A/N: This is my first fanfiction so please tell me what you think. So this story takes place after Buffy is brought back to life after defeating Glory. The sleeping with Spike did happen but ended sooner rather than later. Tara is still alive so no Dark Willow. Faith is released from jail after a year due to lack of evidence and stays with Angel for awhile. After three months of fighting side by side with Angel and his gang Faith decides she needs to return to Sunnydale and make amends to the people she wronged. But when she gets there something unexpected has happened to Buffy.

Chapte1

Buffy and Willow were walking through Restfield cemetery. It seemed like an unusually quiet night but Buffy wanted it, no needed it. But she knew something was off, her Slayer senses were telling her that something wasn`t right. As they strolled through the cemetery talking about Xander and Anya, Willow decided to bring up the subject that Buffy seemed to be avoiding like the plague."So..."she said nervously as if though Buffy would suddenly punch her lights out, "have you seen Spike recently?"Buffy sighed heavily. When she was brought back from beyond the grave, she felt empty and emotionless. She couldn`t feel anything and she was like a zombie most of the time everyday just going through daily routines with no feelings.

Then she started sleeping with Spike or more accurately they were going at it like wild animals, but she felt ,hate,and disgust. But when the scoobies found out about what she and Spike were doing, Buffy finally decided to tell them what was going on, and why she was sleeping with Spike. She told them that they didn`t bring her back from some hell dimension but instead they ripped her out of heaven. They all felt really guilty about it especially Willow but she forgave them because they really didn`t know. Willow was slightly traumatized from catching Buffy and Spike together in the act and after that incident Buffy stopped going to see Spike and they hadn`t spoken about it until now. Spike was now obsessed with her."No Wills, "replied Buffy after a minute of thinking, "and I better not see his face in the very near future or he`ll be meeting the pointy end of my stake. "said Buffy thrusting her stake out in a demonstration. Willow giggled slightly and Buffy laughed along with her. Spike seemed to have found a way to hurt Buffy even with the chip in his head and the others were worried especially Giles, who didn`t trust the bleach blonde vampire one bit.

"Yeah but don`t worry about any of that, he's only been stalking me and standing under my bedroom window trying to see me in the nude, "said Buffy shuddering internally."Oooh!"said Willow with excitement in her voice, "do you want me to put up a protection spell,huh? Because I could you know, I even know this one spell where even if a vampire is invited in he still can`t enter if he has evil intentions and-"Buffy cut her off saying, "Wills its okay, there's no need to bring out the big guns. It`s just creepy stalking types of things but if he tries anything he knows he`ll be a pile of dust."Willow slightly pouted but agreed with her. Buffy didn`t want her friend to use magic to help them because magic seemed to be her answer to all their problems now, plus it was putting a strain on her and Tara's` relationship. Tara didn`t approve of Willow using the Dark arts.

But Willow was still experimenting with the dark arts in secret and Tara was very worried about said she shouldn`t worry about her and that she could handle it but the others were all still worried about her."Well is it always this busy on patrol?"asked Willow sarcastically breaking the slightly awkward looked at her wide eyed and said,"Wills!You shouldn`t say things like that! Now something definitely is going to happen!!Why?!"asked Buffy looking towards the night sky. Willow looked panicked and started to babble, "Why didn`t you stop me from talking? You know how I am in long awkward silences!!I say the first thing that pops in my head, why doesn`t-"and before Willow could finish her sentence she was being pushed out of the way. A huge red scaly demon threw Buffy over a tombstone, and Buffy quickly got up into a fighting stance and ready to take on this demon that looked like it came straight out of hell."You can`t say things like that on a Hellmouth and not expect something to happen!"shouted Buffy as she quickly rolled out of the way of an incoming attack and then continued, "it's like asking for trouble!"

"You know I tend to babble! You could have stopped me!"shouted Willow from behind a tombstone. Buffy didn`t answer back because she was to busy trying to die...again. The demon was powerful and Buffy only had a stake with her. Giles would definitely be giving her a lecture about it tomorrow. Then all of a sudden the demon catches her off guard and knocks the air out of her and a bright white light comes from the demon and she could faintly hear Willow shouting, "Buffy look out!!"and then she fell unconscious. All of a sudden she wakes up and it felt like she was out for hours but she had only been passed out for a few seconds. She was on the ground and she could see Willow a few feet away and the demon was nowhere in sight.' Where the hell did the demon go?!`wondered Buffy still on the ground. She looked towards Willow for answers but Willow was just standing there with her eyes looking like it was going to pop out of her sockets and her mouth wide open.

