Pairing:Willow/Spike
Summary: Spike kidnaps Willow so she could do a spell for him. Wakciness ensues.
Author's notes: There is no chip. Willow and Tara are just friends. This is kinda before Crush. Dru never came back and Spike is still brooding =)

    She stumbled onto the cold cement floor, her hands tied behind her back with a black ribbon. A red handkerchief was shoved in her mouth, and she bit down on it hard as her shoulder hit the floor. She rolled onto her back, only to look at the blond vampire that had grabbed and gagged her while she was standing outside the Bronze. While she lay unconscious, the British bad boy with the crystal blue eyes had drug her to his underground lair.
      He knelt down behind her so their noses touched and she stared right at his lips. She squeezed her eyes shut, for she could feel blood trickling from her lip, which had been bitten along with the handkerchief.
      "Get up," Spike demanded. He grabbed her arms and drug her to her feet. He took her shoulders and spun her around so she faced him. The handkerchief soon hit the floor.
      "What the hell-" Willow began to protest.
      "Shut up!" Spike yelled. "I'm not going to hurt you, so calm down."
      "Well then, what do you want from me?"
      " I need you to cast a spell for me," he said, as he began circling her. "To get Dru back." He eyed her up and kept pacing as she lowered her eyes to the floor. He stopped in front of her. "Well?" She thought a moment.
      "What do I get out of it?" she asked as she tossed her head up, sending her red hair away from her eyes.
      "What do you get?" Spike chuckled and threw up his hands. "Absolutely nothing!" He leaned in so their noses touched again and she could look nowhere but straight into his eyes. "Or how about this? I could rip your pretty little head right off of that skinny neck of yours or I could poke your eyeballs out." His lips curled up into a sickening smile. "Or….I could just suck you dry. Now, wouldn't that be-" his face twisted into vampire form as he leaned forward and growled into her ear "-fun?"
      "Oh yeah!" Willow cried, as Spike pulled away. "Beauty idea! Just remember: No me, no spell." Spike growled as he reached around her hips and untied the ribbon that bound her hands together. She rubbed her wrists as Spike tossed it aside. She glared at him. "You would never hurt me. You couldn't." Her words came out cold as ice as her eyes narrowed. She began to walk towards him. "You want your Dru back too much." She was pushing him closer and closer to the chair in the far corner of the room with each word. "If I wasn't able to do this spell, you probably would've staked yourself by now." He was sitting on the chair and she was practically on top of him, growling the words into his ear. "You are too pathetic."
      She stood up straight and turned around, heading for the steps. Spike sat dazed for a moment, then ran after her, after realizing where she was going. He grabbed her by the arm and flung her to the floor, but she immediately got back up. "You wanna see how pathetic I am?" he said, as he raised hi fists, ready for a fight.
      "Try me, " she snapped. He lunged for her, but she did a tuck and roll and went right past him. She swung at him, but to no avail. He caught her hand and  threw her against the wall. She scurried to get back up, but she soon sunk back down when she saw him looming above her.
     She suddenly kicked up, hitting him in the stomach. She stood up and swung her fist at him, but he caught it, mid swing. He twisted her arm, bringing her to her knees. "Give up. Now come on. Spell, or die?"
      "Spell," she growled.
      "Good girl, " he grinned as he let go. She stood up and brushed herself off, then gave him a blank stare. "Well?" he asked impatiently. "Come on then!"
      "I don't have everything I need down here," she muttered.
      "Great! Well, guess who isn't going to get it?" he turned around and flopped down into the chair.
      "You are such a stubborn prick." Willow glared at him.
      "You got it, ducks." Spike smiled at her.
      "Terms of endearment now? Oh, what's next? Love? Baby? No, I don't think so. Look, I'll go get the stuff, just give me time."
      "Time? I don't think so. You're going to get the stuff right now."
      "By myself? I think you should come with. I mean, I might run off and never come back to do the spell. No Dru for poor little Spikey." Willow giggled.
      "Ya know Red, I think you just might want to stay here with me. I mean, why would you even bring it up that I had to come with you?" Spike stood up. "If I were you, I would have just let it go, seein' as how I didn't even notice. I would've just left, and never came back. But, I don't think you wanna do that. You fancy me , don't you?" Willow just looked at Spike a minute, her mouth set in a thin line, her face showing no expression. Then suddenly, she was doubled over with laughter.
      "Me? Fancy you?" Her laughter had now subsided to giggles every once in a while. "Let's just go, please. I can't take this anymore." She giggled again then turned around towards the steps of the lair. Spike followed.

