Xander ends up possessed by James and has some harsh words

"It's called the Magnus Tripod," Amy explained.

"I'm familiar with it," Giles agreed. "It's a powerful spell. Likely out of our reach."

"Not if we combine what we're doing," Jenny said as she began to think through the idea. "Yeah, if you didn't have experience with magic, it could easily backfire. Make the situation even worse."

"Good thing we're not foolish enough to make that mistake," Xander mumbled.

They were meeting in Miss Calendar's class and she began to draw on the board. "We need three points and a center focus, so four casting spots. Rupert, Amy, Willow, and me."

"Me?" Willow asked nervously.

"I think you have potential, and we've covered the basics," Jenny said.

"What do we do?" Buffy asked.

"We'll need your support," Amy said. "It is almost certain the spirit will try and possess someone to act out the events one more time."

"What is there are three of us?" Xander said. "Two people get possessed, the third person can break up the ritual."

"We don't have a third," Giles said.

"Cordelia," Buffy suggested. She was met with strange looks, "She's still mad about that snake bite to her face. She's not much for helping, but she'll come for the ****."

"Yes, well, we know where the possession takes place," Jenny said as she pointed to the center of the Magnus Tripod. "Buffy, Xander, and Cordelia will set up there. Who will do the spell?"

"I will," Amy volunteered. "That's the less technical side, but whoever is present will have a lot of energy focused on them. My body is used to that."

"Don't walk away from me, cunt!" Xander shouted as he followed after Buffy.

Buffy froze in her place, the line not exactly what she was expecting to hear.

"What are you doing?!" James screamed in Xander's head. "This is my body now."

"But I feel what you feel," Xander said. "I can draw it out."

"Do you remember all the things we did," Xander said as she channeled the spirits memories. "Do you remember the first time you sucked me off? How eager you were to swallow my cum? How wet your pussy was around my fingers afterwards?"

Buffy could only nod her head as her body trembled, the memories going through her.

Xander managed to glance around. Cordelia was being held against the wall by a host of phantasmal arms. Amy was nearby, but she was doing something...magic. Xander had to keep this going.

"You were the one who started this, slut," Xander said. "You needed my cock. Fucking worshiped it. After all we've done, you don't get to walk away from me now."

"It has to end," Buffy whispered.

"Then tell me you didn't love it. Tell me you didn't love the first time I was inside you. Tell me you were lying when you said you were complete. Tell me you didn't love it. Tell me you didn't love me."

At that moment James **** Xander's finger to squeeze the trigger. At the same time Xander heard Amy scream, "Be free!"

Buffy bent over backwards as the bullet whizzed by overhead.

The spirit of James looked at the gun in horror and threw it on the ground. Buffy slowly walked forward. "I loved it. I loved it all. I was a needy little bitch for your cock. Even now the thought of it keeps me tied to this plane. But it has to end James. We have to move on. I love you. I'm ready for that."

James nodded his head. He moved in and kissed her.

A moment later they broke apart, "Xander?" Buffy asked.

"Yes, um, wow," he said as he backed away. "Sorry. I was trying to keep him distracted."

"Those were your words?" she asked.

"Yes, sorry," he apologized. "It was..."

"You can be honest," Buffy whispered.

He opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, but was interrupted, "Hey, I'm still kind of stuck here."

They looked over to see that Cordelia had been pulled partially into the wall. She didn't look hurt, but she was a foot off the ground.

"Right, we're on our way," Buffy said.

"You okay, Amy?" Xander asked.

She was leaning against the balcony, gasping for air. "I'll be fine, just need to catch my breath."

As Buffy walked over to Cordelia, she thought about what Xander had said. It had been cruel. Offensive. Inappropriate. Gross.

But also so fucking hot.

And Buffy wasn't the only one who thought so.
