Title: Begin at the Beginning
Author's Notes: This is AU. Taking place in the Wishverse, but I've changed a few things to suit my purposes. This one's for you Gina
_______________________
Buffy sat in a particularly empty part of the bus. Not of her own choosing. When she boarded there had been several people in the seats around her, but as the ride wore it they all seemed to congrugate near the front.
It might have been the fierce frown on her face, or the soft growls she uttered everytime someone walked past her to go to the bathroom. She didn't really care which it was. She had a job to do, and she was going to Sunnydale to do it. And if no one wanted to sit next to her, well fuck them.
Buffy took in the scenery, her expression never changing. Long stretches of forest gave way to small towns and little cities. Quickly becoming bored with the repetitive scenery Buffy half dozed.
Sometime later the bus began to slow, pulling into it's last transfer. Buffy came away quickly, grabbing her things and departed the bus, looking for the 13. The one that would carry her into the heart of Sunnydale.
She walked purposely through the bus station, ignoring the odd looks and random whispers she recieved, striding as she was, her clothing torn and dirty, with two large duffel bags, bulging at being overfilled.
"Where's the 13?" Buffy asked the bus attendant, interrupting his conversation with another rider.
"Oh you don't want that bus hun. Goes into Sunnydale. You don't wanna be loose in that town at night. All sorts of freaks running around"
"Where's the 13" Buffy repeated letting a bit of her aggression into her voice.
"Third corridor down, first bus on your right" the attendant supplied giving Buffy a dirty look "It leaves in 5 minutes you better hurry"
Buffy grunted her thanks before striding off to the third corridor. Suddenly she stopped, feeling eyes on her back. Not the eyes of the normal passerby, which had been booring into her back since she departed from Cleveland. But of a gaze so focused it actually set her senses on alert.
For the first time since becoming a slayer, Buffy felt not like the predator. But like the prey.
She let her gaze flicker around the station, but nothing and no one caught her eye. Shrugging the feeling off she continued to Bus 13.
She calmly surveyed the bus as the driver checked her ticket. It was nearly empty boasting only five ocupants besides herself.
She quietly made her way through, heading for the back. She'd just taken her isolated seat when the bus shook.
"Let go of me!" a young girls voice called out "Let go. No!"
The driver moved out of his seat quickly and grabbed something just out of Buffy's sight, halfway down the stairs.
"Let go sir, or I'll be forced to call the police" he said calmly tugging at something.
"Fuck you" an older mans voice rang out "She ain't runnin' away this time"
Buffy sighed in anger, this little tiff was holding her up. Pushing out of her seat she quickly made her way to the front. None to gently she removed the driver from the predicament.
A middle aged man, unkept and over-weight held tightly to a girl a little younger than Buffy herself. The girls face was screwed up as she tried to tug her arm from the bruising hold the man had on her.
"Let her go" Buffy stated flatly staring at the man with malice in her eyes.
"Fuck you too bitch" the man slurred tugging hard and almost pulling the girl off the bus.
Buffy sighed deeply "Ok the hard way" stepping down she wrapped her arm around the girls middle, and used the heel of her other hand against the man forehead, sending him stumbling backwards to fall flat on his ass.
The driver quickly shut the door and stepped on the gas. Both girls stumbled to the side with the immediate momentum. Buffy caught herself on the side seat, cradling to girl to keep her from falling.
They hurried up the two steps, Buffy squeezing past the girl to regain her seat.
"This bus goes to Sunnydale little lady" the driver informed the girl.
"I don't care. Anywhere's better than with him" the girl muttered, also making her way to the back. Stopping next to Buffy's seat she waited for the girl to acknowledge her "Thank you" she said softly before continuing to the back.
Buffy nodded at the 'thank you' before turning to look out the window. A long stretch of highway lay before them. The only scenery being dirt and the occasional dead bush.
Well atleast it was a little different.

