Buffy's POV
"Well this looks like fun."
"Yeah, I guess we're gonna have to hold off on the memory making for a little bit eh?"
She lets go of my hand and we stand back to back in fighting stances.
"Oh I don't know, this looks like it could be a memorable moment. Twenty to two could be interesting."
"Yeah I guess so. Then again it could also be deadly and potentially painful."
She laughs.
"True, but what isn't when it comes to you and me?"
"You're right, are you...?"
"B?"
"Hmm?"
"Vamp at two o'clock, kinda hanging back from the crowd."
I look to where she's pointing in a 2 o'clock direction.
There's a vamp, brown hair, kinda ruggedly handsome for a blood sucking fiend standing away from the soon to be battle field.
"What about him?"
"I think that's him."
Him?
"Him who?"
"The him who murdered Riley. I'm pretty sure that's him."
"Pretty sure?"
She's silent for a moment.
"It's him. Someone gets murdered in front of you. You tend to remember the murderer's face."
Well, yeah...
"Yeah, don't I know it?"
"Right, of course."
If that's the guy that murdered Riley then, then I can make it right. I can avenge Riley's death. All I need is...
I'm suddenly very aware that I don't have a stake on me.
"Faith, do you..."
She shoves a stake in my face and I take it.
"Thanks."
"No problem, I had an extra one handy. Tell ya what, if I get to the son of a bitch first, I'll let you stake him."
"Thanks sweetie."
I swear I can hear her groan at the sound of her pet name and I smile.
Okay, standing around like this is kinda boring.
"So are we gonna fight? Or just stand here cause I think I'm getting a cramp in my leg."
"Good one B."
"I thought so."
"Kill them."
We give each other some room as the vamps start coming at us.
"Guess not everyone thought so eh B?"
"Guess not."
I kick the vamp coming at me in the stomach and he bends over grabbing his stomach. I stake him in the back and it goes straight through to his heart, dusting him. A few seconds later I hear another vamp turn to dust.
I don't have to worry about her, she'll do fine. Except I can't seem to stop worrying.
Three more vamps come at me and side step the first one, throwing him off balance and I kick him to the ground. I grab the second guy by the collar and spin around to throw him into the third guy, sending them both to the ground a few feet away.
The first vampire starts to get up and I jam a stake through his heart as he gets to his knees. I catch a glimpse of Faith tossing a vamp this way.
"Heads up baby."
I dust him in short order and smile at her.
"Got it honey."
She smiles back as I feel something coming up behind me.
"Yes you do, don't you? Buffy look out..."
I don't even turn around to stake the vamp attacking me from behind and he turns to dust.
"... behind you."
"Like I said... I got it."
The last of the three vamps to attack me tries to attack me as another vamp comes at her from behind.
"Bogey at 6 o'clock B."
"That was gonna be my line."
We run at each other, linking arms as we both jump kick the vamps to a safe distance.
Safe for us, not them.
We both look down at our arms linked together and lose focus. We kiss briefly in the middle of the carnage.
"Okay um, sex comes later Faith. Getting through this alive? Kinda in first position."
We let go of each other as more vampires join the fight. Most of them stay back to keep us from leaving, not that we would the way things are going. Another two vamps are killed by gaping holes in their chests, making seven down and thirteen to go.
Another four bite their own dust before the lot of them get smarter. One of them comes at me and tries to actually fight.
If you can call what these guys do fighting.
I block a right and a left punch before kicking him in the stomach and making him stumble. He tries to kick me in the head but I block it and grab his ankle, taking him off his feet and staking him as I do. Meanwhile three more vamps get dusted by my true love.
With five left Faith and I regroup standing next to each other. There are only three vamps standing between me and the guy who killed Riley. I point at him and glare.
"You!"
He smiles.
"Me..."
"You killed Riley."
"I did. So what?"
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
I try and get at him but Faith holds me back.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
He laughs at me and I wanna tear him apart but Faith still stops me.
"Not today slayer. Get them."
The final three vamps come at us and we make quick work of them, leaving only Riley's killer and who I'm assuming is his second in command.
"You sure about that?"
He suddenly has this look of fear. I like it. He steps back but I don't let him get too far.
"Tell ya what? Why don't we finish this tomorrow?"
"I think we should finish this now."
He keeps trying to make a gap between us and we keep not letting him.
"Okay... sure we... let's um... Dave? You handle it."
He pushes this Dave guy at us and Faith grabs him as Riley's murderer runs off. I start to run after him.
"B, wait..."
What?
"He's getting away."
"I know, but it's okay."
"Why is it okay?"
"Cause we can find out where he's going from this guy."
She pulls him off his feet.
"Where's he going?"
"I would never tell you..."
I bury my stake in his kidney and he screams.
"Where is he going?"
"The hospital. He's going to the hospital."
"Why? Is that where Omega is?"
"No..."
I twist the stake in his side and again he screams.
"Where's Omega?"
"The, the hospital..."
I twist the stake.
"I thought you said he wasn't at the hospital."
"He's not, he... he's under it..."
Faith punches him in the face.
"Under it?"
"There's a cave... not far from the hospital... it leads to his, his lair."
I pull the stake out of his kidney and he tries to stifle his scream.
"Are you lying to us?"
"No... you're gonna stake me whether I lie or not so why would I?"
Faith smiles at him.
"You're not wrong about that."
Next thing I know he's a pile of dust. Faith faces me, the victors of a glorious battle.
I don't think Faith has the battle on her mind right now.
I start to brush the dust off her and she starts pawing at my clothes to do the same. We start eyeing each other up and down.
"Well... at least we know... where they... are... now."
Yes we do.
"Yeah... at least... I'm hungry... how bout you?"
She moves closer to me.
"I kinda had something... else on... my mind..."
I raise my eyebrows at her.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah..."
"Home... nowish..."
"Good... ideaish..."
We sprint home, working off a little extra energy.
Neither of us is in any condition to walk. Not without jumping each other on a public street.
"Well this looks like fun."
"Yeah, I guess we're gonna have to hold off on the memory making for a little bit eh?"
She lets go of my hand and we stand back to back in fighting stances.

"Faith, do you..."
She shoves a stake in my face and I take it.
