Morning in Cleveland.
The sun rises but she has already been up for hours. There is so much work to be done, she wonders sometimes if there will ever be enough hours in the day to accomplish every task.
She is practicing Tai Chi, remembering the first time Angel showed her the beautiful and complex movements. It helps her to clear her mind. It helps her get ready to face the day.
The door opens and a pretty brunette walks in. There is impatience in her mannerisms. "Buffy, I'm sorry to have disturbed you."
The blonde Slayer pauses her martial arts exercise and walks towards the girl, "It's fine Kennedy. What did you need?"
"It's this training schedule. I just don't feel like you're making very good use of.well, me."
Buffy sighed and smiled a little, "You want to teach a class?"
"More or less that was the point I was trying to get across." The young girl nods vigorously "I just thought, I could take the newbies.the ones who are really green. That'd free you up for."
"Advanced theory of demon slaying?" Buffy smiles "You're hired. Vamp Dusting 101 is all yours. Just make sure you don't scare any of them into quitting."
"I won't scare them anymore then absolutely necessary." Kennedy smiled happily "Thanks, I'll work up a curriculum and run it by you first thing tomorrow."
The young brunette turned and left the room, Buffy went back to the stance she'd been working on.
I am the wind, I am the grass, I am connected to the earth.I am.
"Spike.I love you."
"No you don't. But thanks for saying it."
Flames, fire, burning..
Buffy's eyes open and she falters slightly losing her stance. It had been two months, this wasn't getting easier, wasn't it supposed to be getting easier? She turns her eyes to the brilliant glare of the
sunrise. She can hardly stand to look at it without thinking of how the light had killed him. How he'd died for them, for her.
The door opens again, Kennedy once more. "The girls are ready to meet you."
Buffy nods, tearing her eyes away from the light. "Tell them that I'll be right there."
