Xander was trying to make his brain work which right now wasn't going that well. He was kissing Cordelia. This has to stop… eventually. Xander breaks them apart as they both come up for breathe panting. "We gotta get out of here."

"Uh huh." Cordy nodded weakly in agreement as they both ran up the steps.

Xander looked at her. "Why did you follow me anyway?"

Cordelia shrugged she's honestly wondering that. "I guess I was concerned about you considering Willow of all people called me… then bugs and bullets."

Xander gathered his supplies good thing Bug boy never found the assault rifle wrapped in a blanket. "Yeah well next time don't let someone in especially invited."

"It was early in the morning, AND HE LOOKED NORMAL!" Cordy shouted.

Xander rolled his eyes as he loaded up his truck. "What! He's supposed to have the word assassin written on his head?"

Cordy looked at him livid. "I hate you! Should have let the bugs eat you!"

"I hate you more!" Xander replied as they both grabbed each other and kissed again before breaking apart. "OK, I'll drop this stuff off at my apartment then I'll meet you at school."

"I don't want to go anywhere alone especially with guys that turn into bugs and are bulletproof." Cordy added causing Xander to hold his head.

Xander looked at her for a moment before regaining his focus. "OK fine, but follow me in your car."

"OK" Cordy got in her car and Xander got in his truck swearing he's going to decapitate Jasmine if she ever comes down to earth.

Xander opened the door to his apartment he could use a change of clothes while he's here. "Welcome to casa de Xander… don't touch anything." Xander grabbed a shirt and pants and went into the bedroom unloading his guns. He will find a situation to use that carbine if it kills him.

Cordelia looked around and saw a variety of normal shirts as opposed to the usual Hawaiian nightmares. "When did you grow up?"

"Halloween, since I don't live with my parents I have no need for clothes that just scream dear god look at that shirt and not anywhere near him." Xander answered.

Cordy looked at a list stuck to the fridge via magnet and a couple of names are crossed off and a couple of these are familiar from her own family parties. But it still seems like a bad idea for him, even if he has evolved to wine. "Hey dweeb given your families past I think you're the last person that should be messing with the sauce."

Xander looked at her coming out the door who would have thought she could be this caring this early. He also sees what she means looking at the fridge. "It's kind of a birthday idea I have going. Believe me I have no intentions of following in Tony's footsteps."

Xander went to his drawer and banged on it twice with his fist before he kicked it once it as Cordy heard something unlock as he went into the second shelf and Cordelia's eyes widened seeing a pile of money as Xander took some of it for the day.

"Where did you get all that?" Cordy asked.

Xander looked at her. "Angel taught me a couple tricks for quick cash, it's nothing illegal. So lets go to school I still have that cop assembly to get to...yay."

Xander walked in with the group and saw Buffy standing by and Willow next to Oz.

Xander looked at the slayer whom wasn't all that happy. "You got the cop thing too huh detective?" He let out a quiet smirk until Buffy popped him in the arm with a light punch. Xander looked her with a tough face before he held his arm and whimpered in a low tone. "Ow"

Xander watched as the red head grabbed the clipboard and here we go.

"Alright, listen up," Patrice ordered. "And answer when I call your name. Buffy
Summers."

Buffy raises her hand. Patrice calmly puts the clipboard back down. Quickly she draws her gun and aims it at Buffy. Buffy reacts in a flash and pushes the recruiter's hands and weapon up into the air as the first round goes off. Panic sets in throughout the hall, and people start to run and duck for cover Xander stands there waiting for an opening. Buffy keeps struggling with the officer, and another round goes into the ceiling. She knees her in the gut, and she drops the gun and falls to the floor. Buffy starts to run as Patrice gets to her knees and pulls out her backup gun. Another bullet flies at Buffy as she dives over a table. She stands up again and looks around at everyone.

