Buffy the Shemale Vampire Slayer Part 5

During the first part of the explanation, Giles said next to nothing, regarding Buffy with a worried expression that made her think that he might suppose her to have gone mad.

Finally, he said, "A penis? Testicles?"

Buffy, forlorn, nodded. "Giles, what am I going to do?"

Giles said nothing. He merely continued to study his former protégé. When at last he did speak, it was with a tone of resignation. "There's a spell."

Buffy brightened. "That's swell!"

Giles didn't return her smile. In fact, he looked way too somber for Buffy.

"It is, isn't it?" she asked hopefully. "It's swell there's a spell?"

"A Feral demon's bite is nasty," he replied.

"Everyone keeps saying that!"

"And the effects tend to recur."

"That's what Anya said."

"But we can reverse the effects."

For the first time since the Feral demon had bitten her, Buffy looked relieved.

"There's something more important for us to do first, though."

"Willow," Buffy said.

"Right." Giles looked at Buffy. She was blushing. Like her, he felt utterly mortified, and he wondered if it showed on his face. "You're sure there's no other way?"

"Not according to Anya."

"We can't, Buffy."

"We don't have a choice."

"There's always a choice."

"Not if we want Willow back."

"Think about what you're suggesting."

"I have thought about it, all the way over here, and I'm as grossed out about it as you are. It's revolting and vile and disgusting, but there's no other way, Giles."

"You're sure?"

Buffy felt tears gathering in her eyes. She blinked. "Yes."

Giles looked at the girl who'd been like a daughter to him since Buffy had enrolled in Sunnydale High School at the age of sixteen. He couldn't believe he was going to do what he was about to do, but, as Buffy had said, he had no choice, any more than Buffy did, not if they wanted to retrieve Willow from the demon dimension into which Anya had cast the witch to spite Xander.
