************************************
Part 1
"Angel?" Xander stopped in his tracks and stared into the murky shadow of a large mausoleum. "Is
that you?"
"Yeah, it's me...hi." Stepping out from behind the marble wall, the vampire came out into the dim glow of a streetlight.
"Hi," Xander replied. "How've you been?"
Angel shrugged. "So-so. Business is good. Lot's of bad guys in L.A."
"So I've heard." Xander glanced around the dark cemetery nervously. "How come you're here?"
'Um..well, I was actually on my way back from...some-where else, so I...just thought I'd pass through." He averted his eyes and tried to sound only mildly interested. "How's....everybody?"
Xander had to force himself to keep a straight face.
"How's everybody? Everybody is fine. In fact, Everybody is completely recovered from their trip to the other side and back." He jammed his hands into the pockets of his trousers and began walking slowly along the concrete path that cut through the middle of the graveyard, hoping that Angel would not linger behind.
"Everybody," he added, "hasn't gone back to school yet, but Everybody isn't sure that's what they want to do. Everybody was having financial problems for a while, but that's all fixed up now that everybody is getting a regular paycheck from the Watchers Council. Oh, and Everybody...."
"All right, all right," Angel cut him off. "I understand what you're saying." He shook his head and smiled a bit sadly. "Guess I'm pretty obvious."
It was Xander's turn to shrug. "Only in the way that an elephant doing the tango in your living room is obvious."
They walked along in silence for a moment, then Angel turned to face Xander. "So...she's really okay? She's happy?"
Xander nodded. "Yeah, she's really okay. And she's happier than she's been in a long time." He took a deep breath wondering if he should be the one to tell Angel the reason behind Buffy's newfound happiness.
Granted, he'd never liked Angel one damn bit, and he wouldn't have hesitated at one time to deliver the news with a side of relish, but things had changed so much over the past year or so. Basically, they had all been forced to grow up almost overnight, and he found that he really had no taste for childish "nyah-nyah" games anymore.
"Look," he began, "I think you should know...."
He stopped in mid-sentence, hearing a sound that was very familiar to them both...punches being thrown and landed.
They looked at each other for a moment, then both turned and walked around the back of the maintenance shed, looking for the source of the fight.
On the other side of the small building, they stopped short. In a small clearing a few dozen yards away, the slayer was doing battle with a vampire, one they both recognized.
"You're getting slow in your old age, luv," Spike taunted. "Time to think about retiring."
"Don't count on it, fang-face," Buffy sneered. "On your BEST day, you couldn't take me on my WORST." She punctuated her remark with a spinning back kick into her opponents abdomen.
Angel muttered something and started to go the slayer's aid, but Xander caught his arm. "No. It's not what you think."
The vampire jerked his arm away. "Let go of me" he snapped. "I have to help..."
"HEY!!" Buffy's voice rose up the scale, and they turned to see her literally flying through the air, then land in a graceless heap up against a headstone.
Spike followed at a casual pace, grinning as she struggled to stand. "Now THAT looked like it hurt!"
Buffy straightened up and shook her hair out of her eyes. "Only in a good way." She was breathing hard and staring him down as he slowly approached her.
Xander felt Angel tensing, and took a firmer grip on his arm. "Look," he hissed. 'You're gonna have to trust me on this. It's NOT what it looks like."
Angel shook his head angrily. "I thought he couldn't do this anymore. Couldn't hurt people. What the hell happened?" he asked, not taking his eyes off the two combatants.
Xander sighed. "He can't. It's hard to explain, but when she..died..and came back, she was different. Spike was the first one to figure it out."
"But...I was told he was helping her...working with you guys."
"He does." Xander dragged Angel a little further back into the shadows. "Look...they're not really fighting. Not like they used to."
Angel craned his neck, trying to keep Buffy in sight. "I've been around for a few hundred years," he said curtly. "I know what fighting looks like."
"You do, huh?" Xander spun him around suddenly. "Does it look anything like THAT?"
Angel completely lost the power of speech when he saw what Buffy and Spike were now doing.
The slayers arms were wrapped tightly around the vampire's neck, and his were locked around her
waist as he lifted her a few inches off the ground.
Their mouths were seemingly glued together.
"She...they...how...?" Angel turned back to Xander, looking horrified and confused.
Xander rolled his eyes. "I don't know...it's like some kind of weird foreplay for them. Every once
in a while they beat the crap out of each other and then...do THAT," he said, pointing at the couple.
They were talking too quietly for Xander to hear them, but Angel's superior hearing picked up every
word.
"Not a bad workout, gorgeous," Spike said, nuzzling Buffy's hair. "Didn't wear you out, did I?"
Buffy giggled. "Not yet...but if you want to go home, I'll give you another chance."
He maneuvered her up against a tree. "I don't know if I can wait that long."
She tugged him down for another kiss. "Well...it's been a while since we made love outside, hasn't it?"
"Mm-hmm...and you smell so good, kitten," Spike murmured. "Like strawberries and cream. I want to have you for dinner."
