************

Buffy had been dreaming of her and Faith, she could feel Faith’s lips on her own, gently caressing her. As she became more aware she realised that Faith was actually kissing her, she was waking her up like she had done the day before. Buffy felt as all her nerves began to dance, her toes curled as she felt the full lips descending onto hers.

“Mmmm morning.” She sighed.

“Morning B.” Faith said smiling at her girlfriend.

“I could definitely get used to this.” Buffy looked into her girlfriends’ eyes.

“Good cos I plan on waking you up for quite some time.” Faith replied. “I hate to do this, but I gotta get up, I promised K I’d help her with the training today.” She told the blond.

“How long do we have before you have to go?” Buffy pouted.

“’Bout ten minutes.” Faith offered. Buffy pouted harder and looked deep into the other slayers’ eyes.

“No B, don’t do the eyes, not the eyes B, I’m not looking.” Faith scrambled.

“Ok so stop wasting time and kiss me already.” Buffy giggled.

Faith smiled at the petite slayer but did as she was told, she lowered herself and caught Buffy in a smouldering embrace. When the need for air became an issue they broke apart.

“I have to go.” Faith stated.

“Ok, but will I see you for lunch?” Buffy asked.

“Depends on what ya got to eat?” Faith replied wiggling her eyebrows.

“Oh I dunno, maybe a little me maybe a little you.” Buffy grinned.

“It’s a date.” Faith answered as she stood from the bed and made her way to the bathroom.

She quickly took a shower and dressed into some sweats and t-shirt and made her way to meet Kennedy and the SIT’s for the mornings training session.

Buffy laid in bed for a while after Faith had left, she was still trying to complete a coherent thought, but they all ended up at the same place, her and Faith, naked Faith, moaning Faith, she just couldn’t get the girl out of her head.

She was brought out of her revere with a knock at the apartment door. “Who is it?” She called as she slipped on her robe.

“It’s me Buff.” A small voice called from the other side.

“Hey Will.” Buffy greeted her best friend.

“Hey you. I see some ones happy today.” Noticing her friends goofy grin.

“Yep, how’d ya tell?” Buffy replied smiling wider.

“Oh I dunno, perhaps it’s something to do with the fact that even though it’s early you’re smiling.” Willow offered in response to her friend who normally hated this time of day.

“That obvious huh.”

“No not really, a blind man might have trouble though.” Willow giggled.

Buffy invited her friend in while she got ready for the day ahead. Soon she had joined Willow in the kitchen. Willow handed her a cup of coffee as she entered the room.

“Oh Will you’re a saviour.” She smiled as she accepted the offering.

“So, how’s things?” Willow enquired.

“Things are good.” Buffy replied knowing that her friend wanted some gossip.

“Come on Buff, ya gotta tell me more than that, you’re grinning like a teenager who just got asked to the prom.” Willow pushed her friend. “So how’s the taking it slow thing going.”

“It’s really hard Will, when I’m with her, shit when I’m not with her I just wanna rip her clothes off.” Buffy replied blushing.

“So plenty of mind candy going on up there huh?” Willow asked pointing to the top of Buffy’s head.

“Mind candy, eye candy, body candy, any kinda candy you can think of is going on here.” Buffy exclaimed.

“Oh poor Buffy!” Willow giggled.

“Hey it’s not funny. I really want this to work between us and I’m scared I’ll make her rush into something she’s not ready for.” Buffy stated concerned.

“Buff, stop worrying about when it’s gonna happen. When she’s ready you’ll know, just enjoy whatever you got now.” Willow offered.

“Enjoy! Will, I’ve never felt anything so intense, fuck she makes me feel good.” Buffy replied wistfully remembering last nights make out session.

“Really. Oh please tell me more.” Willow enquired.

“Uh ah, nope, that’s between me and Faith, but I will ask you this, did you know it’s possible to orgasm without even being touched?” She wiggled her eyebrows.

“Huh!” Willow replied blushing a little.

“Anyway Will, I’m sure you didn’t come here just for the gossip. What’s the what?” Buffy asked her friend trying to change the subject, she was having a hard enough time trying to concentrate without reliving last nights experience.

“I came to tell you that Faith’s Harley will be delivered on Friday not Saturday.” Willow stated.

“Cool, but she can’t see it ‘till Saturday, at least ‘till the other cars arrive.” Buffy told her friend.

“What d’you want to do then, where can we hide it?” Willow asked the blond.

