Chapter Eight: Arriving in Sunnydale

Xander sat beside Faith on the plane from Boston to Los Angeles passing the time by listening to her tales of life as a slayer before he showed up. He'd stop listening if she wasn't watching him so closely to make sure he was paying attention.

"So what's the deal with you running away? The way you talked to English sounded like something major went down." In the past Xander had avoided this topic but he decided a few answers might help.

"I sent Buffy's boyfriend to hell"

Faith blinked at him.

"Um Boytoy would you mind explaining that story to me a little more, cause it sounds like you iced a guy for no reason?"

"Angel was a vampire cursed with his soul in order to suffer for killing a clan's beloved daughter. He showed up in Sunnydale around the time Buffy did and started giving her information that could help us out. No one figured out he was a vampire until later. Last year when Buffy turned seventeen they decided to have sex and may I just add here getting it on with a hundred and some year old corpse is just yuck inspiring it also had the downside of causing Angel to lose his soul. It got to the point Buffy wasn't able to kill him and Willow attempted a soul curse spell she had discovered left by… A friend sadly it failed the first time and led to Giles and I getting captured and giving Angelus the information he needed to awaken a Demon capable of sucking the world into hell. I escaped later on and went after Angelus and found he had just started the portal opening"

"What happened?"

"Willow from the hospital tried the spell again and it worked but the gateway was still growing. Picking up the sword Buffy dropped and being told Angel's blood was the key I had no choice but to stab him and condemn him to hell to save the world"

"So you left because of guilt?" she asked

"Yes and no. There are things you don't know about me Faith that I know you will learn once we get to Sunnydale I couldn't face Buffy or Giles after that I felt like I didn't deserve to be there. I left them the truth recorded on a tape and decided to leave" he answered.

"So you learned to become an ass-kicker while traveling the world Boytoy?"

"No that comes from Halloween when I was possessed and merged with the spirit of a sociopath genius ninja who murdered his entire clan. I gained his memories and the ability to use the techniques of his world. You know that magic that Lindsey can't figure out how I do? I also got some other things out of it and if you want I can give you some chakra training in Sunnydale might help you if you can use it."

"Wicked awesome Boytoy but don't be expecting anything in return"

"You wound me dear lady assuming I had some ulterior motive to my offer of aid" he said acting as if he'd been stabbed.

"Nah Boytoy that isn't where I'll stab you" she teased.

Before he could comment a stewardess tapped him on the shoulder and he turned to regard her.

"Excuse me Mr. Giles but there's an urgent call being forwarded by the airline can you come back with me and take it?"

"Sure" he replied and got up and followed her back.

Taking the phone he expected it to be Giles as he was the only who knew he was coming back at all.

"Mr. Giles or is it Uchiha now? My name is Lilah Morgan from Wolfram & Hart I hope you remember me from our last meeting."

"This is becoming an annoyance Miss Morgan I have already declined your firms offer bothering me will not change my mind." He said getting rather irked by them.

"Oh this isn't about our offer though it still stands if you're interested, No this is about a job we would like to get your talents for."

"This isn't a setting I do business in and I'm on my way home you should've gotten in touch with me sooner"

"The service would need to be rendered in LA and we know the conditions you work under and this meets all of them. If you'll just hear me out I'll have a car waiting when you land and a suite reserved for your companions while we meet."

"Meet me in the Airport lounge, you get ten minutes to make me care" he said then hung up.

'I know I will end up regretting this' he thought as he went to sit back down next to Faith.

"What's the deal everything five by five?"

"I don't know but I get the bad feeling you'll find out the rest about me sooner then I wanted."

"You know when you say it like that I get this really bad feeling that I'm going to get shot."

"If we're lucky" he muttered.


Airport

Alexander left Faith and Lindsey promising to return in half an hour at most, which would give them time to gather the luggage and rent a car or find a taxi. Finding the lounge he sat down at a table and began waiting for his appointment. This was not how things were done and to try to make a deal face to face was a quick way to end up dead. An option he was seriously considering using in this case.

He didn't wait long as the client in question took the seat across fro him and set her purse on the ground. A chakra created magnetic field instantly flowed around him to disrupt any and all recording equipment focused on him.

"At least your prompt" he said.

"You seem ruder then the last time we met Mr. Giles."

