opened it and a piece of paper fell out. Seeing nothing else she picked it up and began to read.
Faith,
I know that I am the last person that you want to hear from, but there is something important that I have to tell you. First of all don't be angry with Buffy anymore, she had nothing to do with this; she was an innocent in this whole crazy plan. I had to tell you because the guilt was eating away at me. Now that that's out of the way on to the hard part.
I had no plans of coming back to Sunnydale, I was going to stay in LA and keep my distance from Buffy. I knew about you two being together all along, I came back to see if it was true and if Buffy was happy. I had my answer the way she would look when she talked about you, and the way you look at each other, the way we used to look at each other. I was happy for her, but someone was not, and I believe that you know who it is. Cordelia called me in LA and told me about the two of you being together, and that I should come back to Sunnydale to ruin that happiness, so she could have Buffy to herself. Since high school she had been crushing on Buffy, it grew tenfold when their senior year started. She was dating Xander just to be next to Buffy, they were getting closer, but you came into the picture and screwed up everything. So we, well she hatched this plan of taking Buffy away to drive you two apart, and Cordelia was all she had left, because they were such good friends. Basically she wanted to rekindle what they had, if Xander and you weren't in the picture the would've become a couple. That's how deep their feelings ran.
I wrote you this to let you know, I meant no harm, after I send this off I'm going to explain everything to Buffy. She has a right to know as well as you, I'm sorry for all of the pain I caused you and Buffy. I see now that you two belong together and I will not stand in your way. As for Cordelia she could be a bigger threat to your relationship if you don't stop her.

Faith read and re-read the letter over again, she couldn't believe that Queen C was behind all of this. Heads were going to roll, and hers was going to be the first, she put the letter in her pocket, no one else needs to know about this. She would make sure of that, no doubt. She went to the bathroom and washed her face and brushed her teeth, thanking god that she had the common sense to leave a toothbrush over there.
Joyce was already gone to the gallery so Faith walked to the campus, she needed a change of clothes and have it out with The Prom Queen herself. The signs were there in front of her all along, when she first came to Sunnydale those two were always laughing, and joking, sharing little touches, the looks they shared when they thought no one else were watching. Then things got a little weirder when we found out that Angel had returned from hell, Cordelia was the only one who didn't seem so surprised. When they (Buffy and Faith) got together, there was a whole lot of jealousy on the brunette's part. She would try to get in a few digs whenever Faith was around, but Buffy would always come to her defense. The signs were there and she was just too blind to see.
The slayer made her way to the dorm room she and Buffy shared. She pulled out her clothes for the day, and headed to the shower. Somehow they lucked out and got the dorm room with their own personal bathroom, she wasn't complaining, she and Buffy had lots of fun in the shower. Her mind drifted to Buffy and how much she missed the blonde girl. The way she smiled when something made her happy, her laugh, the pastels that she used to wear, hell she just missed Buffy all together, but in a few hours she would be home and Dead Boy will be dust.
Faith got out of the shower and put her clothes on. She was on a mission to confront a brunette bitch. She walked out of the dorm and saw Willow, Oz, Xander and the Prom Queen sitting under a tree. She marched over there startling everyone who was eating their breakfast.
"Faith what's with the whole coming over here pissed mode?" Willow asked.
Faith decided not to play her hand just yet, "I got something real interesting in the mail today from LA." She looked at Cordelia wickedly.
The panic and confusion was written all over the brunette girls face. Xander was completely oblivious to this, but Oz picked up on it.
"What would you get from LA? Who do you know in LA?" Xander asked.
Faith looked at Cordelia again, "Well, that's where that sick son of a bitch Dead Boy has my Buffy." She smiled again, this time scaring Willow.
"If that's where she is, then how come you didn't go get her?" Oz asked, breaking his monosyllabic ways.
"We didn't know exactly where she was in LA. When my baby called me, she didn't know exactly where she was." She let the implication of what she said slip in.
Cordelia gave Xander a kiss on the cheek, "I really need to go, I have something I need to take care of before class." The brunette got up and walked away quickly.
"What the hell was that?" Xander asked.
"I don't know." Willow finally spoke up.
"I'm going to go find out, excuse me." Faith followed the brunette. She didn't have to look far because she was pacing back and forth in the quad.
"Well, well, well, Queen C. It seems like our littledebutante has been up to some fucked up shit." Faith teased.
"Listen Faith, I don't know what the hell you are talking about. But you're being a little overly dramatic don't you think?" The ice returning to her voice.
"What the fuck do you mean dramatic. You had my girl kidnapped, because of some sick twisted obsession you have with her!" Faith yelled.
"Obsession oh please, I love the girl, but not like that." Cordelia lied.
"Save it from somebody who cares, what the fuck do you have to win from this shit! What we break up, I move on, you have her again. Sorry buttercup but you never had her, not like I've had." Faith taunted the girl
A cruel smile came across the brunettes face, "Oh sweetie, I've had her in more ways than one." She said calmly.
"What the fuck does that mean?" She got up close to the brunettes face.
"How did you're girl know how to give it to you so good? I mean you were her first female companion right?" She walked off leaving Faith to think about what she said.
The proverbial light bulb went off in her head, "Fuck me!" She groaned out loud.
Insert evil laugh here, I couldn't let it be that simple now could I? What's going to happen next? Tune in next time for 'Right Kind of Wrong'
General Mac- You sound almost like a drug addict, and I'm like your pusher. I'm glad you are enjoying it though. Please don't take what I just said to heart, I was just joking.
Naweoh- Shopping is always a good thing, it makes you feel better. I should know, My name is Nicole and I'm a shopoholic. You know I couldn't have Faith not rescue her girl that would be plain evil! I hope this chapter was satisfying enough, I should have the next part up sometime tonight.
