Chapter 7: Coming home

Slayer Central

Kennedy was sitting at the kitchen table surrounded by people tending to her wounds, she had been hurt pretty badly by Willow. She remembered once when she thought it would be cool to see the evil side of Willow and Willow quickly said that it was not as good and sexy as it sounded. Instead she told her that it was dangerous and many people could get hurt, well Kennedy now knows what the hell she meant by that.

Willow gave her one hell of a beating but she was able to get her out of the house and than eventually she walked away. None of them now why but she just left, without a word she just walked away, leaving the bruised and battered Kennedy lying on the floor. The other slayers finally came out of their rooms and saw Kennedy lying there.

A few minutes ago she finally regained her movement and went over to the couch. The first thing she noticed was that Buffy wasn't home and the second was how much damage the main room was. Than it occurred to her that Buffy didn't know about Willow going evil so if they met half way or even if Willow went to the hospital that Buffy could be in some serious danger.

Just as Kennedy was about to get up and go running of in search of her girlfriend the front door swung open and in walked Buffy followed by two other girls. One that looked like Anya, which is impossible because she was dead and the other one she didn't recognize.

"Oh God," Buffy said as everyone moved as she rushed to Kennedy's side. "It was Willow wasn't it?" she asked and Kennedy nodded. "This is so very, very bad," she added and she expected Kennedy's wounds. She looked around the room and noticed that neither Faith nor Spike where around, which meant that they most have figured it out and left before it happened to them. "Faith and Spike are gone aren't they?" Buffy asked and Kennedy nodded as she looked over Buffy's shoulders.

"Is that…" she trailed off as she squinted. It was harder for her to see in her condition but she was hoping that with Slayer healing she would be ready in a couple of hours.

"Yup that's Anya," she said not even looking to see where Kennedy was looking. From the look on her girlfriends face Buffy just knew it was Anya. "And the other one is Cordelia, Giles said they could be of use to use."

"How by annoying people?" Kennedy asked and Buffy raised her eyebrow as she looked up at her. "What…that's what Anya did when she was alive and what Willow used to tell me about Cordelia…" she just trailed off.

"Hey!" Both Cordelia and Anya said at the same time.

"Kennedy," Buffy said shooting a glare at the two offended women. "That was a long, long time ago when they were like that, but they changed." She paused. "They both copied me and died saving the world." Buffy turned and smiled at them. "They have both changed a lot." She added with all seriousness.

"I know," Kennedy said as she looked at Buffy. "You think we could…" Kennedy trailed off, as she looked upstairs. "I kinds want to lie down." She added when she saw Buffy's eyes widen and she was about to object.

"Yeah," Buffy said as she took Kennedy into her arms and started off toward her bedroom. She didn't look behind her to see the questioning eyes of Cordelia and Anya she just kept walking until they were alone in the bedroom. "So…how did this happen, I mean it was Willow wasn't it?" Buffy asked and Kennedy looked at her a little confused. "When Willow was evil her favorite saying was 'bored now' and that was the last thing I heard."

"Yeah it was her, and may I say…scary." She said as she lied back on the bed. "This is so much better that those chairs downstairs." She said with a sigh.

"Why do you say that…I picked out those chairs." Buffy complained.

"Yeah I know," Kennedy said with a smile. "All I am saying is that downstairs there are a bunch of eyes on me but up here all there is is you." She said, as she looked Buffy dead in the eye.

Buffy looked away as she walked over to the bed and sat down next to Kennedy. "Giles should be back tomorrow and then he can fill everyone in on what the hell is happening around here," Buffy said as she whipped a stray piece of hair from Kennedy's face.

"We'll fix this and get the team back together," Kennedy said grabbing her hand. "And I'll be with you all the way so you don't have to do it alone," she added.

Buffy pulled their hands to her lips and she kissed the back of Kennedy's. "You remember when we couldn't stand to be in the same room as each other?" she asked and Kennedy nodded with a laugh. "I'm glad we got over that," she stated.

