Aw, that just sucks! Poor Tara. She completed Willow, but now she's all, um, incomplete.

Chapter 15







Buffy stirred on the couch, calling out for Faith.







Buffy bolted upright, looking around the room confused. "Dawn?" Buffy said quietly. "Dawn are you sleeping?"



"I was Buffy, what's the matter?" Dawn asked rolling over in her sleeping bag so she was facing her big sister.



"I heard something, did you hear something?"



"No, just you, what did you hear? Is it a vampire or something?" Dawn asked sitting up.



"I don't think so my slayer senses aren't tingling. Never mind Dawn, go back to sleep." Buffy told her sister as she laid back down herself.







"I heard it again, did you hear it this time? Buffy asked jumping up off the couch.



"I didn't hear anything Buffy." Dawn said sitting up again.



"It was like really faint voices, or a voice, but it was really faint I could barely hear it." Buffy said.



Letting out a sigh of relief Dawn looked up at her sister and smiled. "It's probably just Faith, your connection's probably weak, because she's weak. You'll have to concentrate harder to strengthen the connection, because Faith is to weak to do it."



"Oh, okay." Buffy said sitting back down on the couch.











"You're right, it is Faith." Buffy told her sister smiling.



"Good, can I go back to sleep now?" Dawn mumbled sleepily.



"Yeah Dawn, whatever." Buffy said absentmindedly.

































Mahika walked out of the shadows, "open the door, and bring Faith to me."



"Yes boss," the muscular vampire she called Derek said opening the door to Faiths captivity.

The other vampire, Dylan, drug Faith out and placed her in front of Mahika.



"Leave us," Mahika said.



The rakshasa waited for the two vampires to be out of sight before pulling Faith to her feet.



"What now bitch? More bonding for us?" Faith asked.



"No, we must go now. I'm moving you." Mahika said as she opened the door to the warehouse.



"Get in the van."



"It wasn't very smart of you to bring me out here alone, without your muscles to keep me in check." Faith said kicking Mahika in the stomach causing her to stumble back into the van.



As Mahika recovered, she sent a fist towards Faith's face. Dodging Mahika's attack, Faith kicked out and knocked Mahika to her knees. Getting to her feet Mahika grabbed Faiths ankle as she attempted to side kick her and punched her in the face.



Buffy sat up with a jolt, wide-awake all the sudden.



























Faith ducked another of Mahika's attempts to grab her and spun around to face her.























Faith stopped fighting Mahika off and let herself be shoved into the van.

Chapter 16





Buffy sat up with a jolt, wide-awake all the sudden. The suddenness of Buffy sitting up surprised Dawn.



"Goddess Buffy, what's wrong?"



"Hold on, it's Faith." Buffy said.



Sitting down beside her sister on the couch Dawn patiently waited for Buffy, she knew Buffy was talking to Faith with her mind.



Letting out a sigh, Buffy turned to Dawn. "Faith's on her way. Where is everyone else?"



"The Magic Box, Anya kept all of Giles books throughout the years. Lets go meet up with them." Dawn said getting up.



"You go ahead Dawn, I'm going to take a shower and then I'll meet you there."



"Okay then, bye Buffy." Dawn said as she left the apartment and headed for the Magic Box.





Buffy stepped into the hot spray of the shower. Feeling relief the minute the hot water hit her body. She felt the tension release from her stress tightened muscles, as the hot steamy water saturated her lovely body. She tilted her head back and closed her eyes, letting the hot water caress every inch of her body. Buffy was lost in the sensation of the water beating down upon her. She didn't notice that someone had quietly slipped into the bathroom.



Faith slipped into the bathroom knowing that Buffy was alone in the apartment and that she was in the shower. She lightly closed the door and turned around to gaze upon her lover. She choked back a sob as she took in the beauty of her girl. With tears streaming down her face, Faith quickly undressed and opened the shower door. As she stepped into the shower in front of Buffy, she realized that Buffy had her eyes closed.



Faith thought.

























"I know, open your eyes B." Faith said as she wrapped her arms around Buffy's waist. Pulling her hot slick body against her own.



"Oh God, Faith I was so scared I was going to lose you." Buffy cried out grabbing at Faith and burying her face in Faith's neck.



"I love you." Buffy said, pulling back and looking up at her lover.



Faith's sweet beautiful face smiled back at her, wide brown eyes almost completely at peace, her skin was wet and glistening, marred by the scrapes and cuts left by the rakshasa.



"I knew you'd get me B. I knew I'd be okay." Faith said as she pulled Buffy to her, kissing her passionately.



"I love you B." Faith said pulling back to gaze into Buffy’s eyes.



Kissing Buffy again, Faith reached behind her and turned the shower off.



"We better get to the Magic Box, the others are waiting on us." Faith said smiling wickedly.



"Yes they are, we can be a little late though. How did you know I was here and that I was the one in the shower?" Buffy asked her realizing for the first time that Faith made no noise what so ever as she entered her shower.



"Dawn told me, she was leaving as I got here." Faith said.



"Oh, good old Dawn." Buffy said grabbing Faith’s hand pulling her toward the bedroom.

Hey y'all this is kristen! -waves- I am just fixing something that we got confused. This is the beta'd bit of our story that didn't get posted.



~Chapter 17a~



~*~*~*~*~



Willow sat in her favorite armchair with her laptop computer safely in her lap and her mobile printer on the side table. She was totally immersed and the only sounds that came from her direction of the room where the soft tapping of her fingers on the keys. She had several websites on the screen and seemed to be doing multiple things at once.



"Willow, did you find anything on Mahika?" Giles asked. He walked over to her side of the store and placed his arm around the back of her chair. He would have peered over her shoulder, but she had explained to all the Scoobies several times that she found that thoroughly distracting.



"Yeah, I'm printing some stuff now. I found some stuff on the Ravana as well,” she answered him without ceasing in her typing frenzy.



"Good, good work. Let me see what you've got so far." He said going over to where Willow’s printer was beeping.