He was kissing and nipping at her neck, and Angel watched in horror as she tilted her head to one side, completely exposing her vulnerable throat.
Buffy squealed and started laughing. "That tickles...don't! God...you're such an animal...I love it!"
Angel turned away. "This is unbelievable."
"Tell me about it," Xander said. "Sometimes, they're absolutely sickening."
Leaning against the maintenance building, Angel's head dropped back with a thump and he smiled bitterly. "You know...I left so that she would have a chance at a normal life with a normal guy. Some
one with a pulse."
Xander stared at the ground, kicking a rock around with his shoe. "She tried that," he said. "It didn't
take. She doesn't seem to want a normal guy. It's just not in her nature." He shook his head. "I don't
know..maybe she needs more of a challenge."
"Yeah...but why HIM?" Angel asked.
"I guess," Xander said slowly. "it's because he gives her what she needs. They can have a complete relationship without worrying about him...."
"Doing what I did," Angel finished.
Xander nodded. "Yeah, doing what you did." Looking up, he met Angel's eyes. "Look..it took me awhile to accept it, too. I was absolutely sure that he'd find a way around that chip and turn on her."
"How do you know that he...." Angel's voice trailed off when Xander shook his head.
"He won't," Xander said firmly. "He loves her. I mean really, truly loves her. And he takes good care of her. She never goes out alone anymore. He goes with her every night."
"When did things change?" Angel asked, rubbing his temples as though he had a colossal migraine. "She always hated him."
"Yeah, well...he was the first one to change," Xander said. "He loved her first, I mean." He smiled. "He told me once that he went to sleep one night hating her guts and woke up in love with her."
"Just like that?"
Xander nodded. "Just like that. Of course, she still hated him. Didn't want anything to do with him, but my GOD, is he tenacious! You know, he once offered to stake Drusilla to prove that he loved Buffy."
"Are..are you serious?" Angel asked in disbelief. "Drusilla...well, she was..."
"Yeah. Was." Xander chuckled. "Anyway...he kept after Buffy, started helping her. To make a long..WEIRD..story short, he threw in with her completely during that mess with Glory. Oh, and you'll love this...Glory thought that Spike was her key. Actually," he amended. "her little bridge trolls thought he was, so they grabbed him and they took him to her. She tortured him for hours to get him
to tell her who it really was."
"Dawn."
"Yeah. God, I've never seen ANYBODY so totally beaten up, and I went to high school with some real professional bullies. It almost hurt just to look at him." Xander took a deep breath. "Soooo..we all figured that he'd give Dawn up in a heartbeat."
"But he didn't."
"Didn't say a word. Got beaten half to death, but he wouldn't talk. When he got away, Buffy sort of tested him by pretending to be the Buffybot..."
"The WHAT??"
"Don't ask. Anyway...he passed the test and signed on to play for our team." Xander swallowed hard at a painful memory. "When she died..he was just about out of his mind. For a while, I thought he was gonna die right along with her. Stake himself or just...die of grief."
Angel looked away. "I know how he felt," he said quietly.
"So, she came back," Xander continued. "And...well, you saw it for yourself."
"I wish I hadn't."
Xander hesitated a moment. "Don't worry about her, Angel. She'll be fine. Spike would kill himself before he would hurt her. He's proved it."
"I hope you're right," Angel said. "I just..."
He was interrupted by a soft scream from Buffy, and turned automatically, wanting to go to her.
Xander grabbed his coat. "You don't want to see it. Trust me."
Angel stopped. "You're right. I don't." He turned back to Xander. "I'm gonna go now, before my head
explodes."
"Good plan."
They left the cemetery together in silence, pausing when they were outside the front gate.
"Hey," Angel said. "Will you call me if...?"
"I guess so," Xander smiled ruefully. "But it's not gonna happen."
Angel hesitated, doubt still in his eyes. "I hope it doesn't...for her sake."
"And maybe for YOUR sake, too," Xander said under his breath as Angel walked off.
He stood and watched until Angel disappeared around the corner, then turned and headed for home.
~~~~~
Back in the middle of the cemetery, the vampire and slayer were still kissing feverishly. Spike moved Buffy closer to a mausoleum, and pushed her up against the cold marble, never losing contact with the soft lips parted beneath his.
Buffy moaned as she felt him trail moist kisses across her face and down her throat, tonguing the
shallow hollow at it's base. She cupped his face in her hands and guided his mouth back to hers.
"I love you," she whispered, watching his face as he closed his eyes, savoring the words he'd once
despaired of every hearing.
"I love you, too," he said in her ear. "So much." Tangling his fingers in her hair, he gazed into her eyes. "You're my world, you know. All wrapped up in one tiny little package."
Tilting her face up, he covered it with teasing kisses.
"Know what?" she said, pulling back. "Let's go home. I want us to be in bed so that we can take our time."
"Best offer I've had all day," he replied, grinning lecherously.
Her eyes sparkled devilishly. "Race ya," she said. Backing a few feet away, she turned on one heel and took off.
"Watch where you're going!" he shouted, running after her, following the music of her laughter.
