"What are we gonna do now? Shall we do the curse? I have the materials". Willow said, looking at Buffy.

She shook her head. "No, Will. I don't want you to-"

A knock on the door interrupted her. She went to open the door. It was Riley. He was bruised and messy.

"I thought you'd be here", he leaned to kiss her, but she backed off.

"What happened to you?" she asked. He looked at her friends who were staring at her.

"So that's Riley?" Cordelia asked. Willow nodded. "Pretty much a let down".

"Remember your friend?" Riley pulled Buffy to the kitchen, away from her friends earshot. "The one I sle- the one who fooled me it was you?" he asked.

"Faith".

"She's a vampire. I caught her with her friend. They escaped, but she's tagged".

Buffy stared at him in shock.

"After Angel you would have think she'd pick a guy who cares more on his looks, I mean, this guy is not even undead and look at him!" Cordelia said.

"Buffy needs a normal guy", Anya said. "But she can't have Xander. She knows that".

Cordelia rolled her eyes. "I'm not even gonna go there!"

"Did Angel really gave up his humanity for Buffy?" Willow asked, smiling.

"So I've heard".

"That is so romantic", Willow said, drifting off to other places with glassy eyes.

"What is?" Buffy approached her. Willow straightened up. "Oh, nothing!"

She waved her hands.

"We have a problem", Buffy said looking at them. "Faith is not dead..."

Everyone glared at Agatha. "She's alive? Then how come-"

"She's undead. A vampire".

"Oh boy..." Xander exhaled.

"A vampire with her strength..." Anya said. "Imagine the sex she and Angelus must be having".

"Anya!" Buffy stared at her.

"What? She's a vamp, he's a vamp. He looks pretty hot for a vamp". "Anya!" Willow rebuked her.

Angelus was hitting the boxing sack with no mercy. The sweat was glistening on his bare muscles. He was wearing a white sleeveless shirt. Faith watched him hitting the sack.

"Lots of sexual frustration there", she commented.

He stopped punching the sack, but didn't turn to face her, just held the sack. "Keep out of it, defective slayer, or I won't bring you dinner".

She huffed. "Why are you getting so defensive?"

She moved closer to him touching his arm. "That's a strong muscle". She touched his arms with her fingers. "If you want we could-"

"Get away from me!" he pulled away his arm and walked away.

"I'm going to kill someone, see you later".

She hit the sack furiously. "Dammit!"

After a while she walked out. The sun sank in the horizon. Faith knew she had to find Angelus so she could feed.

She was angry with the people who did this to her. She was only beginning to enjoy the drinking and the lifetaking of people, and they took it away from her.

She bumped into someone and snarled. She raised her head.

"William the Bloody!" She said, looking at Spike.

"And you are?" he asked, suddenly intrigued.

"I'm Faith. I was a vampire slayer-"

She touched his chest and trailed her finger on it.

"You are. Bloody hell. This is too good to be true". She was obviously seducing him.

"I'm so hungry", she said in a sensual voice.

"But I have a small problem", she nibbled on his ear.

"How can I help you, pet?"

"I can't... kill people. I can only drink them after they're dead", she explained, looking him in the eyes.

He sighed. "Sadly, I have the same problem".

She let go of him at once. "What? Then you're of no use to me!" she growled angrily and started to walk away.

"What? Spike has a chip in his head, so he's not good anymore for anything?"

Faith stopped walking and turned around to face him. a gleam sparkled in her eyes. "Do you want to show me?"

Angelus walked inside the abandoned building. This could be a nice residence. Not as nice as the mansion, but better than living in the sewers.

He heard a noise behind him and turned around to see the young

girl."Well, hello gorgeous. Aren't you looking for troubles tonight?" "Yeah, and my troubles are you". She said.

Angelus looked up. "Oh I love it when they're witty", he smirked.

"I'm glad. It would be a shame it if you didn't, since it's the last thing you'd love".

"And the wisecracking keeps on coming", he sneered. "Let me guess, you're the very new vampire slayer".

"Bingo. And you are going to be very dead".

Angelus sneered again. "What is it with the powers that be choice of slayers? Every new one is funnier than the previous". He vamped out and looked at the young girl.

"How many vampires have you staked in the few days since you answered your callings?"

"Not enough to make me satisfied. I want you as a trophy".

"Okay, it's a shame really. I guess Buffy will get to meet yet another new slayer. Don't you envy her?" he asked and lunged at her.

She kicked him away, taking out her stake.

"Oh scary", he laughed and tripped her. She quickly jumped on her feet again.

"You're spry", he smirked, then punched her in the gut, making her stumble and crouch. "That's very sad. But hey, be happy! At least you'll be dead quickly. I'm a nice guy, I don't torture newcomers".

She quickly lifted herself up, hitting him in the jaw. "Thanks, that's very thoughtful of you!" She swung her hand to stake him.

"Hey!" Buffy called out, making them both look. "Now there's my favorite slayer!" Angelus called, looking at her, licking his fangs.

"Buffy, what are you doing? He's mine!" Agatha called. Angelus punched her, throwing her away across the room.

"Girls, don't fight,There's enough of me for everybody!" he gazed at Buffy and smiled. "Actually I'm a one slayer's vampire".

Buffy walked towards him. "Tonight we'll put an end to this whole story".

Angelus looked at her and smirked. "Oh yeah I know. You got a normal boyfriend now. Wonder what your ex-boy-toy would have said. In his name, I can say I'm very offended. I mean, I played it clean, had no sex, and basically no unlife either", he said, looking at her.

He ran over to her and threw her away.

Buffy hit the floor hard on her back, her right knee pulled up to her chest. Angelus walked over and crouched over her, holding himself up with his arms and grinning down at her. "Oh I like this position, don't you?" She threw Angelus over her head using her leg. He flipped backward and landed flat on his back. Buffy did a kick-up, and brought herself up to a standing position, Agatha watched her in awe. Buffy spun around to face Angelus as he got up on his feet. He lunged at her with a wide punch, but she ducked it.

She came up behind him, and he turned around to face her.

He tried a left-hand punch, but she blocked it and flew into a half spinning in to out crescent kick. Angelus ducked it, but she knocked him off his feet, spinning downwards with a back leg sweep. Angelus growled and got up, laughing. "You're good", he turned over to the new slayer. "See kiddo, that's after 5 years in the business", he surprised Buffy with a kick to her face which dazed her and brought her down to her knees.

He pulled her up close to him and smacked his lips over hers quickly. He hit her hard in the head, making her fall before she could respond. He was planning on grabbing her the same way he defeated Faith, but Agatha threw a net over him and he tripped and fell.

The younger slayer chained his arms to the wall. He was back in his human form now.

"Now I get to play some!" she said taking out a cross. Angelus hissed.

Buffy shook her head and got up dizzily.

She saw Agatha willing to torture Angel with the cross.

"No!" she called and grabbed the cross from the girl's hand, throwing it away.

"What? Are you crazy?" Agatha protested and took out her stake.

"Let me", Buffy said and took the stake.

Angelus smirked and looked at her. "C'mon Buff. Kill me", he stopped grinning. "If you can".

Buffy moved closer to him, standing on her toes so she was closer to his face. "Oh I can, and I will. And not only that..."

She touched his lips. He let out a sigh.

She kissed him softly, her tongue prodding at his lips. He let her invade his mouth and closed his eyes, giving in to the painful passion. She let go of him and they locked their eyes over each other.

"That's what Angel had and you can die knowing you'll never have it", she said taking out her stake.
