A/N My mom and my baby sister were in a car accident yesterday. She's not hurt badly, but she's still hurt nontheless. Just pray for her right now please... That's also part of the reason why this chapter is short. I apologize for that.
Also this is going to take place before and then after the episode, I only have eyes for you. I also apologize for this chapter being a little bit choppy, but there was no other kind of way that I could get it done.
And to BAKAMAN, no Angel want turn into Angelus in this fic. That storyline get's used in almost every fanfic that I've seen and it's getting a little old, so I decided to do something else.
And to kirallie, yes Dante will be in the story, but he comes in much later. And Xander will be the one to find him. You can say that he'll just drop right in front of his feet. lol.
Chapter 17
I Only Have Eyes For You
Sunnydale Library
Night
"Tank you for meeting me here." Kendra said to Xander as she sat down next to him at the library table.
"No problem." Xander replied. "I'm a little confused about why you wanted to meet me here alone though."
"I...I..wanted to talk to you about a couple of tings." Kendra said nervously. "It's about me future."
"Ohh...me and Trish have a bet that you're gonna be a model or an actress." Xander interrupted happily. He loved it when Kendra wanted to talk about her future. He was still surprised though that she only talked to him about it and not Trish or any of the others.
"A model?" Kendra asked surprised by the interruption. "Why do you tink, I would choose a job like dat?"
"Have you looked in the mirror lately?" Xander asked incredously. "I hate to sound like a perv here by talking to my sister like this, but you're totally hot." he said causing her to instantly blush.
"No...no..I don't want to be a model." Kendra told him as she lost her smile. "I was tinking about being a detective."
"Well what's wrong with that?" he asked. "There's nothing wrong with wanting to help people."
"Because, I don't tink dat I'll live to see dat dream come true." Kendra said as she stood to her feet and quickly walked out of the room. With Xander hot behind her heels.
"Hey!" Xander said as he grabbed her by the shoulders and spun her around to face him. "I told you before that I'm not going to let anything happen to you. We're a team Kendra. You, me, Giles, Trish and everybody else. We watch each others back, remember?" he asked as he pulled her into a hug.
"You're gonna live a long and happy life, do you hear me?" he asked as she nodded into his chest. "I promise."
"Okay." Kendra said as she pushed off of him gently. She hated all of that mushy stuff. Especially by doing it in front of Xander. "I almost forgot, I need a book from me locker to finish me homework. I'll meet you back at de car." she said as she dried her eyes and started to walk off.
"Oh, and Kendra." Xander called out making her turn around.
"Yeah?"
"You can't make me disappear just because you say it's over."
"There's no way we can be together." Kendra said as she shook her head and stepped closer to him. "No way people will ever understand. Accept it."
"Is that what this is about?" Xander asked confused. "What other people think?"
"No! I just want you to be able to have some kind of a normal life. We can never have that. Don't you see?"
"I don't give a damn about a normal life!" Xander said angrily. "I'm going crazy not seeing you. I think about you every minute." he said as she stepped to him closer and put her hand up on his cheek, sympatheticly. He in turn looked down sadly.
"I know." Kendra informed him. "But it's over. It has to be." She said as she turned around and started to leave. He then looked up again and started to chase after her.
"Come back here!" Xander growled. "We're not finished yet!" He said as he grabbed her by the arm and turned her around to face him.
"You don't care anymore? Is that it?" he asked.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what I feel." Kendra said as she started to cry.
"Then tell me you don't love me." Xander said as he started to shake her. "Say it!"
"What was that." Trish said aloud, down an opposite hall. Going towards the noise, she hid behind a garbage barrel and peeked out to see Xander and Kendra violently arguing with each other.
"Will that help?" Kendra asked Xander. "Is that what you have to hear? I don't. I don't. Now let me go." she said as she tried to walk off.
"No." Xander said with a shake of his head. "A person doesn't just wake up one day and stop loving somebody."
"Love?" Trish whispered. "What the hell is going on?"
Suddenly a gun materialized in his hand and he took a step back, raised the revolver, pulled the hammer back and aimed it at her. Kendra looked at the gun, and started to shake with fear.
"Love is forever." Xander continued. "I'm not afraid to use it. I swear. If I can't be with you..."
"Oh, my God." Kendra said as she turned around to run.
"DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME, BITCH!" he yelled out after her. "I need you." he said as she took off running down the hall with Xander right behind her. Seeing a door, Kendra burst through it and out onto the balcony.
"Stop it!" Xander said as he came out of the door. "Stop it! Don't make me!" he said pointing the gun at her again.
"All right. Just..." Kendra replied breathing heavily with fear, as she turned around. "You know you don't want to do this. Let's both...just calm down. Now give me the gun." she said as she held out her hand.
"Don't!" Xander screamed. Little was known to him but Trish flew close to where they were. Watching them. "Don't do that, damn it! Don't talk to me like I'm some dumb..." Then the gun went off. Before the bullet hit, Trish pushed Kendra out of the way, but it was to late and the bullet hit Kendra anyway. But as luck would have it, it missed her heart by mere inches.
"James." Kendra said as she looked at Xander and held her hands to her wound.
"Xander, what the hell did you do?" Trish asked as her eyes stared to fill with tears, as she held Kendra's head in her lap. Not getting an answer she looked up to see Xander running off. Laying Kendra down gently, she ran and football tackled Xander from behind, sending them both to the ground and for the gun to go spinning out of his hand, only to dissappear in a cloud of black dust.
"What happened?" Xander asked as he rubbed his sore head.
"What happened?" Trish growled back. "You just killed your sister, you son of a bitch." she said as she started to repeatedly punch him in the face.
"Xander..." they heard a weak voice call out. Stopping in mid-punch, Trish looked back to see Kendra trying to sit up.
"Oh, my God." Trish said as she stood up and ran to her. "She's still alive."
"I don't understand. What..." then it all came back to him. "What did I do?"
Ahriman's Mansion
"It's almost time." Ahriman said to his minions as he prepared the soul spell from the book of souls. "Everything is almost in place."
"What's going on?" Buffy/First asked as she materialed in the room.
"It's almost time for you to become corporeal." Ahriman informed her as he looked up. "Now choose a form."
"I'm already in it." the First said as she smiled at him.
"Good. William get ready." Ahriman said as he telepathically informed Spike. "It's almost showtime."
Twenty minutes later
Sunnydale Memorial
The entire Scooby Gang stood outside of the waiting room, to hear about Kendra. Even Trish's father and mother came from LA, using a slip gate. As Miss Harris was finally about to sit down after fifteen minutes of pacing, the doctor that was operating on Kendra walked into the room.
"Doctor, how is she?" Jessica asked as she immediately walked up to him.
"We did all that we could." the doctor said as his mouth went dry. He hated this part of his job. "The bullet missed her heart, but the bleeding was too extensive."
"Doctor what are you saying?" Jessica asked getting a bad feeling about what he was going to say.
"Miss Harris, I'm sorry." the doctor said as he put his hand on her shoulder. "But your daughter is dead."
"No..." Jessica said as she immediately started to tremble. Kendra wasn't in her life long, but she enjoyed every second...every minute of being her mother.
"Mom, I'm sorry." Xander told her with tears in his own eyes as he tried to pull her into a hug.
"Don't touch me!" Jessica immediately shouted as she whirled on him. "This is all of your fault." Jessica said as she started to slap him on the face. "How could you... you said that you loved her how..."
"Miss Harris." Giles said said as he pulled her off of Xander.
"She's gone." Jessica said as she weakly fell into Giles' arms. The rest of the gang stayed silent, except for Willow, Trish, and Cordelia who sobbed to themselves. Seeing that everyone was in their own world of reflection of Kendra, Xander turned to walk out of the room only for Thomas to put a restraining hand on his shoulder.
"Where are you going?" Thomas asked sternly.
"I...I... can't be here right now." Xander replied as a tear fell out of his eye. "This is all my fault."
"Forget about that right now, son." Thomas told him. "We can still save Kendra."
"W...what?" Jessica asked, as she overheard their conversation.
"All you have to do is give her the ressurrection stone." Mrs. Stone answered. "Provided you still have it of course?"
"Yeah, it's at..."
"Don't waste time saying where it is." Thomas interrupted Xander. "Just go and get it now. If we don't give it to Kendra in the next thirty minutes, she'll stay dead."
Boston Mass.
