A/N Xander finally gets his other devil form.
Chapter 15
Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered
A loud clammering could be heard deep in a cave. Must and decay filled Kendra's nostrails as she scanned deep down in a vast pit. She watched in awe as the raging Turok-han surged up and over the chasm, snarling and growling as they ran for her.
Looking over at her brother and at her best friend Trish, she swung her red and silver Sycthe, just as the demon army attacked.
Kendra awoke with a gasp as she had the same dream again. For the last couple of weeks it had been the same thing. Wiping he sweat off of her forehead, she reached over and drank some water on her nightstand.
It wasn't so much, about the horrible demons with the decaying clothes that had her worried. It was the weapon that she was weilding in the dream. She knew that she had never seen it before in her life, but for some reason it seemed familiar to her. It called to her.
Her decision made, she stood to her feet and walked out of her room.
"Xander...Xander." Kendra whispered as she shook him gently.
"What...I'm up, I'm up." Xander groused as he opened his eyes. "Ken, what's wrong?" he immediately asked as he saw the troubled look on her face.
"I had a bad dream." Kendra said as she sat down next to him on his bed.
"Come on Ken..." Xander said sitting up. "Aren't you a little too old, to still be scared of dreams?" Xander asked teasingly.
"It wasn't a normal dream." Kendra said as she tried to remember what happened in it. "I tink it was a Slayer dream." she said instantly causing him to wake fully up.
"What happened?"
"Me, you, and Trish were in some kind of wierd cavern." Kendra started as she closed her eyes to relive the dream. "We all heard loud clammerings in a huge chasm and an army of dese tings were coming to attack us."
"Do you know what they were?"
"Dey looked like an ancient form of vampire, dat Mr. Zabuto showed me a picture of long ago." she said causing Xander to scowl at the mention of her old Watcher. "But dat isn't what was troubling about me dream."
"Then what was?" Xander asked confused. 'As if an army of ancient vampires wasn't enough.'
"Dare was dis weapon dat I was carrying. It was some kind of red and silver axe."
"Why is that so troubling?"
"Because it's calling to me."
"So what do you want to do about it?"
"I know where it is." Kendra said as she stood to her feet. "And I have to go to it now. Tonight, and I need you to come with me."
"Are you sure about this?" Xander asked as he looked at his alarm clock. "It's already 11 o'clock and we have school tomorrow."
"I've never been so sure about someting in me whole life."
"Alright." Xander replied seeing how sure she was of herself. "I'll tell mom that we're leaving." he said as he started to gather some clothes. "Then so we want miss school, we'll use that slip gate maneuver that Trish's dad taught us."
"Okay, I'll get ready." Kendra said as she walked to the door and then stopped. "Tank you." she said over her shoulder as she walked out of his room.
Sametime
Jonathan paced nervously outside of his childhood friends house. He was helplessly in love with Kendra, but he was so afraid to say...well anything to her. Knowing that he needed help, he knocked on his friends door. After a few moments she answered it.
"Jonathan?" Amy asked as she opened her door. "Do you know what time it is? What do you want?"
"I...I need your help Amy." Jonathan replied nervously as he shifted from foot to foot. "I need your help with a love spell."
"A...a love spell?" Amy asked nervously with a laugh. "Why are you asking me to help you with one of those."
"Because, I was told your mom was a witch." he said suddenly confident. "And I'm willing to bet that it runs in the family."
"Fine." Amy said as she glared at him. "Come in."
Harris Manor
"So where do you think it is?" Xander asked as he pointed at a map of California.
"It's in dat place." Kendra said as she pointed to a small place on the map.
"Hmmm..." Xander said as he snatched up the map. "It's in a place called Gilroy. I already told mom, that we're leaving and that we'll be back before school starts." he said as he sat down on the floor. "So let's get this show on the road." he said as the two held hands.
Concentrating and mumbling the greek incantation, under their breath's a red vortex opened in the room. Gathering the map and their respective weapons, they jumped through the portal.
