A/N I was thinking of doing a sort of a crossover with that movie The Faculty for a later chapter. Not the characters from the movie, but rather the plot. What do you guys think?
Chapter 7
What's My Line pt. 2
"So how was your bloody family reunion, mate." Spike said into the air as he felt Ahriman's power enter the room.
"As good as, visiting a little sister can go." Ahriman said with amusement in his voice. "You seem upset about something, Spike." he said as he noticed an agitated look on the vampires face.
"It's Dru." Spike said as he lit a cigarette. "She's weak again. I need you to give her a little bit of your mojo."
"Ah, that's what you're upset about?" Ahriman asked. "Well I can do better than that. My sister has figured out a way for you to get rid of your greatest enemy and to get your woman up to full strength."
"What. Does Dru have to have Slayer's blood?" Spike asked as he took a drag of his cig.
"Not that enemy, I was speaking of Angelus."
"Angelus?" Spike asked in confusion. "What does Captain forehead have to do with anythin'?"
"According to my sister, there is a ceremony involving the Sire and Childe that would kill the Sire, but give strength to the Childe."
"Oh, this is too good." Spike said with a shark like grin on his face. "I can't wait to meet your sis. I'm gonna give her a kiss for this."
"Oh, you'll meet her soon enough." Ahriman said as he started to laugh.
Kendra attempted to open her eyes, but a bright light flooded them. Just as quickly she closed them. As she tried to sit up, she felt a pair of gentle hands holding her down. Finally forcing her eye's open, she saw a pretty older woman, with red hair holding her down. As she looked around the room she was in, she saw only expensive looking things hanging on the walls and an open window.
"It's going to be okay, sweetie." Jessica said as she let go of Kendra. "You're safe now."
And Kendra did feel safe. Even though she didn't know who the woman was, just by looking into her eye's she could tell that she could trust her. But Mr. Zabuto had told Kendra that a Slayer, must trust no one. Only her Watcher and the Council. Just as Kendra was about to question the woman the door to the far side of the room opened and in strolled the boy and the girl she had seen earlier.
"How are you feeling?" Xander asked as he walked up to the bed. Expecting an answer, he was totally unprepared for when Kendra surged up and kicked him in the face. As she was about to follow up with a punch, she suddenly winced and grabbed at the back of her head. Using the distraction, Xander did an open palmed strike to her chest and used his demonic speed to get behind her.
"Kendra, calm down." Xander demanded as he put her in a full nelson hold.
"Why, so you can kill me?" Kendra asked as she struggled against his hold.
"Kendra, if I wanted you dead I wouldn't have saved you last night and I wouldn't have brought you to my home. Now calm down so we can talk, please."
"I'll calm down if you let me go."
"If I do let you go do you promise not to attack?" Xander asked. Kendra let out a sigh and then she nodded her head. As Xander let her go, Kendra turned around glared at Xander and crossed her arms over her chest. "Alright first things first, do you remember what happened last night?"
"Yes, I saw you kill innocent monks." Kendra replied angrily. She hated to converse with this demon, but she had to see what kind of game he was playing at. It was true that he didn't kill her, but he obviously had a sinister plot at work.
Xander let out a sigh as he shaked his head at her. "Kendra, I told you last night that those guys were demons."
"He's telling you the truth, Ken." Trish spoke up for the first time. "We thought those guys were in trouble too, so we killed a vampire to save them. But then when those guys turned around and saw us, they had like no eyes and these weird symbols molded into their faces."
"If you still don't believe us, I've called Giles. He's Buffy's, the other Slayers, Watcher. He told us to meet him at the school library and he'll explain everything there."
"Alright." Kendra agreed. That seemed like the most logical thing to do. Besides Mr. Zabuto had told her that Mr. Giles was the last Slayers Watcher.
"Now that, that's settled." Jessica said as she stood up and approached the two. "Why don't you kids go on to the kitchen and eat. I made waffles." as if on cue Kendra's stomach growled making Miss Harris smile at her. "I see someone is hungry?"
