PROLOGUE

After awakening from her coma, Faith was taken by the Council, rehabilitated, and recently returned to Sunnydale. Not reaccepted and essentially ignored by Buffy and the scoobs, Faith works independantly receiving her orders and a paycheck directly from the Council. However, she is still required to remain available to Giles if an emergency should arise.

Meanwhile Buffy and the scoobs focus on college life, leading to an unsuccessful affair for Buffy. In an attempt to dull the pain caused by Parker's rejection, Buffy gets drunk. She unknowingly ingests a cursed beer which causes her to de-evolve, effectively turning her into a cave girl… or as Xander observes… a cave slayer. The little cave-Buffy is difficult to reason with and still possesses her slayer powers which makes her a definite safety hazard to herself and those closest.

Someone needs to look after her, while Giles and the scoobs try to find a reversal spell… or until the curse wears off. They need someone who can contain her... someone else with slayer strength…

PART 1 - WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER?!

Faith turned down her stereo to answer the phone, "Hey."

"Hello Faith," the watcher coughed, obviously uncomfortable, "This is Giles."

"Yeah, I know who it is! What?"

"It appears that we need your assistance with a very specific task."

"Wow, G-man pretty ballsy for you to be callin' me for help, don't ya think?" Faith snickered. "Must be something really important, right?! … hmmm… I'm all choked up that you trust me… Hold on, lemme wipe the tear from my eye and catch my breath… I'm just so overwhelmed... give me second… gotta think about it." Faith snorted, "Okay… I've got my answer… GO TO HELL!… Oh, and Giles make sure to pass that message on too… ya know… to that little self-righteous blond chick. Thanks! And have a nice day!" She slammed down the phone and turned her stereo back up.

A few moments later the phone rang again.

"WHAT?!!"

"Faith, the Council has assured me that your services are available to us when needed. I know that you are aware of that. So are you denying us assistance? I want to be clear about this, before I call them." Giles paused, uncomfortable with having to make the threat.

Faith spoke through clenched teeth, "Hurry up, talk!"

"It's Buffy." Giles cleared his throat, "Look, this is rather difficult to explain over the phone."

"Well you'd better try, because I don't want that bitch or her geek pals stepping a foot into my apartment! You got it!"

"Faith! Now I know you've been doing well thus far; I'm very proud of you and if Buffy were able to be impartial I know she'd say the same thing. You've really made great strides; please don't let your anger toward Buffy hold you back any longer." He sensed Faith's easing up. "What I need is for you to look after Buffy… just for a short while."

"Oh?" The brunette was intrigued despite herself, "Why? What's wrong with her?!"

"That's what's a tad difficult to explain… Can we come over? And more importantly, can I count on your cooperation?" Giles waited; there was a long silence on the other end of the phone followed by a sigh.

"FINE."

Less than a half hour later, Faith was opening the door to a very exhausted and despondant bunch. *Ha! This is great. It's killing them to come to me for help.* Her attitude shifted from an angry type of annoyed to more of an amused sort but still she remained annoyed.

"Looky what the cat's drug in?!" Faith laughed bitterly as she held the door, allowing them to enter. She quickly exchanged glares with Xander and Willow. Buffy, however, remained strangely distracted.

"Um, yes… you know that this situation is one that requires a slayer; that's why we are here…"

Faith gestured toward Buffy who stood quietly sniffing the air, "Well unless my eyes are playin' tricks on me, ya got one…so."

"Faith, be quiet for a moment." Giles snapped. He had been trying to deal with Buffy in her de-evolved state for a few hours and his patience had all but run out.

Xander couldn't resist a gibe, "May I suggest you take a closer look."

Faith sneered at him, before turning back toward Buffy. *Damn! She's dirty! She looks like a little animal. How funny!* "Hey there B, you're not looking so good. In fact you're a bit on the ratty side. What's up … rasslin' around in the mud with some demons… maybe gettin' down and dirty with another vamp boyfriend, I know you like that!… Or have you just let yourself go over some depression… lemme guess, ya didn't get into that sorority, ya wanted… hmmm… c'mon you can talk to Faithy, we're friends… Oh wait minute, no we're not!" Faith chuckled, looking back over at a rather furious Giles.

"Faith, this is serious!"

"Yeah, I'd say so. B is in serious need of some personal hygiene refreshers." She turned back toward Buffy, "Shit, I guess college aint agreeing with ya, after all."

Buffy didn't say anything she just moved toward Faith and sniffed. "Girl smells nice."

"What the fuck?!! Get away from me!" Faith pushed the little caveslayer away.

Willow reached out, trying to pull Buffy back. "No. No. Come here Buffy."

Faith's eyes narrowed, "Why are you talking to her like that? Why is she walking that way? B, are ya hurt or somethin'?" The brunette momentarily forgot her hatred and grabbed Buffy's shoulder trying to spin her around to look at her.

The little blonde turned and growled; Faith stepped back in surprise. She watched as Buffy made her way back over to Willow and grunted. "Girl not nice."

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER?!"

PART 2 - Buffy's New Slayer-sitter

"Calm down!" Giles held up his hand, "We'll explain everything. It should suffice to say that her condition is temporary. But until then…" Giles peered over at Willow.

"So you did this to her?!!" Faith shouted, glaring Willow. *It was bound to happen sometime…all those frickin' spells. Damn you Willow!* The brunette didn't bother pondering why she cared as she cracked her knuckles and stepped toward the red head.

"Hey, you hold on one cotton-pickin' minute. I had nothing to do with this." Willow said defensively, glancing over at Buffy who stood sniffing Xander. "No… definitely not the doer of this, not me… She got drunk.." Faith burst into laughter, preventing Willow from finishing the explaination.

"Whoa! You mean this is from alcohol?! No wonder B never wanted to tie one on. I mean, I've heard of sloppy drunks, but.. for fuck's sake…" Faith roared, clutching her sides. "And this is B drunk!.. Hey B, you're a good time aint ya?!… Get ya a little drunk and you're a REAL animal!!! Grrr!" Faith taunted the blonde laughing even harder.

"It's not so much of the drunk. But the drunk on cursed beer part… that's what's causing this. Right Buffy?… You drank up the curse… with much beer." Xander used a condescending tone as he gently brushed Buffy's filthy hands away.

Little cave-Buffy perked up. "Beer! Want more beer. Like beer. Beer good." She tugged insistently at Xander's sleeve.

"No. Beer bad. Bad, bad beer." Xander turned red when he noticed Faith gaping at him. "What?!" The younger slayer arched her eyebrow. "Don't look at me that way… she's the one who devolved or whatever."

"Huh?! De-what?!!" Faith turned toward Giles for clarification.

"Devolved. It appears that the purpose of the curse was simply to return the beer-drinker to a Cro-Magnon like state." When Faith knitted her brows in confusion, Giles added, "Cro-Magnon are an early variety of homo sapiens. I believe the more familiar term is 'Cave Man'… or in this case 'Cave Girl'."

"Why would anyone bother with that?" The brunette shook her head, perplexed, then snickered when she glimpsed Willow's discomfort. The little slayer was pulling on the red head's arm impatiently, hard enough to make her wince.

"It was a vengeance spell cast by a pub owner. The details aren't really significant, since he wasn't targeting Buffy. Although it's going to hamper Buffy in performing her slayer duties, that's currently not the issue … Our focus here is to expedite Buffy's return to normal… if it's at all feasible; otherwise she will remain in this regressed state for several days,… possibly, and this is in the worse case scenario… But quite possibly we may be dealing with the…" Giles paused and looked at the wild slayer, ".. the 'cave girl' Buffy for even as long as a week."

"Hmm! Yeah, guess that bites." Faith chuckled as she moved to the door and opened it. "Well, good luck with that." She gestured for them to leave, pointing at Buffy as she did so, "And take that little 'cave thing' or whatever you call her with you."

"I've been calling her cave slayer or cave-Buffy; but she'll still respond to Buffy." Xander smiled at his own cleverness, and rocked back on his heels. He had yet to process, that Faith was actually throwing them out.

"Faith, you promised me that you would cooperate." Giles reminded her, but he was prepared for this argument.

"I did. I listened to your sob story, got the funny, and now.. I'm bored… so get out!"

"This visit wasn't for your amusement, Faith. We're here so you can assist us."

"What the hell do you think I can do? I don't know any of that spell crap." Faith griped causing Willow to wrinkle her nose, offended by the comment.