"You must bring out the annoyance in me Miss Morgan. Now what is it your firm wants of me that warrants us meeting?"

Passing a folder to him she watched as he opened it and began flipping through pictures and reports. If he was surprised or even disgusted he hid it all to well for her tastes. Even the most seasoned of people who saw this file showed some signs of being effected by it.

"You have piqued my interest but why exactly is your firm whom I guess would deal in helping the people doing this want them stopped?" he asked in an even voice.

"The people shown in the photographs aren't clients with our firm and some have expressed a desire to see them removed from the picture. While not a noble reason to hire you the pictures and records speak for themselves this is the kind of job you do." She replied.

"You're asking for a lot more then a single target who might have security. This is a large number of targets with hostages and weaponry along with a hostile environment." He said his mind already going over stratigies for attack.

"That's why you're being allowed to name your price and then bill us the expenses. Sadly you are the only option we have or else our people would take care of it."

"You'll have my price by sundown along with a list o expenses. If you are unwilling to pay either then the contract will not go through."

"I'll be expecting your call" she replied.

Getting up he simply turned and walked away the folder resting under his arm. He knew the job would be taken but still he'd make the firm pay if only for their reasons behind hiring him. Finding both women waiting he followed them out to a taxi.

"The Regency plaza hotel please" he said as they got their bags in the trunk and climbed inside. He watched both slayer and watcher throw him an odd look.

"Boytoy we're supposed to be heading out to SunnyD not chilling in a hotel." Faith spoke up watching the back of his head.

"Something urgent has come up so I will be staying here for at least another day. You're both welcome to join me for a small vacation my treat besides Faithie I've never seen you in a bikini."

"What exactly is the urgent matter Xander?" Lindsey asked using the name he told her he preferred.

"I'll explain once we're settled but it won't be pretty and it entails explaining something to you and Faith."

'Once again I find myself trusting a girl who I developed an attachment for. Why do women need to be so troublesome?' He thought slipping into silence for the rest of the trip.


Regency Suite

He sat back and watched both women digest his story. Laying out the entire story as he did for the Sunnydale crew and allowing them to make their own determinations.

"So you're a hitter born and raised Boytoy?" Faith asked watching the boy she'd grown to trust.

"Yeah and trust me it's a worse head trip when you wake one day and remember all of it along with the memories of someone like Itachi."

"But you only go after demons right? Kinda like gettin paid to slay?"

"I go after evil more often then not that's the demonic and undead population but at times a human can do far worse. I kill the people who deserve death and judgment but because of their power never receive it. People who delight in killing or so apathetic to what they do the cost of life doesn't matter to them. A human has a soul but not all humans are good and those who aren't if it's bad enough I deal out the vengeance of the newborns to them." After saying that he got up and moved to the window letting his eyes stare out at Los Angeles.

"This is quite startling to hear about Xander" Lindsey finally was able to get out.

"So which is it this time?" Faith asked trying to process how to feel about it all.

"Demons who are using a runaway shelter as a gate into a demonic dimension and enslaving humans as workers before depositing them back here as withered aged husks. Time flows differently there so if you go in a teenager you'll emerge lord knows how old." the anger was clear in his voice.

"No fucking way!" Faith roared at the mere thought of someone being put through that.

"Do you have any proof of this Xander?"

Walking back to the folder he opened it and set it own on the coffee table in front of the couch for them to read for themselves.

He heard Lindsey get up and run for the bathroom and the sharp intake of breath from Faith.

"How many of these bastards are there?" Faith demanded.

"No idea I don't plan to let a single one live though."

"You mean 'we' Boytoy"

"No I mean 'I' Faith. This is a very dangerous job and the odds of dying are pretty high I won't risk you or Lindsey on this."

"Like hell I'm staying behind while you go fight a horde of these things alone."

"She is the slayer Xander it is her destiny to protect the world from things like this" Lindsey added returning from spilling the contents of her stomach in the bathroom.

He shut his eyes and thought about it. At best he was looking at 50 odds of dying in this mission; while adding Faith to the equation raised the odds favorably he still hated risking her life.

"Are you sure this is what you want to do? Because once we get in there I can't protect you"

"I can watch my own back Boytoy besides you get distracted when you do" she joked.

"Fine we move out once I have my gear and the client aggresses to the price I set."

