Chapter 1

Ethan Rayne sat at his desk trying to determine the best way to deal with the Slayer. Every time he had a plan, she got involved and put him to a stop. The warlock hated that with passion. The man needed a way to get her preoccupied so he could get his plan into action.

That very plan was in fact to take over the world, and become supreme ruler. A malevolent grin appeared on his face at the image of himself sitting on a throne. Having Rupert Giles as his jester and Buffy Summers trapped inside of a cage suspended from the ceiling.

But how could he accomplish such a feet?

He had heard things about that Slayer over the years. His time at Willy's Bar has been most satisfactory. Tales were told of a time where she was a cave woman.

There was something.

But could he do it?

Ethan got out of his brown leather chair and walked over to the bookshelf. The bookshelf was five feet tall and three feet wide. It was dissected into three shelves. The furniture was made of strong oak, and books were neatly organized according to alphabetical title.

He ran his fingers across the spines of the books. Reading them as he went along. The warlock passed a book entitled, "Greek Spells."

The man wondered if there could be something inside, so he flipped to the table of contents. Unfortunately he had no idea of which section to look under. Then he turned to the index and started to scan down the listing of words.

Nothing was found immediately. He started with the A's, but nothing. Then the B's, C's, and so on. Still nothing. Then he came to the P's, and sure enough there was a group of pages based on procession.

He read the text and soon found a subsection called, "Repossession." With a surge of energy, he opened to the desired page. He started reading for about a couple minutes and had no luck.

Nothing was working for him. Ethan sighed and was about to put the book back, but then he saw something catch his eye. A new smile spread across his face and started to read the passage.

Sure enough, a spell was found.

Cave Slayer could return.

It was all here.

But then he frowned.

What was the use of returning her, if she could stop him still as Cave Slayer? The blond warrior would still have her strength. And an uncontrollable Slayer would be ten times worse. That was something that he didn't need.

He needed something to distract her.

Something that would take up her time.

What if that something was a someone?

But who?

Rupert would be an interesting choice, but he would rather see the look on the former watcher's face when he triumphed. It would make the victory more enjoyable. The redhead would be too weak. Buffy would easily take her down, and approach him. That didn't work.

Ethan scratched his head. Then who? He remembered the boy. Could he? Something hit him then. The boy had been processed as well. The warlock read it once in the Watcher's Diaries.

The boy was once a hyena.

Hyena Boy and Cave Slayer would hold each other off, and Ethan would have the upper hand. The warlock read the spell, and soon set off to find the material he desired.

A Half Hour Later

Ethan sat Indian style at the head of a circle. In the middle of it was a fire burning. To the left was a rock and to the right was hyena hair. Rayne closed his eyes and chanted some magical words.

After the words were said, he dropped the stone and hyena hair into the fire and continued chanting. A minute passed, and soon the fire began to change color.

From the basic red, orange, yellow combination, the flame changed to purple, blue, and green. He concluded the spell with the words, "K'hiptox hano spebix hyeos faj riczo." A flash of lighting erupted, and Ethan Rayne's eye snapped open, "it is done. Time to see ole Rupert."

Magic Box Training Room
Twenty Minuets Prior

"Watch it, Buff." Xander Harris said as he dodged a right jab from his friend, "that was close."

Buffy stopped the jab from hitting him, and returned, "That's what happens when you help me train, Xander. You're bound to get hurt."

Xander sighed, "I just don't want to come home to Anya as a broken man. If I do, then she'll hurt me even more. The Xandman won't be able to take it. I know. Give me the suit we used the other day."

She smiled at him, "Sorry to dissapoint you, Xan. The suit was trashed. Somebody decided to use it as a giant paint brush, and splatter themselves over a canvas."

The young man showed a confused look, "Oh? Who was it?"

"Dawn. She used it for a school project without telling me."

"It's fine, Buffy. Don't worry. If I get hurt, Anya will make it all feel better."

Buffy smiled in response. He has truly found love, which was nice to hear about after Riley split. Ever since he did, Buffy and him been spending a ton of time together. It was like the good ole days in high school.

The two friends drifted apart since she joined college, but strangely enough the one that brought the friendship back was her mother's death. He has been there for her the whole time and Anya didn't seem to mind one bit.

That was love.

True to the kind.

And she was happy for him.

"Buff?"

Xander's voice brought her back to reality, "Yeah?"

He smiled, "Aren't we supposed to be training. I mean, I can go back to Anya if you don't need me."

She shook her head, "No, I need you. I was only thinking."

"Uh oh. That's never good."

Buffy slapped him on the back of the head, "That's not funny."

"Ow," he complained, "that hurt. Slayer strength."

The Slayer immediately responded, "Sorry. Don't know my own strength."

"Nothing broken expect my pride."

All of a sudden something started to happen. Their bodies bent over in pain. And both screamed in agony. The two bodies started to convulse.

They could feel something overcome their bodies.

Something strangely familiar to the both of them.

They're eyes flashed yellow and the minds of Buffy Summers and Xander Harris was no longer in control.

Xander slowly stood back up and looked at his surroundings. Everything seemed confusing to him. Then he saw her, "Slayer," he hissed. "Long time no see."

Buffy rolled to her feet and moved some of her blond hair from her forehead, "Head hurts." She covered it with her hand, and then saw the boy, "what happened?"

Hyena Xander didn't know. All he knew was that he was back in control after five years of absence. The hyena walked over to her and sniffed her hair, "Don't know. Don't care." His sense of smell was on fire. He loved the shampoo that cleaned her hair. It started to serve as something for him.

An aphrodisiac.

"I haven't changed my mind about you," he whispered into her ear. Then blew gently into it.

"Don't smell." Her knees started to feel weak. But soon, corrected herself. Then she shoved him off of her and he landed on the floor. Buffy pounced on him and pinned him on the ground, "I smell. Boy smells nice." Inside, her mind screamed, (Stop! Don't do this!"

The young man laughed, "I knew you'd jump my bones." (Don't do this to her. She's your friend. Anya. Remember, Anya.) he thought.

Buffy liked his smell. She wanted more, and more came.

She lowered her lips and captured his with hers in a strong kiss. Her tongue slipped through her mouth and into his giving it a swift lashing. (He's your friend. You're best friend. He's in love with Anya.) She told herself in her mind. Pleasure exploded inside Xander's mouth as she continued her conquest of conquering the hyena.

Buffy lifted her head and said, "Boy tastes good," then she continued on the kissage. She left his mouth and her hands started to tear off his shirt, "want more," she breathed out between kisses. A trail commenced down his chest. Her hands rubbing all over his strong yet muscular chest, "boy strong. I like strong." She smiled; (He does taste good. Bad Buffy. Bad. No naked Xander thoughts.)

