A/N I'm uploading two chapters at once so enjoy. Also thanks for the reviews. To dogbercarroll, I know it seems like a bad idea to crossover highlander but just be patient with me. I think you'll like how the story comes out.

Chapter 12

Akin's last hunt pt. 1

Xander and Kendra finally made it to her house. Xander was amazed that she could live in such a run down house. He was even more confused as to why the Council would let her live this way. Then he actually thought about the Council, since when did they care about their Slayers anyway.

"Ahhhh... you must be Alexander Harris" a tall black man asked, snapping Xander out of his musings.

"Oh, yes sir. But please just call me Xander or Alex."

"Alright Alex and please call me Sam." he said as he made a gesture for Xander to have a seat. Which he did so.

" I originally asked you here to see if you would like to join us in the fight against darkness." Sam said as he sat down himself. "But Kendra informed me of something most troubling, that happened last night."

"Oh yeah I kind of got possessed again." Xander muttered to himself. But he forgot that with Slayer hearing Kendra heard everything he said.

"When was de first time you got possessed" Kendra asked.

"What's that, dear" Mr. Zabuto asked.

"He said dat he has been possessed before, sir."

"Is this true, Alex "

Xander let out a sigh, as he told him about being possessed by the hyena spirit and the spirit of a soldier.

"I see." Sam said looking stern. "It seems that Mr. Travers, gave me the edited version of what really happened in Sunnydale." Zabuto said, while Xander gave him a knowing look.

"Now tell me how you became to be possessed by the Hunter" Zabuto now asked.

Then he told him about Sheila and her plot to get her husband back and how the spell got messed up. But as Xander told the story, Zabuto observed that he held no malice against the woman and that he seemed very fond of her.

"Alex I don't think you understand the ramifications of what Sheila has done. The Hunter is very wreckless and dangerous. He'll eventually get you hurt or worse..." Zabuto trailed off to let that part sink into Xander's head.

"I'll try to do a spell to get him out of your mind immediately." Zabuto said after a moments pause.

"What will happen to Xander, if you don't get de Hunter out" Kendra asked.

"He'll soon take over his mind. I can't believe that woman did that to you. I have half a mind to inform the Council and have her..."

"No" Xander shouted cutting off Mr. Zabuto. " I...I don't want the Council involved in this."

"I know that you're infatuated with this woman but I think that it's best, that we inform the Council."

"It's more than just..." Xander shouted out in frustration, until he stopped and calmed himself down. "Listen, let's just go and talk to Sheila like adults Okay. We can settle this without the Council."

"Alright." Mr. Zabuto said, eyeing Xander wearily. "We'll do this your way, for now."

With that said, the three left Mr. Zabuto's house and returned to Sheila's. When Xander opened the door he saw Sheila lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood. On Wobbly legs he ran to her prone body and cradled her in his arms. Mr. Zabuto lowered his head in sorrow and Kendra stared on in disbelief.

As Xander cried over her dead body, Sheila suddenly takes in a deep intake of breath. Helping her to her feet, he stares at her amazed.

"H...how" Xander asked wiping at his eyes.

"I'll explain later." Sheila replied with a wince as the sword hole started to repair itself. "He took Dierdre."

"What" Xander exploded. "Who the hell took her"

"Daihawk." Sheila replied looking glum.

At the mere mention of his name Xander starts to hyperventilate. As his body begins to shake a feral smile begins to play upon his face and his eyes glow a milky white. Coming out of his trance he glances over at Sheila and grins.

"Tell me woman, where is Daihawk" The Hunter asks as he grabs Sheila by her arms making her wince in pain. "Come on woman tell me" he commanded. Before he knew what was going on someone grabbed him roughly on the shoulder and threw him the length of the room.

As he came out of his dazed stupor from his position on the floor, he looked up and saw that it was Kendra that had through him. With a smile on his face he stood up and walked to her.

"So you think you can get in my way " he asked as the two squared off.

"Xander snap out of it " Sheila screams as she gets in between them. "Think about Dierdre." she begs.

After a second Xander's eyes turned back to their normal liquid brown and his feral grin dissappeared.

"Xander is dat really you " Kendra asked, still in her fighting stance.

"Yeah it's me." Xander confirmed rubbing at his temple. "Just forget about me though, we have to get Dierdre back." he says walking away from the group.

"How are we going to find her " Mr. Zabuto asked.

"I don't know. We just have too."

"Xander I have to get changed. I'll meet you in de basement." Sheila says as she begins to walk upstairs.

"Sheila I'm sorry that I..."

"Don't apologize for dat." she cuts him off. "Listen we'll talk all about dat later. We need to get to Dierdre first. I'll explain me plan to find her when I get back." she says as she dissappeared upstairs.