'She's as stubborn as Mireille. Troublesome women'

Picking up the phone he first called his arms dealer and ordered what he would need and then Wolfram & Hart getting a decent laugh out of Lilah Morgan's reaction to the prices. They agreed in the end though.


Family Home

Alexander stood in an alleyway across from the supposed shelter with Faith standing just behind him. He was dressed and armed fully tonight his straw hat glinting slightly as the moonlight struck the metal senbon needles placed in it. Faith was dressed in black leather pants and a blood red shirt that showed off her stomach a pair of swords strapped to her back and at least a few stakes somewhere on her person.

"Get the slaves out once I get started so that we don't have anything between us and them got it?" he asked in a whisper getting a nod in return.

Moving across the street without a sound he stayed in the shadows completely invisible to the naked eye. Peeking inside he noticed the circle of inky black goo the report stated was the entrance to the demonic dimension. Signaling Faith to follow he silently entered and together both were pulled down into the Portal.


Demonic Dimension

Landing Alexander instantly brought up his modular rifle, the clip loaded with hallow points which contained a liquid explosive core. Sweeping left and right he moved forward Faith sticking close behind. Being stopped by a ledge each now had a view of the world below them.

Sackcloth-clad humans ranging from teenagers to elderly were being driven to work by harsh demon overseers. The air was hot and thick with the smell of human torment, sweat, and decay. He could almost feel the rage building in Faith and stopped the on-coming storm from here with a piercing look. Pointing to a line of tired and haggard looking people being led away by an overseer he motioned for her to go after them. Once she had moved on he forced his emotions down and began taking aim.

'Dance with me demons. Dance a beautiful dance to the requiem of your species existence.'

The sound of falling bodies and death filled the dimension a second later.


Faith shoved one of her swords through the back of the neck of the overseer guarding the cells. Ripping the blade out, she watched the body fall over in a bloody mess before opening the cell door's one at a time with the overseer's keys. She heard Xander start shooting and quickly began ushering the prisoners out.

"Who are you?" one of the older slaves asked.

"Parole board seems you all got pardoned now move it!" she replied her blades cutting through another demon mercilessly.

The gate that would normally be blocking their path was already raised allowing them an easy escape route. Faith found Xander had leapt from the ledge and was now unloading round after deadly round into any demon dumb enough to try and attack him with their weapons.

"Faith, get everyone out of here now!" he ordered jumping and landing between the demons and running people his hands releasing the modular rifle and drawing his custom guns.

"You better save me some Boytoy" she returned as she spun around decapitating a demon that stood between them and the portal out of this hellish place.


Play: Ballad of Fallen Angels


Alexander stared down the approaching demons, each wielding an axe of some kind or other blunt and sharp objects that could be found around the area. Running forward his guns discharged the ammunition ripping through demonic flesh before exploding and causing death.

Stopping right in front of an axe wielding demon he dropped low sweeping its feet out from under it and rising in a smooth motion putting a single bullet into its head. Sensing movement behind, he ducked under a wild swing made with an iron bar and spun flooring the demon with a roundhouse kick before putting a shot into its chest. Flipping backward he landed a few feet away from the assembling demon his sharingan flaring to life.

A stake lodged itself in a demons heart as Faith returned from helping all the people through the portal.

"Boytoy we gotta split our way home is shrinking as we speak." She warned.

"The jobs not done yet Faith."

"Place is closing up quicker then a virgin Boytoy, they aren't gettin back out."

"If there is a hell this must be how it smells. I hope you enjoy it for eternity" he said before grabbing Faith and making a seal launching them both into the air in a swirl of wind.


End Song


Landing he rushed after her towards the portal his hand reaching into his cloak for one last surprise. Stopping at the door leading to the portal he unfolded his giant shuriken and let it fly at one of the man molten vats that he'd seen in this world. Not looking to see if it hit he jumped through the portal after faith at the last second.

In fact it did hit the whirling metal blade cutting a deep gash into the vat making the molten material contained within begin flowing out and form a ocean of death as it reached the first and last of the remaining demons.

Contract executed.


Regency Suite

Faith and Lindsey were greeted by a strange sight as the roused from sleep the next morning. In the kitchen humming some tune neither of them had ever heard was Xander, dressed in an apron cooking breakfast for them a genuine smile on his face.

Spinning around he began to plate pancakes down for each of them before taking them to the table and setting them down. Raising an eyebrow at the two women he gave a mock bow before sitting down.

