Author's Chapter Notes:
Thank you so much, you’re always sooo kind and make me happy!!
Hunted (II) (I took something from ‘What’s my line? Pt. 1’, but it’s really quite different!)

Buffy got ready to fight, too, but their opponent was the one who made the first move, swinging his leg to kick them, but the two blondes managed to dodge to avoid his move.
Spike skated quickly to situate himself behind their attacker, but he anticipated the vampire’s action, sending him to the ground with a punch.
Buffy hurled to him, but once again their enemy was faster and he lifted her by her neck, starting to strangle her, by using both of his hands.
“Sp... i... ke...” she called him out with a ghost of voice, trying to set herself free without success. This enemy was very strong.
“Be a real man and fight with a man, buddy!” Spike growled totally enraged, punching him on the back with all his might, managing to set Buffy free as the poor girl coughed and breathed deeply, trying to fill her lungs with air as she massaged her neck.

When the bounty killer recovered from the blow and got up, Buffy and Spike had already run to the opposite side of the rink.
“Luv, I think we’ll have to do a bit of teamwork!” Spike suggested to her, looking at the blade of her skates. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” he went on.
“Of course, I am. On the count of three?” she smiled at him, as they skated back at high speed towards their enemy who couldn’t imagine what the two blondes were planning to do.
“One...” Spike exclaimed, as they got closer to him. “Two...” he continued, grabbing Buffy by the hands. “Three!” the vampire concluded, lifting her and turning with her as she swung her leg towards the fighter, and before he could even realize what had happen, the blade had already ripped out his throat, allowing him to have only a few seconds of life, before falling dead on the rink.
“I guess we won!” Spike smirked satisfied.
“But without you I would be dead right now. Thank you, William, you’re my hero!” she smiled at him, kissing her vampire without even waiting for him to shift back into his human visage.

Hidden in the shadows, someone had seen the whole scene.

“Enough ice for tonight! It’s not fair, anyway, this was supposed to be a * relaxing * night!” Buffy complained, leaving the rink with Spike.
They were already on their way to Revello Drive, but Buffy stopped walking all of the sudden.
“Wait. I can’t go home, it’s the first place where they’ll look in!” she explained, as he lighted a cigarette on. “Two of them are still alive, and I don’t even know how the last one looks like!” she went on.
“You’re right, pet...” he answered, but they both heard some steps behind their back, so they turned abruptly, especially Buffy who immediately got into fight stance.
It was a slim boy that seemed totally harmless, actually he seemed to be quite scared of them.
He held a map of Sunnydale in one hand and there was camera hanging around his neck.
“Hey... cal... calm down... people, I... I just wanted... to... to ask you if... you... you know whe... where the church is...” the boy justified, stuttering unsurely, so the two blondes calmed down.
“It’s a couple of blocks from here, buddy. Anyway, you shouldn’t be here, asking for information at this time, wandering around all alone!” Spike answered. “You can visit the bloody church tomorrow, now go back to your hotel as long as you still have the chance...” the vampire advised him, taking off with his girlfriend and leaving his interlocutor kind of confused.

Buffy chuckled.
“What?” Spike asked, happy because she was smiling again, ever since the meeting with the bounty killer on the ice-skating rink Buffy had been tense and upset.
“You! The Big Bad just helped and warned a boy who could be his dinner...” she explained.
“You’re right, Slayer. Stay here, be right back, it won’t take me too long...” he sneered, pretending to go back.
“Spike! Come back here, immediately!” she pretended to scold him.
“Ok, but swear that this will be our little secret!” he begged her, fearing for his reputation.
“Ok. After all, we’ve got plenty of little secrets already!” she giggled, but then she became deadly serious. “Spike, where should I go now? Mom is away, so I don’t have to protect her. And I can’t go to Will, to Xan or to my Watcher, either, I don’t want to put them in danger!” she explained.
“That’s my Slayer!” he smiled at her. “Pet, I’m sorry I can’t take you with me to the warehouse. Well, I could say that somehow I managed to kidnap you, but... Naaah, it’s too bloody dangerous, and Dru could hurt you... bad idea!” he commented, shaking his head. “Bugger it! You know what? I won’t come back, either, we’ll find a nice crypt for us at the graveyard and I’ll stay with you, sunshine!” he decided.
“Oh, Spike, thank you, but you can’t. Dru will wonder why...”
“No, Dru won’t wonder a sodding thing! We argued yesterday because of this, so she’ll think I didn’t come back because I’m still crossed with her!” he explained. “See, my pet? I can stay, and I’m bloody gonna stay! So now, let’s go!” he exhorted her, but not before he gave her a very sweet kiss.

After a few minutes they were already at the main cemetery, and it wasn’t very hard for them to find an abandoned crypt… after the two blondes eliminated the previous owners, of course!
There was a rug on the floor, so Spike and Buffy sat on it.
“Now, try to sleep, luv!” he whispered to her, kissing her forehead.
“I can’t, I’m too agitated, Spike! I’ve feared for myself just once... with the Master... when he almost killed me.. Well, technically he did... but Xander saved me just in time...” she commented as he looked at her confused and astonished, without understanding what she meant. “And this is the second time I’m really, really scared. They will find me, Spike!” she went on, visibly worried.
“No, pet. They won’t look in a graveyard. It’s not their style. Anyway, if they come, I’m here to protect you, my sunshine!”
“Oh, Spike, I love you!” she murmured, kissing him tenderly.
“I was about to get worried, you hadn’t told me that yet tonight!” he smiled, deepening their kiss. “I love you, too, Buffy! Now, sleep, you need it!” he advised her, hugging her from behind, as she leaned her head on his chest, closing her eyes with a more serene expression on her face.
