Bounties and Bullets

by alwynjaegar

Set after season 3, Angel was poisoned sucessfully by Faith but she fell through a portal into a hell dimension before Buffy could secure the win. Buffy then also fell into the same portal 2 days later and is shocked to find the dark slayed over a year older and vastly stronger and calmer then she used to be. Which leads to hunting demon bounties and Buffy discovering herself.

12. Chapter 12: Sunnyhell USA

Chapter 12: Sunnyhell USA

When Buffy had first met Anya she was shocked at how blunt and straight forwardly speaking she was, after 2 years in Al-kufir she had come to expect that kind of behavior a hell of alot more and it was almost soothing to hear her speak so matter of factly as she made herself known and what her duties were here at 'Rubys magic box. She had managed to really bs a great help to Ruby so quickly as she seemed to have a deeply rooted natural talent for Buisness and mathematics that alot of people just didn't posess to the degree she had managed to cultivate such a skill set.

Faith had already changed into Dark blue jeans and a black vest but decided to also put on a tight red and black chequered shirt and roll up fhe sleeves to her elbows and proudly display her shining dark red cross and resplendent ruby hued ring Buffy had made for her by the hand of the local blacksmith. Buffy had settled for a pair of tight black jeans with a stylish belt and a silky blue shirt which went suprisingly well with her outfit, she also displayed her emerald cross and ring as Faith had but the ribbon she usually out on Faith was now complimented by Buffys own dark emerald green ribbon which Faith had placed in her hair herself this morning, one that was also charmed like hers, just in case they ever somehow found themselves seperated.

"Those black combat boots suit you darling, we should get you some different colored laces too, i like punk rocker Faith a whole damn lot" Buffy eyed her girl up and down whilst biting her lip and whispering her words rather seductively as Dawn was already changed and asking Ruby and Anya if they needed help with anything but were told it was a sunday and she probably had to rush home to ease a worried mother.

"Well i quite enjoy a tight assed and Buttoned up Buffy, i like it even more whennsaid Buffy dominates me and fucks me against a wall like the rebellious women i truly am" Faith growled her words into Buffys ear and it sent shivers down her spine as she was now very annoyed she hadn't woken up an hour or two earlier and fucked her lovers brains out, but no she had to get her beauty sleep for some reason.

Faith found a cool looking belt that fit her outfit and grabbed her dark brown leather rucksack that had everything they needed to travel within and some spare clothes just in case fhey needed them. the coolest thing they had learnt within the last week from Ruby was to summon their weapons at will from their home dimension instantly and it barely took any energy from them to do so.

Dawn came over and asked fhem if they were ready to go as they put all their important new cards and documents in the right places and were suprised how Ruby really understood their seperate tastes in wallets also. of course they probanly looked way more desirsble after being stuffed with a few thousand dollars, butnFaitu was more determined tomonly use the money when they needed too and Buffy was also thinking of how long they could save their cash until their next payday as they now got paid every month and they had to get used to using dollars again.

The three girls were ready to go and Ruby told them she woukd see them tonight if everything went bad or tommorow if it all went well for their first meeting before going back on patrol for the first time in a damn long time for them. Faith looked over to the clock and realised it was just a little over half 9 and if they walked briskly they would arrive at Buffy and Dawns house a little before 10 in the morning, they just hoped Joyce was at home and wasn't panicking since Dawn wouldn't have been home at all last night through her perceived idea of events.

"Ruby Stay safe and don't work yourself too hard" Faith held the door open for both Dawn and Buffy and said goodbye to Anya as well who was still extremly bubbly and seemed to be very excited for her new job and it made Ruby smile proudly upon realising she had definetly chosen the best person for the job. "Anya, we're opening up soon so flip the sign and work your magic, we need sales, sales and more sales" Ruby went round inspecting the shop as Anya turned the sign and soon they knew in a town like Sunhydale, customers would come pouring in.

Faith and Buffy however were constantly having to readjust their eyes as the sun outside was a hell of alot brighter than they remembered it being, years in Al-Kufir had certainly changed the ways their eyes worked and after a few minutes it started to get better but Dawn was the quickest to readjust as she was back to normal in moments. the early morning sun wasn't harsh, just bright and everywhere all at once. there was even a sweet scented summer breeze flowing by and both Slayers enjoyed the soft smell of freshly mown grass and they had even missed the smell of petrol, something they'd never realised was something you could miss.

Dawn was skipping along and all happy as Faith had given dawn the money to stop into the espresso pump and buy her and Buffy some girly coffee and her a triple shot of espresso because hed eyes were still adjusting as her girls were almost back to normal. anyone looking in would think she was hungover and her eyes were burning much like they were.

"So two girly drinks and a big manly espresso for the big angry papa bear, man this adjusting ya eyes things sucks eh!" Dawn handed the drinks over and began sipping her own as Faith really seemed to believe the over saturation of caffeine was helping bring some life back to her eyes. Buffy was almost back to seeing perfectly and started to tenderly caress Faiths bicep as she was obviously having a hard time after 3 years in an alternate dimension.

"You ok honey, my eyes are killing me too, it's getting better tho!" Buffy cheerily grinned and it helped Faith asnshe opened and closed hsr eyes alot more and let more natural light inside, minutes later she could see normally again but the slight burning was still there behind her eyes as they had walked through downtown and started walking towards the residential area and onto Rovello Drive. half an hour later they were stading at Buffys door, the place she had the same amount of time as she had in Al-Kufir at this point.

"You nervous B, i can come back later if it's easier..." Faith whispered and that was when Dawn grabbed her left arm and Buffy her right.

"You're ours dumbass, ya ain't running away that easily..." Buffy smiled as she saw the look of dread manifest behind Faiths dark brown eyes when she rang the doorbell and realised they were really doing this. The door had opened far quicker than she had hoped as Joyce stood their in what seemed like her usual work clothes from the art studio she worked at and sprang through the threshold of fhe door to hug her oldest daughter tighter then she had ever held her before. Dawn couldn't help but grin as her mother moved to hug her also and she felt the air rush out of her lungs as she had never known how strong a worried mother could be.

Faith was absoloutly still and had almost no reaction as she tried to play everything off all cool and collected But Joyce just pulled her in for a hug as well and welcomed her home with open arms. the Dark slayer was confused and Dawn didn't help as she said "See mum, told ya Buffy and Faith would be back if ya gave em long enough".

Joyce pushed them all inside the house and closed the door and the girls could see she obviously wanted to scream at them for being away so long and living in another dimension where time reacted differently but she just didn't care anymore.

"Girls... don't you ever dissapear to another dimension ever again, Willow and Mr Giles told me what happened and i am rightfully furious!... But it doesn't matter does it, you're home and i don't have to be worried senseless anymore" Joyce then did something unexpected and slapped Faith around the cheek and although it didn't physically hurt, it sure did sting something fierce.

"Don't you ever make my little girl chase after you like that again! you belong here with us. say it!" Joyce was loud and strongly worded that Faith had just instantly responded without thinking "I belong here..." her voice was mousey and almost non existant and Buffy had even moved to step inbetween her mother and Faith but the latter put her hand out and stopped the blond beauty in her tracks.

Joyce brought her in and kissed her on the forehead before looking her in the eyes with a sharp look that none of the girls had ever seen before.

"I'm assuming you and my daughter will be sleeping in the same bed... am i wrong?" Joyce asked and Buffys face turned red quicker than an exploding boiler.

"Yeah, we've been together for two years now, in the other dimension so, yeah we share a bed" Faith responded with a honest voice as Joyce let the taller brunette go and she backed off a little bit and couldn't help but stifle a giggle when she saw how mortified Buffy was at her mother asking such a simple question.

"I was there a month and they were on eachother like rabbits mom, i had to pry them apart most of the time!" Dawn had decided to stir the pot and Buffy now felt like she wanted to just die as her mother was now aware of how close her and Faith actually were now and she had hoped even though she knew her mother was aware of her new sapphic designation that she could keep atleast a little bit of her great love private.

"Oh my... well Buffy was always very passionate, we'll just have to purchase a Slayer proof crowbar i guess... if only you had told me you were gay and not a slayer, i could of dealt with gay so much easier" Joyce joked as she began moving the girls into the kitchen and told Dawn to put some coffee on and for Buffy to stay away from the open flame as she was going to cook them a late breakfast.

"Why does everyone keep me away from open flames, i can cook a little... i'm not some kind of firebug you know..." Buffy didn't even sound sure of herself as she said it and the look from both Faith and her mother really didn't help but confirm she really shouldn't even be allowed in a kitchen.

