Part Seven

Seth rubbed his chin anxiously, feeling the rough edges of his goatee on his fingertips. Casually pacing back and forth, his demeanor worried the slayer and her two perveted allies with great deal.
"Um, walking, talking corpse guy? what're you doing, man?" Xander passively asked.
Seth stopped in his tracks, taking note of the inquisitve boy's state of boredom. Angel, on the other hand, smirked. The vampire's eyes passed along the room, trying to zone on anything intresting at all. Angel was losing his patience, being tied back to back with Buffy's annoying horny friend was not fun at all.
Seth noticed the displeasure in Angel's face, and walked towards the two males.
"I'm waiting buddy-boy for the big surprise. And trust me, it will be a doozy." Seth grinned, his pearly whites exposed dangerously.
Xander narrowed one eye, his face now overcome with questionable intentions.
"So you mean this is like a Hidden camera show? Cool!" He smiled happily into an imaginary camera lens. Seth shook his head at the boy's sheer stupidity.
Buffy stared at all three "boys","You know when I get out of this, I'm going to beat the hell out of you."
Angel and Xander laughed. Xander stopped giggling to mutter," Yeah, Seth-a-roonie, you're toast!"
"I didn't say Seth was the only one." Buffy's brow seeped over her eyelids.
Xander began to sweat, while Angel recited prayers in his head. Seth slowly approached the slayer, kneeling besides her waist. "You know, it really sucks that you're going to die. I may be the one who does it too.
Buffy rolled her eyes.
'Villian with a conscience routine.. . muckety-muck. ' The thought roamed in her mind.
"So," Seth continued "Want me to do something before you.." with that Seth trembled.
The parasidic shook uncontrollably, Buffy looked on in confusion.
'I hope this isn't him trying to get it on with me. ' she thought.
"Hey Buffy, I think he's already done! Ha!" Angel shouted.
Seth staggered, collapsing at a nearby wall. The force of his fall caused dust to rise from the ground, and paintchips from the ceiling to fall. Seth's eyesockets began to flood with white ooze, the substance spilled all over the floor. Writhing in pain, Seth's host body began to stiffen.
"Hey look, he's doing a scene from shakespeare! Go, Polonius!" Xander shouted.
Angel and Buffy looked on at the shaking villian apprehensively.
"I need nutrients," the words erratically spat out, amid a sea of liquid flooding from his lips "I need someone's nutrients". His face dragged along the concrete, his pores beginning to rapidy leak. "Without it, this body will deteriorate, and fall apart."
Buffy, eyed suspicously,"And what happens to you?"
"You silly twit, you think I'd tell you how I'd die?" Seth wiped his drenched mouth quickly, while holding his weight with the other forearm. "Oh shi-!" Seth muttered.
"You just gave yourself away Mr. puke face!" Buffy slowly eased her heels under her hips, with her feet pushing her weight aggresively on the ground. The bolts successfully popped out of the contrapment that held her down, her waist raised freely. She rested her elbows under her, thrusting towards the ground, the force pushed her whole body up.
Seth blinked his milky eyelids, passing his left palm across them to dry them off. "Damn" he muttered. He raised himself up,"Kid you don't know what you're getting into!" Absentmindedly, small snake-like tentacles shot out of his wrists, flipping wildly and disturbingly. His casual clothing tearing profusely " You know this isn't going to be fun, girl-pie!"
Buffy lunged at Seth, Plowing at him full force, she didmn't mind all the unsettling slickness that followed. Her hands slipped, and slid across Seth, as she punched him.
"Hey, watch those hands girlie!" Seth shouted.
The weird slippery sensation stopped the slayer, she looked at her hands in a repulsed state.
"Ugh, I feel like I'm in the aftermath of a bad porno-flick!" she lamented.
Angel shuddered and Xander smiled.
Seth took this opportunity to wrap his tentacles around the slayer's legs, the slippery wirey feeling, was not especially good one for her. Buffy took hold of one of the stringy wires, yanking them with extreme force, Seth let out a un-human cry.
"Argh! Not so hard baby! You'll bruise the family jewels!" Seth grinned, his eyes fully accidentally fell completely out of his head. Plopping on the ground and rolling near Xander's feet.
"If you let those things touch my wardrobe, I will put my foot right in your ass and wriggle my toes" Angel menacingly said to Xander. That was enough warning, the fear stricken Xander used all the power in his knees to thrust himself up, Angel invoulentarily was lifted up also because of the two being bound together, much to eachother's dismay. But Xander's weight was too heavy for the vampire to handle at the moment, the sudden halt of balance made Angel slip fowards, and Xander with his feet not touching the ground, head into a box of freshly sharpened wooden upright pencils.
"Just my luck" Angel groaned.
>
The ropes lightly slid off of Xander as he rolled onto his back.
"Oooh.. .." he muttered.