"Here's the stuff on Mahika," she said handing Giles some pages from the printer. "There's a lot of links associated with the Ravana. I'm trying to narrow it down. I'll go over it when I'm finished." She watched as Gile’s walked over to the small round table in the middle of the store to look over the information she had printed out.



Looking over at Tara, Willow noticed the beautiful smile and far away look on her lover’s face. "What's up sweetie?"



"Faith is okay, she's back, her and Buffy have... umm… well reunited." Tara said a seductive half smile appearing on her beautiful face.



"You mean... they...right now...? Hey, how do you know that?" Willow asked not having got the update that she assumed everyone else had.



“Sorry, I’m not sure really, I just do. Oh goodie, Dawn's here." Tara said getting up from the armchair right situated next to her lover and walking to the door.



Willow thought looking around as she heard the door open with a chime.



Dawn waltzed into the Magic Box with a big smile on her face. "Faith's back, she's okay."



"It worked, you are wonderful." Dawn told Tara hugging her tightly. She took her arms from around the blonde witch looking completely happy with the turn of events that had taken place in the last few hours. To her everything was finally coming together as it was meant to.



"Well if she's okay, why didn't she and Buffy come with you?" Giles asked concerned with the absence of the two slayers.



"Ummm, well.... I think they needed to be alone for a while." Dawn said sitting down next to the British man taking some of the papers he had in a stack before him.



"Oh....OH...OH, yes very well then." Giles said removing his glasses cleaning the lenses.



Willow noticed Tara was looking at her, when they made eye contact Tara winked.







"Giles, may I have a word with you please?" Willow asked getting up from her chair and walking slowly toward the watcher.



"Sure," he said getting up.



Tara walked over to Willow and took her hand. "Willow, is something wrong?" She asked with complete concern on her angelic face. She looked into the green eyes she loved so much searching for the truth.



"No, everything is fine sweetie. I just need to discuss some things with Giles." Willow said kissing Tara lightly and looking into her blue eyes giving her the answer that her lover has looking for.



"Okay, I'll help the others with research then." Tara said squeezing Willow's hand lovingly.



Willow followed Giles to the training room.



"What's wrong Willow?" he asked.



"I'm worried about Tara. Before she got sssh.. sshot, we found out that she is related to or connected to a God. She was killlll.... well, we didn't have a chance to research it more." Willow told him sitting on top of the pummel horse in the middle of the room looking down at her hands trying to get out the words that were so hard for her to form.



"What makes you think she’s related to or connected to a God?" Giles asked her not making the connection. He would wait for the red headed witch to gather herself. He knew that Tara’s death was very hard on the witch and that she had not had the proper time to completely deal with the new memories. He settled himself against the wall next to the new sword cabinet.



"Her mother told us, when we were within the Nether Realms. We preformed a ritual two days before she was sssshhhoo.... “ Willow took a deep breath shaking her head in frustration. “I’m sorry Giles, it’s just still so fresh in my mind, and it still hurts even though she’s right here with me. So we did the ritual two days before she was sssho.... two days before she… you know. It was supposed to tell us if she was a divine herself or if she was just connected to one." Willow said.



"And what did you find out?" he asked.



"Well it was inconclusive, we were going to look into it further but then she got.... sssho....." Willow stuttered as her eyes teared up and she lost her train of thought.



"How was it inconclusive?" Giles asked her putting a hand on her shoulder to calm her down and bring her back to the matter at hand.



"Well, if she was a divine one, the crystal was supposed to glow white, if she was only connected to a divine one, it was supposed to glow blue."



"Oh, so what happened, it didn't glow?" He asked, as he couldn’t figure out where she was going.



"No, that's just the thing, it did. It was a brilliant silver, it was so bright that we had to look away.” She told him remembering that night with perfect clarity.



"How long did it glow?"



"Not long, it dimmed when I got off the bed and walked towards it and it went out completely when Tara got up and headed to the bathroom.” Willow said pacing the training room. “I went out completely. I mean, if it was tied to just Tara it would stay lit right?” She looked briefly at the Watcher trying to collect her thoughts. “When I moved away it dimmed, but when I came closer it grew brighter, and if I left completely and it went out does that mean that together we effect it?” She closed her eyes. This was just a little to much for her at the moment. “Giles, did you notice the flames on the candles, that Tara has been lighting with her magic?" Willow said suddenly turning to face him, worry lines creasing her beautiful features.



"You mean the silver flames?" Giles asked.



"Yes, and her powers are so much stronger then they should be. Not just with her and I, but with everyone and everything around her. She knew that Faith was back and okay, she knew that her and Buffy were....... you know, reconnecting. She also knew that Dawn was here minutes before she walked through the door."



"Well, you and Tara need to look into this further, do you still have that crystal?" he asked her.



"I think so, I gave it to Anya for safe keeping, she’s reliable with merchandise." Willow said smirking.



"Okay, well get it back from her and see if it's glowing anymore and what color it is." Giles told her as the door to the training room opened slowly and Dawn’s head popped in.



"Sorry to interrupt you guys, but Buffy and Faith are here." Dawn said informed before looking to both of the adults hoping that she had not interrupted anything of too much importance.



"It's okay Dawnie, we're done anyway." Willow said squeezing by Dawn and out of the training room with Gile’s following her and wrapping his arm around Dawn.



Willow walked up behind Tara, wrapped her arms around her lover’s waist, and nuzzled her neck, kissing her softly.



"Hi." she said in a whisper giving Tara a squeeze.



"Hi yourself." Tara said leaning back into Willow. "I missed you." She leaned her neck back onto the shoulder behind her and closed her eyes taking in the comfort that had been offered to her by her lover. She wrapped her arms around those that had her securely in their grasp.



"I missed you too, come on honey." Willow said taking Tara's hand and leading them over to the table where she pulled Tara onto her lap.



"Anya."



Startled by Willow's voice Anya jumped away from Xander. "I wasn't thinking anything."



