I always thought that THIS was the moment she began to have real feelings for him....that concern he showed that confused the heck out oher (the look on ther facein the scene) was a subconscious turning point.

Love how you took canon and gave it a bit of a believable twist this way.    He cares too even if he doesn't "know" it yet.

I have always seen his killing of the two Slayers as very different from his other kills.  Those two were like soldiers in opposing armies...warriors evenly matched and squared off.  Whereas you could call his other kills murder, not those two.  Those were merely wartime deaths IMHO.  Glad you addressed that.

I agree wholeheartedly - this is the beginning of her realization, when he turns right around from wanting to kill her (and while yes, he was terribly hurt and angry, I'm not entirely sure he really wanted her dead) to showing that little bit of tenderness.  She realizes that he has feelings, too, and it's nice.  If confusing. *grin*  Yes, Spike cares, too, though he's not really aware of it. 

And thank you in particular for your noting that Spike killing the Slayers is different from all the other deaths he's caused.  I was trying to make that a point; the other deaths, yes, were much more like murders.  The Slayers were on an entirely different order.  Thanks so much for your review as well.  I very much appreciate it.

Oooooo - I LIKE this story - no I LOVE it.  Its got the grudging acceptance - friendship - love path that made Season 7 so wonderful. 

Good job and keep the updates coming....
Yay!  Thanks so much.  I'm glad you're enjoying it.  More coming soon!

No Buffy don't refuse! think it!! think it!! I liked this chapter. they're getting closer to each other, please promise that they open their eyes soon! can't wait for an update. Great chapter.
Hee! I can't promise anything, because Buffy is still playing at being Cleopatra, and Spike isn't much better. Thank you!  More coming soon.

*laugh* Isn't she fun when she's normal Buffy? Thanks for your review - it made me giggle.  More coming soon!
