BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER

DARK REFLECTIONS

CHAPTER FIVE: LUST

AN: Though I loved the concept for this fic, most likely I will be updating this story irregularly, due to lack of reviews as well as lack of time. But I will continue giving this story a shot.

Daniel Nieves stumbled back into Buffy's house with Spike. As soon as he entered the threshold Giles sucked his teeth at the sight of the platinum hair vampire. He didn't know about him being ensouled, just caught bits and pieces from Xander. The last thing he heard about Spike had been about the attempted rape and that had been enough to make him want to pull out a stake and get rid of him for once and for all.

"Daniel, I know you're hurting, with everything that's happened the last couple of months and with this calling of being a Slayer, but you won't get rid of the pain by doing what you do. You have to embrace the pain and overcome it, not dwell in it." Giles said gingerly, not wanting to aggravate him.

"What are you talkin' 'bout pops?" Daniel replied, glaring at him.

"I know what you just got doing out there with Spike." As Giles said his name, he spat it out like he had gotten a awful taste in his mouth he needed to get rid of. Spike of course noticed it, but instead of glaring fiercely at the Watcher, he understood why the Watcher felt like he did and hung his head instead.

"Why you beefin' with Spike old man?" Daniel asked. He noticed the tension between the two, and though Giles was his Watcher, Spike seemed like an alright vampire.

"Daniel, please call me Giles, I'm not that old!" Giles snapped tersely.

Daniel gave him a half assed salute. "Yes, sir."

"I just think you shouldn't get too close to a soulless vampire so early into your Slayer life. You might lose judgement while patrolling." Giles said.

Spike sucked his breath. His fists were balled up into balls at his sides. He was about to head out the door, not Dawn , nor the Slayer that cared so much about him had defended him. Daniel's hand snapped out quick and grabbed the edge of his duster. "I truly value your opinion as a Watcher and all, but frankly it's my decision who I hang out with, and chill with. You call him evil and soulless, but this man loved the Slayer so much that he…"

Giles cut him off. "Tried to rape her."

"Damn Giles. Why you gotta interrupt? I was saying , yeah, him being all soulless and all went and got a soul for her, so she could see that he wasn't evil, that he could truly be good if she gave him half the chance." Daniel said.

"Deadboy Junior's got a soul?" Xander asked ouit loud.

"Yea, you wanker, and don't call me Deadboy, I'm not anymore, so sod off." Spike said.

"What's a soul Giles? Is it supposed to make you a good person or some shit, cause I have a soul, that didn't stop me from murdering, do you know how many people I've killed Giles? I have a soul don't I?"

"Two hundred and twenty confirmed kills." Giles said dully.

"Imagine how many unconfirmed. I am a killer, if anyone needs to be judge by y'all it's me, not Spike."

"But you did it for the country, Spike killed for fun." Xander spat out.

"I can tell you don't know that much about the military Xander. With all due respect to you, but the news you see on tv, it's all bullshit, do you know how many orphanages we blew up in Afghanistan, how many churches we dropped bombs on in Columbia. They don't tell you that shit on the news. And two, Spike's a fucking vampire, he needs to kill to live, we as humans slaughter cows and all other animals for nutrition, same with them. But, I am the Slayer, I will dust any vamps who try to feed on humans, make no mistake. Spike's an exception to my Slay all Vamps rule." Daniel retorted.

"And Angel… You can't stake him either." Willow said quietly. She had not spoken much, it was her first day back after all.

"Whose Angel?"

"I'll tell you all about Peaches tonight when we go to the Bronze." Spike told Daniel.

"You guys are Bronzing tonight?" Buffy asked.

"Yea, guys night out and such." Spike replied to her curtly, the only thing he had said to her all night.

"Do you think it's wise?" Giles asked. He stared hard into the haunted eyes of the male Slayer.

"Yea, we're going to set up our turf, let any vamps in the neighborhood know that their's a second Slayer. If there's any vamps there, we could set an example." Daniel said, pulling his pack of Newports out of his black peacoat.

"Alright, Daniel, you can sleep on the couch until you get a place set up." Buffy offered.

"No, it 's alright Buffy. I'll get a apartment tomorrow and tonight, I'll be out all night long."" She looked at him, nodded and excused herself to go to the kitchen to grab something to drink. Spike eyed her, eyes full of sadness and remorse.

"Be safe." Giles said. He glared at the souled vampire.

"Giles, I'm from Philly. It doesn't get any worse than that in Cali." He replied.

"Hey, I'll go with you guys." Xander said, inviting himself.

Spike nodded. "You're driving whelp." Daniel had to laugh, but this time instead of a harsh reply, Xander smiled.

As Spike closed the door, Buffy gave him a sad, tortured look.

The Bronze

Midnight

The three of them walked in, chatting as if they were old friends of some sort. Xander coughed from second hand smoke, as Daniel and Spike smoked away on their cigarette of preference. They sat at a round table and all of them ordered beers to start. Xander ordered a Bud Light, Spike ordered a Natural Ice, and Daniel ordered a Miller High Life. It was a Friday night in Sunnydale, and there was no point in staying in the house bored. Daniel and Spike stamped out the rest of the cigarettes and left them in the ashtray and then Xander spoke.

