Chapter 8
The week passed by quickly and Buffy's birthday was near. Both Tara and Kira were getting ready. Tara had a dress on while Kira had a black sweater and a long leather skirt on. "Kira can you not...." "Come face to face with Willow?" Kira finished and Tara nodded. "No problem but you have to keep her busy." Kira said and winked.
Both of them we the last person to the party and Kira was nervous. Plus the glares from Willow didn't help. Everything was going fine and it was time to open the presents. Buffy had opened almost all of them but Dawn's and Kira's. Buffy opened Dawn's present and gasped at the sight of the leather jacket and boots. "Dawn how did you buy this?" Buffy asked. "I had some help." Dawn answered and winked at Kira who smiled.
Tara caught the wink and smiled also. It was Kira's turn and she was extra nervous. Kira stayed in the background when Buffy opened her present. Buffy first saw a wooden chest then she opened it and her jaw dropped. "Oh bloody hell show us the damn present already." Spike said. Buffy showed the present to everyone. Spike was speechless while Anya was shocked and Tara was staring at Kira who was hiding in the shadows.
Buffy ran and gave Kira a bear hug. "Oh crap lacking oxygen right now!" Kira said. Buffy dropped her and blushed. "I don't get it." Willow said jealous at the effection Kira got from Buffy. "It's a bloody Dragon Blade. It's a rare find. Myth says the gods and the goddesses enchanted a few long ago I mean long long time ago." Spike said staring at the blade in awe. "How did you know Buffy would like it?" Willow asked suspicous. "Oh when Tara and me went to shop for Buffy's present Tara stopped in front of the weapon shop and it kinda gave me a clue. Then when me a Dawn went shopping I asked Dawn and she said you collected." Kira answered.
After Buffy calmed down Buffy went to get something while Spike followed. Tara saw this and also followed. Kira was already in another room but no one noticed. Buffy was in a corner with Spike in front of her. "Wanna blow my candles?" Spike asked. Spike held her hand but Buffy pulled away when she spotted Tara. Buffy left the room and Spike was trying to explain. "I needed help....muscle cramp." Spike said. "In your pants?" Tara asked while Kira laughed to herself overhearing everything.
Tara left and bumped into Kira who was trying hard not to laugh out loud. "You over heard?" Tara asked and Kira nodded barely stiffled a laugh. "Muscle cramp?? I'm sure that will work." Kira said shook her head. Everyone was playing games Buffy, Dawn, Anya, and one of Xander's friend was playing monoply while Clem, Xander, Spike, Tara and Kira were playing poker.
"You should put some ice on that." Tara said to Spike. "Huh?" Spike said confused the he remembered "Oh right muscle cramp." "You have muscle cramp?? You should rub it so it can relax unless it is somewhere...privite then it'll only tense up more." Kira added looking at Tara trying hard not to laugh. "Bloody hell!" Spike said and slammed his cards down and left to another room. "I don't get it?" Clem said. Kira and Tara looked at each other before laughing.
Everybody slept over that night and it was morning. Tara was in the kitchen with Willow talking while Buffy and Spike played cards. Dawn and Anya we still playing monoply with Kira taking over for Buffy while Xander watched cartoons. Spike was making fun of Xander's friend only to get dragged by Buffy to the next room. After a few minutes Buffy came in and said "Guys we got a problem."
All of the scoobies were in the living room discussing the situation while Kira was in Dawn's room taking the red box with the stolen jewelry and hid it in the closet. Kira went down stairs and heard Willow confess that she hid some magic ingredience. Tara was in the kitchen doing the spell while Spike, Willow, and the other guy were standing at the door. Tara finished the spell and red air spread around. Kira was standing between the kitchen and the front door.
"Guys watch out!" Kira yelled after seeing the creature appear. Buffy came charging in and fighting it till it went in the walls. "What was that?" Dawn asked. "That was the thing I killed two days ago." Buffy responded. "That was the thing you thought you killed two days ago." Spike said. "Don't worry guys I'll get us out of this soon." Buffy said.
The night was over and the sun was in the sky. "Okay soon was a bad choose in words." Buffy said as she crossed the living room. "I'm glad you guys are stuck here." Dawn mumbled. No one heard her but Kira who was sitting right next to her. Dawn got up and went upstairs. Kira followed her and entered Dawn's room. "Dawn what did you mean your glad we are stuck here?" Kira asked. "Nothing." Dawn said. "Come on it's me you can tell me anything." Kira said. "I wish." Dawn grumbled.
