Note:
This was written as a response to a challenge I saw here a couple of day?s
ago. I accidentally erased it so I?m not sure if this meets all the
requirements, if not Mea Culpa. Tell me what you think.
Note
2: I'm trying to decide weather to end it, or jump forward in time a
hundred years, or just keep going like I've been. Help me
decide.
Dedication: To Carol, who makes mewish I
had her imagination, cause I'd never be bored.
Back
Story : I?m gonna mess with cannon for both series here so pay
attention. Firstly Highlander: Season 6 didn?t happen, and Duncan never
killed Richie.
BtVS:
Buffy died at the hands of the master, and became immortal, but no one
thought anything of it cause Xander performed CPR. Then we follow canon
until Becoming part 2 where Willow was killed by Angelus minions whenthey
attacked the library. Buffy killed Angelus, and stopped Acathla, but never
left town, planning to attend Willow?s funeral before leaving. Because
Willow has now become immortal, Buffy never ends up leaving. The two
notice the Buzz, but not being able to find a source just learn to ignore
it. Again we follow canon until the point where the story starts which is
about 2 months after The Body.
Faith
watched in awe as the two men faced off with practice swords. The waythey
moved was so fluid, so confident, so controlled. The two old friends had
been happy to meet, and now the four immortals were working out. Gunnand
Duncan with swords, and Adam was teaching Willow some ancient martial
arts.
Faith
was having trouble deciding who to watch as she could learn so much by
watching either. Finally she decided that she?d probably get more use out
of the hand to hand stuff Adam Pierson was teaching her friend.
?May
I join the class?? Faith asked a smile on her face.
?You
may.? Adam said.
The
man didn?t look like he could win any sort of fight that wasn?t
intellectual, hell even his shirt bore an intellectual joke. Willow had
cracked up when she saw the shirt, then explained it to Faith, who?d
thought it was sorta funny. His shirt exclaimed in latin ?If you can read
this you?re over educated.?
Faith
and Willow spent the next few hours in all sorts of combat training, armed
and unarmed with the three older immortals. They were both tired, sweaty,
and happy when the fun time ended.
*****
Buffy
on the other hand was not in the best of moods, which was bad for the
demons that resided on the hellmouth, cause the only thing that seemed to
calm her down was ripping something to shreds. None of the other immortals
in town would spar with her because she had broken far to many of their
bones recently. So she was out all night, pounding demons into mush.
When
she came home for the third straight night covered from head to toe in
blood and gore, Dawn decided that something had to be done, so she did the
only thing she could think of. She called Willow.
?Can
I talk to Willow, please?? She asked of the voice that answered thephone
at Angel Investigations.
?Is
that you Dawn?? Cordy asked.
?Yes,
it?s sort of urgent.? Dawn replied, trying to get the former cheerleader
to hurry.
?Just
a sec, kiddo.?
It
was closer to thirty seconds later that Willow?s voice came on the line
?Dawn? What?s up??
Dawn
hurriedly explained the way Buffy was behaving, and her fears, and when
she was done all Willow said was she?d be on the next
bus.
*****
Buffy
was stalking the cemetery, hoping for something to kill. The demons and
vamps were getting scarce, most of the smarter ones had already skipped
town. She was about ready to move on to the next cemetery when she sensed
the approach of an immortal.
?This
is Holy Ground, but if you?ll care to step off, we can do this.? Buffy
called out into the night.
?I
was thinking of our bed, but if you want to make love in the middle of the
street, I suppose we can try it just this once.? Came the teasing reply in
Willow?s voice.
Buffy
couldn?t believe her ears, her beloved was back, she hadn?t lost her.
?Willow?? She asked afraid that she was hearing things.
Willow stepped out from behind a
mausoleum, her face covered in a smile. ?Hi Buffy.?
Willow never saw the slayer move, she
just knew that one second she was standing on the ground, the next she was
in her lover?s arms, being kissed within an inch of her
life.
Finally air became more important then
kissing to the two women, and they broke apart.
?When
did you get back?? Buffy asked.
?Just
now. And from what your sister tells me, just in the knick of time.?
Willow replied, squirming a bit to get the slayer to put her
down.
?What
do you mean ?just in the knick of time??? Buffy asked as she set her
girlfriend?s feet on the ground, but didn?t let her
go.
?Dawn
called me, saying that you were acting like a mad woman. I just walked
here from the bus stop and didn?t even see a vamp. What have you been up
to?? Willow calmly replied.
?So
Dawn calls and you come running?? Buffy yelled, hurt that her little
sister would go behind her back.
Willow was taken aback by the change in
her lover?s mood, from happy to hurt in less then a second. ?She said that
you needed me!? She said softly. ?I came back because I love you.? Willow
waited to see how this would be taken. ?Dawn?s worried about you,afraid
to lose you. She?s lost so many people she loves in the last coupleof
years. Your mom, and Tara, plus her father?s rejection of her. She didn?t
want to go live with him, but she wanted him to at least want her
to.?