"A love spell?" Amy asked as she closed her bedroom door behind her. She had to sneak, Jonathan into her house because her dad had gotten off from work only moments before.
"Yeah. You know the basics." Jonathan said as he sat down on her bed.
"Well, that kind of thing is the hardest." Amy explained as she sat down next to him. "I mean, to make someone love you for all eternity?"
"Whoa! Whoa, back up." Jonathan said as he waved his hand and shook his head. "Who said anything about eternity? I...I just want her to like me." he said as he began to fidget.
"Well, then I don't get it. Why don't you just ask her out?"
"Because, I'm a nerd Amy." Jonathan said meeting her gaze. "I'm tired of being rejected. And girls as beautiful as Kendra..."
"Alright." Amy said, her heart going out to her friend. "I'll need something of hers. A personal object."
"Already got it." Jonathan said with a smile as he held up a hairbrush. Looking at her friend wierdly, Amy took the brush and started to gather the ingredients for the spell.
"The air here is so much cleaner then in Sunnydale." Xander commented as he took deep breath's of the fresh night air in Gilroy. The portal didn't take them exactly where they needed to be, but they were close. According to Kendra anyway, since she was leading the way.
"Yeah...dare it is." she said as she pointed to a building off in the distance. Looking to where she was pointing, he saw an old building. It looked sort of like an old church mission from those cowboy movies, he used to watch as a kid.
"Well here goes nothing." Xander said as he walked past her and knocked on the door. As Kendra waited nervously behind him, a monk with a dark brown robe answered the door, holding a candelabra.
"Yes may I help you?" the monk asked politely with a smile.
"Um...I'm sorry to bother you, sir." Xander said clearing his throat. "My name is Xander and this is my sister Kendra." he said pointing behind him. "Now, I know this is going to sound wierd, but she had a dream that she found something in your monastary."
"That doesn't sound wierd at all." the monk said as he opened the door even further. "God, uses us all in different kinds of ways. Now please come in." he said as they walked through the door.
"My name is Father Charles." he said as he walked them through another room.
"Sorry too bother you this late." Xander told him.
"Not a bother at all really." Father Charles told him. "Me and my bretheren were just having late night prayer. Hmmm...where did your sister go?" he asked causing both of them to look around. Going back into another alcove, they saw her looking closely at a statue.
"The virgin Mary." Xander said under his breath.
"Very good eye." Father Charles told him. "That statue has been there for almost one hundred years."
Suddenly Kendra touched a secret lever on the side of it, causing the statue to swing out of the way, revealing a secret compartment behind it.
"Amazing, we didn't know that, another room existed behind there. How did she know..."
"Like I said..." Xander said as he put his hand on the older man's shoulder. "She had a dream. Do you mind if we go exploring in there?"
"No..no be my guest." Father Charles said as he handed him the candelabra.
"You ready to do this?" Xander asked as he walked up behind her. Not saying a word, she took the candelabra from him, as a large piece of tapestry fell from the wall. "What does that mean?" he asked as he tried to read the inscription. "Non tibi est. Ei solae tractare licet."
"It's greek." Kendra said as she started to translate what it meant. "It is not for thee. It is for her alone to wield."
Amy's Room
Jonathan's holding a candle and sitting bare-chested and cross-legged on the floor inside a large red symbol for woman painted on the floor. Three red vertical stripes are painted on his chest. Amy's on the other side of the room, where she's waving the hair brush over her witch's brew, which is boiling in a beaker over a Bunsen burner, her father bought her when she was little.
"Diana... goddess of love and the hunt... I pray to thee. Let my cries bind the heart of Jonathan's beloved." she said as she lowered the brush into the brew. "May she neither rest nor sleep (the brew sparks) until she submits to his will only." The flame of the burner then became huge as the power of the spell emanated from the beaker and swirled above it and between her hands.
"Diana, bring about this love and bless it." The swirls of energy began to return to the beaker and disappear. "Blow out the candle now!" Amy mock yelled to Jonathan, as the spell's power started to dissipate.