*~*

      The two walked to the magic shop. "Spike," Willow said when they had reached it. "It's not open."
      "It's called breaking into it, love." Spike smiled.
      "You want me to break into a magic shop? Can't this wait? I can come and get the supplies tomorrow..." Spike just looked at her for a moment, then vamped out. "Ok, I'll do it." She walked over to the door and turned the knob. Locked. She then examined the door for a minute. Suddenly, she kicked up and hit the door dead in the center, but nothing happened. "Nice try," Spike chuckled.
      "Watch." Willow walked over to the door and blew on it. About a second later, it fell over. "Ha!" She declared as she stepped over the door and walked inside. She had picked up a thing or two from Buffy.
      She walked over to the shelves and examined the bottles carefully while Spike stood by watching. Every once in a while she would pick up a bottle, until she finally held six in her hands. She then grabbed a book near Spike and said, "Lets go." A wicked smile crept across Spike's face as he followed her out the door.

*~*

      The two were back in the lair and Willow was busy in the corner setting up a circle of candles. A dish and a tall golden cup sat in the middle, along with the six bottles of ingredients and the book. Spike just sat on the chair, looking amused.
     Willow was soon done lighting the candles and she seated herself in the middle of the circle. She opened the book up and read for a while. Then, she opened up all the bottles and placed them in a row in front of her. She took a pinch of powder out of the first bottle and put it in the dish. The dish was soon filled with powder or liquid from each bottle, except the last. Willow picked up the last bottle and poured half of it into the golden cup. Then, she began to speak. "Diana... goddess of love and the hunt... I pray to thee. Let my cries bind the heart of Spike's beloved. May she neither rest nor sleep until she submits to his will only. Diana, bring about this love and bless it." She then poured the liquid in the cup into the dish. There was a bright flash, and then the room went back to normal. The candles were all blown out. The dish was now empty, the bottles strewn everywhere. And one confused witch sat in the middle of it all.
      Spike suddenly got up and ran to her, kicking the candles and bottles out of his way. "Love, are you ok?" he said, as he knelt down beside her.
      "Yeah, I'm fine." Willow looked into Spike's eyes. "Did I ever tell you how gorgeous you are?"
      "No." Spike smiled. He was confused for a moment, not understanding why Willow had a sudden interest in him. But, seizing the moment, he said,"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" She just giggled and Spike leaned in and kissed her. Trying his luck he said,"I love you."
      "I love you too, baby." Willow giggled again and kissed Spike on the nose. "Wanna go for a walk?"
      "Where to?" Spike asked.
      "Anywhere. I wanna show my Spikey off to all the poor girls who can't have him." She thought a moment. "Let's go to the Bronze!"
      "Sure baby, anything for you." Spike helped her up and the two were soon out the door and on their way to the Bronze. The weirdness of the situation never even passed through Spike's mind. He was just enjoying the attention from Willow.