"You seem chipper today Xander." Lindsey remarked as she watched the young man pour himself some coffee.

"Yeah Boytoy don't I've ever seen you like this before Kinda like it too." Faith said covering her pancakes in syrup before taking a bite.

"Well I made a cool discovery last night after we finished."

"What's that? Faith asked in curiosity.

"I think I finally found out where Waldo is."

"You're joking right?"

"Maybe…" Xander said with a lopsided grin before reaching into his apron and pulling a pair of bank books and sliding one to each of the two women.

Faith's eyes nearly bugged out when she saw the amount of money the book said was now legally hers. Lindsey's reaction was much the same and both looked back at the now hysterically laughing Xander.

"Oh man, you should see your faces right now utterly priceless." He was able to get out in between laughs.

"Boytoy is this some freaking joke or something? This is more money then I've ever seen" Faith exclaimed.

"Yes it does seem a trifle excessive."

"My going rate is anywhere from $8,000,000 all the way up to $30,000,000 of course this can change with an assignment and the larger amounts are usually for demons or people with high profiles. Last night was the biggest job I've had to date so the price was far larger and they even paid for the expenses so that was not a cut into the profits. You both helped me out with this job, Lindsey your information was invaluable for Faith and I to plan out the strike and you could've at anytime turned us in to the council in my book that gets you an equal share. Faith I would not have made it out last night if you hadn't come back for me so you deserve a cut as well. So I split money three ways." He explained.

"It doesn't seem right you know getting paid for saving peoples lives and slaying demons. I don't know if I can keep this" Faith said after he finished speaking.

"Watchers get paid for this line of work Faith. Don't see this as putting a price on their lives but merely as a payment for a job well done, a job we were hired to do and were simply compensated for doing. It's your money donate it to charity if you want." Xander said

"In a round about way that makes sense. Faith keep the money and do with it as you wish. I doubt anyone would fault you for that."

"You sure English?"

"Yes sadly the council never really provides for their slayers so it is a wise to keep this money to make sure you can live happily while you can"

Faith nodded and closed the bank book.

"This doesn't make you an assassin Faith. You just helped out a friend and don't expect it to happen again I don't take contracts during the school year unless I really like the job or I need away from everything. Now I think it's time we finally return to my dear Hellmouth home-town."

Faith nodded and smiled her mind already going over how to spend $30,000,000


Sunnydale High School Library

Buffy, Willow, Cordelia, Oz, and Giles blinked as the double doors opened and three people walked in.

"Hey guys did you miss me? How was the summer? Did anyone touch my Twinkies?" Came the voice of one Xander Giles who was carrying a white box in his hands.

Silence and staring was the only greeting he received.

"Wow nice entrance Boytoy I think you may have actually broke them." Faith said laughing at the looks on the Scooby gang's faces.

He was about ready to reply when he was suddenly tackled by a mysterious red streak that then attempted to shatter his ribcage with a hug. The streak was identified as Willow when she began to babble so fast that he doubted any human ear could keep up let alone translate. Getting back to his feet he let his eyes look around at the rest of the group. Oz simply had the same serene look he always wore but his eyes seemed to say he was accepted. Cordelia didn't look bothered more annoyed with his entrance if anything and annoyed that she was even here. Giles gave him a nod and a smile though he doubted he'd get away with that much if and when they went home.

Lastly his eyes fell on Buffy and stayed there. Breaking contact with Willow he approached the blonde slayer but neither said anything for a few long moments.

"Xander"

"Buffy"

"You're back?"

"If you'll let me stay"

"What if I said I couldn't trust you and didn't want you here?"

"I'd leave or just stay out of your way"

"I don't understand what happened to you"

"I doubt you're the only one"

"Did you… Kill anyone this time?"

"Do you really want to know Buffy?"

"… No" she answered.

"How about we just not discuss it? I won't talk about that part of my life and you won't ever mention the Speedo incident ever again?"

"Did you bring me a chocolate?"

"Assuming Willow didn't crush them all"

"Hey!"

"Sorry Wills"

"I still don't know if I can trust you Xand"

"Then let's play it slow until were both comfortable I don't want to lose any of my friends"

"I can live with that."

"Yo! You people forgot about us I don't know if I should be glad or disappointed" Faith yelled.


