Chapter 2: Explaining Your Reason
"O.K., so let me get this straight. You're a half-breed demon, vampire, human thing, from a different world parallel to ours and it's called Htrae, and you're here to bring us there to fight an evil warlord called Sasseri who desires the power of the Black Dragon of which you have so he can destroy both worlds, correct?" Buffy exclaimed, pacing back and forth; contemplating this. Kai winced from where Giles was cleaning her wound.
"Yes."
"O.k., what!?" Xander exclaimed. He regarded Kai with his one eye skeptically.
"I say she's nuts Buffy!"
"I say she's cool." Dawn exclaimed.
"It's like one of the books I read in school, only cooler!" Kai sighed and shivered; she now was only in a slim undershirt as she had removed her armor so her wound could be tended to.
"Look, I'll explain it again." She took a big breath.
"Long ago, too long ago to remember, Earth and Htrae were side by side and they orbited around each other with the moon as their balance. People could travel back and forth between them through several magic portals that were called the portals of Kami, or the portals of god. The represented fire, water, wind, the earth, metal, and the spirit.
"But then a great war started when creatures from Htrae began to invade Earth. These creatures used to be humans but they had been tampered with by a force we still do not know today-
'So that's how vampire came to be, correct?"
"Yes, your quite right Buffy. But as I was saying, the war raged on and soon a great power known as the black dragon ended the fight by sealing most of the monsters in Htrae. However some remained on Earth and became, as you know, the first and had many off spring. Well, at the same time in Htrae an even worse war raged on because new creatures were being developed and gifted people like me were being converted and used as weapons or killed. But there was a prophecy. It said this;
In the darkness, the dragon waits.
To an innocent heart the dragon takes.
With pure blood and corrupting heart,
Everyone will die and be reborn for another start.
The Dragon goddess of Destruction."
"So you're this person in the prophecy? What does it have to do with me?"
"Please let me fin-ow!" Kai winced as Giles messed with a tender spot.
"Sorry."
"It's o.k. Anyway, a powerful sorcerer, Sasseri, became leader of the dark side; The Dark Army. The few good creatures and people who remained good formed their own army and we have been fighting for many years. Sadly, our numbers have dwindled and I have done all I possibly can for my clan. But then we heard of a great slayer on Earth that was lost to us, and her memories locked away." Kai looked up grinning slightly.
"That'd be you, Buffy."
"That's impossible! I was born from my mother." Kai shook her head.
"You were reborn slayer. Hell, you've kept being reborn since the split between Htrae and Earth!"
"So the slayer's an old granny." Spike, who had been listening quietly, commented.
"Shut up Spike." Giles straightened after he had finished securely tying the bandage.
"That should hold until you get some stitches." Kai shivered.
"That's even worse than a corpse.." she muttered. Spike smirked, his vampire abilities allowing him to pick it up.
"What the bloody 'ell is a corpse?" He asked, curiosity getting the best of him.
"It's a horrid creature that smells even worse than it looks." She made a face. "Sasseri sends them after me. It's what gave me the wound." She added bitterly.
"I take it he annoys you." Willow smiled. Kai nodded and sipped her coffee.
"He took something from me, and I plan to get it back."
"What was that?' asked Dawn, obviously enthralled in this whole thing. Kai looked up and smiled bitterly.
"My fiancé."
"You look only thirteen! How can you be engaged?" Xander exclaimed. Even he wasn't engaged..
"I'm two millennia and thirteen years old thank you very much!" She wrinkled up her nose and polished off her coffee. She stood and faltered falling to her knees holding her side.
"You shouldn't be up, whelp." Spike rolled his eyes at her stupidity. Xander helped her to sit and she fingered the top half of her armor.
"Guess I was careless." She slid the armor back on and attached the cape again. She looked at Buffy.
"What's your answer?"
"Who did he take?" Buffy asked.
"Touma." Buffy pondered this for a minute and sighed.
"I'll go."
"Good, we leave in the morning."
"Not until your better. You need all your strength form the sounds of it."
"But."
"Best not argue with Giles." Xander grinned.
"He wont give up." Willow answered. Kai grinned.
"Neither will I." She looked at Giles, and then decided otherwise.
"O.k. fine. Whatever, you win! Geez, don't give me that look, reminds me of my mum." she trailed off, clenching her fist.
"Well, let's all get rest then shall we? We'll discuss this further in the morning. Kai can have the couch."
"Thank you Giles." Kai got up and bowed a little unsteadily.
Each person went to bed that night with thoughts unyielding in their minds.
