Feedback: Greatly appreciated. Disclaimer: Buffy and the gang belong to Joss Whedon, the WB, etc. Only the story is mine, and whatever characters never seen or mentioned on the show. Summary: Buffy and the gang get help from an unexpected source in restoring Angel's soul. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* - -Back in the warehouse - "Who is it?" Angelus questioned. "A girl who knows of us. She's helping the Slayer," Drusilla responded. "Wondeful!" Spike exclaimed sarcastically. "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it," Angelus assured him. "Oh? How pray tell do you intend to do that?" Spike inquired. "I'll come up with a plan. In fact I already have one." "Oh, please do tell." "Well if this girl is helping the Slayer I'll just force my beloved Buffy to tell me," Angelus confided. "Real great plan. Did you actually burn some brain cells thinking that one up. She's not stupid. You think she's just going to tell you?" Spike smirked. "I have my ways," Angelus sneered. "Your ways will spell trouble for us all," Spike informed. "You don't have to worry about anything," Angelus started. "I'll take care of the important stuff. You just sit in your chair and look pretty." "Go to hell," Spike gritted his teeth. "I'm already there my friend," Angelus chuckled. "She's going to change everything," Drusilla whined again. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Where's your parents?" Caitlin asked Buffy as she led her up to her room. "My mom and dad are divorced. My dad lives in L.A. and my mom's away on business. She owns an art gallery here, and she goes to New York often to buy art for it," Buffy explained. "Is it hard having your parents divorced?" Caitlin questioned. "Sometimes, but it's better that they're separated and on good terms with each other, than to be together and fighting all the time," Buffy answered. Caitlin nodded in agreement and glanced around Buffy's bedroom. "I know the room is kind of small, but I don't spend much time in here...well unless I get grounded which is pretty often. Never mind," Buffy smiled. "I can imagine," Caitlin smirked. "So," Buffy broke the awkward silence. "What did Angel tell you about me?" Buffy asked curiously. Caitlin laughed and leaned against the desk. "He couldn't stop talking about you." "Really?" "Yep. He went on and on about how beautiful and smart you are. He also said you were caring, to trusting for your own good, loving, passionate, stubborn, and strong. As I said he went on and on," Caitlin laughed again. "That makes me feel good," Buffy announced. "It should. He loves you very much," she reassured "Can we ever continue our relationship?" Buffy asked hopefully. "It's going to take some time. It's going to be hard for Angel, but with you there for him he'll get through this and be able to move on. He'll push us all away at first, but it's important that we stick with him. And remember love conquers all," Caitlin answered firmly. "I hope your right," Buffy whispered. Buffy went to her closet and took out a neatly folded sleeping bag then laid it out on the floor next to her bed. "This is all I have, unless you want the bed?" Buffy asked. "No this is perfect. Thank you for letting me stay." "No problem. Do you need pajamas?" "Nope." Caitlin gestured to herself and right before Buffy's eyes her clothing changed from the outfit she was wearing to green and blue stripped flannel pajamas. "Wow!" Buffy gasped. "I actually have to go and change. I need to get some magical powers." Caitlin smiled and shook her head when Buffy left the room to change. When she returned, Buffy handed Caitlin a pillow and got into bed. "Goodnight," Buffy said when she was settled. "Sweet dreams, Buffy," Caitlin wished. And then the light went out to leave the room aluminated with the glow from the moon. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* End part 5.......to be continued - - ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Mar 1998 10:37:44 +1000 From: 986092@keppel.yeppoon.shs.net.au (Mitchell Robertson) Subject: BUFFYFIC: New Member Hi I'm new to this mailing list and am like heaps confused. Are all the stories people write into the list like ones that have screened on tv or ones that are made up by members of the list. In Australia, Buffy has just been taken off, I think it just finished the fisrt season. Was the season finale the episode where Buffy is all bitchy and snobby, and the vampires try to reincarnate the Master, but Buffy smashes his bones.

Let's just STOP it. Cut it out completely. Young adult, old adult, mini-teen, whatever.

They are just inspired by the show. The episode you mentioned where Buffy was bitchy and the vamps under the Annointed One and Absalom try to resurrect the Master using his bones and the blood of the ones closest at the time of his death was the Second Season premiere called "When She Was Bad." Hope this helps. X-Lander - - ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Mar 1998 12:14:29 EST From: Aglx <Aglx@aol.com> Subject: BUFFYFIC: The Dark One (1/?) Title: The Dark One (1/?)