Before he could comply, some wax melted off of the candle and into his lap. With a yelp, he jumped off of the floor as the candle fell into Amy's brew and fizzled out.
"Jonathan!" Amy whined. "You messed up the whole thing."
"I'm sorry." Jonathan said as he tried to wipe the hot wax off of his lap. "May...maybe we can try this again."
"Amy... is everything okay." a voice called out, instantly making Amy pale.
"That's my dad. Go." Amy said as she stood to her feet to clean up.
"But he's coming up the hallway." Jonathan said as he struggled to put on his shirt.
"Quick...climb out the window." Amy said as she flung it open.
"But..."
"Just go." Amy told him as she pushed him out of the open window. Luckily for Jonathan there were some bushes outside of Amy's bedroom window, or he would have broken his neck from the twenty foot fall.
Ahriman's Mansion
"No...no..." Buffy/First growled angrily as she paced in Ahriman's Library area.
"What's the matter with you?" Ahriman asked as he took a sip of virgin's blood and read from an old poetry book.
"Somehow they've found out where the Slayer's Scythe is."
"What!" Ahriman growled as he stood to his feet. "But it's to soon, they..."
"It's the Jamaican Slayer and her brother." Buffy/First realized.
"Well, I'll take care of that." Ahriman said as he merely snapped his finger.
"What did you do?" the First asked as she gave him a look.
"Let's just say, after their experience they'll have Arachnophobia." Ahriman said as he went back to reading and drinking his cup of blood. Giving her brother another look, she walked over behind him and read over his shoulder.
Kendra and Xander stared in awe at the axe sticking out of a huge boulder. Finally the voice that spoke to Kendra quieted as she approached it.
"Dis is what I saw in me dream." Kendra said as she ran her hand down it's shaft. (Get your mind out of the gutter guys.)
"Well pull it out, Arthur." Xander said with a grin. Sending her brother a glare at the reference from the King Arthur stories, she did as he adviced and easy lifted the red and silver axe out of the stone.
"I guess it was meant for you." Xander commented with a snicker, even as Kendra stopped examining the axe and glared at him.
"Quiet you." Kendra said jokingly. Then the earth began to shake, nearly knocking them off of their feet.
"What the hell?" Xander asked as another trimmer struck, taking the earth away from under them. As they fell into the dark abyss, their screams echoed throughout the room.
Secret Room
Level 219
True Forms
A black portal opened above a large cathedral and with a scream from Xander and Kendra, they both fell hard on the ground.
"Where are we now?" Kendra asked as she got off of Xander and took a look around. The room was huge and looked like a grand cathedral from the time of the sistine chapal's creation. Except it looked different, almost like it was warped somehow.
"I have no idea." Xander said as he dusted his clothes off and looked around. "But I don't want too stay. I'm really getting a bad feeling about this place."
"You feel it too?" Kendra asked as she looked up at him and then picked up Gemina and her new Slayer scythe off of the ground.
"SON OF SPARDA!" a horrible almost possessed like voice grumbled, nearly shaking the ground as he spoke.
Looking around the room, they tried to determine where the voice was coming from but the voice bounced off of and echoed all throughout the room.
"I'll deal with whomever dat is." Kendra said as she put Gemina on her back and brought up her new bladed weapon.
"No, I got this." Xander said as he unsheathed Rebellion and pulled her behind him. That was until a twenty foot tall giant tarantula, with a scorpion's stinger, grey skin and molten lava running down it's skin dropped down in front of them.
Pursing his lips, Xander stepped back next to Kendra. "Do you want to run now?" he asked, not taking his eyes off of the demon spider.
"Yes please..." Kendra muttered in disbelief as the two ran.
Looking further back into the room, they decided to start with the door to the left of them. As they walked up to the door, flames of white colored faces appeared around it, dancing furiously. Ignoring it, Xander reached for the door only for the faces to come together as a hand and try to grab him.
