Yup! a Bad Rude Man. Wonder where he keeps his weapons? Besides the one between his legs! At least she got something to eat. Thanks for the read. Great chapter.

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing!

Have to say, once you've laid out the situation, I gets really interesting. Though I'm not sure I see this Buffy as an effective gang member. But, at this point, who really knows? Though you probably do...

Author's Response: Did I tell you I love the fact you review for every ch even if you read them all at once?

really excited to find out where you're going with this one.. hope you update...

Author's Response: thanks for reading and reviewing!

great so far

Author's Response: Thanks for the review!!

Loved it!! You're one of my favourite author's! Please update as soon as possible!! =D

Author's Response: Aw thanks! Hope you still think that next chapter :X Thanks for the review!

wow, this is something else. I like the story. Please update soon!!!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review! I'll try!

i love it!! i absolutely agree with you in your plot line or what you're going to make out of this fic...loved your concept so glad this fic isn't that angsty and more banty funny kinda way (i think that's where it's going right? if not...then my mistake) anyhow, you're doing great...realllllyy hope you update soon cos i can't wait to know what happens next thanx so much

Author's Response: Ok, I'm going to have to warn you that it's still gonna be dark. But we'll see what happens next chapter :) Thanks for the review!!

Well, I'm glad Spike won- Angelus would have broken her for sure. Now it's a matter of what Spike's going to do, since he might very well have the same agenda, without doing it as brutally. I like that you worked Illyria into it- she's a hard character to fit into an AU fic, but this one works perfectly. Can't wait to see what kind of Spuffy interaction you have planned for the next chapter. Update really soon :-)

Author's Response: Yea, I seemed to have made other people think he was nice or something? Good thing you are thinking on the right track as to not be outraged later. Thanks for the review!!

Great chapter! I'm still awaiting what happened to Parker, but that can be put off for a while- I'm enjoying the Spike and Buffy interaction so far. Thank god he beat Angelus- that was fabulous:) Cordy creeped me out (and rightfully so), and it's kind of cool to see the women be so strong, even if they're scary LOL

Author's Response: Isn't it cool to have strong female characters? hehe. So basically I can count on you and Ashlee not to flame me right? lol. I hope you like/not hate the next chapter. Thanks for the review!

Well it takes a good woman to make a man reach his potential. Let's see if Spike really wants to find out if there is life outiside his cruel world......and it be something he might enjoy.......

Author's Response: That's all true, but first, we have to see the extent of his cruel character :X Thanks for the review!

I love this story. And yes, I can see the potential for strength on Buffy's part and redemption on Spike's. Love can do that, we know that, don't we? Luv, Spuf

Author's Response: That was sort of my prep for the next chapter. It's not really gonna look like Spike's a good guy and I wanted ppl to know that I still plan on changing him eventually. You'll see - I'm curious to see how you take it...Thanks for the review!!
