Chapter 13
[reviews]
Author's Note: Don't worry, no one has missed anything. Buffy can't walk out into the sunlight but she can be rather... stubborn when she has a plan in mind, as we all know. ^_^
Disclaimer: Joss owns it all. grrrr
Everything up to the episode Empty Places has happened, just a few changes from the last season. One: Wood and Caleb did not show up. Two: So obviously much changeings to endings of series. Also the weapon that Buffy got is changed to an actual scythe.

"What the fuck, B?" Faith was bewildered. The vampire before her was planning on going outside when it was broad daylight. "You do know the suns out, right?"
Buffy only looked at Faith with an eyebrow raised. "I've spent practically my whole life around vampires, I think I know how to move around in the day and not turn into a pile of dust. Plus there's plenty of shade between here and the manhole to keep me covered."
"But why?" Dawn really had no idea why her sister would want to go out. It wasn't as though there were a lot of demons to fight during the day anyway.
Shrugging, Buffy said, "Because I want something to do." The vampire thought that was the end of the conversation and turned for the door.
Suddenly an idea came into the young brunette's mind. "You're trying to kill yourself again aren't you!?" Tears quickly came to her eyes as she reached out to grab her sister's arm.
Buffy turned around to look at Dawn questioningly. (Where the hell did that come from?) Buffy thought.
'Well, you do have a history of mental illness and suicidal tendencies,' her demon offered helpfully.
(Shit! It does look like I'm trying to roast myself.) Buffy suddenly realized. "No! No, Dawn, I swear I'm not trying to dust myself," she said pulling her sister in for a hug. "I'm not planning on going anywhere."
"What did you do now?"
Buffy looked over Dawn's shoulder and saw Willow fully dressed in a forest-green t-shirt and deep-blue jeans. "Oh, hey Will. Guess I scared Dawn a little," Buffy said sheepishly.
Shaking her head, "Well she does have good reason to worry about you." Noticing Buffy was dressed caused the Wiccan to become curious and ask, "What are you planning on doing anyway?"
"Going out to get Willy to do something for me," Buffy said nonchalantly.
'Hmm, things might get a little boring if it's just Willy and us. At least if the others are with us we can show off some of our new tricks to them,' the demon suggested to Buffy.
The vampire looked as though she was considering something for a moment before she spoke again, "Actually do you guys want to come?"
Everyone was caught by surprise. It had been a long time since Buffy had voluntarily asked others to accompany her, so no one really knew how to react. Willow was the first to offer a response, "S-sure, Buffy." This was shortly followed by the other two agreeing.
Smiling at Dawn, Buffy handed her over to Faith. "Get dressed, and wear something of Faith's," Buffy told Dawn. Nodding Dawn left with Faith trailing after.
"Buffy, what are you thinking?" Willow asked.
Still smiling she turned to face Willow and simply answered, "Something fun."
Looking somewhat apprehensive, "It isn't dangerous is it?"
Thinking for a moment Buffy responded, "No, unless Willy's really bumped up his security. And if things go like I'm thinking they will no one will even get hurt, not even Willy."
"How is this going to be fun if we're not even goin to hit Willy?" Faith asked as soon as she was back in the kitchen. Dawn came in right behind her wearing knee high boots, with black leather pants and a purple shirt that left her midriff exposed. There was a necklace around her neck with a cross on it to complete the ensemble.
"Scaring people can actually be pretty fun if you do it the right way," Buffy said slyly. Looking at her little sister Buffy nodded to her, "Looks good on you. Could I have the cross?" Buffy requested.
Not really thinking Dawn did as she was asked. Faith tried to grab the necklace but the vampire was faster and nabbed it first. "Hey! It's alright I can still hold blessed objects," Buffy announced.
Slightly astonished Faith took a step back. Dawn finally realized what she had done and looked shocked at her actions. "What the hell, Buffy? Could you at least give some warning when you do things like that?"
"Sorry," Buffy mumbled as she placed the necklace around her neck. Knowing the others were wondering what she was planning Buffy decided to tell them. "Ok, this is the plan. We go in through one of the sewer entrances to Willy's bar and act relatively normal. When I sit down at the bar I'm going to flash him. Then we-"
Willow interrupted before things went further, "Wait, flash him? I thought we were trying to scare him not give him a happy?"
Chuckling as she comprehended what she said the vampire tried to correct it, "I mean I'll show him my vamp face." At the understanding 'oh's' Buffy went on, "Once he gets that I'm a vampire we're going into the back which is when you guys are going to start acting a little bit more like vamps."
"How do you suggest that?" Dawn asked.
"I don't know, be more skanky?" the older sister responded snidely.
While Dawn began to pout Willow said excitedly, "Oh! Oh! I know, I act like my double."
Smiling at her Buffy nodded, "That'll be perfect Wills."