"See the way Faiths looking at you Buffy, i assume she did all the cooking over there, i ad to replace the toaster again because of your late night escapades" Joyce showed her the new toaster and that was the moment Buffy realised there were possibly still pop tarts in the cupboard and she grinned realising she hadn't had one in two years and it wss about to be an almost heavenly experience when she finally got to stuff one in her mouth again.

"Joyce, grab the pop tarts... she loves the carboard bricks, i have no idea why?" Faith obviously knew the girl way too well as Joyce quickly found the pop tarts and chucked them towards her daughter who had never moved so quickly before in her life as she tore the packets open like a wild animal and chucked them into the brand new toaster with such verocity Joyce had to tell her off.

"What the hells wrong with you, this is why everything in the house always breaks so quickly... how many things did she break whilst you both lived together Faith? probably most things i'd imagine". Faith had a cocky grin prepared as she told Joyce she was actually 'very well behaved' and she only broke a few things here and there when they were home.

"If you want we can just go there one day and you can see where we lived, it's a nice place" Faith told Joyce as Dawn said it was 'cozy' and that Faith really knew how to cook. Joyce was in the middle of cooking what seemed to be a full english as she responded knowingly with "Ahhh so that's hpw you stole my daughters heart, she always was a bit of a glutton" Joyce snickered.

Buffy protested as she waited painfully long for the pop tarts to finish "Faith only cooked for me over there, she never cooked for me before that... alot of stuffs changed mum, we're both 20 now and i've been bounty hunting for a long time, i even have buisness interests over there!" Buffy told her with an air of pride in her voice that didn't seem misplaced in the slightest.

"Yeah Faith even runs a successful art school, sh'e's hired two other teachers as well" Dawn served the coffees and then passed them around before sitting down next to Faith and Leaning against her arm.

"Me and Buffy wanted to tell you we would be returning every friday and return monday, we still have a life over there you know... we'll be here during the week though" Faith told Joyce who was absoloutly shocked they had been up to so much and was a little confused as Faith explained everything thwt had happened to them over the last few years for her and Buffy.

Buffy herself was gorging herself on delicious pop tarts as Joyce listened dutifully to the abridged version of everything that had happened to them and why they had returned, she had not mentioned anything about Dawn but she was very clear on the fact a god was coming to Sunnydale and it needed to be dealt with when it arrived in town.

"You were alone for over a year... wow, no wonder you got so tall, shame Buffy stayed the same size... must be all those boxes of pop tarts she keeps inhaling" Joyce had plated up all the eggs, bacon, tkmatoes and sausages. she even added hash browns and brought out various sauces for the girls to try and wasn't suprised that after eating a whole box of pop tarts her daughter was still hungry.

"You poor thing, dating my daughter means you'll never keep any food in the house ever again. I assume this job you have with this Ruby is just a cover so you can Slay and get paid? i'll have to get you a key made so you can come and go easier" Joyce offered and even though Faith had told her they both had a room at the magic box where they wouldn't be disturbed it was something that Joyce just wouldn't accept.

"I won't have you living above some witches shop when Buffys room is upstairs and not being used, you need to be in a house during the week if you're going back every friday night that is" Joyce was definetly not budging and Faith didn't have the balls to try and make her, Buffy had remained silent as she ate because she wasn't sure when everything could turn into a shouting match if she said what she actually wanted too.

"Joyce, thank you. for understanding that is, i can't imagine this is easy for you" Faith spoke softly as Joyce interrupted her unexpectedly.

"It's not, i've missed two years of my daughters life because she fell through a portal and you were alone for a year and 2 months after killing that disgusting vampire who was preying upon my little girl... i should kiss you for killing that thing" Joyce spat with a certain amount of venom to her voice as she remembered Angel as the memories were much newer in her mind, where as Buffy had almost completly forgotten what he even looked like anymore. it was amazing how quickly life could change when you stopped lying to yourself about who you are and who you really like.

"Well the only Summers i'll be kissing is Buffy, nice offer Mrs S but... i like my blondes shorter and deadlier" Faith playfully joked as Buffy herself grabbed Faith by the hand and forced her to sit down as it seemed that Buffy really didn't like the joke one bit but she wasn't angry, she was just annoyed.

"I'M NOT THAT SHORT! i'm compact" Buffy groaned and yet Dawn couldn't help but stifle her giggle at how much more submissive her big sister was around their mother, especially after she spent a month learning just how deadly her sister really could be.

"Well anyway, you will be sleeping here from now on... unfortunatly for you ya great big tree of a woman it will be in the dwarfs bed" Joyce had to duck the empty pop tart box as she laughed heartilly with how riled up her daughter was becoming.

"Well we're gonna pop to Giles and the gangs whilst you and Dawn grab a bed extender so Faiths legs don't hang off the bed tonight" Buffy huffed and took Faiths hand in hers and began to walk out of the house with Joyce in tow.

"What time will you be back? so i now when to make dinner, its the school holidays and i have a free day today so..." Joyce was now standing by the open front door as Buffy and Faith turned back and gave her a look she couldn't quite place.

"About 2 or 3 i think, we wanna be home early so we can all spend more time together, it's been years for us ya know" Faith grinned with a full smile where as Buffy who was hanging onto Faith was alot more annoyed because of all the short jokes.

"Might take awhile to get back since my legs are so short..." Buffy said with a sourpuss that made Joyce roll her eyes.

"Well honey, lets get this over with before we change our minds, see ya for dinner Joyce" Faith brought Buffy in for a long kiss on the pathway and Joyce just said 'bye' and closed the door quickly to give them their privacy. Buffy had completly forgot her anger as her eyes glazed over and she detached from their kiss a whole lot calmer than before hand.

"Yeah, we should really get going... where were we going?" Buffy said in a cute, ditzy tone of voice as she was completly under Faiths power. The dark Slayer just took her hand and reminded her they were going to see the gang and she loved her deeply.

"Yeah we can go see Giles, let's hope he doesn't slap you too" Buffy said in an annoyed tone as she began walking down Rovello drive with her beloved muse and the said 'muse' was defending Joyce as she made it clear she had every right to do what she did. even though Buffy made it clear she didn't agree, she let it go until a possible later date if it ever came up again. But as the mkd day drew on she couldn't help but bask in the sun besides the women she loved and adored so fully, Buffy knew they had another apocalypse to avert but it didn't seem to matter right now, not as the sun shone so warm and brilliantly upon her lightly tanned skin.

The knock on Giles's front door was almost defeaning as Buffy momentarily forgot her strength and sure she almost heard the door frame crack and hoped no inside had heard that crack and started grabbing the crossbows. of course she was wrong and both Giles and Xander had opened the door with crossbows fully cocked and aimed right at them both with deadly precision until Xander dropped the weapon and chucked it to the side nonchalantly.

"Hey it's the Buffmeister, when'dya get home boss... wait did you both get taller?" Xander was all nervous and obviously wanted to be all quippy but it was probably way too awkward if Willow had told them everything that had happened between them. Giles however had quite a charming smile as he also lowered his crossbow and welcomed them both inside,

"Welcome home girls, come in" Giles moved aside and welcomed them them both inside and saw both a nervous Willow and an awkward Oz spring to attention as the girls heard the front dooor close behind them.

"Hey nice ribbons, is that a new fashion or a couple thing... i couldn't pull that off, hairs too short you see" Xander quipped and then noticed the matching rings in their different colors and decided it was better not to comment about it all if he wanted to leave the house with his manhood intact, the look Faith had quickly shot him made him realise his mistake.

"I'll just... anyway want some tea, biscuits... maybe a gun to shoot me with?" Xander nervously chuckled and Buffy put a hand on his bicep and squeezed it softly.

"It's ok Xander, me and Faith have been together for 2 years now, you don't need to tip toe around it. it's just who we are, we're in love and it's our personal buisness ok" Buffy moved over to Willow after decoupling her hand from her lover and used the same hand to hold it out to Willow.

"I'm sorry for being so rough with you, I just... she's everything to me Will. i hope you understand that". Buffy had decided honesty and a stern face would be better than just screaming at her and it seemed to work as Willow just threw herself into the small blonde and held her as tightly as she could.

"I thought you'd never come home, you were so angry with me... I just wanted to save you" Willow sobbed horribly as she held her tight and tried to soothe her best friends sobs.

Faith came over as she put a hand on Willows back and began to soothe the younger woman, "It's ok Red, we just wanted to be left alone, still do but ya know... evils coming".

Willow scoffed admidst the tears, "What, is it already tuesday, don't we have enough apocalypses?" Willow let Buffy go and rubbed her eyes clear as Faith kindly helped her back over to the sofa and sat down next to her and asked Oz to bring her something 'Red' liked to drink to 'calm her worries' and her loving boyfriend did just that.

