"Spike, when we get to Cairo, stay out of my way." Buffy demanded glaring
at Spike.

"Listen, Slayer," Spike grabbed her hand tightly. "I will do whatever I
like, whenever I like."

"I think Mr. Pointy might have something to say about that." She replied,
nodding towards her bad where the stake was safely hidden.

"You wouldn't stake me in the plane, Slayer."

"Try me, Spike." She replied, her eyes holding Spike's gaze intently "
And I would like my hand back."

"What Angel ever saw in a spoiled brat like you, Slayer is beyond me." He
smiled, knowing that Buffy still held a small flame for Angel, and Riley was
only a distraction.

"Bastard." Buffy spat in his face, as she retreated to the relative
safety of the bathroom.

"What can you tell me about our competitors, Katrina?" Lokenrah sniffed
her strawberry scented hair.

"Our competitors have great powers and resources on their side. One of
them is a Slayer with incredible powers at her disposal.' Katrina replied
quietly as if in a trancelike state.
.
"A Slayer...Kill the bitch Katrina, and bring me her eyes. I want to
vanquish the world from Slayers. The last Slayer took my eyes away from me."

"I can sense the other strangers here, but I can't see them. One of them
has powers, the power of sight which negates my own power. The Seer doesn't
have a concept of safety, she doesn't understand the danger here. Her
feelings for him are strong.

"Hmm, then bring the boy to me. Then you kill the one who's powers
rival your own." He whispered happily to his favorite childe.