"No ma'am." Kendra said as she turned to look at her. "I'm not hungry."
"Come on, Ken." Xander said as he put an arm around her shoulder. Seeing her glare he let go of her. "When's the last time you ate?"
"About two days ago." she informed him. As she said that Xander's blood started to boil. Besides looking up naked nymph's in the library all the time, he had read some old Watcher diaries that Giles kept in his office. They had mentioned something about Watcher's starving Slayers as a way to teach them discipline, but Xander had thought that the practice had long died out.
"Kendra, I swear to God, that we're not trying to hurt you here. School's gonna start soon, so please come and eat with us." he begged. Kendra looked at how sincere he was. She still didn't know if she could trust him, but her stomach made the decision for her as it growled again.
"Okay, but I want to know two tings?" Kendra asked. Xander just nodded his head. " How exactly did you save me last night and what kind of demon are you?"
"Well, what's called a Sin Scythe demon was behind you last night, so I shot it. When I did some metal from his sickle broke off and smacked you on the back of the head pretty good. Also I'm only half demon." Xander told her. "As for what kinda demon, I am...I don't know. All I know is that my father was the legendary dark knight, Sparda."
"Sparda?" Kendra asked. She had heard of him from her Watcher's diaries.
"Yeah, now come on." Xander said with a big goofy grin. "My mom makes the best waffles."
Sunnydale Library
Later that morning
"This is quite astounding," Giles said, as he alternated between staring at the ring, that Buffy had gotten from the assassin that attacked her last night, and staring at Kendra. Finally he choose Kendra as the first topic of conversation. "I've spoken with Kendra's watcher, Mr. Zabuto. He said that until this matter with Spike and Drusilla is dealt with, that Kendra is to stay here indefinately."
"Just great." Buffy said in annoyance. There was just something about the new girl that she didn't like. But as Buffy thought about it further, it wasn't really Kendra she didn't like. It was the fact that she was around made it a constant reminder of her death.
"It seems that our situation has gotten even worse." Giles said, ignoring Buffy's comment as he looked at the ring again. "Not only do we have to deal with Ahriman, Spike, and Drusilla but also the order is here."
"De assassins?" Kendra interrupted.
"W-Why yes," Giles said, clearly impressed. "You've heard of them?"
"Of course sir. I read of dem in de writings of Dramius."
"Really, I-I, I seem to have never been able to get through that book. It was a bit stodgy."
Kendra smiled shyly, "It was difficult. All dose footnotes."
"Yes quite," Giles said amused. "Well it's very good that you're familiar with The Order. I-It seems that Drusilla was gravely injured in Prague, and Spike has brought her here to the Hellmouth in order to revive her to full power."
"Den we must stop Spike."
"Slow down, pink ranger." Buffy interrupted. "We should come up with a plan first."
"Plus, we have to find out where their holed up at." Xander said as he and Trish appeared from the stacks, with a book in hand. "Hey, Giles I think that I found those monk guys we ran into last night." he said as he handed the older man the ancient tome. "But it's written in latin, so I can't read it."
"Good Lord." Giles said as he read the inscription under the picture of the monk. "It says here that they are the harbringers to the First."
"The First?" Buffy asked in confusion. "The First what?"
"The First evil." Giles answered.
Before the gang could question him further about the ramifications of the First being there, they all heard a loud scream. It wasn't just any scream, it was somebody screaming out Buffy's name. It was someone that sounded just like...
"Angel?" Buffy said as she stood up from her seat. As she,Trish, Xander, and Kendra ran to the trap door behind the stacks and into the the tunnels, they all saw Angel being dragged into the wall by a cloaked demon.
Angel walked down the long corridor in the sewers, trying to get to the library access tunnel. Buffy had called him that morning and had told him that they had a meeting in the library. As he turned down another tunnel that led to the trap door, behind the stacks of the library he picked up a strange scent.