Patrice was taken by surprise when Xander grabbed her arm and bent it at an unnatural angle forcing her hand to drop her gun as Xander flipped her to the floor as Buffy's eyes widened. He's really been working on his fighting prowess.

Kendra came out and saw the scene. "Is everyone OK?"

Patrice took the opportunity and with a bit of agility kicked Xander in the gut knocking him down momentarily as she shot to her feet and was quickly greeted by a two slayer assault. Buffy kicked her in the face and Kendra kicked her in the stomach knocking her back to the floor. Patrice got to her feet knife in hand seeing the two slayers ready for a fight and Xander pulling out a knife of his own as he got to his feet. Patrice quickly moved to the left and grabbed Jonathan holding the teenager with a knife across his throat. The three watch as she slowly backs up for the door before she drops him and flees with Kendra giving chase.

Xander put his hand out and helped Jonathan up as Buffy looked to Oz and Willow no bullet this time.

Jonathan looked at what is likely his best friend in school. "I take it that wasn't part of the demonstration?"

"No, that was an assassin using you as meet shield. We live in a messed up neighborhood. Are you alright?" Xander answered.

Jonathan weakly nodded his head their lives are really messed up. "I'm fine. So any luck with that thing you got earlier?"

"No, someone stole it." Xander answered. "Now as fun as this was… I kind of screwed up earlier and need to make a phone call so excuse me."

Jonathan nodded and watched him leave. He took the assassin down how did he screw up?

Jenny was walking into her class she usually takes the period off but she usually went to the library to update Giles' digital library because she knows her Rupert never would. She opens the door into her classroom for a moment and sees Xander on the cell phone with one hand and a cigarette in the other. She shouldn't be listening in but she'll never get a better chance to see what's going on with the teenager.

"Come on Wes pick up your phone." Xander pleaded.

"Xander shouldn't you be in school right now?" Wes asked.

Xander rolled his eyes. "I am in school but I screwed up earlier."

"OK, Xander calm down, what happened."

Xander took a breath and inhaled a bit of smoke, damn you Snake for teaching him to deal with trauma like this. "Well I went to deal with something at Buffy's house by myself… but Cordy, she kind of showed up anyway and well I just Wes… I kissed her."

Wes took a moment he knows Xander is afraid but maybe this should happen. "Xander maybe it's for the best."

"What are you high?" Xander replied. "You know how that road goes? You tried to warn me about it."

Wes nodded on the other end knowing that fear of Jasmine was in him from the very first phone call. "But Xander you forget something very important. Her relationship with you was one of the things that put her on the path of becoming the good person she was."

Xander frowned yeah but it's not the only development. It led her to be Jasmine's vessel and he will scorch heaven and freeze hell to make sure that doesn't happen. "So now you think I should… hang on." Xander looked at the door but didn't see anything. "Wes you have no idea how confusing it is to be me right now."

"Yes well I imagine it's not easy."

"Not easy I'm cursed with screwed up images in my head that you'd never believe. I sleep so bad I'm probably the only person in Sunnydale on a steady prescription of hypnocil. My friends… hang on again." Xander heard something drop outside and went for the door but when he opened it he didn't see anything. He doesn't take any chances this time leaving class and started heading for the school parking lot. Once he saw he was clear again he continued. "This isn't not easy for me, this is hell!"

"So shouldn't you have something good in your life? While trying to undo all these horrible things? Especially considering all you have to do is ignore any feelings that might show up about Willow or tell Cordelia about it immediately." Wes asked. He wants Xander to be happy considering he's given him a second chance with Fred. And after Cordy went through in LA he wants her to be too.

Xander stopped and thought that through for a moment. According to Whistler no one can alter his mind so maybe. "Yeah I guess... but I just don't know." Besides there's always her dumping him on V-day as embarrassing as that will be he won't summon the roofy spirit. "Thanks for listening to the madness inducing rant."

"What are friends for?" Wes asked.

Right now to keep him sane and while he has Wes on the phone. "Do you know a translator you wouldn't miss if something bad happened to him?"

