Chapter 6: Cryptic Much?

Dawn nods as they begin to track the prints up the slope. About half way up it stops. The women pause as well scrutinizing the area. Kennedy mutters under her breath. "Damn, how can they just disappear?"

"Nothing like that in the research. It said that they have no magical abilities." Dawn looks up at the Slayer, but Kennedy is trying to find a clue-off the path slightly. "Just all with the breeding and leaving."

Kennedy doesn't respond, she just continues to move away from the Watcher, hoping to find something, anything to help locate the creatures so that she can kill them. "Damn." She mutters again and starts back to her friend. "Makes no sense," she reaches Dawn. "Let's keep going."

The younger woman nods and they move up the path toward a cluster of trees. As they search them they find an entrance to a cave. "This has gotta be the place."

Dawn looks around, "Does it feel like a trap to you? Cause to me? It feels kinda trappy, with the only one way out thing."

The Slayer nods, "Good instincts D, let's scout around the back side and see what we see."

In stealth mode they slip around the side and toward the back of the cave, but can find no way in. Dawn rolls her eyes, "You'd think they could be a little more original! I mean, I learned about these tricks from bad late night movies."

Kennedy quips, "Maybe they don't get cable." The Watcher rolls her eyes. "I'm gonna look around up top."

She watches the Slayer moves off into the dark and a sudden chill brings her attention to the fact that she is now alone. "Okay, that was creepy." She starts to follow Kennedy.

The smaller brunette looks back to see the taller on her trail. "What's the matter, getting scared?" She asks with a knowing grin.

"No no-" she denies. "Just not in the mood to watch you go running off."

"But Watcher, isn't that your title?" Another playful grin.

"Just shut up and find something to slay, Slayer." She grins too.

With a chuckle Kennedy gives her a hand onto a large rock and they make their way up to the top.

Finally reaching their destination, the Slayer smiles as she looks down into the cave below. "Seems to be another way in and out." She looks at her Watcher.

Dawn frowns, "Only if you can fly. Once you're down there, no way you're getting back up this." She shakes her head.

Kennedy kneels to get a closer look, she can barely make out a faint light coming from something below. "Look something's down there so... that means I'm going in. Meet you at the bottom."

"Kennedy you can't-" she stops as the Slayer disappears through the opening. With a frustrated growl the Watcher starts back down the trail. "Damn stubborn Slayer." She mutters as she tromps.

* * *

The Slayer lands as softly as possible and scans her surroundings quickly to find it safe at least for the time being. She stands and begins to make her way toward the front of the cave. She stops as the light gets some what brighter as the enclosed area gets wider, branching out into a room much bigger than one would expect.

From her place along the wall, as she creeps forward, she can now see a fire burning in the center of the dirt floor not 200 yards in front of her. Her Slayer senses start to tingle and she slips her crossbow from her back to her hand. Her Slayer ears pick up a noise, an exasperated sigh and then she sees him, "A person could grow old waitin' on you," says the man as he rearranges his hat.

Kennedy glares, "And just who the hell are you?" She questions as she trains the crossbow on his chest.

"Damn, why are Slayer's always so touchy?" He looks at the girl. "You can call me Whistler."

"What are you?" She questions. His knowledge of Slayers and the fact that he seems to have known at least one other sets her senses off. "Demon?"

"In the strictest sense, I guess. Doesn't make me bad."

"Yeah, well, damn sure doesn't make you good." She moves closer and he backs away until finally his back is to the wall. "Start talking."

"Watch the suit," he states as she presses the bolt to his chest. She doesn't budge. "Fine, but you're not gonna like what I gotta say."

"Start with who sent you?"

Whistler shakes his head, "Don't ever get any smarter." He mutters to himself. "The Powers. I'm suppose to give you a vague warning all full of riddles and cryptic messages."

"Can we skip that and you just cut to the chase?" Whistler raises an eyebrow to her questions. "Didn't think so. At least tell me that when I figure the shit out, I'll know how to find the demons?"

"Can't say."

"Right, more ambiguity. Okay so tell me what it is I'm suppose to know."

