Chapter 3
Returning and Going

A/N: Thanks to all who reviewed. I'd thank you all individually again but there are so many for you, which by the by I think is way cool and I appreciate it. And to show it I've added something to the story due to popular demand.

Sarai and Angel ended up falling asleep on the couch watching TV. Sarai was awoken by the sound of the phone ringing at about 4:30 am. "Hello" she answered groggily. "No, he's asleep can I take a message?...uh huh. WHAT? Really? Yes, of course right away" Sarai said to the person on the other end, getting more and more excited as the conversation went on. She threw the phone on the table and started shaking Angel "WAKE THE HELL UP!" she screamed.

"Huh what? what's wrong?" Angel asked nervously jumping up only to see a huge grin on his daughters face.

"Nothings, wrong. The hospital just called!"

"Princess what do you mean?"

"She's awake daddy! Cordelia's awake!" Sarai exclaimed. Angel was shocked.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Not even I would mess around with something like this. Well what are waiting for? Go see her."

"Right...I'll be back"

"Take your time."

Around 10 am Angel and Cordy walked through the penthouse doors. "Pretty swanky place. I can see why I guy would sell-out for a place like this" she commented.

"Will you knock it off already" he insisted.

"Now why would I do that?"

"Cordy!" Sarai said coming out her room.

"Hey, look at you. Love the hair."

"Thanks, at least someone does" Sarai answered shooting Angel a dirty look.

"What? I never said I didn't like it" he defended.

"But I bet you never said you did either" Cordy said.

"Who's side are you on?" he asked. She pointed to Sarai and Sarai stuck her tongue out at Angel in triumph over absolutely nothing. "I am going to take a shower."

"Well, thank god. I was about to say something" Sarai said with her special patented sarcasm that was reserved just for annoying Angel. Angel headed toward the bathroom and lightly slapped Sarai upside the head when he walked past her. "I have a wittiness to that" she called out to him.

"Arm spasm" he answered as he shut the bathroom door.

Cordy and Sarai sat down. "So....how was the coma?"

"Very relaxing. Everything's completely different isn't it?"

"What? No, you've only been out a year I mean a lots still the same. Same, TV channels, same president, same cloud of fog covering this city, everybody still loves Raymond....."

"No, Sarai I don't mean in the world. I mean here, with you and Angel."

"Oh, yeah."

"Before I slipped to slumberland you wanted nothing to do with him. Now you're living together and he tells me you're really close, really getting along.."

"Yeah, we are."

"I am glad."

"Me too. He's great....but you can't ever tell him I said that."

"Too late" Angel said coming out of the bathroom"

"That was really fast." Cordy commented.

"Yeah, when I want to get in there he takes like ten thousand hours and uses all my hot water but now of all of a sudden he's Mr. Fast Shower."

"And 'great' apparently" Angel said throwing that back in Sarai's face.

"What? I don't know what you mean. I think this is that insanity thing you have going on that I am always trying to warn you about. You really should have it look at, there are special places for people like you, nice white rooms with soft walls and pretty white coats."

"Sarai, honey I've been trying to get him one for years. It doesn't work" Cordy said, finding comfort in bothering Angel.

"I hate you both" he stated.

"Right back at you" both girls replied.

"So, ready too go Cordy?"

"Where you two going?" Sarai asked.

"To see everyone else since I haven't seen them yet. You wanna come with us?"

"I would but I don't wanna intrude..."

"Since when" Angel cut in.

"Since I like Cordy much better then you. Anyway like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted I'll let you guys have some grown-up time."

"Ok then. We shouldn't be to long so try not to get into any trouble, I know it may be a new concept but it's good to try new things." Angel said.

"Oh, you mean like you and your constant search to find new types of hair gel that make your hair stand extra, extra straight up?" Sarai said back. Cordy laughed causing Angel to shoot her a nasty look.

"What? It was funny." she defended.

"See, I am not the only one who notices"

"Goodbye Princess.. Cordy you coming or not?"

"Wait, before you leave would it be OK if I asked Ryan...."

"NO!" Angel interrupted again.