Wes thought it through it's probably about that thing he's looking up. "Wolfram and Hart have a couple who free lance and worship Chaos. I can set up a meeting for the weekend if you wish."

"Yeah, I'll call you on Friday. Right now I need to know what's going on with Buffy. Bye."

Xander walked into the library not believing how that turned out but it did give him some perspective. Just ignore feelings for Willow or tell Cordy as soon as he does. It was so simple... on paper anyway. He comes into the library and sees his book that was stolen from his apartment. He sees it in Kendra's things. He turned to the slayer upset. "What the hell, you stole my book."

Kendra looked to the floor she was never used to talking to boys especially ones her own age. Giles looked at her with interest that she would steal a book and Xander for having a book that is actually worth stealing. "Y-y-yes sir. I was ordered by my watcher Mr. Zabuto to take de book with me when he found out it would be coming here."

Giles looked to Kendra. "You should have asked before stealing it. I'm sure Xander wouldn't have minded sharing."

"De book your friend has is De Compendium of Cervantes De Lecrek Mr. Giles sir." Kendra informed him and Xander glared at her watcher's pet.

Giles eyes widened with amazement as he turned to Xander. "That book has been considered lost for three centuries where on heavens did you find it?"

Xander looked around weakly seeing even Buffy and Willow's eyes are on him. "…Ebay. All I did was type in ancient knives and eventually that came up." This was actually the truth he didn't even know what the book was called. "Did I do something bad?"

Giles rolled his eyes in frustration. "Xander, Cervantes compendium is pretty much a list of the most powerful knives, daggers, and swords known in existence. A couple of them can even end the world."

"Well I didn't know that." Xander complained he's just desperately looking for something and he's not a watcher.

Giles nodded knowing the type of person Xander is. He might be a stubborn jackass but at the end of the day he is a fighter for good just like Giles himself is. Hell, it was him being a stubborn jackass that saved Buffy last year when everyone abandoned all hope. "All things considered I think it wise that we send this to London immediately."

"Alright, give me an address and I'll mail it to England one way priority. It should be safer in the mail since no one interrupted its journey to me." Xander assured them.

Giles wrote down the address to the council and handed it to Xander seeing his point. "Take care of that will you."

Xander nodded in agreement. "So what's Angel been up to?"

Buffy looked away and glared at Kendra. "He was trapped in a cage trying to help his ex. But he's missing now. We still have no idea why or how many assassins Spike has sent after me. Have you seen him anytime, might give us clues about who would want him?"

Xander thought on how to spin this maybe that will work since he inadvertently stopped Buffy from finding the crypt. "Last time I saw him he was helping me deal with a nest of vampires I ran into. He probably saved my life. It was weird though; they were rummaging the graveyard and came out with a gold cross."

Giles eyes widen at this. "Did the grave have a name?"

"Du Lac" Xander answered as Kendra and Giles' eyes rose as Giles went right for a particular book before pulling it out. He turned to Buffy "Did I say something wrong?"

Buffy just gave an innocent shrug he seemed to set off the vulcan alert though. Though she could still be in shock from finding out Angel saved Xander's life.

Giles put a book down in front of Xander. "Is this the cross that was stolen?"

Xander nodded. "Yeah that's it. What is it?"

Giles rubbed his eyes and read from the book. "The Du Lac cross used to restore a vampire back to health with a certain ritual. It requires the presence of the one whom sired her."

"You mean like Drusilla?" Willow asked as Giles nodded to confirm it to the young redhead.

Buffy eyes rose in fear. "You mean the one who made her."

Willow looked at her concerned. "Buffy what's wrong?"

"Angel" Buffy answered weakly. "He's Drusilla's sire."

Xander took a moment. "That guy got serious neck in his day… no offense."

"It wasn't him." Buffy assured him getting to her feet. "We just have to figure out how to save him."

