"Miss Winters, I understand your concern, but I assure you the Watcher Council is being forward with all the information we have on Time Night," insisted Quentin Traverse as he sat high in his chair.
"Mr. Traverse, I didn't leave LA and fly all the way to London to hear you tell me you found nothing," declared Makoto annoyed with the head of the Watcher's council. "I left people that need me, to come here and get information that you yourself insisted I had to get. Merrick could have came and you could have told him the same thing you told me, which is nothing," she stated crossing her arms as she stood in the middle of the Watcher's Council's circle meeting room.
"Miss Winters, surely you can understand why we brought you here?" Mr. Kato, an African watcher said in sincerity.
"Not really," answered Makoto turning her attention to the other watcher's in the room. "Look I have been here for two days, so far, no one has given me any reason for having to come here, and if you don't give me a good reason by noon today, I'm leaving and going home," she declared, turning on her heels Makoto walked out of the Watcher's Council meeting room without a second thought to be polite.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
'All this way for nothing,' thought Makoto angrily sitting down on her hotel room bed. 'I had to come by myself, and leave Buffy unprotect all for nothing,'
A knock at her door caused her to snap out of her thoughts. Smoothing out her jeans Makoto made here way to the door. Who she found on the other side surprised her. She never expected to see her again.
"Rina," replied Makoto curiously to her cousin," to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" she asked moving aside to let the red head into her room. Rina and Makoto were the same age, and use to see each other frequently, however, when Makoto got called and Rina got hired by the watcher's council, their friendship changed. "Quentin, send you here for something?" she asked not hiding the fact she did not care for the head watch what so ever.
"He doesn't know I'm here," replied Rina giving her cousin a warm smile. She knew that Makoto and she had lost touch a long time ago, but she wanted to fix that, and this seemed to be the only option. "I have something for you," she explained reaching into the black bag she held in her hands.
"What?" questioned Makoto sitting down on her hotel chair.
"Do you remember, Grandmother's story about a sword called the Tetsiga?" asked Rina looking up at her cousin.
"The Tetsiga?" asked Makoto puzzled for a moment. "That named sounded familiar, but it had been a long time since she had heard any of her grandmother's tales.
"Yes, the sword of the First Slayer?" answered Rina," the sword that could kill 100 demons in one blow if the user knew how to use the wind scare behind it?" she reminded her cousin pulling out a silver sword with a golden handle. Inside of the handle was in beaded a ruby jewel.
"Is that the sword?" asked Makoto noticing the sword in her cousin's hands," but Grandmother said that it didn't exist," she said softly as she made her way over to where Rina held the sword in her hands.
"It does," said Rina holding the sword in both hands," I found it on one of my archeological digs in Africa, and instead of turning it over to the Watcher's Council I kept it and did studies on it to make sure that this was the sword of legend," she explained excitedly getting into her story.
"And?" prompted Makoto sitting down beside her cousin. If the sword Rina held was, in fact, the Tetsiga, Makoto knew that it would help her a lot. She remembered the legend behind it now. Only it's destine owner could control it's power. The Tetsiga was said to be made from the fang of a kind hearted wind demon long ago, and then given to the First Slayer to protect the innocent people, and good demons. However, the legend went on to say that the sword was destroyed in a big battle, and forever lost, and now here it sat in front of her.
"Makoto, it's real," confirmed Rina excitedly," and it now belongs to you," she added handing the sword to her cousin.
"Are you serious?" asked Makoto unable to believe she herself held the legacy sword in her hands.
"I am very serious," replied Rina smiling at her cousin's bright expression she wore. "I was the one who wanted you to come here, not Quentin, I convinced him that you should come here, so he could review your progress, while you were unaware of it," she explained.
"What, that jerk was grading me while I was talking?" demanded Makoto, her eyes however did not leave the sword for a minute.