Laughing, Faith looked up from the book she was reading. "Anya, a little anxious are we?"



"Shut up, you evil lesbian." Anya snapped to the young brunette before she walked over to Willow and Tara. "Yeah?"



"Do you still have Tara's crystal that I gave you?"



"Yes of course, I'll get it for you, it's just behind the counter somewhere." Anya said walking around the counter.



"My crystal? Willow, are you sure nothings bothering you?" Tara asked.



"No sweetheart. Nothing’s bothering me. I just think we need to solve some

unanswered questions. Besides, it'll be fun getting the answers." Willow said softly to her lover.



"Oh, is that so?" Tara asked flashing her lopsided smile.



"Oh it is." Willow said sticking the tip of her tongue out between her teeth.



"Vixen." Tara whispered and smiled when Willow’s grin grew to naughty proportions.



"Here you go." Anya said popping up from behind the counter. Handing Willow the small black velvet bag Anya noticed that both Willow and Tara were wearing matching a red tint on their faces. Looking over at Tara she knew she'd interrupted some spicy lesbian talk. Anya grinned wickedly at Willow as Willow took the bag from her quickly looking away.



"You two were talking about sex, weren't you? You were and I missed it again." Anya said loud enough for everyone in the Magic Box to hear. Almost every head in the shop turned to face the demon. A few customers grumbled under their breath and left, while most of the others hastened the pace of their shopping hoping to get away from the crazy blonde and her sex talk.



“Hey no don’t leave, we have lots of good stuff for you to buy, everyone has sex, hey come back” Anya yelled after the customers that were now leaving. While Anya was distracted Willow grabbed Tara’s hand hoping to make a clean exit and headed for the door.



"Hey." Buffy said as Willow and Tara started to leave.



"We'll be back." Willow said.



"Where are you going?" Buffy yelled after them as the door closed and they were gone.



"Giles, Giles why don't they have to research?" Buffy whined to her Watcher obviously aggravated that the witches got to get out of research duties.



"They are, just not here, and not on this. But their research is just as important," he said absentmindedly handing Buffy another book to look over. Buffy’s face grew a pout when she examined the huge book in her hands that she had been given. Sending the watcher an evil glare she sat at Willow’s armchair and opened the large book and began reading.



"Research, my demon ass. They're going to have sex. You know they are Giles. Just because they're lesbians they can get away with that." Anya said as she huffed over to Xander's side. "Why can't we have sex?”



"Hey, we're lesbians and we didn't get excused to have sex." Faith said looking at Anya not liking that they had been excluded.



"Yeah, that's because you already had sex, before you got here." Anya retorted.



"Anya." Giles said sternly trying to keep a fight between the demon and the slayer from happening. They didn’t need anymore problems.



"What, I like sex too." she said pouting at Xander hoping he would take her side so that could go and have the orgasms she was being kept from.



"What Willow and Tara are looking into might be very helpful to us. How they obtain that information doesn't matter to me right now, just that they do." he said in a tone that made everyone that was listening know that the topic was finished.



"Now, does anyone know how to work this blasted machine?" Giles asked pointing to Willow's laptop.



"I do, what do you need?" Dawn asked putting the laptop in front of her and turning it on.



"I need anything else that Willow was working on." Giles told her.



With a few clicks of the mouse Dawn brought up everything Willow had been looking at and brought up all the pages she had book marked.



"You want everything printed out?" she asked him.



"Yes please."



"Okay." Dawn said clicking the mouse once more.



Waiting for the papers to print, Dawn decided that now would be as good a time as any to address her concerns with Giles.



"Giles, about Mahika."



"Yes, Dawn what is it?" he said.



"All the books and documents say only a God or Goddess of pure heart can defeat her. What are we going to do?" she asked him.



"In all honesty, I don't know. But I do believe that's what Willow is working on figuring out." he said.



"Well, we all know that Tara is the key, and that she's the innocent one. I just hope that's enough." Dawn said grabbing the papers off the printer and giving them to the watcher.

I can wax philisophically on a variety of different subjects...that doesn't,however, mean that I have anything constructive to add to the conversation.

[willow fan7]

Agreed. It's about damn time, girl. Thank you for the update. So, Tara is the key...not sure if I like that part. Spells out danger for our girls to me. But this being the Kitten, I trust that you'll bring our girls safely home, more specifically, to the bedroom . I'd love to see where you'll take this fic.



Anya just cracks me up. That was just so typically Anya of her to say things like that.

“Hey no don’t leave, we have lots of good stuff for you to buy, everyone has sex, hey come back” Anya yelled after the customers that were now leaving.

But here, the energy, the collective intelligence. It's like this force, t-this penetrating force, and I can just feel my mind opening up, you know, and letting this place just thrust into and -- and spurt knowledge into -- that sentence ended up in a different place than it started out in - Willow

~*~Chaper17b~*~



~*~*~*~*~



Willow and Tara finally got back to Giles home and went up to their room. "Willow honey, what are we doing?" Tara asked sitting down on the bed that her and Willow were now sharing.



"What?" Willow asked. "I was distracted by naked thoughts of you."



Blushing, Tara smiled at Willow. "But shouldn't we be helping with research?" She was beginning to feel a little guilty about leaving the others to all the work when her and Willow got to come back to the house.



"You mean you'd rather be reading a book, then making love to me?" Willow asked mock hurt.



"Goddess, No, never." Tara said getting up and wrapping her arms around Willow's neck. "I just thought, with the end of the world and all."



Willow kissed Tara hungrily, slowly pushing her back towards the bed. Pulling back, Tara smiled lovingly at Willow. "Honey, can you at least tell me what's got the gears in your mind running nonstop?"



"Well, we never did get to look more into you having a connection with a God. I suddenly got an idea about the ritual we did with the crystal and why it stopped glowing when I was talking to Giles." Willow said while removing Tara's shirt and bra, and then her own.



"Are you going to tell me about this idea?" Tara asked stepping out of her jeans and pulling Willow's down her legs before tossing them out of the way.



