Ugh, I can't belive I've missed so many chapters of this. Probably because I was visiting my parents for so long. But now that I'm back, am gonna review on time now lol

I can't wait to see what Giles/Ripper has planned, seems that since he needs to be more 'Ripper-like' it gonna be bloody... or dusty. I hope Buffy and Spike come out of it unharmed.

I have a feeling that Angel is wanting to put space between Spike and Buffy, not only because of the bloodlust, but because of his own personal feelings as well. Maybe?

Since there is already more up to read... Until next review!

*hugs*

Author's Response: I'm glad you are catching up, and I hope you enjoy the chapters that have been written. My apologies for the delay in responses, but you know what has been going on in RL. Keep reading. I think you will enjoy. *hugs tight*

Of course you likey ;)!

Can I just say that Giles has me muddled? He sounds sincere yet at the same time he has this edge that makes you want to be in the next continent and fast. Dead giveaway that he's up to no good by staying somewhere else. I'm wondering is Rayne a vampire and Giles isn't? Oh can't wait for that to unravel!

Ok Angel sounds jealous like he does in canon? Did he want to have a thing with Buffy or something and Buffy didn't? Hmmm ponders that one carefully.

He is so friggin self righteous I want to shave off his hair and well you get the idea lol! Me no likey his attitude, that's for sure! Tells her being with Spike she won't be able to control herself. Pretty darn sure Spike can take care of himself and Buffy has remarkable restraint...Ughh *throws hands up in frustration at Angel's gall*

Love the update! Love the sweet banter and the moments between Spike and Buffy. More please Kitten *Hugs and smooches*

Author's Response: Thanks Lissa! Giles is up to something, thats for sure. Angel and Buffy have history that hasnt been disclosed yet, but that doesnt mean they were together... or does it? Mwahahaha! Spike and Buffy are cute arnt they :) *hugs and kisses, Lissa* hope you are feeling better!

Love that this Giles seems to be a bit more of the Ripper than we usually get. Though I do wonder about the specifics of Angels history with Slayers. Faith possibly? Really looking forward to the bits of their history. Great chapter.

Author's Response: Thanks buffyrat! Yup, giles is definitely not the Giles we are all used to. Angel has some history as does Buffy that has yet to be revealed. More info to come, stay wiff me!

Interesting! I can't wait to see how it all plays out :o)

Author's Response: Thanks for the R&R Shelly. So glad you are enjoying!

I love the way Buffy and Spike's relationship is progressing :D Buffy is doing the right thing by taking things slow (tho I can't wait till they get *closer* heehee). It must be a kick for Buffy to do such "normal" things like snuggling and watching tv with Spike :)

Oh Giles seems to be very Ripper-ish *bites nails* That ain't gonna be good for Spike (or any of the others). I think Julio is going to really regret being so eager to take that job...

*flicks Angel* I suppose he does have a valid point and is worried about Buffy, but he should butt out and trust her.

Excellent chapter, the plot thickens, as they say! :P Can't wait for the next update! *Smoochies & Lurve*

Author's Response: Thanks PB *huggles and smoochies* Buffy is being a good lil vamp, playing sweet girlfriend to Spike. Getting closer everyday. Giles is a bad, rude man... Angel = A*hole. Yup, thick plot is of the good. More, soon!