Whistler shakes his head, "Patience is..." she grabs him by his jacket lapels, picks him up from the ground and holds him none to gently against the wall. He grunts out, "Is definitely not a gift you possess." She lets him go him and he speaks. "All I can tell you is this. Things change, people change and not always for the better."

"And that has what to do with demon baby makers?" She looks at the man confused.

"Not sure it does. But you know the old saying, you can't go home?" Kennedy glares. He continues, "Well there's usually a reason. Keep your eyes open kid, things aren't always what they seem."

A growl from the Slayer, "What do you mean?"

"Can't say but watch yourself kid." He makes his way toward the back of the cave, and vanishes unceremoniously.

Kennedy looks on unsure, confused by his words. She starts toward the front of the cave, but stops when she sees tattered clothes. "Maybe this is the place after all." She picks them up and then sees traces of blood on the ground near them. "This isn't good." She moves forward and then cringes when she sees the remains of a body. The smell causes her to nearly throw up, she covers her nose and mouth, making her way past the remains.

Once outside in the open she takes in big gulps of fresh air hoping it will settle her swirling stomach. "Shit!"

Dawn is standing a few feet from her, "What happened?"

"I'm too late, the smell, the body was shredded." She shakes the thoughts away.

"We should call the police." Dawn states.

"You do that, I'm gonna keep looking for them."

"You don't think they'll come back here?" Dawn asks as she dials the police and asks for Evan.

"Not now. This place will be covered with cops for days." She listens as her Watcher talks on the phone wondering if she should tell Dawn about the demon and his words. She decides against it and as the sirens approach a few minutes later she looks at the younger woman. "Better head out unless you just wanna explain to them why we're here."

"No, leaving is good. I'll call Evan later to get the details." They start back down the path trying to stay out of sight.

* * *

A few days later Kennedy, Tara, and Dawn sit in the Slayer's place talking. "Evan says they still don't have an I.D. on the body." Dawn's words don't surprise anyone.

"Could be a few more days if they sent dental work or DNA for matches." Tara adds.

"In the mean time they just take more girls." Kennedy is in a testy mood to say the least. Her frustration growing as time passes and she is unable to locate a new hiding ground. She slams her half empty beer bottle on the table as she stands. As she starts for her jacket the doorbell rings. She jerks it open.

Willow takes in her girlfriend's upset eyes and reaches out touching her face. "Hey."

Kennedy's smile tries to grow on her face, "I thought-" she stops as she feels lips on hers and her eyes close.

Willow pulls back, "Surprise, they took pity on me a gave me 12 hours off."

Kennedy wraps her in a hug, "I missed you." She whispers in the redhead's ear.

"Missed you too," she says. "Thought we could have dinner, then maybe breakfast."

Kennedy smiles, "Could be arranged."

Tara smiles from the other room as she pulls Dawn to her feet, "We'll just be leaving."

Willow blushes just realizing she is not alone with her girl. "Sorry didn't know you had plans-" she looks from them to Kennedy.

"Plans? No, no plans right?" She looks pleadingly at Dawn.

"Like Tara said, we were just going." She smiles.

The doctor shakes her head, "I don't believe any of you."

Tara drags Dawn out the door, "Later guys."

Willow looks at her Slayer as the door closes, "Sorry."

Kennedy shakes her head, "Don't be. I see'em all the time." She winks. "You on the other hand, I don't see nearly enough of." They kiss again.

As the redhead breaks the kiss and plants a feather light one on her girl's cheek and then neck, she whispers. "Maybe we can take care of that."

Kennedy bites her bottom lip unsure. She hopes she knows what the woman means, but she doesn't want to push too hard. "Less hours at work?"

Willow shakes her head as she takes off her coat and lets it fall to the floor. Seconds later her blouse is there as well. "Less clothes." She winks, continuing to disrobe. Within seconds she stands in the living room in only her panties and bra.

Kennedy's eyes roam the redhead's body. "Think we should, ah-" she finally manages to look into dark green eyes. "Bedroom?"