"No, not until I'm sure about what I'm thinking." Willow said bending down to remove Tara's panties.



"O-o-o-....k-k-ay" Tara sputtered as she felt Willow's hot breath on her most intimate spot. "P-p-p-leas-s-se, Willow make love to me."



Willow gently pushed Tara back onto the bed and quickly removed the rest of her own clothing. Crawling up the bed slowly, Willow left a trail of kisses on Tara's sweet skin as she worked her way up the length of Tara’s beautiful body.

Willow gently settled her body onto her lovers. She hovered above Tara, her lips only a breath away from Tara's. Tara closed her eyes and inhaled the sweet scent of her Willow.



"Kiss me." Tara pleaded. "Please Willow, kiss me now."



Willow leaned down and teasingly traced Tara's lips with her tongue. When Tara tried to lift up and meet her in a kiss, Willow pulled back slightly, smiling down upon her. Willow placed her hand in the center of Tara's chest and gently pushed her back down onto the bed.



"Don't rush it baby." Willow said as she shifted her weight onto one elbow reaching over Tara with the other hand she picked up the black velvet bag.



"First we need this out, so we can see it." Willow said dropping the crystal into Tara's open hand.



"Are you sure about this? We almost went blind the last time, remember?" Tara asked turning the crystal over in her fingers.



"I know, but we need to find out. It may be important, to what's going on right now." Willow told her as she took the crystal from her and placed it on the bedside table. "Now, how about them kisses?"



A brilliant smile lit Tara's face. "Yes, please."

Willow grabbed Tara's hands and pinned them above her head. What started out as soft kisses quickly deepened as both women gave into their passion. Willow's eyes fluttered shut for a moment, as she was overwhelmed with the sensation of Tara's body beneath her own. When She opened them again, she found herself staring into beautiful pools of sparkling blue.



"Goddess Tara, you are so beautiful." Willow whispered as she leaned down and kissed Tara's neck hungrily, sucking on her pulse point.



"Oh, Willow." Tara whimpered turning her head to the side, to give Willow better access.



Willow could feel Tara's soft curves molding into her own. She released Tara's hands and ran her fingertips down Tara's sides. Tara took the opportunity of freedom and ran her hand down Willow’s back pulling her even closer.



"Oh, Willow please." Tara breathed.



"What Tara, tell me what you want honey." Willow whispered hotly into Tara's ear.



"I....I...I want.... Willowhand." Tara panted.



Willow grinned sensually, she was more then happy to oblige her lover's wish. Kissing the blonde deeply Willow shifted her weight and positioned herself beside Tara. She began to slowly love every inch of her sweet angel's body. Willow trailed her fingertips lightly between Tara's breasts, grinning wickedly as she noticed the goose bumps rise up under her light touch.



"Mmmm...., I love you My Willow." Tara mumbled.



"I love you too." Willow said softly kissing Tara's lips as she lovingly circled an already hardened nipple with her fingers.

Willow moved her hand lower slowly tracing small circles on

Tara's stomach.



Tara whimpered at the loss of attention to her breasts. Giggling, Willow leaned over her lover capturing her taut nipple between her lips. Sucking the sweet nub between her lips she bit down gently and flicked her tongue over Tara's erect nipple, making Tara cried out for more. Allowing her hand to trace lower, Willow brushed across Tara's thigh, tracing imaginary circles on Tara's hot sensitive skin. Tara shivered knowing how close her lover was to her wet mound, she gasped as she felt Willow's fingertips sweep across her center.



"What do you need?" Willow whispered.



"Wil- l-l-owh-a-a-nd" Tara uttered unintelligible.



"What's that you said honey?" Willow asked smiling wickedly at Tara.



"Willowhand, inside... NOW...." Tara growled latching onto



Willow's waist and positioning her on top, guiding Willow down until she was pressing down upon her most intimate spot. She rocked her hips feeling her wetness mingle with Willow's, making her even hotter.



"Oh yes... Willow please... I need you inside, Now."



Willow eased her hand between Tara's legs. Running her finger the length of Tara's slit seductively playing within the mingled wetness of Tara and herself. She gently pushed one finger slowly into Tara, drawing out a surprised gasp from her lover.



"Oh Willow." Tara gasped when Willow gently slid a second finger within her lover and began pumping quicker and with more force. Tara arched her back and rocked her hips along with the pumping of Willow's hand. Willow could feel herself getting wetter as Tara got closer and closer to her release. Willow was straddling Tara's thigh, and as she rocked into Tara she pressed her leg into the back of her hand as her fingers glided in and out of her love.



"Oh Taraaaa." Willow whimpered.



Moving her hand down between her and Willow, Tara grabbed onto Willow's wrist and slowly pulled, removing Willow's fingers from inside her.



"Tara, what...?" Willow started to ask, but was cut off by Tara's lips on hers.



"Sshhhh" Tara said kissing Willow with more passion.



Pulling back to look into Willow's eyes, Tara smiled sweetly. "I want to feel you on me, I want to finish together. Letting our juices mix."



"Ohhkay" Willow breathed.



Tara grabbed Willow around the waist and guided her to just the right spot where they could feel each other and their wetness. Tara raised her hips up, pulling down on Willow as Willow realized what it was Tara wanted. Willow began to rock her hips with Tara's, crying out when she felt Tara's wetness rub against her clit.



"Oh goddess Tara..." Willow moaned.

Tara squeezed her eyes shut and let her head fall back onto the pillow as she was over come with the sensations running through her body as Willow made love to her. Willow placed her hands on each side of Tara's shoulders and used the momentum of their rocking motion to press her wet throbbing clit harder into Tara's pulsating wet center. Feeling her body begin to shake within the throes of passion, Willow looked down upon her lover. The sight before her immediately mesmerized her. Tara was lost in the sensations of their passion and had her head thrown back and her eyes squeezed shut.







"Tara baby, open your eyes, look at me." Willow whispered to her lover.



Tara opened her eyes and was lost in exquisite green ones.



