Oh my god, I'm really sorry readers! If it wasn't for HitomiValkov (Thank You!) I'd have probably left this untouched for about a year so sorry!

Last on Bewitched, Nix, with the help of the bladers and their bit-beasts kicked Corbin's ass!

On with the very belated update!


No one was in the mood to eat that evening, even Tyson as they told the dark bladers what had happened.

"And I slept through the whole thing!?" cried Sanguinex. "Nix must think I'm a coward."

"Not at all. You were pretty much comatose and being locked in that trunk probably didn't help." said Hilary, sipping her third hot chocolate in Kai's lap. Nix asleep across the love-seat, using Bryan's thigh as a pillow, she had been like that for the past six hours.

"She should be waking up soon." said Calcifer, flexing his bandaged wing, Lupinex and Zomb patching it up between them.

"I wouldn't blame her if she slept through 'til morning after today's events." said Ray. "What happened to those hyenas?"

"Went back to wherever Corbin conjured them from I hope." replied Kenny, tinkering with new parts for Zapdoborg. "Would Nix mind if some of her blade was purple do you think?"

"Probably not." shrugged Spencer, leaning into the touch of fingers in his hair, then remembering there was only one person he let get away with it. "Nix?"

"Hey guys, how are you all feeling?" Nix's sleepy voice croaked.

"Better, thanks to you." said Tala.

"Good to hear it." Nix opened her eyes, seeing the tawny-blonde she has felt the features of many a time but never being able to see.

'Fuck he's gorgeous.' she thought, smiling at him. "Hey Spencer."

"Hey." he smiled back, thinking that she couldn't see it. Her next sentence proved him wrong.

"You have such a cute smile."

"You can see?" said Bryan.

"Eh?"

"Nix, you can see!"

"Yeah I can see." she whispered softly, hugging her cousin. "I missed seeing your face."

"I bet you missed seeing a lot of things." said Sanguinex, to be promptly pounced on.

"You know it mister."

"Hm, now get off me before I do something to warrant a stake in the heart from your cousin."

"Yes, I know what you're like." Nix laughed, standing up. "I can walk around without a cane, I can see!" she sang happily, spinning around. "Corbin's gone, the guys are free, even better is that I can see! Woo hoo!"

Bryan sweatdropped at his cousin's antics and everyone else laughed.

Spencer outright grinned, it was good to see her so happy.

How she was able to see again though eluded him.

"I'm going to develop the zoo pictures for Shogun and phone him tomorrow." she said, grabbing the bag that had the films in and disappearing into the basement.

"She doesn't miss a beat does she?" sighed Sanguinex.

"Nope." Bryan shook his head. "Maybe she's eager to see what she couldn't at the time."

"The pictures are done!" Nix cried, running into the living room with a stack of folders she had developed in the basement overnight.

"That was pretty quick for eight rolls of film." said Bryan.

"I developed nine." she frowned, picking out a folder and looking at its contents. "Ah…That explains it. I wondered what happened to these."

"Explains... Nikita Miranda Kuznetsov, what the hell?" Bryan's eyes looked like they were going to explode from his head.

"Will you calm down; a girl friend of mine asked me to do it as a favour a few months back."

"I dunno whether you're brave or daft woman."

Tala looked to her, asking "What is it?"

"Something you ain't ever seeing." Bryan replied harshly.

"Here, take a squiz at these before you have a heart attack, they're your falconry pictures." sigh Nix, handing him the pictures. "Kai coming out of the red pandas is just so cute."

Tala smirked and pinched Kai's cheek.

"Fuck off." The bluenette growled.

"Here guys, pick one so I can send them to Shogun." she said, handing out the folders.

"That Yenna is really good at her job." said Bryan, picking out a picture and handing it to Nix.

"That's a really good one of you."

"Here Nixy." said Spencer, handing her ones from his, Tala and Ian.

"Thank you. I'll phone Shogun now and whiz them over there." she replied, leaving the room.

Spencer was on his way to get a drink when he saw Nix sat on the stairs.

"What happened? Is Shogun alright?"

"He's fine, photos are a hit, and my house is totally destroyed, burnt to cinders."

"Corbin?"

"Most likely."

"I'm sorry."

"Why, it's not your fault. I need to go over there, see what's left, gather my thoughts."

"You're leaving?"

"I will come back though."

"Bryan was worried sick when you were battling Corbin, heck we all nearly lost you and you're going to just disappear?" Spencer frowned.

