Chapter 15
“Oh yeah. Back to L.A.  Me and B killed Kakistos together, right B?” Faith is grinning wide now, enjoying Buffy’s discomfort.
“ Hey, Faith” Buffy’s tone is flat.
Buffy walks down the stairs slowly. It's very clear that she is so not wanting to be here right not. A hell dimension is looking real good to her right now.
“Buffy, why didn’t you mention meeting Faith to me when you got back?” Giles queried Buffy, a little put out.
” I do remember you talking about a Faith you met in L.A, Dear” Joyce chimes in, “ But you never said she was a slayer. How nice for you, dear. Now you have someone you can patrol with”
“Buffy, you must have realized how important this is” Giles continues, “ I can’t understand why you would keep this a secret …” Giles is interrupted by Faith.
“Well, B n me had a little falling out in L.A. Giles. So maybe she didn’t want to think about it” Faith covers
“ I would still like an explanation” Giles looks at Buffy.
“ Ummm…well…uhhh” Buffy stammers, trying to think of something. She sees Faith watching her, with a cocked eyebrow.
Buffy figures best defense is run like hell.
“ I gotta go patrol. We can talk later. I'm already late” Buffy starts to head for the door
“ I’ll come with” Faith cheerfully adds
Buffy turns back, and gives Faith a look. Daggers are not as sharp as her look.
“ No, Faith, you stay. Get settled in” Her tone is flat, with an edge.
“ Aw, c’mon B. Just like old times,” Faith is smirking a little, but catches the look.
“ No. stay. Faith” Buffy has her don’t screw with me tone
“Buffy, I think it's a good idea if you take Faith with you. She is new here, be good for her to get familiar with the area” Giles is using a firm tone. He is still a bit angry Buffy didn’t tell him about Faith.
“ I agree, Dear. I think it's a great idea” Joyce adds, giving Faith a little wink. Faith smiles.
“ Oh, and another thing, Buffy. I think we need to have a little talk about this” Giles adds.
Buffy is backed to the wall, but can see no escape. She looks like she just swallowed bile.
“Fine. C’mon if you are comin’.” Buffy huffs out before anyone can stop her.
The other three look at each other. Faith just kinda grins, shrugs her shoulders, and follows Buffy out.
Buffy is striding forward quickly. She is looking neither left nor right, and definitely not behind her. She hears Faith calling after her, but she just ignores it.
“ B. … Hey, B. … Wait up” Faith calls out. She breaks into a trot, and finally catches up to the blonde slayer.
“ Hey, B. C’mon, talk to me, B.” Faith says. She trots in front of the slayer, trotting backwards. “ Aw, B., you gotta talk to me sometime.”
Buffy’s eyes are greenish-blue… her slayer eyes. Her mouth is a hard line. She barks at Faith” Wanna bet?”  and then changes direction to leave faith behind.
Faith changes direction to follow Buffy. “ Dammit, B. c’mon. Wait up” But Buffy just keeps going.
The patrol is mostly quiet… and that doesn’t mean that there were no vampires. The two women didn’t speak a word to each other unless absolutely necessary. Mostly it was Faith playing catch-up with Buffy.
They finally came over a rise, and spotted a group of vamps stalking a potential target. Without a word, Buffy threw Faith a stake. Faith caught it without even looking. They split up and circled the vamps.
“ Don’t you boys know it isn’t safe to walk around the cemetery at night? You never know what you will run into” Buffy mocks the vamps.
“ Hey B”
“Yeah?”
“Looks like they are having a party, and didn’t invite us”
“Guess we’ll have to crash it then, huh?”
With that, the two slayers take on the vamps.
Even not speaking to each other, angry at each other, the two slayers are in sync. It's almost eerie to watch. Faith kicks a vamp in the chest, who goes flying. He lands at Buffy’s feet. She casually stakes him as he attempts to rise. Another comes at her, who she shoulder tosses on to his back, and quickly stakes him . Faith sweep kicks one vamp, and he is down. She brings down her stake, and he is Hoover ready. Another, behind her, tries to grab her. Faith sidesteps him, kicks him in the butt, and he flies directly into Buffy’s outstretched stake. The other two, seeing the carnage take off quickly.
Faith gives Buffy a smile and a thumbs up. Buffy just nods, and turns to leave.
Faith has had enough
“Buffy, STOP!!!”
Buffy halts. She is standing rigid, her fists clenched. She has her back to Faith
“Buffy, talk to me. You gotta talk to me” Faith demands.
Buffy slowly turns, and her face is … lets say I wouldn’t want to be Faith right now
“ Like you talked to me?” She sneers. “ I thought you liked the silent treatment. You were so good at it.”