"You past for the most part so don't worry," Rina insisted. "It was just a way for me to get you to come, and not have to explain to any of the Watcher's about my find. You know as well as I do that if they ever found out about the sword they would want it," Rina admitted sighing. "They're good people really they are," she said referring to her bosses," they just forget that Slayer's are human beings," she stated," and I forgot that too," she confessed sadly. "Mako, I'm sorry," she apologized clasping her hands.
"For what?" asked Makoto finally looking up at her cousin.
"For treating you like an weapon the minute you were called. I didn't mean to do it, and I know there's no excuse for what I did, but can you forgive me?" she asked hopefully.
Makoto sat on her bed a few moments thinking over what Rina and said today, and she knew that in the end she couldn't stay mad at her cousin forever, that just wasn't her. Plus, Rina gave her this sword, when she could have given it to the Watcher's Council and got high recombination for it.
"Thank you, Rina," replied Makoto kindly giving her cousin a friendly hug. Makoto forgave Rina for everything that had happen between the two of them in the past.

"Little Bit, bed time," said Spike sticking his head through his little sister's bedroom door.
"I'm not tired though," insisted Buffy giving her older brother a sweet smile as she continued coloring her picture of her and Makoto at the park.
"Well, Mom, says it's bed time," said Spike walking into his little sister's room and kneeled down beside her little white table she was coloring at. "I have time before I am meeting some friends for a late study session, so if you're really good and get into your bed right now, I'll read you 'The Princess and the Goblin' he promised naming one of Buffy's favorite old books.
"All of it?" baited Buffy knowing she had her older brother wrapped around her little figure.
"All of it," Spike agreed picking her up in his arms. "Now bed time," he said smiling at his giggling little sister as he placed her down on her bed.
Crawling under her covers, Buffy laid her little head on her big brother's shoulder as he began to tell a story about a Princess, a boy, a king, and a Goblin. It didn't take long for Buffy to drift off to dream land.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A loud scratching sound from outside her window awoke Buffy later that night. Rubbing her eyes Buffy noticed that her nightlight had burned out sometime in the middle of the night, and that shadows seemed to dance across her room towards her.
"Mommy," Buffy called out getting out of bed. "Mommy, are you at my door?" she asked when she heard a knocking sound.
Walking over to her bedroom door she opened in up to see nothing there, but a dark cloud.
'The house is on fire,' Buffy thought as her lesson about fire in school hit her. The black cloud had to be smoke. Shutting her door Buffy looked for a way to get a way from the smoke before the fire came, seeing her widow Buffy opened it up and was about to climb out of the roof, when her common sense came too, and she realized that no one had been screaming, surely if there was fire then her Mommy and Daddy, Riley and Spike would be screaming, trying to get to her. Not to mention, there was no fire trucks coming, like her teacher said there would be.
'What's going on,' Buffy asked herself moving away from the window to her door again.
When she opened the door this time the black cloud had vanished from her door and had moved down the stairs. Buffy had a strong feeling she shouldn't follow it, Makoto had told her to trust her instincts the other day, and right now her instincts were telling her to move away from the cloud. So carefully Buffy moved towards her parents' room which was away from the dark cloud. She had to tell her parents something was wrong. Quietly Buffy made her way to the door that was ten feet away from her, suddenly Buffy felt arms wrap around her, and before she could scream a hand covered her mouth. All went dark afterwards.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Coming too a little while later Buffy found herself in a bed of white covered up.
"Well look who's up?" a creep voice replied giving Buffy the chills.
"Who's there?" she asked looking around the black painted room. "You better come out or I'll," she threatened trying to make her voice stay calm, while inside she was very frightened.
"Or you'll what, Slayer?" the voice hissed causing the goose bumps on Buffy's arms to shoot up into her back.
"I'm not a Slayer," insisted Buffy. "I don't even know what a slayer is," she added looking around her room cautionously.
"You will be," the voice claimed floating threw that black painted walls.
