Giles had noticed a steady increase in the amount of demons on the Hellmouth recently, every time Buffy came back from patrolling she added another 5 vampires to her allotted dusted total, she had also mentioned some other demons she had come across. These though, being demons from the underground that weren�t usually seen, ever. While a great opportunity for studies of them and actually quite a very exciting situation, it was still an odd occurrence and one he still couldn�t figure out.

�There was nothing Giles, absolutely nothing. The graveyards and streets were all empty. I even went to Willy�s and he had less then half his regular customers in.� Buffy paced anxiously. �I mean I know Wednesdays for Willy are kind of slow, but tonight, dead, very dead.� she paused. �Ok maybe not the best choice of words.�
�Right.� Giles agreed, already getting books and spreading them around on his table.
�What is there to research?� she asked already taking a seat and opening up a book.
�Well I�m hoping that there may be something about the date or even time of year that could be a reason for the serge and now massive drop off of demons.�
�Ok then.� she said sighing loudly and unlike the many times before, she buckled down and started to read.
A couple of hours later they had still found nothing that could explain anything about the demon weirdness as of late, but it was at that time that Willow walked into the house.
�Sorry I�m late. There was a study group and we got into a really heated discussion from class, which was interesting because it was about� actually you know what, never mind. So what we up to?�
Before Buffy could speak, Giles chimed in.
�Nothing actually Willow, there�s no point, we�re still not finding anything. You and Buffy might as well head off home.�
�What! No fair! Willow didn�t even have to pick up a book.�
�Yes, well I am sorry about that Buffy, but still. Both of you best be on your way. I�ll continue looking some more. See you both tomorrow.�
And he wondered off, head in a book as Buffy and Willow called their goodbyes as they left.

The walk home had become silent between Buffy and Willow. Since Xander had left they just couldn�t bring themselves to say anything. There was no one to joke about the regular stuff and make them laugh, to show how he cared for each of them. The only guy, well except for Giles, in among two girls and he didn�t care what it looked like to anyone else because he loved them as much as they loved him.
As they carried on walking Buffy heard the sound of fighting in the cemetery they were walking past.
�Uh-oh. Trouble.� she stated as Willow followed behind her.
They came out to quite an open bit of cemetery, but most of their view was obscured by an overgrown bush near the separating fence for each cemetery section. There they could see a man who looked to be in his late 30s early 40s taking on a couple of vampires, but before Buffy could run forward and help, claws that glinted like metal were released out of the mans hands and he took out all of them in no time at all.
This time both Buffy and Willow were prepared to go up to him. They had no idea who he was or even if he was good or evil and neither of them had ever seen claws like that before. However a voice made them stop dead in their tracks, an icy chill running through their souls.
�I told you we had vampires.�
�Yeah well saying you fought vampires and seeing one for real is different you know.� the older man had now turned to face where the voice was coming from and suddenly the person appeared in their line of sight.
�So what you thought I was lying to you?�
Willow nearly fainted and tears appeared in her eyes, before she ruthlessly swiped them away. She grit her teeth and glared daggers at the �THING� that wore her friends face. With crackling hands she shouldered past Buffy, who tried to grab her, but was too unsure of what would happen if she did.

* * *
�Not lying kid, just thought that maybe you had some mental problems, but I could deal with that.�
Xander spluttered, but could make out the gleam in Logan�s eyes that meant he was just messing about, he realised that he must have been quite a good influence on the man if he wasn�t as uptight as before.
�Yeah I�d definitely have to be mental if I�m around with you, but then again who needs sanity, I�m happy.� he smiled just before he felt a surge of power, which tingled all the way up his spine. He turned towards the feeling and was shocked at what he saw.
Willow, his bubbly red headed friend. Her eyes were seeping into black and her hands were crackling with power.
�Willow? What�s the matter with you?�
�Shut Up!� she shouted, cold black eyes staring at him. �Why do you look like him? Why? Who are you?� She had her hands raised, poised to strike out at him at any moment.
�Now listen, everything is ok, I really am Xander.�
�No you�re not. Whatever you are, you�re evil and not my Xander.� then she seemed to somehow collect more energy, making her whole body shake, a bit of blood dribbled down from her nose and Xander looked at her shocked.
�Willow, please.�
He could tell she wasn�t listening from the look of anger on her face. So he did the only thing he could. He let out all his power in one momentous burst straight at Willow. Her eyes rolled back, but faded as she rocked in midair being electrocuted until she passed out. The energy that she once had at her control finally dissipating and she dropped almost gently to the grass beneath her.
Buffy who had stood back, with no idea what to do, now ran forward straight over to Willows prone body. She could feel the hint of static that now covered Willows body and inched back slightly as she got a small electric shock from her shoulder.
�What did you do?�
�Don�t worry Buff, all that magic she was handling meant I didn�t harm her that badly, they kind of cancelled each other out. Then again she will have one hell of a headache when she wakes up.�
�Who are you?�
�I�m Xander.� he gave her one of his goofy smiles, but she still didn�t seem to trust him.
�If you really are him, you�ll follow me to Giles� place and have him check you out.�
�Fine whatever, will do.� she looked at him angrily and then noticing Willows body was less static pulled her up, getting one more electric shock and carrying her away. Xander took that to mean he had to follow.
�So those your friends then?� Logan said, walking next to a worried looking Xander.
�Yep, those are my friends.� he muttered, �And not actually the way I wanted to meet up with them.� Logan gave his shoulder a quick squeeze in comfort before going back to staring straight ahead.