"I love you Willow." Tara said just as Willow bent down and began teasing her lips with her tongue.



"I love you too." Willow said thrusting her tongue into Tara's mouth moaning as they increased their rocking motions.



"Oh yes, Willow, yessss." Tare cried out as she raised her hips up to meet Willow's in one last amazing thrust.



Willow held tightly to Tara's hips as she continued rocking with Tara's thrusts. As Tara cried out and thrust up into Willow one last time, Willow cried out in incomprehensible ecstasy. Willow collapsed gently onto Tara reveling in the joy and bliss, that was her Tara. Riding out the throes of their passion, they both failed to notice the crystal when it exploded into a brilliant silver light. As they came down from their explosive love making the crystal dimmed slightly but continued to glow.



"Wow!" Willow whispered hoarsely as she left small fleeting kisses along Tara's collarbone.



"I love you my Willow." Tara said looking up at Willow with a crooked sensual grin.



"I love you too baby." Willow said sliding off to Tara's side.



"Willow?" Tara asked quietly.



"Um hum." Willow mumbled refusing to move her head from it's resting place on her love’s chest.



"Willow, Willow the crystal." Tara said shifting herself so that Willow would lean up and take notice.



Looking at the crystal Willow noticed that it was glowing brightly.



"Oh Goddess, I forgot about the crystal."



Jumping up Willow went around to the other side of the bed and picked up the crystal giving it to Tara. "Hold this, I'm going to walk to the other side of the room. Watch the crystal, tell me if it dims or brightens."



"Okay, but Willow why?" Tara asked leaning back against the headboard as she watched her lover travel the distance to the opposite wall.



Willow was staring at Tara, but not really seeing her. It was as if she were looking right through her.



"Willow," Tara called out.



Willow continued to stare, as if she were in a trance.



"Willow, honey please, you're scaring me" Tara called out again.



Willow blinked her eyes several times, with a look of confusion on her face she inched back towards Tara.



"What happened sweetie, are you okay?" Tara asked in concern for her lover.



"I don’t know what happened." She answered truthfully looking back to her lover, silently apologizing for scaring her.



She looked at the body of the woman that had just given her so much pleasure and felt love build up deep inside her. "Tara, your birthmark... look at it"



Looking down, Tara dropped the crystal in surprise. Her birthmark was glowing silver as bright as the crystal itself was glowing. You could see each marking as if a God or Goddess had drawn it on her in great detail themselves.



"Willow, what is it?" Tara asked a little uneasy.



Willow walked over to where her lover was sitting on their bed and bent down and ran her hand through her lover’s hair. She began to inspect her lover’s birthmark. "Well it looks like four small detailed pictures." Willow said running her fingertips over her love mark.



"We need to get back to the Magic Box, I know I saw something on the Web about those symbols. It means something important, I just can't remember what," kissing Tara softly on the lips, Willow pulled her to her feet and picked up their clothes that were scattered around the room. They quickly got dressed and headed for the Magic Box.

Tara's birthmark glowing is worrying though. I hope it doesn't mean anything bad. Another update soonish?

They walked hand in hand toward the magic box enjoying the fresh sunlight. As they were walking down past the butcher shop, Willow felt a cold sensation travel down her spine. She pulled Tara to a stop looking around nervously, "Tara do you feel that," she asked trying to make sure she hadn’t imagined anything.



"Yes I do, it’s odd, I sense evil but not danger." Tara answered turning toward a dark alley. "She’s been following us since we left Giles, she doesn’t mean to harm us though."



"Wait, what? Tara," Willow asked following her lover. As Willow fully entered the alleyway the smell of rotting meat assaulted her senses. She looked behind her making sure no one had watched them walk into the alleyway. When she was sure no one could come in unannounced and take them by surprise she turned around to face the direction in which her lover faced.



"AHHHHH," Willow shrieked as someone burst out of the darkened alley right in front of Tara. A couple of rats scurried out of the alleyway at the sound of the redhead’s scream.



"DRUSILLA, what are you doing here?" Willow shouted shocked as she recognized the vampire dressed in a beautiful gothic red dress that swept the ground. The woman carefully perched herself atop a crate and seemed almost sane.



"Shh, you needn’t be scared lovers. I’m just here because of the present." Dru said in her sultry way as they seemed to effortlessly drifted toward her.



Trying to back away, Willow threw up her hands, "Whoa, Whoa, stay back."



"I have a message for you, a message swirling around in my head." Dru said swaying back and forth. The vampire ran her fingers through her long brown hair and her eyes glazed over briefly. Almost as quickly, her eyes changed again looking like a lost child. She looked down at the ground, then at Tara, then Willow, back to the ground, and then to the skies.



Taking Willow’s hand, Tara asked Dru softly but confidently, "What message Drusilla?"



Tara’s question effectively got Dru’s attention. "Oh, I see what you can not. Someone’s belly’s rumbling, I see something glowing and glistening, something… effulgent."



"What the hell are you talking about?" Willow huffed walking right up to Dru putting forth more courage then she really felt.



"I see such pretty light. Brighter then the stars, all around you." Dru commented looking past Willow as she drifted toward Tara. "Miss Edith never had a mummy."



"Do you see it? Such pretty silver light." Dru mumbled to no one as she reached out and brushed her fingertips across Tara’s stomach. She licked her lips slowly and looked down at the area her hand covered against Tara’s stomach closing her eyes. "Oh yes, a present indeed, is soon to be," she whispered opening her brown eyes. Tara looked down at the hand that touched her stomach and raised her eyes to look into the brown ones in front of her.



Willow pulled Tara back quickly, not trusting Drusilla. "If you have something to tell us Dru, just say it."



"Study, study or no bedtime stories for you little one." Dru said to Willow her voice changing back into her regular tone as she began backing away. "Rrrruff," Dru barked as she disappeared back into the darkened alley.



Staring at the departing vampire, Willow shook her head. "What on earth does that mean?"



"Come on, we have to get to the Magic Box." Tara said taking Willow’s hand and pulling her along.