Xander got to his feet hearing Giles and Willow talk about churches for the ritual. "I'll go mail that book in since there are already doughnuts here and I'm not particularly good with research no reason to have two problems at once."

Buffy nodded in agreement as he headed out.

Buffy walked out with Kendra planning to see the bartender they had talked to earlier. Buffy looked and saw Xander talking to Jonathan. She wondered what he's up to.

Kendra looked at her. "Do you want to know what tey are saying?"

"Can you do that?" Buffy asked. "Because I'm flashing back to the crossbow through the lamp."

"Sometimes, I usually use it to try to listen to other people in de world." Kendra answered.

Buffy nodded happy for the semblance of a normal life she has now that she knows her. "So what are they saying?"

Kendra looked at it but couldn't understand them. "I tink they're talking about... cocoa… I'm not used to American accents."

Buffy smiled and pulled her along. "Let's go slayer number 2."

Jonathan looked at Xander but his eyes drifted to the girl following Buffy.

Xander looked at him and rolled his eyes. "Jonathan, are you listening to a word I'm saying?"

"Take the book to Kinkos and have every page photo copied and then send it out to the address you gave me through priority fed ex… I got it." Jonathan assured him but looked back at the girl. "Who is that with Buffy?"

Xander looked at him and saw his eyes leading to Kendra. Who would have thought? "That's Kendra and I don't think she'll be staying in town long."

"Oh" Jonathan replied.

Xander looked at his friend's eyes still following the slayer. The best way to keep Kendra alive would be to keep an eye on her and maybe give her a life of her own. "You know I never really thank you for doing all this stuff do I?"

Jonathan shrugged he'll take it over being ignored like usual. "You're my friend Xander probably the only one I have here."

Xander looked at him, damn, why not just hold up a sign that says so alone. "Alright, I'll try to convince her to stay it shouldn't be that hard but in the meantime. Please take care of that book and have it copied for me. given how Giles reacted if it's not in this book then I'm probably not going to find it ot it's just not real."

Jonathan nodded and the two quickly went their own way. Xander went home for his handgun he should be able to get there and follow Buffy to the church by the time she's done with Willy.

Jenny sat at her home that night knowing Rupert was busy when his car was there when she left. She didn't get much from Xander on the phone mostly because he knew she was there. But she did learn enough to know that he and Cordelia have finally moved onto kissing going through their slap, slap, kiss phase, poor Willow. But more importantly he is taking something called Hypnocil which is very concerning for her since she nor the school nurse had never even heard of it. She did as she always did and decided to search online once she got home.

She searches and it takes her to a food and drug database and she clicks on the one result seeing a picture and a brief description of the drug.

Hypnocil: FDA CLASSIFICATION: Experimental Effective for management of psychotic disorders. For sedation where dreamless sleep is considered optional: suppressions of night terror. Warning: side effects , may bring addiction, hallucination, increase of blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke or death if not properly use. Do not give to children under the age 13 years old or to women that may be or become pregnant.

Jenny looked at it. The drug isn't even approved by the FDA. Well now she knows why Xander isn't screaming when he wakes up in class anymore. He's figured out a way to cut off dreams. But she has to figure out someway to talk to him about this. She gets why Xander's taking it so maybe it's a drug for soldiers dealing with PTSD. She looks up the drug and there's a couple trials all over world including LA but the main buyers seems to be a small neighborhood called Springwood in Cleveland, Ohio.

Interesting, but not exactly helpful.

Spike walked up to the alter seeing Angel and Drusilla tied together. "Eligor. I name thee. Bringer of war, poisoners, pariahs, grand obscenity." He turns back to the altar. Angel and Drusilla are both strapped together to a chain that hangs from the ceiling. Angel's right hand is tied to the chain above his head. "Eligor, wretched master of decay, bring your black medicine."

Drusilla smiled feeling it from the stars. "Black medicine, my snakeling kitty is coming."

