Time that Spike came back to feed Buffy; she was almost attacking Xander.
Heh :) Creative way to stop Angel and Spike from fighting. *g*
Spike is still very eager to protect Drusilla even if she may have harmed Willow. Wonder if that would change if Buffy herself would be threatened. May it be by Drusilla or Angel....

Author's Response: Buffy still, for a lack of a better term, is a fledgling. She shows a lot of restraint ie with her mom and in school. Plus Xander can be down right annoying sometimes! Spike is confused between his lover and sire of over hundred years and his new mate.

that is one amazing writing!!!! new chapter please!!! quickly!!!

Author's Response: thank you so much! new chapter will be coming soon!

I like this, it's interesting to see how their relationship are evolving.

Author's Response: thank you, for reading and reviewing!

Really loved your portrayal of characters in this chapter- Angel as his usual annoying self- well done :P Really hope Buffy and Spike realise (maybe after the claim is gotten rid of?) just how much they actually feel for each other. On a side note? The feeding etc. was just plain *hot*.
So good- love your writing so much. Looking forward to more!

Author's Response: thank you so much! I *blush*! I enjoy putting my demented thoughts into words and I'm glad that you're enjoying them! In addition to Angel, I loved putting Xander in his place....both by Buffy and Spike! It's my world so I can do this if I wanna!!!!

spike has got to have at least a small part of buffys heart right - i mean shes not really the type to just sleep with a guy without "loving" him is she? and yes I love the direction - buffy thinks she still loves angel as spike believes about drusilla but without a way to break the claim, they all have to deal. and ha poor spike he thinks he has the better deal now but we all saw the disaster that was S6( hated that season). seems reasonable that spike probly will fight buffy if she tries to kill dru but i think his instinct to protect his mate will overpower any feelings he has for dru. i mean she doesnt even love him back. it would be easier on everyone if angel killed dru - bc spike already hates him. i dont think spike would as readily forgive buffy for killing his salvation as some tend to think. cant wait to see how this turns out. i cant believe dru is going to give up her plan with any ease at all. more please more!

Author's Response: He does, but both Buffy and Spike are chalking up this passion to the claim, nothing more. It's not the first time when people have a hard time excepting what is right in front of them! Buffy was a virgin before Halloween so no she's no hoe! She's just confused like Spike between where they think their heart lies and where it is actually. No Dru, even though partially weak, is crazy and a master vamp with visions....a formiable vamp!