“Well we’ll keep her busy all day and we can hide it in the garage till we’re ready.” Buffy answered smiling at her solution. She wanted the Harley to be a surprise for her girlfriend.

“So what we gonna do to keep her busy?” Willow winked.

“Mmmm leave that to me.” Buffy giggled.

Willow left the conversation at that. She informed the slayer that she was going to do some more research on their nellmellmouth. Buffy offered to help so Willow accepted.

They made their way down to join some of the other Sces ies in the library. Xander and Andrew were already waiting for them, Giles and Dawn were once again studying the SIT’s training.

“Hey guys.” Buffy called as they entered the library.

“Hey Buff, hey Will.” Xander called back as Andrew waved from the table they were sat by.

“So what we looking for?” Buffy asked walking over to them.

Xander handed her one of the books from the table. “Well we’re trying to see if there’s any similarity in the attempts to open this Hellmouth.” He informed her. Buffy raised her eyebrows questioningly.

“Hey, I’m only telling ya what Giles told me this morning before him and Dawn went to watch a gang a girls gettn all sweaty.” He grinned.

“Xander you never change.” Willow giggled at her friend.

Soon they were all sitting and reading from the assortment of books and documents they had managed to procure. Andrew and Willow were busy looking through the back dated local papers trying to locate anything that may have a supernatural connection.

They had found the usual dead bodies with strange markings on the neck and the usual vampire type stuff, but they hadn’t come across much else. Buffy and Xander were going through some of the saved watcher’s council books. There was quite a lot of information in them. They detailed different sightings of an assortment of demons non none of them seemed to have the capability to take over a small town let alone open a Hellmouth.

“This is taking forever.” Andrew stated breaking the silence that had befallen them.

“I agree, anyone for refreshments?” Xander asked standing and stretching a little.

“Yeah I could do with a drink or something, I’ll help if ya like?” Buffy offered standing.

“Great, Will, Andrew you want something?” Xander asked the other two.

“I’ll have a coke.” Willow smiled.

“Can I get a chocolate shake?” Andrew asked.

“Sure, we’ll be right back.” Buffy replied following Xander towards the kitchen.

The entered the kitchen and started preparing the drinks. “So Buff, how are things between you and Faith?” Xander asked his best friend.

“Well if I said wow, would that answer it for you.” Buffy replied with a huge dreamy smile.

“What’s wow?” A familiar voice asked. Buffy turned around to see her girlfriend enter the kitchen, she couldn’t help but stare at her, she was all sweaty andked ked extremely hot.

“Uh, ah, um what?” Buffy tried.

“I said what’s wow?” Faith repeated her question walking towards the blond.

“That would be you two.” Xander answered for the speechless blond.

“Is that right?” Faith replied moving to kiss her girlfriend.

“Uh huh.” Buffy offered as she felt Faith’s lips brush her own. She was still trying to focus on anything other than Faith’s toned body that was glistening with sweat, she followed a bead of sweat that was making its way down the front of Faith’s cleavage.

Faith could see the look in Buffy’s eyes and delighted in the response the blonde’s face was having. She subtly crossed her arms under her breasts and lifted them a little, she heard as Buffy sighed.

“See something ya like?” Faith teased her partner, Buffy shook her head trying to clear it as she looked up at the beautiful woman in front of her.

“Oh yeah!” She confirmed.

“Ah I’ll see you back in the library.” Xander said as he cleared his throat, he couldn’t stand another minute watching the display of hormones that were definitely bouncing between the two slayers, he needed to cool off and stop the wicked scenes playing out in his head. ‘Every man’s fantasy.’ He thought to himself.

As soon as he left the kitchen Faith pulled Buffy into a passionate embrace, Buffy responded and quickly grabbed her girlfriends butt. Faith moaned into Buffy’s mouth as the blond continued to knead her ass.

“I missed you.” Faith spoke as the pulled away.

“I missed you more.” Buffy smiled.

“What you been doin?” Faith asked still with her arms around Buffy’s waist.

“Researching.” Buffy answered rolling her eyes.

“Well ya could come and get all sweaty and hot with me?” Faith replied wiggling her eyebrows.

“Yeah but I don’t fancy having an audience of kids.” Buffy pouted.

“I can understand that. But there’s no reason we can’t get all wet later.” Faith replied with a lopsided grin.

“Ok ya gotta date.” Buffy replied hitting the brunette on the ass.

“Hey watch the merchandise.” Faith chided.

