They'd been sitting in the same spots for over 2 hours before Kids broke the silence.
"Damn, I've been sitting here to long, my ass is like terminally ouched"
"Want me to kiss it and make it better?" Faith offered with a leer.
"You wanna kiss my ass?" Kida laughed "Maybe you should stick to kissing Dawn"
"What? You kissed Dawn" Buffy rose to her feet and stood over Faith menacingly "Dawn go upstairs"
"Buffy" Dawn squealed.
"Now" Buffy growled.
"Kida slept with her, but you send me away for a kiss?" Dawn screamed.
"Kida isn't my little sister" Buffy pointed out.
"I'm not either" Dawn growled "I'm the freaking KEY!"
Everything was silent after that.
"The Key to what?'' Faith asked.
They all stared at her as if she lost her mind.
"They gave me that look when I asked what kind of demon Tara was" Anya related from the stairs.
"I thought I told you to keep her upstairs" Willow came out of the kitchen still holding the knife.
"Are you gonna kill me?" Anya asked backing up.
Rowen looked at Faith from behind Anya's legs.
Faith waved at the little girl.
"Don't acknowledge her she's a stranger" Willow said softly. She mystically send the knife back into the kitchen and opened her arms
for the little girl.
"She wanted you" Anya used the excuse pointing to Rowen when the little girl threw herself into Willow's arms.
"You let a 5 year old tell you what to do?" Willow smirked at the ex-demon.
"She's 527 on the Mystical plane. She's been waiting to be free for centuries" Kida rubbed her sore backside.
"That's less than half your age Anya" Buffy pointed out.
"She's stong" Anya pouted "Where's Xander"
"Willow scared her, I mean him away" Faith joked innocently.
She recieved two blatant looks of hatred from Buffy and Willow, and two amused glances from Kida and Anya.
"Spiders or clowns?" Anya asked.
"Does it matter?" Buffy asked,
"Yeah" Anya shrugged "he hides from spiders in the bathtub and from clowns in the closet"
"He's in the bath tub" Faith told her.
"Thank you" Anya turned to go back upstairs. She stopped on the first step and turned back to Faith "You can't have him back. He gives me orgasms now"
Anya disappeared up the stairs.
Faith cocked her hip "She's-"
"Weird. We know" Willow cut in.
"You should make friends with her" Buffy patted Faith on the shoulder. If Anya liked her Buffy would let her off a bit easy. But she'd
pay for the kissing Dawn thing later.
"Yeah" Kida agreed with Buffy "You should get her a bunny"

"Okay so your telling me your little sister is the key to hell" Faith looked unbelieving.
"Yep. She opens the burning gates of purgatory alright" Buffy 'schooched' oh her chair. It was almost dark. She hoped this girl Dario
spoke of would show up soon. That and her butt was almost as numba s Kida's.
Everyone had long since gone on to other things.
Xander and Anya were gone, Willow was upstairs playing with Rowen, Buffy and Kida were dowstairs with Faith.
"Ok but when did Willow have a kid?" Faith rubbed her temple. She was builing one hell of a migraine.
"She didn't. Rowen was a gift" Buffy smiled. All the love she had for Willow showed on her face.
"She looks just like Willow" Faith pointed out.
"You noticed that to?" Buffy said sarcastically.
"She's like a short mirror image" Faith equaled Buffy's sarcasm.
"Well I see everyone's all buddy, buddy now" Dario's voice preceded her into the room.
Faith looked around but couldn't fine who the angry voice was coming from.
Dario walked through the wall behind the dark slayer, just to unsettle her "Do you still want the soul decerning?" she asked Buffy.
"Yeah I do. This is so not the time to have a loose canon" Buffy stood all business.
Dario turned and spoke directly to the wall. Her lips formed the words, but only the humming was heard.
Faith looked to Buffy in astonishment, but the other slayer had the same look on her face. Faith turned to Kida but she only looked
hurt.
Dario had yet to acknowledge her presence.
Moments later the humming ended, and another girl stepped through the wall. She clothes similar to Buffy's, jeans and a tank top.
It wasn't like California got that cold anytime of year.
"This is Spiri. Spiri this is Buffy, she's a slayer, and Faith she's a........well I don't know what she is but she's here" Dario cast a rather
nasty look at the dark slayer.
"Kida" Spiri nodded.
"Spiri" Kida acknowledged.
"What do you think of this 'dark' child?" Spiri asked outright. Both of them possessed powers that were strong in that area.
"I'm biased. I can't trust my judgement" Kida admited "Faith is an old friend"
"An old lover you mean" Dario said spitefully.
"Oh" Spiri eyed them both. She wondered why Dario had ignored her lover. Now she knew. She moved closer to Faith having walked
past her when she came through the wall "If you'd permit to touch you-" she left the rest of the sentence blank. She had a feeling this one didn't like to be touched.
"Will it hurt?" Faith frowned. She didn't know if this was good or bad.
"Do you want it to?" Spiri frowned, this girl just might prove a problem.
"No. But go ahead" Faith cockily spread her arms and took a deep breath "Grab me"
Kida huffed and left the room.
Dario rolled her eyes and supressed the urge to knock the shit out of Faith.
Spiri touched her. And screamed.