With that said Xander, Mr. Zabuto, and Kendra walked down to the basement. After suiting up in his all black armor, Xander starts to get some weapons.

"Listen I don't know what to expect when we find Dierdre." Xander says as he picks up two 9mm's. Checking the magazines he saw that they had vampire killing bullets in them. "So I'm thinking that we should take modern weapons." With that said Mr. Zabuto took a shotgun off the wall, loaded it and pulled back the slide. Xander and Kendra just looked at him in awe.

"Hey I wasn't alway's a Watcher." he said with a shrug. At that moment Sheila walked into the room. She was wearing an all black skin tight outfit, that clung to her body like spandex. She also had her hair down Xander noticed. It was the first time she'd done so. Usually she had her hair up in a wrap, which made her look older.

With her hair down she looked every bit of twenty five. Xander eye molested her so much that he instantly got on hard. He was very grateful that he had his duster on, so it could hide his erection.

"She...Sheila." Xander started almost in a high pitched voice. She looked up with him with a raised eyebrow. Then he tried again this time clearing his throat. "You said you knew how to find Dierdre " he asked.

"Yes." she said as she put on a armored vest. As she leaned over to get the 9mm's that he put on the desk, some of her cleavage (which are double D's by the way) is exposed. Xander let's out an audible gulp as he see's this.

"Focus, Alexander." Zabuto says with some amusement in his voice.

"Right." Xander says as he gets control back over himself. "So how are we going to find her " he asked Sheila.

"We're going to see Miss Mabinty. She can do a locator spell and den we can get to Dierdre." she explains.

"Are you sure you can handle this, Sheila " Xander asked. "You were just dead a few minutes ago."

"I'm fine, Xander." she replied with a smile. "We Immortals heal fast."

"An Immortal " Zabuto asked.

"We'll talk about that later. Is everybody ready " Xander asks. They all nod their heads. "Good."

"Were not all going to be able to fit in me jeep." Sheila explains as she heads to her second garage. "Dat's why were going in dis." she says as she lets up the garage door. What Xander see's stuns him.

It's a sleek, powerful, futuristic panther of a car - jet black with a domed interior. What surprises Xander though is that it suspiciously looks like...

"The Batmobile..." Xander says with a smile. "This car looks just like the batmobile from that movie with Micheal Keaton."

"Dat's because it is." Sheila explains a little embarressed. "Me husband was a fanatic and he had de car built to his specifications."

"Cool." was all Xander could say. The Dark Knight was always one of his favorite super heroes. Seeing a remote control on a table he picks it up and pushes the button. The car's hood opens with an audible whoosh.

The interior is a glistening, intricate maze of computers, screens, and complicated electrical systems. He also notices that it is a four seater and is a bit more roomier then it's counterpart in the movies and comics.

"I'm driving." Xander says as he jumps in the drivers seat.

"Ummm... ya do know how ta drive dis ting don't you " Sheila asks nervously.

"Of course I do." Xander says as he flips some switches and the turbines spin on the car. Kendra, Mr. Zabuto, and Sheila share nervous glances and with a shrug they hop in the car.


After about thirty minutes of driving, the gang finally made it to Miss Mabinty's. Surprisingly enough Xander didn't have any accidents on the way over. Letting themselves into the house they saw Miss Mabinty already on the floor chanting something in german.

"All of you sit down in de circle." she says, not even bothering to look up at them. They all exchange a glance but do as they are told.

"So how long is it going to take for us to find Dierdre." Xander asked after a few minutes of Miss Mabinty chanting.

"I already did dat." she replies as she gathers something in her hand.

"Then what the hell are we doing here " Xander asked.

"Dis." Miss Mabinty says as she stands quickly and throws a red powder in Xander's face.

"Oh crap, not again." Xander mutters as he falls into unconciousness.

"What is the meaning of this " Zabuto yells as he stands. "What have you done to Alex ?"

"We're fixing de problem we caused." Sheila answered for Miss Mabinty. "We unleashed de Hunter into dis world, now we will get rid of him."

"You, knew about dis " Kendra asked.

"Yes, but don't worry. Xander can defeat de Hunter." I hope, Sheila silently says to herself.

"For your sake let's hope dat you are correct." Kendra said. The threat evident in her voice.

Inside Xander's mind

Xander finally sat up and rubbed at his temple. He's wearing all black again.

"Why the fuck does this alway's have to happen to me " he questions himself as he stood to his feet and looked around. He saw that he was in a jungle, but it didn't look like the one from last time, it looked kind of different.

"Okay this is wierd, even by Hellmouth standards." He says as he walked by a tree. Then someone suddenly throws a wicked looking dagger at his head, barely missing it by inches. It embeds itself harmlessly in the tree behind him.