"Damnit!" Xander shouted as he looked back at Kendra.
"WHAT'S WRONG SON OF SPARDA?" the giant spider asked. "ARE YOU AFRAID OF YOUR OWN DEATH?"
"We ain't scared of you charlotte." Xander said even though his voice squeaked a little as he said it.
"Speak for yourself." Kendra mumbled under her breath.
"I AM PHANTOM." the spider corrected him. "AND I SEE THAT YOU HAVE AN INSULANT TONGUE JUST LIKE YOUR BROTHER."
'My brother?' Xander thought to himself. 'This guy is off his rocker. Damn, I'm thinking about what a giant spider is saying to me.'
Suddenly a chime like noise filled the air, snapping him out of his inner dialogue. Looking up he saw three, five foot tall rock like monsters appear out of nowhere. As one of his father's memories came to him, he recognized them as Savage Golems.
"You take those three on." Xander said as he twirled his sword around. "This creep is mine." and with that he ran towards Phantom as Kendra ran to engage the Savage Golems in combat.
As the three Golems slowly charged her, Kendra spun, her moves almost ballet-like as the blade from the Scythe bit into their flesh. She decapitated one and stabbed another through the chest with the pointed wooden end of the shaft. Both instantly disintegrate into ash. The third grabbed her from behind but she flipped up and over, then brung her blade around in an arc, slicing through its face. As the dust dissipated, Kendra turned to see Phantom pick Xander up by his throat.
As she ran to help him, she suddenly stopped as she heard the sound of a heartbeat. But it wasn't hers, it was coming from Gemina. Unsheathing it from her back she looked at it and saw it shimmer. Not knowing what was going on, it flung itself from her hand and flew to where Xander was holding up Rebellion. As Gemina turned into pure flame, with a brilliant flash of light it combined with Rebellion, turning it into another sword.
As the blade of the sword itself, took on a smaller shape it looked more like a katana. Only small similarities of Rebellion now remained. The depiction of the dragon on the handle of the sword was still there and Kendra's red gem from Gemina was now on the bottom of the hilt of the sword.
Blinded by the light, Phantom flung Xander twenty feet away, where he crumbled next to a pillar, and shielded it's eyes. Not affected by the mysterious light, Kendra ran and started striking the gigantic spider with her scythe. Chunks of flesh, fur and lava spewed out of it's wounds as Kendra struck hard and moved fast, cutting into it's flesh.
Getting control back over himself, Phantom opened his mouth and energy started to gather in it. Feeling the power of the attack coming, Kendra dodged out of the way as he unleashed his power.
Projectiles of lava shot out of his mouth as he tracked Kendra's movements. Feeling that she was going to die, she closed her eyes and brought up her scythe as a makeshift shield. Feeling only a little heat, Kendra opened her eyes to see a golden barrier around her holding back the fire. Looking down, she saw that it was the necklace that Xander gave her for her birthday, that was making the barrier.
Her happiness was cut short though, as Phantom put more force into his attack. As the fire rang out and exploded around her, she was flung off of her feet and crumbled unconcious against a pillar like Xander.
'Damn, my head.' Xander thought to himself as he rubbed at his temple. His other hand feeling on metal, he grabbed his sword and stood to his feet. Then he did a double take, as he looked at the sword he was holding again.
It felt like Rebellion, but yet it wasn't. Twirling the katana in his hands he felt an untold amount of power coming from it. His new fascination with the sword was cut off, as he heard Kendra's scream and saw her flying through the air, where she fell unconcious on the floor.
"No!" Xander growled as he started gasping, and shaking with emotion. It did something to him, to see his sister hurt. He was aware that his hair had turned white, but there was a new source of power running through his veins. Looking down in his hands, he saw that his new sword was also radiating with power.
He felt that the strange power flowing through him had unleashed demons. That he was becoming something he didn't recognize. Realizing his new physical powers... strength and agility, Xander's horror began to turn to exhilaration as he found himself capable of things he never dreamed of.