Noticing the "lack of Angel" and the pile of dust that had suddenly appeared around the pencils, Xander's eyes widened.
"Asses to ashes, Dorks to dust." Xander dusted himself off, looking at his his now deceased deceased allie's suit that was adoring his frame.
"I guess I keep the suit, I'm sure it's what he would've wanted." He reached into the inside pocket Angel's jacket (Now his).
"What's this" He fished his fingers around, a small dirty square packet. He blew some off the ancient dust off of the wrapper, revealing a silver color, beginning to read it carefully "In and Out condoms"
Xander's jaw dropped, reading the date of the slip .. ." Manufactured in 1775"
Xander couldn't help but chuckle,"He hasn't scored in.. ."
All of a sudden, Seth plummeled into Xander, sending him crashing to the ground. Seth rolled onto his chest, then with a quickness, got to his feet. Seth leaped at Buffy sending the slayer smashing into a displaced crate.
"Ow!" Buffy mumbled, including some really bad profanity.
Seth carefully slithered his way over her aching body, towering over the injured girl.
"I know this'll be fun! This time I kick your ass!"
Seth rolled up his sleeves, his mouth began to drool a tepid white substance. Seth lowered his abdomen towards her, a drop spittle fell on her chest.
"Not bloody likely!" Buffy said in her best cockney accent. She rose herself up, shoving both fists into Seth's chest. Buffy didn't particularly like the slimy feeling afterwards, but hell, it was fun. Gingerly crushing the insides of Seth with her bare hands, Seth's jaw dropped, he grabbed both of her fists yanking them out of his chest.
Buffy's hands were covered with white disturbing goop.
"Nasty." she uttered.

This was the fastest Willow rosenberg had ever run from anyone, or anything. She panted uncontrollably, as Victor slid down the corridor behind her.
"Oh god, there's a ghost I wanna bust! Who'm I gonna call?!"
she yelled to herself,
"Buffy!"
"Not so fast my vanilla creme skinned delight!" Vic screamed, he skimmed across the dirty, soot ladened floor towards the hacker. Willow quickly found an exiting door.
"Ahh, Finally!" she yelled with exaspiration. She hastily opened the door and rushed through.
Vic slammed into the closing door, he lurched backwards, unable to regain his balance.
"Un appetizing" he mumbled.
* * *
Xander Harris nursed a wound on his forehead, this night consisted alot of "falling down". He shook his head wildly and turned his view towards Buffy and Seth fighting, he couldn't help but root for the slayer.
"Go Buffy Go!"
Buffy avoided a couple of punches Seth threw
"Stay still blondie, I wants to hit ya'!"
"No thanks ugly." she yelled back in a breathy tone.
Seth stopped his wild actions, and pointed at himslef
"What? I happened to have picked a handsome host body. I'm too goddamn sexy!"
Seth was furious now, parasidic fluid made sealed up his chest, that had been so rudely punched into by Buffy earlier.
"Shut up." Buffy muttered, she eyed his left fist readying for a hearty punch.
Seth as predicted swung his left fist towards her with such force, Buffy on the other hand directed her forehead to the punch with even greater force. As with two wildly fast forces thrust into eachother, something bad was bound to happen. Seth's fist grounded itself backwards intio his wrist, and the ooze spurted everywhere.
"Disturbing visual" Buffy happily said while rubbing her aching forehead.
Willow suddenly ran into the room, she stopped herself to let all the goings-on sink into her head.
"This isn't a mutual friendship party is it?" Willow muttered.
Xander ran towards the shivering red head,"Willow!"
The two hugged, embracing as two lovers who had lost would.
Willow of course got in a cheap feel, getting the warm hug from him, she bit her bottom lip and controlled herself from doing anything *bad*.
"I saw Angel come in. Where is he?" Willow asked inquisitively.
"Unfortunately, he was dusted.." Xander said fakingly choking his voice, but laughing in the back of his head.
Willow's jaw dropped "But he and I only got to third base.. um.."
Xander narrowed one eye "What? What'd you say?"
Willow frantically tried to cover it up nicely " Um, me and Angel.. oh we never went to my house one night, and made out and did other stuff.. no we never did that."
Willow avoided eye contact with Xander.
"Hey what did happen when Buffy and I went to the Amusement park, late that Friday?" Xander cocked one eyebrow.
"Hey look, Buffy fighting." Willow changed the subject unfluidly.
Buffy still wrestled with Seth, she threw him across the room alot, but time, and time again, Seth would slide back to her for another senseless beating. Buffy finally threw Seth across the room onto a light fixture, impaling him.
"Hey look, I'm an ornament!" Seth happily yelled.
Buffy ran towards Xander and Willow, noticing the apprent absence of Angel. The three headed towards the nearest exit, when they were suddenly interuppted by a seething, angred Victor. Victor eyed the three, his mouth gaped open, showing the ultimate expression of being fed up.