Buffy decided to take the lead on this one and she would tell everyone what was going on and why they were suddenly back in Sunnydale after being so adamant about leaving and staying away for good.

"I think everyone should sit down and i'll explain what's going to happen within the next year or more" Buffy spoke with such authority that even Giles sat down and listened with an inquisitive ear he had never leant her before, atleast that's how the blonde Slayer saw it.

"i do want to make something clear, none of you have to fight this time, me and Faith are supercharged and soon our slayer powers will become something completly different and no longer bind us together with a demon" Buffy realised she had just dropped a bombshell and it was punctuated by Oz himself dropping and breaking a cup from the kitchen and shouting back a single 'Sorry'that seemed to fall on dead ears until Xander brokemthe Silence.

"So the Slayer power is demonic... the hell? since when, you're the good guys!" Xanders voice had even broke a little as he spoke and he tried to keep it under control with a cough at the end but it didn't go amiss.

"Yeah... we've worked out quite alot and it's going to get better but evil here in Sunnydale soon is gonna be a thing of the past. me and Faith have a life to live back home and we will not be missing out on it for longer than we have to" Buffy gave everyone a look which said, there is no discussion going to be had as Buffy was in control of what was about to happen completely.

"Oh which reminds me we wont be here in this dimension on Friday nights until monday morning" Buffy smiled but had Giles ask her back in a confused tone to his voice and manner. "And why is that exactly? Giles was then followed by Faith telling him exactly why.

"I have a 74 person art class to teach and Buffy is the captain of the town gaurd, sometimes we may have to go on bounty hunts too. Buffy also has a few over holdings in minerals and she even funded a new hospital and kindergarten... but she will explain all this once Oz comes back with the drink for poor little Red here". her tone had seemed to settle and shock the room with every passing moment.

"Wait so you guys are really out there just living your lives and working your asses off and you have fo juggle here and there just cause some new evil popped in to say hello?" Willow than noticed Oz behind her and thanked him as he handed her a mug of her favourite tea before moving into Faiths spot as she sat at the far end of the Sofa and Buffy joined her as everyone gathered round to hopefully find out what was going on and everything they missed.

Buffy had linked her hand with Faiths the entire time she was telling the story of where they had been and what they had been doing but of course she left out all the fun private parts that were just for her and Faith to remember at their own personal convenience. as she told her tale of what herself and Faith had been up to, how many people they have helped, bounties hunted and how they had found themselves amongst the hard work and violence they had put themselves through, how happy they were to be part of a morally good and stable community.

No one seemed to be able to argue with them either, she had made them know just how hard the slayer life had been on them both, how evil and unfair it was to force a young women into a cruciamentum for the simple fact they wanted to know if the Slayer was too strong for them to control anymore. The whole idea of that backwards ritual was to dominate a woman who was beyond their control and now nothing they could do would be able to stop them in the slightest.

Giles was the first to speak after Buffy had regaled them with her and Faiths story and what their plan was to deal with all the evil this dimension openly had allowed to fester.

"These new strengths of yours, your powers... where do they come from? can we replicate them. i like the idea of fully eradicating vampires and demons, giving people the ability to walk around safely alone amidst the night air".

Giles was shocked as Buffy barely gave him a response over than "Our abilities are now private, we won't allow people to replicate them and we will do our jobs and then leave again" Buffy wasn't cold or nasty in the slightest, she was dominant and knew who she was now.

Buffy had grown up and found herself and Giles knew why she had a lack of trust in them, for christs sake she had to resign herself to a demon filled dimension just to get some peace away from the drama which was her tumultuous life.

"Well why are you telling us any of thisnif you're so prepared and hell bent on doing things your own way, it sounds like you don't really need us anymore" Xander spoke bluntly and it shocked the whole room and yet the Slayers knew he was right, they didn't need them.

"We are giving you a heads up because i'm your friend, i'm not asking you to fight or get involved, within a week or so every vampire in Sunnydale will be dead along with a disgusting amount of demons" Buffy said without a hint of nerves about her, she was serious and Faith doubled down on her lovers stark words.

"We will have the situation so controlled here that the vamps wont even be able to rise after being turned, they will never be able to walk the streets in the night preying upon the innocent. we have learned alot of 'neat' tricks since being away" Faith happily let Buffy lean back into her and snuggle sweetly as Willow seemed to understand what they were saying.

"You've leaned spells that can do your job automatically to the point you only have to deal with the big things, which your new strength will have no issue dealing with when mixed with your new magics this Ruby has taught you" Willow was about to ask if she could meet Ruby but was interrupted by Faith who already knew the magical red head would ask.

"Red, we'll take you to see Ruby in the morning if ya want, in fact we can all go but what Ruby says is the law... she's my best friend and i won't have the drama of Sunnydale infect such a wonderful person. and before you answer back don't forget who you're talking to" Faith was threatening them, she was warning them to be cordial and well mannered and it had quite the profoumd effect on them as Buffy seemed to completly agree with her words.

Giles noted how calm her voice was and realised she was just giving them a warning and also options, they had a choice if they all wanted to keep fighting or if they wished to hang it up and go their own seperate ways and the ex watcher really didn't know which way he wanted to go right now.

"We all know this place is gonna be crawling with great evils every other week, the hellmouth is crazy and after this whole god issue we're gonna see if we can fully destroy it but... you guys need to make a decision on whether you want to continue the fight or, go and live your damn lives. hell it's a miracle we haven't lost life or limb yet in this damned town!"

Faith was motioning to Buffy that she wanted to stand up and the blond Slayer let her begrudgingly go but before she scooted off to the bathroom which is obviousoy where she wanted to go, Buffy pulled her in for a deep and sudden kiss before letting her go and sighing.

"Ah, that's better... we'll leave after you come back baby" and Faith dissapeared to the bathroom and that was when the gang descnded on Buffy and started asking her if she was 'Alright 'and 'did Faith have some way of controlling her' which made her instantly furious and she had to use all her willpower to stop herself from slapping them all.

Buffys voice went very low as she spoke and she gave them all an extremly angry look as she spoke, "Is it really so hard for you to accept that i am happy for once in my god damned life... which one of you convinced the others Faiths evil... i have always been on her side! what did you think would happen when we finally spent time together alone... are you all suffering from some new brand of retardation i was unaware of?". Buffy was furious but tried her hardest to keep her anger deep down inside herself.

"Willow could of happily performed a spell to prove Faith was innocent of everything you always accuse her of" Buffy gave Willow a look and she was hojest as she answered that

"yeah, i did the spell to make sure, but i was still worried". Giles cleaned his glasses but before he could get his words out Buffy stopped him.

"So what's the problem? i fell in love? so i can't have a life, none of you will ever get to control me or live vicariously through me! you can fight the good fight or fuck off and live your damn lives far away from me!"

Buffys words were spoken low and with alot of anger behind her teeth as she didn't want Faith to come rushing out and start throwing punches that she honestly believed they deserved at this point. Buffy walked past them and they all seemed to gather quite close together as they continued to silently listen to what their friend had to say.

"You will never take her away from me, if you want to remain anywhere in my life, Faith is a package deal. you can't touch us magically, you'll just end up killing yourselves if you even try. do i make myself clear..." Buffy had to make sure she was being clear as she knew they would try something but now they would think twice about it since she was immune to any of the pathetic magic they could conjure here.

"We understand, but you can see where we are coming from..." Giles started as Buffy interrupted him once again.

"No, i really don't. at this point all you seem to want is to control me muchnlike the council did... Faith wanted me to come here, she wanted me to bury the hatchet, i wasn't even going to tell you i was back! i had plans to mask myself with illusion magic you dumbasses. she is the only reason i gave you all the courtesy and you still try your hardest to demonise her when you do not know her from adam!" Buffy was thankful when she heard the toilet flush and Faith come out of the bathroom so she could finally leave. Faith knew what she was walking into as she had heard everything but pretended as if she was none the wiser.

"So lovely seeing you all again but B and me have gotta lay some graveyard traps before Joyce makes dinner for us! oh i should really stop by the shop and purchase some ingredients for a cheesecake... maybe some blueberries too" Faith glided across the living room and pulled Buffy in for a chaste kiss.

"You just wanna impress my mum, you should all try her cooking sometime. she's got amazing at it over the years, mums going to be shocked when she realises how well you can actually cook" Buffys attitude had changed but everytime Faith wasn't looking directly at her she was giving them all a very angry look, she didn't know Faith was fully aware of what had happened.

"So! people we are off and if the adorable blonde here is well behaved i might have time to make her some home made pop tarts! but you guys... if you want to keep up the good fight, pop down to the magic box at about mid day tommorow as me and B will be going through the pre planning for our big old evil slaying mission!" Faith grinned as Buffy grabbed hold of her hand and dragged her so hastily from the house she was sure she had left smoke lines like a looney tunes cartoon. the entire room was left silent as fhey were faced with the facts that maybe Buffy was onto something, maybe they never really did take her feelings and wants or needs into consideration.