"Me too," Kennedy said as she proceed to pull Buffy closer to her. "Can you hold me for awhile, I am felling really weak after I just got my ass handed to me," she said and Buffy nodded as she brought Kennedy into her arms as she lied back on the bed.

Meanwhile Cordelia and Anya were alone with the rest of the slayers that were housed at Slayer Central. Cordelia hadn't yet looked away from the stairs. Anya came over and stood beside her. They both looked up the way Kennedy and Buffy went and both were wondering the same thing. 'What the hell is up with them?'

Cordelia turned and looked at three girls that were sitting on the couch laughing about something that only they knew, because no one else was laughing. Cordelia and Anya walked over to them and crossed the arms over their chests. "What is up with Buffy and Kennedy?" Anya asked bluntly.

They all looked around at each other not sure whether or not they should be the ones to tell them about Kennedy and Buffy's relationship. Sure they wanted to, there girls and girls love to gossip. But the two they were gossiping about could kick their asses in ten seconds flat.

"Tell us!" Cordelia shouted when she saw that they were having trouble deciding what to do. "If you think their scary wait until you see me pissed off," she added.

"Their together," a voice said from behind Cordelia and Anya and when they turned around they saw Xander standing there. "They have been ever since Willow dumped Kennedy…it all started a very complicated way…"

"So it happened in old Buffy fashion," Cordelia said and Xander nodded. "Thought so," the rest of the girls were looking at her funny. "It happened on accident…that's the Buffy way." She elaborated.

Anya walked over to the chair by the phone and took a seat. "So Buffy and Kennedy are orgasm buddies?" Anya asked and everyone looked at her. "Okay…I was just making sure." She said when she noticed everyone staring at her.

Cordelia looked around the room. "Is anyone else switching sides that I should know about?" she asked and Xander shuck his head no. "Good because I don't think I could take it." She said .

Everyone looked at her and before any of them could say anything the phone rang and Xander went to pick it up. "Hello?" he asked as he kept his eyes on Cordelia and Anya. Two women that he had truly loved, both died in the heat of battle, and both back in his life. He had always wanted Cordelia back even when he was with Anya, there was that little part of him that always loved her. Not that he didn't love Anya because he did, but it was that feeling that he had for Cordelia is just like the one Buffy had for Angel.

As Xander listened to the person on the other end of the phone the room became an eerie kind of quiet. Cordelia looked around the room and the small army that the Scoobie Gang had created and in a way she was in awe. She could remember a time when there was just the four of them and they couldn't agree on anything.

When she first found out about Buffy and her real identity she didn't think any of them had a chance a making it…yet here they are eight years later. Sure they had gone through their ups and downs but they still stayed together and Cordelia knew that it would always be this way.

Anya looked over at Xander when he hung up the phone. "Well?" she asked.

"Giles is being released from the hospital." He said, "Cordy can you go get Buffy while I go and get the car?" he asked and Cordelia nodded.

"What about me?" Anya asked after Xander and Cordelia ran off in their separate directions. She had a strong feeling that this time she would actually have to fight for Xander instead of the other women just turning a blind eye toward him. She knew that they had history and getting Xander was going to be a challenge that she is more than ready for.

Cordelia round the corner and now stood in front of the room that Xander had told her was Buffy's. She didn't hear anything on the other side, which was a good thing because she really didn't want to be walking in on anything. She knocked once and received no answer so she just opened the door and what she saw in front of her made her realize just how little she knows about Buffy.

Buffy was asleep on her side with an injured Kennedy in her arms. Though Kennedy was healing and still stronger that any human being Buffy still had a protective arm around her. Cordelia always thought that Buffy was out for herself, which she never really cared about anyone. That she only slayed because she had to, though she knew that it wasn't true she could bring herself to think otherwise, but the scene before had defiantly changed her view of one Buffy Summers.