"What the hell." he said to himself as he heard a ghostly whail. Turning he saw a robed demon with a scythe in hand, floating towards him. With a sigh, he took out the only weapon he had, a stake, and threw it full force at the demon.
Angel watched fascinated as his stake, went through the demons mask, making the demon shatter like glass into a million pieces. Thinking the fight was over, Angel turned only to be confronted by two more of the same kind of demon.
"Just great." Angel said as the demons floated by him. Before he could tap into his vampiric speed the demons took their scythe's and rammed them into Angel's gut. Making blood and flesh spew out onto the ground. Before he could try to break free, he felt himself start to unsolidify as he started passing through the walls with them.
As he screamed Buffy's name, he saw a glimpse of blonde hair and then nothing, as he passed through the sewer wall.
"Holy crap!" Trish said as she saw Angel go through the wall. "What are we going to do now?"
"Yeah, Buff. What are we going to do now?" Xander asked. Seeing that Buffy didn't answer him, he walked towards her and saw that she was staring out into space. "Buffy?" he asked again as he snapped his finger in front of her face.
"Angel." Buffy whispered as she finally came out of her daze.
"Buffy, it's okay he's not dead." Xander told her.
"How do you know that?" Trish asked.
"Because, if they wanted him dead then they would have killed him here." Xander said looking from Trish to Buffy. "They must want him for something else." he concluded.
"But still how are we going to find him?" Trish asked. Before Buffy could say something Kendra interrupted.
"I can't believe dat you all are fool enough to try to rescue a vampire. We Slayers are meant to kill dem, not save dem."
"You're new here." Buffy said as she marched up to Kendra and got in her face. "So let's get something straight, Angel has a soul and he loves me. That's all that matters. Now either you're with me or against me?"
Kendra glared at the older Slayer for a second, before she nodded and said. "I'm with you."
"Okay." Xander said as he walked between the two. "Let's go back upstairs and talk to Giles. Maybe then we can find away to get Angel back."
With that said the four of them climbed back up the ladder and went to talk to Giles. All Buffy could do was think of Angel.
Spike's Warehouse
Spike bent over Drusilla and stroked her hair as she layed in bed asleep. Feeling the cool hands of her lover she woke up.
"I was dreaming." Dru said with a moan, as she sat up.
"Of what, pet?" Spike asked as he layed down in bed with her.
"We were in Paris." she replied happily. "You had a branding iron." Suddenly they heard a whailing sound. Looking up they saw some Sin Scythe's dragging Angel out of the walls and into their room.
"Your sire, my sweet." Spike said as he stood to his feet and walked up to Angel. After he secured some chains on him and a gag , the Sin Scythe's dumped him and the Du Lac cross on the floor and dissappeared back through the walls.
"My Angel?" Dru asked
"The one and only." Spike said as he walked back to the bed. "Now all we need's the full moon tonight, and he will die, and you will be fully restored." he said as he took her hand and whispered into her ear."My black goddess. My ripe, wicked plum. It's been..."
"Forever." Dru finished for him as they kissed passionately. Angel watched helplessly from the floor, all tied up and gagged. All he could do was strain against his bonds. Dru and Spike then break off their kiss. "Spike, let me have him. Hmm?" Dru begged. "Until the moon."
"Alright, you can play, but don't kill him." Spike replied with a smile. "He mustn't die till the ritual."
"Bring him to me." Dru told him as she started to clap her hands. Spike picked Angel up from the floor and forced him over to Drusilla. She grabbed him by the chin and started to look him in the eye. "You've been a very bad daddy." She told Angel, as she slapped him across the face. Angel could only stand there, powerless to do anything.
As Spike left the room, Drusilla ran her hand across the lid of an elegant wooden box labeled 'Holy Water'. She sang quietly to herself, as she lifted the lid and took out a small crystal pitcher.
