Chapter 11Halfrek appeared a while after Anya’s calling, well at least she appeared for a second or two before vanishing into thin air.
Surprised, Buffy started up, “What the…” Only to be soundly interrupted by the reappearance of Halfrek, this time directly in front of Willow and Tara, a shotgun in hand, aimed and ready to fire.
Upon seeing this, Willow leapt out of Tara’s laps faster than Buffy had ever moved to stake a vampire, with Tara in the couch still, peering around Willow’s frame to eye Halfrek with a bemused look, Willow blustered in utter shock, “Hey! Hey! New rule! No killing of my girlfriend!”
Before anyone could voice their differing opinions or agreements with regards to Willow’s new rule, Tara had already swiftly stood up, reached her hand out from behind Willow, grabbed the tip of the barrel of the shot gun which Halfrek was gripping extremely tightly and had successfully twisted it downwards with complete ease, effectively defeating the purpose of the shotgun. Tara gave everyone a half smile, shrugged her shoulders and had sat back down, all that done even before anyone had uttered a single word or sound.
It was Buffy’s shrill whining that pierced through the stunned silence of an impressed audience, “Giles! You big old oaf of a watcher, why didn’t you ever teach me how to do that?”
Once again embarrassed by yet another Buffy outburst, Giles admonished her slightly, “Buffy! You learn how to fight the mayhems and destruction caused by demons and vampires, not how to fight mayhems and destructions caused by a bloody shotgun. And if you’ve forgotten, let me remind you Buffy that you once saved our now wandering werewolf, by nearly tying the hunter's barrel into a bow!”
Not letting Giles have his way, “But you didn’t teach me that, I did it myself. So what if the demons and vampires, unlike you, moved with the times and learnt how to use a shotgun?”
“Buffy…” Giles replied with a slight warning tone in his voice, giving a slight cough, “Halfrek, please, if you don’t mind, do let go of the shotgun and take a seat.”
“No. If I have to, I shall appear with a canon next time around and kill this demon.” Halfrek replied.
To Anya’s utter surprise, Halfrek calling Tara a demon only earned her a slight raising of eyebrow from Tara herself, instead it was Willow who exploded.
Furious, Willow grabbed the shotgun out of Halfrek’s grip, flinging it to another far corner in the living room, raising her voice loudly, anger evident in her eyes, “If you didn’t hear me the first time. I said. New rule. No killing of my girlfriend. If you want to, you’ll have to come through me.” Crossing her arms in front of her chest, “And I am not one to be trifled with, not when it’s Tara’s life at stake. Now, is everybody clear on that?”
Hurried responses were heard throughout the room, all seemingly similar, serving to reinforce the fact that Willow’s new rule was not to be gone against, all except one.
“Ok Willow.”
“Whatever you say boss.”
“No, no, definitely no killing of Tara.”
“Tara staying alive. Check.”
“Honey, getting large with the butch again?”
All eyes turned onto Tara as Tara smiled sweetly at all of them except Willow, shooting her lover a sexy smirk, one saved just for her and nobody else.
Willow’s anger and firm hold on the situation immediately deflated as she flushed a deep red, mouth opening and closing repeatedly, unable to voice out her response to Tara's comment. Grasping Tara's hand tightly in hers, Willow dragged Tara off in the direction of the bathroom.
"Hey! Where are the two of you going?" Buffy asked with a surprised look to see Willow and Tara moving away from the living room.
"Now if you haven’t just seen what had happened a minute ago, Tara had just successfully made a beetroot out of our dear Willow, and in public too. Relax Buff, Willow’s probably gone off to get over the embarrassment and very possibly warn Tara about doing this to her in public again. They’ll be back soon Buffster. Way before you know it." Xander replied reassuringly and knowingly.
"Horny. And definitely back after we’ve all fallen asleep." Anya mumbled quietly as she led a shaken Halfrek to the couch.

Slamming the door shut, Willow forcefully pushed Tara up against the door, "Yes, definitely large with the butch again.' Leaning in to heatedly claim Tara's lips with her own, sucking on Tara's bottom lips forcefully, please with the soft groan she heard escape Tara's mouth, "Any complaints?"
Lips quirking into a half smile, “No ma’am.”
“Good…” Willow cooed softly, “Cause I could stop if you want to…” Flattening her palms against Tara’s breasts, edging Tara’s thighs open, pushing her own thigh firmly against Tara’s mound, earning a resounding groan.
“Goddess Willow… Don’t stop…”
Nestling her lips beneath Tara’s ear, “Mmmm, yes ma’am.” Taking a healthy chunk of Tara’s flesh into her mouth, sucking down on it hard. Hearing the increased in Tara’s laboured breathing, eyes twinkling, Willow smiled as her palm moved up and began a slow torturous unbuttoning of Tara’s shirt, revealing Tara’s voluptuous bra-clad breasts. Not bothering to unclasp Tara’s bra, Willow shoved it up hurriedly, capturing Tara’s freeing breasts in the process, devouring them hungrily and greedily while pinning Tara’s frame firmly between the door and her, thigh grounding hard against Tara’s core.
“Oh Willow….!”
