thinking Hyena/Coyote thoughts

SUNNYDALE: SPRING 1997

Well, that was an experience I'll never forget; although, I now have another black, white and red all over joke. Seriously though, I'm tired of putting up this "Happy" mask that everyone knows me by. I miss Jessie, he was only one able to deal with the real me. The only one I could go to when dad and mom were particularly nasty in their fights.

I really envy Buffy when it comes to parents; she's got the best mother in the world. However, I also think she's a brat when she complains when Mrs. S wants to spend time with her. Speaking of which, there's my blond goddess right now. She looks kinda bummed out, maybe I can cheer her up.

Author's Note: I'm sure you all have seen this episode, I'm going to skip straight to the hyena house scene

There's Kyle and his goons, Lance better appreciate me helping him out.

"Hey, pick on someone your own species," Xander yelled as he got Lance out of harm's way.

Kyle, feeling like a pack leader staring down an upstart, "What, are you gonna get in my face?"

In that instant, the hyenas start to cry...their creepy laughter echoing throughout the house. Xander, Kyle, and the others turn to the pit and become entranced. Lance trips over himself as he's trying to leave cause Kyle, Heidi, Rhonda and Tor to notice and laugh at his misfortune. Their laughter eerily similar to the hyenas.

Meanwhile, Xander falls to the ground unconscious as battle for dominance takes place in his mind.

Rhonda, being the strongest mind of the group assumed control. "Lets go, leave the dork on the ground...lets go have some fun." Kyle and the others followed her out of the house.

INSIDE XANDER'S MINDSCAPE

I feel a presence trying to invade the pup and take over. Ah, it's Hyena...time to have a little fun. After all, Kyūbi always enjoyed psychological warfare on invading spirits.

"Why can't I take over this boy's body," Hyena yelled.

"WHO DARES DISTURB ME!!"

I know that voice...but he's been gone for over a hundred years...it can't be.

"Hello mongrel, why are you not in Africa as we agreed centuries ago," Coyote asked the secondary African primal spirit known as Hyena.

"Listen Coyote, it's not my fault that zoo keeper decided to bring my blood clan to the Hellmouth. I take it the reason, I haven't taken over this boy is because of you."

Coyote replied, "Despite being a bastard, you are correct in that matter. So long as I am sealed in this pup, not you or any other spirit may even hope to possess him. Now, I suggest you leave, the pup will awaken soon, unless you would like to share this cage with me until the pup dies."

Hyena panicked, bid the trickster farewell and left Xander's mindscape. Upon his departure, Xander awoke in front of the seal binding Coyote within him.

"What's going on, where am I?" Xander asked to no one in particular.

"Welcome at long last pup, we have much to talk about."

Xander, having heard the booming voice turned to the cage...his eyes widened at the sight of those huge amber eyes and fangs. He promptly cursed and approached the cage.

"What's Wile E. Coyote doing behind a cage?"

"I am not that cartoon character, I merely took this form for your benefit; would you rather see my true form? In any event, we are in your mindscape. I am Coyote, the Trickster spirit of the tribes of Tongva, Cree, Apache, Nezperz, Navajo and various other native peoples of this land."

"Okay, but why are you in my head?"

"Because I was sealed into you on the day of birth, the sealer hoping to kill me as I would be sealed within a mortal."

"WHAT!!"
