Buffy walked into a local club.

*Not as nice as the Bronze.* she thought, looking around the old warehouse turned night club. Drapes hung over the windows and there almost no light except the soft glow of lights over the dance floor.

She looked around. *No vampires.* she confirmed. She turned to leave, but she stopped in her tracks. A tingle rose in her spine. A feeling she hadn't felt in nearly two years.

*Angel.* she thought.

Angel crept down the almost deserted streets of LA. Many questions arose in his mind. *Where's Buffy? What happened that night, except for the obvious, was so terrible she felt she had to leave. Is she dea. . .* he stopped that train of thought. He refused to think anything else had happened to his beloved slayer.

His feet led him to a door. He looked up and read the sign. "The Shelter."

He'd been here before it was a favorite hunting place of local vampires. He stepped inside the club, and decided to do a little hunting of his own.

Buffy's attire made it easy to blend into the shadows. Her black pants and twin set made it almost impossible to see her. She stepped into an empty corner, and waited.

She didn't have to for long.

Her slayer senses honed on a certain part of the dance floor. She silently walked toward the person.

The figure was standing still, contrasting deeply with the active teenagers surrounding him.

She walked until she was directly behind him.

"Angel," she said.

He swirled around.

"Buffy," he replied, looking at her. She was dressed darker then usual. He guessed she was still mourning.

He was about to open his mouth when she interrupted him.

"Let's go outside. It's a little crowded in here."

He nodded in agreement and followed her outside.

Once they were safely outside of hearing range of anyone in the club, she turned to him.

"Buffy," he began, "I'm so sorry."

She looked at him, surprised. "About what?"

"About Giles and your mother. I should of killed Spike when I had the chance."

"Spike didn't kill them." Buffy replied.

"Who did then?" Angel asked.

Buffy shot him a bitter look.

"I did."