***
“Where are those two?” Buffy grumbled again for what had seemed to be the hundredth time in the last twenty minutes. “How long can two spend nursing one’s embarrassment?”
“Those two…” Anya snorted, “I’ll say forever.”
“What did you say Anya?” Buffy glanced over at the ex-vengeance demon with a curious gaze.
“Oh nothing…”
***
Clothes partially hanging off her upper body, disheveled looking, scent of arousal hanging heavily in the air, Tara bit on her bottom lip to prevent herself from making any loud noises, grinding her hips forcefully against Willow’s thigh, “Willow…Mmpphh… Feels so good... Don’t stop baby… Don’t ever stop…”
To her greatest surprise, that’s exactly what Willow does. Willow stopped all forms of ministrations on Tara’s body, leaving her flushed and flustered, and to her extreme frustration, dripping wet.
Looking up to see Willow straightening her own T-shirt and jeans before helping Tara with her own clothing, Tara was baffled, “Willow?”
“Hmm?” Willow mumbled as she continued buttoning up Tara’s shirt, pulling the leather coat back into place.
Doing her best to ignore the sexual frustration coursing through her body, Tara quirked her lips into a sexy smile in an attempt to coax Willow back into her arms, “Willow… C’mere, a while longer…? Please…?”
Giving Tara a quick peck on the lips, “Can’t Tara, we’ve got an impending apocalypse to deal with.”
Clearly confused by Willow’s reply, “Impending apocalypse? Sweetie, the world is not ending, well at least not in my opinion. Wait… Is the world ending?”
“Well, theoretically speaking, no the world isn’t ending, far from it. But see, the Initiative has so far allowed a maniac, one called Adam to run loose and to the best of my knowledge, he left my lover half beaten to death the last time and to add to that I have no idea what stunt he is going to pull the next time he shows. In my opinion Tara, if I was ever at risk of losing her, the one person I truly loved, yes it definitely would qualify as an impending apocalypse.”
Tara felt her heart bursting with emotions as Willow’s words touched her deep down inside, on something she thought she had lost a long time ago, her soul. Raising her hand to stroke Willow’s cheek tenderly, she murmured, “And who would that girl be Willow…?”
Leaning in to place a tender kiss on Tara’s lips, “You Tara. Only you.”

Halfrek sat on the chair, shooting Anya an incredulous look, "What she's doing here? Anyanka remember last time we bumped into her and her play mate?"
"She's better now Hallie."
“Better? Who are you trying to kid with Anya? She will hurt us! She should scare you like bunnies!”
"She's got a friend now Hallie... she won't." Anya added smirking.
Halfrek knew that smirk well. Willow and Tara were definitely more than just friends.
Giles looked at the demon, "Excuse me ladies, but could we at least discuss why Anya summoned you here for?"
Willow appeared with Tara. They both looked immaculate.
Halfrek looked at Anya, Anya nodded at her reassuringly.
"So you two know each other?" Buffy asked.
"We were justice buddies..." Halfrek looked at Anya and smiled, "She handled the men, I handled the children."
"A child vengeance demon?" Xander asked, "Why didn’t I get one of those?"
Halfrek looked at him, "I think you did sweetheart. Remember the time when you father...?"
Xander swallowed, "Oh." He smiled weakly, "Thank you."
"So how did you know Tara?" Buffy asked.
Tara thought.
"We met, or rather fled from her and her blood buddy." Halfrek replied, "They were killing demons left, right and centre."
"St Petersberg 1908." Anya interjected. "They were like animals."
Buffy looked at Giles, then at Tara, "You are afterall, a creature of the night, so why is your situation particularly so bad?"
"Because we killed everything." Tara softly replied.
"Why did you?" Willow asked.
"We were still grieving." Tara replied, "Both of us were in pain. We weren't dhmpires, we were human after all. And we were taking our revenge."
"But I thought you had revenge when you killed Angelus et al?" Halfrek responded bluntly. “I heard of that incident from Anyanka…”
"That was a work of art." Anya interjected, "Four vamps in a house. They were burned alive as well."
Tara winced, "We lured them in, me and Faith put a slab of meat in there, vampires, these vampires had killed Jana. Jana was out hunting. When Angelus and I think his name was Spike, caught her. Me and Faith were watching this. They snapped her neck then fed off her. Faith wanted to charge in, I said there was a better way, so we found this house. It had long been abandoned, so we set to work, the place was doused in holy water, crosses were made and doused again." Tara chuckled, hollowly, "So we waited, they came with their mates... we trapped them inside and burnt the house down..." Tara smiled sadly at the distant memory, "You could hear their screams for miles around."
Willow looked at Tara.
Buffy looked at Tara, "All because of Jana."
"Jana was my friend. Slayer, she was my companion. Dhmpires are human, have you any idea how lonely it is being on your own for hundreds of years?"
"Pretty lonely." Halfrek added, "That's why justice demons seem to buddy up."
A seemingly innocent comment from Halfrek, but one that brought about quite a reaction from Tara as she hurriedly got up, "Excuse me." Her voice sounding choked up as she bolted towards the door.
Willow started up after her lover, clearly confused by Tara’s reaction, "Tara wait!"
It was too late, Tara was already out the door.
