Daddy Dearest


Chapter 16 Buffy and Spike time


“So do you want to tell me what is going on behind my back?” Buffy asked her father as she tried to keep her anger in check.


“Not really but, I guess someone will have too.” Spike told her as he sat on the couch hoping she would do the same.


Starting her pacing, she said to him. “So no one saw fit to let me know what is going on in my life, gee Dad that is just great.”


Jumping up to be on the same level as his daughter, “It’s not like that and you know it.”


Turning on him. “Then what is Dad?”


“Do you think we could sit and talk calmly?” Spike asked, as he sat down, again.


“Alright” Buffy said a she took a seat on the couch beside her father.


“Right then, as you know on Friday you and your mates are coming over for a movie night here. Your Watcher has told everyone that, they need to pack a bag because it is going to be running quite late. What you don’t know is when you are all eating diner here, we will be informing you that I have opened a wing up for you lot.” Spike told his daughter.


“Why would you do that Dad? and why keep it a secret?” Buffy asked him.


“The reason why, your Watcher asked for it, it seems he received a call a few days ago from the Council of Watcher in England, where they proceeded to tell him that a new Slayer was called and her and her Watcher will be coming here to Sunnydale to keep an eye on you and your Watcher.” He stopped clearly seeing she wanted to ask a question.


“How could another Slayer be called? I thought we established I never died?” Buffy asked him.


“Thought so too, but one was called so what we think happened is that with the slowness of your beating heart and the shock of the Master, it might have stopped for a couple seconds and that would have been long enough to call another Slayer.”


“So what we’re just all going to move in here?” Buffy asked, not knowing what to think.


“Your Watcher asked for protection, sanctuary if need be, one thing he is worried about is them finding out we are father and daughter. You do understand that can not happen until we are able to trust them. I don’t think I have to remind you what I am but I will kill to keep you and your mum as well as Drusilla safe, Angelus will as well if need be.”


“What, you think I will just sit there and let them hurt you or my family?” Buffy asked, making it clear that he better not expect her to sit back and do nothing.


“I know you won’t, just remember what I always taught you minions are expendable, if anyone gets harmed it will most likely be them.”


“So are we hiding?” She asked him, not sure if she wanted to know the answer.


“No but you will have to hold back, they expect you to train with her, your Watcher is hoping he can get them to let Angel train with you as well, that way you won’t have to hold back with him as much. We are still going to have you patrol with Angel. Nothing will change, other than your gang will be spending more time here and you can’t talk as openly about having a famous Vampire for a father.” He told her.


With a roll of her eyes, she said “Back to secret identity girl, you know I hate that.”


“It has to be done, for a while.”


Sighing she said, “Alright I understand.”


“Good, now let’s watch that movie we were planning on watching.” Spike told her, as he got up and put the movie in the VCR player.

45 minutes into the movie Spike started to get restless.


“You’re worried aren’t you?” Buffy asked as she eyed her father.


“She has been sick for so long I don’t know what to think.” He told her honestly.


“She’s not going to want to feed is she, she hasn’t had human blood for so long, the fact she will be able to do things again, might make her want to feed.”


“If she does, she will be surprised to find out I won’t allow it, I am hoping her love for you and the human part of her soul that never left her will keep her away from it.” Spike informed his daughter.


“Her soul, I didn’t think most demons had a soul.” Buffy questioned him.


“Most don’t but because of the things that Angelus did to her before turning her, it keeps her child like, and that is why she kept some of her human soul. She was pure Elizabeth, she was going to become a Nun, when Angelus did what he did to her it turned her into a Seer and childlike, that is how she gets her visions by being child like.” Spike informed her.


“Do you have a Soul?” Buffy questioned him.


“I am not 100 percent sure, but yeah I think I managed to keep some of William in me. Because Dru has a half her soul, it would only stand to reason that I did keep part of mine, and before you ask. Yes you have a complete Soul.” Spike told her.


Buffy let that rest and went back to something else he said. “You know you don’t have to call me Elizabeth all the time, Mom and my friends call me Buffy now.”


“Do you even know what the difference between Buffy and Elizabeth is?” He asked her.


“It a nick name I know that, but you can use it too if you want.”


“The name Buffy is normally created by a child’s unsuccessful attempt of saying there own name, once they learn to say it they normally go back to Elizabeth.”


“I liked it, it is different, there was another Elizabeth in school in LA so I started going by Buffy and it just kind of stuck with everyone.”


“I’ll try but I really don’t know if I will be able to call you Buffy, your also known in the demon world as Elizabeth, if we have to leave like what your Watcher thinks we might you are back to strictly being, Elizabeth, of Aurelius.”


Buffy pouted for a minute. “But you changed your name from William to Spike, Angel did his from Liam to first Angelus and now Angel.”


“First off, when Angelus was turned he gave up his human name, I didn’t right away. He is know of Angelus, of Aurelius, just like I am know as William the Bloody, (AKA Spike) of Aurelius. So if we leave he will not be going by Angel.”


They sat in silence and watched the rest of the movie.

10 minutes after the movie ended, Buffy asked “Can we do something we haven’t done for a while?”


“And what would that be Sweetheart?” Spike asked her.


“I want to Spar with you, but I want to use Swords, we haven’t done that in weeks.” She told him.


“We have a while longer, so why not.” Spike said as he got up off the couch, and lead her to the basement where he had a training room set up for her.


Once in the basement he went over and got 2 swords and walked to the centre of the room.


“Alright Sweetheart take your position.” He said as he handed her a sword.


Standing back to back in the centre of the room, Spike started to count off; once he reached 3 they turned and faceed each other.


Standing with their swords ready to face of just waiting for the first person to make there move, then one of them find an opening. She thrust at him with her sword, but he parries and swings around with a thrust of his own, which she also parries. They clash blades several times, and Buffy ducks a wide arcing swing from him. As they prepare to stand off again, and trade one thrust and parry after another. Spike tries another arcing swing from above, but she easily ducks and sidesteps out of the way. Spike tries a swing from above a third time, and again Buffy ducks it and escapes to the side. She jumps up on a pile of mats and swings at him again. He parries, and swings at her legs. She jumps up and over his blade and lands on the floor. He tries for her legs again, but she blocks his attempt with her blade. Spike comes at her with his sword held high, intending to swing from above, but she drops to the floor and rolls out of the way, so he only manages to smash into the punching bag hanging behind her. Buffy kicks his legs out from under him and scrambles back up. He looks up at her still on his knees and swings three times in rapid succession, all of which she parries. He swings a fourth time, and this time Buffy knocks his sword into the mats with her parry and pins it there. She jumps over him into the clear, and raises her sword to continue the fight. He thrusts, and she parries. Then he kicks her in her sword arm, and she stumbles back a step. As they move around the room they start to fight trading blows as much as trading parries and swings then suddenly Buffy falls and is laying on her back, Spike thrusts the sword at her, knowing full well she will stop it, and Buffy reaches up with both hands and catches it between them. Using her strength and pulling he’s sword out of his hands, she turns him and pins him with it.


“Ha I won.” She told him with a smile on her face.


“That you did, you are getting a lot better with a sword.” Spike told her.


“Giles has been working on it with me.” She simply stated to him, before asking “Think they are done yet?”


“I don’t know lets go find out.” Spike told her as they left the room.


AN: Yes if you watch Becoming part two, you will find the sword fight was a lot alike, I used half of it in this chapter, but also changed what I need to change.