"No, I'm well aware that you don't know spell 'crap'… as you've so eloquently put it. That's not what I'm requesting. Buffy needs supervision, and I expect you to take care of her until she's returned to her normal self."

"So you want me to baby-sit?!" Faith's anger was rising once more. "You got the WRONG girl here, G-man! 'Cause I aint no frickin' baby-sitter! I'm a slayer. My calling is to kill things!… Not coddle them! Besides, why doesn't Red take care of her?!" Faith gestured at Willow, "She likes doing that nurturing mommy shit, and I DON'T!"

Giles glimpsed Buffy trying to make her way out of the apartment. "Faith, hurry! Close the door!"

"Bye, bye." Buffy waved and then made a break for it, running toward the open door.

Faith sighed and slammed the metal door shut quickly, eliciting a shriek of frustration from the little cave slayer. "No! Buffy go now. Get Beer. Girl bad!" She shoved Faith.

"Hey there scruffy, watch it!" The brunette stumbled back, struggling to keep her footing.

"I believe you have your answer as to why Willow can't care for her." Giles spoke calmly, watching as Faith straightened up and brushed herself off.

"No Giles, Faith's right. Xander and I CAN take care of her and should. This is Buffy... our Buffy." Willow started her pleading again. It was the same pleading she had been doing in the car, all the way to Faith's apartment.

The brunette slayer folded her arms across her chest, fuming, and muttering under her breath. "Un-fucking believable… now I have to baby-sit the bitch. Fuck!" *Buffy always wins. Here's just another 'screw Faith over' moment. Fuck!… Fuck them!… And fuck her! Grungy little bitch… she better hope I don't have to watch her. 'Cause I'll lock her in the storage closest… IF SHE'S LUCKY! Otherwise I'll just beat her little ass. Damn Buffy Summers! It's always about Buffy! Buffy! Buffy! Buffy!!!* Faith sneered at Willow who continued begging with even more zeal, soon Xander joined in.

"I'm gonna have to go with Willow on this one. I'm not getting the warm fuzzies from Faith." He gestured toward the brunette. "What if she hurts Buffy? I mean, we know she still hates her, right?"

*Not as much as I hate you!… you pansy-ass weasel!* Faith looked him. Xander shied away, stepping closer to Buffy.

"Please Giles. We can't leave Buffy with her. This is Buffy. Remember?! We love Buffy!!" Willow started to cry, "I won't be able to sleep at night, if we do this. Please Giles, let's leave and take Buffy with us… not only is this unnecessary and extreme… but I think you've forgotten something, WHAT WILL BUFFY SAY ABOUT THIS!… once she's herself again… She'll freak!" Bingo! A wicked smile spread across Faith's face.

*Oh yeah! Pay dirt! This can work out in my favor after all! A big old heaping helpin' of Buffy's wrath… and directed at none other than Giles and her cartoon pals!!! Woohoo! Fucking hilarious! And looky at that, the little witch is crying. Now those two things alone make it all worthwhile!* She glanced back at the dirty little cave-Buffy. *Well, maybe that, and some cash.* "Gimme some money!"

"What?!" Giles asked, caught off guard.

"I said, give me some money. If I'm going to baby-sit, I should get paid. 'Sides your little cave-princess over there has to eat, doesn't she?… and don't be fooled by Buffy's dainty little appearance either; I know how much a slayer needs to eat, and she aint any different… she eats like twice her weight daily… So ante up, tweedy." Faith held out her hand, wiggling her fingers.

Giles furrowed his brow as he reached in his upper coat pocket, retrieving his wallet. "Here. This should cover it."

Faith counted it. *Cheap bastard!* "Yeah, this'll do… for now. I'll give you two days, and then," she paused and thought about it, "Then it's fifty dollars a day for each day after."

Giles nodded, studying Faith closely while he spoke, "Do I have your assurance on her safety… that Buffy will remain unharmed? And that as a slayer you will protect her to the fullest extent of your duty?… which means with your own life." He spoke the last part carefully, quoting the slayer's handbook, and knowing full well that after her stay with the Council, she'd have to be very familiar with that passage.

"Yeah… whatever. You guys can get outta here… your princess has her bodyguard."

"Giles… not feeling confident over here." Xander held up his hand.

"What choice have you got?!" Faith smirked at him, completely enjoying Xander's worried fidgeting.

"Willow, give Faith Buffy's bag." Giles directed while scrutinizing the younger slayer, still trying to fight down his doubts. *No, she won't hurt Buffy. I know she won't. She has been perfect in her duties since being reinstated. She won't hurt her. Buffy's safe here.*

Willow reluctantly picked up the designer tote bag resting near Xander and passed it to Faith.

"Good. Oh, and uh… don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out." Faith smiled and pointed toward the metal door.

As they made their way toward the exit, Giles added, "By the way Faith, one of us will be stopping by at least twice each day… just to check on Buffy's welfare and to keep you abreast of our progressive, of course."

"Sure… And hey, if ya call ahead time and lemme know that you're coming, I'll bake a cake." Faith snorted, motioning for them to leave.

Cave-Buffy followed the group to the door.

"No. No. Buffy, you're staying here." Willow gently informed her, trying to shoo Buffy back into the apartment.

"NO! Buffy go with Willow!"

Faith's grin grew. *This is fantastic! I wish I had popcorn. It's a regular Disney movie showing. Just tuggin' at the heartstrings… like 'Ole Yeller' or somethin'.* She laughed and called out to Willow, "Hey Red, shove her over here… over to me, and I'll hold her down, while you guys leave her."

Willow looked at the brunette, horrified, then walked past and over to the television. "Come here Buffy." She flipped the set on. "Look, television. You like the TV."

Buffy rushed over the television set, excited, and giggling, "Bright colors and tiny little people!" She slapped the top of the set. "TV good."

Faith frowned, "Hey, don't break it."

Willow moved toward the door, and they discreetly slipped out.

Fetching the key for the deadbolt, Faith casually walked over and locked it. The brunette turned and eyed Buffy cautiously, before sauntering off toward the bathroom.

PART 3 - Take A Shower

*Okay, first thing is to get her to take a shower, and then I should feed her something.* Faith turned on the water to let it warm and set out some bath towels. She returned to the other room to get the tote bag… and Buffy.

"Okay B, get up. That's enough TV. You need to take a shower." Faith stepped in front of the television, turning it off.

Buffy grunted and shoved Faith out of the way. "Want people. Where tiny little people go?"

"I'm not sure… I guess they go to their tiny little homes." Faith pointed toward the bathroom. "Now go take a shower."

The petite slayer looked up at Faith and backed away, her green eyes narrowing, "Girl not nice." She ran to the metal door clutching at the handle. "Out! Want out! Buffy find Willow."

"Get away from there!" Faith yelled, bothered by Buffy's reaction.

The little cave slayer smacked on the door with her palms and cried, "Nooo!… Go Now. Out!"

"I said, get away from that door... Now!" The brunette was losing her patience, but her tone softened when the older slayer peered at her fearfully. "Hey it's okay, B. I'm not gonna hurt you or nothin'. Jus' come here." Faith held out a hand, trying to coax Buffy away from the door.

The green eyes filled tears, as they nervously darted around the room searching for an escape.

"That's it...settle down… Now come here." Faith took a few steps toward the frightened blonde who turned and pulled at the doorknob again.

"B, ya might as well give up, 'cause ya aint gettin' out. It's locked… and not even a slayer can kick that door down. I've made sure of it… takin' precautions, ya know… in case YOU ever decided on another surprise visit," Faith snorted.

Buffy tilted her head and studied the other girl with curiousity.

"Of course it was 'cause I was worrying about you showin' up as a knife-wielding bitch… not a neanderthal," the brunette sniped, chuckling afterwards. The cold hate in Faith's voice caused the little blonde to panic; she screamed, and turned kicking the door in desperation.

"OKAY, THAT'S IT!!!" Faith strode over and scooped dirty, little Buffy up, carrying the struggling slayer all the way to the bathroom. The brunette plopped her down and pointed at the tub, "You shower now. No more screwing around! Got it?!"

The tiny slayer peered up at Faith through her tangled blonde locks, "Girl mean. Buffy no want to stay. Go. Let Buffy out." Tears rolled down Buffy's cheeks as she backed away from Faith.

