A/N: Okay so it's been twelve day since I've updated(according to my document manager), and I apologise. Again I'm winging it so I'm still not exactly sure what I'm doing in this story. Not to mention this other fic I've started(& winging) and it being my first crossover fic (BtVS & GH), I'm struggling a little with that. I'm also studying for my ASVAB test and working on my own novel. But I'm back and hopefully I will have the next chapter by the end of next week. But for now, enjoy this chapter...

Disclaimer: Don't own 'em...If I did, I'll make sure Maura was to smile all the time with her one dimple, and Jane would just speak show off that husky voice...

Supreme Apprentice

Chapter 5

Jane blankly stares at Maura, who can't seem to hold her gaze. Jane didn't want to judge Maura. She just wanted to kill Charles Hoyt for tainting her girlfriend's mind.

That son of a bitch is poison, but guess what, I'm the antidote.

"Maura? Honey listen to me. We can get through this." Her voice's coming across gentle but firm. "Just think about this for a minute. Hoyt is using you to get to me." Maura tenses up. "Honey relax. Hoyt is just trying to use you without you even realizing it." Maura contineus to looks away from Jane. "Maura, look at me." She actually complies, staring into her eyes. "I'll do anything for you. I love you. You can't let him win."

Maura allows Jane's words to sink a little. "I love you." She leans in giving Jane a kiss of passion...

Maura-10 Months Earlier

"She dreams about me you know." Hoyt lazily grins at Maura. "It's me she thinks about at her most vulnerable."

"It's common for a lot of trauma victims. Fact is, Jane despises you." Maura's voice is calm, but inside she's fuming. She's not sure exactly why she's here...again. She knew she should be avoiding him at all costs. But she knew she could hold her own with him. If she could just figure out why she was here in the first place...

"I'm going to win you know." Maura cocks her head to the side at his words with confusion. "This game of 'who's going to get of Jane's mind, body and soul.' I'm going to win. And I say she's ripe for the picking."

Maura glares a little, her jaw clenching slightly before composing herself. "I'm not playing a game with you. I'm not playing a game with Jane. She's my best friend and I'll do anything to take care of her."

Grin. "Anything?"

Glare. "Anything."

Later That Night...

"Jane, you shouldn't have that with medication you're taking. You just had a liver transplant not too long ago. It can cause further damage-" Maura worried face looks at Jane with the MGD 64 bottle to her lips.

Jane simply rolls her eyes at Maura taking a delicious sip she's been waiting to take for two months. "Seems like the good doctor's forgotten." She chuckles. "I finished my meds yesterday. This beer is well deserved after the. Besides, I've got a surprise for you on the table." She points over to the coffee table and Maura spots a bottle of wine as well as a glass and a corkscrew. "I appreciate you holding out on the drinks until I got well enough to have one myself. You really didn't have to and I just want to say thanks."

Maura smiles and picks up the the bottle. "You really didn't have to Jane."

Jane walks up behind her with a grin. "Yeah I did. I raided the stash you keep here earlier."

Maura laughs and picks up the corckscrew to begin openning it, but Jane takes the bottle from her, putting her own bottle on the table and starts openning.

"I can open a wine bottle on my own thank you very much." Maura jokes and picks up her glass for Jane to pour.

Jane smiles, pour the dark red liquid in Maura's glass. "Yeah but I just tryin' to do something nice for you." Maura's eyebrows furrow. "I mean it. You've really been there for me for the past few of months and been a great friend for even longer. Especially with everything's that's been goin' on with Frankie, my parents, Tommy," Jane sets finally set down the bottle and looks deep into Maura's eyes. All seriousness. "I'm forever grateful."

Maura gives her single dimpled smile accompanied with a blush. "I'll do anything for you Jane, you know that."

Jane gives her own deep double dimple smile, grabs her beer bottle and casually wraps her arm Maura shoulders. "Alright enough with the best friends forever moment, lets pick out a movie and I'll order take out." They both share a slight chucke.

They both make their way to the couch and sit next to each other, comfortable close. Not picking up her phone to call delivery, or picking up the remote to find something to watch, they just sit in silence. Jane slouches back agains the arm of the couch, sipping her low calorie beer. Maura gently lays her head on Jane's shoulder, sipping her dark, red wine. They just continue to soak in the vibe between. Since Jane's shooting, things had been...tense. Eventhough they were always together, they were drifting apart. It felt amazing to just be together, and not worry about anything. Jane's subconciously runs her fingers through Maura's hair, further easing Maura into Jane, both of them closing their eyes relaxation. The moment was almost perfection to Maura and after seven minutes, she finally breaks the silence with a whisper.

"Do you dream about me, Jane?"

"Huh?"

A little louder. "Do you dream about me, Jane?" Maura could sense the sudden confusion on Jane's face. She sets this sits up and turns over to hover over Jane, bright eyes into dark one. Yup, she's confused. "Because I dream about you."

After a couple a moments, Jane finally answers, her voice huskier than usual. "All the time."

Without waiting another moment, Maura presses her lips down onto Jane's. Colliding their passion for one another. In that single moment, changing their friendship into something more. Now the moment was perfection...

A/N: Okay so I'm making the next chapter rated M...I'm warning ahead of time and it might get a little graphic. Not exactly sure what's going on though...
