WARNING: DEALS WITH SELF HARM, ABUSE AND KENNEDY WOUNDING...
+++++
Buffy stared out the window of one of the council's private planes into the clouds. She had left Italy in total darkness how many hoours ago? She had lost track of time. A tray of the finest food ever to be found on an airplane rested in the seat next to her, untouched. Chicken alfredo with fresh vegtables and garlic bread, now cold...the richest cheesecake known to man, now warm. The slayer had no appettite. Between her dream and Giles' call, she was positive that something was wrong with her Willow.
Her Willow?
Ok, her sister had obviously infected her.
Dawn was seriously in need of therapy. Yes, Buffy did love Willow...in the best friend ever way. The were like sisters...they were the closest two friends could be. Look at everything they had been through...the Master, the mayor, Angelus, Spike, a hellgod, hiennas, hellhounds...Adam, Walsh, no voices, nightmares coming to life...singing, dancing, Double Meat, double Xander, double Willow...a parade of monsters and demons from every walk of unlife.
Plus years of Cordelia and Anya.
Double Willow.
Not to mention all the heart break...Angel, Parker, Oz, Riley, Tara...
Double Willow.
"Ok, Buffy, snap out of it! Willow has Kennedy and you are straight...Angel, Riley, Spike...all men...men who you are no longer with...because, of good reasons, yes, very good...cursed soul, hello...and, self esteem issues of manhood...and well, wrong reasons, quick fix...see, all very good and respectable reasons...double Willow...*SMILES*...NO! No, bad Buffy!"
She ran her hands through her hair.
"Ok, this so has to stop...it's insane...even if...and that is SO THE BIG IF, I maybe felt something extra for her, Willow loves Kennedy...annoying, little, pipsqueak Kennedy...how do you go from beautiful, kind, sweet Tara to Kennedy? Oh Will, I so wish you could explain that one to me."
She held her hands out in front of her.
"Tara...Kennedy...sweet...annoying...friend...moron...big blue eyes...squinty little beady brown ones...long blonde hair, ratty, stringy, dark, non-shiny, split ended...shapely and curvy...built like a 12 year old boy...smells like strawberries...smells like-"
"Ms Summers, we should be there in 2 hours."
Buffy looked at the intercom, the green light on.
"Ok, thanks."
"You are most welcome. Is there anything that you need?"
"No, I'm good, thank you."
The light on the intercom went off and she sighed deeply. Her head was a mess and it was all Dawn's fault. She and Willow had been best friends for over seven years...if there was anything more between them, it would've showed way before now. At least she would have had some sign. Ok, yes, there were the few naughty dreams, but that so wasn't her fault! The whole gang probably had them after meeting vamp Willow. Giles couldn't even look at Will for days after.
"I so bet his was a mistress of pain one...he looks like he'd enjoy being spanked by a leather clad redhead...oh gawd...oh...see, so many not needing to see visuals in my head right now..." She closed her eyes, hands on her head...then smiled. "Willow and spanking, either way that one goes, it's a good thing."
Her eyes flew open, her hands now gripping the sides of her seat.
"Bad, bad Buffy...ok, calm, I am human, Willow is very attractive and sweet and we live in a very dangerous world and life, death, always in our faces, the mind has crazy thoughts...like, when Oz left...it killed me seeing Will like that, even tho' I knew she was better off without him...and Tara...ok, so maybe I didn't really like her at first...I didn't know her...she could've been a demon, or an evil witch, out to steal Will's powers. An evil witch who liked to be kissy all over my Willow..."
The left arm snapped off the seat and fell to the floor.
"Oh gawd...oh gawd...I'm in love with Willow."
+++++
Willow watched out the bedroom window as the slayers played vollyball on the beach. Despite the pain she was in from yesterday, she couldn't help but smile as Colleen dove for the ball and recieved a mouth full of sand for her effort. Her smile faded fast, however, when she heard the bedroom door close.
"No."
Kennedy locked the door and began undressing.
"Willow."
"Not now, please." Willow turned to face her. "It hurts too much...you made your point all last night, I belong to you, I know that...there's no need for this."
Kennedy was by her in a heartbeat, eyes burning. "You don't tell me no, Will...you know that." Her hand reached around and squeezed Willow's black and blue ass, prompting the witch to cry out. "When I want you on your knees, you damn well better drop."
"I could end this, all of this, with one word," Willow softly, calmly said, her eyes locked into Kennedy's. "And you know it."
The dark haired slayer grinned. "I know...but you won't...and that, makes it all the sweeter...knowing that you have the power to stop it, but don't because you know you deserve it..." She grabbed a handful of red hair and pulled Willow's ear to her lips. "That makes me cum all the harder."
Willow's eyes closed.
"You have been deserving this for a long time...since you first fucked poor Tara and pretended it was Buffy."
"Shut up."
"All that time, she loved you...you were all about Buffy...poor Tara was making love to you and you were fucking that little bottle blonde bitch. Oh yeah, Will, you know you deserve this."
Willow whimpered. "That's not true."
"And you wonder why Buffy could never love you? She knew...she was the slayer, Will...she could smell it...see it in your eyes, why the hell do you think that she distanced herself from you all that time? Because you pulled her from heaven? *laughs* Please, you thought you were saving her. That had nothing to do with it." She pulled Willow's hair. "It was because she was disgusted with you...the way you were using poor Tara...it made her sick."
Kennedy released her hold on Willow and shoved her over the bed. The witch was already naked, not having left the room all day, far too sore to put clothes on.
"You really do enjoying having this ass beat, don't you, ya pain slut."
+++++
Colleen started to serve the ball, stopping as a car pulled into the drive.
"Hey, look whose here!" she quipped, waving.
The other girls turned and looked and waved, calling out hellos as the elder slayer waved back.
"Back door is open," Nancy said, they're inside, Willow isn't feeling well."
+++++
"Bet you're soaking the sheets, babe," Kennedy purred, reiging down another hard blow with her belt. "That because I'm beating your ass...or are you thinking about that bitch?"
Willow gripped the headboard, crying so hard she couldn't think straight. Had she used Tara? Oh goddess, she hadn't meant to! Never! She loved Tara...she did!
"Doesn't matter, Buffy doesn't even call you anymore." CRACK* "She doesn't even think of you as her best friend anymore." CRACK* "Face it, Will, the Scoobies are over. " CRACKCRACKCRACK*
"Hey, the girls said...what the hell?"
Kennedy stopped, the belt in mid air, when she heard the familiar voice.
"What are you doing here?" she gulped.
Willow turned her head and opened her eyes.
One look at the teary redhead was all it took. Kennedy went from standing at the foot of the bed to being a part of the wall. Strong hands around her throat, she looked fearfully into eyes that clearly said they wanted her ass in pieces.
"Tell me why I shouldn't be tearing your fucking arms off right now?" Faith growled.