'Yeah, and who knows, she might get all clingy on us.' Buffy knew her demon had a lecherous smile on her face.
With everyone in agreement they made their way across the street and into the sewers. From there the group went to Willy's to have a little fun. Right before they went into the bar Buffy offered Willow her jacket. At the questioning look Buffy answered, "You need some leather on you."
When they went in virtually all the demons in it stopped what they were doing and looked at the slayers and the other two with them. Buffy and her party strolled right up to the bartender like they owned the place. Once they made it to the bar the demons went back to their drinks. "Hey Willy, think we could go and talk someplace with fewer things around?" she said, throwing an emphasis on the word things like it was some sort of insult.
A nearby patron began growling at them and Willy could only shake in fear, "Slayers... it's been a while since both of you came down here... I don't really want to look like I'm favoring anyone so if you want something I think you could just ask right here?" Willy asked, thinking the party in front of him wouldn't actually start anything with so many around. He wasn't entirely wrong.
Buffy knew the bartender would be stubborn so she decided to show off a little. Letting her face shift, Willy got a good look at Buffy's new status. For the second time since entering the entire bar stopped and stared at Buffy as they felt her aura spread out. "No, Willy, I think we'll go to your back room," she said as she gave him a toothy smile.
Willy jumped back from Buffy as soon as he saw her shift. He was about to do as she said when he saw the cross dangling from her neck. "Hey! You've got a cross on ya, so that means you probably have a glamour or something put on you by your witchy friend there," he cried, pointing at Willow.
Willow took this as her cue to start acting 'vampy' and walked seductively up to Buffy's back. She placed her head on the vampire's shoulder and her arms around her waist. "Bored now, why can't we have some fun?" Willow purred into Buffy's ear.
Buffy fought the shudder that was trying to run through her as she felt Willow's breath on her ear. Turning to look at Willow she spoke to Willy, "I can promise you that I'm a full fledged vampire. If you want proof I could just rip your throat out."
'Oooo. Please! Just bite into his neck, I know you'll like it,' Buffy's demon pleaded.
(No, we need Willy alive. Plus I'd rather not have everyone freak on me for munching on him.)
Not willing to chance it Willy led the four into a back room where he closed the door and locked it. "Ok, slayers, what do you want? I am trying to run a business here."
Faith just came out of nowhere and punched Willy in the gut causing the little man to crumble to the ground. Dawn calmly walked over to Faith and slid her arms around her waist and took Faith's earlobe in her mouth. The dark slayer leaned back and ground her hips into the brunette while moaning deep in her throat. Dawn knew she was doing a good job and let her hands travel up to grope Faiths breasts.
Willow went over to a chair and turned it around so she could sit in it and lean her arms on its back. "Come on, Buffy, lets just get this done so we can go and do something a lot less boring," she said while suggestively rubbing into the chair's back.
If Buffy had to breathe she knew her breath would have caught in her throat at how Willow was acting, (Damn, we should do this more often.)
'And get her some leather of her own,' Buffy's demon added helpfully.
(Maybe,) Buffy went over and picked Willy off the floor and helped brush off his shirt and straighten it. "Now, Willy, you really should show some better manners. Did you see me being disrespectful to you?" Seeing him try to shake his head and catch his breath Buffy continued, "The thing we want you to do is one simple, tiny, itsy-bitsy job. You only need to tell us if a vampire by the name of Serenity is coming into Sunnydale."
Looking at Buffy cautiously Willy asked, "That's it? Nothing else?"
"Yep, oh and make sure the demon population knows that there's some true power here, and it's me," Buffy kept her demonic face as she turned to Willow and put her hand out to her. The red head took it and stood up, being pulled into an embrace by the slayer vampire. Millimeters apart Buffy looked into Willow's eyes to see if there was any fear in them and found nothing but trust and affection. (Well it's now or never,) Buffy thought and moved in to kiss the witch with her vampiric face. Like their previous one it started slow but quickly built into a raging inferno. With their tongues battling Willow was paying less attention to where it was and accidentally cut it on one of Buffy's fangs. When the vampire tasted the blood she moaned loudly and pulled the redhead's tongue fully into her mouth and sucked on it.
At first Willow tried to pull her tongue away as the pain flared, but when the vampire took it into her own mouth the pain subsided, revealing only pure pleasure. She began to grind into the blond before her only to have things stop when Faith touched her on the shoulder. Breaking the kiss the two looked over at Faith who motioned they should leave.
Smiling evilly at Willy she ran her finger along his chin, "Remember, Willy, you get even a rumor of Serenity coming you run strait to us."
Nodding enthusiastically, "Al-alright, anything you want." Right before Buffy left the room Willy asked, "Di-did you really tu-turn them?"
Giving him another wicked smile Buffy answered with, "Wouldn't you like to know?"