"Who's Ryan?" Cordy asked.

"My boyfriend."

"Now, now there's no need to get hasty and use the 'B' word. " Angel said.

"He doesn't like Ryan"

"You have no idea how much that doesn't surprise me" Cordy said.

"I don't trust him either. You know he's not allowed over when no ones here" Angel stated.

"Geez, all we're gonna do it watch TV. Its not like we're going to be ripping each others clothes off and humping like bunnies or anything." Sarai said pointedly.

"SARAI!" Angel exclaimed horrified by her bluntness.

"Well, its true. We won't."

"The answers still no. Now we're going to see the others and also to in role you in a convent school."

"Whatever"

About an hour after Angel and Cordy left the penthouse Sarai was watching TV when she heard a knock on the door. She got up and opened it and saw that standing on the other side was a geeky looking man and about 30 girls.

"You need to come with us" Andrew said.

"Huh?" Sarai questioned.

"We're here to save you"

"Save me? Ooo, I get it your one of those religious groups that go around. Thanks but I don't feel like switching my religion plan. Not that I actually have one..."

"No you need to come with us. There are prophecies and everything" Andrew said trying to sound official.

"I am not going anywhere with you people."

Andrew turned around to the girls "Obviously they're using some sort of mind control on her or tricking her, we'll need to use force" he said like it was a big secret plan.

"Hey Sherlock, I can hear you" Sarai pointed out. Some of the slayers tried to force Sarai to go with them but of course she started to fight back. She put up a pretty good fight to considering it was 30 on 1. The problem was Sarai knew these girls were human like her so she didn't want to kill them, but she didn't have a problem with hurting them. She had seriously injured 15 of the slayers before it became too much for her, two of the slayers carried her out of the penthouse while the others and Andrew helped the injured slayers to the high speed jet.

A little while later Angel, Cordy, Dawn, Harmony, Doyle, Wesley, Fred, Gunn, Spike and Lorne went to the penthouse to look for Sarai. "So we all agree on Chinese?" Cordy asked.

"Yeah, I could go for an Eggrole. Plus, its your meal. Yo Sarai where you at?" Gunn called looking around the place and not seeing her anywhere.

"Look at this mess she's made" Angel commented looking around at the trashed living room with some broken furniture. But the when Angel saw her money and keys were laying on her desk and she was on where insight he became worried. Very worried. "Where the hell is she" he asked.

"Ah, Angel I know you probably don't want to hear this, but this doesn't look like a mess to me. It looks like the aftermath of a fight." Spike pointed out seriously. He may've thought Angel was the biggest wanker on earth but he'd taking a liking to Sarai and was willing to kill if something really did attack her.

"You're right on both counts. I didn't want to hear it and it does look like there was a fight."

"Who could've done this!" Gunn demanded.

"It doesn't matter. They just signed their death certificate." Angel said grabbing a sword.

"Angel how can you kill what may've been here if we don't know what it is?" Cordy asked.

"She's right Angel we need to find out what happened first" Wesley added. Angel was really starting to loose it and it was showing.

"Look I am sure she's fine. That daughter of yours sure knows how to handle herself" Doyle said.

"I know where you can find her" Eve said walking through the door.

"YOU" Angel yelled. As he started to charge toward Eve, luckily Spike held him back.

"Come down man listen to what she has to say" Doyle instructed.

"The Senior Partners sent me here. They have a signal on this place that lets them know if an attack of fight has taken place. The signal went off so they did a scan"

"A scan?" Fred questioned.

"They can get a quick visual of what happened. Spike was right there was a fight here. The only thing the Senior Partners got was a image of Sarai being taken away and they also got the address of where she was being taken too. Its in England"

"England? Why they kidnap her and take her there?" Lorne asked.

"Don't know. Maybe to send a massage to Angel about something, maybe because of who she is, there are a number of reasons why."

"They're also about to be killed" Angel said and then had a thought "wait, why did the Senior Partners want you to tell me what happened to her without me asking?"

"Because, your on our side now. At Wolfram and Hart we take care of our own"

"When your not sacrificing them" Cordy muttered.