Willow simply puts her hand on Kennedy's chest and pushes her gently that direction as she slips the jacket off the Slayer and then pulls her t-shirt from her jeans.

As Kennedy's back hits the wall, Willow's lips meet hers in a searing kiss. Her hands slip under the shirt and her nails play against heating skin. The brunette moans, her fingers tangling in soft red hair as their lips move together. Soon tongues are battling, teasing before they finally pull away to feed their starving lungs.

The doctor smiles, lips kiss swollen, her chest heaving as their eyes meet. Dark green looking down into even deeper brown pools and her pounding heart skips a beat as she sees the love there. Her suddenly nervous hands stop, resting against Kennedy's back.

Kennedy smiles too, her forehead moves to meet Will's and both release a shivering breath. She lets her fingers caress against her girl's scalp, then make their way down to her neck and shoulders before her arms lock around her waist holding together. She watches the redhead's breathing speed at her touch then pulls back to kiss along her throat. Moans fill the room as the tasting continues, Kennedy's lips on Willow's fiery skin.

A few minutes later it is the doctor who is pressed to the wall, her eyes closed, her body wanting more as the Slayer nips and teases her flesh finally pulling it between her lips and applying gentle suction.

Her body shakes, her mind reels as her hands grab onto her girlfriend wanting her closer. Without conscious thought her legs move up to wrap around Kennedy's waist.

The added weight causes the Slayer's lip to stop and her eyes to look at the woman in front of her. Both struggle to slow their breathing, both are flushed and panting, however it doesn't stop their lips from joining again.

The kissing heats up almost instantly, moans grow louder as Kennedy's hands slide to cover Willow's ass and her stomach presses against the redhead's hot center.

Willow groans, her breath tickling her girlfriend's ear, "Please." She manages around her raging breathing.

Kennedy carries her toward the bedroom, once inside she stops at the foot of the bed. Willow slides down the Slayer's body to stand on her own two feet, much to the regret of her soon to be lover.

Face to face their eyes meet and Kennedy sees the nervous smile of her redhead. Before she can speak however, to tell her they don't have to if she's not ready, the doctor's hands are on the brunette's tee shirt and the article is off and on the floor across the room. 'K,' the Slayer thinks, 'Not being ready not an issue.' She lets her hands start to work on her girl's buttons and soon, with a playfully toss the blouse joins her shirt.

Next comes jeans, then dress pants and then socks as the pile grows. Soon the women stand only inches apart in just their underwear. It is Willow who makes the first attempt at speaking, "I, ah-" she stops squeezes her eyes shut but then opens them more relaxed as she goes on. "I... I love you."

Kennedy smiles and kisses her softly, "That's good, really good cause I love you too." Her words are soft and tentative.

Willow raises a brow as a thought crosses her mind. 'Wonder if... nah, she's said them before.' She shakes the thought away.

Kennedy smiles and the redhead just has to ask, curiosity getting the better of her. "What?"

Kennedy blushes confusing the doctor even more, "Saying it, telling you how I feel."

"You've never-" and as her girl shakes her head the words stop. Willow leans in and kisses her deeply, passionately.

As they break apart Kennedy speaks, "I love you." She smiles as she repeats her heart.

Willow looks into her amazed chocolate eyes, but can't find anything to express her feelings so she lets her hands do the talking. She reaches around and unfastens Kennedy's bra with just a flick of her wrist, then grins when her Slayer's brow raises in question. She slips the straps down and then off, tossing it across the room to join the rest. Her eyes lock on her girl's breasts, her mind racing, her body tingling as she slowly lets a hand reach forward and her fingers begin to explore.

Kennedy moans at her actions, her body heating up as Willow teases, touches and a growling groans sounds as her tongue strokes against the hardened peek. "Willow-" she pants and then moans as her girl's lips take it in and begin to suckle. She holds her head in place, her body building fast. "Will, please."

