Author's Note: Sorry this one was a little late. Not very good with fight scenes as of just yet.
Harry violently shook his head as he began to come around. His head was splitting and he was sure his jaw was going to be swollen in the morning. He blinked as he looked around where he was. A ring of vampires had him and some bat faced creep completely surrounded. A small stream was nearby and a large wooden cross rose out of the dirt behind the black leather clad vampire.
"Ah, my first meal awakens," the bat faced freak said with a slight hiss from his deformed features. Harry's green eyes blazed as another hissing voice filled his head. 'Welcome, friends, to my rebirthing party'. The voice was enough to light a blaze inside the boy's mind as he scrambled to his feet. "And he shows no fear, my, my, my, what an interesting boy you've brought to me, Largos," the Master said gesturing to the massive vampire that had knocked the boy out.
"Get your ugly ass face out of mine or you'll lose something you value," Harry said with a growl as he looked around himself for a weapon. This guy felt like power, it oozed off of him in waves and made Harry nervous. He could feel the dark power beneath Sunnydale feeding this guy and that worried him. He hadn't even had a single study in magic yet and already he was surrounded by vampires and one incredibly powerful one.
"You talk too much," the Master said reaching out and grasping Harry's throat and lifting him off the ground. The boy choked and sputtered for breath as the guy's thumb began to tilt his head to the side. "Just… powerful blood you have. I think I could drain you and just walk out of this nightmare pit I've been stuck in. Do you want to find out?"
"How about…" Harry gasped out, "you go fuck yourself and die." His feet shot out in front of him and slammed into the Master's chest sending the stunned vampire reeling backwards. Harry dropped and landed on his feet with a smirk. "I'm not about to go down that damn easy," he said with a smirk of his own before standing to his feet. "Come on, Mr. Big and Bad, you want to go, right now, you and me to the death. You win and you get my blood, I win… and I get your little army to play with."
"You dare to challenge me," the bat-faced creatures hissed as it regained his footing. "You dare to strike a challenge for me as the Demon Lord of Sunnydale? I should render you to pieces where you stand," the vampire hissed. "But so be it, it will feel good to stretch my muscles again with a decent fight. I hope you're prepared for death because I will not grant your corpse immortality."
"Fuck immortality old man," Harry said with a grin. He loved fighting, it was in his blood. With a primal roar he jumped forward swinging his fist at the monster's face. The Master blocked and went moved to slam his open palm into Harry's chest only for the boy to side step it. The raven haired teen grinned as he wrapped an arm around the Master's outstretched arm and slammed his knee into the old vampire's stomach.
The grin faded as the leather clad monster swung its arm and sent Harry flying into one of the walls. He began to chuckle as he got back to his feet his green eyes ignited with passion. He hadn't enjoyed a good brawl since Lothos died and now here he was in the thick of it again. Running forward he slipped to the side of the Master's attempt to grab him and let the creature's arm slip over his shoulder before grabbing it in a headlock. Using his forward moment he sent them both crashing to the ground, the bat faced monster's head slamming into the rocks and bouncing off a few times.
"That's it," Harry asked as he hopped back to his feet. "That guy called you the Master when he knocked me out, course he had to blindside me to do it. I was expecting a bit more," the green eyed boy teased. Suddenly the vampire shot straight back to his feet and back handed him through the air and into the cross that broke off from the ground as he slammed into it.
"Like I said, you talk too much." Straightening his clothes he turned to his horde of followers and spread his arms wide. "Now do you see what I have been telling you? These humans are pathetic and weak and deserve to burn under the power of the Old Ones. There we will be the divine and be worshiped," he said and didn't pay much attention as several of his minions rolled their eyes at his speech.
"Hey, Adolf," the teen's voice sounded from behind the ancient one who turned to see what his foolish opponent wanted now. The vampires watched in stunned horror as the Master turned right into the jagged broken edge of the cross and letting it impale his heart. "Anyone ever tell you that you talk to fucking much," the teen said with a smirk as the creatures skin turned to ash with a weird roaring sound and fell to the ground in a heap leaving only the bones behind.