Cordelia quietly walked over to the bed and looked at a sleeping Buffy. Just as she was about to tap Buffy on the shoulder to wake her Buffy opened her eyes and looked at a startled Cordelia Chase. "How long have you been awake?" Cordelia asked.

"About as long as you walked through the door," Kennedy said from the other side of the bed. "Slayer senses remember," she said as she rolled over and looked at the brunette.

"What do you want Cordelia?" Buffy asked as she has yet to moved her hand from around Kennedy. "If you didn't notice we were trying to rest." Buffy said a little more bitterly.

"Buffy," Kennedy said as she moved away from Buffy and got out of bed. Buffy just started at her as she walked away and into the bathroom.

"Giles is ready to come home," Cordelia said as she to left the room leaving Buffy lying alone in the bed.

Buffy stared at nothing across the room as she listened to all the little sounds. She didn't know when she came so dependant on the attention of others. When she was back in high school she could have cared less if people knew who she was or what she was doing. Yet now she wanted everyone to care…especially Kennedy.

Buffy sat up in the bed and put on her shoes. She might as well go and get Giles out of the hospital so they can begin to figure out what the hell is happening with Willow and everyone and why they are suddenly going evil.

Abandon Warehouse

They all stood in a group, as if they were some kind of army just waiting for their leader to arrive. None of the spoke to each other because truth be told none of them liked each other. Just than some walked through the door and everyone snapped to attention as if the person was some kind of hero or king.

"You have all been gathered for the greater purpose…and that is to bring down the slayer once and for all. All of you here have tried and failed to bring her down and now it is time for us to join forces and bring her down." The person paused. "She has lived longer than any slayer on record and that must end. Now if you notice we have taken from her some of her most trusted allies. One Willow Rosenberg, Faith, Angel and Spike. They have all aided the slayer in her conquests. But now they will bring her down." The person finished. "Any questions?"

"Yeah…who the bloody hell are you?" Spike asked.

"I am the biggest and baddest evil that has ever walked this earth." The person said. "I am an attorney for Wolfram and Hart." The person stated. "My name is Lilah Morgan." She finished.

"And we should be listening to you because?" Angelus asked.

"Because I am the one that brought the evil side out and if I wanted to I could get rid of it forever," she paused. "Plus I could make your un-life a living hell." She added. Angelus just rolled his eyes. "First things first…who has any ideas?" she asked. No one raised their hands. "Oh I see this is going to be fun."

The hospital

Buffy entered the hospital and the first thing she saw was Giles talking to some guy. The guy looked to be in his twenties. Kind of long brown hair with brown eyes…he was dressed like some attorney. Buffy walked over to where Giles was sitting in his new wheelchair.

Lindsey looked up as Buffy approached and the first thing that came to his mind was 'wow'. He smiled and stuck out his hand for her to shake as she got closer. Buffy just looked at his hand and walked past him toward Giles.

"Giles…who is he?" she asked throwing a glance back at Lindsey. She looked him up an down as if she was checking him out but everyone but Lindsey knew that she wasn't.

"His name is Lindsey McDonald and he has some interesting information about out new development," Giles stated. "But if you don't mind I would like to go somewhere a little less public," Giles suggested.

"Sure," Buffy said as she walked behind the wheelchair and started to push Giles. "The whole gang is here, well almost." She said.

"You didn't drive did you?" he asked and Buffy couldn't help the smiled that came to her face.

"No, Xander did," she said as she walked by Lindsey. As she did so she noticed that it was his turn to now look her up and down. Yet unlike her he was checking her out and she knew that there was going to be some serious drama back at Slayer Central once Kennedy finds out that someone is checking her out. "You can come to you know," she said as she saw Lindsey just standing there.

As they walked out of the hospital Giles could see Xander sitting in the car waiting with Anya and Cordelia. He suspected that Kennedy would stay at slayer central because of her injures. Just as the three of them were about to get into the cat Buffy was picked off her feet by an unknown forced and tossed into a nearby tree.