"Ok so what are we waiting for? Let's go find her" Gunn said.

"Some of you should stay here, just incase" Angel ordered.

"Well there's no way I am stayin'" Gunn answered.

"Me neither" Cordy and Spike said,

"I'll go too" Wesley added.

"Make that six" Doyle said.

"Ok we'll go. Lorne, Fred, Harmony, Eve and Dawn you stay here and keep an eye on things. We'll call you when we know more" Angel said as they headed out the door.

London:

"Will you tell me your name?" Buffy asked Sarai.

"Kiss my ass" Sarai said back.

"I am not going to hurt you."

"Like you could."

"We're on your side here"

"Oh really? Is that why you kidnaped me?"

"We needed to get you out of that place. I don't know what you've been told but you're in danger there"

"Danger? Like 30 supper powered girls could break in and start a fight with me?"

"I think for the most part you handled yourself pretty well." Giles said coming into the conference room Buffy and Sarai were in. Xander and Andrew were with him.

"Hey, those girls I hurt deserved it. And besides that'll be nothing compared to what my father is going to do to you all. Especially you" she said pointing at Andrew "he's going to rip out your throat and then feed it to you."

Andrew held in throat and swallowed hard.

"See that's the thing. We don't know what you've been told and quite frankly I thought we'd be dealing with a toddler but your father, the vampire, he's not what he seems. He's evil, he's going to hurt you someday." Giles informed her.

"I don't know what you've been told but that's not true. My father loves me and he is so going to make ya'll pay its not even funny. Wait on second thought, its really funny."

"Sweet kid" Xander commented.

"Bite me!" Sarai yelled back. For some reason, even before she spoke with Xander she felt a weird obligation to hate him more then the others as soon as she saw him. She couldn't describe it, its just how it was.

"Hey guys I am back from Spain with more sla-Sarai" Faith said shocked entering the room.

"Faith" Sarai said equally shocked.

"What are you doing here?" Faith asked.

"I was about to asked you the same thing."

"You two know each other?" Buffy questioned.

"Obviously. It took you this long to figure it out?" Sarai answered sarcastically.

Something clicked in Faiths head "Wait a second, I heard a rumor downstairs that you took a girl from the US and brought her here don't tell me...this is her." Faith said to Andrew.

"Ah, yeah" he answered nervously.

"Oh you're so gonna get your throat ripped out"

"That's what I said. And that's also if he decides to be generous." Sarai told Faith.

"Which I wouldn't count on." Faith added. "B, I can't believe you'd Ok something like this"

"Why wouldn't I? Am I missing something?" Buffy asked.

"You really don't know who she is do you Buffy?" Faith asked, realizing what a huge misunderstanding had just taken place.

"Wait, Buffy? Oh, dude!" Sarai exclaimed catching on to what was happening. "Ah well, it won't make a difference my dads still going to kill that Andrew guy at the least."

"That's for damn sure" Faith confirmed. As if on cue five seconds after Faith spoke Angel bursted threw the door, slammed Andrew against the wall and started to choke him.

"What have you done with her!" A livid Angel demanded.

"Yo chill" Faith said.

Sarai sighed, she really didn't want to do what she was about to, but she knew it was right. "Yeah daddy I am ok." Sarai said going over and putting her arms around Angel's waiste.

"Daddy?" Buffy questioned sharply causing Angel to turn around at the sound of her voice.

"Lu-cy you got some splainin' to do" Xander said in the best Ricky Ricardo impersonation.

TBC.

A/N: How was this chapter? I'll update soon. You know the deal, review in the meantime. In the next chapter Sarai speaks her mind and tells the Scoobies (especially Xander) where to go. As always suggestion are welcome, I hope all who asked for Cordy is happy. Also incase any of you are reading my other fic Angel's Key(and if you aren't, why the hell not....lol just kidding) I haven't forgotten about it. Just having a bit of writers block on it is all but I'll update it soon. If you'd like you could add suggestions to that in your reviews as well. Now that I've rambled on and shamelessly plugged another one of my fics I'll let you all go.....for now.
