Disclaimer: I'm lazy. See first chapter.

AN- Okay this has nothing to do with this story. And these AN's are exactly the same as in my other story, but I want to cover all bases. I've gotten a few request for a sequel to The Key Comes to Blue Bay Harbor. I may, and that's a very tentative may, write a sequel. But it won't be until after the Angel series finale. I also might put it off till I read the Buffy book, Chosen, which is for those of you who don't know, the last season of Buffy in a book. But again I may not even write a sequel, it especially depends on whether or not I'm happy with the Angel series finale. I'm posting this in both of my current stories just so all bases are covered. I'm also percolating a new Ninja Storm fan fic idea. I don't want to jinx it so I won't tell you what it's about, but the couples will remain Hunter/Cam and Blake/Tori. I might even get a bug up my butt and add some Dustin/Marah and Shane/Someone. But definitely H/C and B/T cause I'm a seriously sappy romantic, who is fiercely loyal once I pick my couples. I personally think it's rude of my brain to come up with ideas before I finish my other stories, but oh well. That's insomnia for you.

Alright notes pertaining to this story. I may not finish this as soon as I thought. Mainly because more ideas for it popped into my mind. However it probably won't be finished until Angel has aired it's final episode so I'll know if I want to involve those characters. But this story will be finished.

While you're here, does anyone actually read these? Author's Notes I mean. I didn't used to, but when I started writing fan fiction myself I realized there might be something important in these. Any way, just wanted to ask. I can't seem to write an AN less than 8 lines long. I'm a babbler. So, yeah.J

Truly Seeing

Chapter 3

"You know, PMS explains a lot about Cam." Shane's voice came from the back of Tori's van. The boy Rangers and Sensei all turned to look at him, Hunter and Sensei glaring slightly, but recognizing the truth in the statement. Tori, who was driving, glared at Shane in the rearview mirror. Marah and Kapri, not being used to be around the Rangers, but wanting to go after their 'cousin', for once sat demurely in the back of the van.

"Excuse me?" Tori asked, indignant on behalf of PMS-ing females everywhere.

"I'm just saying." Shane shrugged uncomfortably. "Cam could be kinda bipolar at times."

"PMS equals bipolar?" Tori asked dangerously.

"So what is our course of action once we find Cam?" Dustin asked, quickly changing the subject before Tori pulled over to the side of the road and kicked Shane's ass.

"We take her home." Hunter said.

"Bro, I know you love Cam and all, but have you stopped to think maybe she is home?" Blake asked. "I mean she is with her sister, the one who raised her."

Hunter sighed.

"Look I just want her in my life." he said. "I'm not just going to let her shut us out of her life cause she thinks she's protecting us. Especially not now that I can have a life."

"So we remind her that we're her family, too." Marah nodded, speaking up for the first time the entire ride.

"We remind Cam that we love him- I mean her- and she can't get rid of us." Kapri added.

Al the rangers nodded in agreement.

"How long 'till we're there?" Hunter asked, the anticipation getting to him.

"Let's see." Tori said calmly, as if talking to a child. "When you asked two minutes ago, it was 4:30. I told you we would be there in half an hour. Can you do the math?"

Blake snickered from his seat next to Tori. Hunter hit him.

"Buffy?" a distinctly British voice called out from the front of the house. "Dawn?"

"Giles!" Buffy and Cam excitedly called out, jumping up from their seats on the couch, and rushing through the house to the man who had become their surrogate father. Giles just managed to put his bags down before he was glomped(1) by two gleeful young women. Giles hugged them back, but as usual hid how pleased he was at these girls obvious affection for him. The girls drew back.

"How'd your Slayer finding mission go?" Buffy asked.

"Well. We found two new Slayers. They'll be coming for training in a few weeks. We just have to work out some final details with their parents." Giles explained then turned to his youngest 'daughter'. "But Dawn! I didn't expect to see your car in the drive way. When did you get back? I thought you were helping your father defeat your uncle, or something that sounded like it should be in a soap opera."

"We defeated our uncle." Cam said smiling at Giles description. "I finished what I set out to do, so I decided it was time to come home."

"Yeah, that's the cliff notes version." Buffy rolled her eyes. "Basically she ran away. See? She really is a Summers. Running away from emotional problems but facing life threatening situations head on."

"Obviously I missed something." Giles concluded.

"Come on." Cam said taking hold of Giles' arm, and leading him back toward the kitchen. "I'll tell you all about over a cup of tea. Maybe you can help. It's not like anything stays secret around here anyways."

Thirty minutes later Giles was completely filled in on all that had happened since his last update on Cam's life.

"I agree with Buffy." Giles said. "You need to talk to your father and the other Rangers. Especially this Hunter Bradley. Though I swear, the way the Summers women always fall for the 'dangerous' guys."

"What do you mean?" Buffy asked.

"You and Angel? Spike? You have to admit you have a tendency to go for the 'bad boys'." Giles explained.

"Hunter is not dangerous." Cam disagreed.