Giles paced the library, a demon text in both hands and the phone clutched between his neck and shoulder.
"What do you mean you don't know if she got the message?" Giles snapped at his fellow Watcher angrily "She's your slayer don't you keep in contact with her?"
# She's a bit of a wildcard, Buffy. She tends to show up where's she's needed whether I call her or not # Merrick assured Giles.
"Well she's not here!" Giles growled "And she's 'needed'. So I suggest.."
# Wait a seconds Rupert I have another call # Merrick cut him off mid-rant.
"The nerve" Giles took offense. Tossing one of the useless texts to the floor he concentrated on the other.
# She's in Sunnydale Giles. She just called me fron the bus station for your address. I told her to go to the High School # Merrick sounded triumphant.
"Thank you" Giles tried to sound sincere while rolling his eyes "Let's just hope she's not too late to stop this"
# My prayers are with you Rupert # Merrick sighed before the line went dead.
"My prayers always are" Giles muttered hanging up as well.

Buffy wondered for the third time what she'd gotten herself into. After calling her Watcher all she had left to do was to find a room.
When she spun away from the payphone she nearly ran into the girl she'd saved on the bus.
"Sorry" the girl muttered before stepping out of Buffy's way. She grabbed the dangling phonebook and began to flip through it.
"You got family here?" Buffy asked not really knowing why she cared.
"No, looking for the nearest motel" the girl said without looking up.
"Two blocks down. It's 18 bucks a night" Buffy informed her grabbing her bags "I'm heading that way, I'll walk you. It's not safe out here alone at night"
"I'm Faith" the girl offered her hand.
"Buffy" the slayer nodded to her, ignoring the hand "Come on"
Faith watched the girl walk away. She looked down at her own hand, which was slightly sweaty. She wiped in her on black shirt, and followed.
_____________________
Buffy looked around the motel room. Luxury it was not. Actually shitty would have been a better description for it. But it had a bad, a bath, and a girl she'd rescued earlier that evening.
"Tell me again how you expected to rent a room when you have 'no' money at all?" the blonde shot the younger girl a withering look.
"I was kinda hoping to follow you around. Possibly annoy you a bit" the brunette joked from the bed.
"Annoy me and I'll throw your ass out" Buffy informed her with no humor at all.
"Okay" Faith bit her lip and looked around, not quite sure what to do now that she had shelter. The blonde was obviously not used to company. But she was generous. Sort of.
"Do you cook?"
The question hung in the air for a moment before Faith realized she'd been spoken to.
"Uh a little. And I can clean. Whatever you want me to do" she shrugged "He made me do all sorts of stuff"
Buffy made an uninterested sound "Well I gotta go meet someone about something. You stay here" she ordered "Don't step a foot out of this room, and don't let anyone in. Hell if someone knocks don't answer at all"
Faith nodded finding the commands weird, but after all it was her room "What about food?"
"I'll bring you something" Buffy muttered as she dug through her green duffel bag.
Faith took a moment to look the other girl over.
She was a bit on the small side, maybe a half inch or so taller than Faith, holding on to the 'grunge' look with a vengance. Her pants were baggy and nearly colorless. The shirt was stained, but clean, her shoes well worn. But the blonde hair was clean, no tangles, and her skin was flawless. In short, even with her complete lack for fashion, the girl was beautiful, scarred face and all.
Buffy felt the focused gaze as she had earlier in the bus station. She looked up to find 'Faith' staring at her in consideration "Got a problem?" she fairly growled at the girl.
"No, just...staring into space" Faith lied, she didn't want to piss her off.
Buffy frowned, the actions causing the skin around the scar to pull, unconsciously she touched her lip before snarling at the girl "I'll be back later, I have a key, don't open the door and don't talk to 'anyone' understand?"
"Yep, stay put, shut up, and ignore the outside world" Faith said cheerfully as she kicked her legs.
"Right" grabbing two stakes and quickly pocketing them, she grabbed her favorite dagger and left the room.
"Weird girl, not to social, but nice enough" Faith muttered to herself.

Giles paced back in forth across the floor of the school's library. Stopping from time to time he'd switch books to cross reference a certain statement of paragraph. So caught up in what he was doing he was surprised to look up and find a grungy looking young woman standing just inside the double doors.
"Oh I'm sorry can I help you?" he stammered out after jumping nearly a foot in the air in surprise.
"You should pay attention to your surroundings. Distractions could get you killed" Buffy said in greeting "I'm the slayer. How can 'I' help 'you'?"
