Chapter 2
"If your happy that's all I can ask for," Buffy had said. Willow was replaying the moment in her head over and over again trying to find out what had made Buffy run out, besides the obvious new gay thing.
Willow looked out the window of he dorm room she shared with her best friend and saw the sun starting to rise. Buffy still wasn't home so Willow was really starting to get worried that Buffy had got jumped by a vamp or something. It didn't help that some time later at nine o'clock Buffy still wasn't home.
At that time Willow decided that something must have happened to Buffy so she called Giles. The phone rang three times before Giles answered in a tired voice, "Hello."
"Giles thank god. I might need your help," a silence met her on the other side of the phone so she continued, "Buffy left late last night after her patrol and still hasn't came back."
"Why would she leave if she already went through her patrol?" Giles questioned, asking it more to himself than to Willow.
Willow paused for a moment not knowing whether to tell Giles what had happened or lie. She decided to tiptoe around the question, "Um... Buffy kinda got some news that I don't think she could take and she just took off."
"Willow what got her to leave it might have importance in this um situation," Giles said doing the opposite of what Willow wanted and asking more questions.
"Giles I will tell you all when I get there I don't want to repeat this a ton of times," Willow said hoping Giles got the hint.
"Okay Willow come meet us here in about an hour then," Giles said and hung up saying goodbye.
An hour later Willow was sitting in one of Giles' armchairs starting to tell her story to the scoobies, "So I come into our dorm, and she is pacing like mad across the room. I saw her fiddling with something in her pocket don't know what it was but might help explain why she left."
"I don't get it Will I mean you guys are best friends why would she just walk out," Anya said a confused look on her face from her position on Xander's knee.
Willow let out a sigh and just continued her story, "Then we get talking you know about normal stuff and all of a sudden I told her this secret I have been keeping and she freaks out and runs out."
"Willow is important to know what you said if it might help explain where and why she left," Giles stated leaning against a wall.
Willow blushed and blurted out, "ItoldherthatTaraandIaregirlfriends."
"Wait Will what did you just say, because usually I can understand but did I just hear that you and Tara are girlfriends? As in girlfriend girlfriend?" Xander said his voice raising and looking at his friend in disbelief, eyes wide and staring.
Willow waited a moment and whispered back her answer, "Yes."
Willow looked quickly looked around to gage the others reactions. Giles was cleaning his glasses so hard she thought the lens might pop out. Xander was opening and closing his mouth finding no words that would not sound mean, or intrusive. Anya was looking around at everyone and rolling her eyes, "God you guys. Why do you think Buffy ran out I mean it is really obvious," the others gave no reaction so she went on with a sigh, "Buffy left because she wants Willow to be her orgasm buddy not Tara's. It was fairly obvious if you have been watching Buffy closely the last year or so. Which suprised me that Xander my supposedly straight boyfriend hasn't noticed."
"Anya!" Xander exclaimed loudly looking now at his girlfriend in disbelief.
"What? I was joking about the Xander part. I know you only love me. Right?" Anya pouted out her bottom lip and Xander leaned up to bring her into a kiss that told her she was the only one for him.
"Anya about the B-Buffy part. Did you mean that?" Giles asked still cleaning his glasses.
"Well duh," Anya said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Well then now we know why she left how about we do something about it," Xander suggested pulling Anya off his lap, sitting up and walking towards the door.
Three days later and Buffy still wasn't found. The group had searched almost all of Sunnydale except for the tombs and a couple other places which they were looking in tonight. When Willow called Tara she found she wasn't home so they had Dawn come and help even knowing Buffy wouldn't approve. Willow's thoughts were still spinning ever since Anya had revealed stuff to them.
'Buffy loves me?'
It almost seemed to perfect since she had a thing for Buffy since high school. She also liked Tara. How much she liked Tara, and Buffy she was still trying to figure out. She opened the door to a particularly ugly crypt and slowly went down the slippery steps. She went down and quickly pulled out a flashlight. In the corner she saw a curled up figure pushed against the wall like old garbage. She crossed the room and bent down to look at its face. She stopped just before she got there seeing the dirty blond hair.
"Buffy?" Willow said and got no response.
"Buffy?" she said again in a softer voice. Still no response.
"Buffy?" she said even lower. She finally got the strength to roll the figure over so she could see her, and found that she was staring into the beat up face of.
"Tara?"
