A few weeks had passed since her breakdown and visit to Angel. She was in very good spirits. She and Angel had been talking and emailing regularly. Kagome and the others were in the library researching demons to find their latest nuisance. Kagome was going through a book when a feeling of pain and dread touched her, one she had not felt since the night Angel had been turned. She stood up abruptly and her face was ghostly white.

“I just remembered I have to get home,” Kagome replied in what she hoped was a normal tone.

Her tone however came out shaky and she knew her face probably belied the panic she felt. She excused herself before anyone could comment and ran all the way to her home. Kagome ran upstairs to her room and saw Angel sitting on the bed staring at nothing.

“Angel,” Kagome said shakily.

“It's Doyle Kags. He is..,” Angel began.

“No. Not Doyle,” Kagome sobbed.

Her fear was confirmed the moment Angel began to sob. She stood in front of him and wrapped her arms around him. They sobbed together over the loss of their friend. Angel lay down on the bed and Kagome laid beside him. Angel shifted so his head was laying on Kagome's right breast and her right hand absently ran through his hair and her left hand softly scratched his back in a comforting gesture. They fell into a light sleep. Angel's leg had moved during their sleep and now rested between her thighs. His hands were resting on her hips. She woke at feeling Angel's tears were hitting her bare skin. She noted that in order to be closer to her heart he had undone the top buttons to her shirt and he had moved so his ear was resting against her heart. Her own tears began again and she tightly wrapped her arms around him. She was whispering nonsense to calm them both down. This quiet mourning time was interrupted by an outraged shout. Kagome's head shot to her bedroom doorway and she stared frozen and horrified by who she saw.

“Xander,” Kagome stated.

Angel's head burrowed deeper against her chest causing her to softly moan. It had not been his intention, but he decided to note that reaction for another time. He just merely did not want to show his tears to that insolent whelp.

“What? How could you?” Xander snarled.

“Xander,” Kagome repeated almost as if she were in shock.

“Won't Buffy love to hear this. Her best friend fucking with her unstable ex-boyfriend,” he stated

He then made his way out of the room and for a minute Kagome laid there trying to process what had just occurred.

“Oh shit. I better go catch him and do damage control or we are both going to be dead,” she replied.

“Yeah,” Angel replied distractedly.

“That means we have to get up,” she teased.

“I don't wanna,” he playfully whined.

“Well then I guess we will both be pushing up daisies before the night ends,” she sing- songed.

“On second thought you better go,” he said teasingly.

He moved off of the tiny woman and snuggled into her pillow while she tore sown the stairs slipped her feet in sandals and ran out hoping to catch Xander before it was too late. She ran a few blocks and managed to spot his retreating back. She ran faster and called his name trying to get him to stop, but he just moved faster. She was desperate so she ran and faster and sprang at him managing to knock them both down in the grass. She sat atop him her short black skirt moved higher on her thighs from the landing.

“Now Xander are you going to listen to me or do people get the impression that we are two randy teenagers? Your choice,” she whispered.

“Why should I listen to your lies?” he harshly whispered.

He noted the muscles of her legs and thighs as she held him there and then noted the blood on her chest which reminded him what was going on.

“It's not what you think,” she hissed noting the direction of his gaze.

She grabbed his arms and hauled him up and she began to drag him back to her house refusing to have this conversation here in the middle of the street. She threw open the door and dragged him upstairs. He was given no choice but to follow as she was stronger then him especially since she was desperate. She pushed him into the desk chair and then before he could move she locked the door so he could not leave as easily. Angel watched this with amusement clearly written on his face.

“What the fuck are you laughing at Dead boy?” he glared.

Both stunned by his outburst and language they did not respond right away. Kagome was the first to move she walked up and smacked him across the face.

“Don't insult him,” she snarled.

“Oh how silly of me. I should have guessed the little whore for the demons would protect the thing she was fucking,” he spat coldly.

Kagome stared coldly at him not allowing him the satisfaction of seeing her cry. Angel growled low in his throat.

“Watch it boy. Don't talk that way about Kagome,” he snarled.

“Fuck you Dead boy. Oh my bad I believe your little Bitch has it covered. In fact I bet she likes it just like a Bitch. In fact I bet that is what you like so much about her. I bet my entire comic collection she probably spreads her legs for you anyway you choose or does whatever you say just so she can keep her place and not get replaced by a much hotter tramp, because there are plenty of those,” he harshly spat.

“Harris. That is enough,” He growled his face shifting.

Kagome softly grabbed Angel's hand as he was currently stalking towards Xander his face a mask of rage. Angel calmed immediately under her touch and his face shifted back.

“I was not fucking Angel we were comforting each other, for your information we both just lost a good friend,” she began.

Tears were now making their way down Kagome's cheeks.

“Now get out,” Kagome said softly.

“Kagome,” he said softly.

He had not moved an inch the guilt of how he had acted and her sadness weighing him down.

“I said get the fuck out. Got tell Buffy whatever you want you are going to anyway,” she screamed.

Xander stood up, unlocked the door and and went out. He looked back once and saw Kagome sobbing against Angel's chest.

“Kagome,” he whispered sadly one last time before running downstairs and out of the house.

Xander wandered around in thought wondering what if anything to tell Buffy any part as his assumptions and words had already caused Kagome a lot of pain and he did not want to add anymore to it then he already regretfully had. He knew he had said some things that were horrid and may never be taken back. He walked in a daze and bumped into one of the objects of his thoughts.

“Buffy,” he said.

“Hey Xan, what's the what?” she asked.

“Um just visiting Kagome we had an argument,” he said.

“Oh about?” she inquired.

“Oh you know. I was an insensitive jerk and jumped down her throat about her friend,” he said softly.

“Oh Xan. You should know better. You know how protective she is of her friends,” she replied.

“I know. Now if you will excuse me I am going to go home and think about what I have done,” he replied.

“All right. See you later Xan,” she replied.

They separated and Buffy continued her patrol. Buffy was engrossed in thought (oh that is a big shocker, lol) and she bumped into a solid chest. She looked up and connected said chest to a very familiar face.

“Angel,” she breathed.

Everything went quiet, eerily quiet, as if the hounds of Hell were about to break loose at any moment and go on a murderess rampage.
