"Only I can get lost going from the drinks table to the locker room"

The redhead mumbled as she looked left then right and left once more, her forehead crinkled a little as she tried to recognise one hallway from another, but it was useless, they were all the same ugly yellow colour.

"Your far from grandma's house"

The resonate voice brought a shiver down her spine as she slowly turned around and looked up, and up and up into a pair of mismatched eyes.

"Umm did you just make a joke because if you did then its all right I wont tell anyone, I'm good at keeping secretes…Very good cause you know keeping secretes is a good thing and not telling everyone everything is also a good thing maybe I should just head off down the hallway then tall dark and scary wont be all loomy and tall, still dark and scary but not so tall…Do you want a candy cane"

Finally trailing off Willow blushed crimson as she took a few steps back from Kane, yet she was still holding up the Christmas treat she loved – she had been travelling with her cousin long enough to know that the character played on TV sometimes spill out over into real life – and by what she heard Kane's had.

He was too quite, making her slowly lift her head Willow was surprised to see him tilting his head as he looked down at her, confusion and amazement clear on his face with a few other emotions she didn't want to dive to deep into.

Unconsciously mimicking his movement Willow was the staring champion of the scoobies and that included both Spike, who had the patience of a five year old so he want really a test and Angel.

She had no idea of how long went by as the two of them just looked at each other but was so caught up in the stair that she didn't see Vince McMahon, or the camera man and crew who came not so quietly around the corner, nor did she hear the equipment set up and soft whispers.

All she saw was those eyes, no longer a competition, she was caught up in the swirl of emotions, pain and agony she knew so well, that she knew reflected in her own. It was like she had drowned and been brought back a hundred times

"Red!"

The yelled voice snapped them from their trance, gasping for air she stumbled back – a pair of strong arms capturing her and once more she was caught up in that eddy churn of emotions that was his eyes, all you had to do was look.

"Be careful little red or the big bad wolf might gobble you all up"

He whispered in his gravely voice, his warm breath caressing her ear and then it was gone, the warm strong arms taken form her body the feel of his heartbeat next to hers and her body cried out in pain.

"Willow…Will's are you ok he didn't hurt you did he?"

Blinking again she finally turned to her cousin – the redhead shook her head

"No Stevie I'm fine"

"Keep the hell away from my cousin Kane!"

Steven Richards growled as he tugged her back down a hallway, frowning as Willow saw the gathering of people but as her eyes drifted over them they once more caught the mismatched pair and a smile came to her face when she saw a twinkle never before in them, as he brought her half eaten candy cane to his lips.