Disclaimer: Buffy and everyone belong to Joss, WB etc. Savarah and any other characters mention that are not a part of the TV-Show are mine. The language is nothing worse that we see on Buffy. There are a few mentions and indications of sex but nothing more. _____ Buffy entered the library with her head hanging low. She slowly moped over to a chair and sat down. She didn't need to speak, Giles and Willow could see her screaming, "Ask me what happened." "Buffy, are you okay? You look a little...upset," Giles finally brought up. "Snyder caught me trying to get off campus again. Soon, he's going to put a silver plaque at the desk where at sit in detention." Giles and Willow couldn't help but smile. "So, what are my slayage plans tonight?" "Well, patroling. But I shouldn't have to remind you of..." "Of Angel. Yeah, I know." "Dear, dear Angel, such a sweet little boy." A voice came from the doorway of the library. Everyone turned to look as Buffy jumped out of her seat up to meet girl. "Who the hell are you?" Buffy glared at the very attractive young girl standing before her. "I'm a friend." "Certainly not mine," Buffy at her with a harsh tone. The girl approached Buffy with a sly grin on her face. "Oh, Buffy, but you don't even know me yet. So quick to judge a person. You really must work on that." "Do you wanna tell me what you want before I knock you out cold?" Giles and Willow could only watch from afar. You could see the wheels turning in Giles head as he tried to ponder who was this strange girl who challenged the Slayer. "I don't want anything, Buffy. Not yet anyway. You know Buffy, you and I, we're the same. Well, kinda. See, your the Slayer, born with the strength and knowlege to fight and kill of vampires, deamons and ghools. Well, so am I, only, I was choosen to work for the other side. I fight and kill the good so that evil may rule. "Savarah!" Giles gasped as he fell into a chair. He'd heard that she existed but always hoped she wasn't real. "Good, good, I see we've been doing some reading. But then, when are you not." "Look, I don't care who you are, however knowing is all the more reason to kill you." Buffy continued to stare at Savarah with fire in her eyes. "Oh, but Slayer...you can't. I'm smarter, and stronger. You'll never kill me." Buffy threw three hard kicks to Savarah's stomach and then a hard backhand to her face as she tried to recover from the blows. Savarah took several steps back but showed no sign of pain. Buffy pulled a stake from her shirt sleeve and thrust it directly into Savarah's chest. The stake caused Savarah to stumble a few steps before pulling it out of her chest. Buffy looked to Giles for help but found nothing. When she returned her eyes' on Savarah, she saw the gaping wound repair itself in seconds. "A stake? Come on Buffy, I'm no vampire." Savarah smiled as she tossed the stake back to Buffy. "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I'm immortal. You can't kill me. Isn't that just the coolest?" "Immortality never stopped me from killing anyone before." "In due time, we'll find out my dear. Right now, I have some friends to visit. I do believe you know them. Angel, Spike and Drusilla are expecting me. It's been ages since I've seen dear old Angelus. I wonder if he's still as bad as he used to be? Oh well, I'll find out soon enough." Buffy's face faded from anger to fear and jelousy. As much as she hated the evil Angelus, she would always love Angel. Savarah disapeared out of the room. ============================================ "You know Dru, Spike's a big boy, he doesn't need your pity. You could be doing more important things...with me." A large grin came over Angel's face as he entered the wherehouse. Drusilla was sitting on Spike's lap cuddling close. "Angel, I do believe we were here first. Why don't you go somewhere else." "Don't mind him, Angel, he's just a little crabby as usual." Drusilla coyly stroked Spike's face with her fingers. "When is he not crabby?" A girls' voice came from the shadows of the room. "If I remember right, that's what made him so good at what he does." Savarah stepped out of the shadows and strolled over to the group who was standing by the large dining table. Angel's face lit up as he watched her come into the light. "Savarah!" "Angel," Savarah spoke fondly. "It's been way too long." She steped up to Angel and looked deep into his eyes. He wrapped his arms around her and then they kissed, passionately. A large smile came over Spike's face as he watched them kiss. He knew that with Savarah here, Angel would be too busy to even think about Dru. "Oh, get a room, you two! I know it's been a while, but please, there are others here." The two reluctantly broke away from their kiss but remained tight in eachother's arms. "Spike, that wheelchair, it's so not you. You really should get out of that thing. "I don't suppose you could help with that?" Spike spoke eagerly. "It's a possibility." Spike and Drusilla smiled with excitement. "So, I met this, Slayer...she's good, but I can't stand the attitude." "What are your plans for her, Savarah?" Drusilla asked still on Spike's lap. "Oh, I was thinking somewhere along the lines of a long painful death. How's that sound to you guys?" They all began to laugh hystarically. ============================================ "Who's Savarah?" Giles sat quietly still in shock from momments