"I'll be a what?" asked Buffy curiously looking around for any means of movements. "Look if you don't let me out, Mako, is going to kick you butt," she threaten grabbing onto her necklace she had worn to bed that night. It was the necklace Makoto had given her for her birthday.
"Ah, yes, the Current Slayer, hate to tell you this, Buffy, but Mako is in England as we speak," the voiced replied wickedly. "She doesn't even know you're gone," it added laughing horribly.
"Please let me go," Buffy begged pinching herself to make sure she wasn't having a nightmare. "Just let me go home," she insisted when she realized that this wasn't a nightmare.
"I can't Master, wants you," the voice replied seeping up from the floor tiles now.
"Why, why does he want me?" asked Buffy hopping up on the bed away from the floor that suddenly got colder.
"You really don't know who you are, do you?" the voice asked.
"I'm Buffy Anne Summers, who are you?" Buffy asked looking down at the floor where the voice seemed to be coming from.
"I'm a creature of the night, and you my dear are chosen to kill my kind," explained the voice. "Didn't our dear Makoto tell you?" is question sweetly.
"Tell me what?" demanded Buffy getting upset, and even more terrified. What could Makoto not have told her? Was Makoto hiding something, did she have a hidden agenda all along? These questions flew into Buffy's little seven year old mind left and right.
'No, Mako, wouldn't put me in danger like this, she wouldn't' Buffy's heart argued. 'She told me I was like her little sister, she cares about me,'
"She'll come for me," said Buffy simply," and when she does, you'll be sorry," she promised sitting back on the bed contemplating on ideas on how to get out of where ever she was.
"You'll be dead before she shows up, Slayer," the voice laughed as it started to fade away.
"Why do you keep calling me a Slayer?" Buffy demanded," and why to you refer to Makoto as the current Slayer?"
"Because my dear little Slayer, Makoto is the current slayer, she kills all the things that go bump in the night, and when she dies, you'll take her place, and my Master can't have that, he simply can't," the voice said before it totally faded away.
'I want to go home,' Buffy thought as tears started to fall. 'Mako, come get me,' she pleaded with whoever was listening that they would send Makoto to her. Buffy knew she needed answers about what the voice had said, and she had a feeling Makoto could answer them.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Have a safe trip," said Rina as she handed Makoto her last suitcase.
The two of them stood at the London airport, preparing to say good-bye. Makoto had taken a private plane owned by the Watcher's Council so she didn't have to worry about the sword getting through customs.
"I will, call sometime," insisted Makoto giving her cousin a hug," and come see me," she added pulling back.
"I will, kick some butt with that sword," said Rina in an under tone so the pilot could not hear her, and report back to the Council.
"Trust me I will," Makoto vowed," you may have just given me a way to make sure Buffy is safe," she told her cousin feeling weight falling off her shoulders as she though about how she could now use the sword to take Time Night on, and hopefully kill him. Then Buffy would be safe and she could breath a little bit easier, knowing the little girl who had turned her world into something brighter then it was before was safe.
"Miss Winters, phone call," the pilot said handing Makoto her cell phone.
"Hello," said Makoto in a happy voice.
"Mako, he has her," said Kit sounding really worried. "They have Buffy."
In that moment Makoto felt frozen on the spot, and everything stopped.
"What?" she asked barely able to get the one word out.
"Angel said that she wasn't at school today, and Mrs. Summers came by here earlier looking for her. Mako, Rem and I were watching her house all night, I don't get how Time Night could have gotten to her, but I betting he is the one who has her," Kit said dreading thoughts of what Time Night could be doing to that sweet little girl right now.
"I'm on my way," said Makoto scared out of her mind. Without even saying good-bye Makoto hung up the phone and ran towards the plane.
"Mako, what's wrong?" Rina asked worried at her cousin's reaction.
"They got her," Makoto replied hoping into the plane. "Hey, pilot guy, let's go," she said in a hurry.
'Oh no,' Rina thought to herself as she watched the plane take off, 'please, please whoever is listen protect that little girl.'