~Chapter 18b ~



~*~*~*~*~



Deeply engrossed in research mode the group was startled when Tara and Willow burst into the Magic Box.



Buffy jumped up when the door burst open and met the two witches as they came down the steps. She recognized the look on her best friend’s face as one of the purest annoyance.



“Will, what’s wrong? Are you all right?”



“It was Drusilla, she was here.” Willow said looking over toward Spike, hoping to see some kind of knowledge that the blonde vampire knew already. The blonde vampire looked surprised and caught the slayer’s eyes making sure she knew the truth.



“Drusilla, are you sure?” Spike asked. Rushing to Buffy’s side he began looking the two witches over for any sign of harm.



“Yes, it was her alright.” Willow said taking her place in her favorite comfy armchair.



“What did she want? She didn’t hurt you guys?” Buffy asked taking her cue from Spike and looking Willow and Tara over more thoroughly for signs of injury.



“No, she said she had a message for us and then left.” Tara said sitting down next to Willow taking her lovers hand in her own.



“A message, what message?” Dawn asked setting her book aside and going to Tara and Willow.



“It was weird, it’s like she speaks in riddles...” Tara said as she caught the eye of the blonde vampire.



“She’s always been like that, ever since pretty boy drove her insane. Listen to what she says though. It won’t make sense at first but you’ll always see, in the end. She may be insane, but at times she can be more sensible then anyone.” Spike said looking right into the blond witches eyes.



“Do her predictions always come true? The riddles… what do they mean? Could this just be another rambling…”



“She’s plum crazy, that’s what she is.” Willow blurted out interrupting Tara. “Sorry baby.”



“Look at you Red, you’re getting all butch.” The blonde vampire teased gently, loving the glare she shot in his direction. “She didn’t threaten your bird did she?” He asked his concern for the blonde showing through his strong features.



“Willow? Did she threaten either of you?” Giles asked coming from the back of the shop.



Noticing that the entire group was now surrounding her and Tara, Willow tried to calm her nerves before going about telling her friends what Dru had said and done.



“She didn’t threaten us exactly. I don’t think she meant to harm us…..”



“She touched you! Buffy I swear she touched her. If it weren’t for her saying she had a message for us I would have disintegrated her right then and there, but I thought her message might have been important to what is going on now.” Willow said interrupting Tara once more. Immediately realizing she had interrupted her lover a second time she sent her a silent apology.



“She touched you, she didn’t hurt you Tara?” Buffy asked ready to beat the insane vampire. She kneeled in front of the blonde and looked into her eyes.



“No, she just brushed her finger tips against me.” She looked toward her lover then into the slayer’s eyes. The blonde seemed ready to stick up for the insane vampire.



“Did she say anything to you when she touched you Tara? Where did she touch you?” Giles asked anxiously.



“She just brushed her fingers across my stomach. She did say something strange though.” Tara said looking over to Willow. She traced the same path that the vampire’s fingers had taken on her stomach as her words repeated in her head.



“What was it Tara? What did she say to you?” Buffy asked.



Tara looked at Willow, a bit nervous with everyone looking at her. She lowered her head and hid behind her hair.



Willow noticed Tara’s discomfort and squeezed her lovers hand giving her support. She brought Tara’s hand to her lips and placed a gentle kiss on her soft skin.

"She said that a present is soon to be." Green eyes locked on blue as they silently gave their thoughts on what the message meant.



~*~*~*~*~



"A present? What the bloody hell is that supposed to mean?" Spike huffed slumping down in a chair near Willow’s. He bit his lip in a pure Willow manner and tried to figure out what the lovely vampire meant. Knowing her for centuries had given him some insight into her head.



"Well let’s think about this, it’s coming from Drusilla it could mean any number of things. She talks in riddles but there always seems to be something important behind her nonsense." Giles said worriedly pacing the Magic Box.



"Well that’s easy,” Dawn squeaked a bit to excited startling everyone. “Let’s ask Anya. She’s crazy too" Dawn shot the demon an evil grin. She caught Willow’s eye and was rewarded with a small smile from the red head.



"Hey, I might be a bit dense at times, maybe even rude and out spoken, but I am not crazy. God Xander, are you ever going to stand up for me like Willow and Tara do for each other?" Anya asked bitterly smacking Xander.



"Alright, alright. Everyone just calm down, let’s just think about this. We can figure this out if we all work together." Buffy said looking at Giles silently telling him everything would be okay.



"We’ve still got the problem of Mahika and the Ravana." Giles said to the group not meaning to put more pressure on the group.



"Okay, so half of us will work on that and the rest of us will work on trying to figure out what Dru meant." Buffy said taking charge.



"Wait, Buffy… I think Willow and I should take care of Drusilla’s mixed message ourselves." Tara said looking down shyly not wanting to meet the blonde’s inquisitive eyes.



"Tara… do you know what Dru meant?" Buffy asked. She looked over to her Watcher silently wanting to make sure she wasn’t the only one that was out of the loop. Her watcher shrugged his shoulders and then she turned her attention to her best friend, but the redhead’s attention was on the blonde.



"No, it’s not that. Tara quickly said looking up as she read Buffy’s thoughts. It’s just… she said it to me, and she touched me and I feel like it’s something I have to figure out on my own. That Willow and I have to figure out." Tara said meeting Buffy's gaze for the first time since this ordeal began.



"Okay Tara, but we’re here if you need us alright?" Buffy said smiling warmly at Tara.



"Thank you, thank you all." Tara said as she left her place beside Willow and headed for Buffy’s training room passing by everyone’s questioning eyes just wanting to get away and think.



"Tara honey wait, what’s wrong?" Willow asked quickly following Tara into the training room.



~*~*~*~*~



Closing the door to the training room Willow watched as her lover paced the room nervously.



“Tara honey, are you alright?” Willow asked putting her hand on Tara’s shoulders stopping her.



“Will, do you have any idea what Dru might have meant?”