Xander's body began to shimmer, from normal to an all black beast. As it happened a few more times, his body began to crack with black energy. Not having control over himself, he began to grow black wings on his back, that wrapped around his body like a large cocoon.
"COME OUT AND PLAY." Phantom taunted as he watched Xander's little display. If he had been paying better attention, it would have felt the vast increase in power.
Suddenly, the demon Xander stretched out his wings, revealing his new form. He was still the same height, but he was now almost entirely a marbled black color. Even his duster was different, seeing as though red and black lightning crackled around it. His once liquid brown eye's were now an orange and red color, like it belonged to some kind of reptile.
"Let's rock!" the devil form of Xander growled as he twirled his sword and ran forward.
Trying the same attack that he did on Kendra, Phantom shot out a volley of lava at Xander only for him to deflect the lava away with his sword. Seeing that Xander was getting a little to close for comfort, he struck out blindly with one of it's leg's, only to find Xander gone.
Looking about the room, in confusion, Phantom then heard the constant flapping of wings. Chancing a glance upwards, he saw Xander hovering high above him, charging up his pistols.
"Rain of fire." Xander said as he started to descend, shooting off round after round out of Ebony and Ivory as he went. Blasts of lightning and fire, pumped out of the guns, even as Xander bounced off of Phantom's back, flipped in mid-air and landed gracefully on his feet.
Even though, Xander was inflicting lots of damage on him, Phantom managed another attack. The call for souls. Lava fountains shot up, out of the ground and Xander merely walked on the outer side of the fire circles, still firing from his glocks.
Seeing an opening, he twirled his guns and holstered them. Taking his katana off of his back, he held it infront of himself, as he closed his eyes and concentrated.
"Full Power!" he yelled out as he ran forward as if in slow motion. Using the last of his power, Phantom shot out red flames out of his stinger. Seeing the attack, Xander waited to the last possible minute, jumped over the attack and swung his sword full force at his enemies head. The force of which made, Phantom explode in a cloud of dust.
Just at that moment Kendra chose to wake up.
As the smoke cleared, Kendra saw a light from a hole in the roof, shining down on a silouhette. The figure was in a crouched position on the floor, with lava running down into the ground behind him. Kendra then realised that the thing had a pair of massive black bat wings and it carried a sword. The sword, that Xander had, before she was knocked unconcious.
'What have I done?' Kendra thought to herself. 'I got Xander killed, all because of dis stupid ting.' she thought as she picked up the Slayer's Scythe.
As the demon stood to it's feet, it's wings folded and wrapped around him, leaving the only thing you could see on him, his head and his boots.
"What did you do to me brodder?" Kendra asked as she pointed her Scythe at it. Not waiting for a reply, she ran at the demon spinning her Scythe wildly. Ducking under the attack, the demon raised his hand up high and started to speak.
"Ken stop...it's me." Xander told her. Even though he was still in demon form, Kendra looked deep into it's eyes. She didn't really know what she was looking for, but she suddenly saw a spark of something familiar.
"Xander?" she asked.
"Yeah." Xander said as he walked towards her. "Power down." he said as the dark energy went back into him and his 'trigger' was cut off.
"Now come on, let's go home." he said as they walked towards the door. The dancing faces were still there, but as soon as they walked up close to the door, the barrier shattered like glass. Opening up the door, they found themselves back in the monastary.
Early Morning
Harris Manor
Jessica Harris was awakened by the constant pounding on her front door. She was sleeping like a baby, even though her children didn't come back home last night, and scowled when she was abrutly woken. Opening the front door she saw that it was...
"Jonathan?" she asked as she instantly smiled.
"Y...yes ma'am." Jonathan said nervously. "S...sorry for waking you up so early."
"Oh, don't worry about that." Jessica said as she opened the door wider to let him in. "Please, come in."
"I...I wanted to know if Kendra was here?" Jonathan asked. He had to know if the spell worked, before he asked Amy to perform it again.
