Chapter 4: I-I'm Sorry Okay?

Kennedy couldn't believe she was kissing this woman. All she knew about her was her first name and that she was a slayer that had a bad past. The reality of her actions had started coming back to her. It had only been a day since she broke up with Willow and here she was kissing another girl that Willow had brought from LA. Guilt started to seep into her mind.

On the other hand Faith loved every second of this. She had never felt like this before. The slayer let her tongue gently slip inside Kennedy's mouth and explored the new territory. She started to think that she could actually go somewhere with this women. Have something with Kennedy that was more than a one-night stand.

The thoughts of Willow came back to Kennedy and how hurt she would be if she found out. 'No she must never find out' she thought. She panicked and pulled out of the kiss. Faith smirked at her but Kennedy's eyes went big and Faith gave her a look of confusion. Kennedy started to back away. Faith took a step forward but Kennedy just kept backing up.

"I-I can't do t-this…" Kennedy said.

The potential then turned and ran leaving Faith, who was still really confused.

"Kenny!?" Faith yelled, but she was already gone.

Buffy froze and watched this whole scene unfold before her very eyes. She couldn't believe Faith would do such a thing…on the other hand she could considering she had slept with all the men that ever meant something to her.

'I have to tell Willow…' She repeated to herself. On one side her instinct told her to tell Willow but her conscience told her to wait and see if Kennedy tells her. 'Then again…if I wait and Kennedy doesn't tell Willow and then she finds out I won't exactly be on the best friends list anymore…well, I'm gonna have to take that chance, give Kennedy the benefit of the doubt…yeah something like that. One thing is for sure though…I have to confront Faith…again.'

Buffy walked across the street to a still confused Faith. Faith was now sitting on the swing rethinking all her moments she had with Kennedy. Buffy walked over so she was standing in front of the younger slayer. Hands on hips, she did look kind of like her mom. Seeing a shadow over her Faith looked up to see Buffy glaring at her.

"What the Hell Faith!? Was that kiss supposed to be apart of the whole 'comforting Kennedy' bit you told me this morning?"

"B it's still morning."

"Don't change the subject!!"

Buffy's patience with this woman was already thin. Faith went back to thinking about the kiss, totally ignoring Buffy. Buffy puffed up in anger, she was in control before Faith came and now everything was getting out of hand on just the second day. Spike didn't even cause this much trouble.

Buffy knew she had to make one thing clear to Faith and there was only one way to tell her that. Buffy cocked her arm back and balled her hand up in to a fist. A split second later her knuckles made contact with Faith's face. The force was enough to knock Faith off the swing and onto the ground.

The slayer walked over so it was as if she was standing over her prey. Faith put a hand to her eye, which she could already feel that it was swelling. Buffy pointed at Faith with an accusing finger before she said the reason for the punch.

"If Willow finds out that this happened by anybody but Kennedy or myself I will finish the job I should have done while we were on top of the high school. Got it?"

Faith looked up defeated for once and nodded her head. Content with her work Buffy turned around and started to walk away. She wasn't far when she heard Faith mumble something. Buffy stopped but she didn't turn around.

"What Faith?"

Faith stood up and sighed.

"I-I'm sorry okay?"

Shocked Buffy turned around and looked at Faith. Faith was in remission though…she could only look at her shoes and couldn't bare to look into Buffy's eyes.

"Do you mean it?"

Buffy returned coldly. Faith looked up and held Buffy's stare before answering.

"Y-yes…I'm mean yes I do. B I've changed a lot. I'm not the same person I was when I left…well ran away from Sunnydale."

Buffy sighed.

"You can't just say 'I'm sorry', no matter how hard it was to say and expect me to forgive you for the things that you have done Faith."

"I know Buffy."

Faith looked down again.

"Wow you called me by my whole name…are you sure you're okay?"

"Five-by-five Buffy."

"What the hell does that mean anyway? Five what by five what?"

"I am at liberty not to answer that question right now."

Faith smirked and Buffy chuckled. Buffy shook her head she was trying to keep on track.

"Uggh…anyways Faith these things take time is all I'm trying to say, but thank you for saying that. It means a lot."

Seeing that she seemed to have tamed the tiger in Buffy, Faith just kept on smiling. Buffy turned around again and walked away yelling,

"Don't forget we have a training session after breakfast and I already sent the potentials home. Hopefully if we get there soon there will be some food left."

Getting the hint Faith ran and caught up with Buffy.

Kennedy ran. She ran all the way back to the Summer's house and just stopped in the back yard and froze. She couldn't be in the same house as Willow right now. Not after what she had done. So she turned around and ran away. Not caring where she was going…just as fair away from 'her'.

Willow saw Kennedy come back. She saw her come and she saw her go. Willow could tell something happened. She needed to talk to Kennedy anyways. The witch found something special that could get her back together with her.

The red head grabbed her coat and ran after her as fast as she could. She caught up enough to see her turn corners on the streets.

Kennedy sensed someone following her. She finally stopped and turned around. She saw nothing. The young potential looked around and saw she had reached the new high school. It was a Saturday so there were no kids and no teachers present. She decided to do some snooping around to kill the time.

When Willow saw Kennedy walk into the school she came out from behind the car and followed her. When she thought it was safe she walked into the school.

Out of nowhere Willow is grabbed and thrown against the wall. She was immediately let go when her attacker realized who she was. Emerald eyes met angry brown eyes.

