["frank_8281" <frank_8281@xxxxxxxxx>]

I really didn't plan on doing this, at least not this soon, but a 
couple of days ago this story started putting itself together in my 
head. So, here we go again. Hope everyone enjoys it. BTW if anyone 
wants to post this or Missing Red anywhere else, please be my guest. 
Just let me know so I can come and see. Thanks, B.

              OF Slayers AND  Angels


Willow's POV


In the three months that we've been a couple there has been a lot 
going on. Because of the circumstances our friends already knew, but 
Buffy's mom and my parents were in the dark about us. My parents, 
well they've pretty much ignored me since I was thirteen, so no big 
surprise that they had no clue as to who I was dating. Buffy's mom, 
well she took it better than we expected. At least she didn't kick 
Buffy out of the house like she did when she found out about her 
being the Slayer. We still haven't told my parents because, well, I'm 
kinda scared to. They're not the most orthodox Jewish people in the 
world but the torah condemns same sex relationships in no uncertain 
terms. So I'm fairly sure what my father's reaction would be, 
homeless Willow! Fortunately, they're not scheduled to come back from 
their lecture tour in Europe for another month so no need to worry 
about that confrontation, yet. Not that there haven't been 
confrontations, because there have been. One with Scott Hope, who 
kept asking Buffy out and not taking 'no' for an answer. At least 
until that night in the Bronze, when I let him know who she was with 
in no uncertain terms by kissing her senseless in front of him. I 
thought that would be easier than Buffy beating the crap out of him, 
which is what she was leaning toward. Then there was Faith.

See Faith is a Slayer too. I know, there's only supposed to be one, 
but not long after Buffy came to Sunnydale she drowned while facing 
the Master. Xander performed CPR and brought her back but apparently, 
it was enough to call Kendra, the next Slayer in line. Then when 
Kendra was killed last year, Faith was called. The problem was that 
when Faith came to town she was running from Kakistos, this really 
old and ugly Vampire, who had killed her Watcher. Since she left this 
little detail out of her cute stories about her sleeping in the nude 
and wrestling alligators she almost got Buffy and herself killed. 
This didn't exactly put her on my top ten list to start with, but 
when Faith found out that Buffy and I were a couple, she seemed to 
think that gave her a license to make snide remarks and to hit on me. 
Which I tried to ignore, for the most part, until she managed to get 
me cornered in the stacks one evening and tried to grope me. She had 
her hand over my mouth but I bit her and screamed. Buffy was there in 
a second and when it was over Faith was on the floor bleeding and 
holding her ribs. Buffy told her that if she ever touched me again, 
she'd kill her. I believe her; I just hope that Faith does. 

Buffy called me just a little while ago. She was crying, almost 
hysterical, it took me almost ten minutes to get her calmed down 
enough for me to understand her. Except even then what she said 
didn't make sense. See, before I got kidnapped and we got together as 
a couple Buffy had only had one other serious relationship. That was 
with Angel. This is the hard part; Angel was a Vampire who had been 
cursed with a soul by a tribe of gypsies in revenge for murdering a 
young girl. Long story short; Buffy and Angel fell in love and on her 
seventeenth birthday they made love. Because of the terms of the 
curse one moment's happiness would cost Angel his soul and he would 
revert to Angelus. For a hundred years he was the evilest most 
vicious creature in existence. And making love with Buffy turned him 
back into that monster. Over the next few weeks, he did everything he 
could to drive Buffy insane. When it looked like that was going to 
fail he decided to end the world by opening a portal to suck us all 
into a hell dimension. While Buffy went to stop him I tried to 
restore the curse, but it was too late. The portal was opening and 
she had to kill Angel and send him to hell to save the world. That's 
what doesn't make any sense! When I finally got her to stop crying 
she said Angel was back!


Buffy's POV

God, what's taking Willow so long! I've got him chained up but he's 
crazy, almost feral. It's tearing me apart seeing him this way. It 
was hard enough to kill him once, what if I have to do it again? 

"Oh, Will please, please hurry!" I sob.

Almost as if in answer; "Buffy?"

"Buffy, where are you?" 

"In the living room Will." I manage to choke out.

I hear her come up behind me but I can't tear my eyes from the figure 
huddled against the fireplace.

"Buffy, look at me."

"Oh God, Will look at him! What are we going to do? Why is he back?"

She pulls me to her and hugs me saying; "I don't know baby. I don't 
know, but we'll do everything we can to find out." 

I'm starting to calm down now; Wills always has that effect on me, 
soothing me. So soothing I almost miss what she asks next.


"Buffy is he secure? Can we leave him here alone?"

"Yes, that bracket I've got him chained to is solidly mounted. He's 
not going anywhere."

"Okay then, who's on Oz-watch tonight?"

"Faith. I was on patrol then I did a sweep through Miller's Wood's. 
That's where I found Angel." I answer.

"Okay, Faith on watch is good. We can tell her that you need to 
study and I'm helping you. Of course she'll think we're just going to 
make out, but she'll leave the library anyway, then we'll hit the 
books and find out everything we can about A'cathla and the hell 
dimension he was supposed to suck the world into. Maybe that will 
give us an idea as to how Angel could come back, and how he got this 
way."

Wow, Willow, in babble and research mode. Balance is almost restored 
to my world. That's what she does, helps me balance out the craziness 
in my life. That's why I love her so much. I hug her, give her a 
quick kiss, and we both head out the door.


Faith's POV

I am so fucking bored! Even with my tunes and the comics I brought to 
read. Wolf watch is just hours of tedium punctuated by moments, just 
moments, of excitement when Red's ex tries to force his way out of 
the book cage. Which he hasn't, and that's really too bad. I could 
use a good scrap about now. Then the doors bust open and I grab my 
comics and stuff them in my backpack, hoping that Red and B don't 
notice.

"Red, B what's the up?"

"I was helping Buffy study for her Bio test tomorrow and we realized 
that we needed a book that I didn't have at my house, so here we are."

I can't resist; "You sure it's Biology you guys are studying and not 
Anatomy?"

Red blushes and B growls; "Watch your mouth Faith."

"Easy B, not lookin' to start nothin'. You know me, mouth in motion 
before mind in gear-girl here.

"Since we're going to be studying anyway, Faith why don't you take 
the rest of the night off. We can watch Oz."

I look from Red to B and back again. A little confused by this 
generous offer on their part, I hesitate.

"Faith," B says; "are you really having that much fun here?"

"Hell no, B!" I grab my backpack and CD player and bolt for the 
door. "Maybe if I hurry I can get in a couple of stakings before 
sunrise!" 

As the doors swing shut I look back through the windows. Red is 
already at the index card thing and B is hovering over her shoulder 
with a worried look on her face. Something more is goin' on than 
they're sayin'. Maybe if I can find out what that something is, I can 
use it to take fuckin' little miss perfect Buffy down a peg or two.