“B, that’s not fair” Faith protests.” And we talked after”
“Not fair?” Buffy’s voice is steel. “ Not FAIR? How about lying to me , Faith? Was that fair? Cause that is what you did. You didn’t talk to me, you lied to me! Made me think we’re gonna move up here, and work this out. And then, what do you do? You dump me on my mom’s front porch, and take off. Not a word, not a goodbye, not a fuck you, Buffy. Just take off. So, don’t come at me with not fair!”
Faith is pissed. “ Are we gonna talk about lying? How about you and those letters? How about you and Angel. What was that? Looks like lying to me”
“That’s different!” Buffy is defensive.
“ How is that different?” Faith aint buying it.
“ I was trying to protect you. So you wouldn’t get hurt. I was trying to figure it all out.”
“ How about , we share things. Troubles. That’s what couples do, right? But did you share this? Hell, no. You just hide it away, hoping I won’t notice. Well, clue time, B. Didn’t work. It hurt. It hurt lots!”
“So, you decided to “hurt back” then? That it? Lie to me, tell me you are reaching out, we’re gonna work this out, then dump me. Well…you’ll be happy to know, it worked. It hurt loads, too!”
Faith, quieter “What about that last night before Sunnydale. Didn’t that tell you anything?”
“ How the hell would I know? What was that? A Good Bye Fuck? A …It’s been swell but I'm dumping you Fuck?”
“ I didn’t start that” Faith’s tone, still quiet, but getting an edge. “ You started it. Doing all that stuff. Lucky we made it back to the fucking campground, I was so horny. What was that about, anyway?”
Buffy, quieter “ You were so tense, so upset looking. I wanted to make you feel better”
Faith, losing it “ So, it was a Pity fuck?  A Poor faith, I'm gonna dump you fuck, so one last time fuck?”
Buffy getting an edge back in her voice, “ So we’re back to that? You dump me before I dump you? How mature, Faith. Really mature!”
“ I wrote you a goddamn letter. Didn’t you read it? You CAN read, right?”
“Oh, yeah. I read it. Months after the fact. After I had been tearing my heart out over you. The letter.” Buffy gets sarcastic, “The Noble Faith, giving it all up so “ I could be free to make a decision”; how much you loved me. Blah, blah , blah. Load of crap is what it was.”
Faith, quietly. “ I meant every word I wrote.”
Buffy ignores her, and plows on, “ Then you put that money in there. Made me feel like some cheap bimbo. God, what were you thinking, anyway? Only thing I saw was either you didn’t give a crap, or you were scared. So…”
Buffy moves right up into Faith’s face “… which was it, Faith? Didn’t you care? Or were you scared? WHICH?”
Faith yells at her “ SCARED!!!” then she growls at her “Of how much I fucking love you”
Before Buffy can react, Faith pulls her close and kisses her hard. She then pushes her away, and turns to storm off.
“ No , you don’t” Buffy Growls “ NO you DON’T GODDAMN YOU” She flies at faith, and punches her in the back.
Faith turns around, startled. Her eyes are wide. She narrows her eyes, and smirks at Buffy.
“ Is that it, B? Wanna fight? C’mon, B.” Faith sneers.” Lets go. Lets do it!” Faith starts to push Buffy.
Buffy grabs Faith’s arm, and flips her over her shoulder. Faith lands on her butt.
“Nice one B. How about this?” Faith does a leg sweep, and Buffy lands on her back. Faith straddles her, and starts slapping her. She doesn’t want to hurt her, just piss her off. Buffy brings her legs up together, forcing Faith to fly over her head and face first into the grass.
Both slayers spring to their feet. They start circling each other. Finally they start in earnest. But each is so synced, can feel what the other is going to do , that the majority of punches and kicks are blocked. It's more like watching a dance than a fight. Finally, by fluke, Buffy lands a punch on Faith’s face, slightly cutting her lip. It starts to bleed.
“ Nice shot, B. Didn’t see that coming” Faith rubs her mouth.
Buffy approaches her.” Faith, I’m sorry , I …” But Faith sweep kicks her, landing her on her butt.
“ Like you didn’t see that comin’” Faith walks off, and sits down, turned away from Buffy.
Buffy gets up, and approaches her. “ Faith, I….” But Faith cuts her off
“ Fuck off, B. Just leave me alone” Faith growls at her
Buffy retreats. She feels her frustration rising again
“Fine, I’ll leave you alone. But I wasn’t the one who ran away. I wasn’t the one who came back. Worming their way into my house. That was you. Why didn’t you just stay gone, Faith? WHY? WHY DIDN’T YOU?” Buffy screams at her, turns and runs off.
Faith starts to get up to run after her, then sits back down.
Damn
She gets up, to walk back to the Summer’s house. But her anger is still hot inside her. She wants to kick something. She sees a grave marker, and goes and kicks it over. But she hurts her foot doing it.
Damn , damn , damn.
Tired, discouraged, and more than a little sore, Faith limps her way back to the summer’s house.