The Slayer found herself unzipping his pants followed by his underwear as Xander started to remove her blouse. "Slayerrrrrrr," he moaned as she reached his already erected penis. She opened her mouth and consumed it quickly and made a rhythmic motion of going up and down. Faster, faster, and faster.

Soon, the boy couldn't hold out much longer, "It's starting to cum, Buffy!"

Cave Buffy removed her head from his shaft and smiled evilly, "Good." Then she returned to engulfing the dick with her mouth. The motion soon repeated as well.

Xander was getting extremely excited, "It's...it's...cumming...my...god, Slayer. It's...here." And the semen ejected out of his crown and Buffy licked it off with her tongue.

Xander unhooked her bra to reveal her milky white gorgeous breasts and cupped them rubbing the tits with his thumbs. They immediately erected as she moaned in pleasure, "Xaaaandeerrrr," then he laughed as he had her way with her. (Forgive me, please,) he begged himself. He quickly unzipped her skirt, followed by her white panties. The result was one naked beautiful Buffy Summers in his possession.

He flipped her over and he gripped her tight ass. It was a thing of beauty. Perfect in every dimension. She yelped in response with her eyes widening. The hyena then gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. Over, over, and over. From her lips, he kissed down her breast and focused on her already erect tits. While at the same time he was massaging her butt with his firm hands. He raised his head and looked at the form of the tiny cave Slayer in his grasp. She was perfection, and he had her. All to himself. He laughed in triumph.

Then the hyena took his right hand and drove the ring finger into her pussy. Letting it feel around as she moaned even more. Allowing all the juice to soak the fingers. Soon, he added another finger into her tight and firm ass, "So right. God, I want you."

"Boy has me. Take me now!" She ordered and he followed through. (I'm so sorry. So so sorry!) Buffy thought.

He raised his legs and straddled her legs. His newly erected dick jammed inside and he started to pump. Up, and down. Up, and down. Just like nature intended and she kept crying out in happiness.

As the pumping continued, he started to kiss along her neckline back to her lips. His tongue lashing hers as her body ached. It ached all over, and she loved it.

She could feel herself getting wetter and wetter as he continued to pump. Pretty soon, he ejaculated into her, and she immediately found herself relaxing. "Boy rests now, my turn."

She flipped his body around after he withdrew his wet, sweaty, long shaft. The cave woman engulfed the dick again with her mouth and started to clean up the excess semen. Soon, he was clean, and Buffy withdrew her mouth and started licking up his chest. Allowing the natural taste of Xander Harris to consume her.

Buffy forced his penis back to erection as she drove her pussy back on to it. This time instead of making him work, she started to go up and down herself. Letting the dick stay in position by itself.

He laughed even louder then before as she started to get him to cum again. Soon the laughter died as his moaning took over. "Sssslllllaaaaaaaaayeeerrrrrrr," he called out, "my.....my.....my....ma...mate. I....love.....you."

The blond withdrew her pussy as she just grabbed hold of him, intertwined her legs with his and kissed along his neckline once again, "Love boy too." She pressed her breasts against his chest and started rubbing his back.

Then the Slayer nibbled his right ear forcing Xander to kiss her neckline. At the same time, the two possessed best friends wrapped their arms around each other's torso. No one dared to let the other go.

She could feel him erect again in-between her thighs. With a glint in her hazel eyes, "Buffy want more."

Xander couldn't speak. He was out of breath but nodded.

Buffy grinned as she left his body and was about to start with another tongue lashing when something made a noise.

"Buffy, can I borrow Xander for a moment?"

Buffy and Xander exchanged glances. He flashed her set of puppy dog eyes. She looked at Anya, "Leave. Busy now."

Anya looked up at the two and covered her eyes, "I'm blind. That's it. I'm blind." Then she left the training room.

Buffy and Xander laughed, "Stupid head," she said.

Xander surprised Buffy as he lunged onto her body to continue his conquest--to satisfy Cave Slayer.

The Magic Box
Present Time

Tears started to emerge from her eyes. The love of her life was fucking his friend, and right in front of her.

A sudden bell was sounded as a man came through the door.

"Hello. Rupert in?"

Chapter 2

The ex-vengeance demon tried to compose herself, but couldn't. She couldn't stand the sight of her Xander fucking Buffy. Anya always knew there was something between them, but she didn't want to know the truth.

"Excuse me?" The man asked, "are you alright?"

Anya slowly nodded, "I'm getting there. What did you want again?"

The man smiled, "I'm looking for Rupert. I'm an old friend of his."

The young woman pointed to the research table they always used, "He's sitting right there."

"Thanks. Feel better." The man went over to Giles and placed his hands on the former watcher's shoulders, "hello, Ripper."

Giles tensed at the sound of his voice. The name he called him confirmed it. The old man laid down the newspaper and stated, "What do you want, Ethan?"

Ethan laughed as he walked over to an open chair and sat down, "Can't two old friends ever just sit down and talk."

"Usually yes, Ethan. But when one of the friends is you, then that can never happen."

Ethan placed his hand over his heart, "You wound me, Rupert. Here I am fresh out of prison, and I want to make everything right again. I miss the old days."

Giles nodded slowly, "Sure, Ethan. Let's forget about you turning me into a demon and almost having Buffy killed. Now, what do you want?"

The warlock decided to stop the charade, "Nothing much. Just want to hire you as my court jester."

The former librarian took off his glasses and rubbed them clean, "Pardon?"

The warlock returned, "Never mind, Ripper. That can wait. Tell me, how's your Slayer doing right now."

Giles showed a confused look, "She's in back training. Why?"

Ethan leaned forward and took Giles's glasses from him, "No reason. Just wondering. Tell her I give her my best." Then he got up from his seat and headed for the door, "see you in a bit."

Before Giles could get any information, the warlock left the store leaving a stumped former watcher. "What the devil does he have planned next?"

Anya finished with a customer, and walked over to him, "I don't know, Giles."

"He seemed to be interested in Buffy."

The ex-demon said under her breath, "He's not the only one. Apparently my boyfriend's totally interested in her."

Giles glanced at the brunette woman, "What do you mean by that, Anya?"

What did she mean?

Xander never felt that way about Buffy in a long time.

Could he?

He thought Anya and him were in love, "I'm sure you got nothing to worry."

Anya was enraged, "Go check on them yourself, if you want. I wouldn't recommend it. Buffy and Xander are fucking each other in there."

Giles shook his head, "That's insane, Anya. Xander loves you."

"Oh yeah," she interjected, "go check on them."

He walked over to the door to the training room and placed his hand on the doorknob. "I will. Then we can figure what the hell Ethan has planned."

The Magic Box Training Room
After Anya Left

Xander attacked her right temple kissing it ever so gently. Then he went to her left temple, right, and the left cheek, followed by the tip of her nose, her chin, and finally on her lips ever so gently allowing his tongue into her mouth.

