"Buffy!" Angel shouted the again the minute light flooded the room. "Are you… what?" asked Angel when he saw the sight before him.

"Angel, what is it?" asked Makoto panicke filling her voice the minute she reached the small boy. "Where's Buffy?" she asked surprised at how her heart speed up at not seeing the little honey blonde next to Angel.

"There," replied Angel staring at Buffy in front of him.

"Buffy, are you…Wow!" Makoto said in disbelieve when she looked over to where Angel was pointing. What she saw amazed her, and frighten her at the same time.

There stood Buffy grasping two bows with her hands as if she had caught them. Turning around to face Makoto and Angel Buffy wore a shocked looked on her face as well.

"How did I do that?" Buffy asked herself looking down at the bows in her hands.

"Buffy," Makoto prompt walking over to the little girl, and kneeled down beside her. "What happen?" she asked, having a feeling she knew, but she needed Buffy to tell her anyway.

"I…I caught them," said Buffy softly looking up at Makoto with amazement in her little green eyes. "I don't know how…but I caught them," she said.

"I'm glad you did," said Makoto once she recovered her voice. "Angel face, can I ask you something?" she asked carefully taking the cross-bows out of Buffy's little hands.

"Yeah," answered Buffy looking at the black headed slayer. "What would you like to know?" she asked sitting in Makoto's lap once the slayer had put the bows up on a table near by.

"Have you ever been able to do what you just did before?" she carefully asked not wanting to scare the little girl in her lap.

"A couple of times," Buffy said truthfully," but I always thought it was because I am athletic. At least that's what my mother and father say," she explained pushing her blond hair behind her. "Why?" she asked curiously.

"Angel face, you know when you asked me to teach you to fight?" Makoto asked lightly deciding it was better to start teaching Buffy basic fighting skills, and see what happened from there.

"Yeah, can I learn?" asked Buffy excitedly. "I promise I'll do a really good job," she swore.

"When I take you home in an hour I'll talk to your parents about it, and if they say yes then I'll start training you, okay?" she gently asked.

"Yeah, Angel, did you here that?" asked Buffy happily looking over to her brown headed friend.

"Yeah, great," Angel said sounding anything but happy. 'She's mix up in the darkness somehow,' he thought to himself.

"Okay, well why don't I let you two play in the room next to this one, that is actually Angel's play room now, and in an hour I'll take you home. Then I'll talk to your parents," suggested Makoto standing up with Buffy in her arms.

"Sounds good," replied Buffy as Makoto put her down. "Angel, let's go play," she said running over to Angel and took his bigger hand into her little one.

"I'll meet you in there," promised Angel giving Buffy a reassuring smile. "I just have to ask Mako something," he explained.

"Okay," Buffy agreed before heading out of the room.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Angel?" prompt Makoto once Buffy was out of hearing range. "What is it, Slugger?" she asked concern.

Angel turned to look at Makoto with concern written clearly on his face," How is she involved?" he demanded. "How is someone as sweet and kind as Buffy involved in the darkness?" he asked firmly.

"I don't know yet," answered Makoto truthfully," but I promise, Slugger, I won't let anything happen to her or you," she swore giving Angel a hug.

"She doesn't deserve to be near any of the horrors the night hides," stated Angel returning Makoto's hug.

"No, she doesn't," Makoto agreed," but you don't either," she told him. "Now why don't you go play with Buffy, and I'll figure out what's going on, deal?" she asked giving him a brave smile.

"Deal," Angel said returning the smile before turning and heading into his new play room.

Makoto sigh before locking up the training room and headed into Rem's witch room.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Goddess Hecate, let us see,

Is it Buffy that Time Night truly seeks? " Rem chanted looking into the golden mirror.

White and blue spiral lights circled the mirror in front of Rem.

"What's going on?" whispered Makoto coming up beside Kit.

"She's checking to see if Buffy really is the one Time Night is looking for or if it is someone else that we should all be looking out for.

"Kit, she caught the two arrows rigged up in the training room set up to catch intruders," said Makoto in an undertone. "They didn't even leave a scratch on her," she added causing Kit to look at her.

"Is she a potential?" he asked drawing a conclusion.

"Mako," Rem said in a voice that caused Makoto and Kit to look at in her direction. "Look," she said indicating the mirror."