"The lamb is caught in the blackberry patch." Dru said as she approached Angel. "My mummy ate lemons. Raw." She said as she kneeled next to him. "She said she loved the way they made her mouth..." she ran her hand down and up his chest. "tingle. Little Anne." She let some of the holy water trickle onto his chest. It steams and burns like acid making Angel jerk his head back in pain as he stifled a scream.
"Her favorite was custard... brandied pears." she continued to say, enjoying the way her Sire's flesh burned.
"Dru..." Angel started weakly.
"Shhh!" Dru said sternly as she stood up and climbed on the bed next to Angel. "And pomegranates. They used to make her face and fingers aaall red." She then reached over his shoulder and let more holy water dribble onto his chest. Again Angel gritted his teeth in pain, but won't let himself scream out loud. "Remember? Hmm? Little fingers. Little hands. Do you?"
"If I could..." Angel managed to get out as he shivered in pain.
"Bite your tongue!" she interrupted him angrily. "They used to eat cake, and eggs, and honey. Until you came and ripped their throats out." she said sweetly as she poured the rest of the holy water onto his chest, making Angel scream out loud in agony.
"Say 'Uncle'." she said as she grabbed a pitcher of holy water. "Oh, that's right, you killed my uncle." Just as she was about to pour the whole thing on his chest, Spike came into the room.
"That's it, then." Spike said making Drusilla look up at him. "Off to church."
"It makes pretty colors." Drusilla said as she stood to her feet and pointed at Angel's blood and smoking chest.
"Pft! I'll see him die soon enough. I've never been much for the pre-show." Spike replied as he reached up to untie one of Angel's bonds, while Drusilla put away the holy water and got her doll Miss Edith.
"Too bad." Angel said weakly. "That's what Drusilla likes best, as I recall."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Spike asked as he stepped over to the other bond.
"Ask her." Angel replied. "She knows what I mean." As he said that Drusilla stood behind Spike and looked over his shoulder. Confused at what Angel is talking about he turns his head to face her.
"Well?" he asked.
"Shhh!" Dru said to Angel. "Grrrruff! Bad dog."
"You shoulda let me talk to him, Dru. Sounds like your boy could use some pointers. She likes to be teased." he said to Spike as he finished untying the other bond and threw it to the floor.
"Keep your hole shut!" Spike yelled in outrage as he stood over him menacingly.
"Take care of her, Spike. The way she touched me just now? I can tell when she's not satisfied."
"I said SHUT UP!" He yelled as he grabbed his grand sire by the throat, lifted him to his feet and held him against the bedpost.
"Or maybe you two just don't have the fire we had."
"That's enough." Spike said as he pounded his other hand into the wooden railing of Drusilla's bed, grabbed the piece that broke off and held it up to stake Angel.
"Spike, no!" Drusilla yelled out in fright making Spike hold back. Angel tried to goad him on with a stare, as Drusilla stepped over to Spike and gently put her arm on his shoulder and snuggled up to him. "Shhh."
"Oh! Right. Right, you almost got me!" Spike said realizing what Angel was doing. "Aren't you a 'throw himself to the lions' sort of sap these days. Well, the lions are on to you, baby. See, if I kill you now you go quick, and Dru hasn't got a chance. And if Dru dies your little Rebecca of Sunnyhell Farm and all her mates are spared her coming-out party." he said as he squeezed Angel's throat.
"Spike, the moon is rising. It's time." Drusilla said as she danced around happily.
"Too bad, Angelus." Spike said as he smiled from Dru to Angel. "Looks like you go the hard way. Along with the rest of this miserable town." Spike kept holding Angel against the bedpost as he and Drusilla engage in a passionate kiss.
Willy's Bar
After talking to Giles, the group decided that they should probably talk to Willy the Snitch to see if he had any information. As Buffy and Kendra walked into the bar, they scanned the room and saw that no demons were inside.
"Hmmm... it must be a slow night." Buffy said as she looked back at her new friend.
