Happy To Bleed For You

AN: Okay I never said how long this story was ganna be. I don't want it to be too long because then it just gets kind of boring but if it is short I will make sure to get across all the important factors (and fluffyness) and this story will live up to its name and summary so fear not.

(Fpov)
"Hate...light." I grumble in a cranky voice,who the hell opened the window I wonder.

"It's morning." I crack a lid open,blinking as I adjust to the harsh...sunlight? I look around confused. Waking up with someone
next to me had never happened before,and certainly not outside on the lake...naked. It all comes rushing back to me and I feel my face heat up as I remember Sammy's kisses,her warm addicting touch,her sensual husky voice,and her expert tongue.

"Oooo," I stutter shaking my head. From behind me I hear Sammy's throaty snicker.

"Flashbacks?" I give her a questioning look. She points at my bare back,"your whole body gets red when you blush,and you tend to
shiver when you're tuned on."

"Since when are you the Faith whistler?" I ask looking around for my clothes as Sammy is already dressed and ready to go.

Sammy skips a pebble into the lake,disrupting the flat surface,"You're very interesting Faith." she says to me gracing me with
her goddess smile which painfully so makes me blush...I hate it. Sammy is about to say something but I cut her off diving at her
and knocking her to the floor. Consequently she hits her head on a pretty big rock and she looks dazed.

"What-"

"Oh how touching,the slayer and the immortal,epic."

I rip my eyes away from Sammy when I hear his voice and blood runs cold,my slayer senses kicking up into overdrive for some not
too clear reason. "You!" I snarl at the familiar brown haired guy,the dj man.

A look of disgust flashes across his face,his black eyes like a pit,so easy to get lost to. "I have a name slayer and it's not you." he snaps.

"I have one too and it's not slayer." I retort with a grunt as I push myself up to my feet.

"Right...Faith correct?"

"Asshole right?"

He snickers ruefully shaking his head like a teacher would with a disappointing child,"Buffy failed to tell me in correct detail
how annoying and hardheaded you could be. But no worries it's nothing new to me."

Buffy.

My heart skips a beat when he mentions her name. "What did you do to her?"

Dj man shruggs with a pout,flicking a lint off of his shoulder. "I didn't do anything...to her."

"Dawn." Sammy jumps to her feet at once rushing in at the man only to have him vanish into thin air. She looks around wildly
her neck swinging so fast it might actually snap.

"Ha! Not too patient are you immortal?" he voice fills the air. We both look up and find him sitting in a branch some twenty
feet high. Damn is he quick,or something because I didn't even see a blur.

"Where's Dawn!" Sammy barks kicking the tree with her shin making it snap slightly. Boy does she looked pissed.

Dj man rests his chin on two fingers looking as if he's thinking "Ah yes! The key...nope haven't seen her...but don't tell Buffy
that. She thinks the key is trapped in a cave with some evil horde of demons while she's actually just out with the damned witch
and her woman." He jumps back to the ground flashing a crooked smile. "My guess is that she'll be dead in about an hour. I know
she's the slayer but not even she can take on the coven by herself. Toodles."

"Hey come back here!" I shout but he's already gone.

"Lets go Faith." Sammy says,heading back the way we came last night. I'm not so quick to follow her though.

"I know you don't like Buffy but she's my fellow slayer and I care about her S-"

"I know you do!" she shouts in fustration. She looks torn but mostly hurt. I guess she saw my reaction to Buffy's name. But I
couldn't help it,it's not so easy to forget someone who's constantly been in your head and under your skin for the past year.
"We're going to find her." she whispers so softly that I would have missed itif it hadn't been for my slayer hearing.

She doesn't look at me and she doesn't wait for a reply,she simply stalks away with her head hanging low. A few moments pass
before I take wing and am quickly on her heels.

Stupid!

Stupid!

Stupid!

Well here was the truth,laid out plain and simple before me.

Faith still loved Buffy. And if they way Faith's eyes going wide and her mind completey blocking off everything but her name
wasn't proff enought then I don't know what the hell is. I should have known better though,the way she let Buffy drag her down
and insult her and beat her,Faith's never known anything but tough love,and that's exactly what Buffy is. And something I can
never be,not to her,not to Faith.

So Buffy was right about one thing,Faith was a get some girl definately,but she wasn't gone. Faith is trailing behind me like a
little duckling following its mother. But I know why she's following me,she knows who the coven is,and she knows that no matter
how tough she and Buffy are they're simple aren't going to cut it. And I'm the only one that has a faint idea of where the coven
might actually be.

"So...do you know where we're going?" She confirms my suspicions and my heart falls to pieces. It hurts so bad for her to say
that. Funny how I thought that she actually might be able to love me back last night...stupid heat of the moment shit.

"More or less." I reply,my voice void of all emotion. I'm trying so hard not to sound like I'm being a bitch about it so I rather sound numb than upset or angry. I can feel her staring at my back but she says nothing and neither do I.

Really what is there to say?


(Npov)

"Ken!" Dawn shrieks hitting her over the head with a shopping bag to make her stop twirling her around,she and Ken are really
good friends when Buffy's not around to make everything harder.

