Chapter 12
The three days that past was strange. There was a distance between the two summers women and Willow and Tara were extra nervous around each other. Buffy went to pick up Anya and Xander at the airport while Dawn, Tara, Kira, and Willow watched the shop. After a phone call Tara left to go pick up a few things Giles sent from England.
The bell rang and Willow saw a blonde enter the shop. "Welcome to the Magic Box how may I help you?" Willow asked politely but her thoughts drifted off to a certain blonde haired witch. "I'm looking for Kira is she here?" the blonde asked. Willow looked at the blonde for a moment before pointing at Kira who was helping Dawn with a customer.
When the customer left she walked behind Kira before asking "Do you have any intresting sex spells?" the blonde asked. Kira turned around and smiled after seeing who it was. "Jade what are you doing here?" Kira asked amused. Dawn heard the name and looked up before walking over where Willow was.
"What's wrong Dawnie?" Willow asked seeing Dawn's frown. Dawn looked at the two then shrugged muttering "Nothing." Willow looked at Kira and Jade before turning to Dawn. "Who is that blonde?" Willow asked. "Jade" Dawn answered simply. "Close friend of Kira's?" Willow asked. "No more like her girlfriend." Dawn said but got up when the bell rang again.
Everybody turned around to see a smiling Anya walk through the door with Buffy and Xander carrying a pile of things. Jade looked at Kira and raised an eyebrow. Kira just shrugged and smile at Anya's happiness. "What did you do buy the whole island?" Buffy asked when a shirt from the top landed in front of her face. "Oh no that we could have never of bought the whole island. I don't think we have enough money to buy a piece of an island." Anya informed as Xander and Buffy laid the items on the desk.
"I need to unpack our suitcase okay hon?" Xander asked sighing in relief that the weight in his arms was gone. "Okay but hurry back I want you to see them unwrap their presents." Anya said. Jade looked at everyone sadly but then turned and whispered in Kira's ear "I should go now I'll see you later." Kira felt the hot breath on her ear and blushed and nodded.
When Jade left the magic box Anya turned to Kira. "Who was that?" Anya asked. "A friend." Kira answered before the bell rang once again signaling Tara's return. Tara spotted Anya and smiled wanting to wave but couldn't with the box in her hand. "I got that." Buffy said and took the box out of Tara's hand and Tara went to hug Anya. "There is so much I want to tell you!" Anya practically screamed.
"Anya can this wait cause Tara has kind of a date today." Kira said and Tara glared at her. Kira looked at Tara with a smirk on her face saying "Ha Ha you can't get out of this now." Tara can just imagine Kira looking at her with her tongue sticking out at her. "A date?? With who cause I thought you know with you and Willow." Anya asked Tara confused.
"I'll explain it to you while we go eat. Dawn wanna come?" Kira asked seeing Dawn feeling left out. "Okay sure!! Wait what about Willow?" Dawn asked looking at Willow. "I'm sure she got plans already." Kira filled in and dragged Anya and Dawn to a restuarant to chat. Tara and Willow looked at each other nervously.
"Come on lets get some coffee." Tara said and went to get her jacket. Willow smiled and went to get her own jacket. In the storage room Buffy smiled a first real smile in a long time. "I hope this works out Willow." Buffy whispered as she waited for the two to leave. Tara and Willow went back to room ready to go. When Tara and Willow finally left Buffy went to the room carrying a dark blue crystal.
"This is pretty wonder where Giles got this?" Buffy asked herself as she placed the crystal in her pocket and closed the store early. At the Expresso Pump Willow chatted eagerly telling Tara what she missed when she left. "Okay, wait it was under her wig?" Tara asked in disbelief. "Well, it was this thing, it just came out from inside her head." Willow explained.
Tara had a look of disgust on her face. "That's disgusting!! What did it look like??" Tara asked then mentally smacking herself really not wanting to know that part. "Well let's put it this way if I wasn't gay before..." Willow left the sentence unfinished and Tara laughed. "Oh Goddess and this was after the invisible ray gun?" Tara asked. Willow nodded her head and said "Yep." smiling.
"Okay. I'm gone for a couple of months...." "Oh, did I tell you about the demon eggs?" Willow asked interupting. "See, now I know you just making me jealous." Tara said still laughing. "So, what, no rollicking adventures in the dorms?" Willow asked grinning. "Mm, it's not the same. It's not like living with a house full of family, or sharing a room with someone you..." "you're friends with?" Willow finished.
They both look at each other for a few minutes before a shadow towered over them. "Well lookie here if it isn't Tara. So where is that dyke friend of yours anyways?" Scott asked looking for Kira. "She is not here." Tara said quietly. "You think you can leave we are kinda talking here." Willow added. "Oh you must be another one of Tara's dyke friends I guess other people aren't dumb enough to be around you." Scott said and snickered.
Willow's hand was shaking in rage but she was fighting to control it. Scott continued to taunt Tara not noticing the shaking redhead. Then a second later he was on the floor his hand over his stomach. Next to him was a smirking blonde. "Awww I'm sorry did my fist greet your stomach?? I was just moving and it just couldn't stop, kinda like you mouth." the blonde said and shook her head.
"Don't mind him he is just a jerk." the blonde said to the two. "Wait you were that girl in the magic box you were talking to Kira right?" Willow said. "Yeah, my name is Jade." Jade said and smiled. Tara couldn't take her eyes off of her there was something familar yet unfamilar at the same time. "Jade?? You mean the Jade the one Kira always talks about and goes all doe eyed??" Tara asked.
"Probably but don't mention the whole doe eyed thing to Kira she hates it when she let things out." Jade said and mentally slapped herself for letting that slip. "What is so wrong about showing that you care for someone?" Willow asked confused. "She thinks it is a weakness." Jade answered and looked at the time, "Damn I got to go give my regards to Kira when you see her." Jade said and took off. Both of them looked at each other then at the wounded Scott.
"Wanna leave??" Willow asked. "Sure" Tara answered and got up. Across town in a little restuarant called Mario's Dawn and Kira listen to Anya happily talk about her time in Hawaii. Kira then looks at the watch. "Crap it is getting kinda late we should head home." Kira states. "Yeah we do't want to run into some vampires." Dawn said. Anya stares at Dawn in surprise then at Kira who seems unfazed.
"She already knows." Dawn answered Anya's silent question. "How? When?" Anya asked confused. "For awhile now I only found out at Buffy's birthday. I think she's a witch" Dawn said. "Can you keep it a secret?" Kira asked. "Why they can use some help!! Unless you're bad. You aren't bad right?" Anya asked uncertain. "I'm not evil if that is what you're asking but I just don't want to tell everyone cause they will want to know about how I learned, if my parents were witches and warlocks, or my past." Kira said whispering the last part.
"Okay it'll be a secret only us three have then." Anya exclaimed excitingly. Kira smiled and nodded "Come on, destination Summer's Residence." Kira said mockingly. The three left torwards 1630 revello drive while someone in the shadows smiled. The figure steps into the light revealing Amy Madison. "Rack will like this Kira girl. She has a lot of powers." Amy said to herself and grinned mischeviously.

I'm gonna wrap it up soon but there will be a sequel. I just need sometime to plot the stuff that happens after Seeing Red. I got a thirteen year old helping me out. She's better than me and I'm eighteen. She got great imagination though. I already got lots of ideas coming from her already.

Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstacy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bare. If we can live without passion maybe we'd know some peace. But we'd be hollow, empty rooms, shuttered, and dank, With out passion we'd truly be dead. ANGEL in "Passion"
