Didn't expect anything less, at least he gave her pain pills and birth control pills, nothing Angelus would have done. When she tells him about the plot, it will earn her some brownie points. Great read, I like it. Thanks.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing!

Great chapter. I really, REALLY, wouldn't want to be in Buffy's shoes right now. I hope she gets better at fighting.
Author's Response: Oh she will ;) Thanks!

"That memory flashed through his head, the one he thought he had long gotten over, and he clenched his jaw to suppress it. Stretching his neck in tense motions, he flung the covers off his body and jumped to his feet. He hoped a shower would relax him, because she did not want to see him aggravated. It would only be worse for her that way."
Now I wanna know his story more chapters soon please.
Author's Response: Check ch 10, it's now up :)

I love all the little tiny ways Spike just seems entranced by her. And though there is always a history between Angelus and Spike, I would really love to know what way Dru probably got between them. And this Buffy, she's one feisty cookie!
Author's Response: im glad you think shes feisty!

Great chapter, PJ. I think I loved it waay too much if that's even possible. And yeah, Spike is being an ass right now but there are familiar stirrings of concern for Buffy. Really looking forward to more. Good luck on your mid-terms. Thanks.
Author's Response: Can you love it too much? lol. Thanks though!! Glad you liked it :D

wow, i am so happy that Buffy didnt magically get skills after one fight. I cant wait to find out why she didnt fight harmony. Im hoping its so that she learns faster and better from illyria. I like that Cordy shows small bits of compassion here and there, maybe they have more in common than they think. I also like that you get glimpses of a softer side of Spike, a side i cant wait to see. Wonderfull update and i cant wait for more!!!
Author's Response: I think the story would have plummeted if she just magically acquired skills, lol. Good thing you agree ;) Also good that you seem to be noticing the small details, because those are the only crumbs we get from the gang right now. Thanks for reviewing!

Tsk, tsk, tsk - thought you were going to put the Spuffy interaction in this chapter *sigh* LOL! Just kidding :-) Expect much prodding for the next chapter when midterms are over *wink, wink* And I think it's expected (or it should be) that Spike is an ass right now- although the little bit of sympathy that was hinted at was a very good decision to leave in. Can't wait for more :-)
Author's Response: LOL, I knew you would be sad! That's what happens when I tell you something ahead of time and then don't get it it :X Anyway, I'm quite sure you'll be on my ass to write ;) Thanks for the review!

Ok, so even this isn't the best situation and there's been mondo violence in her young life - at least she's starting to feel again (too bad it all seems so painful). Hopefully things will get better soon (just keep her away from Angelus until she can defend herself a bit). Cordy seems almost nice in this fic (well, compared to everyone else). I love it and would like more real soon please! Thanks for writing/sharing.
Author's Response: I'm glad you like it so far, but I should warn you it's not looking so good for Buffy anytime soon :( Thanks for reviewing!

Hank is an ass**** - how could e say something like that to his daughter? He was the next to hurt her. Wonder if Buffy will take long to learn to fight ... and if she'll tell what she overheard.
Author's Response: Funny thing, I tried to see if I could make Hank into a nice guy, but it just wouldn't fit no matter how I thought about it. Hence, elevate him as a jerk! lol. Thanks for the review!

i'm LOVING this fic! Buffy's mix of emotions are perfectly normal in this sort of situation. We've been learning about hostage situations and emotions in my Psychology class, so everytime we discuss things like how hotsgaes feel, i always think about this story. i hope Buffy gets to kick some ass soon! i think Buffy may open up to Spike about what happened to her mother, and this may break through the steel encasing around his heart that Buffy's already made a dent in. Well thats my theory any way! I guess i'll have to wait and see. UPDATE SOON!!!!
Author's Response: You've been learning about hostage emotions? Uhh, want to tell me what you learned? LOL. I'm just making it up as I try to imagine what it would be like, but it's not like I had a gang experience myself :P Glad you liked it though! Thanks for reviewing :D

Nice work sparky, very nice. I like the interaction between the 2 gangs. I love this story!
Author's Response: Glad you like it! Thanks for reviewing!

aww how sad i dont like that spikes so mean bput i understand that they have to evolve into a realationship. im so happy that u updated, this is a great story and i love reading it. please update as soon as u can, i cant wait to read more and see wat happens next thanx
Author's Response: I'm really glad you're enjoying it - angst aside. Thanks for the review!

Spike may be an ass, but I think letting her train and learn how to fight is pretty giving of him. In a strange way, I have a feeling he's going to protect her at some point, and her being able to fight will help matters quite a bit. If she eventually becomes part of the gang, I think that'd be pretty cool, too. Hank's an ass, by the way- he should have something vicious done to him:)
Author's Response: Lol, your review proves that if I ever get too angsty for other people, I'll always have 'Ashlison' still reading - LOL! At least when Spike keeps being mean, I know you'll see the tiny shred of niceness in it, lol. Thanks for the review!

Hey
I hate Hank more then Spike.....he's her father and can't even act like one.........Spike iswho he is for a reason.....and Buffy will either lay with the dogs eventually or make Spike realize their is more to life then violence and crime........she could show him what love is all about, and he can heal her soul.
Author's Response: Good observations - I'm glad you see that he's that way for a reason ;) Thanks for the review!

Great interaction between the gang and Buffy. I wish Buffy would have kicked I.'s face in! Never liked her character, sorry. That's one of the reasons I didn't watch ATS too much, if at all.
Okay, anyway, I hope Spike feels like shit soon and realizes what he's doing to poor Buffy.
Luv, Spuf
Author's Response: Well she'll eventually get some skills, but it'll take a while, and even then, I'm not sure she would be able to beat Illyria since on AtS I know Illyria kicked EVERYONEs ass. As for Spike...patience is a virtue :) Thanks for the review!

I LOVE it!! I love all of your stories, and I really hope that you'd update soon. Pretty please? =) You're one of my favourite authors and I absolutely adore this story. It's so cruel, and angsty, but still very Spuffy, since Spike's starting to soften a little bit... Really little, but still.... Just wanted to tell you this. Not that I'm alone of thinking this, but whatever. =P
Author's Response: What a great review loaded with compliments! :D Thanks so much for letting me know, and I'm really glad you enjoy all of my fics! (granted, there's only 3 so far, lol)
