Time Spin

Buffy sat in the large library as Giles told them about new information that had come to light, although she couldn’t seem to focus on anything he or Willow said. Unwillingly she had to stop herself from looking over at Lonnie more than once throughout the meeting.



Looking down she pretended to read the book in front of her, when she felt Dawn slip a comforting hand on her shoulder she looked over and smiled at her sister. She thought back to this morning when she had walked into Dawns house and tearfully told her what had happened.



Honestly Buffy hoped that her sister was right, Dawn believed that Lonnie just needed time and once they got Jaeger back things would go back to how they were. She wasn’t so sure however, if Lonnie was sorry they had come here in the first place…how that was going to change when Jaeger came back. Buffy refused to even consider the possibility of Jaeger not returning to them.



Everyone stopped what hey were doing when the library doors opened and Sasha walked in, Buffy was struck by how the woman seemed to dominate whatever room she was in, her clothes were of the highest quality and today she was dressed in black slacks,boots,blue silk shirt and a stylish black blazer. Involuntarily Buffy felt her gaze shift to Sasha’s ass, trying to spot the tail, yep there it was. How did she miss it before?



Sighing she looked back to her mate and was surprised to find that the redhead was watching her closely. Buffy bristled when she saw the anger in Lonnie’s eyes. Obviously the woman didn’t believe her when she said she hadn’t slept with Sasha…



Turning in her chair so that Lonnie wouldn’t be able to see her face she looked up and focused as Sasha exchanged pleasantries with Giles, ‘when did they get friendly?’ she thought a moment before Sasha stood up and opened a file she had brought with her.



“I had some contacts retrieve any files on the skin walker called Courtier from Initiative headquarters. They found very little on Tyrell Courtier, but some interesting documents on a Rhianna Marie Courtier aka Ryan Courtier” Sasha paused and stared down the table at the younger hybrid who seemed to be attempting to sink into her chair.



Skye looked over at Ryan surprise written on her face “Your names Rhianna?”



“Yeah.” Ryan mumbled, only smiling when Skye took her hand and smiled at her reassuringly.



“I like it.” Skye said softly, Buffy smiled at the scene, the two young women were obviously in love with each other, sliding a look over to Lonnie she recalled feeling the same way for the woman when they had first met…ok not when they FIRST met but when they began a relationship. Sighing she looked back to Sasha when the demon began speaking again.

“The reason I bring this up, is that according to her file she was injected with the Pandora Virus. It’s a virus specially designed by the Initiative, it’s targeted for demons or anything not human and can adapt itself to the subjects DNA. It cannot be spread unless someone of the same DNA comes in contact with the subject that is infected.”



Buffy stared at Sasha in amazement…turning back she saw that Ryan had suddenly seemed to freeze, the girl didn’t move at all. Although she could tell Ryan would rather be anywhere else right now but…what was Sasha saying?



“What are you saying exactly?” Raya asked curiously, looking between her daughter in law and the blue demon.



“I’m saying. We found our Protector. The prophecy says that that he so rises is blocked by death, only to die from his own blood…Ryan’s blood is connected to his genetically. Her blood is the weapon.” Sasha said simply, looking down at the young girl she felt nervous for the skin walker.



She was shocked when after nearly a minute the room broke into an uproar on what should be done about Ryan and her blood. Feeling unfamiliar feelings of compassion for the tiger she said nothing when Ryan and Skye stood and left the library seemingly without anyone else noticing.



****************************



Skye followed Ryan through the courtyard, past the camp that held the semi active demons; it was almost funny how inactive the demons were during the day. Perhaps that’s why they fell under the ‘creatures of the night’ category?



Ryan hadn’t said a word to her since they left the library, walking into the house she smiled at Remy who was watching them concerned. Bending down Skye picked up Brigitte and held her struggling sister until she made it up the stairs, hissing sharply when Brigitte bit her in the arm.



“No Brie, you don’t bite.” Skye said sternly, looking down she saw several small multi colored spots on her flowered dress. “Did you get into David’s paints girly?” Skye asked quietly, she got her answer when the toddler looked away guiltily.



Sighing she put Brigitte down in her bedroom, pulling out a pair of pajamas for her sister she wrestled the unwilling child into them ‘wonder what’s up with her, usually Brigitte seemed to live for pleased people’



Laying her sister down in her bed she gave the little girl the required ‘nap’ toys and left the room. Softly closing the door she smiled to herself. She wanted children with Ryan but she didn’t want to press the issue, especially after that stellar reaction she had gotten not ten seconds after the first time they had sex.



Opening the door she quality stepped in and closed it. Turning she saw that Ryan was changed into her tiger form and laying diagonal on the bed. Smiling at the large cat she walked up and sat beside her, gently stroking Ryan’s ears she smiled when Ryan began to purr.



“I take it you don’t want to talk right now?” Skye said with a smile. Ryan didn’t move a muscle, simply letting her dual colored eyes meet Skye’s own blue ones.” That’s oaky, I feel like a nap anyway.” Skye said as she pulled off her coat and stripped down to her underwear, climbing onto to the bed she curled up beside the large cat and quickly fell asleep.



*************************



Buffy was walking out of the school, turning she saw several students giggling and smiling at her. Frowning slightly she didn’t know what to make of the looks. Turning she saw Sasha walking out of the building with Willow, both were deep in conversation and Buffy smiled when she saw Vikki and Dawn following closely both carrying mountain of books.



Still smiling Buffy walked around her friend and the demon master and took some of ht books from Dawn “Since when are Will and Sasha friends?” She asked quietly, all three of them were watching the redhead with open interest.



“I don’t know Buffy; it was something about Sasha’s mom. Willow wanted to know ‘what’ Sasha asked and somewhere in the nerdy talk I got lost but now…there buddy buddy.” Dawn said, Buffy looked up at Vikki who was smiling at the sight if the slender redhead talking to Sasha.



“She’s kind of hot” Vikki said, eyes widening comically she held a hand up to her mouth “Don’t tell Will I said that.” The Summer sister watched the younger woman walk away towards the house she shared with Willow.



Turning back Buffy studied Sasha more closely, she WAS attractive…in a strange demony im gonna kill you type of way. Shaking off that thought she turned to look for Lonnie. “Hey Dawnie, have you seen Lonnie””



“Nope, Buffy…what’s the point of having a break if you’re not going to take it?” Dawn asked, Buffy shot her a look and decided glowering was the best thing to do.



“What does that mean exactly?” Buffy asked sharply, of course this did nothing to put off her sister.



“I mean date a little. Don’t get me wring. I love Lonnie. I really do, but you guys are on a break and well…it’s a break. I’m just saying…keep your options open.” Dawn shot a meaningful look towards the blue demon before she turned and headed home.



Buffy stood there like an idiot…wasn’t that cheating? And just because they were on a break didn’t mean she wanted to go and jump into bed with someone…much less a demon with a tail and tiny horns to boot. Did she?



Looking back she watched the taller blue woman laugh and talk almost…happily? I thought demons could only be ‘happy’ when they were killing something?



Sighing miserably she decided to go bug Giles for awhile. After all…she hadn’t seen him clean his glasses today…may as well go make sure that quota gets filled.