*~*

      Spike walked into the Bronze with his arm around Willow's waist. They walked towards the table where Buffy, Anya, Tara and Xander sat. "Hey guys!" Wil greeted them. Her and Spike came to a stop in front of all of them. Spike pulled her close to him and began to kiss her ear as she said, "What you up to?" She got no reply, only weird looks from all of them.
      "What's going on?" Buffy asked.
      "What do you mean?" Willow giggled.
      "Well, it's not every day you come walking into the Bronze all affectionate with a vampire," Xander said.
      "Sorry, but Spike and I are together now." Willow turned and smiled at Spike as she rubbed her nose against his. "In love." The two kissed, much to the despise of the group of Slayerettes.
      "Oh, please!" Buffy said, looking disgusted. "Not in public! Oh God, just never!"
      "You're just jealous!" Willow snapped. "Let's go dance." Daphne pulled Spike with her as she glared at Buffy.
      "Why does this seem so off the charts?" Buffy mused.
      "It's so wrong." Xander looked at the couple happily dancing and kissing on the dance floor. "I mean, just a couple of hours ago, they were engaged in an all out screaming match! What the hell happened?"
      "Xander," Anya piped up. "After we fight we make up like that. Well, a little more so, with the sex. So what's wrong with them?"
      "Anya, sweetie, please. Just...we'll talk later." Xander gave her a pleading look. She just shrugged.
      "It seems unnatural," Tara pointed out. "I mean of course it does because it's Spike and Willow, but it seems to me that there's magic involved."
      "Magic. Hmm," Xander said. "Well, we should trust Tara with this one. She did point out the whole Buffy/Faith body switching thing."
      "You're right." Buffy looked out at the dance floor. "I'm gonna go talk to Wil." She stood up. "I'll be right back."
      She walked over and grabbed Willow by the shoulder. "Hey, we gotta talk," she said, glancing at Spike.
      "Oh, come on!" Willow protested. "I really like this song!"
      "Well, I don't care. We need to talk." Wil pouted a second then turned to Spike. "Can you go for a sec? And when you get back, we're goin' elsewhere to have some fun." Spike just smiled, kissed her, then sauntered away. She turned back to Buffy. "What?" she scowled.
      "What happened tonight? I thought you hated him! I mean, at least that's what you told me earlier today."
      "Yeah, well, Buff, things change. I love Spike. He's perfect for me." Willow smiled as her eyes wandered over to him sitting at the table.
      "Yeah I'm sure. Look, you were gone quite a while before. I thought you were just going outside to look for Xander and Anya."
      "Well, I was." Willow turned her attention back to Buffy. "But at one point I blacked out and ended up with Spike in this little cave place and then we went to the magic store and then....we were here. That's all I remember."
      "Oh, ok." Buffy fixed her eyes on the floor.
      "Are we done?" Willow broke Buffy's train of thought.
      "Yeah." Buffy looked up. "Go ahead and dance again. I'm gunna sit down." Buffy made her way back to the table as Willow signaled for Spike to come dance with her.
      "It's magic," Buffy said as she sat down and told everyone what Willow had told her. "And that cave thingy is Spike's little lair. I know exactly where it is."
      "Well, " Xander said. "I say we go check it out!"
      "Me too. While our lovely couple is so busy over there," Tara said. " Maybe we can go and find out what spell it is and reverse it. Becasue this is majorly weird." Everyone turned to see Spike and Willow kissing agian.
      "Hurry," Xander declared. "Fast. Before I lose it." And with that, everyone was up and out of the Bronze without vampire or witch noticing.

 The gang made their way down the steps of Spike's lair.
      "What a mess!" Buffy said, as she saw the candles and bottles that littered the floor.
      "A spell definitely took place here," Tara said. She pushed past everyone and walked towards the open book. "I was right, a love spell. I can reverse it."
      "Thank god," Anya muttered.
      "Most of the ingredients in the bottles are on the floor. But I think I can make it work with the little bit that's left. I have to get these candles back in their circle." Tara began to place the candles where they originally were while Buffy, Anya, and Xander situated themselves on the steps. Tara sat down in the middle of the circle when all the bottles and candles were back in place. She then put all ingredients into the dish, except for the liquid in the last bottle. That bottle hadn't been knocked over, there was stil half left. That half went into the cup.
      Just as Tara was about to speak, Willow and Spike came running down the stairs. "Bloody hell!" Spike exclaimed. "The first night I get alone with my girl and you wankers are here! What are you doing?"
      "Just stand back," Buffy said as she stood up. Spike pulled Willow close to him and muttered an "Oh, well," as he kissed her cheek. Tara began to talk. "Diana, goddess of love, be gone. Hear no more thy siren's song." She poured the contents of the cup into the dish and a brilliant flash of light filled the room, then quickly went away. Everyone turned to Willow and Spike.
      They both stopped kissing and looked at each other. Willow's eyes grew wide and she said "Oh. My. God." She quickly pulled away from him.
      "What the hell is going on?" he exclaimed as he began wiping his mouth. Willow began to spit everywhere.
      "Ew!! Spike lips!! Ewww!!!" she cried. The others burst into fits of giggles.
      "What in the bloody hell happened?" Spike cried. "Why were we kissing? I thought I kidnapped you to make you do a spell for me!"
      "Me too! Oh, ew!" Willow continued to spit.
      "I think I know what happened," Buffy offered up as the laughter subsided. "Wil tried the spell, but it worked the wrong way and made you two fall madly in love with each other. What kind of spell was it?"
      "A spell to make the woman Spike truly loved fall madly in love with him," Tara said as she read through the book.
      "Meaning Dru," Willow pointed out.
      "What exactly did you do to perform this thing?" Xander asked.
      "I lit all the candles and set them in the circle. I put all the ingredients in the little dish, then I put the liquid in that bottle," Willow pointed," in the cup. Then I sat there and said the words and then poured the stuff in the cup into the dish and poof! Everything went black."
      "Well," Tara said. "She did it right."
      "But I don't understand. What could have happened?"
      "Nothing. Everything went right." Tara looked at Willow, who returned a blank stare.
      "Oh, no..." Spike muttered.
      Tara said," That means that Spike's true love isn't Dru, it's Willow."