Giles lit up a cigarette and opened one of the small windows and stood their silently smoking as Xander was the first to speak up after a short silence.

"She's right you know, we did demonise Faith while she defended her every damn day we tried to say something. hell she killed Angel and Buffy forgave her, quickly, Will you proved she wasn't magically charmed into anything too" Xander was now pointing fingers and throwing his hands up in the air as he knew that this time they were the problem and not some evil they usually fought with their savvy wits and a hefty battle ax.

"She's right though, we do try to live through her, yh we help but she knows who she is and spent 2 years in another dimension avoiding us and building a life for herself, she built a school and a hospital with the money she made from bounty hunting and striking gold and platinum... and what are we doing, trying to save a women who never needed saving in the first place." Willow sipped her cooled tea and looked around knowing what she said stung them deeply.

Xander spoke up "I think she's right, i have to find a job ya know. something to do with myself, hell i should be building a life or something and what am i doing, fighting evil without any powers or any without being any real use to anyone" Xander stood up and moved for the door, he didn't even say goodbye as he slammed the door behind him and possibly just went home or to actually find that job he spoke of.

Willow was unhappy with the way that everything had been going as of late but a spell wouldn't fix this, she had considered a time reversal spell until she realised how Buffys new powers would easily be unaffected by them and the spell itself would only bring her to an alternate but similar dimension the Slayers wouldn't be affected by. They had both grown so powerful at this point they were even going to disconnect the demon inside them and turn it angelic, they were seperate entities from the council now, from them also.

Alas, Willow wanted to fight evil, she wanted to be the hero like Buffy was. she knew she could accept Buffy being gay even if it was with someome like Faith, but she could not live with herself if she was weak. she didn't want to revert back to the Willow she was, the bullied girl without a back bone, Buffy had assumed she would of been the hero to take her place, when she travelled to her dimension she had said as much.

But here she was holding onto her boyfriend and hiding like a weak little girl, a bystander who sometimes got to cast a semi useful spell. "I think she's right, we do live through her and i don't wanna do that anymore! i'm going to the magic box tommorow.

"I'm going to become a better witch, Buffy thought i would take her place when she left, she trusted me and all i'm doing is taking a background role as per usual... no, i will be better" Willow grabbed hold of Oz and left Giles's home. he had said his goodbyes and not even once stopped puffing on his now very short ciggarette.

He had no idea what he wanted to do himself anymore, should he return to england and find a job in the motherland or should he stay and continue fighting evil with a girl who had obviously surpassed his teachings a long time ago. He would go to the magick box tommorow and make sure he wasn't needed anymore before he made a final decision on what to do with his life. Giles was also lost in his own life right now and had no earthly idea what he was doing with himself anymore, Buffs grasp of the situation and her own life had made him realise he had to start taking the bull by the horns and fix what was obviously broken in his life.

Buffy was basically stomping away from Giles house angrily and innquite a temper but she had not once let go of Faiths hand, in fact her grip had got a whole lot tighter as she was marching down the street as if she actually had a destination in mind.

"Woah, hold ya horses Baby, where are we even going? at this pace we'll be outta state in 20" Faith spoke with a calm, soft voice that caused Buffy to slow down and take a more reasonable stride to her step and give the poor long legged brunette some time to breath.

"Sorry, we're gonna go to every graveyard and cast a holy reign spell in each one and then we can go shopping for my homemade poptarts" Buffy was still fuming and Faith had known this whole situation could of gone alot worse but she had wanted to help her lover with her friends to make this whole situation a lot easier on them both.

"Well atleast we have a plan before dinner, look B, i heard everything... thanks for defending me, you really didn't have to" Faith told her in an understsnding kind of tone but Buffy was having none of it.

"Of course i have to defend you! you're the one i love, don't say such silly things Faith. they deserve to be yelled at a whole lot more and you know they don't care about you... hell i wouldn't be suprised if Willow was coming up with a way to get rid of you out of jealousy or something!" Buffy stopped fully as she realised they were nearing the first graveyard and she began mentally preparing the spell in her mind, hut she still said what came tk her naturally as she was furious with her friends constant nonsense.

"They either accept you or they have nothing to do with us, we are a package deal, i mean that Faith. we are for life, i expect you to grow old with me and hopefully shorter in the end too... you're like a redwood sometimes" Buffy grinned and Faith replied.

"Well good to know you never had any trouble climbing trees then". Buffy came to the entrance and made sure no one was ariund as she began chanting inna strange langauge and her eyes began glowing a white/green mix which eventually covered the entire graveyard and after a few moments she began to hear the tell tale sound of sleeping vampires being dusted and their evil presence fading from her mind.

"Man the holy reign spell is cool, we only have to renew it every full moon and our vamp problems are gone for weeks... ya gotta admit Ruby has some cool ideas B" Faith praised her dear friend and Buffy noted they still had like 18 more to go and she would owe her the cheesecakes and home made pop tarts as payment for her amazing magical abilities.

Faith chuckled and promised she would happily let Buffy eviscerate every vamp and demon in Sunnydale if it was only at the cost of some delicous home made confections.

"Ya know Dawn told me that TNG was on tonight and she even taped the last one for ya that you missed cause of the whole Angel and Mayor thing. so we kinda have a sci-fi double feature tonight if you're up for it" Faith was rolling 6's as Buffy had really missed her star trek nights and had complained so many times that Al-Kufir needed to develop an interdimensional cable television just so she could get her bad movie and T.V fix.

"What would i ever do without you? why did i ever think i could live without you? Faith, you make me happy" the shorter Slayer shot Faith a soft look as the sun was high in the sky and making Faiths heart swoon as her muse basked in all of it's golden glory.

Faith tried to hide her blush "You're my whole reason for being B, i was planning to just die alone in Al-kufkr and then you... you let me hold you, i still remember how perfect it felt allowing myself to be weak in front of you." Faith motioned that they should continue in to the next graveyard and fhey began moving at beyond normal speed as long as there were no people about and then they'd slow down.

"Is it wrong to think that night was unbelievably romantic? that holding you is the only time i feel complete? i feel like life is worth living again" Buffy grinned as she admitted how she felt, something Faith knew oh so well but she loved hearing it.

"Well later you're gonna feel stuffed to bursting cause i'm going to make sure you have the best dessert of your life but you have to let everything set cause i know you... cake thief" Faith shot an accusatory glance at the cute blonde who played the shocked, indignant role of offended culprit very well.

"I would never steal your heavenly desserts before they set... no matter how mouth wateringly delicious they are" Buffy lied as naturally as she breathed although she was perfectly aware that Faith knew as she had obviously been the one to eat the previous cakes. it had become a game between them, Buffy feinging ignorance to something only she could of done was just one of the many small things they had privately enjoyed together.

Faith never seemed to lose her temper with Buffy even once, the closest they had ever come to an argument was over a bounty hunt and who shot the demons head off first, that ended in a 3 hour long sex filled extravaganza which had caused them to forget all about who even shot what's his face.

"You're lucky ya so damn cute B, plus i'm kinda whipped when it comes to you" Faith smiled as they came to the next graveyard and Buffy was already casting another spell while still holding her lovers soft but suprisingly strong hand.

Buffy finished the spell and looked over to the graveyard and heard even more vampires combust and a few demons had even burned to death, which was oddly gruesome until face cast her own spell and the bodies of the large monsters instantly disintegrated.

"Faith you arent whipped, you have many boundaries i refuse to cross, i might brush against them sometimes but we talk our problems out now and it's alot more adult then you tieing me up and giving me forehead kisses... but you could tie me up again, i just expect the kisses to be alot... lower ya know what i'm getting at" Buffy gave her an awkward but cute wink which elicited a scoff and a laugh from the dark Slayer.

"B, i'll tie ya up and eat your tight wet pussy any damn time you want, i'll even hand out free spankies if you're a good little slayer" Faith raised her eyebrow and bit her lip so seductively that Buffy had thought maybe she could take the girl for some rough and tumble through the tomb stones until she was dragged away to the next graveyard. But she knew for sure Faith would be screaming her name tonight, even if she had to gag her to save Her sisters and mothers eardrums from rupturing from what she was about to do to the sexy brunette.

~~*

Buffy and Faith had been home for hours and most of the time was spent with Joyce and Dawn getting Buffy readjusted to life in the Summers house, Faith had actually spent her time making a blue berry cheesecake and those home made poptarts as she didn't really have the same type of social battery as Buffy did and preferred to be left alone alot of the time, her inly exception to that was the blonde slayer herself.