"Spike, listen for a sec. There's an apocalypse like we've never faced coming up, and Daniel made me realize some stuff tonight. You've given us a lot and we never appreciated what you've done for us. You betrayed your own kind for a woman you loved and even when she died and was gone you stayed here and protected all of us. I wanted to thank you for that. What you did last year was fucked up, but we all make mistakes, if I can forgive Willow for nearly destroying the world, I can forgive you."

The waitress handed them their beers and Spike nodded in reply to Xander's statement. They drunk from their beers and Spike said, "Thanks, it means a lot for you to forgive me."

"Your welcome. We all have a lot to atone for. I killed somebody and nearly killed Buffy when that music demon came last year and everybody forgot about it, so it's only fair." Xander said.

A pretty light skinned brunette walked up to their table. "Would you like to dance?" She asked Xander who nodded his reply and took a swig of his Bud Light.

"I'm Xander, what's your name?" He asked, as she lead him to the dance floor.

"Melissa." She replied and the two of them danced

Spike and Daniel laughed for a bit. "Daniel, I wanted to thank you for sticking up for me earlier when no one else did. You didn't even know me and yet despite the fact that I'm a vampire, you treated me like a man." Spike said, emotions troubling him.

"It's all good. The bonus was I got to piss off my Watcher on the first day." He said, lighting up another Newport and blowing smoke up into the air.

"You're a classic, Slayer."

"It's true what I said, some people deserve second chances. Not saying that I'm gonna go out there and start preaching to a fuckload of vampires about redemption, but you going out there to get your soul for a Slayer. That's inspiring, I guess." Spike said.

They ordered another beer for themselves as well as some chicken wings and some blooming onion thing Spike wanted. Xander returned from his dance and had a smile on his face "I got her number. Whose the man?"

"Shut up Whelp." Spike and Daniel said simultaneously.

"What does Whelp mean?" Daniel asked, laughing, causing plumes of smoke to come out.

"It means…"

"God you're annoying deadboy with a soul."

They continued drinking until the Bronze closed, and by then they were very drunk. Spike and Xander stumbled out of the bar, followed by Daniel, who was suddenly pulled back by someone. He spun around and met a tanned woman who was enticingly beautiful. She had long black hair and light green eyes. She looked Puerto Rican or at least of some Hispanic descent.

"What's good shorty?" He slurred.

"I was just trying to holla at you boo." She said, and kissed his neck, trailing his neck up to his ear with her tongue. She was gorgeous, she had nice tits, with a skinny waist and wide hips leading to a definitely Hispanic ass.

"Damn ma, if I would of seen you earlier I woulda done the same." He replied, and moaned as she sucked his ear, rubbing her breasts against his chest, pelvis flush against pelvis. He was turned on by her, hard as a rock.

"Let's go then papi." She whispered in his ear.

"What's your name sexy." He said, leading her to the back of an alley.. She unbuckled his pants and got on her knees.

"Marlene." She replied and took his sex into her mouth.

"Jesus!" He groaned, as she bobbed back and forth on his dick.

Spike and Xander walked out into the alley and seen him. "Oh God, that's a lot of trauma." Xander said, pretending to puke.

"Leave him be. Let's go." Spike said.

She sucked him off for a couple of minutes, his mind consumed by lust. She pushed him up against the walk and took off her jeans and climbed on him, wrapping her legs around him, and sliding down onto his hard cock. She rode him in the alley hard for about half and hour until he couldn't anymore and grunted as he shot into her hard, spilling his seed into her.

She climbed off of him and sucked him off clean. "This is only going to hurt a little bit." She said, as he was busy pulling his pants up. Taking the momentary distraction, she slid into her game face and bit his throat savagely. Spike smelled Slayer blood in the air and got out of the car in a hurry.

"Get off me bitch." Daniel said, trying to pull her from his neck.

"I want to keep you forever." Marlene said.

"The fuck you will bitch. I'm the motherfucking Slayer." He pulled his Berretta 9mm out of his peacoat and fired two rounds into her stomach. She stumbled backwards a little.

"You're a Slayer. I thought Slayers were females."

"I guess I'm just special bitch." He said, firing two more shots into her chest.

"Fuck that hurt." Marlene complained.

He saw Spike and Xander running towards him. "Gotcha bitch." He raised the Berretta to fire again, but she kicked it out of his hand and landed a harsh punch to his face. He stumbled backwards into the brick wall and retaliated with a punch of his own, a bit sloppy though since he was drunk, yet powerful enough to send her flying backwards into a dumpster.

"Use this." Spike said, throwing a wooden stake at him. Daniel caught it and ran at the vampiress who just stood up. He leapted at her, stake in hand and stabbed her through the side of her head with it, followed by a vicious kick that kicked it in deeper through her skull, dusting her in front of him.

"You alright." Spike asked him.

"That shit taste worse than cigarette ash." He said, and laughed. "That puta used my face as an ashtray." He stumbled towards his companion.

"You sure you alright?"

"Nah, that bitch could suck and fuck bro." He passed out, drunkenly falling into Spike's arms.

"Slayers."