"You… you killed him," the blond vampire from earlier that night said in shock as Harry tossed the cross away from himself and let the Master's bones crumble into a heap. "I thought… only the slayer…" she said looking at the other vampires who were just as amazed as she was. Her blue eyes turned back to watch as Harry picked up her sire's skull and ripped the fangs out of his mouth. She even gave a little wail as he dropped the skull to the ground and ground it to powder beneath his heel.
"Welcome to my reign," the boy said simply as he looked around. "Hey, don't I know you," he asked pointing to a vampire in an orange shirt and blue stripe. "Yeah, you're Jesse from school. Sucks you died," he said shaking his head.
"That's alright," the dark haired vampire said with a shrug. "I feel better now, like I see everything clearly for the first time," he said gazing around in wonder. "I can hear the worms moving in the Earth, I can feel something beneath the city streets begging for release. It's really cool man. Do you want to feel it?"
"I already can," the new leader said with a shrug and dropped onto the patch of dirt where the cross used to stand. "Now, we're going to go over some ground rules. Failure to comply with these rules means your death, understood," he asked and watched as the others nodded. He could feel them, like they were all linked together. He idly wondered if it had anything to do with being the 'Demon Lord' of Sunnydale.
"Good, rule number one, no more killing your victims," he said holding up one finger. At the moans he glared at his new subjects in distaste. "Think about it you morons, if you don't kill them then they get better and you have more blood running around. I'm surprised none of you dead-heads thought of it before," he said shaking his head. "Rule number two, you are to keep other demons from killing humans."
"Why should we do that," the vampire Largos asked stepping out of the crowd to impose his size on the smaller teenage boy. "Why should we do a single damn thing you say? Just because you offed the Master doesn't make you our…"
"Shut up," Harry said and smiled as the demon's mouth clamped shut through no means of his own. "See, I do control you. I own you as the Demon Lord and you will do exactly as I say or… Well, hell, you knocked me the fuck out earlier. Go stake your own damn self on that cross," he said and turned his back on the nearly seven foot tall monster as it struggled against the command but still walked robotically toward the broken cross.
The others stared at each other in horror as the big guy screamed as the wooden beams burned into his hands before he slammed it into his chest and turned to dust. "You see, I'm your terrifying new leader and you'll do as I say or end up like Mr. Big Pile of Dust over there." Harry was almost giddy with the power rushing to his head. "What was your group called anyway?"
"The Order of Aurelius," the blond, who Harry now heard the name Darla I his head, had attacked him earlier answered almost immediately. "We… were a religious sect," she nearly spit the words out with pure venom, "meant to bring the Old Ones back to power and open the Hellmouth beneath the city. However we believe that there is a new slayer over head that must be killed first."
"Oh the irony," Harry said with a chuckle. "That Slayer is my sister, you'll obey her as you obey me, got it?" His voice rebounded off the walls as they all nodded, unable to do anything else. "Great," he said happily before walking toward the second pile of dust and grabbing a hold of the worn and brittle cross and breaking off a few long jagged pieces before tossing them to the girls in the room. "You are now Harry's Beautiful Killers so kill anyone in here who doesn't have breasts and a vagina," he said casually before sitting back and relaxing. "Men, do not fight back," he said with a happy grin on his face as all the guy's eyes opened wide in horror.
Harry whistled happily as he walked through front door of 1630, incredibly happy that his new role in Sunnydale didn't impede him from entering his own home. The lights were off inside the house and he assumed everyone had gone to sleep a while ago. Looking at the clock he saw it was only eleven thirty so he still had thirty minutes before curfew. Oh how good it was to be in high school.
Walking up the stairs he threw open his bedroom door and clicked the light on, only to nearly fall backwards at the sight of his sister sitting on his bed. "Good God Buffy, just give me a damn heart attack why don't you," he said grasping his chest in mockery. He frowned as he noticed how down she looked and quickly crossed the space to his bed and sat down next to her. "What's the matter?"
"It's… there is something here that I have to fight," she said and leaned into her brother's shoulder as he put his arm around her. "I thought I was done with all of this but now Willow saw me stake a vampire, and this other one named Luke nearly killed me. I think Xander knows as well, and I couldn't find Jesse…" she sniffled and Harry felt at least a bit better knowing he could help her out a bit.