*She's afraid of me! Shit!… yeah she's afraid… dang, she's all trembly.* Faith reached out toward cave-Buffy. "No… wait…shhh… I'm not gonna hurt you… shhhh… it's okay."

Buffy's bottom lip jutted out in the biggest pout Faith's ever seen; she wanted to laugh at the cuteness of it, but the little blonde was crying in earnest.

*Fuck! Now what?!!… Geez B, stop crying.* Watching her was making Faith's eyes mist up, she swiped at them angrily. *What the hell is wrong with me?!.. Screw it!… I need to get B to stop crying… jus' have to make it so she's not afraid of me.* Faith did something that she viewed as drastic. She pulled Buffy into her arms to comfort her.

"It's okay B. I promise I'm not gonna do anything bad to ya. Jus' stop crying… please." Faith stroked the cave slayer's hair gently. *She's all warm and soft… wow, she's really soft… and she's so small… all delicate like.* Faith ran her hands down Buffy's back, fascinated by the feel of the legendary slayer in her arms. *Buffy Summers…*

Cave-Buffy buried her face against Faith's neck and clung to her; she stopped crying, gradually calming. *Girl smells good.* The little blonde sighed.

*She fits perfect in my arms… mmmm.* Faith tightened her grip, holding cave-Buffy more snugly against her body. The smaller slayer slipped a hand up from the back of Faith's neck and started playing with her hair.

Faith froze as a current of desire surged through her, causing her entire body to tingle. *Ohhhh… this is unbelievable… how this feels… I can feel her warm breath against my neck… tickles a bit… she's sooo… ahhh… I jus' wanna…* Faith suddenly pushed Buffy from her, feeling confused and panicked. *WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING?!!!*

The caveslayer's eyes widened with uncertainty. "You're okay now, right?" Faith spoke softly, brushing a few matted locks from Buffy's face.

"Girl smells nice." The little blonde grunted out the words, smiling.

"Uh… I'll take that as a yes. B, you take a shower, and I'll go fix you somethin' to eat. The towels are over here." Faith stepped away, talking fast as Buffy stared back blankly. "I ran the water already so it should be warm enough. Just don't lock the door, okay… ya know, in case ya slip. Oh and don't worry, I won't walk in or nothin." The brunette backed out of the bathroom. "Uh… yeah… so… um… I'll be right out here if ya need something."

Buffy watched her leave. Then the little caveslayer sniffed the air, looking around the room but didn't move; she was waiting for Faith to come back.

PART 4 - Smelly-head Buffy

Dedication: Written for all those who take the time to feedback; you motivate me to take the time to write. Thank you. :)

Faith stood in the kitchen picking through the cabinets for something to feed Buffy. *Hmm… It's gonna be the ole peanut butter & jelly… I guess, I better go to the grocery store tomorrow... damn, I hate doing that shit.*

Faith made several sandwiches, cutting them into fours and setting them on a plate. She placed it into the refrigerator, and then headed off to unpack Buffy's bag. As she passed by the bathroom door, she noticed the shower wasn't running and knocked.

"Hey B, are ya alright in there?" Faith knocked once more, before tentatively opening the door. She peeked in.

Buffy brightened, "Girl came back."

"Yeah… um… B, why aren't you taking your shower. I guess I need to say it; B, you're really kinda scraggly right now, ya know?" Faith spoke gently as she tried not to make Buffy cry again. "Hey, but don't get me wrong, if anyone can pull this look off, it's you… The problem's more that I don't want ya layin' in my bed that dirty... that's all. Okay?"

Faith stood and gazed at cave-girl Buffy; the little blonde warmly returned her smile. *Whoa… She actually does still look good… really good..* The brunette felt a hot flush spread over her skin; she shook off her daze, and walked over to turn the shower on.

*How do I make her get what I'm sayin'?… hmm…* Faith leaned near the tiny slayer and sniffed. "Ooh, cave-B smells bad… needs to shower."

The little slayer looked alarmed; she sniffed herself a bit and then pressed up against Faith sniffing her until the brunette gently pushed her away. Buffy checked herself again, crinkling up her nose as she lifted her arm and sniffed. "Buffy smells bad." She giggled. "Smelly-head Buffy!"

"That's really charming B," Faith laughed and cleared her throat, adding, "So now that we agree you stink, get your ass in there." She gestured toward the shower, and cave-Buffy immediately stepped in.

"No! No! Dammit!.. Get outta there!"

The little slayer quickly stepped back out, now dripping wet. Her lower lip trembled as she came close to tears, hurt and confused by Faith yelling at her. *What girl want?!*

"B, you have to take off your clothes first. Geez!" Faith bent down to untie Buffy's sopping sneakers, and the little blonde bent down to help, nocking noggins with Faith.

"Ow! Hurt. Buffy hurt head."

"Ugh!" Faith rubbed absently her own forehead, before taking Buffy's hands and placing them on her shoulders. "Here use me to balance; now lift this foot."

The caveslayer held on while Faith removed her shoes and socks. She snatched the dripping socks from Faith's hand, giggling as she held them up. "Funny feet."

Faith glanced back down. "I don't know, B. They look pretty damn perfect from here." The brunette ran her hand over both bare feet. Grinning she curled her fingers and tickled at the arch of Buffy's foot, causing a little shriek and more giggles, then she stood.

"Here. B, lift your arms." Faith grabbed the hem of Buffy's green top, pulling it over her head. *Huh… no bra?* She shrugged it off and next reached over to undo Buffy's pants. Faith swallowed hard as she slipped the pants down, grabbing hold of Buffy's underwear to bring them both to the floor at the same time.

Faith kneeled in front of the blonde as she helped her step out of the pants. *Don't look! Don't do it!* But she did; slowly her eyes travelled up over Buffy's body. *Uhhhh… oh… Frickin-a! What 's wrong with me!* Looking away quickly, Faith instructed the little slayer to get into the shower.

Buffy stepped under the water and squealed. "Rain!" She closed her eyes and opened her mouth.

Faith observed as the excited little blonde tried to catch the water and drink it. *Oh shit! She doesn't know how to take a shower.* Reaching out, she switched the nozzle off, and started filling the bathtub instead. "B sit down."

"Oh, stopped raining… rain is good." Cave-Buffy saddened but sat down, noticing that Faith wouldn't look at her. "Buffy is bad? Girl angry?"

"No. No crying… I'm not mad. It's all good... Buffy is good."

The brunette then grabbed the shampoo bottle and squeezed some into the water, swirling her hand around and making bubbles.

Cave-Buffy was enthralled by this and moved her hand around in the water also. *Girl knows magic. Ooh, magicky and pretty... Buffy likes girl. Hurray! Foamy!* "Foamy!"

"You like that B? You like bubble baths?" Faith grinned at the older slayer's hypnotized expression. *She's a cutie.* Scooping up some bubbles, Faith tapped them onto the blonde's nose. The caveslayer stuck out her tongue and licked at the bubbles, getting a mouthful. "No!… B, you don't wanna…" *Too late.* "..do that."

Buffy tried spitting them back out, coughing and wiping at her tongue. "Yuck!..Icky!… soapy… Bubbles bad."

"No, you're right. They ain't much for taste… but they're fun. See?" Faith held a handful of the foam up and blew. "Bubbles can fly." The puff floated past a once again, giggling Buffy.

"Bubbles! Bubbles!" *Bubbles!* The little caveslayer splashed around, scooping up bubbles and blowing them all over.

Faith laughed. "Take it easy there B, or you won't have any in your bath," she spoke teasingly to the rambunctious slayer.

"Lots of bubbles… go… fly…freeeeee" Buffy splashed some more before turning to inform Faith, "Birds fly. Leaves fly. Buffy not fly." The blonde sighed, quiet for a moment. She perked up. *Butterfly fly. hehehe… Tell girl.* "Butterfly fly… fly butterfliessss…" Buffy brightened, happy that Faith laughed.

*She's tryin' to be funny… now that's funny!* Faith chuckled as she squirted the shampoo directly on Buffy's head.

*Ugh!* "What's with the dreadlocks, B?! I gotta get these out, ya know? So try not to be a big crybaby." Faith meticulously worked on the caveslayer's matted hair.

With minimal complaint from Buffy, she managed to carefully comb out most of the tangles. "There. Now you look like the B, I know." Faith said as she piled the lathered hair up on top of Buffy's head. Pleased with the results, she leaned back to admire her skillful work.

