Sorry this took so long to get out, but I had other crap to deal with. As always, I own nothing.

Ch.5

The remaining people look at Boton and she looked at them.

Boton: Is there something on my face?

Yusuke: Why does she get to go!

Boton: She's a slayer.

Cordelia: What is with the big entrance of those without a fashion sense?

New People: Hey!

Cordelia: Ok, sorry not all of you. Sam and Selene are ok 'cause hey duh they're rich. Roelai and Lory are good too. The rest of you suck.

Rory: It's Lorelai and Rory.

Cordelia: Whatever.

Koenma walks back into the room.

Koenma: I just sent 2 ex-thieves, 1 shape shifter and you can never trust them, a nervous wreak of a witch, three cocky slayers, and two caffeine addicts. The world will be destroyed.

Boton: All of them except for Lorelai have saved the world before. What's the problem?

Koenma: Because only 3 of the 9 have always been the good guy. 1 of which has died… twice.

Dawn: Saving the world.

Keiko: But Hiei and Kurama wouldn't betray us. They're our friends. Kurama's completely changed from what he was and Hiei, even though he doesn't show it, has become attached to the human world.

Xander: Faith has done the repenting thing. When it matters Buffy and Willow know what to do and will get it done. If the Buffster dies, Willow can bring her back. If Kennedy stays alive, Willow won't go off the deep end.

Spike: And Willow has Kennedy so whipped that whatever Red wants her to do she'll do it.

Giles: Vyper acts like she doesn't care about what happens to anyone but herself and when we first met her that was true. But Xander, Buffy and Willow changed her. Even Cordelia and Angel helped her somewhat.

Dawn: You help too.

Giles: Vyper hasn't killed a human for almost 7 years now. She is one of us. And she will stay with us.

Selene: Alexis isn't the kind of woman who will switch sides in the middle of something like this. And she likes human world more than anywhere else. Something about better dance clubs.

Rory: You don't have to worry about Mom. She maybe goofy but she'd never do anything seriously wrong. The worst she's ever done is devil egg someone's car with me.

Jess: That was you?

Yusuke: Devil Egg?

Rory: Long story.

Jackson: Wouldn't you count getting pregnant at 16 as bad too?

Sookie: But we like Rory.

Luke: If something needs to get done, Lorelai will do it. She has a knack for coming through when you need her.

Shizuru: Looks like your crackpot team ain't so bad.

Koenma: I knew that. I just believe all of you needed to hear it.

The whole group does an eye roll.

Somewhere not Koenma's place

A portal appears and our funky band of fighters walks out of it. It was very gorgeous there. The birds were softly chirping, the stream was flowing, and you couldn't see 3 ft in front of you because apparently it was nighttime.

Faith: This blows.

Alexis: Yo, fire freaks, how 'bout a little help here?

Suddenly 2 huge flames erupt from the ground. Koenma had put them in a large clearing and had given them a bag each with weapons, clothes, etc.

Willow: So, uh, what should we do? Stay here or go somewhere which might be kind of difficult with the dark and the not seeing and the not knowing of where to go which all leads to bad and-

Kennedy kisses Willow to stop the onslaught of babble. Lorelai, Kurama, and Hiei are amazed that Willow could manage to say all of that without breathing.

Buffy: Good point. I'm thinking stay here and get some sleep. You know- rest for tomorrow. And those from California are going through hellish jet lag. We're all tired.

Kurama: Staying here is perfectly fine. We can't do anything now anyway.

Everyone looks at Lorelai.

Lorelai: It's unanimous I guess.

Kennedy: Should we keep watch for demons or whatever?

Faith: Hey, what do ya know. She has a brain.

Kennedy: Don't start.

Hiei: I've already set up wards. There's no need.

Vyper: Gasp. He speaks. The King of the Monosyllable can form a sentence.

Kurama starts to smirk as Hiei glares.

They all start to lay out their sleeping bags. Hiei just jumps in a tree and Kurama lays out next to it. A few feet away the Scoobies get in their little clump. Alexis says that she's going to look around for awhile so they have an idea of where to go in the morning. Lorelai is a fair distance away from everyone

In the morning they have the rudest wake up call ever. Alexis is standing over them banging 2 pots together.

Alexis: Wakie, wakie. It's a beautiful day here in no wheres vill. Come on guys wake up. The sun rose 30 minutes ago. We need to get started.

Lorelai gets up, walks over to Alexis, grabs the pots from her and proceeds to hit her with one before tossing them away and goes back to sleep. Several cheers arise from the slayers before they fall back asleep. Willow entertains the thought of waking up, but decides against it and goes back to sleep. Kurama looks at his watch, glares at it, rolls over, and puts his pillow over his head. Hiei ignores the whole thing.

Alexis: Why are none of you getting up? We should be going.

Vyper, who has remain motionless and quiet: You said it yourself, "The sun rose 30 minutes ago" which means it's still sleepy time for another few hours. Go to sleep.

Alexis gives up and goes to her sleeping bag.