“Only what you’ve been thinking yourself honey. But I don’t understand how that could be, it’s not possible.” Willow answered.



“But I think that’s exactly what she meant, and she’s right, and we both know it. Maybe we should get to work on finding out what the birthmarks mean, because Willow honey, you have one too.” Tara said slowly pulling up Willow’s shirt exposing her beautiful stomach.



“Where? Tara I don’t see anything.” Willow said following Tara’s gaze to the right side of her stomach.



“It’s there Will, just watch.” Tara said as she placed her lips to Willow’s and kissed her passionately.



As Willow melted into Tara and wrapped her arms around her lovers neck, the birthmark on her stomach began to glow a brilliant silver.



Pulling back, still holding the red heads shirt up, Tara glanced down and smiled. “See honey, I told you.”



“Oh Goddess, Tara why didn’t you tell me before?” Willow asked running her fingertips over her own birthmark. “Tara let me see yours again.”



Tara looked at Willow mock shocked, “this is no place for that?” She said smiling her crooked sensual smile. She unbuttoned her jeans and pulled them half way down her legs revealing her glowing birthmark to her lover. “Willow what are you thinking?”



“Tara, how did you know that my birthmark would glow when you kissed me?” Willow asked not even realizing she had ignored her lover’s question.



“I didn’t for sure, but I know that mine was glowing blindingly bright after we made love, and that I noticed yours not after we made love, but when you came back to the bed and kissed me, before we got dressed. I was suspicious that our intimacy causes them to show.” Tara said pulling her jeans back up and fastening them.



“Will honey, what are you thinking?” Tara asked recognizing the look of pure concentration on her lovers beautiful face.



"These symbols are important. We need to find out what they stand for, and why we bare them." Willow said as she ran her hand through her hair and looked into the eyes of her distraught lover.



She usually loved a good mystery or puzzle and had to solve a couple to save the world from some impending apocalypse or another, but this was far different. This would have something to do with them. Something to do with her Tara.



"Willow… " Tara said concerned and a bit scared.



Willow was always the one with the answers and the idea that the lack of information was causing her to wear down scared Tara. She had always been the calmer and more rational of the two but Tara could tell this was scaring her as well. They need more time to think this through. Research was always the best option.



The room felt small and stuffy all the sudden. Tara tried to steady herself, to stop the room from spinning. "Will…. " She reached out to grab for the redhead’s arm but her hand slipped off the material of her lover’s shirt. She could see her lover reaching for her and could faintly hear her call out her name. She could just barely hear how terrified how scared her girl was and wanted to reassure her, but the room seemed to be closing in on her. She wished someone would open up a window or something. She could barely keep herself up anymore and felt her knees buckling under her as her vision went blurry, and then black.



Willow caught Tara as she passed out and crumpled to the floor.



~*~*~*~*~



Buffy, do you think Tara and Willow are alright?" Dawn asked just as a shout for help came from the training room. She caught her sister’s eye as they bolted from their chairs.



"Buffy that's Willow, something's wrong." Dawn said calling back over her shoulder as she ran to the training room with everyone else right on her heals.



"Will, what's wrong?" Buffy asked pushing her way through her friends and into the training room.



Willow sat on the floor of the training room with Tara's head cradled in her lap, whispering loving words in her lover's ear as she softly brushed Tara's hair off her forehead.



"Goddess Buffy, I don't know what happened. She just passed out, I don't know what's wrong with her." She cradled the blonde’s head in her lap and played with the hair framing her lover’s face. She silently willed the beautiful blue eyes to open but they remained closed and her face serene. Willow knew that whatever was wrong with Tara had to do with the birthmarks and the message from Dru. She had to figure this out. She couldn't let anything happen to Tara again, never again.



"Giles, can I get a blanket and some water." Willow asked never looking up from her lover's radiant face.



She wished she knew why her lover had fainted. Tara wasn't sick, at least not as far as Willow knew. Tara would have told her if she wasn't feeling well.



After carefully making sure Tara was comfortable and resting well, Willow followed the others out of the training room. She noticed the same concerned look on faces of all her friends. Buffy looked worried and ready to fight the fight against whatever they sent her way. There she stood in the perfect stance of her calling ready to protect the ones she loved. She stood before her long time friend completely still and alert.



"Giles, about that ritual with Tara's crystal…. I need to talk to you about what happened and what else we found." Willow said sitting down in the comfy chair beside Dawn.



"Oh yeah, lets talk about the ritual and their orgasms Giles, come on." Anya declared sitting down interested in the conversation going on now.



"Anya please, this is important, my girl friend is lying in there on the floor for reasons we don't know. Enough of your nonsense."



She usually would have let Anya’s crude remark slide being more then used to her constant sex talk and very blunt attitude but she was so worried right now.

~*~Chapter 19~*~

~*~*~*~*~


"Sorry Willow," Anya said, a bit of a pout crossing her lips. She lowered her gaze to the floor to avoid any glares she might receive from the gang. She slumped guiltily down in her chair, wishing she'd think before she opened her mouth. She would have to work harder on watching what she said. Tara was still one of her best friends, and she wasn’t about to be the one that slowed down anything that could lead to solving whatever was wrong with the blonde witch. She vowed to stay out of the way unless she knew she could truly help in some way.

The room remained silent; the air around them remained stressed. Willow got up from where she’d been perched on the wall and walked over to the ex-demon. She waited a few seconds, wanting Anya to meet her gaze as she looked down at her. Willow brought a single slender finger down beneath Anya’s chin and brought their eyes together. Willow smiled knowingly at her, "I know you are, I'm sorry I snapped. We just have to figure this out. I can't stand not knowing what's wrong with Tara."

Anya nodded her agreement and smiled sincerely back at Willow, whom she once tried so hard to hate. Maybe this could be the start of a beautiful friendship. A bit of a cliché but that’s what she now wanted from Willow. She played such an important role in so many lives.

"Willow, where do you want to start?" Dawn asked, ready to dive into research mode.

