Unanticipated Future by Inell

Willow and Dru sat on the table between the others and watched Spike fighting. He was so graceful. Willow chewed her bottom lip as he was punched painfully. Dru saw Buffy knocked out of the way. Both vampires concentrated on Spike. One of them threw his direct opponent a sword that had been near the book cage. Willow's eyes grew wide. Uh oh...this didn't look good.

Spike saw the sword enter his chest, right through his heart. He heard gasps behind him and had to smile. He stumbled a bit and started moaning and groaning. He heard Willow and Dru start laughing. Suddenly, he straightened and looked at Willow.

"You know, luv. Even after six years, I still get all tingly inside when this happens. Do you think thats normal?"

She smiled at him and got off the table. "Well, are we normal? I think that is the first question you have to ask yourself. I, personally, don't feel tingly. I feel a bit of sharp pain and then nothing." She reached for the handle of the sword and quickly pulled it out of him.

"Raven, what about you?"

"No tingles for me. I go with Red on this one. A bit of pain like a shot and then it goes away. Guess you aren't normal Scarlet."

He growled at her use of the latter part of his name. "Will....how hard a name is that to remember?"

Willow held the sword and rolled her eyes. Quickly, she turned and pierced both the remaining vampires. "Dust to dust." she said before turning back to Spike. "That was fun. What's next?"

"You're incorrigible." He said, kissing her firmly.

"Get a room" Dru yelled good naturedly.

They heard a thump and looked over to see Buffy laying on the floor. She had just fainted.

"This so doesn't look good." Willow muttered to Spike.

"We'll make it pet. We saved them. They have to listen."