"Buffy, I know what happened to Jesse, he's a big pile of dust, so is Luke," he said as he stroked her hair. "I've… sort of need to tell you something," he said and watched as she leaned away from him to wipe her eyes. "You see it all sort of started when I was walking Cordelia home from the Bronze…" And so he told her all about his night and his new role as Demon Lord of Sunnydale and what he had the vampire girls do to the boys and his new orders for them. "… so you see, I'm helping you take care of everything. You aren't alone."
"Let me get this straight," Buffy said with a glare as she got to her feet and put her hands on her hips. The boy gulped knowing that his sister was not at all happy with him. "You have a harem of vampire girls working under you fighting MY fight and you gave me power over them. There is something called the Hellmouth under us and you killed the Sunnydale equivalent of Lothos? Did I miss anything," she demanded.
"No I think you pretty much got it…"
SLAP. Harry felt his head spin from the saw stars in front of his eyes from the blow. "Harry Summers I can't believe you would do something so stupid as to challenge a Master Vampire for control of a swirling vortex of evil. Then you have a bunch of vamp-hoes out there trying to keep the piece and not kill their victims. I don't know if I should beat you black and blue or hug you to death."
"Well you could start with a thank you," Harry said as he climbed to his feet. "It's thanks to me that the vampire population of Sunnydale is under our control already. It's thanks to me that you or one of your friends you let our secret slip too doesn't have to dust one of their best friends. I think I did a damn good nights work so don't get all uppity with me sister or I'll…"
He didn't get to finish though as he saw something smoldering in Buffy's eyes that he hadn't seen before. Walking toward her reached out toward her only for her smack his hand away and nearly growl at him. "Stay away from me… I can't… I can't see you right now," she said before turning and fleeing from the room, leaving Harry alone surrounded by his posters. Shrugging in confusion he reached into his pocket and pulled out the Master's fangs and set them on his nightstand a trophy he could really feel impressed with.
Green eyes fluttered open to the sound of giggling. Somewhat annoyed he cracked open one eye to see Cordelia and Harmony leaning over his bed… where he had kicked off his sheets leaving him only in his boxers. He smirked as he put his hands behind his back and looked up into their giggling faces. "There is plenty of room for you ladies, if you want to join me for a morning quickie."
"Oh no mister," Joyce's voice sounded from the hallway just beyond his line of sight. "I won't be having any of that in this house until you are at least twenty seven," she said before he heard her start heading down the stairs. "Those nice girls are here to help you get ready so I suggest you get out of bed and get started. School's only a few hours away."
"Hours," Harry muttered even as he sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Looking out his window he could still the see the darkness of predawn and shuddered. "You two didn't have to come over this early," he said before he felt weight drop on either side of himself. Blinking he looked to the left where Cordelia planted a deep smoothing kiss onto his lips that had him wide awake in moments. Owlishly he turned to the right after the kiss and was met with another set of lips on his.
"This is how I want to be woken up from now on," he said in a daze as the two girls laughed. Looking down he blushed as he saw the tent between his legs and hurriedly got up. "I'll be right back," he said with a moan and rushed to the bathroom. As he came back out he saw the girls going through his closet and dresser drawers. "You won't find any pictures of me naked in there, you know."
"Silence you," Cordelia said pointing her finger at him and holding up a pair of black slacks and giving them the once over. "I think these will do well," she said and tossed them onto his bed. "Oh Harmony, where did you find that," she asked and rushed to the girl who was holding up a shirt with the picture of Christopher Walken on the front holding up a wad of cash on the words 'King of New York' written across the back.
"It was here in his drawer," the blond said with the sound of 'duh' in her voice. They added it to the slacks on the bed before they rummaged through his closet again looking for a shirt. "Too reggae," Harmony said holding up a button up shirt with Bob Marley on the back. "Oh what about this," she said holding up a white button up shirt. "This would offset the black slacks and frame the picture on his shirt if he left it unbuttoned."
"That will do nicely, Harm," Cordelia said patting the girl on the head like a dog as she put the shirt on the bed with the rest of his clothes. "Well hurry up and get dressed," she said looking at Harry as though he was a snail. Shaking his head Harry started to pull on his slacks before looking up. Cordelia had led Harmony into the nook behind his door where no one from the hall could see them and started to give the shorter girl peppered kisses on the lips as she tweaked the blond's nipples.