Faith found herself always craving the beautiful young womans love and attention, but yet she did try to tone her overbearing feelings back a tad as she always had a fear deep down inside herself that she could be way to overbearing in her romantic endeavors. Buffy however did nothing of the sort, she usually initiated all of the romantic moments between them as the Sapphic goddess craved the taller brunnettes closeness at nearly all moments of the day. It was something she absoloutly adored about Buffy and as she set the poptarts ro set Buffy returned to the kitchen looking worse for wear and absoloutly knackered after spending so long with her mother again.

Buffy came up from behind and wrapped her arms around the more muscular girl and just enjoyed the warmth of the well dressed girl who was looking absoloutly stunning innher black jeans and tank top, her red hemp shirt went so well with her Ribbon that Buffy couldn't believe how domestic and stunningly beautful her girl could be everytime she cooked or baked for her.

Buffy enjoyed the moment as Faith sighed happily and asked her "Tired from all the family stuff eh, ya mum will probably start cooking soon as it's 6 o clock and we have some Star Trek to watch... oh and i have something for you" Faith turned around in her lovers arms and softly kissed the bridge of her nose.

"My bag has a dimensional compartment and i put some Nuka Colas in the fridge for you and Dawn. i know how much you like them" Faith gave her a wide smile which she returned jovially and kissed her deeply but was interrupted by a cough coming from the kitchen door.

"You girls need to go and join Dawn in the living room, she's kicking up a storm over some sci-fi thing... and i have to start dinner or we're never gonna eat" Joyce already had a glass of wine in her hand and had even offered Faith a glass but she refused in private as Buffy had already rushed to the living room alone whilst Faith made sure her cake and pop tarts were ready to set.

"Sorry Joyce, i don't drink when i'm with Buffy... in fact i don't really drink at all anymore". Joyce was suprised as it was Faith who had always 'irished' up her coffees and she had become used to it for awhile but she had to constantly remind herself that the girl was now 20 and although on documents her age was 17 and technically younger than Buffy by eeveral months, she was technically the older girl now and it showed in how mature she had become since last she saw them both.

"I'm sure Buffy wouldn't mind you having a glass or two Faith, you are over 20 for christs sake" Joyce pointed the bottle towards her again but Faith raised her hands and declined once more.

"I used to drink alot while i was along in Al-Kufir, i... i don't really have any reason too anymore so thanks, but no thanks. but please have an extra glass for me" Faith grabbed some Nuka Colas and made her way towards the living room as Buffy was firing up the VCR and almost dancing as she cheerfuly boogied across the living room and jumping into the soft sofa Cushions next to Dawn as Faith watched them both whilst leaning on the door frame.

Buffy was giggling as she annoyed Dawn and wrenched the remote control from her and pressed play, her eyes fell over to the door way and she could help but grin with a beaming smile as she saw her tall, muscular slim lover watching her tenderly from the door way.

"You joining us beautiful or just on a delivery" Buffy playfully joked as the titles started playing and Faith smirked cheekily as she entered the room and handed both girls their favourite colas.

"The dessert is ready to set and Joyce is already slaving away over a hot stove for us, so i thought i'd come join you both. if you'd have me that is" Faith sat down next to her lover and draped an arm over the sofa as she took a long sip from her cola.

"I wouldn't have anyone else, especially when watching star trek, i need my beautiful girlfriend to remind me i'm not a total nerd" Buffy found herself snuggling into Faith and enjoying the warmth as the show started and her attention was drawn towards the colorful box she hadn't seen in over 2 years.

Faith smiled warmly and placed a soft kiss on her girlfriends head and pulled her in just a little bit closer, "You're not a nerd, just too smart and too pretty for any normal person to understand you" Faith whispered and Buffy acknowledged her words by tightly gripping her leg and then gently rubbing her thumb against her jean fabric.

"Man... you two are so in love it makes me feel unbearably alone sometimes" Dawn rolled her eyes and leaned into Buffy and hugged her sweetly as the show rolled on and Buffys eyes were transfixed on the telly.

"Well, it's a shame you're forbidden from dating until you're atleast 30... no 40 maybe" Buffy snickered and Dawn pinched her but she barely felt it and just flicked her forhead without looking back but she knew she had struck true as she heard the tell tale sounds and Faith trying not to laugh at the girls face she was making was absoloutly ridiculous. Faith gave Dawn a lookmas the girl was going to do something stupid in response but stopped as she knew Faith would stop her instantly so she decided against it and just hugged Buffy instead.

"Man phasers would be so awesome to fight demons, think we could get Ruby to make us some?" Buffy asked only semi serious but alas Faith still answered her.

"We could probanly just use light magic and fire it from our fingers like a gun? maybe ice or wind magic too, ohhh, that sounds fun. we could ask Ruby how to do magic finger guns, so american!" Faith chuckled as she mimed the actikn with her now free hand after she had out her nuka down on a coaster.

"When will you guys teach me how to fight anyway, can i learn magic soon?" Dawn begged and Buffy answered her by talking to Faith.

"Well baby, she is gonna be on a school break for like 8 weeks since Sunnydale high exploded, mayne longer... maybe we should take her to Rubys with us so she can learn more than how to make a flippy floppy fireball?" Buffys waved her hand to mimic fire but then flopped it down dead in mock of Dawns lack of magical control. Faith sighed and gave her a faux pout.

"Well, i guess we could... but i think her wibbly wobbly fireballs are cute! oh well, nothing lasts forever i guess" Faith gave Dawn a nod of her head and made it clear to the girl she would continue learning with them. her powers would also start manifesting after a couple of months as her enchantments made her permamently stronger over time, it was best to teach her all the basics of fighting and magic whilst she was still blue behind the gills. it would give her a deep starting point when she was vastly stronger to look back on with a sense of pride and accomplishment as the months went on.

"You guys are the best, i'm gonna kick so much ass! next time we see Spike i'll give him a flying kick or a right hook, yeah i'll hook him" Dawn was so excitable she could barely sit in place anymore But Joyce came in and asked if the girls needed anything. everyone said 'no' and she went back to the kitchen with a smile on her face, she was happy to see her daughters happily spending time together, Buffy was always Slaying so she never had much time for Dawn anymore but since she returned and they spent a momth together in another dimension their relationship had seemed to deepen.

Joyce was adding some extra salt and pepper to the food and she began to think that maybe it was Faiths influence on her daughter that kept her calmer than usual, more social and willing to spend time with her little sister again.

Joyce opened the refridgerator and spied the cakes she had left ro set and was shocked at how good they looked, the brunette had really become quite the acckmllished cook by the looks of it while they were living in domestic bliss god knows how many dimensions away from this one. Buffy had also said she was an art teacher 'back home', Joyce didn't like how Buffy so openly referred to that other place as 'home' when her only home was here in Sunnydale.

The mother of two just couldn't wrap her head around it all as easily as Dawn had, her daughter was now physically 20 and an acomplished bounty hunter, Slayer and mineral owner who was rich in her other dimension. She was here on weekdays to basically eradicate evil and eventually a god, not once did she ever say she came back home because she wanted to, it was her duty to do so. Joyce knew how her daughters strong sense of morals and justice could land her in hot water alot of the time.

Joyce heard laughter from the living room again and couldn't help but find her normally cold disposition light up, she realised Faith was going to be a permament fixture around this house and she couldn't be happier. she was annoyed they would leave every friday and spend their weekends in private but then again they were both old enough to make those decisions for themselves. h

Her daughter was now especially head strong and spoke in a well worded manner that she neved had before, she assumed it was all the literature she consumed over there. she had also promised to bring back some photo albums and maybe some of Faiths sketchbooks after their next return.

She had to admit to herself she was very interested in Faiths artwork but the tall tree of a girl had all but avoided the topic when they spoke earlier. they both needed time here at home, in a place that no one would judge them, a place they could be themselves.

~~*

Dinner was lovely and yet Buffy had to pretend like it was better than it actually was as she had most certainly become used to Faiths cooking and the food back home, everything here tasted strange and much like chemicals now. Faith also had to try her hardest to get through dinner as the food wasn't bad, it just wasn't as fresh as back home, not clean as it should be and they could taste it now.

It made Faith wonder how she ever ate the food in this dimension before and also how the hell did Buffy even enjoy pop tarts still, it would be something she would ask Buffy later as eating in this dimension was something she really didn't enjoy anymore. knowing Ruby she was probably home right now eating all her fsvourite food while the two slayers were stuck eating this dimensions food.

Buffy was the first to leave the table and wash up which caused Joyce to suffer a small form of panic as usually Buffy would ask for seconds or go and snack on something jn the kitchen when she thought her mother wasn't looking, funny thing was even Dawn was remaining silent after eating dinner as she was used to the other dimensions food now but she refused to say anything as to not hurt her mothers feelings.

