The Harris Family Reunion

The Harris Family Reunion





Xander pushed open the door to the Alibi Room; he looked around seeing the normal demons that littered the Hellmouth.

'The things I do for family,' Xander thought as he walked in, ' I'll be lucky if I'm not eaten.'

But it was the demon in the back that he was looking for, he had learned that his cousin Ushio who just happen to be the Master of the Beast Spear. He had become so when he let the demon that had been trapped in his family's temple basement out by accident.

Xander sighed at the sight of the drunken demon. Tiger looking it was almost six foot tall, orange and black striped fur, a darker orange color was the mane that fell from the top of the demons head to his waist, big completely white eyes that terrifying because the looked so endless, a demon the others in the bar were watching closely.

"Tora."

The demon turned at the sound of his name, the bright, hopefully smile died as suddenly as it appeared.

"Oh, it's you." the demon said as Xander sat next to it.

"That's a nice greeting to someone who sneaks you hamburgers." Said Xander knowing the demons weakness for them. The demon grunted then returned to his drink and muttered about stupid brats.


"You know if you want talk..." Xander's voice froze in his throat at the glare the demon gave him.

"...Or not."

Tora suddenly looked at Xander, eyes blurry, and said, " I wish the Spear Bearer and I were still in Japan. I don't understand why we are here. We saw all of the family last season."

"Families have strange rituals, keeping in touch is a common one."

Tora snorted, " At least in Japan I had other demons to kill."

"Is that, why you're pouting?" asked Xander.

"POUTING!" roared the tiger demon.

Xander nodded, " Ushio said..."

"THAT BRAT!"

"Hey!" shouted one of the vampire's sitting near by, " Some of us are trying to enjoy our drinks."

Tora turned and roared in outrage that this low breed dared to speak to Lord Nagatomibaru in such a manner. He who had lived for centuries, true he had been imprison for a lot of them but that was beside the point...the point was this vampire was going to meet Tora's bad temper. Tora leaped forward a clawed hand sunk deep into the vampire chest, you could hear the skin tear, the bones snap, and the wet spunk sound as Tora tore out the vampire's heart.

As it dusted Xander asked the demon lord, " Feel better now?"

Tora frowned, " Strangely enough, yes."

Therapy by violence was for some the best kind.

"Good, we need to get you back to the hotel." Xander said standing up, Tora followed.

"Why?" he asked.

"Cause when I left, Ushio was crawling up the walls...literally! I mean his hair grew long and his eyes turned a freaky violet color. He even had fangs and was growling at people!"

Tora closed his eyes and groaned, " Ah, well..."

Xander held up a hand stopping Tora, " Look whatever your relationship is...I don't care. Just fix it."


*******


As Xander and Tora left, a sigh of relief went through the bar. Willy decided then and there that when anyone who knew White Knight's came to town, to be very far away.

"Did you hear?" a demon with yellow horns asked Willy.

Willy shook his head, " Hear what?"

"There's some sort of reunion thing being held at the SunnyDale Hilton."

Willy got a sick feeling in his stomach, " Who's?" he asked.

"The White Knight's."

Willy paled and thought that maybe, just maybe he should close the bar and take a vacation. He had heard that Cleveland was nice this time of year.
