Yeah, that makes sense - with Buffy confusing demon names Giles simply stopped to teach Buffy.
Wrong decision.
We'll see how Buffy like Spike as a teacher / if he'll be successful in teaching her.

Author's Response: I'm not getting into the teaching thing that closely right away, it'll come little by little. And I always did wonder why Giles didn't try more. Everyone just seemed to accept that Buffy wasn't the research girl...

I like you more mature and confident Buffy. She could have been like this so easily with a bit of encouragement. Now then we all know how well Spike's plans usually work out when Buffy is involved.....

Author's Response: Spike and plans...yeah, we all know how it usually goes :) I never thought Buffy as just a ditzy blonde. She's a warrior.

Love the story behind the story on this where the vampire cult is being utilized in the plot. Can't wait to read on how Spike plays scholar to Buffy on the Vampire clans. Buffy in this story is very much aware of the shortcomings of her entourage and how their good intentions can get her hurt or killed. Look forward to more

Author's Response: I always wanted to know more about the clans, but they didn't get into that in the show. My view is just that, mine, I hope you'll like it :) And this fic is very anti-Council and not very Giles friendly I'm afraid...

I love this, and am definitely looking forward to how you build the relationship. Trust and respect for the other's abilities is a great foundation, and even suspicion from how dangerous they know the other to be.

I like how you're showing Buffy in high school as more of a Slayer than a lot of fanfic writers do-- just because how she speaks and plays up to the childish expectations pepole have of her doesn't mean she isn't much more mature from her experiences as a Slayer and how she thinks about everything under that blond hair. That Buffy feels a little separated from her friends and even her Watcher from how they view her differing from how she views herself is shown very well, and that she's even sharing a place she likes to think away from them to Spike is great foreshadowing for how they treat each other as equals. And I'm very interested in seeing how Spike gives this lesson and what you've come up with for the vampire clans.

BTW, Spike's notice of Buffy as a tasty girl is perfect without overdoing bloodlust or infatuation or uncontrollable lust (she isn't as amazingly, unresistably beautiful as a lot of writers try to make her sound). I loved that he hung back a step to watch how she walked, "being a male". lol

Great chapter, and I am definitely looking forward to the next!

Author's Response: Wow...I'm speechless. I'm so happy you see the points I'm trying to make. This still is only my third real fic, so I hope you won't be dissappointed...And I'll get into the clans in later chapters, not right away. I'll mention them in the next chap, but that's not the end of my description of them. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the fic. And thank you so very much for your amazingly detailed comment :)