Faith's smile faded as she watched the tiny blonde play cheerfully in the tub. *Wow!… she's such a muffin… so sweet like this… letting me help her… I guess B can still be okay… sometimes..* Buffy turned to see Faith lost in thought.

"Girl? Girl?" Cave-Buffy was giving Faith a questioning look.

"Huh? Oh… um… Hey, call me Faith. I'm Faith… me Faith." She pointed towards herself.

"Faith! Faith!… You Faith." The caveslayer sang out gleefully, shoving at the brunette.

"Yep. Me Faith. B, lean back; I have to rinse out the shampoo." Faith braced the older slayer with her arm. "It's okay. I got ya. I won't let you slip. Now tilt your head back… good Buffy." She began pouring water over the sudsy blonde hair. "Shut your eyes, B… so you don't get soap in 'em." Buffy obeyed, fluttering her eyelashes nervously as she trustingly closed her eyes.

Faith finished rinsing Buffy's hair. She glanced at the caveslayer who was still leaning against arm, patiently waiting. The younger slayer smiled at the lightly closed eyes, it was cave-Buffy's effort to please… to be good. *B always tries to be such a goody-goody. Even now… even as a cave girl.*

Faith held her breath as she stared at Buffy's face. Her dark brown eyes roamed over the features. She took in the tiny up-turned nose, the long lashes resting on rosy cheeks, and the slightly parted lips. *Oh jeezuzz… look at her… she looks like a friggin' angel or somethin'… B… Oh Buffy!* The brunette didn't even think, before doing what she did next.

Leaning in, Faith touched her lips delicately to Buffy's. *Dang her lips are soft!* She slowly kissed the older slayer. *Mmmm...* Deepening the kiss, she allowed herself another luxury as slipped her tongue gently inside.

The younger slayer satisfied her curiousity as she learned the taste and feel of Buffy Summers' mouth. *Ahhhh… this is soooo … Goddamn I like this!!* Her hold on the smaller girl tightened briefly.

*Holy fuck!* Faith finally broke the kiss and slowly pulled back to see a surprised little caveslayer peering back up at her.

PART 5 - Buffy Want More

*I JUST KISSED HER?! WHY'D I DO THAT?! FUCK! ME KISSIN' BUFFY FRICKIN' SUMMERS?! I HATE BUFFY SUMMERS!!!* The brunette quickly returned Buffy to a sitting position and released her. "Uhhh…sorry… shouldn't have done that." Faith muttered. She turned back toward the blonde and handed her a wash cloth, then grabbed another. "Here. Let's finish your bath."

*Ooh… warm and tickly in tummy… Buffy like… want more…* "More! Want more!" The caveslayer squeaked out. She leaned toward Faith and closed her eyes to wait.

*Now what?!* "B, open your eyes."

Buffy's eyes popped open like a little dolls. She tilted her head to look at Faith. "Buffy want." The confused caveslayer touched her fingers to her own lips, then touched Faith's. "More?"

Faith glanced away. "No. No more. That was bad." She reached for the soap. "C'mon, we have to hurry this up. It's late and I'm tired. Got it?! Now help out, willya?!" She soaped up both washcloths and got Buffy to start assisting her.

The little blonde remained subdued as she scrubbed herself. Finally she turned toward Faith and asked in a small but curious voice. "Why bad?" When Faith didn't answer, cave-Buffy asked again. "Why? Why bad?" Faith ignored her questions and continued washing Buffy's back.

The little caveslayer's face darkened as she tried for the third time to get an explanation. Her tone became more insistent, "Why? No bad. It good… Why no more?… It good. Buffy want more… Faith want more?"

Faith said nothing, hoping Buffy would drop it; she grabbed the little blonde's arm and started soaping it. The caveslayer growled and pulled away in frustration. "NO!" She shoved Faith hard causing the brunette to slide across the wet floor and hit her head against the half open door.

"SHIT! B! GODDAMMIT!" Faith cursed as she stood up nursing the lump now forming. She looked back over at Buffy. The little blonde sneered, then turned away crossing her arms over her chest. "B, cut it out! Do ya hear me?! I'm not gonna put up with that crap?! Do that again and you can jus' go to bed without eatin' nothin', got it?!" Faith scolded her as she hesitantly approached the bathtub.

The caveslayer faced away from her, refusing to respond. "Fine! Be that way!" Faith gingerly reached out and uncrossed Buffy's arms. *She's right though. I deserved that.* Faith looked around for the wash cloth.

"B, where's the wash cloth?" Buffy ignored her question and stared at the wall. Faith then noticed that Buffy wasn't holding hers either. Sighing, the younger slayer reached into the water to feel around for the washcloth. *They have to be in here somewhere!* Faith's hand brushed up along the inside of Buffy's thighs; she froze. *Dang it!* The brunette glimpsed Buffy's cold look and quickly pulled her hand from the water.

"Screw it!" Faith announced, grabbing the bar of soap, and lathering her hands up instead. "We'll jus' do it like the little savage you are." That earned Faith a sideways glance.

Faith cleared her throat and reached slowly for the caveslayer, gauging her reaction as she placed her soapy hands directly on the girl. "It's okay, B. I'll make this fast." Faith chuckled at her own words.

The caveslayer's head snapped around as she studied Faith with new interest. *What Faith doing?… Faith?… OH… feels funny… Ohhh… feels nice… Buffy like…*

*Whoa… her skin's like silk… Ooo, I dig this… better be careful…* The brunette touched her hand to Buffy's chest. *Fuck yeah!* She felt light-headed as she reverently massaged each breast, soaping them up nicely. *Wow… shit, it's okay… jus' helpin' B… not doin' nothin' wrong.*

Faith let her fingers brush lightly over each of Buffy's nipples, causing them to instantly stiffened and wrinkle. She unconscionsly licked her lips. *I jus' want one in my mouth… for a second even… ahhhh…*

As Faith moved her hand over them again, the hardened nipples tickled her palm. She snuck a peek at the caveslayer's face to see if she noticed. Buffy was looking right at her, watching her. Faith blushed at least three shades of red as she glanced away, returning to her task. *Goddammit Faith! Stop doin' that!… No more pervy thoughts!… No more coppin' a feel!… shouldn't…*

The brunette carefully slid her hand along Buffy's stomach. She cleaned the caveslayer's tummy, making tiny circles with her soapy hand. She glimpsed Buffy smiling. *She likes that.*

*Oooo… Buffy like that… feels nice… Faith nice… Buffy like Faith.* The little slayer peered at Faith intently. *What Faith do now? More touch?… Mmmm…*

Faith could feel herself getting hotter as she allowed her hand to dip lower. *Oh jeezus!… Faith, how ya gonna do this?!* She swallowed, smiling at Buffy.

Faith tried to make it seem casual by talking. "So..um… B, is.. uh… peanut & jelly sandwiches alright?" She moved along the inside of Buffy's thighs, rubbing gently. "Ya know, for dinner?… but it'll be somethin' better tomorrow… We jus' gotta go to the store first, okay?" She waited for Buffy's nod. "Good. See it's all good… Everything's gonna be okay?" Faith whispered the last part as she slid her hand over, touching the little slayer's pussy, caressing it. *Oh wow… fuck… jus' a quick feel won't hurt nothin'… no biggie… jus' givin' her a bath… ohhh.. mmm… softness…*

Buffy arched up, panting when Faith's finger slipped into her folds, and lightly flicked her clitoris. *Buffy likes… feels good… more… want more… Faith touch Buffy more!* The caveslayer shivered and spread her legs further apart.

*Goddamn… oh yeah! this is goddamn good… don't wanna stop… shouldn't do this though... shouldn't be doing this... shouldn't...* Faith's breathing became labored as she continued to stroke Buffy, masturbating the older slayer. *Oh fuck me!… she's sooo…dang… yep… all that… she's the cat's frickin' meow… I'll jus' play with her clit for a sec… damn, I wanna taste her!*

Cave-Buffy writhed around and bucked her hips slightly, seeking Faith's hand. The little slayer ached for more contact.

*Huh?!* Faith was surprised as Buffy suddenly got out of the tub, shoved her down and climbed on top. *What the… holy fuck!*

The little caveslayer grabbed Faith's hand and pressed it to her pussy, grunting out in a demanding tone, "MORE! Buffy want more!"