Buffy returned from the kitchen and said to her mother she was going to read on the back porch as it was a warm summer evening and she was going to find a book for her and Faith and they would be reading together before bed. Joyce looked like a deer in the headlights as she heard her daughter say something she had never believed she would hear come out of the girls mouth.

"Ok... sure, Dawn can help me clear up afterall it is your first night home in years, for you both. it's only right you relax and try yiud best to acclimatise back to normality". Joyce gave the girls a light smile as they excused themselves and Buffy went upstairs to find a good book where as Faith dissapeared outside and began preparing a place they could sit and read together in peace and quiet before bed.

Joyce asked Dawn in a low tone, "Dawn you were with your sister for over a month in this over place, is this normal? their behavior i mean" Joyce didn't mean to pry but the idea of her daughter sharing a book with her girlfriend was a very odd concept to the mother who had rarely seen the blonde Slayer pick up a book in the entirety of the time she had raised her.

"Yeah, they read together every night, sometimes seperate books, sometimes they share, Faith also paints and sketches alot so sometimes she even reads to Faith while she's scribbling away" Dawn said it so matter of factly but she could see the confusion om her mothers face run rampant as she had no idea Buffy was that kind of person.

"Mum, she had a hidden book collection under her bed, it's my guess that Buffy will come down with either pride and predujice in her hands or jane eyre, she complained how much she missed both books like 20 times a week to me" Dawn cleared the table and set everything on the side as Buffy slipped past and gave her mother a kiss on the cheek.

"Oh Buffy! what book are you reading tonight? Joyce asked with genuine intrigue to her voice and Buffy responded with a bubbly demeanor. "Pride and predujice, i brought it years ago... well to you a few months ago from that little bookstore next to the florists on Redwood street.

Faith said she had never had a chance to read it so... we're gonna" the blonde Slayer happily waltzed outside and sat in the largest seat they had and was suprised as Faith magicked up a warm looking blue blanket for them to snuggle under, Joyce sighed as she came to accept her daughters new ways and knew she would still be shocked whenever her daughter portrayed a new behavior she had never seen from her before but she would try to be atleast 'underetanding' if she could.

"See told ya mum, Buffys always had alot of secret interests, guess she doesn't care what people think of her anymore" Dawn went outside gave both Slayers a kiss goodnight and came back inside to do the same with her mother before going upstairs yawning her pretty little head off.

Joyce had another glass of wine as she sat watching whatever crap she could find on the television but she couldn't help that feel her little girl had finally become all grown up, sorted out all her deep seeded issues and moved on. she never expected her daughter to become a card carrying lesbian but she knew it was always a possibility, just one she never thought she would ever see manifest itself so quickly and in such a mature manner.

Hours had passed and it was now half ten and both girls came back inside to say goodnight before they went off to bed and Joyce saw them off up the stairs and asked them how they liked the book to which Faith replied, "Not really the biggest fan of Mr Darcy yet but, i do like elizabeth and even the loopy mother is abit of fun" Faith noticed Buffy scoff and giggle.

"Easy for you to say, you're pretty similar, you'll work it out when we get further in the book honey. goodnight mom! we'll be up early and off to meet Ruby at the magic Box at about 8 or 9" Buffy began to walk up stairs with Faith in tow until she stopped in her tracks and turned to say something more.

"Dawn's coming with, she'll be training with us... i promised her and she's pretty strong these days so, it's just a good way to keep her busy while the holidays are going on" Buffy wasn't asking, she was telling and it was non negotiable and Joyce simply accepted it, she was too drunk to say no anyway and she couldn't really find a good reason too either.

"You said the art studio needed your full attention for the next few weeks so it's our way of taking some of the workload off your plate" Faith added and Joyce liked the idea as she was going to be run ragged soon and needed as much calm as she could muster, if should muster any calm whatsoever.

"Well, just don't let her touch too much of that magic stuff, i don't need Dawn turning into a frog anytime soon. where could you find a prince in this day and age in california". Joyce said goodnight to them both and they happily wandered off to their bedroom as Joyce fell into hers and onto a soft pillowy bed and fell asleep almost instantly.

Buffy was now standing in what was to her now a 'childhood bedroom' one she didn't like in the slightest anymore, it was queer to her that she was standing here again and Faith felt how strange it really was for her to be back here now.

"I know B, i'd rather be home too... but we're not doing this ourselves ya know" Faith threw herself down dramatically on the bed as Buffy locked the door behind them.

"Yh, it's just, it's not our home and other than Dawn... i don't feel alot for anyone here anymore. i think i outgrew them Baby" Buffy walked over to their strange new bed and began to strip and the dark Slayer couldn't help but lift herself up just enough to watch her lover strip and it caused a smirk to appear on both girls face.

"You know, i never did get you up to my room before we started dating. i used to think of you every night... and some mornings too" Buffy pointed over to the pillow and was now standing their in her matching black bra and panties.

"You love telling me how much you used to masturbate thinking about me and yet i never get to tell you. then again why tell when you can just show" Faith pulled her down onto the bed and began to rub her hands all over her beautiful muses tanned body.

"I've only ever dreamt of you B, you know that you are my first love, it's still scary to say it out loud sometimes... ya know how i get scared you'll just up and leave me" Faith whispered as she rolled Buffy over and began to strip herself slowly for the petite girls eyes only.

"I wish you'd stop acting as if you're some leper, every time you touch me, take your top of or kiss me i become a tsunami down there. you do things to me i can hardly believe are real" she slipped her hands under Faiths bra as she popped it off and she now had to hands full of her voluptuous mounds and couldn't help but bite her lip and almost draw blood as she lay underneath her lover and took in her divine femimine form.

"Oh fuck! i know my camera is in my bag but... i really don't wanna look away right now..." she bit her lip and tormented her nipples in such a pleasent way that Faith couldn't hold her moan inside and quickly clasped her hand to her mouth and moaned even harder as Buffy shot up and took her left nipple inside her mouth and tormented her further.

"Wait B, we can't... they'll hear us!" Faith mumbled through her barely closed hands as her lover rolled her nipple across hed tongue and elicited a deeper barely contained moan as she bit down on her erect nipple just as hard as Faith liked it. Faiths eyes were now focused on Buffy who had a cocky look fhat Faith just couldn't let go, she knew Buffys fantasy was having the tall brunette sneaking into her room and making her submit to her every whim.

She knew this because Buffy had once let it slip after a few too many drinks on a bounty and she knew one day she would make it become a reality. so tonight it was time for the dominant Faith to return and she knew just how to set the mood.

"Buffy..." Faith moaned through a fleeting whisper that almost fell on deaf ears. Buffys face looked confused as she detached from her nipple and asked "what's Wrong?" Buffy gently spoke as she was also trying to keep her voice down.

Faith waved her hand and a wave travelled throughout the room and confused Buffy as she waved her other hand the opposite direction and her bag opened to reveal a myriad of magical candles placing themselves strategically around the room.

"No one will hear you now, no matter how hard you scream my name!" Faiths voice was deeper and more commanding now as she pushed Buffy back down into the freshly made soft cushiony bed sheets.

"I have to admit B, you have no idea how many times i wanted to spring up that drain pipe, break into this room and tie you up and have my way with you... i used to cum so hard imagining what i could do to you. what i'd let you do to me..." the last bit was whispered as she clicked her fingers and the candles all lit up instantly. the room was illuminated and filled with the familiar sounds of home, a sense of relief washed over Buffy as she let the magical candles wash over her and Faith noticed the change in both their moods.

"I miss home too B, but i've fantasies so many times of fucking you in this bed. i'm never going to let you forget me, You're mine twinkie and i can't wait to get through to that delicious creamy center" Faith suddenly used her strength to rip Buffys bra off which caused her to gasp in shock as usually Faith was soft and carjng unless she knew she could turn up the dominance but this time she knew Faith was worried about coming back here to the place where a vast majority of the worst mistakes she had made were played out for everyone to see.

"Faith! what are you?.." Buffy didn't have time to ask what she wanted too as Buffys panties were also torn off and discarded almost simaltaneously whilst Faith then pinned Buffys hands above her head and held them there in place so she couldn't escape even if she wanted too.

"You always tell me i belong to you and you don't share... but i mean it B. i will never let anyone else touch you, you are mine. my wife, my property and i am yours. and right now..." Faith let ine of her hands slowly travel down the length of Buffys supple frame before gettjng just low enough that she could begin stirring her lovers honey pot.

