spike better get his head around what might have happened and on what is happening. any chance he can drink giles and get a pass from buffy? very good read, thank you.

Oh dear. Spike's feeling guilty, Buffy's just confused. And Giles needs a slap. Can't wait for more!

 So happy you're back with this story.  WTF has Giles done to her?  I hope Anya remembers and blabs.  Waiting anxiously for the next installment.

I love this story and i'm so glad you updated. I thought you had stopped updating this for a while! This was a great chapter and i cant wait to see what happens next! Please update really soon!!!! =]

I take it this is all down to Giles and his dirty deeds.  Grrr.  It's a pity Anya didn't remember, she could have blown Giles out of the water.

poor Buffy, and Spike being distant doesn't help.

great chapter.

Very interesting, what could be causing the problem if not the big C?  Also thought it could be Spike getting stronger from ingesting Slayer blood, but I guess not.  Also, seems like Giles should be more concerned if he is not involved in causing it!

Oh Giles......you just don't question the stupidity of this rite do you?

I'd love Willow to find documentation on it before Buffy has to face the challenge. 

Lovely to see this updates.  Love the blend with canon you've done in this chapter too.

Poor Spike hates hurting his girl.