He ran his tongue all over inside of her mouth. The hyena slid over the roof of her mouth as well as the sides. Then he continued with her tongue wrapping around it a good three times. Each time got better in taste and pressure.

She arched her head back and moaned louder and louder absorbing more of his taste. His taste became her favorite taste in all the word. (This isn't so bad. He was good. So, good.) she thought.

Xander withdrew his tongue from her mouth and went to her backside. He licked from just above her tight butt to the backbone, and finally back to the mouth--getting her as wet as she possibly could be on the outside of her body with just his tongue. (I want you, Buffy. No, I want Anya. Dear God, help me!) He took his hands again and cupped her breasts just as before, but this time was different.

Instead of just pinching or rubbing her tits, he bit gently down on them not to hurt her, but to pleasure her in only a way that a hyena could. From her tits, he licked a line down her stomach swirling it around her belly button. When he reached her groin, he inserted two fingers into her pussy.

This time with both his hands, he cupped her ass and sent the two ring fingers inside her feeling the natural moisture that Buffy was. All the time listening to her moan. It was music to his ears. He withdrew his fingers and she started to clean them off as he got ready for his next entrance.

Each finger was cleaned with care. She sucked ever so gently to enjoy the taste of her and him. The her was from her pussy, and the his was from his fingers. It was the perfect blend.

Xander smiled, "Ready?" She nodded, and he inserted his dick into her pussy again. Buffy yelped still in response. He laughed. This time allowing it to enjoy her body. No pumping just yet, just the feeling of having him inside her as their bodies became one.

He fondled her breasts again with his hands causing her tits to erect. Then he started to pump.

Slowly.

Ever so slowly.

In, and out. In, and out. Faster, and faster. Faster, and faster allowing the cum to build.

She could feel him inside her as he continued to pump. The way Xander handled his penis was so much better than she ever felt before. The Cave Slayer waited anxiously for him to ejaculate, and soon enough it did. Squirting all the way inside.

Soon, relaxation overcame his body.

Buffy used this as her advantage. She flipped him over so she could get up. "My boy. I own you. Rest."

He nodded, "So not a problem." Then she withdrew her aching pussy. The blond goddess started to rub her hands down his chest allowing her to feel him to the fullest degree.

She rubbed all the way down to his groin, and licked the extra cum, swallowing. Buffy wanted all the Xander she could afford. Cave Buffy swung on top of his legs after placing her hands on his butt getting a hold of it. He moaned in response and she smiled herself. Then she placed her hands on his shaft.

Buffy started massaging it with a firm grasp. Especially the unused cock. He stared to laugh as she rushed her hands up, and down. Up, and down as he began to moan, "Sssllllllllaaaaayeeeeeeeeer, I....I....I...wa.....wa.....want you. Nnnnooooowwwwwww!!"

She smiled seductively as she put her ass back onto his dick. She just sat there with him inside her while nibbling his ear again and licking the back of his neck getting him wet as well. Followed by his face. Kissing just as he had done to her before. "Inside, me. Now!"

Buffy started to pump herself this time. She went up, and down. Up, and down. Just as Xander did to her before. The cum building as time went on.

Moaning escaped their lips as he started to cum. She kept pumping. Faster, and faster. Feeling herself get wetter and wetter. Cave Slayer arched her back as he reached ejaculation. "God yes," she exclaimed.

Then she released his dick and crawled up his body. Their lips met went in a strong, passionate kiss. Just as fiery as the first. "I love you," she said to him.

Xander closed his eyes in bliss. "I love you, too." Then he brought her down to him allowing her breasts to touch his chest wrapping his legs around her waist, "stay," he whispered.

Buffy didn't complain. "Planned to." She wrapped her arms around his neck and laid comfortably on each other.

He unwrapped his legs and intertwined them with hers again. So, the two could sleep.

But before they could, the door opened again.

Buffy and Xander were too entranced with each other to notice.

"Dear lord. Buffy, Xander separate now. Put clothes on!" A voice demanded.

Cave Slayer glanced at her former watcher who had his hands over his eyes, "Leave now!"

Xander snarled in rage. Here he was enjoying the bliss of his Buffy, and the old man wanted them to separate. He turned to his lover and smiled evilly. Buffy knew what he was about to do.

The hyena charged Giles showing his teeth. "Get out!" He hollered as he pounced on Giles. Xander started laughing hysterically. The possessed man turned to his lover, "hungry?"

She nodded.

Giles was shocked. He remembered this behavior. He was the hyena again. Then the old man turned his head to Buffy. She was cave slayer.

All of a sudden a dart landed on Xander. He yelped, turning his attention to his assailant.

There she was.

Ayna.

She held a tranquilizer gun.

"Forgive me, Xander." Then she pressed the trigger again and the dart shot from the barrel and landed in Xander's shoulder. The hyena charged her in complete rage.

"Bitch!" He then pounced onto the ex-vengeance demon, and started to sniff her. His eyelids got heavy and started to close. He turned to Buffy who had a horrid look on her face. Xander slipped into unconsciousess on to Anya. Anya then pushed him off of her.

Buffy was enraged. Forgetting she was naked like Xander, she charged Anya, "Bad, bad, girl. Make boy hurt." Then she knelt down to Xander and placed her ear on his chest. Still alive!

Buffy wanted something.

Vengeance.

For her lover.

Anya shot again, but Buffy dodged, letting her slayer abilities come to the surface.

Giles got to his feet and grabbed hold of Buffy cautiously. "Shoot her. Twice!"

She tried to struggle, but she was too tired from her earlier activities.

"Hurry, Anya!! I can't handle her much longer!!"

Anya shot the two darts. Each one hitting the slayer. Buffy could feel her body ache. With the last source of strength, she got of Giles's grasp and fell to the ground next to her Xander--making sure that she held him.

Then she too slipped under.

Giles nodded, "Good job. Now, help me clothe them and we'll put them somewhere safe. Xander will be under for three hours. With Buffy's healing abilities, she'll be out for only an hour and a half."

In a shaky voice, Anya asked, "A-a-are they g-g-going to be okay?"

The shop owner replied, "Physically, yes. Mentally, it's going to be hard."

"What happened to them, Giles?"

"I recognized their behaviors. It appears that Buffy is acting like she did when she was drunk that time last year. As for Xander, he seems to be with the hyena again."

"Oh," was her response, "what do we do now?"

"We call Willow and Tara. They should know. That and stop Ethan. Obviously, he had something to do with this."

Anya looked at Giles who had a worried look on his face, "What's wrong?"

Giles answered honestly, "With Buffy out of commission, we might have to stop Ethan by ourselves."

"I can help."

Anya and Giles looked at each other, and then at the new visitor, "What are you doing here? We thought you were in jail, Faith." Giles said.