The redhead pulls away and Kennedy whines at the loss. Willow just smiles and backs her toward the bed and soon she is leaning over the prone Slayer. Her hands tease and trace over smooth heated skin. She hears panted breathing as it gets more needy, she kisses from Kennedy's throat down between her breasts, then moves to one side then the other licking, sucking and then nipping gently. She can feel Kennedy's body tense and she kisses her stomach speaking softly, "I love you so much." She continues her journey south.

Her lips kiss, her tongue darts out to occasionally taste salty skin. She presses her lips to Kennedy's belly button, her tongue dipping in and out, as her girl writhes below her chanting her name, hands tangled in her red hair. "Shit... Willow, gawd I-" she can't think to continue her pleading.

Smiling against her skin her lips kiss the top of her girl's panties as she smells her need. Without teasing her she pulls the last article of clothing away, the Slayer growls as the cool air caresses her hot flesh. She kisses her just above her needy center as Kennedy's hips raises to find friction with no luck. "Soon baby," she assures her girl.

The redhead hesitates briefly, less than a few seconds, as her thoughts appear to slip to another place and time-but she shakes the worried memory away, her mind back on her girl. She presses another kiss to her lover's needy center, then begins to explore.

The Slayer's moans fill the room, as the doctor examines her thoroughly. Willow's fingers separate her girl's swollen lips and her tongue snakes out to taste and tease. "God, don't stop," she begs. "Don't."

The redhead looks up from her work, a smile on her face, though her cheeks turn a little pink. "Not the plan baby." She lowers her mouth again, and immediately she strokes over her clit. She repeats the action again and again until she has Kennedy panting and crying out continually. Her body writhing with need and so close to falling.

"Please, please, Will-" implores the Slayer.

The redhead's lips curl around the throbbing bud and she sucks steadily, as she slips two fingers inside her girl. This act alone sends Kennedy crying out as she climaxes but Willow continues the movement of her fingers in and out, picking up speed as she feels Kennedy's body building once more.

"God! Oh shit, Will, I-" Kennedy mutters as she feels her release approaching again. "I-"her whole body begins to shake, she can see lights start to twinkle before her as she squeezes her eyes tightly shut. "What-" she tries to speak but has lost the ability as her lover curls her fingers and finds the spot inside no one has found before. As she continues to rub her fingers there, the Slayer tenses, her body ridged before the explosion hits. "Will-low!" She screams, then her world goes dark.

* * *

The redhead smiles in wonder at her beauty before, Kennedy still unconscious from her orgasm. Willow now lays with her head on her girl's chest, stroking her body gently, calling her back to the here and now, as she listens to the pounding of her heart start to return to normal. "I love you." She says softly as she kisses the skin beneath her lips.

Kennedy's eyes flutter, then finally open. "Wh... wow," She manages as she licks her dry lips.

Willow looks up into her eyes, "Hey, you okay?" A little worried smile finds her face.

"Okay? Ah... Wow, I way better than okay." She smiles back.

Willow reaches behind her and gets the bottle of water from the stand, "Thought you could use this." She hands it to her girl.

"Thanks," Kennedy says as she opens it taking a long drink. After closing it back , she looks into green eyes and leans forward kissing her softly. "I said wow right?" The doctor blushes, ducking her head to the Slayer's chest before looking up again when she feels her lover's fingers playing over her skin. "Can't seem to find better words. Mind's a little-" she grins.

"Don't need better words," the redhead assures. They share another soft kiss.

"Why don't I just show you?." Kennedy caresses her back, then kisses her lips, her cheek and then down to her neck.

Willow's eyes close of their own accord as she whispers, "Hmmm, who needs words."

Then the words stop. All that can be heard for the next hour are soft moans, whimpered pleas and Kennedy's name being chanted over and over as she takes the redhead to the brink of release and watches in amazement as she shatters.

They kiss and cuddle as she helps her calm, she has her redhead on top of her running her hands along her back-Willow's breathing and heart beat still racing. Kennedy kisses the top of her head and whispers. "I love you."

Willow looks up into chocolate eyes and kisses her lips passionately, Kennedy raises a brow as they finally pull apart. The redhead slides along her lover's body and Kennedy can't stop the moan. Her body instantly ready, as she feels her girl's lips on her skin. "Love you," Willow breaths as she licks down toward a straining peek.

