I don't own

Chapter Three: The witch

After dinner with Vlad's parents he helped Kagome move into Giles place. The spare room was his office and by the time she got there he was trying to clean it up. So since there was no bed yet Kagome said that she will be fine sleeping on the couch but Giles, wanting to be a good father, said that she could sleep in his bed while he sleeps on the couch. This led to a standoff but in the end Kagome won. The next day Kagome woke up and saw that Giles had left a note saying that he left for work and will be back around 4:00. He also left some money in case she gets hungry. She looked around wondering what to do. She wanted to help Buffy and the others with what's happening at the school but she decided to do that after school. So she looked around the apartment and saw that her father was a neat man with a lot of books. Well there's another thing that they have in common they both fight demons and they both like to read history books. Hearing her stomach growling she decided to make herself something to eat. When she opened the fridge she understood why he gave her money for food. There was nothing in the fridge. So she went out to a little restaurant that was closes by to eat and after that she decided to go shopping for some food. When she got back it was close to lunch time so she went ahead and made Giles some lunch since there was nothing for him to eat.

Kagome arrived just in time when Lunch started and she headed towards the Library.

"Kagome."

She turned around and saw Vlad heading her way.

"Hey Vlad." She smiled

"What brings you here again?" He asked

She smiled and holds up a bag with bento boxes that she made.

"I got board at the house and decided to make and bring lunch for my dad." She said

"You cook?" He asked

"You should try the food that I make sometimes." She teased

"I wouldn't mine." He smirked

Kagome blushed but it faded when she bumped into someone. When she did her powers sparked out a little. Kagome raised a brow. That only happens when she touches something with a dark aura and is trying to hurt her. She looked at the girl that she bumped into and the girls eyes widen in fear while walking around her and left. If that wasn't strange her aura felt like it was old.

"Who was that?" She asked

"Amy Madison. She's one of the few that's trying out for cheerleading. From what I heard her mother was head cheerleader when she went to this school here." He said

"Really." She said, still looking were Amy left.

Something was not right about that girl.

"Kagome, what are you doing here?" Giles said in surprise when she and Vlad came in the Library.

"Well I knew you didn't have lunch made so I did some shopping and made you some." Kagome said holding up the bento boxes. "I hope you like it."

"Kagome you didn't have to do this." Giles said as he took one and open it.

"Well I had to do something. I don't like being board." She pouted

Vlad smiled at her pouting face.

"Well since you're staying in Sunnydale maybe you could enroll here." Vlad said

"Maybe. I can I dad?" She asked Giles

"Mmm… I already talked to your mother about that and she said she's fine with that." Giles said after finishing his bite and then took another bite. "Just few a paper work and you'll have to take a test to see what level you are."

"Oh a test. Yay for me." She groaned and lightly banged her head on the table

"I took the same thing last year I could help you if you like." Vlad said

"Can you?" She asked

"I'm more than just an athlete and good looks." He teased

Giles gave him a death glare but continued eating. The meal she made him was really good.

"I'll get the books you'll need and then we'll steady." Vlad said after getting up and headed towards the book cases

"You'll be steadying where I can see you." Giles warned him

Kagome rolled her eyes and laughed.

The next day Kagome came back again with lunch for Giles and then studied with Vlad. Then the Buffy and the gang came in saying that another cheerleader name Cordelia got attack and this time whatever it was it blinded her.

"Witchcraft." Giles said "Blinding your enemy to disorient and disable them is—it's classic."

"Okay should we really have Cordelia's boyfriend hear listening to this?" Xander asked pointing at Vlad.

"Ex-boyfriend." Vlad glared

"Still, this is our private club." Xander said

"I know all about the Hellmouth and all the supernatural that happens here. You have to be blind to not see it." Vlad said "And I agree with Giles. Whoever is doing this is using dark magic."

"Why should someone want to harm Cordelia?" Giles asked

"Maybe because they met her?" Willow said "Did I say that?"

"And setting Amber ablaze?" Giles asked

"Those two never hang out." Vlad said

"But they're both cheerleaders right?" Kagome asked

"So someone doesn't like Cheerleading?" Giles asked

"Or likes it too much." Buffy said

"Amy." Willow said

"Amy Madison?" Kagome asked

"You know her?" Willow asked

"I bumped into her yesterday. My miko powers sparked a little when we touched. She had a dark energy around her and she looked afraid of me." Kagome explained

"Because those that are pure are the darkness natural enemy." Vlad said

"So we are going towards Amy." Xander said

"She's desperate to get on the team, and I've had this feeling she'd do just about anything to make her mom's dream come true." Buffy said

"Let me make sure I get this right." Giles said "This Witch is casting horrible and disfiguring spells so that she can become a cheerleader?"

