Spoilers: S6 'Buffy', after "As You Were"; and a few years after "Cruel Intentions 1" Goes AU from there.
Disclaimer: "Cruel Intentions" And "Buffy" belong to well, at least I know Buffy belongs to UPN, ME, and Joss Whedon. As for "Cruel Intentions" whoever owns it, owns it! LOL!
Oh, and the song "Full of Grace" is owned by Sarah McLaclan
AN: Just to tell you, the prologue's just basing out the how everyone is in story, so not SO much action in the story as there will be later on.
PROLOGUE
She watched the pouring rain thunder against the window of the limo and sighed. Bringing her mimosa to her glossy lips, she took a short sip, watching the buildings pass without satisfaction. In her opinion, this place pretty much sucked. Yet, she knew, Sunnydale fucking California wouldn't be as boring when she got through with it.
Chuckling, she took another sip of her mimosa, yelling out for the driver to stop in front of her new home. He quickly did, running around to the side of the limo, opening the door for her. And she stepped out, admiring her new mansion. Just what she had bargained for. It was much bigger than her other house, and much nicer looking. Now, all she needed were some guys to bring home and everything would be in place.
"Kathryn?" She turned around at her name being called, and rolled her eyes at her obnoxious maid.
"What, uh...what's your name again?" She asked.
"Jennifer." Her maid answered, looking down, her red hair framing her face.
"Then what do want?" Kathryn asked.
"Your mother's on the phone." Jennifer replied.
And, Kathryn rolled her eyes. Her stupid mother didn't want her to leave in the first place. For all she cared, the bitch could fall of the face off the earth.
"Tell her to fuck off." Kathryn simply said, her hips swaying as she walked into the main room of the mansion, sitting herself on a red plush couch.
Besides for being in a town that didn't seem to have much of anything, life was pretty fucking grand. For starters, she didn't have her reputation to hold her back anymore. That stupid fucking reputation she had gotten from that prissy bitch Annette letting everyone read Sebastian's journal. She was glad the bastard was dead. He deserved it.
She looked down, well she wasn't REALLY glad. She did love him. Not something she'd admit to anyone. But, she did. She sighed. Who cared? What was done was done, and now, a few years after the incident, it was pretty much fucking time to move on.

The winter here's cold, and bitter
It's chilled us to the bone
I haven't seen the sun for weeks
Too long too far from home
----
Spike slammed his drink down on the counter of the bar, growling. And, fighting back tears as the soft song started to play though the speakers. He hated this. He fucking hated this. Why did Buffy have to end their relationship? Why? He loved her so much and....
He growled again as Captain Cardboard came to mind. The stupid bastard had to fuck everything up, with his perfect life and perfect relationship.
And, Buffy got to finally see what a screw up I am, he thought sadly. Taking another huge gulp of his beer and placing his head down on the counter sadly.
****
----
I feel just like I'm sinking
And I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
It's all dark inside, I feel like letting go
----
He didn't know it, but she was watching him. Buffy looked down sadly as she saw how depressed he looked. But, breaking up with him was the right choice, wasn't it? It could never be between them. Especially with her being the Slayer, him being the soulless vampire.
She sighed and sat down at a nearby table, watching as he tried to brush a few stray tears off his cheeks.
And she looked down at her own drink, taking a sip.
She could never love him.
****
----
If all of the strength and all of the courage
Come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
Full of grace
Full of grace
My love
----
Spike growled as the tears came, crushing his beer glass with his bear hands. And, watching with satisfaction as the blood poured down his hand, pooling on the counter. Maybe physical pain would dull the mental. Maybe it just wouldn't hurt so much.
Knowing she could never love a soulless creature as himself. Telling him he could never love. Telling him....
He sighed, watching as a couple next to him giggled happily with each other. Both stealing kisses every now and then. That's what Buffy deserved, to be like that. In the light. Not in the darkness.
Not with him.
****
----
So it's better this way, I say
Having seen this place before
Where everything we say and do
Hurts us all even more
Its just that we stayed, too long
In the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
It's all dark inside, I feel like letting go
----
She knew his sadness must of reflected her own as he sobbed on the counter. And, a single tear made it's way down her cheek, but she brushed it away quickly. Because now, all she could do was that. All she could do was watch him.
It was so much better this way, wasn't it? Things would be less complicated. But the way she was feeling told it all. She never thought she would feel this low after breaking up with him.
Weren't things supposed to get better after breaking everything off with him? Weren't they?
****
----
If all of the strength
And all of the courage
Come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
Full of grace
----
He loved her so much. He loved her with all his being. And all she could do was tell him:
"It's over."
And, it was. And, he had a feeling this was it. There would be no more nightly lust sessions between the two. No more screaming each other's name's in the dark of the night.
No more Buffy and Spike.
There never was an us, he thought.
There never will be.
And, right then he felt as if everything was over. His whole world came crashing around him and he knew this was it. He had no more purpose.
****
She sighed, standing up and looking at him one last time. She couldn't dwell on what was done. She had to move forward. She had to move on. She did it with Angel and she had loved him so much. And she knew she didn't love Spike.
Liar! Her mind screamed, but she ignored the tiny voice that told her to turn around and jump into his arms. And with a final decision she walked out of the Bronze, and on with her life.
Yet, the last words of the song still echoed in her head:
----
I know I could love you much better than this
It's better this way
----
****
Spike slowly made his way out of the bar, the bottle still clutched in his hand as he took another long gulp from the bottle. Waiting for the numbness to overtake his body. And, he groaned when he ran right into the love of his life.
"Buffy," He croaked. "Stop doing this to me."
Kathryn looked at the rather attractive man strangely, "I'm n-" But, she stopped mid-sentence realizing he thought she was someone else, and a devilish smile overcame her features.
This would be fun.
TBC....now the adventure begins!
Oh, and please tell me this was good. And, then I will continue!