Chapter 3

The Dark Slayer looked at the area in front of her. Her eyes widened at the sight of the two naked bodies of Buffy and Xander, "I remember Xander having a good body. I didn't know B had one too."

Giles glared at her, anger overcoming his soul, "I'll ask you again. Why are you here?"

Faith knew this was going to be hard. Angel had helped bring her back to the side of good since her time in Los Angeles. "Apparently, Cordelia had a vision. In it you all are in danger, and that help was needed. To deal with this Ethan character."

"How did you get out of prison? Did you escape?" Anya asked the brunette.

She shook her head, "Far from it, um, what's your name again?"

"Anya."

"Right, Anya. Angel was able to get me an early parole. The Fang Gang was needed in LA, so they sent me. Plus, it would give me the time to, well to--"

"Kill us?" She interrupted.

"Apologize. I was really messed up that year. What I did was unforgivable. I ended up killing two people, not to mention Xander almost, and that had an effect on me. If it wasn't for Angel, I would've stayed nuts."

Giles responded, "I've come to trust Angel again after the Ascension. And, if he trusts you well enough to come to Sunnydale on your own, then I'll honor his wishes," he turned to the couple on the floor, "now, what do we do with these two."

"Anything to stop them having sex with each other."

"Wait," Faith began, "B and Xander were fucking?"

Giles nodded, "That was the impression we received when we barged in here. The two were in each other's arms naked."

"Way to go, Xander. It looked like he fucked her good." Faith stated as she sat down on the training horse. She looked around the room, "where do we put them?"

The former watcher gulped, "First. Anya, dress Buffy. I'll dress Xander. We'll chain them up in separate chairs. Then, we'll call Willow and Tara."

"This ought to be interesting," Faith commented. She looked around the room, "where's B's panties anyways?"

*****

Ethan's Hideout

Ethan was searching through his books again. He had the book before, but unfortunately it was misplaced.

The warlock looked left and right for it, but it was like finding a needle in a haystack. It was accompanied by numerous other books. They were scattered all over the floor, and that was what made it hard.

He sighed for the search has been going on now for an hour, and still nothing was found. Ethan was getting extremely annoyed.

Everything was going well for him too.

The Slayer was distracted at the moment.

Nothing could stop him.

Except for two things. One was Rupert. That is if he can pull something together within ten hours. The other thing was the book. He had no idea where it was.

A sudden tap was felt on the warlock's shoulder, "Ethan?"

The voice was known to the man, "Did you find it yet, Seth?"

Seth shook his head, "Sorry, but no."

"Damn!" Then Ethan walked over to his desk and sat down in the seat, "where can it be?"

The vampire known as Seth responded, "Don't know."

Ethan sighed. He looked at the floor again, yet still nothing. Then it hit him. "Check the crystal by the table."

Seth nodded and went over to the talked about table. On it, sat a crystal ball with the diameter of six inches. Next to it was a book. The book was five inches in length, and four inches in width. It was bound together by a red covering with the title, "Powerful Magics," in white centered on the front. The vampire grabbed the book, and brought it back to the warlock. "Here it is."

Ethan smiled, "Good." He took the book and opened it to the book marked page, "with this spell and the crystal, the world will be mine."

"If all you needed was the book, and crystal. Then, why hire my gang and I, Ethan?" Asked the curious vampire.

"I need you to watch the crystal. After all, what's not better to watch it then a immortal being."

"Nothing."

"Exactly.

"Oh, ok," Seth said with uncertainty.

Ethan knew that even with the Slayer in disposed, Rupert would certainly try and stop him. The man had to form a plan to make sure that his crystal was safe.

That was what the vampires were for.

He turned to Seth, "How many are in your group, Seth?"

Seth replied, "Ten, not including me."

A malevolent grin formed across his face, "Excellent. Even if Ripper comes, he'll be outnumbered. And without Buffy, he won't stand a chance."

"Can we kill them?" Seth asked in eagerness.

Ethan replied, "First torture him, then kill him. I want to see his face when he meets his demise." He looked at his watch, it was 6:30, "if I know Ripper, which I do, then he'll come soon. I must prepare for the spell."

Then he thought of something, "I got a better idea."

*****

The Magic Box Training Room

Two chairs sat in the room. Both were occupied by two people, and they were chained to them.

One chair was taken by Buffy Summers. Chains were wrapped around her clothed body. She was still out of it. Cave Slayer was positioned in a way to face her lover.

Xander was done in the same fashion. Clothed and chained to a chair. He faced the Slayer.

And they were like that for another hour.

Buffy slowly opened her eyes. It took her a few moments to realize that she wasn't in the comforting arms of her Xander anymore. She looked down and saw that she was fully clothed and chained to a chair. (Where am I? The last thing I remember was getting shot. Oh God, Xander!)

She tried to struggle free, but the chains were too strong. Buffy looked up and saw Xander unconscious, "Xander," she whispered.

No answer.

"Xander?" She yelled, "Wake up, Now!"

Still nothing.

Buffy wanted to make sure that he was okay. Not to mention more sex. The Cave Slayer did not like being alone. Not one bit. She tried to struggle free again, but couldn't.

Tears emerged from her eyes, "Xander? Come back to me!"

And when she didn't get a response, Buffy felt something occur in her stomach. Her muscles tensed, and more primal strength was released. With all the slayer strength, cave strength, and the new found primal strength combined, she broke through the chains.

Now, she was freed.

She charged forward, and with the same strength used to free herself, she let her lover go.

Xander just sat in the chair free in the same position.

Buffy brought him into her arms and placed him over her shoulder. She looked around the room and saw the door leading to the shop. Her first instinct was to get out through the door, but something hit her.

They would still be in the store.

Can't go out there.

She looked around again, but couldn't do this on her own. Buffy needed him.

Her body craved for him. They were such a perfect match, and she wanted him to hold her, comfort her, and have his way with her. It was what Cave Buffy desired. She needed to contact his animal side again

The Slayer started licking his face, to get it wet.

Nothing.

She whimpered, and started kissing him all over his wet face.

Nothing still.

"I need boy, Now!" The blond warrior tried shaking him.

Nothing happened still.

Buffy tore off his shirt, and started licking that. Then she went back to the face and continued to lick. "Take me!"

Nothing at all.

Tears slowly slid down her cheeks. If he couldn't be woken up, then she might as well sleep with him. Buffy tore his pants and underwear too. This leaving a naked Xander Harris.

His body shivered from lack of body heat. Buffy threw her clothes off and wrapped her arms around Xander's neck, "Wake up." She begged, but still nothing. Cave Buffy sighed.

She kissed him on the lips, and rested her head on his chest. Buffy took his arms and wrapped them around her back.

Upset, that he wasn't waking up, Buffy closed her eyes, and fell asleep. Dreaming of him the whole time.

