The Immortals Chapter 9
I own nothing!!!!
Xander sat in the lotus position in front of a small stream. His breathing even. It had been two days since his spar with Raphael. He had to think things out. He couldn't kill Mallos even if he wanted to. Raphael's daughter's soul was at stake. And one thing Xander learned early is that every soul matters. He opened his eyes to see Yashiro.
Xander: What should I do?
Yashiro smiled slightly at Xander then shook his head.
Yashiro: I cannot tell you that. Only you know what you must do.
Xander sighed and lowered his head. Then started listing his options.
Xander: I could run. But Mallos has all the time in the world. He would kill my friends then come after me.
Yashiro nodded.
Xander: I could fight him. And if I won destroy him. But then Raphael wouldn't be able to find Kiyomi.
Yashiro nodded once again.
Xander: I have no choice. I just have to fight him. Be it win or lose.
Yashiro smiled at his newest protege.
Yashiro: When the time comes the answer will be clear to you.
Yashiro faded from view and Xander sat. Alone in the wilderness thinking. Thinking of how screwed up his life had gotten.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Raphael watched as Buffy and Angel fought eachother. They were good. No denying that. But they weren't good enough. Raphael though it best that they leave but he know they wouldn't. Loyalty was a big thing in this group.
Raphael: Thats enough. We've done all we can. Its up to Xander now.
Buffy and Angel lowered there swords. There breathing uneven and in gulps.
Buffy: This guy can't be that tough.
Raphael chuckled.
Raphael: You have no idea. He's been around for over four century's. He was trained just as I was. He's stronger than anything you've faced to this point.
Buffy looked at Raphael disbelieving.
Raphael: Vampires do not give up there souls williningly. Therefore they gain limited power. Mallos gave his soul freely. Therefore his strength will grow rapidly. He gets stronger everyday.
Giles who was quietly in the corner finally voiced his opinion.
Giles: He is right Buffy. A soul freely given has almost no limit to its power.
Buffy finally sighed in defeat.
Buffy: So all i'm going to do is be in the way?
Raphael only shrugged. He knew an answer would hurt the girl. And slayers needed there confidence.
Raphael: I don't know.
Buffy looked at him in agasperation.
Buffy: You don't know?!!!
Raphael only nodded.
Raphael: Do I look like a psychic?
Chuckling was heard at the door to the room the group turned to see a smiling Xander Harris.
Xander: All you need is a loop earing Raphe.
Raphael shook his head.
Raphael: He's close.
Xander nodded.
Xander: I know. Which is why i'm telling everyone here to leave.
The group looked at him with wide eye's. Buffy was about to speak but Xander raised his hand.
Xander: I'm not talking about leaving town. I'm just saying you need to stay away from Raphe and I until we clear this up. Just for a few days pretend I don't exist. It can't be that hard.
The group let the last comment slide. They didn't need a fight. Buffy shook her head.
Buffy: I'm staying.
The other's all voiced the same. Well all except Spike who simply chuckled and said.
Spike: I'm not going to miss a fight droops. Ruin my rep and all that.
Xander chuckled.
Xander: This isn't your fight.
Buffy smiled.
Buffy: And mine isn't yours.
Xander growled.
Xander: Sure turn that on me.
Buffy's smiled grew. She won She knew she had.
Buffy: Okay. We're staying.
Xander only sighed and sat down on the training room floor.
Xander: Why do I have to hang around the independent women?
Raphael chuckled.
Raphael: I was thinking the same thing. Sooner or later one of them are going to kill you.
Xander chuckled.
Xander: One's already tried.
Raphael pointed to Buffy quickly.
Xander: No but you would think so huh?
Buffy glared at the two men and stomped out of the room.
Buffy: Keep this up Harris and I'll feed you to the demon!
Xander chuckled as did everyone else in the room.
Raphael shook his head. Goodwin walked into the room.
Goodwin: You know Buffy's pissed. She's muttering kill Xander over and over. Oh hey Xand. Lets get a drink.
Xander shrugged.
Xander: What the hell. I'll even buy the first round.
Goodwin's smiled doubled in size and Doyle walked up to them.
Doyle: Extended invitation?
Xander chuckled.
Xander: I thought everyone was coming.
Doyle rubbed his hands together. Xander laughed as they walked out of the room.

Mallos and Vashista stepped out of the Farrari 355 and both sniffed the air.
Vashista: I like it here. It smells so ....Evil.
Mallos chuckled.
Mallos: It should. It is the Hellmouth afterall.
Both looked off a cliff onto the unsuspecting town below them.
Vashista: Think he's ready?
Mallos chuckled.
Mallos: Not a chance in hell.
Okay people thats chapter 9. One more chapter to go. Oh and expect this to be a fight in the open. I'm talking right in the middle of SunnyD. Maybe not. Just an Idea i have floating around in my head. Well till next time.
