Part Two
"You steal cars?" Buffy asked in total disbelief.
"That's so cool." Dawn was impressed. She walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table next to Buffy.
Buffy glared at Dawn. "Dawn!" She shouted.
Kiki smiled at Dawn but quickly stopped when she saw the look on Buffy's face.
Buffy wanted to get off of the subject of car-stealing. "So who's your Watcher?" She asked.
"My Watcher *was* a woman named Nazrin Poppit. But I don't really have a loving relationship with rules. In fact, we broke up. So I quit the Council, and now I'm living it up as a rogue Slayer," Kiki said.
"And stealing cars." Buffy added.
Kiki wasn't surprised at her remark. "I have to make money somehow. Vampires and demons don't pay me to kill them."
"I really should turn you in to the police, you know." Buffy said.
Kiki looked Buffy straight in the eye. "Yeah? Tell them to give me a nice jail cell. One with a view," she said.
"You know who you remind me of? Somebody I once stabbed. Her name's Faith. She liked to have a little fun, be naughty. No harm done. She ended up in jail. For murder. She's not getting out for a long time, if ever." Buffy told Kiki.
"I would *never* kill anyone," Kiki was serious. "Never."
Dawn chimed in. "That's a good sign, right? The not wanting to kill anyone?"
There was a long moment of awkward silence. None of them knew what to say.
Dawn was the first to speak. "Buffy, we should give Kiki a chance. Maybe let her stay the night?" She said.
"Yeah. I mean, if she wants to," Buffy agreed.
"Thanks," Kiki said quietly, "but if you don't want me to..."
"It's okay. It's just... I'm just adjusting to the whole being dead and coming back to life thing. Really. You can stay." Buffy assured her.
Kiki nodded. They were all silent again. Everything was changing in Sunnydale, whether they wanted to admit it or not.
You didn't think I was done with Kiki yet, did you? Stay tuned for more...
