'You're lucky today lover." Buffy stated. "Two Slayers."
"Oh, what a challenge." He mocked striding towards the two Slayers. Before Buffy knew it he was behind her gripping her neck tightly. He leaned down and whispered in her ear. "How will I ever get out of this one?" Buffy kicked his leg causing him to fall over and rushed towards Kendra.
"NOW!" She shouted towards Kendra. Kendra kicked the latch on the window and sunlight streamed in. Angelus immediately slid towards Willow and prevented Buffy from getting near her. Buffy looked doubtfully over at Willow looking as though she were trying to decide what to do.
"Buffy, come on!" Kendra called.
"What about Willow?"
"I tink we should come back for her later."
"I don't." She stated still looking over at Willow.
"dere's noting we can do now." She tugged on Buffy's arm and they ran into the daylight."
"That's the second time I've been tortured in a week." Buffy Stated gingerly applying an ice pack to her jaw.
"Yeah but Spike made it erotic."
"He did not." Buffy denied turning slightly pink. "Where'd you hear that?" She demanded of Xander who turned a sickly hue of red.
'I uh-" he muttered something under his breath. Buffy clenched her fists manifestly and Xander gulped visibly. "I read it in your diary." A rosy blush crept up on her cheeks and she shifted her eyes so she was looking at the watcher's Diaries and refused to look up.
"Buffy, I uh, think we should work on your weapons training after class today."
"Did I hear Weapons training?" Principal Snyder asked smugly walking into the room.
"Yeah- uh…weapons of knowledge." Buffy stammered looking for an escape.
"Weapons of knowledge?" He stated more of a question.
"Yeah." She laughed unnaturally. Snyder either didn't notice or chose to ignore that.
"Well it's good that Juvenile delinquents such as yourself are getting into the academics."
"Yeah, to learn will improve my chances will get me into college."
Snyder turned and strode purposefully out of the room leaving the quartet to bask in the uncomfortable silence.
"Any way's Buffy, why don't you go to History and I'll see you after class." Giles said.
"And I'll stay here with Kendra." Xander said hopefully.
"No, you'll come to biology." Buffy said in a commanding tone. "with me." She gave Xander's sleeve a tug and he tripped on the floor. "Smooth." Buffy said as they walked out of the door.
"yeah I am and so is the floor. You think Kendra would go out with me?"
"I don't think so. From what she's told me "she's not permitted to talk with boys."
"So that's a no." He stated dismally.
"Yeah, it's a no and what is it with you and Slayers?"
"I don't always have a thing for Slayers." Xander defended.
"Mr. Harris and Miss Summers would you mind telling the class what is so important that you're missing my very important lecture on the Boxer Rebellion?" Buffy blushed bright pink and looked down at the blank sheet that she had pulled out for the notes and started to scribble furiously. The bell rang dismissing the students and they headed to the library. Giles had pulled out all the weapons and laid them on the table. He was now however sword fighting with Kendra who was dodging every attack and fighting with amazing accuracy. Giles quickly tossed the sword to Buffy who caught it and started dodging Kendra's attacks. She soon grew bored and kicked Kendra. She responded with a hard blow to the jaw. Buffy ducked and kicked Kendra's feet out from underneath her.
'That's enough Buffy." Giles Commanded seizing her sword along with Kendra's. "you're working on weapons, not fighting moves."
"Though everybody knows she can use them." Kendra muttered under her breath. Buffy responded to that with a blow to the jaw. Kendra became angry and was about to jump Buffy when Xander intervened.
"Kendra, you need to calm down." He kept a firm (Or as firm as Xander can get) grip on her shoulders and gazed into her dark orbs. Her breathing became lighter and he kissed her. He didn't know why but he did. The kiss was soft and gentle, it felt like they weren't even touching. They pulled apart and Kendra blushed the same color of her shirt.
"I tank you sir." She said.
"Oh, that was so sweet." Buffy exclaimed. Giles rolled his eyes and slammed the sword down on the table. They all jumped.
"this isn't a romance! Angelus is loose and you're lollygagging with your romantic lives? Buffy's probably fighting the biggest war of her life seeing how this is her boyfriend-"
"Ex." All three of them corrected.
"Whatever. The point is you're not ready. Buffy, Angelus is an old and wise vampire and he will hurt you in any way."
"Your watcher's right." Agreed a voice from the doorway, Buffy whipped her head around.
"Spike?"
"Yeah Luv its me. That bloody poofter Grand Sire of mine beat me into a bloody pulp demanding information about your whereabouts. I told him he'd have to figure it out and he left."
"Did you ever think." Buffy asked carefully. "That Angel followed you here?" She asked fixing her gaze behind Spike.
"My you are clever lover." Angelus smirked striding purposefully into the room. Buffy searched for a weapon on the table and realized that Giles was guarding them. She slowly moved her hand behind her back and motioned for Giles to hand her a weapon. He slipped something in her hand and she pulled it out. A wooden cross was clutched tightly in her hand and she held it in her hand like it was her only defense.
"I wanted a sword Giles." She said dodging Angelus blows and responding with her own. She did a back hand spring towards the table and grabbed the sword. Kendra was fighting Angelus along with her and Xander had fled away from the scene. "You know," \She said sending a roundhouse his way. "There's a rule against violence." She dodged another one of his attacks and kicked his feet out from underneath him. "But I've never been one to follow the rules."
He stood up and the dance continued. Angelus grabbed a sword off the table and the duel began. Kendra jumped in the fight and swung her sword wildly forgetting her defense. And then it happened:
Angelus brought his sword down across Kendra's ribs and slashed open the skin. She collapsed in a heap and a pool of blood surrounded her. Buffy sank down and checked the pulse. It had completely stopped. She looked up maliciously searching for Angelus but he had disappeared.
"Freeze! Don't move." She turned around and found the cops not even ten feet away. "step away from the girl!"