Spike sets the censer down on the altar and picks up the Du Lac Cross with his gloved hand. "Come." He holds up the cross upside-down. "Restore your most
impious, murderous child."

"Murderous child." Drusilla repeated.

Spike grabs the downward-pointing tip of the cross with his other hand and yanks down, pulling out a dagger. He lays the rest of the cross back on the altar. "From the blood of the sire she is risen." He takes Drusilla's left hand and raises it to Angel's hand, and she clasps it. "From the blood of the sire, she shall rise again." With one swift stroke Spike stabs the blade through their hands. Angel screams in agony. A blindingly bright pink light emanates from their wounds. A pulse of energy spreads out, and then the light dies back down to a faint glimmer as Angel's strength begins to ebb from him into Drusilla. She droops backward, feeling Angel's energy flow into her.

Spike had a quiet smile seeing the ritual take hold, His dark savior will be whole again. "Right, then! Now we just let them come to a simmering boil, and remove to a low flame."

Willy barges through the door and strides into the nave with the vampires and assassin escorting Buffy close behind. "Its payday, pal. I got your Slayer."

Spike strides up the aisle angrily to meet him. "Are you tripping?! You bring her here?! Now?!"

"You said you wanted her." Willy complained.

Buffy sees Angel and Drusilla tied together at the altar as Spike fumed. "In the ground, pinhead! I wanted her dead."

Willy shook his head. "Now, that's not what I heard. Word was there was a bounty on her dead or alive."

"You heard wrong, Willy." Spike replied.

Buffy looked over and quietly whispered. "Angel."

Spike looked at her and smiled moving close to her. "Yeah. It bugs me, too, seeing him like that. Another five minutes, though, and Angel will be dead, so... I forebear. Don't feel too bad for Angel, though, he's got something you don't have."

"What's that?" Buffy asked ready to shove an entire church pew through Spike's heart.

Spike smirked he's going to enjoy this even if it's not by his hand. "Five minutes. Patrice!"

Patrice lets go of Buffy and draws her gun. Buffy struggles to get loose from the vampires holding her. Buffy blinks in panic as a gunshot is fired but when her eyes open she sees Patrice on the floor with a wound on her arm. Xander came in seeing everyone came in to see the slayer die. He came into the room and stood ready for a fight with a stake in his other hand. He took a breath of relief as the other door suddenly bursts open, and Kendra comes in doing a series of back flips, ending in a flying double kick, one foot to the back of each of the vampire's heads that were hlding Buffy. They fall to the floor, pushing Buffy into Spike and knocking him down. Kendra lands on her feet, ready to fight. She wastes no time running over to Spike as he gets up, meeting Buffy there to fight him.

Spike looked at the new girl. "Who the hell is this?!"

Kendra grabs him by the shirt.

Buffy smiled looking at this. "It's your lucky day, Spike."

"Two Slayers!" Kendra said as punched him.

"No waiting!" Buffy added as she hit him.

Spike falls but quickly gets up. Buffy breaks off to fight the flunky vampires with Willow, Giles and Cordelia, leaving Kendra to take care of Spike. The blond vampire ducks a roundhouse kick from her as a smile comes to his face. She's nowhere near as good as Buffy

Xander faces off with Patrice seeing the cop get to her feet. The assassin smiled he's hesitating on taking the shot pushes him into a wall and slams his hand into it forcing him to drop his gun. He grabs her in a struggled hold each trying for dominance. He knees her in the side before pushing her back. She extends her arms down, and a blade slides out from each sleeve… even with a wound like that on her arm.

Xander looked at her and just dropped the stake. "Oh... crap."

One of the vampires gets up from the floor next to them and starts to reach for Buffy when a bolt impales him. He falls and turns to ashes while Giles looks on from the door, still holding the crossbow. Xander and Patrice begin to fight hand-to-hand. Patrice thrusts one blade, then the other at him but he dodges one and catches the other arms and holds it up while he punches Patrice in the stomach and follows up with a headbutt to her face and sends her stumbling back into the wall.