An Hour and a Half Later

Xander slowly opened his eyes and found himself on the floor. The last thing he remembered was being shot too. The hyena immediately clasped his right hand where the first and second dart landed to make sure the stinging stopped.

But instead of finding his own body, he felt the warm sensation of his Buffy lying on top of him, and she was breathing too. (Good. We're both good.) The hyena immediately began stroking her back, and sniffing her hair.

Again, the hair was an aphrodisiac to him.

He wanted her.

"Slayer?" He whispered into her ear.

Buffy stirred at the mention of what she was. Xander smiled, "Wakey wakey. It's time for more fun."

She opened her eyes and slowly lifted her head. When she saw him fully awake, she hugged him even tighter, "You're back."

"What does this tell you?" Then he kissed her on the lips, and slipped his tongue back in. He ran it all over her inside of the mouth. Buffy moaned in response.

When he withdrew the tongue, Buffy smiled, "I love you." (I do love you, Xander. And maybe not in a friend way.)

"I love you, too." He said in between kissing her lips, (I still love, Buffy. I just hope she feels the same way. As for Anya, I don't know anymore.)

Buffy felt his shaft erect again next to her thigh. She sat up, and grabbed one hand around it, stroking, it, "Want more sex." (I actually do.)

The hyena lifted his right arm and cupped the right side of her face, "No more talk. I want to go inside you, again."

And with that, Buffy attacked him, he yelped from the impact.

The Magic Box Two and a Half Hours Ago

"Did you call Willow and Tara about this yet, Giles?"

The former watcher looked at the ex-demon and replied, "I just called them, Anya. I told them everything including the return of a certain Slayer."

"In the room," Faith interjected, "so, how do you think Ethan got B and Xander together?"

Giles slumped into his chair behind the research table, "Well, if Xander's hyena essence and Buffy's cave woman essence returned, it probably means that it's a repossession spell."

Anya finished counting the money and returned it back to the register. The brunette joined the other two by the table, "At least we know that this isn't the true Xander and Buffy in there."

All of a sudden the door opened and the bell rung as the two witches entered the store.

Willow was the first to spot Faith, "Just to let you know, Faith. I'm not too thrilled about working with you again. After Ethan is dealt with, and Buffy and Xander are back to normal, I don't want anything to do with you."

Faith nodded slowly, "Easy, Red. I'm better now. No rogue Slayer here anymore. I'm truly reformed."

"That makes it better, Faith. You did kill people. Not to mention teamed up with the Mayor."

Giles interrupted the redheaded witch, "Willow, Angel reassured me that she's better. After I called you about the situation, he called here himself and told me that everything was worked out for the better."

The witch sighed, "If Angel says she's better, than she is. Now, how do we stop Ethan?"

"I-I-I don't k-k-know." Tara replied.

At that very moment, a puff of smoke appeared and it went over to where Giles sat. A bright blue light surrounded him, and soon he vanished.

"Giles!" Willow called out.

"What do we do now?" Anya asked.

The Slayer shrugged, "Don't know. We'll figure something out."

Chapter 4

Ethan's Hideout

Giles appeared out of thin air and found himself in an old building. The room was spacious, dark, and gloomy. The only source of light came from a chandelier suspended from the center of the ceiling.

Two men stood a few feet in head of him.

"How nice for you to drop in," a voice stated.

The former watcher knew that voice, "What do you want Ethan?"

Ethan walked over to his ex-partner in crime. Behind him, stood Seth. The warlock replied, "Not much, Rupert. I already got what I need."

"What are you talking about? And break the spell that controls Buffy and Xander."

The warlock laughed, "First, the spell won't be broken, besides you are in no profession to give me orders."

Giles's eyes widened, "Don't you mean position?"

Ethan shook his head, "Look in the mirror," he then threw it to his enemy.

Rupert looked at the mirror, and couldn't believe his eyes. He was dressed like what a jester would have worn. "What's the meaning of this, Ethan?"

The villain walked cautiously over to him, "I told you before. You're my jester."

Giles grunted and charged his adversary. He grabbed him by the collar and swung a right cross against Ethan's face. But before he could, the vampire intervened. Seth blocked the punch with ease and threw the former watcher to the other side of the wall. "I don't think so, old man." The vampire hissed.

The villain stood over the laying form of Rupert Giles and grinned, "There's nothing you can do to stop me, Ropert. You're Slayer isn't even herself anymore."

Giles knew that he had something to do with the transformation of Buffy and Xander. He sprang to his feet and grabbed his enemy by the neck. "Let them go."

Ethan managed to breath out, "Get him off me."

The vampire nodded and wrapped his two powerful arms around his chest. "Where do you want him, Boss?"

The warlock smiled, "Just hold him still. As soon as I say the spell, Rupert will be a mindless servant. The only job he will have to entertain me."

"What spell?"

Ethan walked over to the far end of the room, and on a table sat the crystal. He brought it over to his enemy, "Recognize this?"

Giles's eyes widened, "Bloody hell. Where did you get that?"

He smirked, "You'd be surprised what people these day throw away, Ripper. After the spell is done, you're my jester, and I am the ruler of the entire world."

The only thing Giles was able to say before some magical word were chanted was, "The wold is doomed."

*****

The Magic Box

Faith began pacing back and forth. They were clearly in trouble. She turned to the other women in the room, "What do we do now?"

Willow shrugged her shoulder, "Don't know, Faith. We don't even know where Giles is or how to break the spell."

Anya shook her head, "We have to save them. I don't know how much I can take of having Cave Slayer and Hyena in the back there. With them having their way with each other."

"Why a-a-aren't w-w-we watching them."

The former dark Slayer turned to face the blond witch, "Giles, Anya, and I tied them up two and a half hours ago with chains. Face it, B and your boy are out of commission."

Then the redhead thought of something, "Oh, oh, I can do a location spell. That way, we find Giles and Ethan. Break the spell, and save the day."

"Do it," the brunette said.

Willow nodded and waved her arms in a circular motion, then chanted some magical words, and a green ball of energy appeared, "Help us find Giles," she ordered, and it flew off.

And Faith, Tara, Willow, and Anya left the Magic Box leaving what they thought two unconscious possessed people in the back.

*****

Magic Box Training Room

Xander laughed as he massaged her breasts carefully feeling them erect under his finger tips. He then sucked each one of them, allowing his tongue to touch them with passion. She moaned in response, and the hyena loved it.

He raised his head, smiled, and began kissing her neckline while he rubbed her back strongly. From the neckline, he made his way down her chest, followed by her abdomen, groin crawling off of her body.

She pouted, "Where boy going?"

"I'm still here. Just hungry." He then began licking her clit, sucking, and kissing it with love. His tongue danced across the clit, waiting the cum to come.

Buffy's eyes widened at the feeling. She started to grip the mat they were on for support. Her back arched along with her head as she felt it cumming. "Yes," she moaned as he continued his conquest. "I feel it. It's.....it's....it's starting to cum." He licked it a good seven times, and then it came. It cummed, and into his mouth, allowing him to enjoy the taste of his Buffy.

