Chapter 12: Are you okay?

Buffy and Kennedy's room

Buffy found Kennedy lying on the their bed crying, and not the loud sobs, just little whimpers…almost as if she didn't want to be heard. Kennedy looked at Buffy and then rolled over so she couldn't see her tear stained face. Buffy bowed her heard slightly before she walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, by Kennedy's feet.

Buffy really didn't say anything she just sat there in silence wondering what Kennedy could be going through. If her sister had turned out to be one of the potentials she didn't know what she would have done. Because Dawn would have been going out every night fighting against the forces of evil, and she could show favor to her because that wouldn't be fair to everyone else who had to go out and fight.

"Aren't you going to say anything?" Kennedy asked still not turning around to look at her blonde lover. "Isn't that why you're here?"

Buffy looked at Kennedy's back and sighed before she turned back to face the door that she had only moments before walked through. "Honestly I just came up here to see if you were okay, and seeing as your not died I figured you were fine…see no talking involved." She said. Kennedy turned to look at her. "I don't want to know anything until you're ready to talk," Buffy said turning around to meet her girlfriend's gaze.

Kennedy smiled as she turned back toward the window. "She was a slayer, she was called about three years back…I think it was before you were brought back and Faith was 'dead' for a little while. The watcher Council kept it quiet because they didn't want it getting around that there were three slayers instead of two," she explained. "Anyway my parents didn't want to accept what she was so she ended up moving to England, the watcher council said they could train her until a watcher was ready for her," she paused. "That watcher never got a chance because one night out on patrol she was slaughtered by a group a vampires, I think my watcher told me that it was about ten vamps or so," she stopped as more tears came to her eyes. She was comforted when Buffy laid down behind her slipped her arms around Kennedy's waist and bringing her close. "That's why I train so hard and why I always want to be out there fighting, because I feel as if I am fighting for her," she said as she turned around in Buffy's arms. "I'm not ready to see her," she added.

Buffy placed a kiss on her forehead. "I know your not and the truth is I wouldn't be either." She said. "But you're a different person now, instead of her protecting you, it is your turn to protect her…show her what kind of women you have become," Buffy said.

"How come you always know what to say?" Kennedy asked with a hint of a smile.

"Because I am just cool like that," Buffy said as she brought Kennedy's lips to hers. "You know I think it's going to be kind of cool finally getting to met one of your family member since you already know all mine," Buffy said as she got up of the bed.

"Where are you going?" Kennedy whinnied.

"I am going to leave you alone for awhile, giving you some time to think," she said. "When your ready to join us again we'll all be downstairs," she said with a smile.

Kennedy watched as Buffy exited the room. She would never understand what Buffy saw in her but she was thankful to the powers that be that she saw something, and that they were able to have a go at this amazing relationship. Kennedy sat up on the bed and looked at the blank wall ahead of her.

What will Renee say when she finds out that I'm a slayer now? Will she be mad or will she be glad that I am now able to take care of myself? I know she is going to be shocked when she finds out about me and Buffy and our relationship, but honestly I don't care anymore because I love Buffy and Buffy loves me, that's all that matters.

You'd think that I'd be a little freaked out to know that my dead sister is coming back to life to help us defeat and very powerful evil, yet I'm not. Maybe it's because I have been hanging around with Buffy and all her friends. Plus I've been a slayer for almost a year now so I have seen my share of weirdness.

Kennedy looked around the darkened room and it scared her a little bit when she felt comfortable in the darkness. That she felt safe. Kennedy swung her legs off the edge of the couch and felt them hit the cold floor. This is her life now, she had a beautiful girlfriend that loves her and great friends. Why should it matter that if her sister shows up it might ruin everything for her?

Kennedy stood up off the bed and walked toward the door. She was ready to deal with this head on, no more hiding. All that mattered to her was sitting downstairs waiting for her to come down.

Downstairs

When Kennedy entered the room she noticed that Giles and a green demon thing were setting up a magic circle. She looked around at everyone and they all seem to be okay with the fact that there is a green demon in their living room. Buffy was sitting on the far chair, closest to the window, Kennedy made her way over there.

"Hey you," she said when she caught Buffy's eyes.

"Hey," Buffy replied. "Glad you could join us, and just in time for the fun to start," she said with a smirk. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"Never better," Kennedy answered as she took a seat in front of Buffy. Yup this is all that matters in her life.

Giles began the spell; it was some language that no one but the green demon understood. Soon wind started to blow around the room even though no windows were open, papers started to fly everywhere. Before their eyes a vortex opened and slayers started walking out. Many of them no one recognized but there were a couple that two slayer recognized.

Buffy got up from behind Kennedy and walked over to the vortex were the girls were lining up. She smiled at all of them before she came to the one that she knew and missed. "Hello Kendra," she said as she brought the other slayer into a hug.

Kennedy did the same thing as Buffy until she came before the one that she knew. The one that was taken way before her time, before she was ready. Her sister, Renee. "Hello Renee," Kennedy said to her sister.

"Kennedy? Oh my God Kennedy?" Renee said as she brought her little sister into a hug. "What are you doing her I was told that I was going to be helping the slayers with a new big bad," she said as she let go of her sister.

"I am a slayer," Kennedy said as she watched as her sister's eyes widened. Okay now that's its out in the open the question is…how is she going to take it?
