Part twenty three
a/n - Dedicated to all those of you who have been waiting patiently, or not in some cases, for an update
Tara opened her door, surprised to see both Buffy and Willow on the other side.
"Hey... em... what can I do for you?"
Buffy stepped aside and let Willow follow the other girl into the room before going in after her.
"I was wondering if we could borrow some ingredients? The Magic shop is closed and we need them in a hurry."
Tara frowned but asked Willow what she needed.
Buffy handed Willow the list of things they needed and watched as Tara's eyes skimmed over it.
"I have them all, but this is a truth spell, you know how they can go wrong Willow."
Willow smiled at her friend.
"I know, but its important."
Tara seemed to be studying them before she nodded her head and started packing up the things they needed.
-----
Riley was awake when they got back to Giles.
"Willow what the hell is going on?"
Buffy didn't like the tone he used on her girlfriend and glared at him as she walked passed.
"Riley, we know what you are apart of."
His eyes widened before turning stormy as he looked around the room.
He had just woken up and saw the blonde vampire the Initiative had been looking for.
"I don't know what your talking about."
Everyone rolled their eyes at him.
"Did you get it?"
Willow nodded her head and handed the bag to Giles, watching as he left to prepare the spell.
Buffy took hold of Willow's hand and led her out into Giles private courtyard, knowing the man in question would be busy for a while, giving them some spare time.
Willow followed without protest and sat down in one of the comfy seats the watcher kept out there.
Buffy smiled at her before lifting her up and taking Willow's seat, before sitting Willow in her lap.
"I've missed being able to do this." Buffy sighed and buried her head into Willow's neck, smiling at the shiver that ran through the redheads body.
Willow pulled back and brought their lips together for a gentle kiss.
Buffy moaned low in her throat and tightened her grip on Willow, pulling her flush against her body.
Willow shifted so that she was straddling Buffy, making the slayer growl at the sensation.
Willow broke off the kiss, but never moved her body away.
"Okay, so explain the growling."
Buffy blushed and laughed at the same time.
"That's what your thinking about right now? I'm offended." She didn't look it though. She looked happy.
"Well, its new, I was just wondering."
Buffy pulled Willow close and breathed in her smell.
"Good new or bad new?"
Willow's eyes rolled back as Buffy ran her teeth over the sensitive spot behind her left ear.
"Good, definitely good."
"Then what does it matter?"
Buffy never gave Willow the chance to respond as she captured her lips again.
As her mouth made love to Willow's, Buffy hands began wandering.
Willow moaned as one of Buffy's hands crept under her tee-shirt, caressing the smooth skin she found there.
Wanting to give as good as she was getting, Willow tangled her hands in Buffy's hair and pulled her girlfriend closer, scrapping her nails along the blondes scalp, making her purr in response.
Shocked, Willow pulled back.
"You purr now too?"
Buffy didn't bother answering and pulled an unresisting Willow's back into the kiss.
Each were breathing hard through their noses, but neither wanted to stop kissing the other.
Just as Buffy's hand was moving to cup Willow's breast, the door opened.
"Sorry to interrupt guys, but Giles says he's ready." Xander snuck back inside so Buffy wouldn't hit him for interrupting what he knew was a personal moment.
Buffy sighed and leaned her head back, groaning as Willow followed the movement, running her tongue along Buffy's neck and pausing where her neck met her shoulder, placing little kisses there.
"We need a holiday, somewhere no one knows us and where no one can interrupt us."
Willow smiled, liking the idea.
"Come on, the sooner we do this, the sooner we can do... other things."
Buffy looked up and their eyes met.
They both knew that tonight was the night.
-----
Giles finished the spell and the rest watched to see what would happen.
Willow squeezed Buffy's hand before letting go and walking over to the bound commando.
"What should I ask him to make sure it works?"
Buffy shrugged her shoulders and watched her girlfriend moved closer to Riley.
"Something personal."
Willow's forehead creased before her eyes widened.
"When did you first have sex?"
"Willow! I didn't mean that personal."
"Nineteen." There was no emotion in Riley's voice.
"Okay, so it worked. Who is going to ask the questions?"
Everyone turned to face Buffy and she sighed before walking forward.
"Okay, who are the commandoes?"
"Solders that protect humans against evil."
Buffy rolled her eyes.
"He's been brainwashed."
Tom nudged her to keep going.
"What do you call yourselves?"
"The Initiative."
"What do you do to the demons?"
"I bag and tag them, then the scientists do what they want, after I hand them over, I don't care what happens to them." Still there was no emotion in his voice.
"Is it only demons you hunt?"
He hesitated, like he wanted to say yes, but he couldn't.
"No, we take anyone who is considered to be on the side of evil."
Buffy frowned and stepped closer to him.
"Like who?"
"Anyone that befriends a demon, warlocks, witches, anyone with any supernatural ability who are completely human."
Buffy's eyes turned cold as she turned her head to look at Willow.
"Witches?"
Riley answered without hesitation this time.
"They are filthy, playing with their magic's, its against nature. They are no better that the demons themselves."
Buffy lifted him out of the chair, ripping his bindings off him without thought and hauled him against the wall. Everyone flinched when they heard the plaster crack.
Jonny went to try and stop her, but Tom held him back.
Buffy had murder in her eyes, and he didn't want anything to tip her over the edge.
"Are they making a demon?" Each word was clipped, showing he occupants of the room just how angry Buffy was.
"Yes, but its classified. That's all know."
Buffy released him and stalked over to Giles weapon chest.
Opening it, she grabbed out her favourite sword.
"Take me to someone who knows more then."
Tom walked to stand beside him charge, knowing that there would be no changing her mind over this.
"Walsh, Professor Walsh will know."
Willow's eyes widened at the implications of that and slumped down in her chair.
Buffy looked at her in sympathy.
"So much for being world renowned."
Willow scowled before stranding up to give Buffy a kiss goodbye.
"Be careful."
Buffy smirked and pulled Riley out by the arm.
"You know me."
Willow's worried gaze met Tom's and he smiled at her reassuringly.
"I'll look after her."
As the slayer manhandled Riley out, Tom shook his head.
