AN: Short yeah I know! Thanks to all those that reviewed my previous chapters, and I know I got some comments about Angelus' actions, but don't worry.... It's all part of the plot. Shout outs to ashes at midnight and Angel's Blue Eyes Girl. Go check out their fics! They are definite good reads! Oh and before I forget I recently read a story called NCIS: Bite Mark. It's a really good read and is a crossover between Angel and NCIS! It's unconventional, but it is a REALLY good read. The story is by Krynnalexia and you guys have to read her story! Check it out, I dare you!

Once again, this chapter is un-beta'd. So that means that I may have to start looking for a beta... any suggestions??? Short Author's note lol.... now on with the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own nothing at all! BTVS and AtS belongs to Joss Whedon. But I do own my characters of Jamsal, Roberto, and Jesus.

After the Fight

Spike looked around at the newcomers and where Jamsal ran off to. He was still recovering from the unexpected powerful kick in the chin that Jamsal gave him. In all his time, he knew that the age factor of vampires did give advantage during fights, but Spike was an exception. He trained with Angelus, got beat up a lot by Darla, and beat two slayers. So Spike could hang in a fight with the best of them, but the way Jamsal trounced him was nearly comedic!

With that knowledge in his mind, Spike wanted a rematch. He turned his attention to the werewolf and the other ponce that had power rolling off of him in waves. Before he could speak, Spike noticed Buffy and Angel slightly holding each other. Either from falling from fatigue, because they were close, or because they were hurt, Spike didn't care. He could see the tension between them and smirked at the thought of their passion being unleashed.

Jesus glanced at the group behind them before he sniffed the air to make sure Jamsal was gone. He could tell that Jamsal was about to kick up the fighting up a notch against the group behind them, so they were lucky he showed up when he did. "You explain, or should I explain?" He asked Roberto.

Roberto was calming down when Jesus' words pierced his mind. He opened his eyes and looked at the group. Immediately he could tell that two of them were vampires, one was a witch, five of them were human, one was a half demon, and the other….well he couldn't tell at all. "Who are you people?" Roberto said after a moment of silence.

"Well who are you?" Giles asked after no one wanted to say anything, especially after Cordelia elbowed him lightly.

"My name is Roberto and the wolf is Jesus. Now since I answered your question, how about you answer mine?"

"Wow, rude much?" Cordy muttered to Xander, who snickered a bit.

"My name is Giles. And this is Willow, Wesley, Xander, Cordy, Doyle…" Roberto cut Giles off as he reached the vampires. "I know who this is," he said looking at Spike and Angel. "Spike aka William the Bloody and that's all I am going to say about him," Roberto then looked at Angel dead in the eye. He could immediately see the soul reflected in Angel's eyes, but he could also see the dark glint of Angelus still inside. "Angelus, the Scourge of Europe. Funny that you never ran into me back then."

Angel just smirked and shrugged, coming off nonchalant. "What can I say? You didn't peak my interest."

Roberto smirked at him and signaled over Jesus. Jesus looked at the group, before turning to look at the night sky. "He's gone, took off after you showed up and his 'moment.'"

Roberto nodded and was about to speak till Spike spoke up. "Speaking of that ponce, how in the mighty 'ell did he beat the living crap, or err undead in mine and Angel's case, out of us?"

"Hey, I didn't do that bad. At least I didn't get knocked out, unlike you," Buffy defended herself after hearing Spike's question.

"Maybe, but both you and the great poof here got ye're arses handed to ya at the same time," Spike shot back at Buffy. Angel growled slightly, and stood tall next to Buffy, ready to defend her. Spike just put his hands up in a surrender move and took a step back.

Roberto chuckled slightly and looked to Jesus. Jesus crossed his arms over his chest and cleared his throat loudly. Once he had the attention of everyone, Jesus uncrossed his arms and put his hands on his waist. "The reason why Jamsal beat you guys fast was because you weren't ready to face him. Sure Buffy and Angel are strongly either naturally or through age. His advantage is that he's trained in different fighting styles. Fighting styles that you guys had never seen before."

Giles was intrigued at this. "What kind of fighting styles does he know?"

"He knows a style called Capoeira. I hardly know some of this style, but I do know that this style involves a type of dance called Break dancing. It's one of the most innovative types of dancing, but that's not where his true fighting style lies, it lies in a mixed style of fighting." Roberto paused and walked a little ways ahead of the group. Jesus followed and got into a fighting position.

"It's a mix of Taekwondo, American Kickboxing, and Capoeira," Jesus said just as Roberto launched into the air with a Hook Kick. Buffy, Angel, and their friends were wowed at the way Jesus danced away from kick. Jesus then retaliated by jumping into a handstand and started spinning on his palms. He strengthens his legs and shot them out as Roberto managed to avoid the deadly kicks. Jesus stopped spinning and jumped back onto his feet and both friends got into respective fighting styles.

In a manner of minutes, the Scooby Gang and the AI team were treated to the style of fighting that they have never seen before. Angel and Buffy were intrigued with the style of Taekwondo. Mainly since they knew most of what Karate has to offer, this new style was interesting to them. Spike was studying the way Roberto was using Kickboxing, and wanted to jump into the fight.

But just as quickly as the fight started, it ended smoothly as both Roberto and Jesus bowed to each other in respect. Roberto turned to the group, while Jesus walked off into the night to an apartment that Roberto and Jesus barely rented out, and looked at the main three in the eye. "To beat or even get close to beat Jamsal, you'll have to learn how to fight like him. It's possible to beat him, but as long as you can fight like him. If you can't, then he'll just keep on beating you. That's his strength, that's why no other slayer has beaten him or staked him. He's studied fighting styles as old as him, so that's his strength." Angel, Buffy, and Spike all looked at each other as they absorbed all the news and their new challenge.

