I own nothing.
Xander narrarating flashback
Xander sat beside Raphael at the table in the center of the Magic Box. All of his friends. (and Enemy's) stood in front of the two immortals.
Buffy: Are you going to explain?
Xander sighed and nodded.
*Flashback*
Xander is being beaten up by a vampire.
I've always been the normal guy. And according to all of you I was only good for one thing
Xander on donut run.
Senior year was the one of the worst years of my life because of you. You push me out of the loop and you even try to lie to me about the apocalypse demons.
Buffy and the others battling the sisterhood of Jhe.
All I ever wanted to do was protect you. And I've done it several times in the past. The first time in the master's lair.
Xander giving Buffy CPR.
My next big moment was when Buffy was in the hospital.

Then I fought a gang of Zombies the night of the Apocalypse demons. Stopped them from blowing up the school. With all of you going with it.
Xander and Jack O'Toole in the school boiler room.
But no matter what I did it was never enough. I never wanted credit. I only wanted acceptance. And the only way I got that was by staying out of the action. I couldn't do that.
Show Xander fighting with Buffy and the group at Graduation.
Just before graduation when we were moving all of Giles's books I found what I needed.
Show Xander reading a large tome.
I found the oath of the Immortal. Not long after that I went on my trip.
Xander saying goodbye to his friends.
I went into the mountains and found a place that would work for what i had to do.
Xander backpacking.
I made the sword with my bare hands. Took me about twenty tries but I finally got it perfect.
Show Xander hammering a long red blade.
By the sword I swore that I would protect you. All of you. And that I would destroy every demon on the face of the planet before i rested.
Xander practicing a kata with his newly formed katana.
In my dreams I'm taught by Yashiro. My mentor. A former immortal who passes on his knowledge. He did the same for Raphe.
Show Xander sitting crosslegged in a grassy clearing. Yashiro standing in front of him talking.
I've become an immortal. I've become what I always wanted to be. I'm a protector.
*End Flashback*
The group stared silently at Xander.
Buffy: How could you?! Do you know what its like to fight everyday?!
Xander stands up.
Xander: Get a clue Buff. We all know what the hell its like. WE DO IT TO!
Xander puncuated each word with a fist to the table. Everyone was suprised when the hardwood table broke. Xander didn't apologies as he continued to glare at Buffy.
Xander: We've all been here with you since the beginning. Grow the hell up Buffy. We fight just as much as you do. If it weren't for us you wouldn't be here right now. So stop thinking your all alone in this shit. We're all here to. The only difference is we chose to help you. We chose to fight. And if anything that puts us above you slayer.
No one said anything. Not even Riley or Angel went to Buffy's defense. Xander was simply right. There was no way around that.
Giles: Why didn't you inform us of your position Xander?
Xander looked at Giles like he was stupid then motioned to Buffy. Giles simply nodded.
Giles: Yes. I suppose thats a good reason. However I am inclined to agree with her. Do you really know what you did Xander.
To everyone's suprise Angel chuckled.
Angel: Believe me Giles. He knows exactly what he's doing. Name one time he's run out on you.
The group stayed silent.
Angel: Name one time anyone of you were in danger that he ran away.
Again not a voice was spoken.
Angel: If there's one thing I respect about you Xander its your heart. And the fact that I know you would die for damn near anybody.
Xander walked over and stood beside Xander. Then looked at the group.
Angel: Even if you didn't need his protection. Which he's proved time and again you do. He would have still done this. Its White Knight syndrom.
Angel added the last part with a smirk. Giles wiped his glasses.
Giles: I take it you've seen these acts first hand?
Angel nodded.
Angel: Two of them. And I've heard about one more. There's really no telling how many time's he's saved one or all of you.
Xander silently thanked Angel.
Spike: You go droopy. Don't let the slayer boss you around.
Everyone: Shut up Spike!
Spike rolled his eyes and took a drag off his cigarette.
Spike: Fine. Just trying to help.
Spike leaned back against the wall. Willow finally spoke up.
Willow: I'm sorry.
Xander looked at her. That wasn't what he thought he would hear.
Willow: I'm sorry I wasn't a good friend. I knew what we were doing was hurting you. But I didn't say anything.
Xander just nodded. Raphael thought it was time to take up for him immortal friend.
Raphael: If anyone of you doubt Xander's ability then you didn't see the fight I saw. He took out a very old very powerful demon. A demon not even Angel could beat.
The gang stared at Xander in a new light. Goodwin put his arm around Xander's shoulders.
Goodwin: Beside's its pretty cool having someone that looks my age around. We can club hop forever.
Xander closed his eyes and sighed goodnaturedly. The rest of the group chuckled.
Raphael: Look this conversation will have to be postponed. We have a much larger problem coming our way. Mallos.
Giles gasped.
Giles: Tell me your bloody well kidding?
Raphael shook his head as did Xander.
Xander: Fraid not G-Man. But don't worry. He isn't after any of you. You don't have to worry about Mallos.
Xander glared at Raphael for even bringing it up without talking to Xander.
Giles: Well just who... Oh.
Xander sighed again and shook his head.
Buffy: What Giles? Who is he after?
Giles sighed.
Giles: Xander. He's after Xander.
The scoobies looked at there long time friend. And for the first time in a long time. Xander wasn't smiling in the face of danger.
Okay people chapter 7 is over!! Yay! just kiddin'. Expect this to be a ten chapter fic. Maybe a little less maybe a little more. Who knows. Anyway review plz. Just a this fic sucks will be fine.
Regina: You will or have found out I can't write good fight scenes. But i'll try harder just for you.
Rob: Doesn't Xander always get bitched at? I thought he did. And this isn't the last of this conversation. Buffy will bring it up again.
Twice as nice: Thanks. I try my best.
Teri: As for the reason Xander won against Randall. It has nothing to do with skill Randall simply underestimated his opponent. I thought I hinted at this by the way Randall called him young and talked really cocky toward him. I'll explain it in the fic next chap. Keep reading.
I own nothing.