"Oh, um she and Xander aren't here. They went out late last night and didn't come back." Jessica said as she got very close to Jonathan, making him back up a little. "What's wrong, Jonathan you see nervous?"
"Um...ummm..."
"Oops." Jessica said as she pushed her ample breasts forward making the top buttons on her shirt pop off. Suddenly the door bell rung. Taking his eyes off of her partially exposed breasts he ran for the door and saw that it was Trish.
"Trish...Trish I'm so glad that you're here." Jonathan said nervously as he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into the house. It wasn't that he didn't find Jessica attractive, but it just made him nervous to have women come on to him so strong. Plus she was Xander's mom and if he found out, he would break him in two.
"Hello, to you too Jonathan." Trish said as she gave him a look and closed the door behind herself. Then she gave him another look."Hey that's a nice shirt." she said as she felt on his chest.
'Oh yeah, Xander's so gonna kill me.' Jonathan thought to himself. 'Man what the hell is going on here?'
"That's the same thing, that I was thinking." Jessica said as she felt on his chest as well. Before poor Jonathan could say anything, he heard the front door opening.
"I'm telling you Ken..." Xander was saying as he walked through the door and held it open for her. They had spent the rest of the night at the mission, because they were too tired to do the spell that would send them home. "If we hadn't of went, I would never have gotten these new moves or my new sword Excalibur." he said as he spotted his friends. "Hey guy's what's up? You're here early."
"Xander, I'm glad you're here. Where have you guys been?" Jonathan asked trying to change the subject of how good his shirt looked.
"Well, Ken had a dream and we..."
"That's very fascinating." Trish cut Xander off. "Now I want to hear from a real man." she said as she moved up behind Jonathan and did something unseemly with her hands, making Jonathan yelp.
"What the.."
"Hey, I saw him first." Jessica said as she pushed Trish away from Jonathan. "He's mine."
"Yeah right." Trish said as she brushed her clothes off. "Why the hell would Jonathan want you old lady? I mean look at me." she said as she twirled around and presented her body.
"What the hell is going on here?" Xander shouted. "Jonathan do you have any idea... Jonathan?" Xander asked as he looked around the room to find Jonathan already gone.
Later that day
Sunnydale High
Jonathan ran through the halls of Sunnydale High with a scream. Looking over his shoulder he saw that the girls of the school were still running after him. He enjoyed it at first when all the girls of the school were paying attention to him and checking him out, but soon he found that it was very dangerous.
Especially when Cordelia and Harmony started pining over him. And that's when he thought about Amy's love spell and the accident that he had caused. 'Damn, this is all my fault.' he thought to himself. 'And worse yet the girl, I want isn't even affected.'
Ducking down a corner, he ran for the safety of the library. If anybody could figure out how to help him, it would be Giles. Only when he got into the library, he saw that he was nowhere to be found. As he turned to leave out of the room, to search for Amy instead, he ran smack dab into her.
"Amy, I...I'm glad I ran into you." Jonathan said as he tried to calm himself down. "I need your help...I...I need you to reverse the love spell."
"Okay." Amy said giving him a mischeivious smile. "Let's go somewhere private and talk about it."
"Hello all." Giles said as he entered the room with Miss Calendar.
"Hey, Mr. Giles we were just leaving." Amy said as she attempted to walk past them. That was until Miss Calendar stepped in their path.
"Hey, Jonathan nice shirt." Jenny said as she rubbed at the fabric of it. "Hmmm...have you been working out?"
Seeing something wrong with the situation Giles grabbed Jenny by the arms and pulled her away and behind him.
"Oh..." Jenny said with a pout as she started to reach for him.
Licking her lips in a sexy way, she stared at him with pure desire in her eyes. Giles looked at her, at Jonathan, back at her, and then glared at Jonathan.
"You little pillock, what have you done?" Giles asked.
"A love spell?" Giles growled at the end of Jonathan's tale. "Do you have any idea how serious this is? People under a-a love spell, Mr. Levinson, are-are deadly. They lose all capacity for reason."
