Pairings- Buffy/Spike

Explanations

Buffy kicked the cage door and Spike's slumped body fell forward, straight into the bright patch of sunlight.

" Damn it Spike."

She kicked him out of the light and went to pick him up when Willow stopped her looking extremely uneasy.

" Buffy there's still not enough Human in him, if he wakes up he'll attack. He's not in-control at the moment."

Buffy wanted to cry as Willow handed her the black bonds and the gag to keep dangerous biting at bay. Buffy kissed Spike's slightly pink forehead and gently tied the gag around his head.

After she had finished she hoisted him over her shoulder and Willow made a rainstorm making it just dark enough for Spike not be hurt. Without a word exchanged they drove to the church.

Buffy kissed Spike's forehead again and clicked the chains shut now that they had reached the Church and Buffy could then ditch the bonds and gag she hated. She was suddenly hit with images of Angel in such a position. Animalistic and having no idea who she was. Suddenly a soft growl came from Spike it sounded pained. As they were alone she unbuttoned his shirt, it fell of his shoulders she looked at him in shock.

Where she had desperately kicked him out of the sunlight there was a massive bruise. She comforted herself a little with the fact that as a Vampire he healed quickly. Slowly the chains rattled as Spike slowly came round.

Slowly Spike opened his eyes, his icy blue locked with ivy green and he looked in confusion at the chains.

" Your a kinky one aren't you Slayer, me in chains helpless -OUCH"

He had intended to laugh but that didn't agree with his bruised rib.

" I've had it Slayer. Unchain me !"

Buffy walked up right close and although his eyes flashed and became animalistic Spike had returned sufficiently to control his body. Emotions exploded in her and she flung her arms around his neck.

" Your back. Your really back."

Spike rattled the chains loudly making Buffy pull back.

" What do you mean I'm back ?"

Buffy looked into his eyes and saw that now Spike had fully returned. The human was in control again. Buffy unchained him and led him to a seat.

" Spike, What's the last thing you remember ?"

Spike looked at her seriously.

"Look, I remember every bloody little thing oh right Slayer. We were together, I saved you from Dru and, and then-."

Spike cut off and a look of puzzlement came on his features.

Buffy lowered her voice to a whisper.

" You don't remember her doing it do you ?"

Spike's eyes flashed with annoyance.

" Remember her doing what exactly."

Buffy took his hands in hers and looked directly into his icy blue eyes.

" Spike, she took the human away from you. You were a pure Vampire."

Spike froze as he desperately tried to remember what he had seen or what he had felt.

" That's why I moved away Spike, If I got too close you tried to attack me. The Vampire was in control. It's why you woke in chains."

Spike nodded and felt a stab of worry course through him.

" What of Drusila ?"

Buffy lowered her head and talked quietly to the floor.

" I couldn't kill her, she got away."

Spike pulled Buffy's face up to his and kissed her gently.

" Don't worry Pet ."