?Dawn?s worried that I?ll leave her??
Buffy asked feeling guilty that she?d caused her sister to fear forher
safety. ?Let?s go home, talk to her, then I?m gonna make love to you until
the sun rises.?
******
Xander looked at his fiancé sleeping
draped across his chest, and felt content. Then he remembered the way
Buffy had been acting since Willow left and felt worried. He knew his
friend missed her lover, but he also knew that other then being therefor
Buffy there wasn?t much he could do to help. As he dropped off to sleep he
decided that he?d go over there, make breakfast and talk to Buffy.
******
Dawn
woke up, slowly, because someone was shaking her. This, in her opinion,
was the harshest way to wake up. She finally opened her eyes, and sawher
sister was the cruel monster denying her sleep. ?What?? She muttered
trying to roll over and go back to sleep.
?Wake
up. We have to talk!? Buffy said.
?About what?? Dawn asked, catching a
glimpse of the clock on her nightstand, which declared the time to be1 in
the morning. ?And why now??
?Because Willow showed up duringpatrol,
and told me that I?d been scaring you. I think we need to
talk.?
?I
have school in the morning.? Dawn said.
?I?ll
let you stay home tomorrow, now get up and meet us in the living room.?
Buffy ordered gruffly through the smile on her face. ?She and Will are a
lot alike? she thought to herself as she walked down the
stairs.
She
had no sooner sat down in the easy chair when Willow plopped into her
lap.
?Ok,
if I can?t sleep, you two can?t make out!? Dawn rebuked the couple as she
came down the stairs, and sat on the couch.
?Dawn, I?ve been thinking about the way
I?ve behaved the last couple of days, and you were right to call Willow. I
was acting like a mad woman, and I?m sorry that I scared you.? Buffy said,
putting in a valiant effort to concentrate on speaking with a squirming
Willow sitting in her lap.
?You
woke me up for that?? Dawn asked, wanting nothing more then to go back to
bed. ?Whatever, if you promise to not do it again I?ll forgive you. Now I
think you and Willow want to be alone.? Dawn rose from the couch and went
to bed.
?Hmm,
want to go to our room and keep her up all night?? Buffy asked before
kissing Willow?s neck.
?Umm,
Buffy, don?t forget she knows how to kill us.? Willow replied before
moaning in lust.
?You
know, you?re right plus we haven?t had sex on the couch in a longtime.?
Buff said, before moving to rectify that oversight.
*****
Xander approached the Summers house the
next morning through the backyard to keep Buffy from waking up. He let
himself in, and set about making a hearty breakfast, right after turning
on the coffee pot.
The
smell of coffee brewing wafted into the living room, and slowly roused the
entangled women. ?Coffee.? Buffy moaned in desire ?Will, I loveyou.
Thanks for setting the coffee maker up last night.? Buffy rose fromthe
couch and walked towards the kitchen nude, intent on the first cup ofthe
day.
Willow?s drowsy mind finally finished
interpreting what her lover had said, just as Buffy walked through the
door to the kitchen. ?Buffy, I didn?t?? she began only to be interrupted
by the sound of her lover shrieking, and glass breaking. Buffy came flying
through the door a half second later. ?Clothes are good.? She said to
herself before turning to the kitchen door and yelling ?What are you doing
in my house, Alexander Harris??
Xander winced when he heard the slayer
use his full name ?I?m screwed.? He muttered to himself, then decided that
he?d better explain himself. ?I came to make breakfast for you and Dawn.?
He called back.
?Xander?? Shrieked Willow, as she started
scrambling into her clothes.
?Will? You?re back?? Xander asked,
starting to come into the living room to see his friend, only to havethe
door blocked by a slightly irate slayer.
?Ow!?
Exclaimed Xander ?What?s that about??
?Cause we?re trying to get dressed.?
Buffy snapped back. ?Now clean up that broken plate, and we?ll bein there
in a minute.?
Buffy
finished dressing first and went to wake her sister while Willow finished
dressing.
?What
now?? snapped Dawn, annoyed at being woken again.
?Xander?s downstairs making breakfast for
us, so up and at em.? Buffy said before turning and walking out of the
room.
?Xander?? Buffy heard squealedbehind
her, followed by her sister falling out of bed.
*****
When
Buffy walked into the kitchen with her arm around Willow, Xander had the
decency to blush.
?Hey
Will, his face looks like your hair.? Buffy teased.
?Umm,
Buff, Umm?? Xander stammered trying to figure out what to say to his
friend, now that he was face to face with her.
?Forget about it, Xander.? Buffy said. ?I
mean entirely. Forget what you saw.?
?And
don?t tell Anya.? Willow
added.
?Done!? Xander
said.
?Don?t tell Anya what?? Dawnasked from
behind the two women.
?Umm.? Said the three older people in the
room.
