WhiteTwitch- Hehehe, you'll find out in this chapter. I promise.

Yuzznut– Thanks for reviewing, I'm glad to get any feedback from my readers….unless it's just pointless flaming.

Elena- You asked and I delivered, enjoy the newest installment.

Revavie- Wow! Thanks for the wonderful review. I am glad to hear that this is unusual compared to the other Supernatural/Buffy crossovers out there. Thanks for the compliment on my writing as well. It's nice to hear.

Er- here's the update to make your day, and I did have a great holiday with my family. Thanks for asking.

Will-Lehane- Thanks for the review. Keep reading.

Becomingwhaturmeanttobe- Thanks.

Goddessa39- Am I that transparent? LOL! And yeah I do love that pairing, much more than Spuffy or if she were paired with Riley (shudders at that thought). And if you haven't seen Supernatural, where have you been girl. It's on Thursday nights at 9 on the CW.

Silent Me- Thanks for reviewing.

Spuffyshipper- Thanks, and as for the Harmony thing? Yes, she was sired by Spike during the whole graduation battle at the end of season 3. And the part where Sam was born in '84? Well that was a typo on my part, I meant to put '83, cause I'm trying to follow canon timelines. Which means that Dean was born in '79, Buffy in '81, and Sam in '83.

CHAPTER 5

As Buffy and her brothers walked out of the Bronze, her sixth sense picked up even more. She looked all around the area, but upon seeing no one, she grew irritated. She crossed her arms and huffed before yelling out, "Angel, get your ass over here now. I so don't have time for this."

A few moments later, a tall, dark haired man wearing a pair of black slack, a black dress shirt and a black trench coat walked out of the alleyway into the light of the streetlight with a grin on his face. "Hello beloved," he said as he stopped a few feet short of Buffy.

Buffy raised an eyebrow as his endearment for her. He hadn't called her that in a long time, something was up. "Angel, what are you doing here? You're not in trouble and need my help are you," she asked worriedly.

Angel chuckled and shook his head. "No, I'm not in trouble. I came to see you because I have some news for everyone," he admitted, looking Buffy straight in the eye.

As Buffy looked into her ex-boyfriend's eyes, she noticed something she had never seen in them before: happiness, genuine happiness. But how could Angel be happy, unless… "Goddess," she whispered as she realized there was something else in Angel's eyes as well, not the madness she had always seen in his eyes when he was Angelus, but calm, and there was no internal fighting. "You're soul's permanent?"

He just nodded in confirmation. "You can call Wesley and Cordelia if you want to be sure," he told her calmly, knowing that she'd want confirmation from some old friends, and not just trust his word. He knew that she knew when it came to Angelus it was better to be safe than sorry.

Buffy looked as if she wanted to believe him whole-heartedly, but with her past experience in fighting Angelus, she knew she had to be sure. She was about to reach into her purse and grab her cell phone when the sound of someone clearing their throat made her pause and look behind her.

"Oh Goddess, I can't believe I forgot," she turned back to Angel, "Angel, these are my brothers; Dean Winchester, who's older than me by two years, and Sam, who's two years younger. Guys, this is Angel, one of my best friends and my ex-boyfriend. Now, if you three will excuse me, I have a phone call to make. I'll be right back," she said as she walked a few feet away for some privacy.

The next few moments were a little tense for both the brothers and Angel. Neither had any clue as to what to say to one another, so the silence was a little awkward.

"So," Dean began, trying to act nonchalant. After all, with the research their dad, Pastor Jim and Bobby had them do over the summers, he had read a lot about Angelus, and just being in the guy's souled presence was enough to make him nervous. "You dated my little sister?"

Angel nodded, "I did." He was able to detect the slight hint of nervousness coming from both of Buffy's so-called brothers, but as he caught their scent, he knew it to be the truth. He wondered what the whole story was, but could wait for Buffy to tell him later. "But that was…" Angel wasn't able to finish his sentence before the 100 lbs blonde came at him and jumped onto his back squealing in delight.

