Disclaimer:   ‘A vague disclaimer is nobody’s friend’. Ok so maybe I borrowed a line from Willow there :: insert sheepish grin here::.  You guys know the drill, I own absolutely nothing here, it all belongs to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, and whoever else that I can’t seem to remember at the moment.
Rating: PG-13.  What can I say, I’m a slash virgin. I can’t even begin to try and write smut.  But give me time, you never know. ::evil laughter::
Pairing:  Willow/Buffy, Buffy/Willow, Hacker/Slayer, I think you get the point.
Summary:  Picks up right where ‘Afterlife’ left off. 
Spoilers:  Well pretty much anything is fair game up through ‘Afterlife’.
Feedback:  I love feedback, it makes me actually feel like I accomplished something other than just wasting my time on a fic.
Distribution: Sure, take it, just please drop me a line and let me know where it’s going.
Author’s Note: Ok, well this is my first foray into the Buffy universe fic wise.  I’ve written 2 Roswell fics and a couple of Popular slash fics, but never anywhere near Buffy.  So please excuse me if I seem like a bit of a novice.  I just decided to take a chance and write about my favorite Buffy couple, UC or otherwise.  There was just so much subtext in the season 6 premiere, how could I not?
Warning:  If a female/female romantic relationship bothers you, you’ll definitely want to stay far away from this fic.

Buffy gently closed the door to the back entrance of the Magic Box, breathing in the warm afternoon air as a soft breeze sweeped around her.  Seeing her friends again, just being with them, had felt wonderful, but the weight of the past 24 hours was bearing down heavily on her.  She saw Spike sitting on a crate in the alley smoking a cigerette.  She stepped hesitantly toward him, for some strange reason feeling like she didn’t have to hide the truth from the wayward vampire.  And for the same strange reason she knew he would keep quiet about what she was going to share with him.

"They can never know the truth" Buffy tossed back over her shoulder to Spike as she walked  away.  There was no way that Buffy would ever let her friends find out where he soul had actually been.  The look in their eyes alone was enough to make her live with the burden of the truth.   <Who am I kidding, it wasn’t their faces, its washers.  Only hers>  When Buffy had looked into Willow’s eyes, the trust, the hope, the love and the pain, she saw had sealed the deal for her.  She would not hurt Willow with the truth,and nothing could make her do otherwise.