Willow seen the looks Buffy was sending her and she quickly breaks out of her shock and says, "Buffy don`t you-err well feel, I don`t know, different, maybe shorter than usual...?"said Willow in a slightly panicked voice. Buffy rolled her eyes and stood up, "Please Willow this is no time to be making fun of my height..."she trailed off and suddenly froze. That voice couldn`t have come from her. It was high pitched and squeaky."Okay Buffy, now don`t freak ou-""Aaaah!!"Buffy screamed and her voiced echoed around the graveyard. Willow quickly ran towards her,"Sssh!!Buffy, your going to wake up the dead with that screaming, if you haven`t already, she muttered underneath her breath. Buffy quickly stepped forward and kick Willow in her shin and then again getting no reaction out of her friend. Willow on the other hand had difficulty keeping the amusement out of her eyes and her laughter under control. Buffy was the most, cutest and most adorable little four year old. Willow guessed she was around four years of age even though Buffy was still kind of short for a four year old, but maybe that's why she wasn`t tall as adult Buffy."Okay Buff enough with the kicking.

We can safely presume that you are no longer a slayer but a now normal yet very cute four year old."Buffy crossed her now tiny arms over her chest and glared at Willow."Gee you think?"she added sarcastically. Willow was freaked out by the way the four year old Buffy was glaring at her.' Four years olds can`t glare like that, can they?` wondered Willow still looking at Buffy. She had the whole sweet and innocent look going on and Willow was sure she got whatever she wanted when she was this little. Her hazel green eyes even more bright and innocent but it seemed that parts of the adult Buffy got left behind. And from the way Buffy was acting she wasn`t reverted to her four year old self but she was just trapped in her four year old self's` body.

"Okay, we have to get back home and tell Giles what happened, so let me carry you we`ll get there faster, "said Willow already preparing to pick Buffy up."No, I can walk myself, thank you, "said Buffy rolling her now four year old eyes. Everything she normally would have done now seemed hilarious even her rolling her eyes was just so cute. Willow wanted to pinch her little pink cheeks but she knew when Buffy was back to her normal self she would kick her butt."Look, it's getting late and it will only be this one time, okay?"asked Willow even though she knew if Buffy refused she`d still pick her up because she was as harmless as a fly and lighter than a cheap romance novel."Fine, "said Buffy uncrossing her arms and getting ready for Willow to lift her, "but only this once and we will never speak of this again, understood?"said Buffy. Willow just nodded with wide eyes.

It was too weird hearing Buffy talk to her like that in a four year old form. Willow quickly picked Buffy up and the clothes that now was on the ground and made their way home, praying that they wouldn`t run into any trouble on the way back. Buffy snuggled in Willow and Willow had to stop herself from awing because she was just being so adorable. Buffy on the other had was feeling very tired and she guessed it was because she was now a four year old and it was way past a four year olds bedtime.

Meanwhile

A black Harley speeds by the Welcome to Sunnydale California sign. Dark brunette curls fly this way and that. The figure clad in black leather pants, a white wife beater and leather jacket, entered the town of Sunnydale home of the Hellmouth after a year and a half of her knew she shouldn`t have returned and she should have just listened to Angel telling her it was too soon, but after fighting alongside Angel and the rest of the AI gang for three months she felt she needed to make amends with the people she wronged and all of them were here in Sunnydale. She had alot to make up for and she was going to prove to them she had changed. She wasn`t the same person she was before. Prison changed things for her, put things into perspective for her. A year was a long time for a Slayer to be locked up but she had to face all the things she did, the people she hurt and she was going to start that by coming back to where it all began. They may not want her there and Buffy will definately kick her butt all the way back to LA but she had to try because she would never forgive herself if she didn't. So the newly reformed rogue slayer road off into the night on her way to facing the people she had hurt the most in the past.' This was going to be interesting and maybe even very painful', thought Faith and smirked as she rode to her destination faster.