Lindsey came running over to her but she stopped him. "Get Giles home," she said. "Xander! Now!" she yelled as she was once again slammed into the tree. "This is defiantly going to leave a mark," Buffy said as she slowly climbed to her feet. Once again she was picked up and thrown into the tree but this time she stayed on the ground.

Slayer Central

Kennedy came walking downstairs almost fully healed when Xander and the rest of the gang came through the door, along with a new guy. She went over to Giles and brought him into the living room and sat him on the couch. Then she looked around at the group and noticed that someone was missing.

"Where is Buffy?" she asked. She looked around and everyone ducked his or her heads, which is all but the new guy who looked directly at her. "Where is she!" she screamed and he looked back at her. "What happened?" she asked.

"She was thrown into a tree…I'll give you three guess with who did it," Cordelia said as she looked at a angry Kennedy.

"Willow," she said the one word like is was poison. "Call Rona," she called back into the kitchen. "Tell her to get here as fast as she can because I have to go find Buffy," Kennedy explained as she grabbed her jacket and headed out of the house.

They all stood there in silence as the door slammed behind Kennedy. "Should someone follow her…you know with her not being a hundred percent?" Anya asked as she looked around at everyone.

"I'll go," Lindsey said.

"I don't think that is the best idea," Anya said. "You see you were checking out Buffy."

"So."

"Buffy and Kennedy are…well Buffy and Kennedy." She explained as his eyes widened in understanding than she turned to Cordelia. "Will you go?" she asked and Cordy nodded and took off out of the house. "Okay, now to more important matters…" she trailed off as the front door was blown off and there stood Willow.

"Bored now," she said before sparks flew from her hands.

Outside the hospital

By the time Kennedy and Cordelia arrived at the hospital it was dark and they knew that they needed to find Buffy quickly. If they didn't than something bad was seriously going to happen.

When they rounded the corner to where Cordelia said Buffy was thrown they saw the tree but there was no Buffy.

"Where is she?" Kennedy asked getting worried.

"Where's who?" a voice said behind them and when they turned around they saw Angelus and Spike standing there. The vamped out and Kennedy attacked as Cordelia took a step back to get a better fighting position.

Spike attacked her but she was ready for him. Soon there was a full battle going on between the slayer, the former prom queen and the vampires. When Kennedy saw that there was no way they would be able to defeat them without one of them dieing she grabbed Cordelia's arm and took off in the opposite direction.

"Well this is fun," Spike said before they took off after the two women.

Out of the shadows Buffy looked in the direction that they had run off to. Thought she never thought she would think again were running through her mind. Do they think I'm dead? Can I leave this place and find a new life? But then she saw Kennedy look back and her answer was clear. There was no way she was going to leave her, not when they had something special happening. Even if she didn't know what it was yet.

Buffy took off after them but before she got three steps she was tackled and when she turned to look at her attacker her breath got caught in her through. Glory had her by the feet and there was no way that she was going to be able to get to Kennedy now.

"We meet again." Glory said as she stood up.

Slayer Central

Lindsey stood in front of a group of slayers and watchers and it was his time to explain what was happening. He took a seat in the chair that they had provided for him and took a deep breath.

"As many of you already know you friends have started to revert to their evil selves. What was once evil in them is now evil in them once again." He explained. "But it isn't only that, this new evil is bringing back everyone that has ever failed to kill the slayer…so they could try again." She finished.

"Everyone, as in evil hell gods too?" Xander asked and Lindsey nodded.

"So let me get this straight. Every evil fend that Buffy had ever defeated is coming back to kill her?" Rona asked and once again Lindsey nodded. "Damn…that sucks."

"And the ones behind it?" Giles asked.

"My old law firm…Wolfram and Hart." He said. "They want they slayer line destroyed." He added.

"Oh great…it's another one of those," Dawn groaned. For the rest of the night they all sat around silently waiting for the three who where not home to return.
