Chapter 1: Misery At Your Door
In the midst of a thunderstorm feet pounded pavement desperately. Occasionally terrified eyes looked behind to check if it's pursuers were still in deed chasing close behind.
They were.
The figure who was obviously the prey was wearing dark clothes and strange armor. The armor was a midnight blue with silver designs of a dragon and it's flames all over it. Tacked to the large shoulder pieces by two silver clasps, one on each side, was a midnight blue cloak on the outside, but pitch black on the inside. The armor consisted of shoulder plates, a torso and breastplate, two plates on the sides attached by a black belt, and large army type boots. The clothes were a deep pitch black as well and consisted of a black long sleeve shirt that clung to the arms and hooks at the middle fingers with silver rings and then it went loose back around the rest of the body. This shirt was tucked in to a pair of baggy pants that flared out and covered most of the boots. To these pants the horizontal belt attached the side plates, and a diagonal belt witch held a sword, it to was blue and silver. It was Japanese in style and the hilt was decorated with a dragon.
The person was obviously a girl and her long golden locks were held back at the nape of her neck with a simple hair tie. Fox ears sat on top of her head, the right one pierced twice and baring two silver hoops. A dark blue bandage was tied around her forehead, and her bangs were over it. Brown eyes darted around wildly at the creatures on her heals, and she ran harder, her brows knotted in worry for some reason only known to her.
The creatures behind were ghastly and overall disgusting in appearance. Their skin was decaying and it was sagging off their bodies, three in total. Their eyes seemed as though they would fall out and they left slim at footprints. This slim however stunk worse than the foulest smelling skunk on the planet and it hissed and bubbled, eating away at the pavement. They had no hair and their voices were just a gurgle for every time the breathed or tried to talk a bubbly black liquid would arise and muffle it. Not to mention, they talked in a different language.
"Sassssseri.ruo retsam lliw evah uoy! Kaaaaaaaaaai!!" the creatures hissed. Roughly translated it meant; 'Sasseri, our master will have you! You cannot run for long, we will hunt you down! Don't even think about going to the slayer! Kai!' The girl looked back, and in the same language she answered.
"Ouy lliw reven ekat em evila! Sasseri lliw reven evah ym rewop! Eb tnelis eliv gnieg!" this too, translated, meant; 'you will never take me alive! Sasseri will never have my power! Be silent vile being!'
//Just a little further// thought the girl, obviously known as Kai. She only had a little bit further to go! She could already smell the slayer known for her abilities of being able to kill demons of all sorts.
She winced and looked at her side, there was a gash there that seeped blood that was obviously abnormal. It seeped a deep black blood that in the moon's pearly white light, looked like it had a touch of crimson in it.
"Kaaaaaaiiiii!" the creatures hissed behind, elongating her name in their slurring breaths, the liquid hissing and bubbling down their rotting cheeks.
Kai did not have to look back to know they were catching up.
//A little further! Come on body, don't fail me now!// she put on an extra burst of speed as the house came in line. She knew the other two creatures called Corpses were no longer chasing her. They couldn't risk dieing together; they had to deliver their message to their lord, Sasseri.
//Just one more block. come on!// Kai could almost feel the breath on her neck as she round the corner to the street that would take her to the house of legend.

"Do you have a bloody five, whelp?" Spike growled, eyes narrowing at his initial target, Xander. Xander, however, only grinned, showing his white teeth.
"Go fish blood sucker."
"Wot? ARG!!" Spike 'fished' from their card pile, adding the new card to his hand. Dawn watched them, obviously amused as the two duked it out.
Over on the couch Buffy and Giles talked about ways they could unit more slayers and finally destroy the last of the vampires that still roamed the world.
Willow, however, was silently reading up more on spells, minding her own business and just being. well. Willow!
"Are you two almost finished?" Dawn asked suddenly. Xander looked at her with his one eye. He grinned.
"Sure, just let me beat big bad one more time and then I'll play you."
"You wont win you bloody wanker!" Xander casually ignored the raving vampire who began to curse.
"Got a six?" Xander asked casually, smiling triumphantly, knowing that Spike had a four. Spike stared at him, and almost in a trance, gave him the card.
"Yes! Ha! In your face you evil chipped vampire!"
Spike was not amused.
"DIE!!!!!!" again, the two engaged in a childish battle. Dawn flopped down on the couch with a sigh; those two would never change it seemed.
"And that's basically how to.." Giles trailed off and watched the two supposedly full-grown 'men' rough house on the floor. Buffy soon turned and watched, she sighed.
'Knock it off! Unless you two want me to make you do the watch together, I suggest you knock it off!"
Buffy was SO not someone to mess with when she was in a bad mood.
Obviously.
Spike and Xander sat on the couch, or Xander did. Spike just walked over to a corner far, far away from the 'whelp' as he called him.
Xander then stated a game of Clue with Dawn and forgot all about the former 'big bad'. Well, technically Spike WAS still the big bad; he was just weaker cause he was chipped.
Anyway, things soon quieted down, and everyone went to their 'happy places' in a way.

Kai panted heavily as she neared the house, she cleared the yard.
But the corpse made its move and she luckily jumped. She spun and went crashing right through the window. She hit the ground and didn't move or get up; the corpse vanished in a swirl of hellish flames.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Bloody soddin' 'ell!" Spike exclaimed as the projectile careened through the window. Almost as soon as the body hit the floor did Buffy come with her stake already drawn; ready to kill anything if it even so much as moved a muscle.
"Buffy, what's that?"
"Dawn, stay back!" Buffy ordered. Spike prodded the 'creature' with his boot.
"Looks dead slayer."
"Mmm." came the silent words from what was thought to be the 'dead body'. Fox ears twitched and Slowly Kai got to her knees.
She didn't get nay farther because a knife was place don her neck, and a stake poised before her heart.
"Who are you." Buffy narrowed her eyes, and for emphasis pressed the blade a bit further.
"Giles, what IS that?" Xander asked, as he too had come nearer. The man in question rubbed the bridge of his nose and cleaned his glasses quickly. He stared for a minute.
"I'm not sure." he said matter-oh-factly.
"Just great, bloody watches can't do a damn thing right." Spike muttered.
"Well if you're so smart what is it?" Buffy asked, not looking at Spike; instead she kept her eyes firmly trained to Kai who slowly got up and raised her hands.
"I will not hurt you." She said quietly.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Kai, I am a dragon. I am in need of your assistance slayer." And then she knelt before Buffy, lowering her head to her knee in submission.
"Cool!" Dawn exclaimed.
"What are you here for?" Kai raised her head.
"I will explain it to you later, how about over a cup of coffee? I have traveled many restless nights to find you."
"Sounds like a plan, Willow, please make something for our guest."
"Sure Giles." Willow went away to work.
"But Giles-"
"Buffy, I do believe it's best we know more about this. creature." He smiled and Kai got to her feet.
"You're hurt." Dawn said.
"Oh man! I just redid this carpet!" Xander exclaimed. Kai bowed her head in apology.
"I am sorry."
"Coffee's ready!" Giles ignored his adoptive son's outburst and put on a smile.
"Shall we?"
A.N. Tell me what you all think, k? Read and review!
Next time on Misery Likes Company: Kai explains the whole reason she's here, and who exactly is after he and why she's needs Buffy's help!
P.S: I know Spike died, but I don't want him to, so there! Nya nya!