"I still can't believe, I'm doing dis." Kendra said as she glared at Buffy. "Angelus was one of de most feared vampires in de world and now you're dating him and you want us to rescue him?"
"You're right, he was Angelus." Buffy said as she got in Kendra's face again. "But now he's Angel and I'm getting really tired of keep having to tell you that."
"Whoa! There's a lotta tension in this room." Willy said as he showed up from the backroom. With a growl Kendra pushed him out of the back room and onto the floor.
"Doesn't anyone just say 'hello' where you come from?" Buffy asked with a raised eyebrow. Kendra just turned Willy over on the floor and grabbed him by the shirt, getting ready to punch.
"Dis one is dirty! I can feel it!" Kendra replied as she glared down at Willy.
"That's really good for you, Percepto Girl," Buffy said as she reached down and lifted Willy up. "but we're not gonna get anything out of him if he's, oh, say," she suddenly slammed him into the bar. "unconscious. Where's Spike hiding?" she asked as she looked over at the weasel.
"I don't know anything, Slayer." Willy said as he started to shake. "I swear on my mother's grave. Should something unfortunate happen to her." Before Buffy could respond Xander and Trish strolled into the room looking perturbed about something.
"Buffy, another one of those assassin's attacked." Xander said as he walked up to them, not noticing that Willy was now starting to sweat rapidly.
"Slayer, I promise I don't know nothing!" Willy shouted as he squirmed in her grasp. "Just let me go, or he's going to kill me." he said as he pointed at Xander. Buffy altered her gaze from Xander to Willy, then finally decided on her friend.
"Xander, what the hell is he talking about?"
"I don't know." he replied, confused himself.
"Willy, you better start talking."
Flashback
Willy whistled tunelessly to himself as he cleaned some of his blood encrusted beer mugs, behind his bar. As he reached for another glass to clean, a shadow cascaded down over him. As he looked up he saw that it was the boy from the Slayer's group, Xander if his sources were right.
But something seemed off about the boy. His eye's seemed darker then the clothes and the duster he wore.
"Whiskey." Xander said simply as he stared straight ahead, not even looking at the barkeep.
"Get out of here kid." Willy said nonchalantly as he went back to cleaning his glasses. "You know I can't serve you any booze."
"I said I want Whisky. Now!" Xander demanded as he slapped on the bar, splintering wood as he did so.
"Hey, meatbag." a big green demon with horns said from the far side of the room. "Why don't you get the hell out of here, before I decide to have a midnight snack." he said causing other demons in the bar to laugh.
"Why don't you make me leave?" Xander challenged not bothering to look back at the demon. Enraged the horned demon stood to his feet and with the speed of lightning, ran towards Xander. The only thing was...Xander was faster.
Still not looking at the demon, Xander whipped his hand into his duster and pulled out Ebony. Just as the demon made it up to the bar, Xander had his gun leveled at it's forehead.
"Be seeing you." he quipped to the surprised demon as he pulled the trigger. The whole bar was silent as green demon blood and brain matter scattered and hit the walls. As the now headless demon fell to the ground, Xander scanned the bar. "Does anybody else have any objections?"
"You stupid, human." another demon, just like the first one Xander had killed, stood up and said. "That was my brother." as he too ran up, Xander let loose an unslotch of bullets that hit, killed or dusted almost every demon in the bar. As those fortunate enough to have lived crawled out of the bar, Xander turned around and leveled his gun at Willy's head.
"Can, I have that whisky now?" he asked as Willy wet himself. After giving him some of his best stock of whisky and watching him leave, Willy looked at the assorted demon blood and bodies that littered his bar. After wetting himself again, he fell to the floor unconcious from shock.
End Flashback
"It took me almost a week, to clean out my bar. After what he did no self-respecting demon will show up here ever again." Willy told them.
"Xander did you really do that?" Buffy asked nervously. She had trouble with just a few vampires, but Xander had killed a room full of demons without breaking a sweat.
