Sorry, I'm sort of an Angelus fan, but I will take your opinions into consideration. Thanks for the reviews, I'm guessing that there's more than two people reading this? Well, probably. Tell me what you think at the end of the chapter!

Chapter 9: Decisions

"What do you mean?" Angelus asked, completely baffled by the slayer's words.

"I just don't feel right burning Giles's house to the ground." Buffy told him.

"Well, why the bloody hell not?" Spike asked. "I doubt that he'll invite us in for tea."

"I don't mean to disagree with you, it's just-" Angelus was getting tired of playing nice.

"It's just what? You think it would be really cool if your former watcher could restore your soul and so that you can stake us?"

"No, I'd never stake you, you're my sire." Buffy was completely taken aback by the idea of stake her beloved Angel(us).

"Well then, what do you suppose we do?" A plan clicked in Buffy's head.

Giles heard a knock on the door and cautiously looked through the eyehole, he was shocked by what he saw. Buffy was standing there, looking at the ground in a rather depressed way. He quickly grabbed a cross and flung the door open.

He held it out at her. "Back, back I say, back!"

"Giles, what are you doing?" Buffy asked. He lowered the cross, seeing no reaction from her. He dropped the cross and caught her in a tight hug. Buffy was very uncomfortable with Giles's neck so close to her mouth, it was very temping… His words brought her back into reality.

"Buffy, I thought you were dead, what happened?"

"Angelus and I were captured by these two vampires. They used some drug to knock us out and brought us here. I managed to escape."

"And, Angelus?"

"He's still there. Oh, I hope he's not dead!" The thought of Angelus dead was truly heart breaking. There was a very strong sire childe relationship.

"I thought he was a vampire!" Giles hugged Buffy again and she had to hide her disgust.

"I told you it would be fine for me to be hanging out with him."

"I thought to that you were dead!" Giles seemed very relieved that his slayer was in fact, to him, not dead.

"Why would I be dead?"

"Well, Jenny and I thought that Angelus was a vampire and he'd turned you."

"Angelus, a vampire? Get real and then me as a vampire too, that would just be crazy." Buffy had taken the whole day to think about how crazy that actually was and wasn't sure if she liked her conclusions.

Giles embraced her in another hug, this time Jenny, who had come over, joining in. "I know, but I'm glad that you are ok. You are alright, right?"

"Yeah, I have to take care of a few things here, dust a few vamps and save Angelus. Why don't you guys go back to Cleveland and I'll be back in a few days or so."

"Is it really wise to deal with them on your own? They did kidnap you." Giles was relieved that his slayer was safe, but he wanted it to stay that way.

"I'm positive, they'd just go after you if you stay here, besides, I know a bit of the place now. You guys would just slow me down. I'll get Angelus, dust the vamps and make it back. No worries." She added at the end when she read Giles concerned expression.

"Maybe we should just stay here for a few days and if you need our help, then we'll be a lot closer…"

"No, you would just be a target and I don't want to have to go and save you too." Buffy told him. "No, it would just be better if you left and I went back after dust became dust."

"And how exactly do you plan on getting back?" Giles asked her, knowing that she had practically no money.

"I'll… Figure something out." She promised. "I've got to go." She said, realizing what time it was. She hadn't even realized that she'd been invited in and had sat with them for the past hour.

"Where? Where do you have to go, Buffy?" Jenny asked her.

Ignoring the question, the new vampire told them once again, "Just go back to Cleveland." She then exited and slammed the door behind her, racing across the town to where she was to meet Angelus. She did the right thing, right?