"Where did you learn all this style of fighting?" Giles suddenly asked Roberto.

Roberto smiled as he remembered and just said one word, "Mexico."

"So, when are we going to learn these styles?" Buffy asked, anxious to learn a new tactic. Mainly she wanted to speak to Angel alone and reassure herself that she can control the hormones and emotions running through her just by being around Angel.

"I'll let you guys know. See you around," with that, Roberto left the area and the cemetery.

Angel stayed silent like always, but the unusual thing was that Angelus was quiet also. But Angel knew that was just going to be like that for a few seconds. So that's how he beat me all those years ago. That bitch, you better train good soul-boy!

Angel just tuned him out and walked towards the exit of the cemetery. Wesley and Doyle looked at each other and followed the dark vampire. Cordy exhaled loudly and followed also. The Scooby Gang looked at each other, shrugged, and followed the AI team out of the cemetery.

None of them saw Riley dropping down from a tree with a listening device in his hand. He had to report this to Walsh to find out the true potential of Jamsal. Plus he didn't like the way Angelus and Buffy were cozy with each other. He knew Walsh would love to study the dark vampire, so he controlled his emotions and took off in a different direction to where his team was waiting for him.

Buffy and Angel slowed down their walk and let the others walk by them. None of them noticed the slayer and vampire behind them walking together. "Hey can we meet up later, I just want to you know, talk, see how you are, how's LA," Buffy kept babbling on till Angel gave her the half-smile that always made Buffy's knees melt.

"Buffy, you're babbling," he said amused.

"Oh yeah, well, yeah," she responded awkwardly.

"Where do you want to meet up at?" Angel asked after the awkwardness was about to take over.

"My Dorm? Willow said that she was going to spend the night studying or something like that," Buffy said.

Angel stopped and grabbed Buffy's hand gently. They both gasped at the contact and fought the passion that wanted to erupt. "I'm going to be staying at the mansion for as long as possible until we beat Jamsal. If you need help with anything, just let me know."

Buffy looked down to hide her smile of happiness at hearing that Angel was going to be around for a while. Angel, thinking that she was sad, tilted her chin up to look into her hazel/green eyes. "Hey what's wrong?" Angel asked softly.

Buffy just kept her smile on, which caused Angel to erupt into a full blown angelic smile. Buffy gasped at seeing the sparkle in his deep brown eyes and she knew that this man shouldn't be allowed to smile like that. He was too handsome and she was just barely holding her control. "I'll remember that, meet me later?" Angel nodded and out of habit, he leaned down and gently kissed Buffy's lips. As soon as their lips made contact, they both deepened their kiss. With no contact with each other for some time now, their control only held so much. Angel's hands were starting to wander till Doyle cleared his throat. Buffy and Angel sprang apart and looked at Doyle sheepishly.

"See you later then?" Buffy asked slightly breathless.

"Yeah, I'll see you," Angel responded. He stood quietly and admired the way Buffy was walking away and catching up to her friends. Angelus was hollering at seeing Buffy's backside in her tight jeans, but Angel just ignored him.

"That was pleasant," Doyle quipped out. Angel just smiled and walked towards the mansion. Along the way, Doyle was thinking about telling Angel of his vision a few days ago. The vision was mainly just a message from the powers. After deciphering it and thinking about it, with the help of whiskey, Doyle determined that is was the Powers telling him that Angel's soul was bound. But before he could tell Angel, Doyle needed to talk to the Powers directly.

Doyle shoved his hands in his pockets and fished out a piece of paper that held the number of an empathy demon by the name of Lorne. He was told that Lorne was able to communicate with the Powers directly, so Doyle had to talk to him somehow. After a few minutes of walking, the AI team saw the Mansion close by. "The place should be cleaned and ready to stay in," Angel informed the others.

"Okay, may I ask why?" Wesley said in confusion.

Angel just shrugged, "Summer home I guess?"

"You guess? Whatever, I just need to take a shower!" Cordy said out loud. They walked down the steps to the back garden and were upon the now fixed double glass doors. Angel searched his pockets for his keys and found them, unlocked the doors, and let his team in. Cordelia just ran in and ran up the stairs to the second floor.

"I CALL THIS ONE!!" She screamed down the stairs. The guys just looked at each other and shrugged.

"I'll be back later boyos," Doyle announced.

Wesley and Angel turned to Doyle with questions, which Doyle answered quickly. "I have ta find me a bar in this town ta get some whiskey."

Wesley shook his head and went up the stairs to find himself a room. Angel rolled his eyes and went into his bedroom that still contained the red sheets that he was dying in. He still remembered that day vividly, but he beat it out of his mind. He laid down on the bed and waited for an hour to go see Buffy.

Riley was incensed! After meeting up with his team, they left the cemetery, a ways behind the others, but still within binocular vision. He was fixing his weapon when Forest and Graham gasped out loud. Riley quirked up an eyebrow and tried to see what they saw, but both blocked his vision.

"What do you see?" He asked the two.

"Nothing," they replied in unison. Riley frowned and tried to look around them, but the twosome blocked his vision once again. Riley was getting irate now. "Move, that's an order!" He snapped.

Forest and Graham just shrugged and walked out of the line of sight and went back to the rest of the team. Riley then looked through his binoculars and saw Buffy and Angelus locked in a passionate embrace. He's kissed Buffy before and remembered how passionate she was. But this was new! This was Buffy passionate in a way that he's never seen before!

His logical mind screamed at him to march up to the two and beat the vampire down, but he had a feeling that Buffy would say something about that. His mind then jumped to the conclusion that in order to get that close to Buffy, the slayer, Angelus must have her in a thrall! It was up to him to break her free from his hold and take the dark vampire into the Lab!