There in the mirror stood a teenage girl with honey blonde hair that fell in waves down her back. Her green eyes sparkled as her smile lite up her entire face. She looked to be about sixteen, and moved with the grace Makoto had only seen herself move with. This teenage girl was fighting three vampires, and it looked like she was wiping their butts.

"Come on," the teenage girl taunted. "You know very well you eat this late, you're going to heart burn," she taunted before running the stake through the blue headed girl vampire. "Get it?" she asked to the now pile of dust. "Heart burn?"

"Slayer," hissed a blond headed punk rocker coming up from behind the teenage girl.

"Yeah, that's me Buffy, the vampire slayer, and your dust," she said voice filled with confidence flipping over the punk and rammed her remaining stake through his back right into his heart.

The vampire turned to a cloud of dust causing Buffy to cough," No one appreciates my well thought out puns,:" she complained to herself before heading off into the night.

The image faded as Rem looked up at Makoto and Kit," She grows up to be a slayer," she said in a soft voice.

Makoto turned her looked down at her feet as sorrow for the little girl set in. She now knew for sure that sweet little Buffy was going to grown up to be a slayer, and the horrors Makoto faced on a daily basics would soon be hers. In that minute Makoto promised to keep Buffy safe for as long as she could. She was going to make sure Buffy was protected and had some sort of a normal life, before darkness pulled her into it's battle.

"Mako," asked Kit gently. "Are you okay?" he asked taking his love's hand into his.

"I'm going to kill Time Night before he gets a chance to get to Buffy," she vowed. "That I promise," she told her love and her best friend.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Mommy, Daddy, I'm home," Buffy said later that evening as Makoto and her walked into the Summers' house.

"Hey, Princess, did you have fun?" Mrs. Summers asked walking down the stairs to greet her little girl and the stranger who had brought her home. When Spike had told her he let Buffy go over to a new friend's house, she had been a little nervous at the thought of not knowing the friend's parent, but once Spike explained that it was the new friend Angel Buffy had been talking about, and how it was Angel's sister's friend that brought Buffy and Tellsha home saftly the other night Mrs. Summers had felt a little better.

Now that her little girl was home, she felt even better. Looking at the young girl beside her daughter Joyce Summers realized that Buffy adored this young woman just by the way Buffy was smiling. If Buffy liked her then this young woman had to be a really nice person.

"Hello, I'm Buffy's mother," Mrs. Summers said politely.

"Hi, I'm Makoto," replied Makoto politely.

"Mommy, Mako can fight really well, and you know how I wanted to take some defense class at the YMCA. Well if it's okay with you and Daddy Makoto said that she would teach me," said Buffy excitedly. "Can she, Mommy, please?" she pleaded.

"Let me talk to your father first, okay?" responded Mrs. Summers smiling down at her little girl full of energy.

"Okay," Buffy agreed.

"Now why don't you go wash up for dinner," Mrs. Summers said bending down to talk to her little girl.

"Okay, bye, Mako," Buffy said to the black headed slayer giving her a hug before running up the stairs to do as her mother had said.

"Thank you for bring her home," Mrs. Summers said turning her attention back to Makoto. "Do you babysite?" she asked as an idea came to her.

"Sometimes," replied Makoto not sure where this was heading but deciding to wait and see.

"Well I have a big art show for the next three weeks and my husband seems to have work piling up at his office. My two oldest sons are becoming quit busy after school. Buffy seems to like you, so I was wondering if you where interested in a babysitting job," Mrs. Summer asked the young woman in front of her.

"I would love too," replied Makoto figuring that baby-sitting Buffy would enable her to watch over her easier.

"Great, you can just bring her to your house after school tomorrow and either my husband, my sons, or I will pick her up no later then seven," Mrs. Summers said.

After getting Makoto's address, and letting Makoto know what she expected of a baby sitter for her little girl, Mrs. Summers said good-bye. Makoto walked out of the house and headed home glad that things weren't going to be completely difficult.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Master, what are we waiting for?" asked Lothos. "Let's go kill this little girl Buffy," he said handing his master his latest kill.

" Not now," Time Night grumbled. "She is now under the protection of the Slayer, getting to her is going to require careful planning," he pointed out.

"Hello, Master," a toothy grinning vampire said walking out of the darkness.

"Hello, my child," Time Night said smiling wickedly.

"What is it you wish of me?" he asked.

"I want you too..," Time Night started to say.