"I have no idea." Xander informed her. 'That must have happened during the two days, I can't remember.' he thought to himself.
"Just great." Buffy said as she threw her hands up in disgust. "Now we're never going to find Angel."
"I know where he is." a woman's voice said. Looking over to where it came from, they saw an old elderly woman with greying hair, wearing a black dress.
"Who are you?" Buffy asked. There was something about the old lady that just didn't seem right. But Buffy was desperate.
"That doesn't matter child. What matters is that you save your boyfriend."
"Where is he?"
"He's at that old church on Thomas Street. If you hurry, you can save him."
"Ummm...thank you." Buffy told the woman as she and the others ran out of the bar.
"Oh, don't thank me yet child." the old woman said to herself, as a feral smile appeared on her whithered face. "You have no idea what's to come." she said as she morphed into Buffy, winked at Willy, and blinked away.
"I really need to get the hell out of Sunnydale." Willy said to himself as he fixed himself a drink.
The nave of the church
Spike walked up the main aisle from the altar with a burning incense censer, as the rest of the order of Taraka guarded the door.
"Eligor. I name thee. Bringer of war, poisoners, pariahs, grand obscenity." He started the ritual as he turned back to the altar. Angel and Drusilla are both strapped together to a chain that hanged from the ceiling. Angel's right hand was tied to the chain above his head. "Eligor, wretched master of decay, bring your black medicine."
"Black medicine." Dru repeated. Spike sat the censer down on the altar and picked up the Du Lac Cross with his gloved hand.
"Come." he said as he held up the cross upside-down. "Restore your most impious, murderous child."
"Murderous child." Dru repeated after him. He then grabbed the downward-pointing tip of the cross with his other hand and yanked down, pulling out a dagger. He layed the rest of the cross back on the altar.
"From the blood of the sire she is risen." He took Drusilla's left hand and raised it to Angel's, and she clasped it. "From the blood of the sire, she shall rise again."
With one swift stroke Spike stabbed the blade through their hands. Angel screamed in agony as a blindingly bright pink light emanated from their wounds. A pulse of energy spreaded out, and then the light died back down to a faint glimmer as Angel's strength began to ebb from him into Drusilla. She droopped backward, feeling Angel's energy flow into her.
"Right, then!" Spike said nonchalantly. "Now we just let them come to a simmering boil, and remove to a low flame."
Suddenly the doors to the church exploded off of it's hinges. The force of the door coming down squashed Norman, the worm assassin, and killed him. Debbie, the cop assassin, tried to take out her gun but Xander took his sword off of his back and chopped off her head. As Spike looked up he saw Buffy, Kendra, Giles, Xander, Oz, Willow, and Trish enter the room.
"Bloody hell." he said to himself. "Sin Scissors... Shadows attack." he yelled out. As soon as he did about twelve demons appeared out of the walls.
"Buffy, me and the others can hold these guy's off." Xander said as he slashed at a demon with Rebellion. "You and Ken, stop Spike." nodding her head in thanks, Buffy and Kendra managed to get out of the web of demons in time to see Spike take Drusilla off of the alter.
"So Spike did you really think I was going to let you live after you tried to hurt Angel?" Buffy asked.
"S'pose I didn't." Spike said with a shrug as he layed Drusilla on the floor. "But after I get me girl back to full health, you were gonna die along with Angelus."
"We should not converse with dem," Kendra interjected. Drusilla's eyes locked on hers as she stood to her feet.
"No," the vampiress whispered. "You're not to be here. Your blood was so delicious..."
"You'll not have me blood tonight, vampire." Kendra said as she raised up her stake.
Suddenly Drusilla's eyes flashed golden and her vampiric visage revealed itself. She hissed and charged at Kendra, with her hands outstrecthed.