"I think you're underestimating the amount of pressure a parent can lay on you." Buffy told him "If you're not a picture-prefect carbon copy, they tend to wig."

"Cheerleading was kind of her mom's last hurrah." Willow said

"Look, we still have to stop Amy." Xander butt in "We should grab her and…"

"I think we should be sure she's the witch before we arouse our suspicions." Giles said "She's capable of some very unpleasant things."

"Should I zap her a little and see if she'll fight back." Kagome joked

"Don't even joke about that Kagome." Giles narrowed his eyes

"Ok, all right, so you're in high school. You are desperate to make the team and please your mom, so you turn to Witchcraft. What's the first thing you're gonna do?" Buffy said

"Check out the books on witchcraft." Willow said

That got Xander all panicky and told them that that will be that last thing to do and tried to change the subject by saying that Buffy was in danger because was the first alternate. That's when Willow found out that Xander had checked out the witchcraft books because of the nude pictures. Kagome and Vlad had to hold back their laughs at Xanders embarrassment. Then Giles found something that will tell them if Amy is a witch by turning their skin blue. When they were about to leave Kagome gave Buffy a Sutra telling her that it will place a barrier around her in case something goes bad and Amy tries to cast a spell on her.

The next day the gang came back and this time something happened to Buffy. Putting her books down Kagome told them to her lay down and worked her powers on her. She noticed that she wasn't wearing the Sutra and Buffy said that her mother went through her clothes to clean and drew it away.

"We got to get her to the hospital!" Willow cried

"They won't be able to help her." Kagome said as she scanned Buffy to see where the damage was. "Okay everyone closed the blinds and door."

"What are you going to do?" Xander asked

"Heal her." She said and placed her hands above Buffy and they started to glow.

The spell was powerful but so was she and she wasn't going to give up without a fight. She pushed hard and she felt the spell has been broken. When she was done she almost fell but luckily Giles caught her.

"Are you alright?" He asked

"Yeah, it's been awhile since I had to do this." Kagome said

"Buffy are you okay?" Willow asked

"Yeah, thanks Kagome." Buffy said as she got up.

"That's what friends do. We help each other." Kagome said

Giles, Buffy and Kagome went to Amy's house to look for her spell book and when they got there they met her mom. That's when Kagome made the connection. Her soul and aura felt young while Amy's felt old. Amy's mom switched bodies with her so she could relived her glory days. So with the help from the real Amy they found her mom's spell book and went back to the school so they could reverse the spells and give Amy back her body. While they were doing the spell Kagome felt Amy's mom heading there way so she placed a barrier in the classroom. When Giles finished the spell the two switched back to their bodies. Amy's mom tried to attack them but when she tried to cast another spell Kagome blocked it with her powers and their powers collided. With all her strength Kagome pushed power and Amy's mom's power was weakening. Then out of nowhere another power clashed in the mix that was white and that's when she fell and disappeared when the powers surrounded her. She turned to look at who helped her but after using too much of her powers things were a little blurry and she blacked out.

The day after that Kagome went to visit Giles and the gang and then spotted Buffy with Amy.

"Hey guys." Kagome said

"Hey Kagome you feeling better?" Buffy asked

"Yeah, I just needed a good night sleep." Kagome said

"That's good." A male voice said

They turned and saw that it was Vlad.

"I was worried that something might have happened?" He said

She was about to say something but she was cut off.

"Hey Vlad. It's been a while." Cordelia said standing between the two. "So listen I was wondering since you're the star football player and I'm on the cheerleading squad that we should go out again."

"Sorry Cordelia but I don't think so. I kind of have plans already with someone else." Vlad said looking at Kagome.

Cordelia looked at Kagome with a glare and she looked like she had no idea what was going on. Then she scoffed and the left Vlad and the girls alone. Amy and Buffy smiled at the scene between Kagome and Vlad. They could tell that Vlad likes Kagome but it seems she doesn't know yet.

"I'll see you for another study lesson in the Library Kagome." Vlad said before heading to class.

"What was that about?" Kagome asked

"Oh Kagome, we got a lot to talk about." Buffy said holding back her laughter