After he had his serving, he cleaned the clit off with his tongue, and grabbed her pussy. He massaged it with both his hands. Then he inched his ring finger closer and closer to her opening. With a firm thrust, he jammed his finger in, and felt around letting her juices soak. She yelped in response, and he laughed.

"I want you inside," she exclaimed. (I love you Xander Harris. I do with all my heart, body, and soul.) the blond thought as he withdrew his finger from her tight ass. "Take me!"

And he did. He inserted his fully erect penis into its proper location--within the sacred walls of his Buffy. Xander grabbed hold of her hips firmly, and started to pump. Just as slow as before.

In, and out. In, and out. Slowly at first, but let it grew faster. Faster, and faster, as she cried out in happiness. "Never leave, boy. Mine forever."

Xander smiled as he continued to pump, and soon Buffy's back arched again, as he ejaculated inside of her. Her body relaxed, and let it enjoy the feeling. The feeling of completion. The hyena withdrew his long shaft and started to fall on top of her stomach. He soon covered her body, and he stared into her hazel eyes, "I love you," he said.

Buffy grinned, "Love you, too." Then she flipped his body onto the back. The blond crawled down his body and licked his dick clean, trying to get more of him inside of her, he moaned in response, causing her to smile.

The Cave Slayer withdrew his shaft, "Be back later," then she licked all the way up to his chin, rubbing her hands all over his chest, and up to his mouth. Then with a strong surge energy she kissed him. Over, and over, all over his face, but always meeting back at the mouth.

The Hyena wrapped his arms around her back, clamping her close to him--not wanting to let go of the goddess in front of him, "Stay close to me," (I'm so so sorry Anya. I love Buffy. I never stopped) he thought.

The blond smiled, as she crawled out of his embrace and turned around, so she could engulf his penis, and held his hips. "Not leaving. My turn." She felt his shaft erect within her mouth, and started to pump herself. Her head bobbed up and down, continuing to lick around it, waiting.

She waited, and enjoyed in the natural taste of Xander Harris. She closed her mouth around his penis, and ran her mouth up and down. The Slayer could feel the tension form, as he stiffened. But instead of letting it continue, she opened her mouth and looked at her lover.

"Why'd you stop?"

Buffy smiled as she straddled his hips and lowered her pussy carefully on his penis allowing them to become one. With his penis in side her, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him towards her.

Soon, the two lovers faced each other. Brown eyes met hazel, all the time still connected. Buffy nibbled his ear slowly. He purred as she left the ear and went for the mouth. She slipped her tongue inside his mouth and his tongue danced with her. It was an interesting experience.

The blond started to lift her body up slowly letting her pussy slide up and down. Her knees opening and closing, bringing her butt along for the ride. Xander could feel the cum starting to build.

She moved faster, and faster. It was a complete cycle, and the two lovers were complete. The semen left the crown and it flooded inside of her. Their breathing grew heavy, and their bodies became tired.

Xander wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her off of his shaft. He pulled her close to him. Allowing her breasts to touch his chest. When the bodies overcame with sleep, Buffy laid her head on his chest, closed her eyes, and felt a strong arm wrap across her chest. "Stay with me."

He nodded, and replied, "No problem here." Then the two fell asleep.

*****

Ethan's Hideout
During Buffy and Xander's Time of Fun

Ethan Rayne lifted the crystal and brought it over to the now juggling form of Rupert Giles. "This is the end of the world for you, Rupert. Say something."

Giles couldn't speak. All he could do was juggle five baseballs.

The warlock laughed, "You can't, can you?"

"But we can!"

Ethan and the vampires turned around to see four women. The villain recognized the redhead, but not the other three. "Who are you?"

Before Faith could speak, Willow's eyes widened at the sight of the former watcher, "What did you do to him?"

The warlock replied, "Simply offered him a job that he couldn't refuse. Now, who are you?"

The former Dark Slayer went inside her jacket sleeve, pulled out a stake and threw it to a vampire's heart, dusting it. "The name's Faith, the vampire slayer."

Ethan's eyes widened, "Another Slayer?" He turned to his jester, "you never told me there were more than one. Doesn't matter. Attack!"

The ten remaining vampires charged the four women. Four went to Faith, two to Willow, two to Tara, and two to Anya.

Tara gulped, "W-w-we're going t-t-to need s-s-some help."

Faith smirked as she dusted one of her undead foes, "I can handle these boys."

"I'm sure you can, but the girls need more help."

Faith, Willow, Anya, and Tara turned around to see the presence of the new ally.

"Angel, good. Help us." Willow said.

The souled vampire immediately jumped into action and staked one of the vampires instantly from Tara's group. He followed through with a roundhouse. The vampire staggered a few feet back, but shot in a right cross. Angel intercepted the punch and kicked him on the side, finally staking it when it charged the champion again.

Willow managed to stake one herself only when it tripped under its own feet. The redhead returned the favor with a stake in the back. She looked ahead of her, and saw the other one coming. The witch chanted, "jigo naxo incerti fura." Then it burst into flames.

Angel looked around and only saw three more vamps left. Faith had dusted two of her four already. He then spotted Anya in trouble, and went after her.

Faith staked her second to last one and glared at the last vampire. "This ends now, Seth."

Seth growled at the slayer and grabbed her by the wrists, flinging her over to the wall. He laughed in triumph, "Back off."

The Slayer shook her head as she got back to her feet. The rogue slayer charged her prey and kneed him in the groin. The vampire bent down in pain, as she elbowed the vamp with her right arm sending him to the ground. Finally, she picked him up by the back of the shirt and brought his face to face her, "I don't think so," then went into her jacket and pulled out a new stake and jammed it to his heart, dusting him instantly.

In a matter of seconds the warlock chanted some new words and the crystal began to glow a bright purple light. When he finished, the crystal floated and a red thrown appeared in the center of the room. A malevolent grin appeared on his face. For his goal was becoming a reality.

World Domination.

Angel's eyes widened. He had seen this spell before years ago, and remembered how to stop it. The champion looked at Faith, "Toss me a stake."

Faith nodded and did as he said, "Here."

The vampire smiled and aimed the stake at the crystal. With a powerful thrust, he threw the stake and with enough velocity, it broke the crystal shattering it into four pieces onto the ground.

The crystal parts soon dissolved into liquid and everything went back to normal.

Ethan said, "Damn," he knew what he had to do now. He edged toward the door, and started to run away, but someone stopped him. The warlock looked up and soon saw the face of Angel.

"Change them back," he said.

"Or what?" Ethan demanded.

Faith smiled, "Or, I can personally make you change your mind. Either way, I get what I want. And I always get what I want."