“Oh don’t worry I am.” Buffy stated letting her eyes drift along the well-formed curves in front of her.

Faith blushed a little as Buffy’s eyes travelled over her body, she wasn’t used to someone appreciating her. She felt really sexy for once, she always tried to portray a confident image but she was really insecure. She felt amazing around the blond and the blond gave her no reason to feel that she didn’t fit in her own skin, she loved the way the petite slayer made her feel.

“I have to get back to the others.” She stated with a small pout.

“Aww baby.” Buffy stuck out her bottom lip mocking Faith’s expression.

“See ya for lunch?” Faith asked.

“You bet.” Buffy smiled and moved in for another kiss.

When they finally broke apart Buffy made her way back into the library leaving Faith dumbstruck in the kitchen.

Buffy bounced back through the library doors with a silly grin on her face.

“You saw Faith then.” The red head smiled at her.

“Yep.” Buffy replied smiling broadly.

She sat down and they all continued with their research, it was approaching lunch time when Giles and Dawn joined them. They positioned themselves away from the others and began to discuss the different SIT’s they had observed.

They were writing all the SIT’s names onto a board in the library, then as they reviewed different things began to place each name into groups. They were trying to ascertain the best and the worst of them, they wanted to ensure that each girl received the correct training. They were trying to work out a grading system for them, each grade would specify the level where the individual was at that moment.

They ended up with three groups, the top grade consisted of only four of the SIT’s the other two groups held the other ten, four in one and six in the other. The top grade SIT’s were deemed as the best fighters, they seemed to be able to hone their natural ability, the second grade held girls of a similar category but these girls struggled with some of the more strenuous training exercises.

The last group mainly consisted of the younger SIT’s, they were not quite developed enough, they lacked in strength and the mental prowess that the slayer had to posses.

“Hey guys what you doing?” Buffy asked wanting an explanation of why there were three different lists.

“Well, I’ll let Dawn explain, it was her idea.” Giles offered with a small smile at the young Summers’ girl.

Dawn beamed. “I was watching the girls training and I could see that not all of them were doing so good.” She started her idea. “I wanted to see which were the better fighters, that way we can give the ones who need it more attention.” She finished waiting for the response from her sister.

“Hey good idea Dawnie.” Buffy smiled at her sister, she was happy that her sister was taking such a big step into the watcher thing that they had discussed and she seemed to be really enjoying herself.

“Yeah Dawn, good one, are you gonna work out a training plan or something.” Andrew asked joining the conversation.

“Well I need to work with Buffy and Faith on it, but yeah I was hoping to.” Dawn replied looking at her sister for approval. Buffy walked over and hugged her.

“Sure we’ll help. The quicker we can get these girls trained the quicker we can start looking for the other slayers.” Buffy replied.

“Oh we’ve thought of that to.” Giles offered.

“Thought of a lot there huh?” Buffy smiled.

“Well I was talking to Robin, and we’ve decided that he will be our reconnaissance man, we already have information on a couple of girls, he’s going to see if he can find them.” Giles relayed their plan.

“I thought he wanted to stay here?” Buffy sort of questioned.

“Well he told me that as all of us already have a role in this he decided he would be best suited to the travel, he won’t have to worry about checking in all the time as you know the rest of us would do.” Giles offered as way of explanation.

“When’s he going?” Willow asked.

“In two or three days, the girls we have information on are currently being held in some kind of Juvenile Home, they were taken there when they started attacking people in the street claiming that they were monsters.” Giles replied.

“Oh yeah they must be getting the dreams and stuff, they’ll have no idea what’s going on.” Xander interrupted.

“Yes quite, that is why we have to act now.” The English man spoke in a firm tone.

“I agree Giles, so what other information do we have about the other slayers I mean?” Buffy asked her watcher.

“Not much I’m afraid, I’ve kept in touch with Angel and I’m trying to track some of the remaining members of the watchers council, some of them may already have girls in their care.” Giles stated hopefully.

“I don’t like the idea of them being with the members of the ‘old council’.” Willow stated.

“Neither do I, but if I can get word to them I think they will join with us, many of the ones that are left are decent people, they haven’t had too many dealings with the old council to have been corrupted.” He spoke gently to the witch.

“Hey Will, couldn’t you do like a locatspelspell or something.” Buffy asked turning to her friend.

“Yeah I could, but the problem is that I don’t know how many there are so it wouldn’t work properly, but I can sense them I can feel if any are near but I’m afraid that’s all.” The red head shrugged a little.