"Rupert, maybe I need to talk to Jonathan alone." Jenny suggested. Giles then looked back at her rubbing her hands down her face, her neck, and then her body.
"Amy you will assist me immediately to find a counter spell to this." Giles informed her. "Mr. Levinson, don't leave the library."
"But, Mr. Giles..." Amy said with a pout.
"Now, Miss Madison." Giles said as he took her by the arm and started to lead her into his office.
Jenny rubbed her hands together, alone at last with Jonathan, and started to seductively sashay her way up to him. He stepped back from her, even as Giles came back up to them, took her by the hand and led her back towards his office. Jenny moaned and reached her hand out to Jonathan as Giles led her away.
"No!" she cried out as he closed his office door.
"Hey Jonno." a voice said behind him. Startled he turned back and came face to face with Buffy and Willow.
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." Buffy apologized. "Hmm, you're starting to look good." Buffy said as she looked him up and down.
"Sexy even." Willow said as she started to circle him.
"Hey, bitch you have a boyfriend." Buffy growled at Willow. "Back off, and let a real woman get at him."
"What did you say to me?" Willow asked. Before Buffy could say anything, Willow punched her hard in the face.
"Oh...oh yeah." Buffy said as she put her hand on her cheek. "I've been waiting a long time to say this but, it's clobbering time." Buffy said as she punched Willow back in the face. Before the two could start fighting, Xander and Kendra ran into the room and held the two back.
"What's going on h..." Xander was going to ask until he looked back and saw Jonathan. "You..." Xander growled as he let go of Willow and lifted Jonathan off of his feet by his shirt. "I don't know why but I have a feeling that this is all of your fault. Now start talking."
"I...I... found out that Amy was a witch." Jonathan admitted. "I made her do a love spell, but it was supposed to be for a specific girl."
"It had better have not been my girl." Xander warned. The memory of Trish touching Jonathan fresh in his mind.
"No of course not, it was Kendra." he blurted out before he could stop himself.
"Me?" Kendra asked as she let Buffy go. "Why did you do dis for me?"
"Because." Jonathan said as Xander let him go. "I...I really like you and I was a...afraid that you would reject me if I asked you out." he said ashamed.
"So you're saying that this is all a game?" Buffy asked. "You make me feel this way and then you reject me? What am I, a toy?"
"No Buffy, I'm sorry."
"Not as sorry as you're gonna be." Buffy said as she was about to run forward to hurt him, only for Xander to grab her and hold her back.
"To be honest Jonathan, I was attracted to you." Kendra said after a moment.
"Was...?" Jonathan asked. The past tense was never good.
"Yes was..." Kendra told him. "If you had of come to me and asked me out, I would have probably said yes. But you didn't do dat. You tried to invade me mind and make me love you, I...I can't like somebody like dat."
"We've found the counter spell." Giles said as he entered the room, with Jenny and Amy behind him. "Now Mr. Levinson, sit down before we can start."
Jonathan gave one last look at Kendra, who dropped her gaze, and then sat down on the floor.
Later that day
Harris Manor
Kendra sat between Jessica's legs on the floor, as the older woman curled her hair with a curling iron.
"I still think it's a shame that you didn't go to the dance with your friends." Jessica said as she curled another lock of her daughter's hair.
"I was hoping to go with somebody, but...nevermind." Kendra said glumly.
"Is that somebody, Jonathan?" Jessica asked.
"How did you..."
"I'm your mom honey." Jessica said with a wide smile. "I'm supposed to know these things." 'Plus I saw you checking him out.' she silently thought to herself.
"But how can I trust him now?" Kendra asked. "Especially after what he did?"
"Men are just crazy all together, sweetie." Jessica informed her. "But, I will say something about the one you like. Because of the spell he could have had any girl in town, even me. And I mean come on, look at how sexy I am." she said causing both of them to laugh. " But seriously, out of all of the girls in town, he still wanted you. That's gotta count for something right?"
