"Were you not listening earlier, or do you just ignore everything that doesn't involve Cordelia?" I ask, keeping my voice level, but scathing. The puzzled look on his face almost gets me laughung, but not quite.
"I already asked Giles if we should patrol, and believe me when I say I would see Angelus dead before almost anyone else here but I agree with Willow, re-ensouling him will be more painful and humiliating for him."
I said softly as I let go of Cordy's hand and moved forward.
"I just suggested we go patrol to make sure no other little baddies are made."
Oh my god did I just say little baddies? I need sleep...or just to take my mind off of the amazing sex I had with Cordelia...ok no more sex thoughts...Angelus..must think of killing Angelus..not sex..Oh god
My face contorted as I thought about this, I knew that if Cordy saw me she would know what I was thinking, but would she? I was thinking bad things..things that I shouldn't be thinking about when the topic of an evil vampire is at hand.
"And for that matter"
I continued trying to force these thoughts out of my head.
"Why don't you want to kill him? Why would you choose to let him live after he took advantage of Willow...you say you love her yet all you can do is follow her wishes like a good puppy dog"
When I realized what I just said it was too late to take it back..I had said too much.
"You're not listening again." I tell him as I smile, trying to stop the anger rising in me. "I do want to kill him, it's my love for Willow that's stopping me."
I say the next part slowly, as if I'm explaining it to a child. "Willow doesn't want him dead, so I won't kill him."
I said loudly not caring that Willow was sitting in the room, though she made it clear she was.
"Uhh Hello, sitting right here, sitting exactly right here"
She declared as she looked between the two of us.
"Well, I am sorry but you arent thinking straight Willow. He is a killer and should be put down. What is it going to take for you all to realize that?"
"And if he was human?" I ask. "Would you feel the same? I can be a killer Xander. If I escaped my cage and killed someone, should I be put down? And don't say that the wolf isn't me, the wolf is as much a part of me as Angelus is a part of Angel."
I look at Xander sternly while reaching out and taking hold of Willow's hand. I would stand up to face him down but the fact he's a good bit taller than me would make the scene too comical.
Everyone was really tense. Buffy was hurt. No one could see her.
"Angel's not like that with his soul. We have to remember that, Xander. Yes, what he did is wrong, but if Willow wants to be creepy and keep Angelus from being killed, more power to her", I say bluntly.

"Sorry, but I told you so kind of fits here."

"Xander", I whispered squeezing his hand.

God, I hate hospitals.

I said finally standing up.
"would you please stop talking as if I am not in the room."
I asked to everyone in the room.

I said loudly.
"All of you, there will be no patrolling, you, Xander will not go after Angelus, and can we please focus on the reason we are here."
I demanded as I stood there waiting on their response.

"Willow, I was talking to you. It was those two boneheads who were acting like you weren't in the room."
I rolled my eyes. If we weren't allowed to see Buffy, I see no reason to stay. I just want to go home.
"Giles is right, though. What matters here is Buffy."