"Right now, i'm going to remind you who your woman is, so you'll never forget!" Faith then let her fingers trace the moist freshly shaven folds of Buffys perfectly tight little pussy and begin playing with her swollen clit as the heavy moans escaped her supple moist lips. her chest began to rise and fall with Faiths expert ministrations, her fingers explored the well travelled road and still managed to find new tender places to make her lovers heart skip a beat.

"Faith, i'm yours... how could i ever forgrt the women i love, so fucking deeply" and with that final word said Faith plunged two fingers deeply into Buffys hungry love hole and adored seeing her womans eyes roll into the back of her head as she began pumping away as Faith still used her free hand to pin Buffys hands above her hand and hold them there tightly in place.

"Fuck my pussy baby, i'm yours. your fucking women, i belong to you and only you!" Buffys moans grew alot louder as Faith pumped away and began to brutally finger fuck her lover the way she knew Buffy liked the most.

"Maybe i should take the dildo you have hidden in that draw over there and fuck you with it B, remember when you told me about that thing... how big was it 7 inches?" Faith cockily mocked as Buffys eyes sprung wide open and she looked away and whispered "7... and a half".

Buffy couldn't look her lover in the face as she had forgotten she had told Faith about that little secret she had hidden away at the back of her drawer and as she was panting away Faith clicked her fingers and used her magic to bring the thick, veiny white plastic cock into her fingerjng hand and she stopped fingering her girlfriend and positioned the fat veiny plastic cock against the thoroughly slick entrance to her wanting womanhood.

"Don't you want me to fuck you with my fat veiny cock B, isn't that what you whispered to me in Kalmar'ni... when you rode my face to completion" Faith said so loud Buffy was scared the noise cancelling spell would fail and everyone would hear what she had just let forth into the ether.

"I... I want you to fuck me with you're fat juicy cock Faith..." Buffy moaned in rapturous pleasure as Faith rubbed the fat thing up and down her wet skit and slowly allowed the tip to go inside her just a few centimetres. "Why? why is this my cock, remind me why you brought this thing in the first place..." Faith bit her lips and tightened her grip on Buffys pinned hands, her extra heigh made her dominance a whole lot easier to pull off as Buffy wiggled on the fat plastic cock, trying her hardest to get some pleasure out of her lovers pleasurable plastic phallus.

"I brought it when i met you, cause i knew if you were a man you wouod have a fat girthy cock. something you could dominate me with, break me with..." the words escaped Buffys lips the same way they had the night she first said them to Faith in their now home dimension, shyly and with a certain air of trepadatiion.

"I brought it so one day you would fuck me with your own fat cock and lay claim to what is yours! so fucking please fuck me! fuck me baby with your monste cock!" Buffy ws snow trying to force herself down on the cock head and Faith would not let her.

Faith threw the plastic cock across the room and let Buffy go and stood back up above the bed, Buffys was confused and angry until Faith dropped her panties to the floor and started chantjng a few magic words she had never heard before.

"What the hell!? no way... that thing's huge!" Buffys eyes were wide with winder as Faith magically changed her genitalia into a fat veiny nine inch cock and stood their with it at full throbbing mast as Buffy got to her knees on floor in front of her bed and was nervous to even touch the monstrous thing.

"Ruby taught me the spell, she said you could thank her later, oh and no chance of getting pregnant unless i use another spell so... i can fill you up with as much of my own magical cum as i want too B! now be a good girl..." Faith was now towering above her cautious lover who was cowering in fear and excitmemt as her girlfriends massive monster dong was hovering abover her lips.

"Suck it!" Faith commanded and even though Buffy had never sucked a cock before she did as she was told and opened her mouth as wide as she could and began working Faiths massive and somehow delicious cock head.

"Oh fuck B, use your tongue more, go deeper.." Faith now had her hand behind Buffys head and she was guiding the inexperienced girl as she sucked her very first cock. Buffy had opened her jaw as wide as she could and sent shivees of pleasure down Faiths spine as she began to slowly lick and suck her magical tip with an eagerness she knew for a fact Buffy only reserved for eating her out.

"Oh fuck B, this is so much better than that plastic cock you had hidden away for me to use on you" Faith praised the petite blonde who was now going deeper and bobbing her head up and down the lengthy shaft with a passion, Faith felt like she would explode the moment Buffys eyes connected with hers and stayed in place staring up at her lover as she pulled back and ran her tongue across the hesd of Faiths juicy fat cock.

"I always thought you'd make me suck the dildo after fucking me with it" Buffy was happy onnher knees as she used her hand to pump the massive meat stick with her impossible strength and Faith could feel her knees begin to buckle as Buffy began to take control and fight her lover for dominance as she always loved to do.

"Oh B, baby... you better hope your Slayer healing is as advanced as mine... cause tommorow, you wont be able to walk when i'm through with you" Faith leaned down to pick the well toned nude Slayer off of the floor and Bring her in close as she began to tongue fuck her sexy little mouth.

Buffys head was spinning as she wrapped her legs around Faiths waist without even thinking about how close her monstrous girl cock was as the brunette reached a hand underneath Buffys ass and positioned her engorged rod as the perfect slit which was Buffys tight pink pussy was abiut to be resized forever.

"I won't ever let you think of anyone else, i'm gonna fuck you so hard you can never cum for any other person ever again!" Faith knew Buffy was about to respond as she entered the small blonde and caused her unformed words to suddenly become a garbled mess of pained moans. Buffy without thinking began to kiss and bite Faiths slender neck as she was experiencing the force of Faiths vigorous pumoing in and out of her.

"Fuck Faith! take me... i'm yours, i belong to you mistress! ahhhhh, fuck you're so big!" Buffy was even more shocked as Faiths massive member kept digging deeper and she felt more full than she had ever felt before in her life. it was as if she was a virgin again.

"Mistress Faith... looks like you came up with a cute little nickname for me B, i like it but... fucccck me you are so tight! i can feel all of you and i'm only five inches deep or more" Faith told Buffy she was not all the way in and that was when the panting, hungry girl clasped Faith tighter, bit her neck deeper and slammed herself down onto Faith thick veiny 9 inch rod and screamed in pleasure and eventually threw her head back as Faith fucked her ragged and her tongue lolled out and she panted and moaned like a bitch in heat. "Faith! my Faith... i'm your fucking whore, i never knew what sex was before i met you!".

Buffy admitted to herself what she had been secretly keeping to herself for years, all she remembered of Angel was how small his cock was and how terrible the sex was and how quickly it had ended. But Faith was always willing to roleplay and explore, with her hands, tongue and now magic and who knew what else as the years went by. Faith was her soulmate and she was everything shw had ever wanted in a partner and so much more all at the same time.

"You can cum inside me! breed me Faith... ah fuck harder! breed your soulmates tight little pussy! breed me in my bed baby and then make me eat your delicious pussy!" Buffy was going wild and Faith loved being commanded to breed her lover even though she knew she would have to utter a spell to do it she had to stay objective and as much as she enjoyed the idea of truly dominating Buffy with her magical seed, Faith decided to flood her womb with her magical essence instead and leave the breeding until they were fully living back home in Al-Kufir.

"Buffy Summers begging her girlfriend to breed her tight little Slayer pussy, now this isn't what i imagined when i learnt this spell, but fuck me you always manage to blow expectations B" Faith moved them towards the bed and lay her atop the covers and her head against the pillow as her cock was now almost fully out and the smaller girl couldn't take it anymore and begged Faith at the top of her desperate voice.

"Fuck me Faith!!, FUCKING RAPE ME! MAKE ME YOUR FUCKING CUMDUMPSTER!!!" Buffy screamed in untold pleasure as Faith took her entire 9 inches and began violently slamming into Buffys soon to be gaping cum filled pussy as her eyes rolled into the back of her head whilst her moans filled the magically silenced room.

"Anything you want baby, just never forget how much i love and adore you Buffy..." Faith kissed her fervently with such unbridled passion that Buffy had began completly forgot where and who she was for a moment. she had wanted to roll Faith over and ride her lover as her heaving swewt laden breasts defied gravity and bounced hynotically for her viewing pleasure.

Alas Faith had completly buried her magical female monster cock as deep as she could inside Buffys impossibly tight honey pot and the Slayer naturally wrapped her legs as tightly as she could around Faiths was to make sure her beautiful lesbian lover would slam her full of magical semen and breed her good and proper.

Buffy had secretly wanted this since she learned it was possible a couple of months ago but was nervous to ask Ruby about it for shame of being mocked or misunderstood and yet she was head over heels and over the moon that Faith had taken the initiative. she was being slammed into submission and felt as if she was experiencing a galaxy busting orgasm as she let her Slayer strength encase Faith within an rib busting embrace as her voice Failed her between the many slaps of their bodies smashing together.