"All right hot stuff quit whacking me with the bag." Ken giggles placing Dawn on her feet. She really loves the kid. It's hard to believe that she's actually related to Buffy sometimes.

Dawn removes a tiny gift wrapped jewelry box from one of her bags and admires it,"Perfect."

"Whatcha got there?" Kennedy prods,floping on the couch,taking advantage now that Buffy isn't home to scold her.

'It's a present."

"For?" Ken inquires

Dawn's face turns a light shade of pink,"Faith and Sam." she answers shyly.

"Thoughtful little brat aren't you?"

"I'm just glad that Faith finally found someone who loves her for her. I know you might think it's messed up with everything she
did in past,but she deserves to be happy you know? And Sammy can definately do that for her. Isn't it funny how love works? I
mean you spend your entire life looking for someone or loving the wrong person and then suddenly they find you and they're every
thing you could possibly hope for."

Kennedy chewed on her lip,didn't she know it? She had spent her life getting used,broken,and trying to find the pieces of her
shattered heart whenever she found out that she was just a lay. Then one day out of the blue she met Willow. And without even
knowing it Willow was picking up the pieces for her.

"Tell me about it,why so insightful though Dawn?"

"Buffy. She's wasted so much time with a bunch of loss causes and then when that one person rolls around,she pushes them away
because she can't deal with it. I wonder if she'll ever find someone else."

Now Kennedy was confused and all this talk was depressing her,"But you just said Sam can make Faith happy."

"Sam can make Faith happy. I guess since Buffy's my sister I was just wishing it would have been Buffy and Faith."

Ken scoffed,"With the way Buffy's been what makes you think she wants anything more than to shove a stake through her heart?"

"That's just a cover. Buffy's been hurt too many times. And she really loves Faith,she can't deal with the thought of Faith
hurting her so she just rather be mad than get hurt."

"What makes you think like that Dawn?" Kennedy asked,surprised at how wise the younger girl really was under all her cuteness and generally annoying teenage swager.

"I've seen the way Buffy looks at Faith when she's not looking. And it's no big secret that Faith wants everything to do with
Buffy."

"Kid you're really deep. But I guess you're right. Stubborn slayers huh?"

"You got that right."



The two girls trudged through the deserted street,they were so close to just giving up but just now they had dusted a vamp after
he had shared a little information with them. Appreantly the coven was hanging at the Inferno,the demon club where dj man worked
or whatever.They turned however in the opposite direction and head west instead of east towards the club.

Faith glanced around wanting to say something,the entire day had gone by and Sammy hadn't even looked at her sice the run in
with dj back by the lake. 'Guess I really upset her.' she thought kicking a rock with her boot clad feet. Was she supposed to
say something like I'm sorry I fucked you and then jumped at the utter of Buffy's name? Was she supposed to run to her and whisk
her away in her arns tell her everything was okay then drag her off into the desert night and make sweet love to her? No. She
wasn't like that...but the desert idea wasn't such a bad one. Without realizing the ended up back by the lake,but this time Faith noticed Sammy going through an unmarked path.

"Damn I never knew SunnyD was so big as to have an entire woods out back." She said lightly,trying to break some of the very
uncomfortable silence that had been hovering over them like a black cloud for hours.

"We're here." Sammy said in her stoic voice,which was giving hers a run for her money.

"Where is her exactly?"

She motioned at the entrance of a cave deep in the side of a rock or so it looked like. "The covens' hiding spot. Vampires
always say the opposite of what they mean...I guess we have to split up from here,want the front or the back?"

"Sam-"

"Front or back?"

Faith sighed,"back I guess. Work our way to the middle?"

"Sure."

As she watched Sammy disappear into the night a twisted feeling settled into her gut,they feeling that something really wrong
was going to happen. "So much for happily ever after." She headed around to the back of the cave.


Drake howled with delight watching Raemeus beat the slayer down. It was really entertaining to watch er bleed and hear her cry
out in pain. The other two beast demons conversed amongst themselves quietly,but never taking their eyes off of the slayer.
Man,did he know how to pick the coven. Noone knew that he was in fact the leader of the coven which consisted of himself,Raemeus
Darshk,and the beast. No not the original,his brother.beast junoir as he liked to call him. Everyone thought the coven was just
a horde of about a hundred of the oldest vampires running around masacring people...man weren't they wrong.

The four of them were actually a hell of lot more leathal and effective than a bunch of bloodsuckers. No need to add the fact that Raemeus was a god of illusion,and himself a god war and misery. Darshk was a decendent of Methios one of the noble demon
lords from million years before. And the beast,well the name said it all. The real beast was known now for nearly killing one
of the chosen slayers. He probably would have done it to if it hadn't been for that stupid bloodsucking leech Angelus. Now the
younger beast was a million times worse than the him. He knew no boundaries,no limits,and when he was set to kill,there was no
stopping him. There was one setback though,unlike his brother,this beast was human and you couldn't rule him out in a crowd...
unless he went hellfire.

"Drakeus?" The beast called to him,breaking his long unnesscecary thought.

"What is it?"

"The slayer and the immortal are here."

A dark smile spread across his thin red lips,his eye flashing like fire, "Excellent."