"Why are you following me Willow!?"

"I have to tell you-"

"Nothing you say will be use back together!"

"I have to try okay?"

Kennedy sighed. She ran her fingers through her hair. 'After what I have done…I owe her this…even though she doesn't know…'

"Fine…tell me."

Kennedy stood back and crossed her arms. She waited for Willow, who was grabbing a piece of paper from her pocket. She quickly unfolded it and handed it to Kennedy. Kennedy read it but it was in some other language.

"What is it?"

"It's a prophecy…in Latin of course…I think I finally found out how to defeat the first."

"Do you really think this is it Will?"

Willow smiled and took a step forward towards Kennedy.

"Yea…I really think this is it…"

Kennedy got lost in Willow's eyes but all she saw was lust. Before she could react Willow leaned forward and pressed her lips against hers. She immediately pushed her away. Again Willow hit the wall.

"God!? Why is everyone trying to kiss me today!?"

"What!? Kennedy who did you kiss!?"

Kennedy shut her mouth, realizing what she just said. She couldn't look Willow in the eye. She just looked to the ground, realizing how dirty it was.

"Look at me Kennedy!"

Kennedy's head shot up and looked deep into Willow's eyes.

"Who did you kiss?" Willow asked more calmly.

She thought carefully before she answered.

"It was the spur of the moment thing and I didn't mean for it to happen…I kissed Faith okay? Faith."

Willow felt her heart split in two when she heard this. She realized that the part in the prophecy that she thought was off about her wasn't actually about her at all. It was about Faith. She couldn't let this prophecy come true.

"Willow, we're over. I do feel guilty because we only broke up yesterday but stop trying to get me back. You're starting to scare me a little. Here's the prophecy. You should give it to Giles."

With that Kennedy left Willow. Willow's eye's slowly turned black and in a flash they were green again.

"I will get you back Kennedy…whether you like it or not!"

When Kennedy got back to the Summer's house she skipped breakfast seeing as Buffy was already telling all the potentials to go outside. Buffy asked her where Willow was but Kennedy told her she just needed to get away for awhile. Buffy understood completely which was weird to Kennedy.

Kennedy taught the training sessions, but she only talked when she needed to. All the other potentials noticed her strange behavior and all thought she was just going through the after shock of a break up. Little did they know that she was really occupied by the looks that Faith was giving her. It was like she wasn't even mad. Faith had that look in her eyes like she would kiss her again if she got the chance to.

'I probably wouldn't resist this time either…she has such soft lips…and look at those abs! He he…oooo…bad thoughts…Mmm…'

Faith in fact was only wearing a sports bra. Which Kennedy didn't mind that free show.

The after noon past by as quick as it came. All the potentials and the slayers trained until nighttime rolled around. Everyone went inside and ate dinner. Kennedy stayed out on the porch and watched the moon rise. It was a full moon. She was sitting on the steps when she heard the door open and shut. Kennedy turned around and met Faith's brown eyes staring down at her.

"Hey…" Faith said.

"Hey yourself."

Kennedy turned back around at looked up at the sky. Faith came over and sat down next to her. They sat in silence and just watched the stars. Kennedy started to shiver and Faith noticed.

"You cold?" She asked.

"Naw I'm good."

"I could warm you up…"

"Really I'm fine."

"Got a coat right here…pre warmed already…" Faith smirked.

Kennedy sighed and looked at Faith. She rolled her eyes.

"Fine."

Kennedy grabbed the coat and wrapped it around her shoulders. Kennedy put her hands down on the side only to hit Faith's hand. Kennedy's ended up on top of hers but she didn't move it. Faith looked at her and the potential just kept looking at the sky. She answered the slayer by linking their hands together. Once their hands were linked Kennedy gave her a reassuring squeeze before looking into Faith's eyes.

They once again got caught in each others eyes. Brown met brown and neither could look away. Slowly they inched towards each other till they were millimeters away.

"Are you sure?" Faith asked.

Kennedy answered by kissing her first. The both didn't want to rush anything so they just savored the moment. The two pulled away at the same time. It was Kennedy's turn to smirk.

"What?"

The younger woman got up and walked to the door. She then turned around and looked at the still sitting Faith.

"You're not the only one who can be a tease…"

With that Kennedy skipped inside the house, she made sure her tight shorts on her butt made all the curves in her right place were very visible. This only left a very turned on Faith outside. A split second after Kennedy left Faith ran inside. She found Kennedy getting the couch and there still was no other place to sleep for Faith.

"So Kenny where am I sleeping tonight? The floor?"

"Now who said you're sleeping on the floor?"

"No one."

Kennedy crawled into the couch and got comfortable.

"Then I think it's the perfect place for you to sleep tonight."

Faith laughed and walked over to the couch.

"Tease." She countered.

"You know it!"

They both laughed.

"Hey! Could you guys keep it down some of us actually like to get some sleep before all hell breaks lose!!"

Rona was sitting up and glaring at the two. Her hair was all frizzy which just made Kennedy and Faith laugh even harder.

"Whatever…"

With a thud Rona laid back down.

Back to the matter at hand, Faith decided to sleep in her same position as last night. Kennedy moved over for her and Faith wrapped her arms around her.

"You know we have a lot to talk about right Faith?"

Kennedy asked through sleepy eyes.

"I know Kenny I know…"