Unknown Place

A video played on a wall mounted screen showing Alexander fighting in the demonic dimension. The recording stops with a frozen image of Alexander with the sharingan eye activated. The person behind the desk turned to regard the other occupant of the office, while placing several folders out on the desk.

"So you used Wolfram & Hart to test out the boy?" The other occupant asked in English accented female voice.

"Yes Alexander seems reluctant to take any job that he determines came from Soldats. So we resorted to using a third party in obtaining what we wanted, an old trick but it worked." Was the reply.

"I'd be weary too if said organization had taken my memory away and stuck me in the place he was. So how exactly does this concern me? I doubt the boy will come here willingly and I am the best assassin Soldats has until the Noir situation is cleared up."

"One of our lower members has requested our help in making sure his hundred year plan works out. So you're going to Sunnydale to make sure it does and to handle our situation with Alexander. If we lose him it could hurt our strength over all not to mention burn away any bridge we have with Chloe. Fight and test him try to push him over the edge if need be but bring him back, kill him if that is impossible."

"Sounds like fun"


Bronze

"You don't miss the same old routine until you have it staring you in the face" Xander said aloud as he and the others sat on couches around a table listening to Oz's band.

"So what did you do over the summer?" Willow asked.

"I went back to France and thought about thing and came to a few realizations. Nothing to big for my brain to handle" he replied.

"The French government must be desperate for tourism to allow you into the country twice." Cordelia taunted.

"Especially with so many American born harlots like yourself willing to convert into their society. How ever did I get in?" he fired back with mock surprise at the end.

"Fashion reject!" she yelled at him.

"Brunette Barbie doll!"

"Ninja dork!"

"Snob!"

"Charmed twit!"

"Clown!"

"Mall rat!"

"Hey! More then one of us here enjoy shopping you know" Buffy interjected halting the two.

"I'll choose not to comment further then." He said watching the glares the assembled girls sent at him.

"Well it's been fun people but I have 'cool' people to hang out with." Cordelia said getting up and walking away. Xander reached his finger up making a quick line in it.

"Like I said Wills routine can be fun I think that makes she and I even on wins again."


10 days later

A private jet had just finished landing the door opened. Nearby a waiting limousine with a middle aged looking man waited for the occupants. The one individual that exited the plane was a woman wearing a dark blue almost black cloak that hid whatever she was wearing or carrying beneath it. She was of average height and her eyes a sky blue color with a light skin tone. Everything else about her was hidden beneath the cloaks hood.

"Mayor Wilkins I would presume?" she asked in a cultured British accent.

"Gee golly it's such an honor to meet you I wasn't expecting such a famous person to be the help I asked for." He replied in his Cleaver-like voice.

"I will most likely not be the only person called in, though considering one of the people who might cause you trouble I doubt any of them will live very long."

She didn't say another word as she got into the car and opened one of the folders. Inside were pictures of Alexander during his first assassination after Halloween.

'My, what fine work she did and the boy still doesn't know, it will be fun teaching him.'


Library

"I am not going and that is final!" Xander said for the fifth time that day to Willow and the others.

He had been back a week and things seemed to have settled down. Giles and he had talked for days and finally were back to their normal if odd father-son relationship. It was the same with the others though a little strained now and then with him and Buffy. He'd gotten a rumor the other day though about a new vampire in town one he remembered quite well named Mr. Trick couple that with the recent Oz werewolf incident they believed happen and it just had been an odd week.

"Come on Boytoy you can go with me and B, Imagine the looks on every ones faces when you walk in with two hot babes on your arm." Faith offered.

"I don't have a date still I could possibly suffer the embarrassment of being seen with you for one night" Cordelia volunteered.

Xander lowered his head and did not stop his momentum allowing his forehead to loudly hit the wooden surface.

"I don't wanna go" he whined.

"Tough you're going, just don't be jealous when I get called up to be named homecoming queen and have to dance with the king." Cordelia said with finality.

"Hey who said he was going with you, go ask one of the jocks or something we'll have much better fun me and Buffy with him." Faith said.

Xander simply began banging his head on the table as they dissolved into bickering.


Lunchroom

Xander's head began hitting the table repeatedly as Willow watched on.

"Oh come on its not that bad" she said.

He looked up at her before continuing for another minute and then stopping and resting his head in his hands.

