The Immortals chapter 4
Xander and Raphael stood side by side leaning against the wall.
Raphael: Why haven't you told them?
Xander only shrugged.
Xander: Tell you later. Should we tell them about Mallos?
Raphael shook his head.
Raphael: First lets deal with Randall. You think your ready for that?
Xander shrugged.
Xander: I guess we'll find out.
Xander stopped talking as Angel walked over to them.
Angel: Why can't I beat Randall?
The question was directed to Raphael who answered like it was everyday knowledge.
Raphael: Randall is a powerful demon. Only certain weapons can kill him. I have one of those weapons.
Angel nodded excepting the answer.
Angel: One more question. What are you two hiding?
Xander and Raphael shrugged in unison. Angel glared for minute then relented.
Angel: Thanks.
Raphael nodded Xander did nothing. Angel turned away.
Raphael: Your staying with us.
Xander shrugged.
Xander: Yes master.
The sarcasm was very evident in his voice.
Raphael: Glad you know your role.
Xander turned and glared at the side of Raphael's face. Goodwin interrupted there conversation.
Goodwin: Lets get back to the bus Raphe. We have alot to do tomorrow.
Raphael nodded then got a look of thought.
Raphael: Goodwin stay close to Angel and Doyle. If something happens i'll find you.
Goodwin looked like he was going to cry.
Goodwin: Fine.
Raphael and Xander stood off the wall and walked toward the door.
Giles: Excuse me. Where are you two going?
Xander and Raphael turned around.
Xander: To sleep G-Man. Goodwin will be staying with deadboy. Oh and Goodwin. If he looks at your neck. Dust him.
Goodwin nodded smiling while everyone else glared at Xander. Xander turned to leave stopping when he heard Angel's voice.
Angel: I need to find you a nick name. How about White Knight?
Xander turned and looked at Angel eye to eye.
Xander: You remember?
Angel nodded.
Angel: Everything.
Angel said this with sadness that almost made Xander feel sorry for him. Almost.
Xander: Good. Bye all.
Xander turned walking out of the store Raphael following him. Buffy turned and glared at Angel after the door shut.
Buffy: What the hell was that about?
Angel shrugged.
Angel: Not my story to tell. Besides if he wanted you to know it he would have told you himself.
Buffy glared at Angel for a few moments before relenting and sitting down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xander and Raphael stood facing eachother. Each warriors katana held in a forward defensive position slightly angled to each fighters side.
Raphael: Whenever your ready.
Xander nodded before lunging forward quickly faking to the right and spinning left as Raphael lunged forward Xander's sword barely missing Raphael's head as the older warrior ducked at the last second. Raphael brought his sword toward Xander's legs only to have Xander jump over the attack and shoulder roll a safe distance away.
Raphael: Good move.
Xander nodded as he moved his sword above his head the tip pointing at his opponent.
Xander: Thanks. Any pointers?
Raphael nodded as he jumped forward his sword moving in a side arc locking up with Xanders in a power struggle.
Raphael: You telegraph your moves. Try not moving your shoulder until the exact moment of attack.
Xander nodded stepping foward into Raphael spinning his katana between his thumb and fingers causing Raphael's sword to twist in his grip. Raphael spun with his sword bending forward away from Xander as the younger immortal spun right his sword grazing Raphael's back who completed his spin by dropping low and sweeping Xander's legs from under him. Spinning around in time to see Xander kick-up onto his feet and attack with a wide side arc strike. Raphael quickly blocked and countered with a spinning left leg sidekick knocking Xander back into a wall. Before Xander could react Raphael's sword was pointed at his chest.
Xander: Guess you win.
Raphael nodded as he put away his sword.
Raphael: Your alot better than I expected Xander.
Xander put his sword away and he and Raphael walked toward the exit.
Xander: Can we take Randall?
Raphael nodded.
Raphael: Always believe in yourself Xander. Self doubt leads to defeat. Yashiro taught me that.
Xander nodded in understanding.
Xander: Yeah well. I have alot to learn. And thanks for not telling anyone.
Raphael nodded.
Raphael: Not my secret to tell. Why haven't you told them already?
Xander shrugged.
Xander: They think of me as normal boy. Can I ask you a question?
Raphael nodded.
Xander: How do you go from the Zeppo to the Hero?
Raphael looked at Xander with a frown.
Raphael: That depends on the person.
Xander frowned.
Xander: Damn I hate the cryptic answers.
Raphael laughed.
Raphael: Don't we all?
The immortal duo walked out of the abandoned warehouse. Unaware of the blond vampire that had been watching the entire show.