ago. "Giles, wake up, who is Savarah?!?" "Uh, what? Oh, yes, Savarah. She's well, uh, someone I never really knew existed. I only heard myths about her existance but, never in my life as a watcher did I think she'd..." He faded off into his worries. "Giles, that's not helping." "Well, she's a creature of the darkness and yet she's not a vampire or demon. She is 100% human and 100% evil. She's never lost a battle." "Hey guys!" Xander strolled into the library with Cordelia on his arm. Oz was following after them. After viewing the frightened look upon their faces Xander began to worry. "Hey, is everything okay?" "No...not at all okay. Things are not okay. Okay, is not what everything is right now." Willow sat impatientenly in her seat waiting for someone to comfort her. Oz rushed to her side. "Will, relax, everything will be just fine. That is as soon as someone tells me what will be just fine? Someone wanna fill me in here," Oz snapped. Buffy and Giles fill Xander, Oz and Cordelia in on what just happened. "Okay, so we have an immortal demon that wants to kill Buffy and has some sort of strong alliance with vampires." "Xander, you sure have a way of making things sound a whole lot worse." "Oh, sorry Buffy." "Giles, I need you to find anything you can on this girl. There has got to be a way to kill her." "Right." "We've got a lot of work to do, so lets get busy before this girl goes on a killing spree."

Buffy yelled, scared and frustrated. "If this girl is so powerful, then why can't we find one bit of information on her?" Giles looked briefly at Buffy and then held his head low. For the first time in his life as a watcher, he didn't know how fix this. Even with the Master, he was willing to offer himself, but this time, that wouldn't work. "Wait, I think I found something. Yes, I found it." Willow looked around the library trying to grab everyone's attention. Buffy rushed up behind Willow who was sitting at her laptop. "What? What'd you find?!?" Buffy couldn't control herself. The thought of her Savarah and her powers fueled her passion to kill her. "Whoh! She sure looks good for someone who's 1200 years old." "1200?" Buffy and Willow both leaned closer to the computer to examine the picture and facts next to it. "Yeah, I'd have to say she looks good." "In 794, she was transformed by a vampire known as Rockter. He was a big and as bad as the come. Months after she became a vampire, Rockter faced a slayer to the death. After hours of fighting, the element of exhaustion was factored in and he was killed. When Savarah found out about this, she avenged her sire's death by going after the slayer. Savarah killed the slayer in minutes." "Wait, she was a vampire? What about this "human" thing she was talking about?" "I'm getting there." Willow tried not to snap, but Buffy's enthusiasm towards killing Savarah was being to freak her out. "In her years, Savarah faced and killed 4 Slayers. Each one, she killed with ease. At the age of 600, Savarah encountered a man who called himself, 'The Dark One.' He made her a deal she couldn't resist. His time as 'The Dark One' was near its end and he wanted Savarah to take his place. Her strength and willpower was more than enough to prove that she was the only candidate for the job. She accepted and took over as 'The Dark One'. Her powers as a vampire were stripped and she took on an immortal human form. "'Dark One?' What the hell is that?" Buffy's voice trembled with fear. "The Devil." Giles quietly added in. "What?" Buffy gasped and stared at Giles, impatiently waiting for an answer. "'The Dark One' is not exactly the devil, but the name fits. It's the ruler of the darkness. Every vampire, demon, and creature of evil worships it. Vampires are the worst, they would kiss the ground she walked on if asked to do so." "I really don't see Angel as the ground-kissing type." "I'm afraid to say, but Angel is the worst of all." "Oh," Buffy spoke under her breath. She dropped her head as far as she could. ============================================ "Angel. You know this Slayer pretty well, huh?" "You could say that." The slightest bit of fear exposed itself in his voice. "Good. Then you can come with." "Where?" "We're going to pay our little Slayer a visit. When she faces me, I want it to be fun. And it won't be any fun if she isn't scared." "I do love the way you think," Angel spoke with a small grin on his face. "Among other things." Savarah smiled lightly back at him. "We'll be back in a while. You two hold down the fort while we're gone." "I think we can do that," Spike responded sarcastically. "Spike..." "Sorry." Angel was shocked. In his time knowing Spike, he had never seen him apologize to anyone but Dru. Angel and Savarah left the warehouse hand in hand. It was completely dark outside now. As they left, Drusilla fell into one of her visions. Spike rushed to her side as she collapsed into a chair. "Dru! What do you see?" "She knows. She knows everything. Something's going to go wrong. Someone will betray." "Dru, who?" "The Slayer." Drusilla went unconscious and fell off the chair. Spike caught her in his arms and pulled her onto his lap. He was worried, but not sure for whom. He wheeled the two of them off to the bedroom. To Be Continued - - ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Mar 1998 12:20:13 EST From: Aglx <Aglx@aol.com> Subject: BUFFYFIC: The Dark One (3/?)