"Getting dressed," Harry said hurriedly as he pulled on his clothes and grabbed his belt and wallet before slipping on his socks and lacing up his boots. Giving a quick glance down the hall he could hear his mother downstairs making breakfast and his sister starting to move about her room. Grinning wickedly he wrapped an arm around Cordy and Harm's waists and began to kiss them both deeply.
"That's enough," Cordelia suddenly said putting a halt to the festivities. "Any more and we'll never get out of here," she said with a smirk before grabbing Harry's wrist and pulling him toward the bathroom. Inside she put him in front of the sink and began to look at his hair critically. "Has this thing ever seen a comb," she asked after about five minutes before grabbing a brush and trying to tame his hair.
After nearly ten minutes of her raking his head with a brush, Harmony finally decided to intervene. "What if we make it messier, like that how he wants to look or something," the blond asked with a shrug of her shoulders. And that was what the two girls went with. First though they pulled the button up shirt off his shoulders and brought in a chair. Forcing him to sit in it sideways they had him lay back over the side of the tub and run water through his hair before the brunette washed with shampoo and rinsed it and Harmony conditioned his hair and rinsed it.
As he sat back up both girls were astounded at the fact that his hair hadn't changed a bit. Even with the weight of so much water holding it down it still refused to bow to gravity. Grabbing some mousse and ran it through his hair, their nails just barely scraping his scalp and sending tingles all through his body. Then they fluffed his hair up and ran a comb through it before raking their fingers through it again. "Well, it will have to do," Harmony said noticing that even still it looked like they had barely touched his head at all. "You're hair is evil Harry, you now that?"
"I've heard," he said with a chuckle before pulling his shirt back on and heading downstairs after grabbing his backpack. Upstairs he could hear Buffy slam the bathroom door and shook his head. "I don't know what her problem is," he said with a frown as he, Cordelia, Harmony, and his mom sat at the table to begin eating. A few minutes later Buffy joined them, glaring daggers at Harry as though everything wrong with her morning was his fault before everyone trekked out to the Mercedes that Cordy was driving to go to school.
As they parked Buffy grabbed Harry and pulled him out of the car. "We'll see you two at lunch," she said to a shocked Cordelia and Harmony who frowned and followed the siblings into the school and to the library. "Giles," she called out and practically threw Harry onto the table in the middle of the room, "my brother has something he wants to tell you."
"You can't just throw me around like that," Harry said hopping off the table and glaring at his sister. "You're just pissed because I now control the Hellmouth and thus the demon population of Sunnydale. That makes the Slayer just about a waste and let's face it, Sis, you fight so hard to be normal again that you complete miss the fact that you LIKE being the slayer and me taking away your fun is just ..."
A steady crack filled the air and Harry went flying back into one of the bookcases, massive text books and tomes crashed down on his head as he laid their dazed. "This doesn't have anything to do with you being a Demon Lord, Harry," she said storming up the steps to the second layer. "This is about you and that blond bimbo, Harmony. I refuse to allow you to see her, I don't mind Cordelia so much but stay away from Harmony."
Harry growled before grabbing his sister and shoving her back over the railing where she slammed into the table and had the wind knocked out of her. "So you have no problem with me killing the Master, taking control of the Vampire Hordes of the Hellmouth so long I stay away with from some blond?" He leaped over the railing on the second floor and landed with his feet planted on either side of the slayer. "Why don't you just admit that you like her and maybe, just maybe, she'll be willing to give your pussy a little…"
He sailed higher than the though as her foot slammed into his back and sent him catapulting over her head and to the floor. "I am not a lesbian," she said forcefully as she rolled back to her feet and jumped at her brother, tackling him back to the ground as he began to get back to his feet. Slayer and Demon Lord rolled back and forth across the ground, Harry trying not to hurt his sister even while she pulled his hair. "Stay… away… from… Harmony," she demanded slamming his head into the ground with each word.
"Get off me, damn it," Harry said before he felt Buffy's weight lifted off of his body. Sitting up he looked around at Xander and Giles who were holding Buffy's arms and keeping her away from him while Willow, Harmony, and Cordelia stood nearby in shock. Climbing to his feet he straightened his shirt with as much dignity as he could with a busted lip. "I let her win."
Author's Note: Done with the Buffy vs Harry questions. But now we get to see just what is going on with Buffy... maybe if she'll fess up to it. XD