"I guess..." Kendra replied as she went back to looking at the tv.
"Go to the dance." Jessica told her as she stood up.
"What?" Kendra asked as she looked back at her.
"Just trust me. Go to the dance and have a good time."
"B...but I don't have anyting to wear." Kendra said as she stood up.
"That's already taken care of." Miss Harris said with a grin. "Just look in your closet. Now go before the dance is over."
Giving her mom a look, Kendra ran out of the room to get ready. Watching her girl run off Jessica picked up the phone and started to dial a number.
The Bronze
Oz and Devon's band Dingoes Ate My Baby, are on stage and playing a song called Pain. The rest of the group (even Giles and Jenny) are out on the dance floor, dancing and having a good time.
"So do you forgive me?" Trish asked into Xander's shoulder as he pulled her in close to dance.
"For the thousandth time yes." Xander informed her as he kissed her on the top of the head. "You were under a spell, it wasn't your fault. I am mad at Jonathan though. I can't believe he would do something so lame like that."
"Give him a break, Xander." Buffy said as her and Angel danced over to them. "I bet if you weren't dating Trish, that you would do that to a girl you really loved."
"Never." Xander said, feeling strangely as he said it.
"Speak of the devil." Giles muttered as he saw Jonathan enter the Bronze.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Xander asked hotly.
"Xander calm down." Trish told him.
"Well, I'm sorry, but when a guy puts the whammy on my family and my girls I tend to get a little perturbed."
"Just look at him Xander, I can tell that he's sorry." Willow said as Jonathan spotted the group with a pained look on his face and walked in another direction. "See look, he probably doesn't think that we're friends with him anymore."
"I'm not sure that we are." Xander muttered, as the song switched to a slow dance. Pulling Trish close, she fell deeply into his embrace.
"Wow!" Xander said loudly as he saw a figure walk through the door. Looking up to see what caught her boyfriends attention, she saw Kendra standing at the door wearing a red form fitting, strapless, prom looking dress. She also had her hair in curls and was wearing lipstick. If Kendra could have looked more perfect, Trish would have thought that she was a model. The boys of the club parted like the red sea as she walked through the crowd. Seeing the surprise her mother told her to look for at the Bronze she walked over to him.
'God, why did I even come here?' Jonathan thought to himself as he started to pace. 'Miss Harris called me here and told me to wait, that's why. But still just to look at my friend's I can tell that they don't want to hang around me anymore.'
His inner thoughts were cut off as someone tapped him on the shoulder. Turning he saw one of the most beautiful sights of his life.
"Kendra?" he asked. "D...does this mean that you forgive me?" he asked nervously.
"I...I don't know about dat." Kendra told him. "Just dance with me." As the two started to slow dance, they didn't know that high above them someone was watching them all through the skylight.
"Enjoy, your time now brother." Vergil said as he scanned the crowd and spotted Xander. "Because in a few days, my full power is going to return to me and when that happens..." he said as he stopped to chuckle. "I'm going to kill you all."
A/N I originally planned to make two seperate chapters out of this. One was when Kendra and Xander went in search of the Slayer's Scythe, and the other one the Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered episode, but I still think it worked out good in this chapter. Also there is going to be a Vergil vs. Xander fight in the next episode, so be prepared for that.
Also when Phantom was talking to Xander about his brother he wasn't talking about Vergil, he was talking about Dante. And to clear up what went on in my crossover cover story for Sparda and how Xander came about this is what happened. Sparda got it on with Dante's mother and had Dante, but when he went to go and fight Mundus for the first time, instead of him and Tokar being sent to a hell dimension, they were transported to a parallel universe, the Buffyverse. While there they tried to rebuild their life and fight evil on the side.
That's when Sparda and Jessica got it on and had Xander. When Sparda went to fight Mundus again, something else happened to him. I can't say what yet or it'll spoil the surprise. Oh and Xander now has the power of lightning and fire.