"B… I don't know that we should…" Faith was thrown off by Buffy's aggressiveness. *I took it too far!… I shouldn't've… oops… Dammit!*

Buffy growled and pinned Faith to the floor. She leaned in, opening her mouth and clamping down on Faith's neck; her teeth lightly grazed the skin. Buffy held her still. "Whatcha doin'?! Fuck!" Faith gradually realized that it was cave-Buffy's way of holding a partner to keep cooperation. *Uh-oh!… I took this way too far… she's friggin' goin' animal-like or somethin'… Is she gonna bite me? 'Cause that'll fuckin' hurt!… Keep it cool, Faith… jus' tell her to fuck off!*

"Hey! B! Get the fuck off, willya?!!! I was jus' playin', ya know?" Buffy pressed, sinking her teeth in slightly as a warning. "Oww!… okay… okay… don't bite.."

*Oh shit! Oh fuck! What's she doin'?!! Hell, she might even rip my throat out!!!* Faith wrestled with her fear, not wanting cave-Buffy to sense it. Gathering her nerve, she spoke up, "B, c'mon… you don't wanna do this… this ain't you, ya know?… I'm sorry… I shouldn't've done what I jus' did… Faith was bad… sorry… 'kay?… get up, willya?"

Buffy lifted her mouth off of the brunette's neck to answer her. Faith saw it as an opportunity and struggled again, only to discover that at the moment, Buffy seemed to be about ten times stronger. *Fuck! What the hell!* Faith couldn't get the blonde to budge, but she did manage to annoy her.

"NO! NO!" Cave-Buffy barked out the command, "YOU NO MOVE!…NO MOVE!" She tilted her head, observing Faith and sniffed. The caveslayer could smell both Faith's fear and arousal. She growled, excitedly. "Buffy strong. Buffy want. Buffy get! Buffy want Faith!"

Faith winced as Buffy tightened her grip letting her know who was boss. The brunette whimpered, "B, whatcha doin'? Ya don't have to get like this?… Uh... If ya jus' get off of me… um… we can talk 'bout it."

"NO! No talk! Touch! Now! Buffy want more! Faith touch Buffy!" Caveslayer demanded in an uncompromising tone.

PART 6 - Girl Mine

"Okay, B… okay…" Faith nervously reached between Buffy's legs; she ran her fingertips lightly over the silky lips. "See it's okay... no need to wig." Faith swallowed as she closed her eyes and felt around, gently exploring. *Fuck... she feels great... there's no denying it...even though she's a bitch, B is still pretty damn hot!*

The little caveslayer moved against her hand, growling and grunting as she approached orgasm. Faith found herself becoming very aroused by Buffy's wild behavior.

*Holy shit! She's a little animal... and it's hot... oh yeah... Buffy frickin' Summers humpin' my hand!!!* Faith opened her eyes to see Buffy staring down at her; she blushed but returned the stare. *You like this B... oh yeah you do... you've always wanted me, haven't ya?!... Oh fuck… oh yeah… mmmm... I should make this last..* Faith slowed down and pulled away slightly.

Cave-Buffy growled, angrily. "Okay B... it's okay... jus' kiddin' around... sorry... don't get all crazy... See, it's all good." Faith quickly returned to the spot and increased her attention, sliding her fingers back and forth over Buffy's clitoris. *Oh baby... this is good... you're so wet... mmmm...* Faith brought her other hand up and slipped two fingers inside of Buffy.

*Oh jezuzzzz... she's sooo fucking hot!* The sound of Buffy's panting and grunting filled Faith's ears. *I'm fucking Buffy... oh yeah... I'm fucking her and she loves it... goddamn, I think I can cum jus' from touchin' her... she's sooo... I can't breath... Fuck! Oh Buffyyyyy...* Faith felt faint and squeezed her eyes shut as Buffy clung tightly, moaning. The caveslayer leaned in and grabbed Faith by the neck again nipping her as she came.

"Oh B! I can feel it... you just came... damn... B... fuck!" Faith's heart pounded as Buffy squeezed her tight.

Buffy held still for several minutes, her teeth clamped on Faith's neck. Then she suddenly relaxed, releasing her grip on the younger slayer.

But the little blonde remained sprawled over Faith, obviously in no hurry to move. She purred and stretched, well-satisfied, before snuggling in.

Faith peered at the sleepy slayer and snickered. "Ya got what ya wanted, now get off of me."

The little caveslayer lifted herself and gazed down at Faith. *Girl mine.* She gave the brunette a loving smile and then leaned in and nuzzled Faith's neck, sniffing and licking. *Girl smell nice... mmm... girl touch Buffy... touch good... ahhhh... good Faith. Faith touch Buffy... good... Faith good... Buffy keep Faith... Faith mine. Mine now.* She wiggled a bit as she sucked Faith's neck.

*Mmmm... nice... hot little Buffy... geez... frick... B, damn... I so dig you... and that suckin' thing... it's kinda turnin' me on...* Faith's eyes snapped open. "NO! Get off of me!"

"Mine! Girl mine!"

"WHAT?!!! I ain't nobody's! You hear! NOW GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!" Faith screamed enraged. *Who the fuck does she think she is?! I diddle her and she thinks she owns me?! NO WAY! NO MOTHERFUCKIN' WAY!!!*

Cave-Buffy's eyes darkened as she stood snarling. She roughly grabbed hold of Faith and dragged her from the room. Faith kicked and clawed at her, causing Buffy to reach down and pick her up. She carried the brunette into the bedroom and threw her on the bed. "MINE! MINE! YOU MINE! NO FIGHT!" Buffy stood menacingly close, growling.

Faith stared for a moment, resisting the urge to punch Buffy's face. *I should kick her ass, right now!* She sat taking deep breaths to calm herself. *Fuck it! Let the little nut think what she wants... it doesn't matter.*

Buffy moved to the bed and pulled the struggling brunette back into her arms. She spoke more softly, "Mine." She gently nuzzled Faith and sniffed. "You mine. Buffy keep Faith now." Cave-Buffy stroked Faith's hair, calming slightly.

"Whatever! You can let go of me... I ain't exactly goin' anywhere... anyways... so..." Faith bit back her irritation as she let Buffy hold and stroke her. *Little nut... frickin' Buffy!... ya might not be as perfect as they all think.* She smirked at the last thought and relaxed as Buffy carefully caressed her. *Geez B... whatcha doin'... mmm... that feels nice... yeah, kinda nice.*

After a moment, Faith noticed something else. *Fuck... I can feel every inch of her... pressed up against me... oh, she needs to put somethin' on... not that she's bad to look at... or feel... ahhhh... oh jezuzzz... or nothin' like that but... mmmm... FUCK! STOP IT! YA PERVERT! Make her get dressed... yeah.* Faith pulled back. "Uh... B, ya gotta get dressed now, okay?" The little blonde licked her neck in response, then released her.

*Frickin'-a! What's with the lickin'... jeezuzz..* Faith wiped at her neck as she turned toward Buffy's bag and fished out some pajamas. "Here." She held them out toward Buffy who gave her a blank look. "Lemme guess, you don't know how to dress yourself either. Come here." Faith pulled the pajama top on Buffy and started buttoning it. "Hey B, look. Your pj's have butterflies on `em."

Buffy giggled excited. "Butterfly! Butterfly!"

"Yeah, that's what I said." Faith's anger started to seep away as sex-crazed cave-Buffy transformed slowly into cute, harmless cave-Buffy. *Holy shit... she's a regular Jeckle an' Hyde or somethin'!* Faith shrugged and kneeled in front of the blonde holding her pajama bottoms.

"Come on B. Jus' step into them, `kay? No biggy... atta girl." Faith tried not to stare as she found herself eye-level with Buffy's most private spot. *Ooh wow.. look at that... her pussy... it's sooo... uhhh... what a soft sweet pussy... she looks perfect... unbelievable... dang!* Faith ached to lean forward and kiss it. *Taste B... get a whole mouthful of Buffy Summers... lick her forever... yeah, that'd be okay... ohhhh... Buffyyy... mmm... what.. wait... NO! NO! NO!* The brunette shook her head and moved back the second Buffy stepped into the pajamas. She pulled up the bottoms and smacked her on the behind, laughing it off. "See B. We can do this. Now let's get ya some dinner."

The little blonde treated her to a blank smile before yelping her name several times. "Faith. Faith. Faith... bufferfliessss." She jumped back into Faith's arms.

"Yeah." Faith laughed and carried Buffy toward the kitchen. "Hey, you're hungry... right? Food?"

"Buffy hungry." The caveslayer nodded and gestured toward her mouth.

