Here is the fight scene I mentioned in the note from previous chapter. I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 15

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from the Angel series except my own.

The six individuals forged ahead into the living room to greet the danger before them. Angel pushed away the suspicious thoughts out of his mind, steeling his mind to face the fight ahead, his face hardening at the sight of his front door destroyed. There were five men standing just outside the living room...all dressed in black sweaters and matching cargo pants with heavy rugged boots finishing off the look. And they were all holding guns pointing directly at the group.

"Sorry to crash in uninvited," one of them snarled. "We figured if we called first it would have been a problem."

"What do you want," Angel asked, his voice steady and calm in spite of the situation.

"I think I'm what they're looking for...right boys," Kaia said playfully as she stepped around Angel. He grabbed her arm to stop her from walking ahead. "It's okay Angel," she said turning around to look at him. "I'm just going to get rid of their toys." Kaia turned back around to face the assailants, swiftly whisking the guns away from their hands. They floated through the air before landing at her feet. "Gunn, Wesley, Fred...keep those weapons trained will ya," she said as she bent to empty the chambers of the weapons. She lifted the bullets and the weapons in the air and floated them backwards into the dining room area. She then turned back to their visitors and dropped her spikes on the ground.

"Now...which one of your asses should I kick first," Kaia sneered. The men glanced at one another and matching smiles appeared on their faces. "We thought you would never ask," said another, and then their faces changed. Vampires. Okay...didn't expect that. "Alright...interesting twist," she commented, cocking her head to the side. "Well...I needed some playtime this morning anyway." The four vampires charged and she ran towards the oncoming danger, ignoring Angel's call to wait. She teleported in mid stride, stopping the vampires in their tracks, as they looked around for where she could have gone. She reappeared on the ceiling over one of them, her body facing outwards as her hands and feet stuck easily to the surface.

"Okay...she has got to teach me how to do that," Gunn said, as he watched her in awe.

"Hey ugly," Kaia called out, just before she dropped down landing a punch in the vampire's face as his head turned upwards toward her voice. He grunted and threw her off of him, her body landing hard on the floor. Kaia instantly flipped back onto her feet.

"Kaia," Angel called and he threw one of the stakes at her, scowling at the fact that she had dropped them in the first place. She caught it quickly and turned back around, throwing it forward where it implanted itself in the vampire's chest, turning him to dust. The stake fell, clattering to the floor audibly. "One down...four to go," she sang out, jogging over to retrieve the stake from the floor. That statement forced the other vampires into action. Kaia took them on bravely; ducking, punching, and kicking, before finally flipping backwards twice to land beside Angel again.

"A little help here would be great," Kaia remarked sarcastically, not even sounding the least bit winded at the energy she had just expelled. Angel shrugged. "You seemed to be doing just fine," he replied nochalantly. In truth, he also was in impressed with the way she handled herself. The way she fought...it was so familiar...she moved like Connor. He took a look at her face and decided now was not the time for sarcasm. "Fine...I needed a morning work out anyway," he said dryly as he bent down to retrieve the other stake Kaia had dropped and placed his axe on the floor. He walked forward and smiled at the remaining vamps. "Come on guys...I don't have all day so can we---," he started in a bored tone but was cut off from finishing his sentence when the vampires attacked him. The sight of one of the vampires catching Angel in the jaw with a hard punch threw her back into action as she teleported to land in the middle of the fray; taking on two of the vamps herself and leaving Angel to handle the other two.

Gunn started to move forward, ready to get involved in the fight himself when Fred grabbed his arm. "What," Gunn replied harshly, giving Fred an irritated look. "Fred we can't just stand here and do nothing," he cried.

"Yes we can," she said firmly. "They can handle it. Right now all you need to do is just watch." Fred then looked at Wesley. "You too Wesley...just trust me." Wesley nodded, not knowing why he was agreeing to not go in there and help. He did as she requested and then his eyes widened. He saw it...the similarity in their moves. The way Kaia punched and kicked with such power...he had only seen four other people move like that and two out of the four was Angel and Connor. The other two, Buffy and Faith, fought similar to this being that they were slayers, but this girl...she couldn't be a slayer. Where had she learned to fight like this? How could she be so strong?

"Don't you move a muscle either Spike," Fred commanded. Spike didn't respond, but he didn't move from his spot either. He was busy thinking the same thing Wesley was thinking. This girl was powerful...she fought like a slayer, but she wasn't. He knew she wasn't because slayers were always human. Just who the hell is this girl?

