‘Buffy have you gone insane?’ Willow’s angry voice could be heard in the kitchen where Faith, Dawn and Tara sat apprehensively.

‘So you’re Faith.’ Dawn said.

‘What they call me.’ Faith said with a smirk.

‘Buffy’s said your name in her sleep before. I asked herut iut it once but she wouldn’t say anything.’

‘So they didn’t tell you about me?’

‘Nope. So what did you do?’ Faith looked at Dawn.

‘It’s probably better if you don’t know.’ Faith’s eyes averted towards the direction Buffy and Willows voices could be heard.

‘She tried to kill us!’ Willow screamed. Both Dawn and Tara looked at Faith.

‘Ok, where do I begin?’

*******



‘Look Will, calm down she can hear you.’

‘I don’t care if she can hear me!’ She yelled in the direction of the kitchen.

‘I know you’re upset.’

‘Upset? I’m so past upset I’m…..I’m…. there’s not even a word for it.’

‘Ok, I understand. Just try to calm down.’ Buffy took a step towards her.

‘How can I calm down when there’s a traitor and a murderer in the house!’

‘Ok, sit down now.’ She gently pushed Willow down on the couch. ‘Now stay.’ She paced back and forth a few times before stopping and kneeling down in front of her friend. ‘Will, I know you’re good person, and I know you’re really upset right now, but you have to listen to me. She needs a chance.’ Willow started to say something but Buffy stopped her. ‘Look, she’s spent her time in jail and just wants a second chance. That’s all, she’s not asking for forgiveness, just a chance, which we all deserve sometimes. Now I know you’ll do the right thing because you’re a good person. Maybe you, Dawn and Tara should go out for awhile and calm down, ok?’ The witch looked at her a moment.

‘I’m not making any promises.’ She said finally.

‘Just as long as you don’t try to kill her.’ Buffy smiled a little.

‘What if she tries to kill me?’

‘She wont.’

‘How can you be so sure?’

‘Because I…….. I just am.’

‘Fine then.’ Willow stood up and stomped towards the kitchen. ‘Dawnie, Tara, lets go.’ She glared at Faith as she walked by and out the door. The other two girls looked at Buffy in confusion.

‘You two go calm her down, please?’ Buffy pleaded.

‘It’s been nice meeting you.’ Tara said quietly, smiling as she left.

‘Yeah me too. Later.’ Dawn called going out the door.

‘You doing ok?’ Buffy sat down next to Faith.

‘5 by 5 B.’ She grinned making Buffy smile a little.

‘She’ll calm down after awhile.’ The blond slayer looked down at the counter top.

‘Cool sis you got there B.’ Faith said.

‘Look Faith I just…’ Faith put a finger up to the blonds lips.

‘It’s all cool. I know they’re not gonna like me. I mean I want them to, but I’d rather you like me.’ She growled. ‘I don’t think I’m saying this right.’ Buffy took Faith’s hand in hers.

‘We can get through this. I know I’m a little confused right now. This is all happening so fast. I mean I thought that the next time I saw you one of us would end up dead. But that’s not what I feel anymore. I keep thinking…….. I keep thinking I’m supposed to be hating you, not wanting you to kiss me.’ She almost whispered, still not quite making eye contact with Faith.

‘You want me to kiss you?’ Faith grinned. ‘I think I can do that.’ Leaning forward she kissed Buffy’s smiling lips softly, then when she felt the other girl react, she kissed her harder, thrusting her ue iue into the blonds mouth. Buffy’s hands grabbed Faith’s waist, pulling her closer, out of her chair and standing before her. Faith’s fingers grabbed Buffy’s hair, pulling her closer as well. ‘Shit this feels good.’ Faith gasped when they had stopped, her forehead resting on the smaller slayer’s. Both girls were breathing hard. ‘How come we didn’t figure this out sooner would have saved us a lot of trouble.’

‘I don’t know, but I’m glad we finally got here.’



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

Walking down the street, Faith wasn’t sure if she was supposed to hold Buffy’s hand or something. She was never much for being touchy feely, but she had to admit it, she wanted to always feel Buffy’s skin against hers. Opting to thrust her hands in her pockets instead, she smiled at the older girl when she wasn’t looking. The sun seemed to make her just glow, almost heavenly. ‘God, B looks like an angel.’ She tried to shake the thoughts from her mind. ‘Shit, what am I turning into here?’ Buffy looked over at her and smiled. ‘God I want her right now.’ Reaching out she grabbed the blond and pulled her to her, kissing her lips hungrily. Backing her up against a light pole, kissing her hard, feeling Buffy’s hands on her back. Then she watched as she herself pulled a stake out and thrust it into the blond. The agonized pain shown on her face as she went limp and fell to the ground. Faith screamed out. ‘Oh God B I’m so sorry.’

‘Faith wake up.’ Suddenly she was jolted awake. Buffy was crouched over her, a concerned look on her face. ‘You were having a nightmare.’ Sitting up she ran her hands through her hair as Buffy sat down beside her on the couch. ‘Are you ok, you want to talk about it?

‘No.’

‘Are you sure?’

‘5 by 5.’

‘Ok, I gotta go work.’ Faith smiled. ‘Hey someone’s gotta pay the bills.’ Faith kissed her softly on the lips. Seemed like she was different with her, being soft not rough. ‘Will you be ok here?’

‘Yeah B don’t worry.’ Buffy smiled at her standing up. ‘Nice outfit there B.’ She smirked at the uniform the blond was wearing.

‘It wasn’t my first choice.’ She said under her breath. After Buffy had left, the smile faded from Faith’s lips. Maybe she shouldn’t have come back, maybe this is all wrong.