"Let's do this" Vic mumbled under his breath. Pounding one fist into his open palm.
"Yipee, the Casper te unfriendly dweeb finally shooows up!" Seth clapped wildly, of course the sound that was emitted was strange, because he was using one hand, and one stump.
Xander stood in front of both girls. "Take me man, let them go!"
Vic eyed Xander oddly "But Xander I want your body."
Xander's eyes widened
"Geez Vic, I mean, we were good friends man, but uhh, I don't think I could make that commitm.."
Vic Interrupted sharply,"Shut up you loser, I remember when you would make out with your pillows." Vic cracked back. Xander's face reddened quickly, he faced the two girls. "He's uh lying of course.. eh heh eh heh.. ugh."
Victor plummeled Xander, causing him to fall on his knees. Seth managed to dis-impale himself. Collapsing on the gound below, the parasidic pulled a plastic bag out of his jeans pocket. Unwrapping the plastic bag, Seth staggered towards Xander, placing it slightly over the boy's head. Willow's heart pulsed quickly, she knew what was going to happen, the hacker tugged at Buffy's slimy pajama.
"Ew." Willow rubbed her fingers on the sleeves.
Buffy rubbed the nape of her neck, she lowered her brow and simply watched on.
"I read up about spirits, Will. I know what's going to happen. I'm just waiting for the right moment." Willow's bottom lip trembled, but she knew enough to trust the slayer. Vic stepped back away from Seth, to get enough "jumping distance". Seth totally covered Xander's head with the plastic bag, his breath was leaving his body dramatically fast.
"Watch this girlie. This is going to be so cool!" Vic smiled politely.
He lounged his way back, and rolled up his sleeves. "Ethereal Existence No more! I'm going to be a wacky wild mo fo that's gonna rock again!"
Xander's body cringed, his life force was apparently slipping away. The plastic bag, fogged up totally, his short frightened gasps could be heard.
"Help me Buff.. ." Xander said, his voice, apparrently weak from lack of oxygen.
Seth grinned evily,"It's jumping in time!" Xander's body was being held back, Seth laughed maliscously. The long awaited plan was coming together.
"All this time, it finally comes to this, man. Being evil kicks ass!" Seth gave a thumbs up.
Victor's whole body began to tremble, his ethereal body melting away, all human characteristics dissapeared, becoming a pure blue light. Buffy eyed the the goings-on, but stood strong. Vic's blue essence twriled, the light the was eminated, illuminated the whole room. As the blue light slowly moved towards the near lifeless Xander, Buffy intercepted, yanking Xander to the side.
Xander tumbled into Willow's arms, and Buffy turned her sight back on to Seth, she pushed Seth into the Vic's flowing essence.
A tremendous force blew Buffy back. With a wild thud, she lay still on her back, until a weird sound filled her ears.
"Whaeryhenslijwl!" The voice sounded.
Two voices mixed together.
Buffy raised herself up, her eyes widened when she saw the disturbing presence before her. Seth and Vic had unintentionally merged, it was a bad thing. Two minds trying to control the same ragged body.
Seth's body screamed with two voices.. ..
"Aghhhhhiookhgion!" Seth's body fell to it's knees. The white fluid that the parasidic demon was made from began to foam, and evaporated.. .. Seth was no more. On the other hand, Vic had final control over the body, he drooled uncontrollably, uttering his final words.
"Brought back to life to die."
Then the disturbingly, rotting corpse imploded, All sorts of fluids seeped through every orifice. Then the body slumped down, taking a few seconds to finally explode, painting the walls with bits and pieces of skin and bones.
"Yuck." Buffy stuck her bottom lip out.
Willow held a shuddering Xander's head in her lap. He was breathing fine now, and Willow was greatful for that. The three gathered themselves up, all walking slowly towards the exit. Buffy wrapped her arms around her two buds
"Hey, where's Angel?" Buffy asked quietly.
"Uhm, I'll tell you later, when I'm wearing a protective suit." Xander answered back.
Willow smirked "Thanks for saving me."
"It's no problem." The slayer answered back.
"Did you leave the front door to my house open? I hope you didn't." Willow asked questioningly.
"Uhm, yeah, sure, sure." Xander rolled his eyes towards a grimacing Buffy.
As the three walked into the nightlit street Willow and Xander trailed slowly behind Buffy. Willow furthered her face into Xander's ear.
"Xander."
"Yeah, Will?"
"You know, after a vampire is killed, all of his vintage clothing "dusts" too?"
"Whu?"
Xander felt a very cold breeze wrap around his body as the clothes that Angel had lent him deteriorated, he stood in the street bare naked. Both girls turned to see him, laughing wickedly at the sight of "little Xander".
Xander licked his teeth.
"You chicks are twisted."