The warlock gulped, and nodded, "Excremengo hyeos rickos gajopti breko au tokla," he stated.

Suddenly Giles stopped juggling, fell to the ground, and his normal clothes came back. He stood up from the ground, and looked at the vampire, "When did you get here?"

*****

The Magic Box Training Room

Buffy slowly opened her eyes feeling a little different. She no longer felt the cave spirit within her. For the first time in hours she felt like she was in total control. The Slayer took her hand and felt a strong arm wrapped around her waist.

She turned around and saw the sleeping form of Xander Harris. A smile spread across her face remembering the sexual escapades the two shared. Buffy soon realized that she was naked, but to tell the truth, she didn't mind.

Buffy enjoyed being held again and it was by the one person she has come to love with the past hours. The way Xander performed was so right. It was like they were meant for each other; all she hoped was that he felt the same way. "Xander?" she asked quietly.

The soft sound of her voice woke him up. He soon realized that he was free from the hyena's control. When he became aware of that he immediately sprang up into a sitting position. "I'm so sorry, Buffy. I didn't mean to do all those things to you. Please don't hate me."

Buffy shook her head, "Don't be sorry, Xander."

His eyes widened, "Who are you, and what did you do to Buffy Summers? I want answers."

The blond sat up and placed her right hand on his cheek, and laughed, "Here's the thing, Xander. I don't know what happened after you became the hyena again, and me as the cave woman, but I do remember that you were unbelievable. The best I ever had, and I want to try going out with you."

"Huh? Is this a dream?"

"What does this tell you?" She said as she leaned into him, and kissed his lips. The kiss was gentle, and innocent. No passion behind it, but just the meeting of two sets of soft lips.

Xander pulled back, "It tells me that you're serious."

She nodded. "I am."

He smiled, "You have no idea how long I've waited for you to want me, Buffy. Ever since the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you."

She grinned, "I love you, Xander. And I want you."

"I want you too."

Then she leapt on to him, and starting kissing the man that she loved. The man that loved her. The two lovers were in complete bliss.

Chapter 5

The Magic Box
After the Battle

"Let me get this straight. Buffy and Xander were under a spell, and they slept together."

Giles nodded his head, "Exactly, Angel. It seems that way. So, Anya, Faith, and I tied them up in the back with chains to keep them apart. That's where they should be now." He checked his watch, "and according to my calculations they should be awake by now."

Willow added, "And they should be normal by now. No more Hyena Xander and Cave Slayer."

Anya at that point left the group and entered the training room to check on them.

Just as Giles was about to speak, the ex-vengeance demon shouted, "They're not here, Giles!"

Then four pares of feet came charging into the room.

"My word. They're gone."

The vampire looked at the former librarian, "Where do you think they could be?"

The redhead suggested, "Probably they were too ashamed with themselves that they went back to their homes."

"Good hypothesis, Willow. Faith, Anya and I will go to Xander's. Angel, Tara, and Willow go to Buffy's. See how they're doing, then we'll meet here in one hour."

"Let's move on."

*****

Xander's Apartment
Same Time

Buffy and Xander were lying in bed together, naked. The blond rested her head on the brunet's chest. She brushed her right hand over his chiseled chest, and said, "I really do love you, Xander. I can't believe that we never done this before."

Xander stroked his hand through her soft long blond lochs. "I love you, too, Buffy. Always have, and I think that it was worth the wait."

She moved her legs over his and sat up. Then rubbed her hands on his sides gracefully. "What are you going to do about Anya? I know that you love her."

The former hyena sat us well allowing his chest to touch her breasts and stroked her back. "I do love Anya, Buffy."

The Slayer sighed and lowered her head, "Oh."

He shook his head, and cupped her head with his hands. Then pulled her face to his, and they kissed each other gently. "But I love you, Buffy Anne Summers. I always have, and I was stupid to think that I could fall in love with anyone else. It's just that you never felt the same way towards me until now."

The blond warrior looked into his brown eyes, "I'm not the same sixteen-year-old Buffy anymore. I'm now a twenty-year-old Buffy. And this twenty-year-old Buffy loves you, and only you."

Xander smiled, "Good to hear that, Buffy. I'm going to break up with Anya later today. Right now I want to show you how much I love you."

She grinned, "Show me."

Then he lowered Buffy's body back on the bed and swung his legs underneath the sheets but let them rest on the naked legs of his Buffy. The construction worker kissed her on the mouth gently allowing his tongue to slip into hers. Then the two tongues dueled to the death. Both of them were moaning louder and louder.

He withdrew his tongue, then kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, followed by her soft lips. When satisfied, he kissed down her chin, neck, sternum, and circled around her nipples feeling them erect, and she moaned again.

Then he continued kissing down her abdomen, groin, and focused on her clit. He danced his tongue across the crevices that were part of the naked form of his slayer.

Buffy started to feel herself cum. She arched her back, followed by her head, and moaned, "Goooood, Xaaaaaaannnnnnndddddderrrrrrrr. I w-w-want you inside meeeeeeeeeee!!!!"

The brunet grinned, "Way ahead of you." Then continued kissing the clit, and soon enough she did cum. Xander licked her clean, then sat up. His cock erecting by the second. He opened Buffy's legs and slid his cock inside her. And just allowed it to sit there. All the time whispering 'I love yous' into her ears.

With a powerful thrust, he started to pump ever so slowly--just letting his shaft slide in and out of her.

Buffy wanted him inside of her more. With a powerful surge of strength, she grabbed hold of his love handles and brought him closer to her, thus causing the pumpage to go faster. The whole time, he could feel himself starting to build up. "It's ccccccuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnng."

The Slayer twirled herself around forcing Xander to be on his back and her on top of him. Instead of letting him to pump, she continued for him. The joints in her knees started to open and close causing her pussy to slide up, and down. Up, and down.

Then it happened, he ejaculated inside of her, and she arched her back feeling the relaxation only sex would provide.

After the feeling passed, she fell backwards on the bed with her head resting at the foot of the bed. "I love you so much, Xander."

Xander smiled, and sat up again, then fell on top of his lover, and started kissing her all over the face. While he kissed, he massaged her breasts allowing the nipples to erect.

But before he could do anything, Buffy pushed him back towards the head of the bed allowing herself to sit up. She ran her hands down the chest, to his newly erected shaft. Then engulfed it with her mouth. Her lips closely around the penis, and slid it up and down.

The former hyena watched the crown of the blond goddess in front of him bob up and down. All the time feeling it build again. Xander was about to say something when the doorbell rung.

She lifted her head and smiled, "Ignore it, maybe they'll leave."

"So not a problem. Now, where were we?"

"We were here." Then she kissed the tip of his cock, and then let her lips open to consume it again. The movement continued.

Soon enough, he let loose, and Buffy swallowed her serving. When finished, she withdrew her mouth and crawled up his body, lowering her head on his chest again to rest. Buffy said into his chest softly, "Love you."

