I forgot that part 9 had bounced...forgot to resend...here it is! Title: King of the World (9/10) Author: ~Ripe Wicked Plum~ a.k.a. Goth Spike (ripe_wicked_plum@hotmail.com) Distribution: Everywhere and anywhere provided my name is left attached and you let me know where it is posted. Description: Spike meets a celebrity on the streets of Sunnydale, wackiness ensues. Rating: Overall, I'd say R for language and violence. Feedback: "Do you like it, Baby?" Disclaimer: Inspired by a thread on the Unholy Allies list. The original idea wasn't mine, but I was the first to do anything with it. The characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer are not my creations. They are the products of Joss Whedon's incredibly vivid imagination. Leo is not mine either. He is the product of our warped society. Leo whimpered and avoided making eye contact with Spike. "I asked you a question, Lad. Who is the 'king of the world' now?" "You are," Leo said, weakly. "Louder. You're an actor, project." "You are." "Who is?" "Spike." "I want you to say it." "Spike is the king of the world," Leo said. "You 'ave no idea what it's like to drown, do you?" Spike asked, stepping away from the boy. "No." "Yet you 'ave no qualms," he said, pacing before the boy, "no qualms at all, about makin' money off of those people's deaths." "What do you care about them? I haven't done anything to you and you're torturing me. Who the hell are you to question me about morals?" "Well, just so happens, I knew," he said, punching him in the solar plexus, knocking the wind out of him, "people on that ship. I had friends on that boat." "You had friends on the Titanic? How old are you?" "Older than I look." Spike was tired of hearing the boy's voice. He gagged him and continued to torture him. He pulled a knife out of his coat pocket. Flipping it open, he smiled at Leo. "Don't worry, Mate. This'll hurt a lot." He dragged the point of the blade along Leo's hand, dipping it into the blood that dripped from the spike wound. He brought the tip to his mouth, tasting the boy's blood. His eyes rolled back in his head in pleasure. He slit the sleeves and front on Leo's shirt, causing it to fall off. With his bare skin exposed, Leo began to panic. He mumbled offers of compromise around the gag. Spike ignored the boy's pleading. "Ooh lookee, here," Spike said, flicking a finger across one of Leo's nipples. "Looks like I'm not the only one who's enjoyin' this. Don't bother tellin' me it's cold, either, Mate. You're sweatin'. You like bein' tied up by me. You like bein' hurt. Your body betrays you," he said as Leo mumbled an objection around the gag. Spike's hand trailed down to the front of the boy's pants, cupping his manhood briefly. Leo stiffened at his touch and Spike smiled, cruelly. "Ah, so our twee, little bloke is a bit of a poof. Too bad you didn't let me know earlier. We could've 'ad some fun. As it is now, with you bein' pinned to the wall and all, it's just not a good idea. You'd die too quickly of blood loss if I removed the spikes. Pity you seemed so afraid of me last night. I could've given you a bright point in your last hours. I guess it wasn't to be. More's the pity. I bet you'd 'ave been a good lay, too. Nice, tight arse." Spike dug the tip of the dagger into the boy's chest, sliding it just under the first few layers of skin. Leo screamed around the gag. He repeated this again and again until Leo's chest was covered in a forest of cuts, trickling blood along his tanned skin. After quite some time, Spike tired of hearing Titanic in the background. He walked over to the VCR and put Romeo and Juliet in. ~Ripe Wicked Plum~ - -- ICQ UIN=2607806 Goth Spike All hail the Lettuce King! I'm a Spike Girl, ask me how! Spike's Ducks...and proud of it!