Slumping down in a chair at the center table, Willow bowed her head and took a deep breath.

"Tara and I have these birthmarks. They're not the same, but they are obviously connected. I need to research the symbols. I'm sure I saw something about them before."

"Symbols? Willow, what do they look like?" Anya asked, perking up at something she might actually be able to help with.

As Anya said this, Willow slowly made her way over to the door leading to the training room. She watched the beautiful face of her sweet lover as she slept, and sent a silent prayer for her to get well soon. She watched as Faith had Tara’s head in her lap, and was softly brushing aside the fine hairs from her forehead. She didn’t know how she knew it exactly, but Willow knew that she could trust the young slayer with the most important person in her life, and she also knew that it was also an important step for Faith.

"Well, Tara's has four symbols. A funny looking-shelled thing, a throwing discus, a ceremonial staff, and the lotus flower.” As the words came from her mouth, she watched Faith's attention leave Tara and settle on her. Faith’s eyes relayed the confidence that she would indeed protect the blonde and watch over her. She nodded to Willow and brought her attention back to Tara.

Anya jumped up from her seat; in one swift move she had cleared the distance between herself and Willow and was now just inches from her.

" Are you sure about this?" Anya asked, very excitedly.

"What's going on Anya," Buffy asked, as she joined her friends at the entrance to the training room.

"Giles, a little help here, I mean it can't be . . . can it?" Anya asked, turning around looking seriously at Giles.

"What the hell is going on Anya?" Willow asked, turning her friend back around to face her.

"Willow, you've described four symbols of a major Hindu God." Giles said, cleaning his glasses for what seemed, the thousandth time.

"What does that mean?" Dawn asked.

"Wait, Will, you said you have one too, right?" Buffy asked.

"That's right; what are yours?" Giles asked as he finally finished cleaning his glasses and placed them back on.

"I only had three; a fully bloomed lotus flower, a lotus bud, and three coins." Willow said, looking towards Giles for some sign that he knew what hers were as well.

"Oh My God, Giles..." Anya shrieked, as she flew to the books on the table. She began to open books, every so often tossing one aside to begin searching through another. No one had ever seen her treat her merchandise so carelessly. They all looked to each other, trying to make sense of Anya's unusual behavior. After a couple minutes they continued to watch this odd behavior, until Dawn had finally had enough.

"Dammit, Anya you're freaking us all out." Dawn yelled, as she stepped forward and grabbed Anya's arm. "What's going on?"

"Tara's a Goddess." Xander whispered softly, but the others still heard him, and turned to him in shock. He grinned sheepishly at all the astonished faces and adopted a mock-insulted look. "What? I'm not completely useless," he said.

"So, she is the one that will save us" Dawn said.

"No, I'm not." Tara said, as she slowly emerged from the training room with Faith not even two steps behind her. Tara slowly made her way to Willow’s side, as Faith made her way over to Buffy's. Tara found the hand of her soul mate, and gave it a happy squeeze. She was granted a smile in return. The greeting of the slayers was much more subdued, but no less loving. Faith rounded Buffy's side and stood beside her.

"But you're a Goddess," Xander said.

"Yes I am, and so is Willow. But it's not her, nor I, that will save the world this time."

"No, that can't be, it has to be the two of you." Dawn said pacing the floor. The two slayers moved over to the counter. Faith jumped up on the glass, hoping that Anya’s new mood toward the Magic Box would still hold so she wouldn’t get yelled at. When she didn’t get scolded, she guided her girlfriend between her legs so that Buffy’s back was toward her. Faith wrapped her arms lovingly around Buffy’s neck. She smiled gently when she felt her predecessor lean into her warmth. They watched the activity going on around them, taking in every detail as a slayer does.

"Dawn, what did all the research say about Mahika?" Tara asked, sitting down calmly at the table. Willow grabbed a chair and placed it as close as possible to her lover, sitting next to Tara, she took her hand in hers.

"Just that she can only be defeated by a God or Goddess of pure heart." Dawn said, getting together all of the research on Mahika in case it would be needed.

"That's right, but who has a pure heart? Willow and I don’t. We've both been tainted by life." Tara said softly.

"A baby? A baby is pure at heart. It hasn't yet been tainted by the world." Dawn said, catching on. "So wait, we have to find a baby God or Goddess?

Tara laughed light heartedly as the bell above the Magic Box door rang, announcing a new arrival.

"No Dawn, you already have one." Cordelia said, as she smiled knowingly at Tara. Buffy smiled toward her childhood friend and wrapped herself tighter into the arms of her girlfriend.

"Say what?" Xander asked, standing up and walking over to give his ex a hug. He then walked back to the table where his current love sat.

"It's lovely to see you again Cordelia, but why are you here?" Giles asked.

"I had a vision and I came to help," Cordelia said, reaching out and taking Tara's hand as she approached the group. “You were in my vision Tara…… as well as you Willow."

"What is going on?" Will asked, slumping back down. "I'm so tired none of this makes sense."

Tara let go of Cordelia's hand and turned to her girlfriend. "Will, honey, our baby……. will be of pure heart."

"Baby, what baby? How?"

"The prophecy says, a child born pure God or Goddess by earthbound parents will save the world against a great evil," Cordelia explained to the group, meeting their eyes and holding them. Her gaze finally settled on Willow. "That baby is you and Tara's daughter."

"A daughter?" She switched her gaze from Tara to Cordelia, seeking answers from both of the strong women. She couldn’t understand how each of them was so sure. "Wait a second." Willow took a deep breath capturing the blue eyes of her love, as the biggest smile imaginable took over her.

"Oh My Goddess, Tara you’re... I mean are we..."

"Yes honey, we are" Tara said.

Dibbs!

Hi there! I seem to recall reading this a long, long time ago and loving it. I've left feedback here before, but I think it was so long ago that it was left under my old screen name (TeesEmmy) Anyway...I'm so glad to see one of the classics returning to activity. I can't wait to read this again and get all refreshed on what's happened thus far.

Can't wait for more!