Willow jumped in her seat as everyone gathered around the computer screen. "I found out how to kill Savarah." She pauses for a momment as she reads more. "Oh, oohh." "What is it?" Xander was too scared for Buffy's life to be patient. "Well, the only way to kill her is for her to be killed by those that worship her the most." "Vampires," Buffy gasped as she stepped away from the computer and walked to the counter. "So, I guess this time, it's for real. No Xander coming to breath life back into me." "Now, Buffy...don't jump to conclusions. We still haven't had..." "Spare me, Giles." Buffy couldn't control herself. "I've been there and done that. In case you hadn't noticed, we're not exactly good friends with any vampires." Giles was speechless. "Well, at least I know who will take my place this time. I doubt she was having much of a life anyway." Tears pooled up in Buffy's eyes as she slammed her fist into the counter top. Everyone jumped at the noise. Her friends couldn't stand to watch the Slayer cry but tried to hold their tears back for her sake. "Buffy! How you been?" A familiar voice bounded into the room. Buffy jumped at the sight of Angel and Savarah entering the Library. "What the hell are you doing here?" Buffy's voice was deep and full of fury. "Oh, I brought him along. I thought it might be nice for you two to meet again." "How did you get in here?" Giles questioned, fear was evident in his voice. "Well, I explained this to your former girlfriend. It really isn't that hard with such a inviting sign out front." "We just thought we'd come by and say, 'Hi!'. "How thoughtful of you," Buffy snapped. "I thought so." Angel dropped in hoping to get deep under Buffy's skin. "Why me? Why do you want to kill me?" "Kill? Well, that's an easy one. Your the Slayer. And I know I can take you." Buffy glared at Savarah and briefly took her eyes off her to keep an eye on Angel. "What makes you think that?" Buffy spoke challenging however knowing that she didn't stand a chance. "See your little friends over there. The Watcher, the bookworm, the reject, the snob, the wolf. I could kill them all right now with the snap of my finger." Savarah spoke braggingly, hoping to put all the fear she could into the slayer. Buffy was more scared than ever. Not just for her life, but for her friends. Now knowing of Savarah's powers, she felt trapped. The thought of offering her life to keep her friends alive crossed her mind several times. "We really should be going now. Like I said, we just wanted to say 'Hi'. "Sleep tight!" Angel growled as he left the room with Savarah on his arm.

There are a few mentions and indications of sex but nothing more. _____ Buffy stumbled back until she hit the counter. She had tried to hold back, but couldn't. Tears rushed down her cheeks and she sank to the floor. Giles rushed to her side and wrapped his arms around her. Buffy was too upset and scared to notice that he had never shown this side of himself before. The rest of the group could only watch for a lack of words kept them at bay. "Buffy, I want you to know, I am not going to let you die from this." Giles' voice was carried with great assurance. "But Giles," Buffy cried to him as she notices his jacket was covered in her tears. "But nothing. You are too important to me. We will find a way." ====================================== "Spike, what would you say to the concept of, 'walking?'" "I'd say, yes and who do I have to kill?" Savarah was amused at his enthusiasm to get out of that dreaded chair. "Angel, dearest, will you come over here for a second." "Yeah, what is it?" "We're going to get Spike to walk again. That chair is getting on my nerves." "Your nerves? You haven't had to sit in it all this time," Spike chuckled. "Help him up. We need him standing." Angel and Drusilla both grabbed an arm and lifted him out of his chair with ease. "Now what do we do with him?" Angel asked annoyed that Spike would be walking. "Shhh," Savarah said as she placed a hand up in front of Spike's face. "Now if I do this. You owe me." "If you do this, I will be forever at your debt." "You know those wheelchair jokes are going to be hard to top." Angel had to throw in a last attempt to annoy Spike before his legs were restored to their former strength. "Poteri scuri. Mi arricchisca col potere." A light wind filled the warehouse. Savarah snapped her fingers and then indicated for Angel and Drusilla to place Spike down on his feet. After Drusilla's hand finally slipped away from his arm, Spike rose his head revealing an enormous grin. "I'm hungry. Let's go out to eat," Spike said. Drusilla laughed as Spike picked her off the ground and danced about the warehouse with her in his arms. Angel rolled his eyes but then focused on Savarah. She didn't need to hear the words to know that Angel was hungry as well. He led her out of the warehouse. "That was Italian, wasn't it," Angel added as the walked out. "Yeah, I was getting so tired of Latin." Minutes passed and then Spike and Dru followed after