"Okay, c'mon B. Let's get somethin' to eat." Faith unconsciously pulled the shorter girl tight in her arms, hugging her before setting her down at the table. *Yeah... I can do this.* Faith set the peanut butter & jelly sandwiches in front of Buffy. "Here ya go, B. Dig in."

PART 7 - Bedtime for Buffy

Faith took the milk out of her fridge and checked the date then sniffed it. "Yep. This is okay. Hey B, ya want milk to drink?"

The little slayer gave her a jelly-faced grin and nodded. "Oh geez. B, ya got it all over your face." Faith laughed as she put the glass down in front of Buffy.

"What a little piggy." Faith sat down across from her watching. "Ya know you're kinda cute B... even all messy and animal-like... but I bet ya know that, don't ya?"

The little caveslayer snorted at her then grabbed the glass with her sticky hands, gulping the milk down.

"Ha! You're hilarious B. I wish I had a camera to capture the moment, `cause nobody's gonna believe it." Faith shook her head and reached for one of the sandwiches. Buffy growled. "What the fuck! Are you growlin' at me?! Don't you dare!" Faith hesitantly reached again.

"NO!" Buffy screeched and slapped Faith's hand.

"Damn you! You friggin' savage! Don't you slap me! I can take one if I want. I made `em."

"NO! You ask! You no take! You ask!" The little slayer barked angrily.

Faith was taken aback. "What?! Ask? That's your problem? Fine! Can I have one?" Faith asked through clenched teeth.

"You mine. Here. Eat." Buffy smiled and handed Faith a sandwich. She was happy to share with Faith. *Faith mine. Faith eat.*

*Huh?!* Faith bit into the sandwich with uncertainty as cave-Buffy stopped eating to watch. *What's her problem?!*

"Eat more." Buffy grunted and shoved another sandwich toward her. "Faith eat and get strong."

"Yeah B. I'm good. That's enough... you jus' friggin' eat so I can put ya to bed... You're kinda a pain in the ass, ya know? Remind me to ask Giles for more money." Faith sighed and got up from the table tossing her half-eaten sandwich back on the plate.

Buffy snatched it up, and held it back out toward Faith. "You eat. Eat!"

"No! Now stop it, `cause I'm this close to kickin' your ass! Do you hear me?! Now finish so I can wash your face and put ya to bed. I'm gettin' sick of your bullshit."

The little slayer hung her head down, pouting as tears welled up in her big green eyes.

"Awww, fuck! B, no. No cryin', ya hear me? C'mon. See I'm eatin'." Faith picked up the sandwich and quickly finished it. With her mouth still full, she spoke, "See all gone. Don't cry. Okay?" She pulled the sticky slayer against her, giving her a hug.

Cave-Buffy laughed and grabbed a sandwich trying to eat it as fast as Faith. She successfully stuffed the whole thing in her mouth and reached for another.

"B, no. Eat slower or ya might choke or somethin'. Ya have to understand, I'm practiced at gulpin' food down, and you're usually all dainty and shit." Faith teased, reaching for Buffy's milk; she paused as Buffy tensed. "Can I have some?"

"Yes. Drink. Faith mine. Faith drink." Buffy offered the milk to Faith.

"Uh... B, you're really gonna have to cut that 'mine' crap out, `kay? `Cause it's kinda creepin' me out." Faith went to the sink and wet a towel. "C'mon B." She tilted Buffy's face up and wiped the jelly off, then grabbed her sticky little hands and did the same. "Okay kiddo, you're ready for bed." Without giving it a thought, Faith bent and kissed Buffy on the nose. "Let's go."

"Bed? No. Buffy not tired."

"Yeah. Well too bad. `Cause I am. Got it? Now get your little butt over here, `cause we're going to bed."

Cave-Buffy stuffed another sandwich in her mouth then grabbed Faith's hand to follow her.

PART 8 - A Sexy Dream

Faith finished cleaning Buffy up. She brushed her teeth, her hair, and even carefully cleaned her ears. *Jus' doin' what Giles paid me to do.* She thought as she tucked cave-Buffy in.

"Not tired." Buffy whined but laid down. "No. Faith?" She reached for the brunette.

"I'm coming too, B. Just let me get ready for bed. I'm gonna go take a shower. You stay here or I'm gonna be mad at ya. You understand? Stay here!"

Buffy nodded. "Buffy stay. Faith?"

"Yep?" Faith went back over to her. "What?" Buffy sat up and hugged her. "Yeah, okay B. That's enough. Go to sleep." *What's she doin'?! Ugh!* Faith gently disentangled herself from Buffy's arms. "I'll be back in a little while. Lay down."

When Faith came back freshly showered she found Buffy sound asleep. *Good!* The brunette slayer pulled on a large t-shirt and slipped quietly under the covers next to Buffy.

The little caveslayer whimpered and cuddled up to Faith. *Ugh!... damn, B... ya little pain... fine, I'll hold ya* Faith wrapped her arms around the blonde, and fell asleep to Buffy's soft breath tickling her neck. *B... Buffy... mmm...*

Faith woke up slowly; she was having a lovely dream, a sexy dream. *Mmmmm... ooh...sexy hot... yep...* Faith wiggled around, turned on. *Wow... wait... what?...What the hell... huh?* She felt something. *Mmmm... licking... I'm being licked?*

Faith struggled to open her eyes; she could feel something licking her. Someone licking her. *Oh fuck!... ahhhhh... dammm... oh that feels good!* No doubt about it; someone was licking her alright, licking her right between her legs.

*Holy fuck... oh yeah... jeezuzzz... I'm gonna cum... sooo close...* Faith felt the soft mouth sucking and then more licking. *Wow... no... wait... who's licking... what... oh god... mmm... licking my... my... pussy... ahhhh... Fuck me!*

Faith opened her eyes and looked down to see Buffy between her legs, lapping at her. *Damn!* The site alone almost sent her over the edge. *What a turn-on!* Faith arched up into Buffy's mouth and the little slayer sucked eagerly.

*No... no, I shouldn't... ohhh..* Faith reached down and tried to push Buffy away. "No B. No, you shouldn't... Stop it. Fuck... oh B... mmmm." She shoved at Buffy causing the blonde to growl fiercely. Faith let go.

Cave-Buffy clung tighter and continued to lick, using large strokes with her entire tongue. *Faith mine.* Buffy ran her tongue up over Faith's clitoris again and again.

*Oh jezuz christ... I'm gonna cum... she's gotta stop... I'm gonna... oh yeah... so gonna... gonna totally cum... ooh... right now... FUCK!* "FUCKKKKK! AHHHHH! OH YESSSSSSSS!" Faith screamed out holding tight to Buffy. "Oh Buffy... oh... B..." She moaned softly falling back into the sheets. *WOW!* Her eyes slid shut, but she was dimly aware that Buffy was still licking her. *Ohhhh... that feels sooo... B... not again... mmmm... that's hot... oh yeah!* Faith could feel another orgasm building up.

The little caveslayer licked the now barely conscious brunette a few more times. Faith did hardly more than shudder. She didn't move as Buffy lifted her head to look up at her. Faith's eyes were closed, her full lips parted; she was panting, struggling to breathe. Her face was covered in a thin sheen of sweat, and her dark hair disheveled.

Cave-Buffy studied the other slayer for a moment then smiled, announcing happily, "Faith mine." She crawled over the younger girl wrapping her arms around Faith and nuzzling her neck.

Still very sexually aroused and even more excited by Faith's gradual but total submission, the caveslayer groaned out. "Buffy wants..."

Buffy needed release; she pulled her pajamas off and rubbed on Faith's bare thigh.

Faith didn't respond. She hardly noticed; she was still seeing stars. There was heavy breathing near Faith's ear.

*Huh?!* Faith could hear Buffy's grunts. *What's she doing?* She slowly registered touching. *Is she humping my leg?... what the fuck?!* "B?!"

"NO! NO MOVE!" Buffy commanded as she arched against Faith.

Faith's eyes flickered opened in time to catch the view of a naked, sweaty Buffy grunting and clinging to her, nearing orgasm. *OH FUCK!* Faith quickly closed her eyes. *Damn, she's hot!* Faith chewed her bottom lip nervously. *Okay, it's cool... I'm in control still... no biggy... so she's kinda hot... I'm gonna jus' push her off... yep... I'm pushing her off now... uhhh... any second... fuck, she's wet... all over my thighs... goddammm... B... mmm.*

Buffy held tight, moaning in Faith's ear as she came. She fell against the brunette. "Faith... Faith..." The little slayer sniffed Faith's neck then sucked on it, nuzzling her as her breathing evened out. "Faith mine. Buffy keep Faith." The little blonde fell into a light sleep.