“Is there any way we can find out how many there are?” Xander asked turning back to the watcher.

“I’m not sure Xander, we have many books and records to look through, much of the council’s data on potential sla was was destroyed but I’m hoping that we can work something out, get some kind of perspective of the number we’re going to be dealing with.” Giles answered the younger man.

“Looks like it’s back to the research.” Xander sighed.

They were all moving back to the table when Kennedy and Faith came in. “Hey guys what’s the what.” Kennedy called as they closed the gap between them.

“Hey.” Willow smiled at her girlfriend. “We were just discussing how to go about training the SIT’s here and how to find the remaining ones out there.” She replied waving her arm and pointing out the window.

“And?” Faith inquired.

“And nothing, we just have a lot of research to do.” Willow replied.

Faith walked up to the table and sat next to Buffy, she smiled sweetly at her girlfriend. “You ready for lunch?” She asked.

“Yeah I’m starved.” Buffy replied.

They both stood and made their way out of the library, as they walked they instinctively ed hed hands, they didn’t have to look to find the other it was as if they had an inbuilt tracking system or something.

“Oh aren’t they cute.” Dawn giggled to the remaining Scoobies.

“Yeah.” Andrew said dreamily, he wished that he could find someone, he had always managed to fall for the wrong guys. He still hadn’t forgiven himself for believing that Warren would care about him.

Willow and Kennedy were next to leave the group they were shortly followed by Andrew and Xander.

“Hey Dawn, you wanna join us?” Xander called to the teen.

“Yeah I’d love to, Giles?” She questioned.

“No, no you go ahead I want to finish up here and I’ll join you later.” He answered.

Buffy and Faith had decided to have a picnic lunch on the roof, it had become a sort of sanctuary for both of them it was the only place in the house that they felt truly alone, well other than their apartments.

“Mmm this is nice.” Buffy sighed leaning back against her girlfriend. Faith tightened her hold on the smaller slayer.

“Yeah, it’s so peaceful up here, you wouldn’t guess we had a hoard of teenagers down there.” Faith agreed.

“D’you have more training today?” Buffy asked turning her head so she could look at the brunette.

“Na, I told Ken she’d have to struggle on her own cos I had something more important to be doing.” She answered.

“And what would that be?” Buffy asked raising her eyebrows.

“Oh I dunno, making out with a really cute blond I know.” Faith smiled.

“Mmmm, do I know this blond?” Buffy teased.

“I’m not sure, I think you might, she has long gorgeous blond hair, a smile to die for and wow what a body and that ass, lemme just say wow.” Faith winked.

“I think I do know her yunno.” Buffy smiled and kissed the brunette.

They spent the rest of the afternoon snuggled up together on the roof, they made out a little but nothing to heavy, how they both managed to stop themselves was a mystery but they did it.

As the sun started to set they decided it was time to make their way back inside. They were both on patrol duty tonight and had to select a team of SIT’s to accompany them. They were going to take two groups out tonight and were going to patrol a different part of town. They had patrolled as one unit up until now but had come to the conclusion that the SIT’s were only following the slayers and not taking the initiative.

They thought that if only one slayer accompanied a group then the chances of the SIT’s spotting the trouble first was higher. When the selection had been made, Faith kissed Buffy as she led her group out of the house. Buffy followed not long after, they had allocated each group a selection of ally-ways and cemeteries to patrol, that way neither group could influence the other.

Buffy had chosen some of the younger slayers, and was taking them to the quiet part of town, she needed to assess their abilities for Dawn but didn’t want to put them in too much danger. Faith however had the top grade slayers and they were headed for the busier area of town.

Faith’s group had already been through the cemeteries and hadn’t come across anything, they had observed the fresh graves for a while but decided that these corpses weren’t going to rise. As they were walking towards some of the ally ways Faith felt the familiar tingle on the back of her neck, she glanced at the girls and saw that they all had a confused look on they faces. She let them continue walking for a little trying to work out how many vamps they were going to have to deal with. The tingle hadn’t got much stronger as they approached the ally way so she knew there could only be two or three at the most.

She watched as Lennie moved her arm around her back and placed her hand on her stake that was pushed into the back of her pants. She could then see the others follow suit. She was impressedt tht they had all sensed the danger she slowed her pace a little and allowed the SIT’s to move in front of her.