them. ====================================== Buffy strolled through the darkness in the night. She walked with great caution, even more than usual. As she walked pass the graveyard, she decided to make a pass through. It was unusually quiet and that made her worry all the more. A soft rustling was heard behind her. She jumped to face her accouter. "Spike?" Spike rolled out of the shadows into the light of the moon. "I want to talk to you, Slayer." "Talk? You want to talk with me?" "Was I not clear?" "What about?" Buffy cautiously scanned the surrounding areas presuming a trap was being set and Spike was the bait. "You know you're not very threatening in that chair." Buffy mentioned trying to spring the trap. "Oh really. I can fix that." Spike lifted himself out of the chair being sure to keep eye contact with Buffy. He wanted to make sure he saw her expression. "You can walk!" "Threatening now?" Spike was taking no chances of getting hurt this time. Buffy was frightened and shocked. She took another look around to make sure. "You have nothing to worry about. I came alone." "Oh yeah, I trust you." Buffy's tone was clearly sarcastic. "Have I ever lied to you before?" "Come to think of it, yeah, you have." "I'm not perfect," Spike grinned. "So, are you going to talk?" Buffy was growing impatient. Buffy had a stake ready in her hand. She knew it made Spike uncomfortable. "I want to make a deal with you. It has to do with Savarah." Buffy's face was suddenly covered in fear. "She wants to fight a fair fight against you. You see, if you win, she would restore Angel's soul. If you loose, you die. Simple as that. "Except for the Angel card, what else is new?" Buffy cocked an eyebrow and waited for Spike's response. "Well, that's the fun part. Her 'super powers' as 'The Dark One' would not exist. She would still be as strong and as smart as she was when she was a vampire. Basically that's who'd you be fighting. Of course, she won't be killed really, but if you manage to kill her in a fight, you will get your Angel back. Which, in my book is a good thing." "He's really getting on your nerves, huh?" Buffy smiled slightly knowing how painful Angel's evil side really could be. "You might say that." Spike tried to avoid the subject. "I'll do it. As long as her word stays true, I'll do it. But if she or anyone tries to pull anything...it's over. Is that clear?" Spike only nodded as he walked away leaving the chair behind. Buffy remained where she stood for several minutes. The shock of Spike being capable of walking was more than enough, but 'The Dark One' making a deal with her? It was too much to comprehend. Buffy finally walked off heading towards the library. Boy did she have a story to tell Giles. End Part 4 To Be Continued Part 5 coming soon.

So many thoughts flowed through her head. Thoughts about her, Angel, Xander, Cordelia, Willow, and Oz. Willow and Oz and Xander and Cordelia are soo happy together, Buffy thought, just like Angel and I used to be....before..... Tears flooded her eyes. She loved Angel soo much and the thought of what she had done to him tore her to pieces. She had loved him soo much and her carelessness had caused him to become the demon that he was 80 years ago before the Gypsy curse had been put on him. Even though Giles and everyone else tried to convince her that this wasn't her fault she still had a hard time excepting that fact. The only other thing that bothered her was that whenever she and Angelus had a confrontation he always managed to bring up the fact the Angel would still be around if she had just been able to say no. Buffy knew that until she realized that this wasn't her fault there was absolutly no way that she was going to be able to fight Angelus and kill him. She didn't think that she would ever be able to kill him. He was her one true love. No matter what happened. She didn't care if she only got to see him at night, or that he was a vampire. She didn't even care about him being stealth guy with all the cryptic messages. All she wanted was her Angel back and she would do ANYTHING to get him back. - - ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Mar 1998 18:34:13 EST From: LnCAGCRulz <LnCAGCRulz@aol.com> Subject: BUFFYFIC: Remembering the Memories (0/?) Please forgive me. I know I was going to post more before my trip... Sorry!! That time passed too quickly, and then our flight was cancled so we didn't fly back until a day later and then I had a lot of work to catch up on and then and then and then... Still, it's no excuse, and I'm sorry. I'm going to post from the begining as not to leave anyone in the dark. Expect a lot as the evening progresses. And even more tomorrow. I promise. :) (Yeah, I said that last time, too. I know...) So, here ya' go. You'll notice that I've changed the title to simply "Remembering the Memories." "Memoria Tenere Memorium" (as I know it wasn't, but correctly shoulda' been...) was entirely too complicated. So we'll just go with the time honored English. :) Any questions or comments, good or bad, should be sent to me.