Kendra spun on her heels and as Drusilla passed her, she stabbed her in the heart with her stake. Perhaps the most dangerous vampire that Angelus himself had ever sired blinked in confusion. Then her game face dissappeared and her beautiful human face showed itself. In the space of a second she looked sadly from Spike, to Angel.
"Daddy," she said, and burst into ash.
"No!" Spike screamed. He let out a choked sob that turned into an animalistic growl.
"You bitch!" he screamed, as he ran in a blur towards the jamaican slayer. He was atop of Kendra in a second, with his hands in a tight grip around her neck. The stunned Slayer barely had time to bring up her hands in defense. Nevertheless, Spike was slowly choking the life out of her. Buffy tried to help, but some Shadows that Giles group didn't kill came after her.
As Xander killed the last of the Sin Scissors he heard a strangled cry. As he looked over he saw Spike strangling Kendra. "Damnit." he whispered to himself.
"Xander go." he heard Giles' reassuring voice in his ear. "Me and the others have it from here." he said as he stabbed another shadow with his sword.
Seeing that they had everything under control Xander ran over grabbed Spike and threw him off of Kendra. The Jamaican Slayer kicked up to her feet easily, and rolled her head around on her shoulders. She shared a look with Xander, silently letting him know that they were on the same page. They nodded, and together charged at Spike. Just as they were a few feet from each other two Sin Scythe demons came out of the shadows and took Spike under the arms, kicking and screaming into the shadows, where they faded into the walls.
Just as suddenly were all of the demons there, they all dissappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"What happened?" Giles asked as he and his group ran over to Xander. As he explained what happened to Giles, Buffy ran over to help Angel.
Spikes Warehouse.
Spike angrily threw boxes and furniture around as he started to cry. The love of his unlife for over a hundred years was dusted within a blink of an eye, right in front of him. As he sat down and started to cry, he picked up a scent in the air.
"Dru?" he asked as he looked into the shadows. As he did so, his black goddess stepped out of the shadows.
"Fret, not William. I'm 'ere." Dru said as she danced crazily over to him.
"Dru, I thought you were..." he stopped talking as he walked right through her. "Who the 'ell are you?" he asked.
"She's my sister, Spike." Ahriman said as his voice filled the air. "She's the First."
Harris Manor
As the party Xander was throwing, because of the demise of Drusilla, started to die down Kendra pulled Xander to the side.
"I must return to me homeland tomorrow." she told him. "But I wanted to say tank you for saving me life...again."
"Not a problem." Xander said as he gave her a quick hug. "And you don't have to go if you don't want too. I can talk to Giles and get him to talk to your Watcher and you can stay with us."
"I...I don't know." Kendra said giving it some thought.
"Kendra look, I know that you don't think that you should have friends, but you have them now." he said as the both of them looked at the rest of the Scooby Gang laughing and having a good time. "We're in over our heads here Kendra and we need your help. I'll give my life for anybody in this room, because I love them and they're my friends. My family. And that includes you too, Kendra. I would give my life for you in a heartbeat."
"O...okay." Kendra said getting kinda nervous. She was never allowed to talk to boy's but Xander made her feel comfortable. "But, only if me Watcher agree's for me to stay."
"You're staying?" Trish asked happily as she walked up. "That's going to be cool. We could be friends and we could go shopping for clothes together and everything." she said as she put an arm around Kendra's shoulder.
Xander just chuckled at the look Kendra had in her eye's when Trish mentioned shopping. His laughter quickly died as Trish looked at him and glared.
"I don't know what you're laughing about buster." Trish said as she walked up to him. "You're coming shopping with us too."
"What did I do?" Xander asked as he started to pout with frightened eyes.
"It seems that our plan is coming together nicely sister." Ahriman said as he watched Spike drink himself stupid.
"Yeah, the sacrifice of the demonic seer is complete." Buffy/First told her brother. "All we need now is for Xander to fall for our trap and you'll be released onto this world."
"I already have a plan in motion." Ahriman informed her. "Now it's just the matter of setting up the right scene."