As they rounded the corner they were confronted by three vampires, by the look of them Faith could see that they were only a few months old, she decided to stay back and let the girls deal with them.

The SIT’s moved forward and began to battle, two of them automatically went to take on what seemed the stronger of the vampires while the other two went one on one with the remainder.

Faith watched carefully as the fight continued, she watched as Lennie backed her vamp into a corner but had a little trouble finishing him off, she was about to help when she saw the blond elbow the vamp hard in the face and while he grabbed at his now broken nose she drove the stake home. Without thinking Lennie turned to help Tammy who was also fighting a vampire on her own, Lennie managed to blind side the vamp and in doing so gave Tammy the opening that she needed and she too drove her stake firmly home. The two girls high fived and Faith couldn’t help but smile at the pair.

Finally the two fighting the stronger of the vampires had managed to become a great tag team, the vampire didn’t have chance to recover from one blow before the other hit. She watched as they circled him stakes at the ready, when he swung out lamely at Vi, Rhona thrust her stake at his back and hit the heart with one easy strike.

“WoooHooo!” Rhona cried as the soon to become familiar poof was heard.

“Yeah!” The others cried punching their fists in the air.

Faith didn’t move or congratulate the girls, she had a point to make.

“Hey why ain’t you celebratin with us?” Lennie asked.

“While you celebrate your senses are down, any number of vamps could have crept up on you while you were fighting, never ever let your guard down, it doesn’t matter how controlled ya think a situation is, there’s always something that can go wrong.” She explained. The girls didn’t know about her killing Finch that night, but she had learned a valuable lesson, while she had been in prison she had tried to hone her senses as best she could. At the end she could even tell which prison guard was sitting in the office at the end of the landing just by her hearing and sense of smell.

She wanted the younger girls to use the skills they had and not just assume that when they beat the vamp in front of them that there wouldn’t be another waiting close by to take it’s place.

“Ya gotta concentrate while you’re out here, you can have a party when ya get home if ya like, but out here always be alert.” She finished.

With nods of agreement and understanding the girls gathered their things and made their way back home. They were still overjoyed that they had managed to defeat the three vamp’s without Faith having to step in but they also managed to calm themselves enough to concentrate on their surroundings.

They made it home safely with no other encounters and were taken by Giles for a debriefing session. The SIT’s also had to take note of the vampires they killed so that a full catalogue of events could be recorded.

Faith waited in the sitting room for Buffy’s group to arrive home. Soon enough the blond slayer arrived with a frightened gang of girls in tow, she directed them all to the library for debriefing and joined Faith in the sitting room.

“Hey.” Buffy called as she moved to sit on Faith’s lap.

“Hey how was your night.” Faith asked kissing the blond.

“Well we had two newbies, they were ok with the first cos he hadn’t even made it out of the grave, but they had a little trouble with the second, I swear he looked like a big pin cushion by the time one of them managed to find the right place.” She explained with a sigh.

“Their aim off huh?” Faith giggled.

“I think I coulda painted a target on him and they still woulda missed.” Buffy stated. “And how was your night?” She asked.

“Not bad actually, they did really well, I think with a little more training they’ll be able to patrol without us.” Faith stated cheerfully.

“So did ya miss me?” Buffy grinned.

“Well I did have a really busy night.” Faith teased Buffy poking her in the ribs. “Of course I missed you.” Faith replied laughing.

“You ready to go up?” Buffy asked yawning.

“Yeah, you want me to carry you, only you are getting a little old.” Faith teased again.

“Hey less of the old you, you’re not that far behind ya know.” Buffy huffed. “But yeah ya can carry me if ya like.” She replied yawning again.

Buffy stood from Faith’s lap and helped Faith up, she was quickly swept off her feet as the brunette lifted her. They made their way to the elevator and stepped in, as the doors slid shut Buffy began to nibble at Faith’s ear.

“Hey no fair.” The brunette pouted, her knees were becoming weak with every movement of the blonde’s mouth on her.

“You offered to carry me, I can’t help that you’re irresistible.” Buffy replied huskily into Faith’s ear.

“Mmmm.” Was Faith’s only reply.

Somehow Faith managed to get them into her apartment without dropping the older slayer. She walked them directly into the bedroom and dropped Buffy onto the bed. She kissed the other slayer deeply then turned around and walked into the bathroom. Buffy lay on the bed a little stunned at the kiss but also knew that this was ‘cool down’ time before they got into bed.

They settled in for another wonderful sleep together.