A man, appearing to be in his mid-twenties stood outside the still closed door. He sighed and closed his deep brown eyes, mumbling some insecurity to himself. When he opened his eyes he faced a young woman. Her eyes seemed to have seen more than they should have in their 30 years. The eyes of the blond girl squinted, as she were attempting to put a memory with this face. The realization hit her suddenly. ôHi.ö She was spellbound. He was dead. She knew he was dead. She hadnÆt just heard it was so û she had done it with her own two hands. She had killed this man. ôYouÆre dead.ö What was she supposed to say at a time like this? It isnÆt every day that one is confronted with their formal lover-turned rival. Their dead one, at that. ôI mean, youÆreà I killed you!ö ôYou did.ö ôWhich would make you deadàö ôWell, it depends what you mean by that. May I come in? I need a chance to explain.ö He wasnÆt sure how he was going to do this. It had been so long. Thirteen years, he reminded himself. Fourteen in a month. The longest thirteen years of his 251 year life. Too long. ôUmà I guess. Do Iàö ôNo, you donÆt have to formally invite me.ö Just as he begun to take his first step through her threshold, she stopped him. ôWait! Who are youà honestly.ö ôAngel.ö - -Teaser End- - - ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 Mar 1998 10:44:24 +1100 From: Andrew Oswell <andrewo@netlink.com.au> Subject: BUFFYFIC: Re: Buffyfic-digest V2 #76 unsubscribe buffyfic-digest Kerry Von Erich irc.starchat.net You have been hit with the Discus Punch ! :) - - ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Mar 1998 18:45:27 EST From: LnCAGCRulz <LnCAGCRulz@aol.com> Subject: BUFFYFIC: Remembering the Memories (1/?)

Part I She glared at him much harder than he would have liked. She still had the ability to scare someone to death. ôWhich one?ö ôThe good one. The one with the soul.ö Her look was that as a skeptic, but after a moment of deep consideration she stepped away from the door to let him in. As he entered she carefully closed the door behind him. Angel knew he should be saying something, anything, but he just had to look around. The apartment was small, but not stifling. Immediately after walking in he encountered a small living area, complete with a sofa, chair, and small TV. A stereo sat on a nearby shelf along with books û some new, others very old. Past the wall with the shelves was a short hall with two doors. One appeared to lead into a bedroom, the other a bathroom. On the other side of the apartment was a quaint kitchen. ôItÆs nice.ö ôItÆs not much, but itÆs home,ö she responded quietly. Her nervousness was obvious not only through her tone of voice but also through her lack of eye contact. ôUm, have a seat. Sit wherever you want. Treat it as a second home.ö The statement had just slipped out, but in the situation it reminded both the guest and the host of the time they both believed that they would live together. Her house would not have to be his second home. It would have been his only homeà ôThanks.ö He sat in one of the chairs in a place where he knew heÆd be able to look out the window if worse came to worse. ôOhà IÆm sorryà It must be time for dinner for you.ö As if on cue, a beeping noise came from the kitchen area. ôI can goà come back later, if youÆd likeàö ôNO! I mean, donÆt go. ItÆs fine. Just something I heated up. I donÆt have to eat. Or you could have something. You, uhàö ôI could, but I donÆt need anything . You should eat, though.ö He couldnÆt help but notice her exceptionally thin frame. She had always small, but not like this. ôIÆll waitàö She sat in the other chair, situated across the room from the other. ôSoà what are you doing here?ö ôVisiting.ö It was obvious she needed more. ôI can explain everything if youÆll give me the chance.ö ôWell, the chance is here for the taking. YouÆve got a lot of æsplainÆin to do.ö She smiled a small, shy smile. That of a schoolgirl to her crush. A smile that he remembered fondly. A smile he returned. ôYeah, I guess I do.ö - - ------------------------------ End of Buffyfic-digest V2 #77 ***************************** To subscribe to buffyfic or buffyfic-digest, send the command subscribe buffyfic-digest or subscribe buffyfic to majordomo@xmission.com.