"Let's review Wills, not only do I seem to be forced into going to the dance but the two parties now wanting me too are competing for the honor that dance gives out. So now I can't get out of it with the 'Buffy isn't ready' excuse to Faith because wanting to go or not she will force me just to beat Cordelia. I hate you all so much right now."

"It-"She was stopped as Oz put a hand over her mouth stopping her from saying the words.

"Don't you dare say that Wills or I will hide your laptop again. Thanks Oz" he said nodding to the one sane teenager in his life.

Seeing all three girls walking back over from what he termed round four if he counted right he decided to end this now, which reminded him of the fight Faith put up when Lindsey and he had gotten her enrolled in the school. He made sure Oz was between him and the dark haired slayer first this time around. Standing up he slammed his hands down on the table drawing all their attention to him.

"Listen here you troublesome women I am not going to this dance and there is not a thing you can do to change that." He said in his strongest voice.

He gulped as he swore each girl took on a battle aura as red as the sharingan eyes. Knowing when to make a retreat he was gone out of the lunchroom a second later.

But for Xander this was an enemy he could not escape.

'I will not run away. I will not run away. I can't run away damn dead-ends.' He thought as they caught him.


Library

Willow leaned in as she finished tying Xander's bow-tie planning on a kiss but it never came as Xander simply leaned back.

"You shouldn't do that, you're in a relationship and I haven't got those feelings for you Wills, never have never will." He said.

"Sorry" she said looking down.

"You need to let go of your attachment to me Willow. We're friends almost as close as siblings but it can't go beyond that. Sadly it cannot ever go beyond that for me and anyone."

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Oh nothing never mind." He said and grabbed his things walking out of the library.


Mayors Office

"Ladies and Gentlemen I'd like to welcome you to slayerfest '98" Trick said to the assembled group of killers.

The Soldats assassin watched from the corner her eyes evaluating the people invited to hunt the slayers. Not a one of them was in the league of true assassins like her and Alexander, she doubted they were even in the 'Order of Teraka' league. When asked if she wanted to join she had flat out refused and called Trick an idiot. Slayers were built for the hunt and dropping them in the middle of the wilderness would only make them draw on that side of themselves more. Add in Alexander, the werewolf or the witch and you simply cannot win such a contest. She knew exactly how this was going to end and she wanted no part of his failure.

"You realize this plan cannot possibly work don't you?" she asked as the last of the hunters left.

"Keep saying that until I hand the Mayor two slayer heads on a platter." Trick replied and growled as the woman raised an eyebrow.

"So you ARE suicidal then""

"What do you mean?"

"Alexander if anything is loyal and will protect those he deems worthy. If your plan actually worked and you killed one or both of the slayers he would fall on you in seconds and utterly destroy you. It becomes certain if the witch and werewolf help him."

"Isn't that why you're here?"

"No I am here to make sure the Mayors plan works out and no where in them are you being alive a factor."

"I'll deal with this Alexander after I've gotten rid of the slayers he's only human after all"

"In most cases a human is much deadlier then even the devil remember that Mr. Trick"


Homecoming Dance

"What the hell happened to them?" Faith asked as Buffy and Cordelia arrived at the dance looking less then presentable.

"Maybe Willow and I shouldn't have tricked them into using the same limo, looks like they hit a hurricane or each other." Xander replied with a little humor.

Everyone became silent as the Homecoming queen results were about to be announced. Both Buffy and Cordelia perked up when it was said to be a tie, only to look crestfallen when it was called a tie between the other candidates.

Willow went to comfort her friends, while Xander and Faith leaned against the wall laughing.

"So do you like it here in Sunnyhell?"

"Seems kind of quiet compared to Boston."

"It'll get weirder always does."

"So should we go over there and find out what happened?"

"Yeah sure why not I could use a bit of weirdness to balance out this normalcy of this night."

"I think you and B see the world completely opposite."

"What she calls reality is the veil placed over the world? She would prefer to be ignorant and free of responsibility. I can't close my eyes to the things I've seen and or know about just like I can't walk away from the good fight because that means someone else has to die instead of me."

"Maybe you're just nuts?"

"Faith I am no where near sane."

"Good because sane is dull in my opinion."

"The only solace I have is your crazier then me" with that he walked off.

"Hey! Get back here Boytoy." She said chasing after him.

Ending note 1: I'm sorry this took so long to get out.

Till next time
