Walking by the police station, Clem hurried homeward to beat the sunrise. His head was suddenly pulled toward the alley by the strong scent of blood. A friend's blood.

As he tended Spike in his crypt that day, he realized that his injuries were so serious that he might not recover without some special help. Expression resolved, he went hunting behind the Espresso Pump. Spike needed blood, and animal blood wasn't good enough. The caffeine was a bonus, he thought grimly to himself.

After all, he was a demon. People shouldn't be very surprised if he acted like one sometimes.

Man, I like Clem. And it's better that he's ambigious, like Lorne. In fact, Clem and Lorne would make a great team.

Hee! Remember my Kitten Poker fic? Someone else did a response to that challenge that involved those two. I don't remember where it was posted, maybe churchofspike, or the Yahoo Group Spikeshaven. It was pretty cute though, if you like bizarre slash.