"No. He was just one of the bad guys the first time you met him. In fact, the first time you met him he was holding you hostage. Then he kidnapped your father and tried to kill him." Giles pointed out. Buffy and Cam looked at each other, and finally shrugged. Looking back at Giles Cam finally spoke.

"Alright so you have a point." Cam conceded. "But all those 'bad' guys are good guys now."

Before Giles could respond the doorbell rang. Buffy got up from the table and headed towards the door. Checking the peephole Buffy pulled back, a slightly alarmed look on her face. Opening the door, she took a good look at the eight people standing on her doorstep.

"Dawnie." Buffy called back over her shoulder, forgetting to call her sister Cam in her shock. "I think it's for you."

Cam and Giles came into the hallway. Once they were in sight of the door Cam paused, her face mirroring Buffy's.

"Dad." Cam said, her shock showing in her voice. "Guys."

"Your letter." Sensei said, holding up the piece of paper. Sure enough Cam could make out her hand writing. "It said I could visit at anytime."

"Yes." Cam said, her eyes losing some of their roundness, and moving to Buffy's side. "Yes, I did. And I meant it. Come in."

Everyone went in to the living room, Marah, Kapri, and Tori sitting down on the couch, Dustin at Marah's side, Blake at Tori's. Hunter stood next to his brother and Sensei and Shane sat in chairs. Buffy, Cam and Giles, stood uncertainly before them. Giles gaze locked on the blond Crimson Ranger.

"You must be Hunter Bradley." Giles said nodding to him.

"How'd you know?" Hunter's low voice asked.

"I know my girls." Giles answered cryptically. It was easy for him to figure out which of these young men Cam had lost her heart to. The blond man, despite his fair coloring, still managed to be dark and brooding. Just the sort of guy the Summers girls couldn't seem to get away from. Though with the intense, but gentle way Hunter was staring solely at Cam, Giles felt Cam might just get a happy ending.

"This is Giles. Rupert Giles. And Buffy, my sister." Cam announced motioning to the Watcher and her sister. Then she pointed as she introduced everyone else. "This is Dustin Brooks, Marah and Kapri, our 'cousins', Tori Hanson, Blake and Hunter Bradley, our father Konoi Watanabe, and Shane Clarke."

Silence fell over the room. Finally Tori let out a little giggle. Standing, she walked over to Cam and hugged her. Cam hugged her back somewhat startled.

"Now I don't have to feel bad about always going to you with my girl talk." Tori smiled. Cam let out an amused breath. Tori lightly punched Cam in the shoulder. "I know you think we're gonna be mad at you for not telling us you were a girl. But we're not. Sensei explained it all. We are mad however you just took off like that."

"I'm sorry." And Cam genuinely was. Shane stood up, and walked over to Cam, putting an arm over her shoulder, and squeezing in a half hug. Dustin joined them, putting his hand on Cam's other shoulder.

"Just don't do it again." Shane mock threatened.

"Yeah." Dustin agreed. "Just because we're not Rangers any more doesn't mean we're not family anymore."

"You can't get rid of us that easily." Blake offered her a smile from across the room.

"We stick by the people we care about." Hunter spoke up in a soft voice, no one missing all the meanings behind that statement. Silence fell over the room as, startled, Cam finally met Hunter eyes and the two just looked at each other for a minute. Every one else in the room smiled knowingly, even Buffy and Giles, who also let out relieved breaths, happy that it looked like Cam would not be further hurt by this situation.

"Hey, at least she ran away to home. I wasn't that accommodating(2)." Buffy broke the silence.

"You ran away before?" Sensei asked, surprised.

"Yeah. Apparently it's a genetic thing." Buffy shrugged. Looking at Hunter, who was still staring fixedly at her sister, Buffy guessed he wanted to talk to Cam and preferably alone. Buffy also grudgingly admitted to herself that she had to talk with her father. Besides, she wanted to get to know these people who meant so much to her baby sister. "Do you guys have a place to stay?"

"We actually didn't think that far ahead." Sensei admitted. "We took so long packing, we forgot to take care of lodging."

"Well, you'll all have to stay here. You'll have to share rooms, but it'll be fun to have a full house again." Buffy offered smiling then turned to Marah and Kapri, "Besides, I have to get to know these new cousins of mine."

"We used to be evil." Kapri admitted somewhat guiltily.

"Well then you'll fit in wonderfully around here." Giles said. Buffy nodded.

"We deal a lot in reformed bad guys." Buffy agreed. "Go get your stuff, and we'll fix you up some rooms. Then we can go have dinner."

"Food!" Shane said.

"This family is just full of great ideas!" Dustin added.

End Chapter 3

AN- Okay, I actually wrote a few pages of this story while on vacation, however they were for future chapters. That's why this took so long getting out. I apologize for the delay.

1- I don't know how many people know this terminology, so I'll explain. Glomping is done in Anime, another passion of mine. Glomping is like a hug attack. Basically hugging someone very enthusiastically. Or at least that's the context I'm using it in.

2- I'm not sure if it was at the end of the second or third season, but after Buffy had to kill Angelus, she ran away from home. To L.A. I think, and starting going by her middle name Anne. Just for those of you who don't know.
