Chapter Eight

Xander felt Faith tense up as he pressed his lips to hers, as soon as she relaxed he deepened the kiss before tearing his lips away to see Faith looking at him, bewilderment in her eyes.

"Xand…Why?" Faith said still slightly breathless from the kiss

"You were panicking and you just look so hot all flustered. I missed that." he replied with a shrug.

"So what happened to your eye? I saw you the night before the whole thing with Lydia and you still had two eyes." Faith thinking back to when she revealed her betrayal to the Scoobies.

"Well Faith that was about four years ago. I'm not the same 18 year old boy you know. Well first we had to beat the Mayor, which was easy. A bit of C4 and TNT and he's gone. Then there was a bunch of army guys that created an unstoppable demon/robot/human thing. After that there was a goddess, Buffy died during that fight. Later on we brought her back and had to deal with three nerds trying to kill the slayer. And most recently was The First Evil and some two bit priest. He was the one who did this." Xander said shrugging as if it was nothing. Faith looked at Xander with pity.

"I'm sorry Xand." Xander waved off her apology smiling.

"You aren't the one who did this Faith. You know what, Let's go find something to eat. Haven't eaten in ages." Xander grabbed Faith's hand and started to lead her towards the door to the cabin.

"Xand…are there any pirates in the world now?" Faith asked quietly. Xander stopped and let go of Faith's hand.

"I don't think so. Why?" Faith didn't answer, she just went over to Jack's desk and started to look through it until she came up with his journal. She opened it to the most recent entry and looked at the date. It said June 1663. Faith gasped as she dropped Jack's journal.