Faith lifted Buffy and kissed her full on the lips. *B... mmm... dang it... ya little brat... what'd ya do... frickin'-a!*

Buffy yawned and growled softly snuggling back up into Faith's arms. "Buffy tired."

"Yeah, I bet." Faith said wryly, kissing the grumpy blonde's head. "Shhhh... Go back to sleep, B...... I got ya... I'll hold ya, B..." They both drifted off.

PART 9 - Hey Red

When Faith awoke again she found Buffy laying in her arms, clinging to her. *Ugh!* Faith peeled the little blonde off, gently laying her back on the bed. She rolled on her side and studied the other girl. *Damn, B's hot... wicked hot!*

Faith lightly kissed cave-Buffy on the lips, causing the little slayer to grouse and reach for her. "No. I have to get up." Faith whispered scooting further over, but staying for a moment just to look at the beautiful blonde.

*Huh?... We had sex... Yeah, we did... Unbelievable!... I fucked Buffy Summers!... Not only that... but then miss goody-two-shoes went down on me for hours!... Shit, she made me cum so many times I couldn't even move!... Oh yeah, I got off big time... mmmm... her sweet little mouth... jeez... glad to know it's good for somethin' besides naggin'... Ha!... Yepper... No wonder they're all whipped over her... and she's kinda cute... kinda... Okay. She's a total fox!... So what!... She's still a self-righteous priss who thinks she's better...and* Buffy grumbled and rolled on top off Faith. *Ugh!.. what a leech... a leechy pest.*

Buffy sniffed and nuzzled Faith. *Fuck! B, cut it out... dammit... always fuckin' with my head... Yeah, you're adorable right now, but what happens when this shit wears off?!... Huh?!... See, I jus' gotta remember that... No matter how cute you are right now... you'll turn back into that holier-than-thou bitch soon enough and I'm an idiot if I think anything different... Faith, the dumbass!* Faith suddenly pushed Buffy off and got up.

*I need a shower... and coffee... yeah, some coffee and then a shower... that's what I need!* She found her t-shirt on the floor and pulled it back on. *B, ya animal, ya tore my shirt... I should smack your ass... you runt...* Faith looked back at the sleeping slayer as she placed her hand on Buffy's bare butt.

*I could jus' slap her ass, right now!* Faith smirked as she very gently stroked the naked blonde's bottom. *Mmmm... Oh fuck me! She's sooo...* Faith removed her hand as if burned. *What the hell is wrong with me! Shit!*

Buffy mumbled and rolled on her back, giving Faith an unrestricted view of her charms.

*WHOA!!!* Faith turned to leave the room so quickly, she nearly walked through the door. *Duh! Gotta open it first!* When Faith pulled the door open she could hear the phone ringing. *Aw shit!* The brunette raced into the kitchen and grabbed it. "Hey?"

"Uh.. Faith?"

"Yep."

"It's Willow. Um... I have class this morning so.. I thought I'd stop by and check on Buffy."

"Yeah, okay. When ya gonna be here, `cause sleepin' beauty ain't up yet?"

"In about fifteen minutes?"

"Make it a half hour and I can have her dressed and fed so if ya wanna take her with ya or somethin'."

"No. I mean, I can't exactly take her to class or anything."

Faith chuckled, "Guess not, huh?... Okay, see ya whenever then. The only thing we've gotta do is go to the store, but we ain't doin' that anytime soon so we'll be here. Bye."

"Yeah, okay then." Willow hung up and sat there for few minutes puzzling over Faith's attitude.

"FAITH!" Buffy screamed in panic from the bedroom.

*Fuck!* Faith ran into the bedroom. "B! What's wrong?!"

Cave-Buffy cried and held out her arms. "Gone. Faith gone."

"No. I'm right here." Faith sighed in annoyance, but sat on the bed and pulled the little blonde into her arms. "Shhhh. C'mon cut it out now. Willow is comin' over and I don't want you cryin' and gettin' her to think I'm hurtin' ya or somethin', got it?"

Buffy clung tightly to Faith, sobbing. "Faith gone. Faaaittthhh!" She wailed burying her face against Faith's neck. "No go. Faith no go."

"Jezuz christ, B! When did ya become so frickin' needy?! Now get up, I have to give ya breakfast." Faith tried to stand up, but Buffy wouldn't let go. "B, did ya hear me?!"

"NO!" Cave-Buffy screeched as Faith pried her little hands off.

"B, I have to put clothes on ya." Faith sat back down with Buffy. "Now listen. Do ya wanna stay here with me?"

"Yes. With Faith. Buffy stay with Faith." The little caveslayer nodded emphactically.

"Okay then. Ya have to get dressed. If you're sittin' here like this... all naked and crazy acting, then they'll take you out of here and then it's bye, bye Faith. Got it? I need ya to help me out and do what I say. Do you understand?"

Buffy immediately let go and stood up. "Yes. Buffy stay. Buffy stay."

"That a girl. Here, let's jus' put your pj's back on for now. I need to give ya another bath, but that can wait till after miss nosy leaves. She jus' wants to make sure I didn't wring your neck." The younger slayer held the pajama bottoms as Buffy dutifully stepped in them.

Faith then picked up the top and examined it. "How'd you get this off last night? You didn't even unbutton it. Huh?" The brunette shrugged as she put the pajama top back onto Buffy's warm little body. "There you go. Now where's my kiss?" She teased the blonde and was suprised when the caveslayer hugged her tight and laid a big kiss on her lips. *Geez B!*

Faith put on a pair of jeans then dragged Buffy to the kitchen and sat her down. "It's Captain Crunch for you." She shoved the bowl in front of Buffy and turned around to pour herself some coffee.

Faith glanced back to see Buffy reaching in the bowl with her hands.

"Hey! Use your spoon! B! Damn it!"

*What Buffy do? Why Faith mad?* Buffy froze as her eyes filled with tears.

"Dang it, you're such a crybaby!" Faith shook her head.

Buffy picked up the bowl and flung it across the room. "Not hungry!"

"Buffy! Fuck!" Faith was poised to slap her when she heard the knocking. "Crap! Red's here. Now you be good. Do you hear me?!"

Buffy crossed her arms defiantly. Faith leaned close and whispered. "You be good or they'll take you away. Then it's bye, bye Faith. Got it?!"

Buffy's eyes started to water again. "NO! NO! Buffy stay with Faith!"

"Then behave yourself, B. I'm serious." Faith made her way to the door; she paused waiting for Buffy to settle down then opened it. "Hey Red, I was jus' givin' the princess over there some breakfast. Want some coffee or somethin'?"

"Uh... yeah, that'd be great. Thanks." Willow turned to see a pouting Buffy sitting at the table. "Hi Buffy." She expected the little caveslayer to run to her in terror. The guilt at leaving Buffy had been eating at her most the night, but the blonde only looked over and smiled.

"Willow! Willow!" The caveslayer shrieked energetically, smacking the table. She made no move to get up. Cave-Buffy then proudly announced. "Buffy eat. Eat! Eat!"

"Hang on B. I'm gettin' ya some more, right now."

Willow noticed the bowl of cereal on the floor and the milk on the wall. "What happened?"

"Yeah, that. Hey B, why don't you tell her? Hmm? Didn't think so." Faith set a cup of coffee in front of Willow; she shoved the milk toward her. "Do you want some sugar too?"

"Yeah, thanks." Willow nervously took the offering, watching Faith with suprise. The brunette sat down next to Buffy with a new bowl of cereal and started to feed her.

"C'mon B. Open up."

Buffy obediantly opened her mouth, letting Faith put a spoonful of cereal in. She munched happily on the sugary breakfast food.

"Ha! Look at that. You totally like it. Now ain't ya sorry you wasted a whole bowl of this on the wall." Faith smirked at the little caveslayer's excitement. She continued with her task carefully feeding Buffy until she glimpsed Willow staring and became self-conscious. Faith cleared her throat and explained, "She doesn't know how to use a spoon."

"Oh... uh... okay." Willow shrugged, acting preoccupied with her coffee.

