Dawn and Tara tried desperately to stifle a fit of giggles, while Anya backed away, entering panic mode.
"Oh no, nuh-uh, no way" she said worriedly as she ducked behind her fiance'. "I am not fighting any bunnies. Tell them, Xander. Tell them I can't fight the bunnies." Xander looked into Anya's widened eyes, seeing how frightened she was, before turning back to the village people.
"Look guys, I think you might have the wrong girl here."
"But her name is Anya, is it not?" said the Chief.
"Well, yes, but.."
"M-maybe it's another Anya" Tara cut in. "It's n-not that uncommon a name."
"Full name Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins?" The chief asked.
"I'm sure that's not that rare either!" Anya argued, peeking over Xander's shoulder. "I might have picked that as my human name because it was uniquely me, but I'm sure there's another Anya Chrstina Emmanuella Jenkins out there somewhere. It's not even my real human name anyway. My real name is Aud. And my demon name was Anyanka. See! I was a demon. Did some very bad things. Tortured and killed thousands of people. And, I'm afraid of bunnies. Does that sound like a great bunny-fighting hero to you? I don't think so." The Chief sighed.
"I understand how difficult this must be for you Anya, being so new to this world. But we have proof that you are the one to whom the prophecy refers. Come, I will show you." The chief turned and began to walk away, and Xander, with Anya still cowering behind him, looked to Tara, both of them wary of the situation. Dawn, however, was eager to follow.
"Come on, guys!" she smiled, sprinting after the Chief and the small group of villagers who were following him. "It can't hurt to just check it out."
"Guess not" Xander shrugged. He placed a protective arm around Anya's shoulders. "Come on Ahn, let's get this thing sorted out."
"Where the hell are those bloody kittens?!"
"Yeah, Spike's here" said Buffy into the phone. "But he's not really helping that much. So, you'll call if you find anything? That'll be great, thanks Angel. Bye."
"Well?" asked Giles, looking up from his book after Buffy had hung up.
"Cordelia had some weird dream about Xander going Rambo on a group of giant bunnies a few days ago, but I don't think that means anything. Angel said he'd ask Lorne about it."
"Don't any of you care that there's a bunch of bloody infant cat's running wild somewhere in your house?"
"No, Spike. When my sister and three of our friends get sucked through a portal to god knows where, I think we've got more impportant things to worry about than a couple of kittens running around."
"It's more than a couple, Slayer, it's-"
"Have you checked the basement Spike?" Willow asked suddenly. "We find Miss Kitty asleep down there sometimes."
"Well no, as a matter of fact I haven't" said Spike, heading for the basement. "Thanks, Willow." The second the vamp was gone, Willow bolted into the kitchen, pouring milk into a saucer too big for just one cat, and filling a bowl also too big for only one animal with cat food. She picked them up and ran up the stairs, unnoticed by Giles and Buffy who had both returned to their books. She entered the bedroom she shared with Tara and looked under the bed, finding the faces of Miss Kitty Fantastico and about twenty small kittens gazing up at her.
"You little guys are really lucky Spike isn't allowed in here, you know that?" Willow sighed, scratching Miss Kitty behind the ears as she set down the bowl and saucer.
