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.ell me what you think.
Back Story : I?m gonna mess with cannon for both stories 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 when they 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.
Note 2: Sorry about not getting smutty but htis is going out on Buffy lovesWillow and BuffywantsWillow so I can't be dirty.
  
?Sure lady, I?m immortal. Do I look like a vampire to you?? Buffy retorted, not knowing of another kind of immortal. 
?I didn?t say vampire, I said immortal. As in unable to die, can?t bekilled, eternal. Is any of this sinking in?? Amanda asked, forgetting toask how this young looking girl knew of vampires.
?Let?s see if this is sinking in. I?m going to call the police so I suggest that you leave now.? Buffy said backing towards the office, never taking her eyes off the beautiful, sword carrying blonde.
?Don?t!? the thief said hurriedly. ?We need to talk.?
?I don?t talk to thieves. I have them arrested.? Buffy said, her ire rising at being told what to do by a stranger.
?Do you remember that weird feeling in your head, the one that drew you out of the office?? Buffy nodded, suddenly thinking that maybe she should hear the woman out. ?That?s how immortals recognize one another, how weprepare.?
?Prepare for what?? Buffy asked her mind focused on Willow, and the waythat feeling had become just another thing in their lives that they couldn?t explain.
?Combat. We fight to the death.? The black clad stranger said. 
?I thought you said we were immortal.? Buffy said her confusion evident. ?If we?re immortals how do we fight to the death.?
?The only way to kill one of us is to remove the head from the neck.? Amanda said, expecting some comment about how gross that idea was.
?So that?d explain the sword. So are you here to kill me?? Buffy asked, no fear evident in her voice.
?Actually I came here tonight cause I could use a new painting for my condo.? Amanda said smiling ?But I suppose I could do my shopping somewhere else.?
?That?d be my suggestion, now leave.? Buffy said, having decided thatthe conversation was over.
?You?re going to need someone to teach you how to use a sword.? Amanda said.
Buffy had backed up until she was right beside the door to the office, where one of the first things she?d done after taking over for her mother wasstash some weapons. Including a sword Giles had given to her. She reached around the wall, and found it?s hilt, swinging it to the en garde position. 
?I know how to use a sword.? Buffy said swinging her sword smoothly through the air.
?I can see that my question is why?? Amanda asked, puzzled. 
?Job requirement.? Came the terse reply.
?For a gallery owner?? Amanda asked a laugh in her voice. ?We still need to talk. There are things you need to know.?
?Yeah and my girlfriend need to hear them too, cause she gives off the same vibes as you do.?
?You?re girlfriend gives off the same vibes as I do?? Buffy nodded. ?Ok, I guess I need to talk to her too.?
?We can get together for lunch tomorrow, there?s a nice diner down the street. We?ll meet you there at 12:30. We have class in the morning.? With that Buffy indicated that Amanda should proceed her to the door, then she let them both out. ?12:30! And when I come in, in the morning there?d better be nothing missing or I?ll know who to send the police to see.? With that parting statement Buffy ran off. 
Amanda let her get ten seconds head start, then followed, but when she got to the turn Buffy?d taken there was no sign of the girl.
*****
Buffy usually tried not to wake Willow when she got into bed after being out late, but this time she needed to talk to the witch.
?Willow!? She said, while gently caressing her lover?s cheek. ?Willow!? 
The redhead?s eyes blinked open a couple of times. ?Buffy?? She groaned still half asleep. ?Are you alright??
?I?m fine but I need to talk to you.? 
With these words from her beloved Willow finally decided to join the world of the waking. ?About what, Honey?? the wiccan asked as she pulled the blonde down to sit beside her.
Comfortable in the loving embrace of her girlfriend Buffy took her time before answering. ?Someone broke into the gallery tonight.?
?Oh Goddess, are you hurt?? Buffy shook her head ?Was anything stolen?? again Buffy shook her head. ?was anything damaged.? Again Buffy shook her head. ?Ok, so what?s up??
?Will you know that weird feeling that we get whenever we?re around each other? That sorta buzzing in our heads?? Now it was Willow?s turn fornon verbal replies so she nodded. ?I felt it tonight in the gallery, andwhen I want looking for the source thinking it was you, I found the thief.She was the source.? Buffy then told the tale of her encounter with Amanda. ?So will you come with me to meet her for lunch tomorrow??
?Of course I will.? Willow said kissing Buffy, and for the first time Buffy noticed the passion smouldering in her lover?s eyes.