Spike lands a punch on Kendra, knocking her down, and she scrambles to avoid his follow-up kick.

Buffy dodged a fist from one vampire and staked two more.

The other vampire Kendra knocked down during her entrance gets up as well, and Giles runs to engage him. He swings the crossbow at him, but the vampire grabs it, and they struggle over it. Giles swings at the vampire and hits him in the face. Willow jumps up onto his back and starts choking him with her arm. Cordelia grabbed the vampire's arms and pulled them backwards giving Giles a much easier opportunity as the watcher staked the vampire.

Buffy staked another vampire and saw Kendra being punched by Spike again. At this rate the vampire would have his hat trick. "Switch, this one's mine."

Kendra rolled over Buffy and went after the other vampires leaving Buffy alone with Spike.

Spike smiled in his game face he's been waiting for this one. "I'd rather be fightin' you anyway."

"Mutual" Buffy replied. She blocks his thrust, and then kicks him in the face and again in the gut. He doubles over and falls to the floor.

Patrice swung with the knife as it cut Xander across the arm as blood dripped down as a sudden burst of energy came to him. Patrice swung again as Xander moved and she buried her knife into the wall and Xander hit her with an open palm in the face forcing her to drop the knife in her left hand and leave it in the wall. Now he's getting somewhere. He tried to kick her in the head but Patrice got her arm up to block it and Xander quickly kicked her again this time in the side instead wobbling her.

Patrice swung with the knife in her other hand but Xander grabbed her with one hand and held it out before bringing down hos other elbow breaking Patrice's right arm and forcing her to drop the knife. Xander hit her with an elbow to the back of the head wobbling her to a bench pew. Xander stood and prayed he didn't screw up as he clobbered her across the face with a roundhouse kick knocking her onto a pew as all he heard were quiet groans of pain from his opponent whom didn't get up. "Whoa... I won..."

Buffy blocks a punch from Spike, and another, but then he punches her stomach and face. She blocks his next swing and holds his arm while she punches him twice in the face. She grabs his coat and pulls him around and throws him over several pews and into the wall. Behind another pew Willy gets up. Spike growls as he stands back up and sees Willy trying to sneak out of the church. He rushes over and grabs him by the back of the neck.

"Where are you going?"

Buffy seizes the opportunity to run to the altar and pull the dagger out of Angel and Drusilla's hands.

Willy looked at Spike nervously. "Now, there's a way in which this isn't my fault!"

"They tricked you." Spike finished.

Willy nodded. "Mm-hm! They were duplicitous!"

Spike glared at him. "Well, then I'll only kill you just this once." He goes for the bite.

Drusilla looked at him weakly. "Spike!"

Spike stops before biting Willy and looks over at her. He sees Buffy trying to untie them. He lets go of Willy and rushes over to the altar,Spike grabs Buffy and shoves her to the floor. He backhand punches her as she gets back up, knocking her down again. Willy wastes no time running out of the church.

Spike saw Xander coming stake in hand he was clearly focused on Drusilla for some reason not that it mattered. Spike easily grabbed a torch of the wall and threw it at the tapestry as Kendra pulled Xander back so he wouldn't get burned by the now burning building. Which was more then can be said about the unconscious Patrice.

Spike ran up and freed Drusilla from Angel as he picked her up and carried her down the isle.

Without Drusilla and with nothing to hold him up Angel collapsed to the floor. Buffy looked at Spike with eyes full of hatred. No one does this to her honey and lives. She grabs the censer from the altar. She swings it around her head by its chain a few times and launches it at Spike. It hits him in the back of the head, and he stumbles into the church organ.

"I'm good." Buffy quipped.