Xander stroked her back, and responded, "Love you, too."

"I knew you loved her!"

Buffy immediately sprang off his chest and saw Anya, Giles, and Faith standing at the door. She grabbed the bed sheet and draped it over her exposed breasts. But before she could say something, Anya ran out of the room with tears in her eyes.

Xander grabbed his pants, and started to put them on. "I'm going after her." He didn't even notice that Giles and Faith were standing there, and ran out.

When he was gone, Faith interjected, "Told you he was good, B."

"Faith!" Buffy growled. "What are you doing here?"

Giles covered his eyes, "Bloody hell. Put some clothes on!"

Buffy wrapped the bed sheet around her and grabbed her scattered clothes. When she did, she jumped back onto the bed, and began to dress herself under the covers. "You can see again."

The former librarian removed his hand slowly. "Good. I rather not go into the details of what you and Xander did these past five or so hours, but we need to tell Angel, Willow, and Tara that you're all right."

Before he could finish what he was saying, Buffy interjected, "Angel? Why is he in Sunnydale?" Then she turned to the other slayer, "And why are you here too?"

At this point, Buffy got out of the bed, and joined them.

Her watcher answered, "I think it will save us time if we had Xander here as well. Then, we'll head over to your house, Buffy."

The blond nodded, "I'll get him." Then she ran out of the apartment, and headed for her lover and his ex-girlfriend.

*****

Xander called out to Anya, "Anya! Wait! We need to talk."

Anya stopped in the middle of the hallway, and turned around. She then stormed over to him. "How could you do that? How could you say that to her?"

He sighed. He was ashamed because she had every right to be upset. "I'm sorry I hurt you. I couldn't help it. It was the hyena."

This time, she sighed, "I know it wasn't your fault. But, you didn't have to have sex with that slut just a few moments ago. You were back to normal at that point."

The carpenter nodded, "First of all. That slut as you call her is named Buffy. Buffy and I were possessed."

"I understand that you weren't in control. But like I said before, you didn't have to have sex with her after."

"You have to know something, Anya. We may've been possessed, but we remember all that happened. When it first started I kept telling myself that I was in love with you. You were the only thing in my mind. But--"

Her eyes narrowed, "But what?"

At that very moment, Buffy came running down the hall, and stopped when she came to Xander, and Anya. However, during the last few minutes, she heard everything the two were saying. So, she interrupted. "But, during that time we were possessed, I discovered that I was in love with Xander."

"So, you found out that you loved him? Well, that's just great. What am I supposed to do? Am I supposed just let everything be honky-dory? Let you two just live your lives as a couple, when I'm going to hurt everyday seeing you two together. The whole time knowing that the only reason that you found love was through some re-possession."

Buffy and Xander looked at each other. Then turned to the ex-demon. The Slayer said, "We didn't want you to find out this way. But, as for your question about finding love. Sure, part of it was the possession. But, this goes back even before that. After Mom died, I shut down. It was Xander who helped me get my life back together. He's always been there for me, and the possession allowed me to know Xander intimately."

Xander was shocked, "And as for me, Anya. Before you got to Sunnydale, I literally fell head over heals in love with her. I have been since our sophomore year. I tried to get on with my life. Hence my dating Cordelia and you, but I never really got over Buffy. I guess I always was."

Anya didn't know how to respond. After some thought, she said, "I guess you two do really love each other."

The blond warrior at that point wrapped her arm around Xander's waist. "Guess so."

Anya continued, "I'm going to leave Sunnydale. Even though you two are happy, I can't live with myself in seeing you together everyday. It's going to kill me everyday."

The young man shook his head, "But, Anya."

She took a deep breath, withdrew Buffy from him, and hugged Xander. "I have to do this. I'll send for my things tomorrow. Goodbye." With that said, Anya turned around and headed down the hallway.

Buffy took Xander's hand, "C'mon Xander. Giles want to talk with us."

*****

Xander's Apartment
After Anya's Departure

Buffy and Xander walked into the living area where Giles and Faith were already sitting on the couch.

"Buffy tells me that you want to talk to us."

Giles nodded, "Yes, Xander."

Xander sat down on a chair, and Buffy sat on his lap with her left arm around his shoulders.

"Go on."

Faith started, "Jeeves and I've been talking. And when you two were talking to Anya, he called your sister, B. Everyone's their now."

"So, I guess that we're going to my house to talk then?"

The Watcher nodded, "It would a lot easier."

Xander sighed, "C'mon, Buff. Looks like we're going to your house."

She kissed Xander on the cheek, then got off his lap, and helped him up. "Let's go, Giles."

He nodded, "Very well then. But where's Anya?"

Xander answered, "She left, and won't be coming back."

"Oh," the former librarian said, "we better get going." With that said, Faith and Giles got off the couch, and joined Buffy and Xander by the door.

*****

Summers Residence
Early Evening

Buffy opened the door, said, "We're home."

"In here, Buffy." Angel said from the living room.

She went through the door, and let Xander, Faith, and Giles come in following her. With that said, the four of them went into living room where Angel, Willow, Tara, and Dawn were sitting. Xander sat in a vacant chair, shortly joined by Buffy who sat on his lap. Faith and Giles on the other hand, leaned against the wall.

"Where's Anya?" Willow asked.

Buffy replied, "She left."

"Are you okay, Xander?" Dawn questioned.

He nodded, "Yeah, I am. We talked it out, and I fully understand why she left."

Tara said, "G-g-good."

"But what happened after we dealt with Ethan?" Angel questioned.

Buffy looked at Xander, and he nodded, "Well, after the whole possession thingy, Xander and I talked. We decided to try dating, and see where that leads us too."

"What about Anya? How did she react?" Dawn asked.

"That's what we talked about, and that's why she left. She couldn't deal with Buffy and I dating."

"Wow," Angel said.

"But why are you and Faith here?" Buffy queried.

Giles answered, "Cordelia had a vision. Angel sent Faith to help us deal with Ethan."

"I sent Faith because I was busy with something in Los Angeles. We dealt with it, and I decided to come when our problem was solved."

"Makes sense," Buffy said.

"So, now that that's figured out. What are we going to do now?"

The souled vampire answered Willow's question, "I'm going back to Los Angeles." He then turned to Faith, "Do you want to come back with me?"

Faith looked at the people in the room, but knew what she had to do. "I'm going with you, Angel. It only seems fair for what did for me."

He smiled, "You'll be a welcomed member of the team, Faith."

"Good."

Buffy smiled, "Hey, Xand. My dresser needs fixing. Want to help me fix it?"

Xander grinned knowing exactly what that mean. "Sure, I'll help."

With that said, Angel and Faith left for Los Angeles while Buffy and Xander headed for her bedroom.

The End
