"No way." Willow said.
"Yeah." came a soft voice, still full of hurt and pain.
"Kenn." came Faith's voice as they watched Kennedy slowly walk down the stairs. Her eyes drifted to each one of them in turn, then to Harmonica Man, then Willow. Kennedy and Willow looked at each other for a full 30 seconds. "Kenn, I'm really, really sorry for what I did. I promise I will never do anything like that ever again…well without your permission." Willow said.
"It's okay. I just wish you would have talked to me about it before you actually did it." Kennedy said.
"'K." Willow said. She walked toward Kennedy and Kennedy came forward to meet her halfway. They hugged for many long minutes.
"Sorry to break up this little reunion," Faith said. "But Kennedy, are you a werewolf?"
"Umm, well. When I was about 14 I went out by myself, when I wasn't really suppose to. and I was walking through the graveyard, and a big werewolf, about 5'5, came out of the trees. He had a master who called him Oz I think. Well, Oz bit me but my Watcher Cameron came over in the nick of time and put a knife to Oz's leg and he went back to his master." Kennedy said.
"Oz bit you?" Willow stammered.
"Uh yeah, why?" Kennedy asked.
"Because he was my past and first boyfriend for two years before I met Tara." Willow said.
"Ohh." was all Kennedy could say.
"I'm so sorry." Willow said. "I didn't know he ever did that." She walked to the couch where Kennedy had sat when she heard the news that Willow's ex-boyfriend had bitten her. Willow sat beside Kennedy and brought the little brunette into her arms.
"Wow," said Xander. "I never knew Oz had a master."
"Yeah," Buffy said. "Me neither."
Buffy and Faith went to Kennedy and hugged her as well. About 20 seconds later, Xander, Vi, Dawn and even Giles came and gave her a hug. They stayed that way for about 3 minutes in a group hug just rocking Kennedy. Kennedy broke the hug and went to Harmonica Man.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"Tokura (Ta-K-Ur-A)." he said, his voice full of confidence.
"How did you know I was a werewolf?" asked Kennedy.
"Because I was the one who controlled Oz." he said with an ear to ear smile.
Kennedy snapped. She flew at Tokura and punched and kicked at every bit of him she could see.
"You bastard!. You ruined my life. Do you know what you did when you made Oz bite me? I ended up killing my family, because I changed, you stupid, stupid bas…."
She was stopped by a blow to the stomach. As Tokura kneed her, she fell to her side but kicked him in the place no guy wants to be kicked. (hahaha) Faith and Buffy had to knock her out by hitting her in the back of the head.
Willow gasped and went over to Kennedy.
"Don't worry, Will. We just had to knock her out so she wouldn't get hurt herself." Buffy said.
"Hey Red, maybe you should go upstairs with Kenn and get some sleep." Faith suggested as she pulled out a sword.
"I-I guess so, I do feel a little exhausted." she said as she followed Buffy and Xander who were carrying Kennedy upstairs. They put Kennedy in Wills and Kenn's room (whenever they stayed there), and laid her down on their bed. Buffy and Xander then went back down to the living room. Willow laid down next to Kennedy and went to sleep.
As Buffy got back down, she saw Faith raise the sword above her head and strike at Tokura's left arm.
He screamed as blood spurted from the wound. Buffy walked over to them and took the sword from Faith and held it to Tokura's neck.
"You deserve this, you wretch. You hurt my past friend and my present friend. You will not be spared because you have hurt or killed others and could have killed us, so yeah, you will not be spared. Goodbye." Buffy said.
"Enjoy Hell!" Faith and Buffy yelled together, as Buffy plunged the sword into Tokura's chest.
He screamed and their screams died down, as he slowly bed to death.
"What should we do with the body?" asked Dawn.
"Burn it." said Faith. "Only way to make sure he doesn't come back."
Back to Kennedy and Willow's room
Kennedy woke suddenly and felt groggy. She looked around the room, then felt a warm body holding her. She looked up to see Willow, who was looking at her.
"You don't have to worry anymore, Kenn." Willow whispered.
"You mean, you accept me for…what I am?" Kennedy asked.
"Of course I do, silly." Willow said soothingly.
"I'm glad." Kennedy said.
"And we'll help you whenever you need it." Willow said in a reassuring tone.
"Thank you." Kennedy said and she kissed Willow. That went on for awhile.
Finally they came down to the living room to find that Buffy and Faith had killed Tokura and burned him. The couple couldn't be happier (Will and Kenn).
After that for a few months, Kenn had nightmares. But with Will and her friends by her side, she knew she could get through anything. As long as they were by her side and helping her with her life, she knew she would be happy for the rest of her life. She would never look back on what she described as the worst three night of her life.