A few minutes before Kendra's death
Linda Randle quickly dropped her telephone down on the ground as she got the news from the Council that she was waiting to here. She knew that there was a reason that she didn't trust the man that Faith had brought over. Something about his name just seemed so familiar. But now she knew why. It was because William Winters, was the human name for one of the most infamous vampires in the world. William the bloody, or most recently Spike the slayer of slayers.
As Linda ran into the direction she knew Faith and Spike would be patroling in, she saw the two of them kissing each other. Not knowing what else to do, Linda started to scream out Faith's name in warning.
For the first time in her life, Faith stood out of a fight so she could watch William take on two vampires at once. The two had been getting close the last few weeks but Linda, Faith's Watcher had been suspicious of the man from the beginning.
As William staked one vamp, he didn't see a third one sneaking up behind him from the shadows. As Faith ran up behind it and easily staked it, she was surprised to see William stake his at the same time.
"So luv, I see you were watching my back." Spike said as walked out of the dust cloud and regarded Faith.
"You don't have a problem with that do you?" Faith asked with a cocksure smile.
"Not at all, luv." Spike replied as he pulled her into a hug. As the two started to kiss, lost in thier on passion, Faith barely registered someone calling out her name. Ending her kiss with Spike, she looked behind herself and saw her Watcher running and frantically calling out her name.
Before her Watcher could reach her, two robed figures jumped out of the shadows and grabbed her. Before Faith could run to help, Spike grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back.
"Sorry, luv." Spike said as his smile dissappeared only for his vampiric visage to take it's place. "But it's the end of the road."
With a scream Faith felt as the life was being drained out of her. Her stomach suddenly started to flip flop and she felt new...no an ancient form of power enter her body. But it was too late, as Spike stopped draining her body, slit his wrist and made her drink from it.
Ahriman's Mansion
sametime
"Yes!" Ahriman almost screamed in excitement as he held up the muo-ping jar with Faith's soul in it. The Judge was just a pawn, this was Ahriman's true plan. He needed the soul of a Slayer. Mumbling something in latin her soul distinguished from the jar and started to surround Buffy/First.
With almost lightning speed, the soul went all around the First's body even as it started to solidify. As the soul dissappeared into the world of nothingness, the First slumped over to the floor unconcious. Finishing off the spell, Ahriman ran over to her and picked her up into his arms.
"Are you okay?" he asked, strangely concerned.
"Never better." Buffy/First replied back as she opened up her eyes.
"Good. Now with our combined powers we can soon be able to ressurrect Lord Mundus. And then our plans will take fruitation."
"Yeah, but first I need some sleep." Buffy/First said as she snuggled closer into her brothers shoulder.
"Of course." Ahriman said as he walked into another room with her. "But please tell me you're not going to go by Buffy?" he half joked.
"Please." the First said as she made a little pfft noise with her lips. "In fact." she said shaking her head until her hair colored changed into a dark brown. "I don't want her to even exist anymore."
Three days later
Harris Manor
Even after the gang had used the resurrection stone on Kendra, the doctors had wanted to keep her for observation any way for a couple of days. As soon as she had gotten out and went home, she walked in on a surprise party they had for her return. But the one person she had wanted to see again was nowhere around.
Walking through her crowds of friends, even people she didn't know from school, she walked out onto the back porch and saw him sitting on their swing set.
"Penny for your thoughts." Kendra said as she sat next to him on the swing.
"Oh, Kendra it's you." Xander said as he looked up at her with red rimmed eyes. "I'll leave you alone." he said as he attempted to stand, only for her to put a restraining hand on his shoulder.
"You've been avoiding me, every since I got back from de hospital." Kendra realized. "Why?"
"Because, I killed you!" Xander said forcefully as fresh tears came to his eyes. "Mom and everybody blames me for that. I...I didn't mean to do it. I promised." he said as Kendra pulled him into a hug. Now it was her time to comfort her big brother, like all the times he had comforted her when she was sad or afraid.
"Nobody blames you for dat." Kendra said as she patted him on the back. "Mom didn't know dat we were under a spell. But dat's all over with now. I'm still alive and noting' bad is going to happen."
"I wouldn't say that, luv." a familiar voice said from the shadows. Looking up Kendra and Xander saw Spike and a pretty raven haired girl wearing leather pants and a duster with nothing but a black sports bra underneath, stepping out of the shadows. "Because I believe a lot of bad is going to happen."
