Goodbye !

A/N To make up for my evilness a new chapter only 24 hours later! Plus I know this wasn't strictly how the episode played out but it just works better for me!

Cleveland

Sept 2007

Faith walked into the room and smirked seeing Buffy flinging clothes into a bag, "Going somewhere?"

The blonde gave her a feral grin, "Here's the thing I think of you as family. The others not so much. If you need help call me."

Faith chuckled unlike the others she knew that Buffy could not simply forgive and forget. Maybe, if there had been some actual apologies it might have helped. Faith had wondered how long it would take Buffy to up sticks.

Faith just wanted to make sure they were okay, "We okay?"

"Yep. I'm off to find my dad and brothers. Plus they have hooked up with someone who may just be able to keep up with me."

Faith chuckled hearing her leer in her sister-slayers tone, "Just how old is the boy-toy?"

"My age. I will have to see if I like him but from what Sammy thinks we'll get along well."

Faith was the only one who actually knew the deal with Buffy's family. It was actually ironic her so-called friends had no clue about Joyce not being her mother but rather her aunt.

Faith usually reluctant to do emotions gave her sister slayer a hug, "Stay alive and hunt the bastard down."

Buffy smirked, "Will you let me know the guys reactions to the letters?"

Faith was a little confused; Buffy was sure that Willow would be unable to find her, "How have you stopped Red?"

Buffy's smirk widened, "Despite what the others think. They know very little about the supernatural world. It is even wider than they think. My Dad gave me Amulets when I was kid to protect me. He upped amulets to Wards when I got called."

Willow and Xander came into Buffy's room as the potentials needed training. All they found was a note

Gone hunting. Don't find me, you

won't manage it. I have to do this

and before you whine. I haven't abandoned

My calling. I hope you have fun dealing with

Everything that my life was.

Luv Buffy xxx

Xander yelled, "Faith!"

She strolled in lazily, "What's with the yellin'. You ain't my master."

"Buffster is gone."

She shrugged, "What did you expect? You screw her over and expect her to stay around. She got tired of being shit upon and split."

Xander was being stubborn, "We're her friends."

Faith openly laughed, "You know shit. She is telling the truth she got a bead on the demon that killed her mom. By now she will have hooked up with her brothers to kill the bastard."

Willow seized upon the slip. "Joyce died from an aneurysm."

Faith shook her head, "No her mother was killed by a demon when she was only six months old."

Xander and Willow were reeling about the new revelations, "How would you know?"

Faith stood up brushing down her leather pants, "Obviously a lot more than you do genius. She saved all our lives in Sunnydale even after you all turned on her. Think about that. I know how I screwed up but B forgave me. Can you say the same?"

With that she left with her head held high, after all, she may not be whiter than white. The thing was she was the only one of them to know where Buffy was, she couldn't wait to let Buffy know about their reactions.

The vampires had managed to snatch the oldest Winchester and was currently enjoying bragging about that fact. John could barely see out of a closed eye. What he could see though made him smirk. That blonde hair and tiny figure meant only one thing - his daughter.

Spitting out blood, John Winchester shrugged, "I don't care because your about to die."

Luther turned to his mate and laughed, "Do you hear that Baby? What makes you think you can kill me? Your tied up!"

Buffy smiled and in a oh so sweet voice announced, "Daddy! I've been looking for your everywhere. I find your with friends. You should've called I've been worried." She scolded him and enjoyed seeing the priceless reactions of the vampires from not picking up her approach.

He grinned through the pain, "Sorry Princess. This is Luther you should say hello."

She gave her best ditz smile, "Hello my name is Buffy. I'm the Vampire slayer who are you?" She cocked her head and waited for his reaction, it did not disappoint.

The scythe was summoned to her hand and was humming through the air as she sliced them into pieces. She went to untie her father and was grinning, "Like my new toy. I was hoping to use it on the demon."

John lent briefly on his daughter while he caught his bearings, "I'll hold him down while you do."

"You're the best Dad."

He laughed at that and had to wince from the pain it caused.

Sam, Dean and Jack were hanging outside waiting for the signal. All upset that Buffy had demanded that they wait outside. Sadly though, none could argue with Buffy's reasoning. When she'd threatened to knock them all out before she dealt with the vampires they caved. They listened to the exchange between father and daughter and Jack nearly chocked when he heard the question. If he was honest with himself the minute he saw her fight he was goner. To think that he owed it all to JD and Keith Urban.

A/n I know still evil as the meet between the pair hasn't occurred. Forgive me?
