Rating PG-13 for some strong language and violence
All the legal crap: Buffy, Angel and Co. Belong to Joss Whedon and a bunch of other
people I don't know about while Raziel and Kain belong to Crystal Dynamics and Eidos
Interactive. I don't own them but I hope I can have some fun using them to fuel my
creativity
Authors Note: this story takes place after "Into the Woods"
Means thought and " " means spoken words
Author's Note: the cliffhanger ending of last chapter will be explained later this part is to
flesh out the events in between so some event times may be altered sorry for the
confusion but if you bear with me I promise it will make more sense and i apologize before hand for any and all grammer mistakes.

Raziel was cursing himself for running like a newborn fledgling after the brief

skirmish in which he had met the blond woman from this world. It wasn't like I

was afraid of her, but there was a unique scent to her soul that he had never tasted

before. So instead of facing her I ran into the spectral realm well while I am here I

might as well do something useful.


Looking at the familiar blue-green coloration of the realm of the lost souls he could

still feel her soul's presence in this realm as it slowly made its way out of the alley.

Raziel would have to continue the rest of his hunt in the privacy of the spectral

Realm in order to avoid detection.


Buffy sat stunned in the magic shop as Giles finished reading the scroll and as soon as it

was put away she began to assault him with questions.

"All right so this Soul Reaver Guy is here and you want me to find him why?" "I mean

the way it sounds he is sooo better suited for the job than I am so I say let him have it"

"Buffy it is not a matter of power it is problem of uncertainty," Giles struggled to explain

"The information in the scroll might be accurate or it might not it was the recorded

ranting of a slightly psychotic seer who had power to view into the underworld." "In fact

the council knows next to nothing about him I only received this scroll because it was

part of the old library collection"


"So basically he might be good, bad, or apocalyptic well that answers my questions"

Buffy remarked as she began to head towards the weapons cabinet kept in the training

room, "I think I am gonna need more than stakes for this guy if he is good then I have no

prob, but anything else and he and my axe friend are going to have a short but painful

conversation."


"Somehow I seriously doubt that child" came a voice from the front of the store "I

honestly think you are underestimating your competition" and there in the doorway

stood Raziel in full Soul Reaver form.


After roaming the streets for a long time by his terms and finding not the slightest

trace of Kain in all the demon activity he slowly began to follow the trail left by the

blond woman. Her soul it is a unique texture as if it were multiple souls instead of

merely a singulair soul.


So he wound his way through the ghostly spectral streets of the hamlet he was in

until he found the soul and with her was a group of other interesting souls. One had

an essence about it that marked her as a fallen demon he sensed not one but three

magic users inside the shop. Two were obviously very mortal but one held the

promise of a transformation waiting for some power to trigger it he would have to

observe this one. Lastly there appeared to be a mortal who had no power or energy

but if one looked closely the plainness was a form of subconscious camouflage for a

VERY familiar force.


Finally tiring of being the endless silence of the Spectral Realm he performed the

simple command that would allow him to appear and the Physical Realm but not

disguised.


The only thing he saw was the blond from before gathering weapons she expects to

fight me well she has balls but not much brains. Upon hearing her threats he could

not help himself


"Somehow I seriously doubt that child" he replied with a grim chuckle "I honestly

think you are underestimating the competition."


Chuckling to himself he walked inside and without any sort of invitation began to

examine the contents of the jars on the shelves. "Primitive magics at best, but I

suppose you must make do with what little you have" Ceasing his examinations he

proceeded to shift back into his human shroud and calmly took a seat on one of the

tables as he let his appearance sink in.


Buffy stared at Raziel in complete shock, as she finally was able to get a good look at this

being called the Soul Reaver. He was about 6 feet tall and looked to weigh only about

100 pounds due to the fact that he had no apparent fat or muscle. His bone structure was

easily seen and he had no evidence of internal organs, his hands were three pointed claws

and his feet were not much different. His face was the biggest shock covered in a brown

and gray cloth she could see that he had no bottom portion to his skull.


Despite all this he moved with more grace and silence than she could ever manage and

only Xander's hand on her shoulder prevented her from moving forward when Raziel sat

down and changed into his human form after the shock had set in she decided it was time

to move into Slayer mode.


"Who the hell do you think you are just waltzing in her like you own the place!?" Buffy

yelled at the middle-aged human who sat on one of the shops tables. "I mean its one

thing for the undead to kill each other but you just vanish in thin air where did you come

from anyway?"


Raziel raised an eyebrow before responding "Well you certainly are a feisty soul aren't

you Slayer, Oh yes I know who you are it seems like every Nether creature in town

knows you and fears you yet I fail to see why." To me all you are is a idiotic slip of a

girl"


Before she could respond he continued "But I suppose you must know I think the scrolls

told you some about me, foolish decision of mine to let the Watchers have them. What is

it you humans say no crying over spilt milk?"


"If you must know I am here for a singular purpose to find and kill an enemy of mine a

master vampire by the name of Kain. Since you insist on interfering you may be my

assistant for this quest since it is your fault I cannot locate the bastard."


Raziel watched as the restraining hand placed on the Slayer could not prevent her from

coming after him. "My fault!!" "What the hell do you mean its my fault aren't you some

kind of super demon hunter it's your fault for being lazy."


"Laziness, look her little girl I have been hunting demonic powers since before the

concept of a Slayer was in men's minds, hell before man existed in this pathetic little

plane!"


He could feel the nonexistent blood make its way to his human cheeks and the

pulsing of the Soul Reaver as it sensed his anger and sought eagerly for the

offending soul to quench its eternal hunger. With a great effort Raziel restrained

himself as he stood up lost his human shroud once again and decided to teach the

ignorant child a lesson.


"You know nothing of being betrayed and being reborn just to hunt the one who has

betrayed you to kill members of your own flesh and blood for the purpose of having

the strength to kill your own father!!!" "No little girl you know nothing I would not

be here if you had been slaying as you should have. Even so you are spared due to

the fact that I sense a kindred sprit inside one of you; a sprit which will aid me in

the final destruction of Kain."


With a slow and deliberate gaze Raziel swept the room with his pulsing white eyes

and seemed to settle upon two likely choices one being a yet another blond seated

near the Redhead who seemed to radiate the strong magic and the only young male

in the room this one who seemed without physical power radiated a energy in his

soul which could not be denied so Raziel focused his might to call upon the glyphic

power of sound magic. Every mortal was now stunned so he slung the Blond and

the Male across his shoulders and with a final wave of his arms vanished to the

Spectral Realm and to the testing grounds within.


Anya was the first to wake up and noticing that Xander was gone began to panic like she

never had before this was worse than all the bunny's in the world combined. She moved

toward Buffy as she writhed on the floor and tried to shake her awake but the Slayer had

been to close to the sonic discharge and would be out of commission for a while. Giles

and the others were starting to come to and as soon as they realized both Tara and Xander

were gone they began to panic. Well, Willow and Anya did the panicking Giles just did

the whole British thing and started looking through his books to find more information

about Raziel. Anya shivered what the hell had that murderer done to her poor Xander

whatever it was he would pay.


Xander woke up and realized he was chained to a column in a really dark cave next to

him he could hear Tara breathing so he knew she was alive at least looking around all he

could se was sand and rock and he relaxed he began to hear guttural growls in the

surrounding fog and darkness…


What has Raziel found out about Tara and Xander and where are they now? A little
melodramatic maybe but it will be fun to find out on part 3 of Sunnydale Reaver The
Chosen.. Please R&R any suggestions and flames are welcome if I don't know what you
want to see than I cant make it better