Buffys bed sounded as if it was close to breaking and she wanted to say something but Faith was making her crash into her second mind bending orgasm and she forgot whatever it was she wanted to say as she moaned loudly in Faiths ear, "Baby, I'm gonna, I'm... fuckin cum'in again! FUCK BABY IT'S SO!! ARGHHH HARDER!" Faith obliged and thrusted with all her might again and again, she was really putting hee hips into it as Buffy found herself digging her nails in Faiths arching back as she began to warn her lover of the incoming tsunami of love she was about to be filled with.

"Baby, i'm going to cum! oh god dig those nails in deeper... baby, ahhh!" Buffy dug her long well manicured nails down the legth of her back and as she reached the arch Faith spasmed and began Filling Buffy up with her magical seed as the Slayer underneath buckled under her passionate love making and came harder than the first time and tried with all her strength to keep Faith locked in and close to her chest.

Faith seemed to faint almost as she lay upon her lovers sweat covered heaving breasts that were now rising and falling under Buffys erractic breathing pattern that she definetly didn't have under control.

Buffy slowly recovered along side her lover who fell out of her and rolled over to the other pillow and could barely catch her breath as you could see all the veins of her body stand up underneath her skin and her eyes were completly glazed over to boot.

"Wow! now i understand why guys love having a dick so much, you are amazing... what are you doing?" Buffy was wobbly but managed to position herself between Faiths spread open legs and take hold of the still rock hard 9 inch monster that was slicks with their combined juices and she smiled wide as she met her muses deep brown eyes as she licked their combined juices from base to tip.

"I've never done this before baby, why do you taste so fucking good!" Buffy kissed the tip of her pink headed warrior and began blowing her lover and swallowimnga mixture of their cum and realising she really enjoyed the taste of them being mixed together way more than she should, she was begining to think she was a pervert.

"Buffy I love you, but ya don't have to clean it, i can just get rid of it wifh a words and we can... if you still want to..." Faith sounded scared that she maybe had turned Buffy straight but there was no worry about that as Buffy responded with.

"Baby shut up, you know how much i love drinking your juices and now i get to drink our cum mixed together! give me a moment and then i will devour you perfect little pussy!... well if i stop seeing stars i will" Buffy gave Faith a goofy smile as she felt how raw her pussy had become and she even winced a little in pain which made Faith spring up and use the magic word to make her meaty cock dissapear as she tended to her lovers pain.

Buffy however brushed it off and laughed about it "thank god it'll be healed in like 20 minutes, you really fucked me hard... i think you made me drunk on your cock baby" Buffy shyed away as she realised what she had said and her face reddened a deep crimson as Faith brought her in for a deep kiss and couln't help but realise Buffy was right, they really did taste great mixed together.

"Lay down baby, Buffy wants to get some loving before she collapses from your deep dickin! fuck me just lay down and give me that delicious pussy!" Buffy pushed her down and positioned herself perfectly as she let her tongue gain purchase and start licking Faith in all the ways she onew she liked.

"Ya know your magic dick is fun, but this is what i've been waiting for baby! my tight little Faiths fuck hole!" Buffy flicked her clit with her tongue in a storm of sexual ecstacy with made Faith grab onto the back of Buffys head and direct her as her fingers dug deep into her hair as the blonde woman began to drive her wild.

"I can magic you a dick too if you want! if you'd prefer to fuck me like that?..." faith was obviously nervous that Buffy would prefer the cock but she just flipped Faith the finger and contined moaning into and working passionately on Faiths pussy which filled her with alot of hope that she hadn't just fucked her girl back to straight.

The two girls were going at it like wild animals as they heard a knock on their door and realised it was probably Dawn by the way the noise was soft but managed to travel. "Shit, i think it's Dawn! fuck magic the room up and put your underwear on..." Buffy commanded as she magically opened the window open and dressed herself in seconds flat as Faith disengaged the noise cancelling spell and dressed herself simaltaneously before using magic to clean the bed and make it look and feel good as new and totally not covered in their sexual essence anymore.

Buffy nodded to Faith as she got back into bed on left side and motioned for Buffy to now answer the door and she unlocked the door and opened it to a pyjama wearing Dawn who looked at her sister awkwardly as she stood their in the dark hallway all alone.

"Hey Dawn, can't sleep?" Buffy asked nervously as she was scaded Dawn would realise what her sister had just been doing to her stone faced lesbian lover.

Dawn spoke softly "Umm... look, i know i'm probably interrupting... stuff... but can i sleep with you guys tonight!" Dawn asked whilst moving the hair out of her eyes and before Buffy could even respond or look at Faith for an answer the Brunette slayer was already out of bed and across the bedroom floor and bringing Dawn into the room as if some kind of motherly instinct had just kicked in.

"Of course little one, me and B were just getting ready for bed anyway" Faith gave Buffy an understanding look and she brushed off the fact that she really was looking forward to making her lover cum in her mouth again and yet just decided to let it go as both women had cum pretty hard and Buffy wasn't one hundred percent sure she could manage to walk properly for more than 20 seconds unless she maintained full concentration and focus.

"Thanks, it just feels weird here, i just couldn't sleep in my bed anymore, it felt strange... you know" Dawn spoke as if she hadn't been here in thisnhouse just a month ago and they both guessed that actually she probably hadn't been much more than five weeks old being a being of pure magical energy.

"We miss home too Dawnie, Sunnyhell aint exactly our idea of a good place to rest your head for the night" Faith only half joked as she sprung into bed and allowed Dawn to lay in the middle. Buffy closed and locked their door and cast a quick magical protection spell on her childhood room as she agreed with Faith completly that she did not trust Sunnydale in the slightest and she also really missed their desert home something fierce.

"It just feels weird being away from you both for too long, plus this dimension smells and tastes weird now, did you guys feel that way at dinner too? man i hope Faiths cheesecake tastes good in the morning" Dawn queried the last part with particular interest as she adored Faiths cooking more than any other.

Buffy slowly walked over to the bed and Faith couldn't help but feel a sense of pride well up from deep inside her as she realised how she had dominated and fucked her impossibly strong warrior lover into submission and make her scream things she had never said to anyone before, just her.

"You know we bofh feel the same way, That's why you're here, you can smell the candles Faith brought from home... i guess all three of us miss Al-Kufir a little too much it seems" Buffy had to hide a wince as she got into bed and Faith gave her a look and bit her lip so sensually that Buffy found herself blushing and having to hide it as they felt their unspoken emotions over what they had just enjoyed mix within the air betwixt themselves.

"Maybe we can slowly get over it, like with the sky and the light hurting our eyes... or we can just ewt with Ruby from now on cause there's no way she's eating the crap we have here" Dawn snuggled into Faiths arms and as she became the little spoon she pulled at Buffy to come closer and hold her also, she was almost like an infant wanting to feel the warmth of her parents bodies agajnst hers as if she wanted to bond with them more than she had a chance to before.

Buffy sighed softly and held Dawn also like Faith with a sense of motherly love and affection. "You can always come home with us on weekends anyway, apart from the big demons me and my beautiful girlfriend have this demon thing in the bag. literally we have demon locator spells, holy spells which can attract and purify most demons except the really big and bad ones... hell we can silence our movements and any sounds we make and conjure illusions at our leisure and thwt's all before we talk about our fighting skills and high powered weaponry".

Buffy told her Daughter/Sister with an air of pride she wasn't used to seeing from the small blonde warrior. Faith kissed the top of Dawns head tenderly and had a few words to say about Buffys statement herself. "Rubys gonna go over our game plan to pretty much eradicate most evil here in this dimension tommorow, especially since we got an idiot god and an even more powerful old one being revived later on. that's why you're going to train with us, not to fight with us but to be able to protect yourself when the time comes" Faith brushed the smaller brunettes hair and afterwards entwined said hand with Buffys.

"Well it is good i have the school holidays and a whole bunch of weeks to become like you both before having to return to school again, i just hope i can be of help... i wouldn't wanna get in your way" Dawn admitted as she yawned deeply and found herself starting to fall asleep and Both Slayers also felt as if they were about to drop at any second as their eyes became imoossibly heavy.

"@e love you Dawnie... sleep well ok" Buffy whispered as she snuggled into her pillow and Noticed Faith was already out cold and she followed suit and reaoised the only thing that mattered to her right now was getting some well earned shut eye. they had to plan for their future tommorow at mid day and maybe her old friends wohld also come and help but she didn't seem to hold out much hope for them anymore.

But Faith was right, she would try and control herself around them, tell them only the truth and be fully open and honest about them and to them. tommorow was a big day and although she didn't know it yet, it would also be a big day for a certain bleached blonde vampire idiot who would just happen to be in the right place at the wrong time.