"I'll come back, didn't think it would be too much of a problem."

"Well it is, Bryan would go ape."

"Bryan will understand that I have to do this."

"You don't have to do anything!"

"I just got rid of one dictating pest, please don't become another."

Spencer glared at her, she had just compared him to Corbin!

"Fine, do what you want, just don't come crying to me when some warlock has taken your sight or something again." and he stormed off.

"What's it to you anyway?!"

"I care about you that's what, but seems you don't care about us." was the yelled rebuttal before a door slammed.

"But I do." she sighed in defeat, heading to her room.

"Do you really have to go Nix?" sighed Bryan as Nix picked up her case. Cloak on and Calcifer on her shoulder.

"Fraid so Bryan, Corbin destroyed my house, I've gotta see what I can salvage."

"Well let me go with you." Bryan offered as they walked down the stairs, seeing Tala, Ian, Kai, Hilary, Tyson, Ray, Kenny and Max grouped by the door.

"Kuzzy, I have to go on my own, if he's created traps among the rubble with his magic, I barely have enough power and energy left to protect myself."

"What will you do after?"

"I don't know I may stay with Shogun for a while or travel a bit... see where the mood takes me, figure out why I can see again." she walked over to him and hugged him tightly. "I'll miss you though, and your friends."

"Just remember they're your friends too, even if they are a little sour over this whole mess."

"Aren't you? You were turned into a six year old."

"I had fun as a kid this time round that I didn't the first."

"You're leaving?" sniffed Ian, hugging her around the middle when she reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Yes. So behave for me yeah?" she picked him up and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Are you coming back?" asked Kenny and Max.

"I don't know, maybe. Take care of yourselves guys." she hugged them both after setting Ian down. Then Tyson.

"We will battle one day." Tyson said defiantly.

"One day. Just go easy on the food." she chuckled.

"You take care too Nix, write or something 'kay?" said Ray hugging her and letting Calcifer nip at his finger lightly.

"Will do."

"When are you coming back?" asked Kai.

"I don't know." Nix's voice was close to cracking. Kai and Hilary then pulled her into a hug.

"Thanks for everything you've done for us." Hilary added; she had found a best sister-type friend in the witch. Nix pulled a pentagram charm from around her neck and placed it around Hilary's.

"Don't go!" Tala dropped to his knees and hugged her legs.

"Tala, you were nearly killed because of me."

"I don't care; you're the best girl-friend-that-isn't-actually-a-girlfriend a guy could have!"

"Oh Tala." she waved a hand, Tala floated up from the floor to a standing position and she hugged him. "You're the best boy-friend-that-isn't-actually-a-boyfriend a girl could have too. Don't go back to sulky wolf mode or I may have Bryan strangle you." she pecked him on the forehead. Then looked around. "Where's Spencer?"

"He wouldn't come to say goodbye for some reason." Ian piped up.

Nix only nodded sadly, looking up the stairs, she had an inkling as to why.

"It's ok; I'm not really one for goodbyes either."

"It's not a goodbye, it's a 'til we meet again." said Bryan, his eyes watery.

Everybody swore that he was pouting too.

"Yeah..."

"How are you going to travel?" asked Tyson. Nix sighed and smirked, holding out a hand a broomstick appeared. "You're kidding me."

"I'm a witch, what did you expect?" she grinned, sitting side-saddle on it. "See you guys around." floating into the air.

"Don't forget to come back!" said Bryan. Nix just waved and nodded, flying off out of sight, Calcifer holding on behind her.

Sea green eyes watched her fly off, a large hand pressed against the window.

He heard a lingering crack somewhere, and half wondered if it had anything to do with the constricted feeling in his chest. Then he felt something wet on his hands.

His hand was bleeding with glass splinters. Cursing he headed downstairs to pick them out.

"Kai, the window in my room needs replacing." he said as he walked down, only to receive a crimson glare in return.

"Why didn't you come to say goodbye?"

"I couldn't bring myself to. That's why." he weaved his way into the kitchen. "Where the fuck is the tweezers?"

"Here." Kai reached into the drawer and pulled out said item. "I'm usually asking you, you ok?"

"Yeah fine." he grunted as he pulled the glass splinters, drawing more blood in his haste.

"Yeah right." Kai snatched the tweezers off him and started to pluck at the glass. "You don't usually come down after cracking a window when a guest leaves."

"Hn." and that was all Kai got out of him when he sprayed antiseptic and wrapped his hand.