SPOILERS: None. FEEDBACK: Pretty please with a cherry on top! ***** =09The boat ride from Ireland to the United States had not been a pleasant= one for Buffy or Angel. Because of the sunlight, Angel spent all his time in a storage room. Not wanting to leave his side, Buffy stayed with him. She regretted this, though, because of the rough seas. Being inside, she was v= ery seasick the entire ride. =09Because of a storm, the ship landed in Florida instead of going all the= way to California. It was mid-afternoon when it landed, so Buffy and Angel had= to sit on the ship for another few hours until sunset. This was dificult; the= y knew that the ship wouldn=92t leave, but they worried about being found. =09There was just enough money for Buffy to buy herself food. It took a li= ttle time for Buffy to adjust to sleeping during the day and traveling at night= . They sometimes walked, sometimes hitch-hiked, sometimes boated across the rivers. It was not an easy journey, but they both made it to Sunnydale. =09The first place Angel went was to his apartment. He had neglected it al= most the whole time he was Angelus and was gone for a whole year in hell, but everything was the way he had left it. =09He sat on the bed, and Buffy slowly sat next to him. "The last time I w= as here with you was the happiest moment of my entire life," Buffy said and smiled. =09"But last time I was here with you," he said, "was when you came lookin= g for me. The things I said=85" =09"That wasn=92t you." Tears almost came down her cheeks. "The last time = I was here with you was when we made love. That was the most pleasurable moment = I=92ve ever felt. You couldn=92t have know what was going to happen." =09"But I killed Jenny, I tortured Giles, and you=85I did and said unthink= able things to you. I deserve to be hell right now." =09"It=92s not your fault." Gently, she kissed him on the cheek. "I=92ve g= ot to go home. But I=92ll come back later, okay?" =09After one last kiss, she left the apartment. Heading towards her house,= she past the Bronze and the cemetery. Memories flooded her head; some of good, happy times, others of painful, lonely times. =09Willow and Xander; those were her two best friends, and she had just le= ft them. Without saying anything, she had skipped town, leaving them to fight demons on their own. They were probably the two people she missed the most= . Besides Angel, that is. =09When she got to her house, she raised her hand to knock. <> she thought= , <> =09Turning around, she headed towards the school. It was totally deserted = except for the library. Without a second thought, she pushed the doors open, expecting to see Giles, Willow, Xander, and Cordelia researching some demo= n. But none of them were there. =09Within two seconds of stepping in the library, a tall, blond, muscular eighteen-year-old girl grabbed her neck and shoved her against the wall. H= er eyes pierced into Buffy=92s soul. Looking her over from head to toe, she g= ave a disgusted look. "Who the hell-" "You made a big mistake coming here," she said sharply, cold and uncaring. =09Buffy easily knocked her hand away and hit her across the face, knockin= g her on the ground. Quickly, she stood in fighting stance, preparing for the gi= rl to stand up. "What=92d you do to Giles?" =09Instantly, the girl jumped up and stood in fighting position. "Mr. Gile= s is none of your concern. You are strong." They exchanged a few punches, the g= irl tripped Buffy, knocking her over. "But I am stronger." She stood over Buffy, and Buffy kicked her in the jaw, knocking her down. = The two each scrambled up, and the girl threw Buffy into the wall. Holding her head, Buffy just sat there. Grabbing an ax, she swung at Buffy=92s head, b= ut Buffy ducked and kicked her ankle, tripping her. Grabbing the ax out of the wall, she held it up, ready to swing, but she h= eard a voice. "No, stop!" Turning around, she saw the owner of the voice. "Giles!" she cried, runnin= g over him. "Oh my God," he whispered, hugging her. The two stood there, embracing, for a few moments while each regained composure. When the girl got up, she pushed Buffy away from Giles. "Cassandra!" he yelled. "What are you doing?" "The girl," she said, "is strong. She attacked me. She must be a demon." Buffy stood up, giving Giles a confused look. "You know her?" "Yes. Buffy, this is Cassandra, the Vampire Slayer." ***** End Part 1 "Surprises" 2/? by Jaclyn Link TITLE: Surprises AUTHOR: Jaclyn Link E-MAIL: Angel75427@aol.com DISCLAIMER: All Buffy characters belong to Joss Wheden, Mutant Enemy, 20th Century Fox, Sandollar Television, Kuzui Productions, etc. DISTRIBUTION: Ask me first.

"Cassandra is a Vampire Slayer, like you." "I, I don=92t understand. I=92m the Slayer, and you=92re my Watcher. Why w= ere you sent another Slayer?" A hurt, betrayed look formed on her face. Now she ha= d lost Giles as well as everyone else. "After Kendra died, there was, um, another Slayer called. Since you had le= ft, I had no Slayer to train.

Giles, I was here first. I=92m the one t= hat should be trained by you. I=92m the one who was with you for two years." "You left," Cassandra hissed. "You abandoned your duty as the Slayer. I to= ok over. When you left Sunnydale, you lost Mr. Giles. And why did you leave? = Oh yeah, you had to send a vampire to hell, a place that he should be." Buffy=92s face turned red with fury. "Don=92t you ever say another bad wor= d about him. I love him. The two just stood staring at each other, hate in their e= yes. "I made a mistake coming here. I shouldn=92t have come back, Giles, even i= f Angel is with me." "He, he=92s with you?" Giles asked. =09"Then I will slay him," Cassandra said, her nose in the air. =09Buffy quickly hit her across the face. Grabbing her by the neck, she sl= ammed her against the wall.

I want to talk to you in my office first." Giles grabbed her arm and brought an annoyed Buffy into his office. Shutti= ng the door, he started to speak. "I know this is hard on you. But it was har= d on all of us." Buffy rolled her eyes. "Please, Buffy, it will be hard enough training two Slayers, but to have them fighting as well; that would be impossible." =09"Look, I=92ll be nice to her if she doesn=92t try to tell be how to run= my life or criticize the way I deal with being the Slayer." =09"Fine." =09"I=92ll drop by tomorrow." =09With that, Buffy walked out to be greeted by Cassandra. =09"You don=92t live or act like a Slayer should. You do everything on you= r own without thinking. Maybe if you took orders, Angel wouldn=92t have become Angelus." =09"Don=92t lecture me," Buffy hissed as she walked towards the door. =09"You hurt Giles very much when you left. Don=92t you dare do it again." =09"Don=92t tell me how to live my life." =09Angry and hurt, Buffy walked out of the library. ***** End Part 2 ------------------------------ End of buffyfic-digest V2 #337 ****************************** To subscribe to buffyfic or buffyfic-digest, send the command subscribe buffyfic-digest or subscribe buffy to majordomo@xmission.com.