Yanking it out of the tree he regards the figure walking in front of him.

"I was expecting to see you sooner or later." he says to Akin.

"Yeah it's been awhile." Akin replies sarcasticly.

"And let me guess you want to fight " Xander asked.

"You guessed right." Akin replied as he got into a fighting stance. Xander lifts up the green and black dagger and runs at Akin. As soon as Xander get's close enough Akin kicks him in the stomach. As they struggle for the control of the dagger, Akin punches Xander in the face and kicks the knife up into the air.

As Xander watches it go up, Akin drops down and leg sweeps him, sending Xander down to the ground. Merely lifting his arm the dagger falls into his hand. As Xander stood up the ground starts to shake. Looking up at Akin he see's some black energy coming out of his dagger.

The black energy turns into lightning and it quickly hits the ground and goes towards Xander. Not being able to move in time, the black lightning hits Xander full force. The explosions ring off all around him as it knocks him to the ground.

Akin runs up to Xander and picks him up forcibly. Pushing him up against a tree he presses the dagger to his throat. Using his minds strength he picks Akin up making his back hit the tree. Still holding on to Xander's arms he kicks his legs off the trunk of the tree and lands back on his feet.

Using his superior strength Akin picks Xander up and tosses him about ten feet away, where he falls down in a heap. Picking up a fallen tree, Akin lifts it over his shoulder and tosses it at Xander. As Xander jumps in the air to avoid it, the tree explodes behind him. Wood and dust fly everywhere as Xander falls and lands at Akin's feet.

"Why don't you just give up boy " Akin says as he menacingly walks around him.

"If you were really in my mind you would know that I would never give up on the fight." Xander says from his position on the ground.

"Then I guess this is goodbye." Akin replies as he is about to plunge the dagger into Xander. Xander closes his eyes, ready to embrace the pain of his death. A death that never came. Opening his eyes he saw that Akin had sheathed his dagger and was holding his hand out to help him to his feet.

Taking his help Xander dusts himself off and looks at Akin questionably.

"Why didn't you kill me " Xander asked.

"Because you proved yourself worthy, brother." Akin answers. "That's why I'm going to give your life back to you. All that I ask is that when the time comes that you will let me take over your body once more so I can kill Daihawk."

"So then your curse will finally be lifted." Xander figured.

"Yes." he said simply.

"Alright I'll let you have control then." Xander said with a nod of his head. "Just as long as you keep my friends safe."

"Agreed."

"Can I go now " Xander asked.

"Before you do I wanted to talk to you about something."

"I hate to be rude, but can you make it kind of quick."

"It'll only take a minute." Akin confirmed. "I know all that you know and I looked over your life. I saw how abusive your father was and I saw how your friends in Sunnydale treat you. You deserve better then that boy."

"Thanks for the concern." Xander said getting kind of angry. "But don't talk about..."

"Just let me finish." Akin cuts him off. "That girl Buffy will never love you. She's in love with that thing and it's going to get her killed one day."

"Damn, I almost forgot about Angelus." Xander says mentally kicking himself. "I'll have to get in contact with Willow later and see what's going on."

"I've also noticed how that girl Kendra looks at you." Akin commented. "Maybe you should seek a relationship with her."

"Oh come on. Kendra's hot, she'll never go out with a loser like me."

"There you go again, boy. You keep downing yourself. When you open your eyes, you'll see what I mean." he says as he waves his hand. A portal suddenly opens.

"Take this with you too, brother." Akin says as he takes a green amulet from around his neck. "If you ever need me in the future, after tonight, just hold this in the air and call my name. I'll come back to you. Also it has some other... special abilites."

"Thanks." Xander says as he takes the amulet.

"Now go, boy. Go and get your sister back."

"Be seeing you." Xander says as he makes a run for the portal.


As Xander opens tries to move he feels that someone is holding his head in their lap. As he opens his eyes he see's that it's Kendra.

"You're awake." Kendra says, worry evident in her voice as she helps Xander to his feet.

"Yeah." Xander said rubbing the back of his head. Then he took a good look at Kendra. He saw that she was worried and that she had a certain sparkle in her eyes.

"Listen when this is all over, I was wondering if... if I could ask you a question " he said changing what he was originally going to say.

"Alright." Kendra said.

"So I presume that you have a plan then, Alex " Mr. Zabuto asked.

"Yes sir." Xander said picking up his shotgun from off the floor. "I have a plan."

TBC...

Please review...

Also can you guess were I got Xander's fight scene from. Also the reason why Daihawk didn't kill Sheila is because he was afraid that the quickening would somehow destroy his bond with Duncan. So to those who wanted her dead, I'm sorry.