As much as Kennedy wants to continue, she knows her girl needs sleep. "You should rest, you gotta work in a few hours."

"Don't wanna rest," Willow states and she takes the peek into her mouth sucking to prove her point.

Kennedy groans out and rolls them over pinning her redhead under her. Willow whines and the Slayer can't help but smile when she sees the pout. "Think that's gonna work?"

"Hoping," she says pouting even more.

Kennedy rolls her eyes then mutters to herself, "So whipped."

Willow smiles at her words that are barely audible. "Nothing wrong with that," she grins.

Kennedy starts to protest but stops as she feels the redhead's hand working its way between them. She moans and raises her body slightly to give her girl access. "What?" She looks surprised.

"Trust me?" Willow asks and Kennedy nods sharply as she feels fingers separating her lower lips. "Now, just lower-" she groans out as Kennedy does as she is instructed.

"Wow-" Both smile as it seems to be all she can say when they are making love. As the Slayer rocks slightly she is rocketed with sensations. "Fuck!" She groans as her pace gets faster.

Willow moans out too but her hands on Kennedy's hips slow her girl. "Slow, okay?" She pants out.

Kennedy leans her forehead on Willow's, "Try." She pants out. "Try."

They rock gently together, both building almost unaware. The perspiration growing as their bodies work simultaneously toward the same goal. They talk softly, breath short, as their love making continues. Kennedy feels her body start to tense- "Almost," she whimpers. She tries to hurry the pace.

"Don't-" she keeps the speed constant. "J-just, let it hap-happen." Willow tries to relay as her own release gets near.

Kennedy stays with her girl's rhythm. "It f-feels-"her words stop as does all thought as Willow's legs wrap around hers causing even more contact and she grinds up into her Slayers. She tries to call her name but no words make it out. She holds on as the blast rips through her, sparks flaring around her.

Willow's release has a similar effect on her. She holds tightly to her lover, her body shaking. She looks up worried as she feels wetness hitting her chest. She sees Kennedy's tears. "Baby?" The Slayer buries her head against her shoulder and lets the emotion out. "Shh. I got you." She says as her lips kiss any place she can reach and her hands caress the trembling body above her. "I got you." She repeats.

* * *

The morning light finds Willow curled up against her girl, sleeping soundly. Kennedy however is wide awake. She stares down at the girl in her arms. Her mind recalls the events of the night and she tries to take in everything that happened. As she replays the emotions that she encountered she is a bit confused. She had been with lots of girls-had good sex-even great sex-why had this seemed so different, made her feel so much-her mind stops searching as the words reach her, "Kennedy sweetie- are you okay?"

She meets worried green eyes with a beautiful smile, "Never been better." She says with a soft kiss.

Willow seems unsure but she lets it go. She whines as she sees the clock. "Got to go back to work."

She hugs her tightly, "Why don't you get a nice hot shower and I'll fix you some breakfast?"

"Sounds good but I need clothes."

"You could wear something of mine." Willow giggles and Kennedy frowns. "What?"

"Do you own anything that isn't denim or leather?"

Kennedy pouts as she sees the problem. "No." She smiles, "New plan. You go home, shower and I'll stop and get muffins and mochas and bring them over."

"That works," they share a slow, lingering kiss. She pulls herself from Kennedy's arms and off the bed gathering her clothes. The Slayer watches her naked form.

* * *

Willow slips into her clothes as she hears a knock at the door. She smiles as she walks toward it, however as it opens and she sees it isn't Kennedy she looks unsure.

The man speaks with a smile, "Willow. I can't believe I finally found you at home."

"Xan-Xander! What are you doing here?" The redhead is nervously looking at the man and the hallway past him.

"I had to see for myself that you were okay." He sees her worry. "It's okay, nobody followed me."

"Come in," she says as she pulls the door closed. She hugs him as she composes herself. "It's good to see you."

He smiles but frowns as she pulls away as there is another knock on the door. She looks up at him, fear in her eyes. He approaches the door.