Kaia, oblivious to the four individuals who were currently studying her and Angel as they continued to fight, grunted slightly as one of the vampires caught her with a kick in the area of her abdomen that was already bruised. "How's that feel bitch," he snarled, proud of finally being able to get a blow in. She rewarded him for causing her pain with a swift punch to his neck, which made a choking sound come out of his mouth as he held his throat. "I don't know...you tell me," she replied, shrugging slightly. She then staked the vampire swiftly as he held his throat. She smiled ruefully as she watched him turn to dust. With her attention diverted, however, it allowed the other vamp to kick her in the face. She went down hard and glanced back up just in time to see a foot coming down towards her face. She rolled out of the way and got to her feet, wiping the blood off her lips.

"Now that wasn't very nice," she said as she stalked towards him. "Didn't your sire teach you how to play nice?" He shrugged in answer and threw a punch at her instead. She ducked and punched him hard in the groin. He groaned in pain and landed on his knees. She patted his head and then gave him another punch to the face. "You see...that's what happens when you're not nice," she said sweetly. He growled and tried to grab her, but she punched him so hard he crashed against the wall.

She turned to Angel to see how he was faring. He was doing okay...getting a lot of blows in. She felt a tingle go down her spine, a clear indication of her instincts warning her of danger. She nearly didn't catch the knife that was coming towards her, but turned and caught it quickly just as Gunn called out a warning. She threw it right back at the vampire who had thrown it at her. The vampire growled in pain as the knife landed in his shoulder. He yanked the knife out and threw it to the floor in anger. "I'm going to love eating you," he said angrily. She rolled her eyes at his comment and teleported landing directly behind the vampire. "Eat this," she said as she grabbed him by the neck and twisted it sharply, stepping back as the dust fell to the floor.

At the sound of Gunn calling Kaia's name, Angel's concentration lapsed and he turned to look at her, allowing one of the vampires he was fighting to punch him swiftly. The vampire then kicked the stake out of his hand and Angel saw it roll a couple feet away. He cursed inwardly at how he let himself be distracted. The vampire gave Angel an evil smile. Angel returned the smile before throwing a punch at the vamp. The vampire ducked and kicked out, which Angel dodged. Kaia watched Angel fight the vampire, seeing the obvious similarities in their fighting styles and she smirked.

The smile slid off her face when she sensed what the vampire was trying to do. He was maneuvering the fight so he could get closer to the stake lying on the ground. Her fear came to pass as the vampire dropped to the ground and rolled, quickly grabbing the stake. The vampire stood up and rapidly threw the stake at Angel, where it landed in his stomach. Angel bent over immediately and grunted loudly as he held on to the stake, trying to pull it out. Gunn moved forward again, but Fred stopped him. "No...it's alright," she said. "He'll be fine. I need you to just watch."

"Fred, one of my best friends has a stake in his stomach," Gunn growled, as if she couldn't see that fact for herself. "I can't just stand here, while he's hurt!"

"No Gunn," said Wesley in a firm but soft voice. "Do what she says. Just watch them...you'll see what she means." Gunn sighed but he didn't make a move to help. He would do what Fred and Wesley said, for now, but if anything happened to Angel, it would be on their heads. Gunn's mouth fell open, as he understood what they were trying to tell him. Something jogged his memory...the way Angel and Kaia fought was eerily similar. He remembered thinking that very same thing when he first saw her fight in Angel's office just yesterday morning. They were missing something...about this girl...but he couldn't figure about what.

The vampire's grin grew broader as it kicked the stake into Angel's stomach further. Angel let out an audible groan, which pulled Kaia out of the momentary shock she was in. Shock was replaced by anger as she teleported, landing next to Angel. She then used her telekinesis to pick the vampire up and threw him across the room towards the foyer. She turned to Angel and concentrated on removing the stake from his stomach. The stake appeared to move by itself as she concentrated on dislodging it with her telekinesis, before falling to the ground with a clatter. Angel groaned softly in pain, but he stood upright and prepared himself to finish the fight.

Kaia placed a hand on his arm. "No Angel," she said firmly. "I'll finish them...let me do this." Angel nodded, knowing that she was quite up to the task. Kaia felt another surge of anger course through her, as she looked over at the other vampire who was watching Angel and smiling at his agony. She charged him in anger, giving him two hard kicks to the face. As the vampire landed hard on his back, she leaped and landed straddling his hips, driving the stake into his chest angrily.

The last vampire came back into the room holding his side in pain, but he was giving her an evil grin. "What's the matter little girl," he asked menacingly. "Why so fired up? You should be glad I missed, otherwise your daddy would be dust right now." Kaia stiffened at the word 'daddy' and she looked at Angel with an almost scared expression. He didn't like the look on her face...the look in her eyes. It told him that the vampire somehow knew something important that concerned him and Kaia, something that she obviously didn't want Angel to find out.