"What do you mean?" Kira asked. "I mean alot of things." Dawn replied. "Oh you mean the magic and the demon thing?? That's nothing." Kira said. Dawn stared at Kira but Kira put a finger on her lips. "It'll be our little secret." Kira added. Dawn nodded excited that she and Kira shared a secret. "So what did you mean down stairs that you were glad that we are stuck here?" Kira asked. "I didn't want you to get stuck here I wanted the everyone else to be stuck here." Dawn answered.
"Dawn you didn't have anything to do with this did you?" Kira asked softly. "No of course not why would you think that." Dawn asked hurt. "I didn't mean it like that it's just that you wanted everyone to be stuck here and it happened." Kira answered. "Yeah I even wished it when I went to the..." "You wished it?" Kira asked interupting Dawn. "Uh huh why?" Dawn asked.
Kira got up and held her hand to Dawn. "Come on I think I know what happened." Kira said and walked out of the room. Kira and Dawn walked down the steps and heard Anya asking Willow to do magic and Tara was a standing up to her. "She is probably the only one who can get us out!" Anya snapped. "She said no and that's the end of it." Tara said. "It's her fault she is afraid of doing magic." Anya said as the wall next to her Tara and Willow transfigure.
Kira saw this and ran jumping onto the demon as it came out of the walls. The demon threw her to the wall and slashed her legs before it vanished. Kira stood up ignoring the pain. "Kira are you alright?" Tara asked. "Yeah I'm fine I just wanna know what the hell you guys are bickering about that you didn't notice the walls!" Kira yelled. Kira tried to walk forward but only fell to her knees. Both Tara and Dawn were at her side immediently.
Kira couldn't breath right and passed out. Buffy came in and saw Kira on the floor. She carried Kira to the living room and laid her on the couch. Buffy saw the cut on Kira's leg and saw it blackened. "Guys what happened?" Buffy asked. "The demon almost attacked us but Kira jumped on it's back." Willow answered. Anya got a good look at the cut and said "She's poisoned." "What?" Dawn said worried. "Look at it the infection is traveling her blood system." Anya said pointing at the viens near the scar turning purple.
Everybody was pacing but Dawn and Tara who were taking care of Kira. "What are we going to do?" Dawn asked. "When we get out I need some herbs to cure the poisin." Tara answered as she pushed a stray hair away from Kira's sweaty forehead. Tara went up to get some water and only Kira and Dawn remained in the living room. A loud roar shook the house and the demon came out of the walls once again.
The demon stalked torwards Dawn about to strike but the sword flew out of it's hands. The demon turned around and face Tara. The demon raise it's claw and knocked her to the wall. The demon went back to Dawn who was huddling in a corner scared to death. The demon was about to strike when a sword went through it's body. A blue mist surrounded the demon before it disappeared revealing a limping Kira holding a sword.
Kira fell but Dawn caught her. "Wish demon Halfrek is the only one to lift the curse." Kira muttered before passing out once again. Dawn dragged Kira back on the couch and went to Tara trying to wake her up. That was when Spike walked in. "Bloody hell what happened to Red's bird?" Spike said. Buffy came in hearing Spike's comment and looked around the room. "Where's the demon?" she asked. Dawn pointed at the sword and went back to a groggy Tara.
Buffy took the sword and broke it to many pieces before helping Tara stand up. Willow, Anya, and Xander walked in and Willow ran to Tara's aid. "What happened?" Xander asked. "Demon." Dawn and Tara replied. "We are still stuck here though." Anya whined. Dawn looked at the ground and Buffy saw this. "Dawn what did you do?" Buffy asked walking closer to Dawn. "I think it's my fault." Dawn mumbled. "How?" Tara asked looking at Dawn.
"I kinda made a wish to my guidance counscilar that you wouldn't ever leave." Dawn said sheepishly. Anya groaned and yelled "Halfrek!!!Hallie get your butt down here!!" Smoke filled one area and a women with a gruesome face appeared. "Oh hello Anyanka." Halfrek said casually. "Hallie I can't believe you put a hex on me." Anya complained. "I told you I was in town for business." Hallie said and pointed at Dawn.
"Wait I thought you wreaked vengence one men who scorned women." Tara said. "Oh no that was Anya's thing and it's justice demons." Hallie said. "I still can't believe you put a curse on me." Anya whined. "It's what you deserve I heard her cries of pain everywhere I went in this town." Hallie shot back. Hallie waved her hand to dissappear but nothing happened. She tried again but still nothing. "It's the curse." Anya stated.
"Fine the curse is lifted.....damn." Hallie said and disappeared. Everybody left quickly but Spike and Tara who were lifting Kira's body. Buffy closed the door and Dawn winced thinking she earned herself a month of grounding. Buffy only put her arm around Dawn and dragged her to the living room and turned on the T.V. Dawn was surprise but happy at this.

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"