"So what's up, Red? You guys figure out a cure or whatever?" Faith asked turning toward the dumbfounded red head.

"What?... Um... No. Nothing yet. I have to go to class but Giles and Xander will be working on the research all day. We're meeting tonight. Maybe you can bring Buffy over to the Magic Shop then... if you don't mind."

"No, no biggy. It's not like there's anything else I can do, right? I can't exactly take B patrolling or anything." Faith continued to feed Buffy who busily examined the cartoons on the cereal box. "What? What is it, B?" The little caveslayer pointed to a picture on the box. "Oh, you want the toy... Hang on." Faith took the box from her and fished around in it. "Okay. Here ya go." She handed Buffy the plastic toy. "Hey, it's an action figure. Lemme see it. Oh, well looky here. It's wonder woman. Ha! There ya go, B. That's perfect for ya. Pretty cool there. See." Faith put the figure in a pose.

Cave-Buffy bounced enthusiastically and snatched the toy up. She smiled, well-pleased with her new possession as she examined it carefully.

Willow witnessed the scene in awe. She watched as Faith gently nudged another spoonful between Buffy's lips. *This borders on sweet. Faith is being nice to Buffy?! Huh?! She's feeding her and giving her toys. Weird... too weird... almost creepy weird.* "Well, I guess I better get to class. We'll see you guys later then."

"Huh?... oh yeah.. yeah, Red... no problem... later." Faith nodded in her direction.

"Bye Buffy." Willow walked over and gave the little slayer a hug. *Her hair's been brushed out... Faith brushed the tangles out?...huh?*

"Willow go bye. Bye Willow." Buffy returned the hug, releasing her quickly and opening her mouth for another spoonful of cereal. "Buffy eat now. Bye. Bye. Willow go."

"Yeah. Okay, Buffy." Willow furrowed her brow in confusion. Faith got up to let Willow out.

"Later Red."

After the door closed, Willow stood there for a moment. *What was that?!* She leaned against the door and heard Buffy giggling.

"Wonder woman? Wonder! Wonder! Hehehe!"

"That's right B. It's a wonder woman doll. See... Okay B, `nough screwin' around. Open up. Gotta finish this cereal and take a bath. We have to go to the store still, ya know?"

"Store? Store! Store!"

"Yep. The Store. Frickin' sucks! I say." Faith laughed with the giggling caveslayer.

Willow felt herself smiling as she straightened up and headed out of the building to go to class.

PART 10 - Just A Quickie

Faith finished feeding Buffy then sat her down on the couch. "Here B. Watch TV. I'm gonna go take shower."

"No." Buffy wrapped her arms around Faith's neck.

"B, look." The brunette flipped on the TV. Buffy slowly let go of Faith and turned toward the television screen.

"Tiny people!" The blonde slayer shouted gleefully slapping the set.

"Yeah. See. That's right B. Tiny people. Now you jus' stay here and watch TV. I'll be in the bathroom taking a shower, okay? So there's no need to freak. I'm right in there; got it? I'll leave the door unlocked... if something's wrong you jus' come and get me." Faith returned Buffy's hug. "That's fine. Good girl. Now let go, B."

Cave-Buffy smiled and nodded, letting Faith go and turning toward the TV. "Hehehe! Lots of colors! Tiny people. Good!"

Buffy sat staring at screen. "Tiny people singing. Funny! Hehehe! Faith, look. Look! Look!" The little slayer turned around and noticed Faith wasn't sitting with her. "Faith? Where Faith go? Faith?" Buffy got up to search. "Faith?" She stood at the bathroom door and pushed it open slowly. "Faith?" Buffy's breath came out in a whisper as watched Faith in the shower. "Oh." *Faith pretty... Buffy like Faith. Faith soft...and smells nice. Buffy want to touch Faith. Mmmm... Faith... touch Faith... pretty Faith...*

The brunette closed her eyes and stepped under the water to rinse her hair. *HUH?!* She jumped when felt a hand touching her. "What the fuck! B, you can't do that... jus' frickin' sneak up on people like that. Ya practically gave me a heart attack! Whatcha doin'?!" Faith wiped the soap out of her eyes and looked down at Buffy.

The blonde stood staring, mesmorized as she caressed Faith. "Faith. Faith good. Buffy like Faith. Ahhh... Faaaittthhh. Buffy stay with Faith." She ran her hand over Faith's breast. "Soft... soft..."

"Uh... yeah. Thanks. My boobs are soft. Now go watch TV. I'm tryin' to take a shower, ya know... get out." Faith brushed the little slayer's hands away.

"NO! NO! Buffy touch! Want to touch Faith. Faith soft. Soft!" Cave-Buffy screamed in frustration.

Faith squinted under the water then turned to ask with annoyance. "If I let you cop a feel, will ya get outta here so I can shower?" The little blonde nodded. "Okay. Fine. Go ahead and hurry up." Faith turned back toward the smaller slayer offering her chest.

Buffy slowly reached out, speaking with almost reverance as she touched, "Soft. Soft. Faith... ohhh... soft Faith..." Buffy's fingertips lightly traced over Faith's nipples causing them to stiffened. The brunette's breath hitched slightly.

"Oh...um, geez...uh.." Faith shook it off. "Okay, B. Now get out. Ya got your jollies. Look I'll give you your bath in awhile... Now get lost! B? Hey!" Faith backed up as Buffy lowered her head. The little blonde captured a nipple in her mouth.

"Mmmm... Faith soft." Buffy wrapped her arms around Faith and delicately sucked. Her eyes slid closed and she relaxed as the water ran down her face and soaked her pajamas. *Ahhhh...Faith.*

*Oh fuck! Uh.. ahhh... oh, that feels good... oh B!* Faith felt her knees buckling as she tangled her hands in Buffy's hair. "Um...B?... I... oh jeez... `kay... let's go in the bedroom... yeah... let's... Oh fuck, I want you!" Faith pulled Buffy up and crushed her lips against the blonde's.

Cave-Buffy grinned and stepped into the shower with Faith.

"Not again." Faith shook her head. "B, take off your pajamas at least."

Buffy tugged at her wet top panicked; she whimpered. "Stuck! Faith! Stuck!"

"Come here, B. Lift your arms." The brunette helped her out of her pajamas. "I guess this can work out." Faith gently kissed Buffy and spoke smiling. "Okay B. This saves me the time. I don't have to give you a bath separatedly."

The kiss deepened. Faith broke free, trying to get a breath. Panting, she peered down at the happy blonde in her arms. "Fuck, you're hot. Ya know that, B? Hmmm? Yeah, you do. Don't ya, ya runt... you're hot!... an' you know it... `cause you're way hot!"

"Hot!" Buffy smiled, crinkling her nose in confusion. "Hot?... Buffy hot? Hot?" The little slayer tilted her head uncertain. "Hot? No. Buffy not hot." She touched her skin.

"Never mind. Come here babe, let's wash your hair." Faith pulled the older girl closer.

"Wash. Wash!" Buffy nodded happily and handed Faith the shampoo bottle. The little caveslayer obediantly stood still while being washed, before squeaking. "Buffy wash Faith."

"Alright then. You wash me." Faith gave Buffy a smoky look as she handed the little slayer a washcloth. "Show me what ya got." She straightened up and waited as Buffy's fingers moved lightly over her wet skin.

"Soft." Cave-Buffy giggled initially. "Soft... funny Faith... mmm... Buffy like Faith." The little blonde quieted and became serious, stroking Faith with great interest.

Faith smiled and reached for Buffy. "Come here." She grabbed the shorter girl, pulling their wet bodies together. "You slippery little nut. Gimme a kiss."

Cave-Buffy eagerly tipped her face up. "Kiss! Buffy want kiss. Kiss Buffy."

Faith laughed. "You betcha." She pulled the wet blonde against her and kissed her deeply. "How's that?... You like it... hmm? Ya want more?" She teased the little caveslayer.

Buffy grunted, pulling at Faith. "More! More! Buffy wants more."

"Let's go into the bedroom." Faith whispered to the wild little blonde. "For a quickie... that's all. Got it?" She waited until Buffy nodded in agreement.

"Oh. Yes! Yes! Faith. Touch! Quick. Quickie!" Buffy squealed suddenly insistent. "Touch. Want to touch. Now. Touch! Touch!"

"That's what we're gonna do, B. Touch... lots of touch." Faith bit Buffy's lower lip. "C'mon." She breathed out the last words. "Just a quickie."
