An Unnatural Scent - Chapter 1

It had been over a year since Sunnydale sank when everyone pretty much had to gather together again to help save Angel and his group with their apocalypse. It ended up being pretty anti-climatic. The slayers came, those available anyway, they slew, most gruesomely, and they won, as expected, with no casualties even, though there were some rather messy wounds, easily healed with a mixture of modern medicine and magic.

Willow was quite proud of herself because of that. She'd used the past year in South America with Kennedy to improve her skills to the point that she could use magic to heal non-fatal wounds almost immediately and turn mortal wounds into week long hospital visits. Case in point: Wesley. Kennedy was very proud of Willow too. Each discovery or improvement Willow made would turn into all night celebrations of a certain nature. This actually did inspire Willow a great deal.

Buffy was impressed. She had no idea Willow had been researching this at all. Buffy had been forced to slay the Immortal not that long ago because of plans she'd found to sell Dawn's blood. It turns out that 'immortal' was not an accurate name for him. Further looks into his paperwork revealed him to be an agent of the Circle of the Black Thorn. His mission had been to distract Buffy and kill her if need be. His desire to add to his already considerable wealth had caused Buffy to discover these plans. This is how the white hats at the Watcher's Council had won the battle in L.A. Buffy had seen the plans, contacted her friends and had them all magically transported to L.A. just in time to save the day. The only people absent were Faith and Robin who were holding the fort in Cleveland and Giles in London.

Xander stood with the Scoobies, surrounded by over a dozen slayers that he'd found in Africa and that had joined him in this crazy plan to save Deadboy and the world. He's been doing good this past year. He'd helped stop a couple of apocalypses in Africa, been locating slayers, and encouraging people in the good fight, among other things.

Dawn smiled as she watched her sister's reunion with her friends. Dawn had been worried about how into the Immortal her sister had been. Dawn smirked as Buffy tore into Spike, verbally not physically, before claiming second for herself. Spike's cry of 'Oy, Bit!' only made her smirk harder. He deserved it for not telling anyone he was alive. And Angel not telling anyone meant she was going to be calling him Deadboy for awhile.

Spike was on an emotional rollercoaster. As annoyed as he was that Buffy was reacting to him being alive as she was, he was also happy that she was so emotional about it. With a quick 'Hell with it!' thought to himself he reached forward, grabbed Buffy's head, pulled her in for a quick kiss that ended up not being so quick as Buffy wrapped her arms around his neck and shoulders and returned his kiss passionately. Dawn's soft cry of 'Ew, no seconds!' just seemed to drive them to more passion.

Angel watched on annoyed. He may have given up on Buffy romantically but that didn't mean seeing her with another man didn't frustrate him. It being Spike just made it worse. Sure it was a good thing they'd won the day but why did Spike get to be the one who got the girl? Angel's eyes narrowed as he saw Connor going over to talk to Dawn. He didn't like the way they were smiling at each other. He was too young to be a grandfather! Err…

Gunn watched on to the various reunions around him with a smile. Willow had managed to heal the damage he'd received that day. He watched her for a moment thinking back to the first time he'd met her, right after Buffy had died. Between then and now she was night and day. It was hard to believe that the mourning girl he'd met only a few years ago was now a woman, a very open happy lesbian. Not even his supernatural abilities as a lawyer could stop his thoughts from going into the gutter as Kennedy took Buffy and Spike's kiss as a challenge and was kissing Willow just as passionately.

Illyria watched on as her pet enjoyed his reunion with his mate. Illyria had watched the battle and decided that although his mate was mortal her gifts as a slayer made her worthy of her pet. She frowned as she again caught a scent that was familiar and unnatural. She wasn't sure what was bothering her, but she'd figure it out. Her abilities as a warrior were not the only reason she'd been God-King. Her abilities as a general combined with Fred's scientific mind made her a force to be reckoned with.

"Guys, guys! We've got impressionable children here," Xander called out as he jokingly covered Dawn's eyes. "Not that I'm not enjoying the show, Willow."

Willow blushed as she separated from Kennedy, Buffy and Spike doing the same. Both couples did keep an arm around the other. Dawn ducked out away from Xander, giving him an affectionate swat before accidentally falling into Connor's arms. Dawn blushed as he helped her stand back up.

"You!" Illyria declared pointing a finger at Xander. "You are what is bothering me with your unnatural scent!"

REVIEWS INSPIRE ME!

Ok… I probably shouldn't have started yet another story. This makes 6 if you include the other story I posted today. I thought of this story line awhile ago and now it's haunting me. I can't get it out of my head and ended up writing this during my free time at work. Hope you all like it.
