Fic: Missing Red 6 /6

["frank_8281" <frank_8281@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I started this I had no idea where it was going or if I was 
going to be any good at writing this kind of thing. I'm still not 
sure if I'm any good at this but I'd like to thank everyone for all 
their comments. Anyway this is the last part and I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks again. B.

        Missing Red: Part 6


Shadow's POV


I hear them stirring, finally. About time, it's almost noon. They've 
been asleep since 4:00 a.m. I called the library on Buffy's phone and 
told the others to go home after sunrise. I told Giles that it was 
all over, Willow was safe and she and the Slayer were sleeping. Not 
sure he believed me about that last part. What, does he think they're 
going to be making wild monkey love with me just ten feet away?


Buffy's POV


Mmmm&.What a strange dream, got to remember to tell&Willow! That's 
when it all comes rushing back to me. Willow, the ritual, the fight. 
Getting stabbed! So how come I'm not dead or in the hospital? Then I 
notice the warmth next to me. I open my eyes and there she is, my 
Willow, her beautiful sweet face just inches from mine. For that one 
moment, I am content. It doesn't matter that we're lying on a hard 
stone altar, it doesn't matter that I should probably be dead now. 
All that matters is that Willow is in my arms, My Willow, my&. uh oh. 
My smile of a second ago is replaced with a frown as something occurs 
to me. I glance down at the sleeping red head, she's covered with one 
of the robes the Demons wore. I pick up the edge and peek 
underneath&. oh boy. Yep, she's naked. I reach for my cell phone to 
call for someone to bring Will some clothes, but of course, it's 
gone. Damn! Now what. Of course, Willow with no clothes& oh bad Buffy!


"Looking for this?" Shadow whispers as he hands me the phone.

"Shhh. Don't wake her."

He hands me a bundle of cloth. "What's this?"
"Clothes for her."

"Do I want to know where they came from?"

"Cordelia brought them."

"Cordelia! Oh crap!" I can just imagine how the Queen of tact is 
going to relate this little scene to the others. Well I'll deal with 
that later.

"Go somewhere that's else."

"Excuse me?"

"I want to get Will up and dressed and I don't think she's gonna want 
an audience."

He headed for the tunnel. "Shadow, thanks for killing the frog-Demon."

"Better thank Red, she killed A'racmos." He said without turning 
around.

"Willow killed it?" My little Will?

"Yup. Then she healed you. If you don't believe me, wake her up and 
ask."

Maybe I should, among other things. God, I hope she's not freaked 
over what I thought was my dying declaration of love! 

"Willow, time to get up." I gently shake her.

"Nooo, don' wanna."

I chuckle at the cute expression on her face. "Will, we have to get 
moving so come on sweetie, wake up. Giles and the others will be 
worried about us."

"Buffy? You're all right! I did save you!"

"Uh huh, and took out the bad guy too. I'm impressed Will."

I hand her the bundle and she looks at it, confused. I can't help it 
I grin.

"Look down Willow."

She does, and with a gasp ducks behind the altar, "Buffy, why didn't 
you say something!"

"I was enjoying the view too much." I say, grinning.

"Buffy!" She sounds shocked. I hope that's not a bad sign.

"Buffy?" She says softly.

"Uh huh."

"Do you remember what you said, after you got stabbed?" She walks 
around the altar wearing jeans and one of her silly fuzzy sweaters 
and still managing to look so beautiful I think my heart will burst.

"Yes." I manage to squeeze out past the lump in my throat.

"Did you mean it?" She asks so quietly I have to strain to hear her.

"With all my heart Will, but if you don't I'll&.oof!" Suddenly I'm 
almost toppled over by a wildly crying and babbling Willow launching 
herself into my arms.

"Oh Buffy, I've loved you so much for so long and I've been so afraid 
to tell you cause I thought you would hate me cause I'm bi and your 
straight, only I guess you're not since you love me too&.."

If I let her, she'll go like this forever so I shut her up with a 
kiss. A long, deep, wet, tongue-tangling kiss. When I  finally pull 
back I ask her, "How long, Will?"

"Huh?"

"How long have you been in love with me?"

"Oh! Well, remember when you sat next to me in the school courtyard 
and said `Hi, I'm Buffy!'?" 

"Oh, Willow, I had no idea!"

"Well, how could you? It's not like I had `Hi, I'm bi-sexual!' 
tattooed on my forehead after all. I had only started figuring it out 
myself a few months before. I didn't even know there was a word for 
it, I just knew that I liked both boys and girls. Like, liked you 
know?" She hesitated and then continued shyly, "And could we do that 
again?"

"Oh, yeah we are definitely going to do that again, but right now I 
want to get both of us out of here. Haven't you spent enough time in 
this dump? I know I have."

"If I never see this thing again," she said, patting the altar. "it 
will be too soon."

I take her hand in mine and we start towards the exit. When we get 
outside, Shadow is already gone. I kinda thought he might be. Someday 
I'm going to have to find out what his deal is. But right now, it's 
just not important. I got my Willow back and she loves me and all is 
right with my world. At least for now.

The End?
