Sins of an Angel: Part 14
by Starry Night
Disclaimer: The great, wonderful, superb, characters of Buffy The Vampire Slayer belong to the WB, Mutant Enemy, and the magnificent Joss Wheadon. All other characters and situations in this story are yours for the taking. Personally, I don’t care since I’m doing the same thing. Beg, borrow, and steal . . . Just don’t get ‘um too dirty. Thanx!

This takes place after Killed by Death. I have finally admitted to Surprise and Innocence. I’m writing this story after some of the comments that were exchanged on the past two or three shows.

PS: Denotes inner thoughts.

Part Fourteen

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Buffy awoke to the bright sunlight filtering through her hospital room. Hovering around her were the slayerettes and her watcher.

“Welcome back to the land of the living. Finally,” Cordellia said, filling her nails in the corner of the room. Buffy tried to smile.

“Good. Good.” Giles said smiling. Willow walked over to her and gave Buffy a big hug.

“Emily Warner’s safe at home, Buffy,” Willow said. “Her family’s thanking who ever saved their daughter publicly later this week. You gonna be there?” Buffy shook her head, looking at the smiling face of Emily Warner and her family on the front of the news paper in Gile’s hand.

“No, I don’t think so”

After the others left, Xander lingered behind watching Buffy.

“Angels dead,” He said. “He burned in the fire.”

Xander waited for Buffy to respond. She didn’t say anything immediately.

“Are you sad?” Xander asked, struggling to understand Buffy. Buffy shook her head again.

“No.”

“Then what’s wrong?” Xander asked.

“I want you to kiss me,” Buffy whispered. Xander smiled as he got up and crossed the room to her. He pulled a chair up beside her and grabbed Buffy’s hand. Bending down, Xander planted a tentative kiss on Buffy’s lips. She eagerly returned it. Together they deepened the kiss until they were locked together. Finally the broke apart.

Xander ran his hand along Buffy’s knuckles, stopping at her cladagh ring. Wordlessly, she slipped it off of Buffy’s hand. He dropped it silently into one of the hospital drawers. Buffy reached her arm up to pull him into another kiss.

Deep in the sewers, Angel growled. Clutching his shoulder, he crawled along the ground screaming.
