Buffy came out of the elevator and looked around. “Gunn?” She asked.
Gunn looked at her. “Buffy. Hey. Angel’s with a client but he’ll be done soon,” he said.
Buffy smiled. “Thanks,” she said, as Illyria came downstairs.
Buffy looked at her. “Fred?”
“That’s a long story for you and Angel to talk about,” Gunn said.
“I would like to test my strength to see how much is left,” Illyria said.
Gunn sighed. “Fine. We’ll get the training area set up. You wanna come Buffy?” He asked.
“Sure,” Buffy said, following them upstairs.
After about and hour, Spike found Gunn watching through the training room.
“She still in there?” Spike asked.
“She’s training with a slayer,” Gunn said.
Spike’s eyes widened. “Buffy?”
“You know her?” Gunn asked.
“Yeah,” Spike said, going into the training room.
Illyria threw Buffy against the wall. “You are weak,” she said.
“No she’s not,” Spike said, from behind her.
“The ½ breed,” Illyria said, turning around.
Spike smiled before charging at her.
They exchanged blows and Buffy got to her feet in a daze. “Spike?” She whispered.
Spike threw Illyria over his head into the opposite wall. “If you ever touch her again, I’ll kill you,” he growled.
Illyria came to her feet. “You can try,” she said.
“Try me,” Spike growled, turning to Buffy. “You okay?” He asked, stepping toward her.
Buffy promptly fainted in his arms.
Spike smiled and scooped her up. He carried her out of the training room and toward Lorne’s office.
He walked through the door and Lorne stood up. “Spike. Who’s this?” Lorne asked.
“Buffy, she just fainted is all,” Spike said, laying her on the sofa. “I didn’t wanna take her back to Angel.”
After a few minutes, Buffy stirred. “Uh…” she groaned.
“Buffy,” Spike said, stroking her hair.
“Spike?” Buffy whispered, opening her eyes.
“Hey,” Spike said, smiling. “Are you okay?”
Buffy pushed herself up and she ran her hands over his cheeks. “You’re alive,” she whispered.
Spike smiled more. “I’m here,” he said.
Lorne brought Buffy a glass of water. “You alright Sweetie?” He asked.
Buffy smiled and accepted the glass. “I think so,” she said, draining the glass of water.
Lorne smiled down and Spike who seemed memorized by the young woman. “Spike?”
“Hm?” Spike asked, dazed.
“You should take Buffy for a tour and do some catching up,” he said.
Spike stood up. “Come on, Pet,” he said, holding out his hand.
Buffy set her glass down and slid her hand into his.
Spike and Buffy left the office and Lorne smiled.
"So, how long have you been back?” Buffy asked.
“A while,” Spike said.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” She asked.
“Didn’t want to,” Spike said, simply.
“How come?” Buffy asked, as they entered the lobby.
“Buffy, I don’t wanna get into it,” Spike said, as they went towards Angel’s office.
Angel looked up as Spike entered with an angry looking slayer. “Spike, what’s going on?” He asked, standing.
Spike looked at her. “She fought with Illyria,” he said.
Angel looked at Buffy. “When did you get here?”
“A little while ago. Gunn said you were with a client so I trained with Illyria,” Buffy said, crossing her arms.
Angel went over to Spike. “How much did
you tell her?” He asked.
“Nothing,” Buffy said. “So who is gunna tell me?”
Spike looked at Angel then put his hands on his hips. “Buffy, you don’t need to now everything,” he said.
Buffy’s eyes widened. “Someone should have told me,” she whispered.
“Maybe I didn’t want you to know,” Spike said. “I don’t tell you everything.”
“I think I should go,” Buffy said, going to the door.
Angel jumped in front of her. “Why did you come here in the first place?” He asked.
“Giles said you had an emergency and I’m assuming it was Illyria,” she said.
Spike walked past them and left.
Buffy looked at the ground as tears well in her eyes.
“Buffy, you need to go after him,” Angel said. “He still loves you.”
Buffy looked at him before running out of the office. “Spike!”
Spike paused at the elevator.
Buffy went over and pulled him in the elevator.
She smashed her lips and against his and pulled him close to her.
Spike kissed her back and ran his fingers through her hair. “I love you,” he whispered.
“I love you too,” Buffy said, kissing him again.
