Who Are You?

Disclaimer: I do not own Buffy or Beyblade – just thought you'd all like to know. Anyway, I hope you like the party – enjoy!

Chapter 13 – Go

'On your mark?' Kym teased innocently. Kennedy smirked, and turned back to Dawn, who was in the spotlight.

Dawn was surrounded by about twenty other slayers, all dancers like Dawn was. Every girl was in a position, and waiting for music. Xander started the music, and their dance began.

It was very good. The girls never went wrong, doing twists and turns, flips and twirls. Oliver was starry-eyed all the way through it. When the lights finally dimmed along with the music, until it was darkness, everyone clapped.

The light flashed back on again, showing the girls had changed pose, to gather in a circle around Dawn. The audience applauded louder. Kym could have sworn she had never seen Buffy happier for her little sister.

Since the slayers had first started the abbey in China, Dawn had had a more normal life. She got to hang out with girls her age, and actually be the lucky one out of them. Also, her big sister was showing her how to fight like the girls, and Dawn had been told to live in a similar style to the slayers. She even slept in a dorm with slayers. Buffy hadn't wanted a small Cordelia as her sister.

Kym straightened up as she saw Buffy, Faith, Vi, Giles and Robin walking over. She walked calmly over to the group of beybladers, and pointed the four people out.

'Hey, you like Dawn's dance?' asked Faith. The group looked around and nodded.

'Very nice.' Oliver said. 'How long have they been working on it?' he asked politely. Dawn heard him and beamed at the Frenchman.

'Only a couple of months.' She told him, walking over to join the conversation.

'With all those dancers? Very impressive.' Oliver said. Dawn smiled again, her eyes practically bulging with happiness.

'Yeah Dawnie, you rocked out there,' Willow said, having joined them as well. Kennedy went to the Wicca's side, and the two started to dance together. Slayers around the hall started to smile, as the well-known pair caught every eye possible.

'How 'bout we join them, Faith?' asked Robin, taking her hand. Kym smirked as she distinctly saw a blush tinge Faith's cheeks. The slayer accepted, and began to dance with him.

Oliver started to talk to Dawn some more, which she seemed to be enjoying immensely. Buffy watched them for a few moments uncertainly, but then smiled and turned to Kym.

'I'm glad she's finally meeting someone.' She said. Kym nodded.

'Yeah. He seems nice too. Oliver. Son of a French millionaire, a top beyblader in Europe, kind, artistic, what more do you need?' teased Kym. Buffy's eyes widened.

'Whoa. I think my sister has a talent there, ya know?' she said. Kym smirked.

'Quite possibly.' She said. 'Now when can we get a mall in our abbeys?' she asked mockingly. Buffy scowled playfully at her, and walked away again. Kym stood there with her hands on hips in mock-outrage.

'Hey!' She cried. Buffy chuckled and began talking to Giles. Tala walked over to Kym.

'You seem really at home here, why?' he asked. Kym smiled to him.

'I guess because I'm with girls like me. We all have this huge responsibility, but together it doesn't seem as big. It's really great like this.' She replied. Tala nodded.

'Care to dance?' he asked. Kym smiled and nodded. She let Tala lead her to the dance floor, where she saw Xander purposefully put on a slow track. She couldn't help but smile as she swayed to the music with the redheaded Russian.

Robert watched Kym and Tala dancing. He smiled as he saw how happy Kym looked. He vowed he wouldn't get in their way. He had only known his sister for less than a week; she would not want him interfering now.

Oliver and Dawn were dancing as well. They were talking quietly, and seemed to be hitting off well. Buffy kept glancing at them, but smiled and turned back to the conversation quickly afterwards.

Robert walked over to Vi. He took her hand. 'Want to dance?' he asked her. Vi blushed, but nodded anyway. They started to join the group of dancers in the centre of the room.

(a/n: I'm skipping to after the ball, because I'm lazy, ok? Ok.)

After the ball, Kym walked them all back to their rooms. Tala kept his arm around her the whole way, despite the glances he was getting from the group, and other slayers who saw them.

Kym bid them all goodnight when they reach their own rooms. Soon it was just Kym and Tala in the corridor, since Mariah had gone back with Sandra and Marie. Tala took her hand in his, smiling at her.

Kym was shocked as Tala closed the gap between them quickly, stealing a goodnight kiss from her. He left her, breathless and confused, out in the hallway. Kym watched the door close, before trailing back to her room, trying not to cry, or to run. Or to do both.

Kym leant against her closed door, and looked round her room. She sighed. Did she even like that? She wondered.

Kym knew she had a shady past with guys, the first real stand-out being her fight with Spike. Kendra, who also disliked the vampire, had supported her, and helped her through. Now they both hated the blonde punk vamp with a passion.

Kym pushed her thoughts away, but couldn't help but shudder as a memory swam over her again.

'C'mon, I know you wanna feel it!'

'NO!'

Kym cried out, and the memory was over as soon as it had come. She sank to the floor, leant against the door still, crying silently.

The Slayer of Water rocked back at forth, watching the tears blur her vision, not caring to wipe them away. Sat on the bed, Lucy Hanover watched her crying herself to sleep, still dressed in her gown.

'Please...'

Lucy looked up, back at her beloved friend, Kym.

'Please...'

Lucy stood up and floated towards her sleeping figure, still crouched against the door. She peered down at her from a distance, though, as a ghost, it wouldn't make much difference.

'Please...Stop him...'

Lucy cried out unheard, as Kym's inner terror sent her backwards. She left the slayer sleeping, knowing it was dangerous for both if she stayed. The Water Slayer could affect her in more ways than one.

Hope you like it, sorry if you don't. Please review, I'll try to update soon, though. Thanks for reading, naioka1992 - xoxo