Xander watched as the organ crumbled under its own weight and crushed either Spike's legs or his spine. "You're really good." Buffy watches to her amazement as Xander supports Angel's right side and helps support the ensouled vampire as she does the left. OK she has to tell him this is getting weird. "Xander?"

Xander looked at her. "Yeah?"

Buffy looked at him as a million different thoughts enter her head. What happens if Xander finds out and just tosses Angel on the fire. She wouldn't be quick enough to stop him. "Thanks for helping."

"Of course" Xander replied walking in tandem with her and the vampire wondering how he got kidnapped in the first place. Angel likely watched his back against demons but wasn't ready for a slayer when Kendra blindsided him.

The next day Cordelia came into the library looking for a certain person she swapped spit with. She looked over and saw him doing pull ups on the book cage and looked at him as he finished up and hopped down.

Xander looked into her eyes. "What's up?"

Cordy looked at him as her mind rebooted come on focus. "I thought we should talk… about the unnatural thing we did yesterday."

Xander looked at her well easy come easy go. "Never happened?"

"Right just making sure you don't get any ideas." Cordy finished.

"You kissing me, in the ether never to be spoken of again." Xander finished.

Cordy went to walk away but Xander's words struck her. "Wait... what do you mean me kissing you?"

"You gotta be kidding me. You lunged at me as soon as we were in the basement." Xander replied.

"I might have started but you're the one who stuck his tongue down my throat." Cordy finished Xander was more into it then she was.

Xander took a breath relieved on one level. "You know what it's erased, never happened."

"Good" Cordy replied edging closer.

"Good!" Xander added.

"Good!" Cordy finished.

They stare into each other's eyes for a moment, and then grab each other in another mad, passionate kiss. Xander looked at it OK all he has to do is ignore Willow and he's been doing that for 12 years he can do this. With the way she kisses he's going to have to.

That afternoon Buffy walked Kendra to the cab she's going to miss the other slayer… somewhat.

"Tank you for de shirt; it was very generous of you."

Buffy looked over the other slayer. "Hey, it looks better on... well, me, but no worries. Now, when you get to the airport...

Kendra filled in on what Buffy had taught her. "I get on de plane with me ticket, and sit in a seat. Not de cargo hold."

"Very good." Buffy finished.

Kendra looked at her. "Dat is not traveling under cover."

Buffy shrugged. "Exactly. Relax! You earned it. Sit in your seat, you eat your peanuts, you watch the movie, well, unless it's about a dog or Chevy Chase."

Kendra smiled. "I'll remember." She opened the cab door but saw Xander running out. "Is someting wrong wit him?"

Buffy turned and saw Xander flagging them down. "Xander what's wrong and why are you running exactly?"

"They're alive." Xander weakly filled in and he has to cut down on the smoking. "Spike and Drusilla are still alive."

Kendra's eyes took a serious turn and Buffy looked at him with concerned eyes.

"Xander there's no way you can know that?" Buffy finished.

Xander looked at her. "I went back to make sure that cross was truly gone… and when I got there Drusilla was carrying Spike like a little baby. I hid in the shadows that woman looked downright scary at full power."

Kendra didn't say a word but closed the door if those two are still alive her work in Sunnydale isn't finished. "We should see your watcher."

Buffy nodded in agreement. That sounded like a plan.

Giles got out from his desk and walked into the main room of the library and to the two slayers. "Council has approved our request. With two members of the scourge of Europe in Sunnydale Kendra is to stay here indefinitely. I'm too look out for the both of you."

Kendra looked at the two. "Does dat mean I have to go to school?"

Buffy smiled and looked at the other slayer. She's actually excited to have another slayer here. "We'll get you through it. Now come on I'll show you what's actually edible on the lunch menu."

Giles smiled watching the two leave he'll sleep better knowing there are now two slayers instead of one even knowing he'll likely have to open his home to Kendra.

Author's Notes

Thanks for the Reviews

I always wanted to see more of Kendra. I was originally thinking of having it be her and Xander but changed my mind.