"I can see it's real, but I can't believe it!" she exclaimed happily, as she dropped from Angel's back. "Are you back? For good?"

Angel sighed as he wrapped an arm around Buffy's waist, "That's what I wanted to talk to you and the gang about. Are they still at the Magic Box?"

Buffy nodded. "Yeah, do you wanna walk over or do you have your car?" she questioned as she made herself comfortable in his arms.

Dean and Sam watched, in shock, as their sister was being more than friendly with a vampire. Neither of them had ever considered the fact that vampires were real until they had heard of the Slayer and met up with their sister. This was going to take some getting used to. Not only that, but ninety-nine point nine percent of the vampires are supposed to be vicious creatures and soulless. Yet from what Buffy said, Angelus, or Angel as she called him, had been cursed with his soul, and now instead of cursed, it had been bound to his body by the powers-that-be.

As they stood on the sidewalk, Dean shook his head. His little sister, he still could hardly wrap his mind around that. Well she wasn't so little anymore and she was a chosen warrior for the light side. Sam on the other hand watched in amazement and with a little bit of hope. Maybe just maybe his family would be able to finally settle down and hunt for whatever had killed mom. Maybe, even though they were hunting they would be able to lead a semi-normal like his big sister was doing. As he watched his big sister and her soulmate… and what an oxymoron that was considering vampires are not supposed to have souls, he could tell that while souled, Angel wouldn't let anything happen to Buffy if he could prevent it, and that he also understood her; unlike that army brat, Riley.

"Let's take the car, it'll be faster," Angel replied as he turned to Dean and Sam and told them to, "come on if you want a lift."

As they followed Angel and Buffy to Angel's car, none of them were aware of what was occurring at the Magic Shop. Inside the Magic Shop, John Winchester was trying to come to terms with what was being told to him by his daughter's friends and mentor. His daughter, he'd only really known her for a day and she was this ball of energy all wound up into this classic 'California' or 'girl-next-door' look that was more deadly to the creatures of the night than he and his boys. Suddenly a light bulb went off in his mind and a smile formed on his face.

The Demon's going to rue the day he messed with my family, the thought flittered through John's mind. "John," the sound of his name caused him to look up and over at his daughter's watcher.

"Sorry, I have a lot of things on my mind right now," John admitted sheepishly as he looked at his daughter's best friends. "I guess I still haven't been able to shake the possibility that this is all a dream. Ever since my wife was murdered by a demon my boys and I have been hunting anything supernatural…"

"What?!" Giles asked curiously. Upon hearing that John's wife, Buffy's real mother, was murdered by a demon and that her father and brothers were demon hunters, it explained why Buffy spoke freely about their actual work in front of them. "Mr. Winchester…" "John." "John, then, do you think you could tell me how your wife was killed, I maybe able to help you figure out which demon you're looking for."

John's eyes lit up with hope for the first time in years. "Mr. Giles…" "Rupert, I insist." "All right, Rupert, since my wife was murdered, I thought that my boys were the only pieces of her I had left, and now to find our daughter, alive; and the Slayer, well it's given me more hope then you could imagine," he admitted to the Scoobies. He would've said more but the sound of someone walking into the store stopped them.

The group whirled around and watched as Dean, Sam, Buffy and Angel walked into the store. Willow grinned when she saw Angel, but Xander and Giles looked wary. John looked at the newcomer who had his arm wrapped around his daughter's waist and decided he'd reserve judgment until after he had time to talk with the guy. Anya looked from Angel to Buffy and grinned, hopefully her Xander would get over his stupid possessiveness over Buffy. Tara, who was a little more adept at magic than Willow, could tell that Buffy and Angel's auras meshed together perfectly, much more than Buffy and Riley's ever did.

"Hey guys," Buffy said feeling slightly uncomfortable. Something told her that she had been the main focus of the conversation between the Scoobies and her father. "Look who showed up with his soul bound and the curse gone?"
