Ranked #2 in Buffy. After Faith wakes up from her coma with amnesia, she attempts to put her life back together again. Buffy is forced to try and help.
A flying fist comes at me and it whizzes past my face as I barely dodge it.
"Good, good Faith..."
I deflect a few follow up punches.
She's getting really good. I'm actually breaking a sweat.
I try and kick her but she steps back and grabs my leg.
"I got your leg."
I jump over my own leg, making sure my left leg goes right over her head when she ducks it. Her hands twist so quickly that she has to let go and I struggle to get my balance. I sorta half smile at her as my feet are firmly on the ground.
"Got it back..."
She smiles back at me which gives me an opening to counter attack. So I do. I start with a roundhouse kick which she dodges. I follow with a flurry of punches, all of which she manages to deflect.
Great, if this keeps up she'll definitely be ready the next time she goes up against a vampire or two.
"So..."
She tries for a spinning forearm and I'm not ready for it so I block it but I stumble back a few steps in the process.
"Do you think Mr. Giles has found anything yet?"
I probably should've called him this morning and told him we were coming by today.
I grab Faith's arm as she tries for a gut shot and I try and to twist it behind her back. But she twists quickly the other way and I have to let go.
"I dunno, he's usually really good at the research thing..."
I try for a left cross which was a bad idea what with me being right handed and all. Faith shoves me off balance but I manage to roll through it and stay on my feet.
"But I have a feeling that for us to get the whole story we're gonna have to get our hands on that Karameth book."
She tries for a roundhouse kick and I duck it but when I do I use a leg sweep to take her off her feet. I stand up and look down at her.
"Come on Faith, you can do better than that."
Faith bucks her hips and uses the momentum to stand up in a fighting stance.
"Okay then, I will."
I don't give her a chance to do better, I throw three punches at her and I get a major case of déjà vu. I snap back to reality just long enough to have Faith take me off my feet with a leg sweep.
Ow! Okay this really is getting a little too real for my reality.
She climbs on top of me and part of me is hoping that this will end up like my dream... but the other part of me is panicking from fear.
"Faith..."
I squirm as she sits her whole weight on my hips, pinning me down.
"What are you... doing?"
She smiles down at me.
"Taking what I want, isn't that what I do?"
What does she mean?
She leans in slightly. All I can get out is...
"Hmm?"
I start to breath deeper and so does she.
"When you were talking you said I used to have a saying. Want, take, have..."

"Well I want you..."
I try and move her off me but she grabs my arms and pins them above my head. Again I feel like déjà vu has got the better of me as my whole body tingles with heat.
"And right now it looks like I, HAVE you..."
I try to get my hands free but she's got too hard a grip on them. She leans in and whispers to me.
"I guess there's only one thing left to do eh?"
I feel her breath on me and I stop thinking.
"F-Faith... we, we shouldn't..."
"Yes... we should..."
She kisses me and it's everything I thought it would be... everything I dreamed it would be. I start to kiss her back and my whole body gets into it. Her lips are warm and inviting and incredibly soft. She lets go of my wrists and I don't push her away. I run my hands through her hair and pull her closer. I feel like a surge of energy goes through me and into Faith and I know this is right.
She means everything to me. She completes me in a way I've never known before. She's everything I'm not and she makes me better for it.
Another surge goes through me, this time from Faith into me.
I love her with everything that I am.
She breaks the kiss between us and looks down at me.
She gets this weird look on her face, a look I haven't seen since...
