:::PART FIVE:::
Kennedy felt her head go up and down with every breath Willow took. She was lying with her head on Willow's chest and had her arm wrapped around her belly; her leg over Willow's legs. Willow's arm was wrapped around her and her other hand was playing with Kennedy's fingers.
"You erm... okay with everything?" Kennedy asked with a little concern in her voice wile she lifted her head to look into Willow's eyes. "Yes, totally okay, this is a nice slow past and all and besides I don't want to move a muscle. It feels good" Willow answered and Kennedy lowered her head again with a smile.
Hearing willow's heartbeat returning to it's almost normal rhythm had become the most important thing in the world. After their kisses and hugs they had crawled up the bed and were lying wrapped up against each other, both with a happy smile on their face.
Suddenly they heard the front door open and close with a loud smash. Within half a minute both Kennedy and Willow were downstairs and into the basement. "... I said get away from them now" Buffy said apparently directed to Eve.
"Buffy, what did Eve do?" Dawn asked. Kennedy and Willow were wondering the same, what the hell had gotten into Buffy?! "That's not Eve" Xander said with his mad face on. 'Not Eve?! What the hell' Kennedy though utterly confused. "Eve's dead" Buffy said. 'Okay, really confused now' Willow admitted to herself, Eve was after all standing right in front of her.
"I-I don't understand" Rona finally admitted wile all the SIT's got up and walked back. Eve stood up and looked at Buffy with a grin. "Oops! One more down. Oh, well, can't save 'em all, can ya, Buffy?" Eve said and turned around to face the other girls. "Thanks for the slumber party, girls. It's been real fun the last couple of nights. I learned a whole lot--"
"Shut up, and get out!" Buffy now shouted. Kennedy decided to try and get Willow out. She took her hand and begun to lead her upstairs. "Or you'll do what? I'll be sending a guest over to visit y'all later on tonight, after the sun goes down of course. Try and make him feel welcome before he rips y'all to pieces. Bye." Was the last they heard before 'Eve' disappeared into herself.
Andrew pushed his way past Kennedy and Willow who were now almost up. "I need to go wash up again" He stated. "I so could have done without that bit of info" Kennedy whispered into Willow's ear and Willow smiled a little until Buffy came back upstairs.
"Buffy what was that all about?" Willow asked, still clutching to Kennedy's hand. "We found Eve, dead in the hotel room." Buffy answered and walked past them to the kitchen and stood at the head of the table wile all the others gathered. They got though a long and confusing discussion which lead to nothing.
"Will, I'm sorry to ask, but--" Buffy said and Willow nodded. "I know, we need a barrier." She answered. "A major one. Something tells me this vampire doesn't need an invite to get into the house. Can you do it?" Buffy asked worried. "I'll try." Willow said small.
"Try?" Rona asked in shock. This set Kennedy off. "You heard her." She said and gave Rona a death glare. The only thing that Willow cared about was that Kennedy stood up for her against one of the other girls it was so sweet of her and it reminded her of Tara... Tara who had protected her from Anya... Lost in thought she hardly took in any of the conversation. Only when she felt a hand grabbing hers she woke up from the memory. "It's over" Kennedy told her.
When Willow looked around she noticed everyone else was gone. "How long was I out?" She asked a little panicked. "About a minute" Kennedy said. "Buffy and Xander left the room a wile ago and I told the others to go." Kennedy added. "Thank you" willow said grateful. "Any time" Kennedy answered.
"By the look on your face just then I guess you were thinking about Tara?" Kennedy asked. "Uh-huh" Willow answered, guilt, remorse and sadness dancing on her face. "It's really okay to think about her and to love her and morn her." Kennedy said, still kneeling next to Willow's chair. "I know... I was thinking about a wile ago.. Tara protected me from Anya... Anya wanted to force me to do magic to get us out of the house on Buffy's birthday and I couldn't and Tara stopped her." Willow said. Although she was sure Kennedy didn't get all of it, it was the only explanation she could offer. "What made you think about it?" Kennedy asked. "You, you standing up for me against the girls" Willow said with a smile. "You're such a silly girl" Kennedy said and leaped forward to kiss her.
