Xander stared at the two that where challenging him. A challenge he
would ignore except for the queen they where protecting.
A queen that was threatening a cub of His' Pride.
With a growl Xander stepped forward and slammed the palm of his hand
into Tor's forehead. Forcing the teenager to lose his balance and
tumble to the ground.
Kyle reacting faster then Xander expected connected with a heavy
right.
Turning the impact into a spin Xander returned with a heavy back hand
across Kyle's face, grabbing the back of Kyle's shirt as he stumbled
away and threw him backwards against the cage bars.
As he rebounded off the bars Kyle was doubled over by Xander kneeing
him in the gut before the air rushed out of his lungs as he was
thrown over the guardrail.
Turning back to Tor as he rose Xander started to circle around in the
close confines between the railing and bars.
Spinning around the heavy kick Tor launched Xander snapped a kick
onto the back of Tor's knee as it descended.
As Tor stumbled back rubbing his leg Xander stalked closer, ducking
under the first swing Xander grabbed the second.
Smiling for a moment Xander threw the arm to the side, forcing Tor to
spin as well.
Xander was waiting as he tried to spin around and swing. Ducking
under the clumsy haymaker Xander stood rabidly and backhanded Tor
into the cage.
As he stepped back from the now enraged Jaguars he turned in time to
catch the end result of Xander roundhouse kick.
Stumbling back Tor fell over the guardrail and crashed to the ground.
Looking up Xander saw Dawn standing over the unconscious form of
Rhonda as Heidi held a bleeding nose.
Carefully hopping over the rail himself Xander checked the pulses of
Tor before moving over to Kyle who was just regaining his breath.
Putting his foot on the young mans chest Xander applied a bit of
weight to the already heavy breathing of the young man.
"Understand this, you are nothing to me. I will have no regrets about
removing your worthless addition from the species if you ever touch
one of My' girls again." He growled before stepping back he turned
on the downed man and walked over to Dawn.
Dawn smiled as she watched the Prime deal with the threats before
walking over to her.
"You okay?" Xander asked simply as Dawn lowered her head and nodded.
Xander smiled before rubbing his hand down her cheek and smiling at
her. "Come on, let's rejoin the pride before the queens get upset"
Smiling the two walked out of the now quite Jaguar house.

"Buffy did you notice anything weird about Dawn this afternoon?"
Willow asked as they moved through the press of people in the Bronze.
Buffy stopped and looked at her friend for several seconds as if she
had just grown another head. "We are talking about the same Dawn here
right?"
Willow nodded slowly "Y-yeah, I mean I thought she was going to punch
Miss Wockenfuss before" She paused as she thought about it "Before
Xander gave her that look."
Buffy just shrugged as they sat at a table "I didn't notice a look,
But then again I'm not as Hyper-aware of him as ooh, say for Example
you"
"Hyper-Aware?" Willow asked slightly confused as she sat across from
Buffy.
Buffy shrugged again as she rested her chin on her hand "Well, I'm
not constantly monitoring his health, his moods, his Blood Pressure"
She said pointedly as Willow perked up.
"One Thirty over Eighty" She said as she smiled again as Buffy
started to laugh.
"You got it bad girl." She said shaking her head slightly.
Willow got a far away look as she thought about Xander again "H-he
makes my head go tingly, you know what I mean?" she asked.
Buffy thought about it "I Dimly recall" she said as Willow smiled.
"But it hasn't happened to you lately?" willow pressed as Buffy
looked back at her food and shrugged.
"Not of late." Lied as she picked at her food.
"Not even for a Dangerous and mysterious' older man who's leather
jacket your wearing right now?" willow interrogated.
Buffy looked around for a way out "Goes with the shoes" she defended
as Willow smiled.
"Come on, Angel pushes your buttons, you know he does." She stated as
Buffy got a far away smile.
"I suppose some girls might find him good looking..." she trailed off
as willow continued to stare. "If they have eyes, all right he's a
honey but..." she thought about it for a minute. "It's just, he's never
around, and when he is all he wants to talk about is Vampires, I-I
just can't have a relationship with..."
Willow interrupted as she sat up and smiled "There he is!"
"Angel?"
"Xander" Willow responded with a sigh.
Xander moved through the crowd with ease. "Girl's" He said Smiling as
he moved around the table. "Sorry I'm late I just... forgot we were
going to be here" he lied as he thought about the last thirty minutes
he had spent curled up in front of the space heater.
Willow smiled as Xander swallowed a Chunk of Buffy Bread. "Xander you
still want me to help you with Geometry tomorrow?" she asked as
Xander swallowed the bread and half a glass of Coke. "We can work
after class?"
Xander nodded as he choked down the food and stared at it for a
second. "What is this?" he asked as poked the bread with a finger.
"Well it Was' my Croissant" She muttered as she handed him a napkin.
"Great" he muttered as he wiped his mouth. "We get bird food." He
said glancing around as more people walked by.
"Xander are you okay? Did I do something?" Xander heard Willow ask as
the Pheromones warned him of heavy emotions from her.
"No I'm just, Restless" he muttered as he looked about again.
"Well we could go to the ice-cream place" Willow suggested as Xander
looked at her strangely.
Thinking about it for a second Xander shrugged "nhaa... how about
Coffee?" Xander asked as Willow perked up.
The Espresso Pump closes in an hour or T-there's always Starbucks"
She offered as he nodded.
"Let's go, you coming Buff?" he asked as Buffy looked at the two
strangely.
"No, I think I'll just hang here for a bit. But you two go and have
fun." She said as Willow smiled and jumped up.
"Come on Xan."
As the two walked out Buffy shook her head before she got back up to
re-order her food.
