We got a peek at what all the characters are up to :D It's sad that Hourak has to banish Kaia. I can understand his decision, but still... *shakes fist* I doubt the other clan members would let her back in even if Hourak said it was okay, anyway :(

Tara's still uber-cool :D Very brave of her to meet with those creepy Oracles by herself - and they like the gift. Can't wait to see what it is :P

Uh-oh, Willow's getting deeper and deeper into the mess she created. She's having thoughts that she f'd up royally, but will it be too late? *bites nails*

Another great chapter! Loved it, Kitten *smooches & cuddles* Go ahead with yo bad self :P

Author's Response: *tackles and squishes PB* The clan has its rules, and Hourak as leader must follow them... even if they dont seem right. I think the girls will be safer away from the non-trusting cave people. At least the blood drinkers only come out at night... Tara Rocks, nuff said. Willow, shes in a world of trouble. Hope the consequences arent to great for her.. or the scoobs. Stay with, much more tale to tell!

Poor Kaia/Buffy having to endure that evil Kahn - glad he's dead! Hope Buffy doesn't beat herself up too much about killing a human! And loved Willow dealing with Angel, even though she's bad now. Groma will be missed when she leaves the clan, Hourak should have thought it through more! really enjoying this!!! update soon!!

Author's Response: Thanks for the review andy :) Groma will be missed more than the clan realizes.... Hourak really should have thought this through. Updates to come soon :)

Oh God I knew it was gonnna happen but it was hard to read. Poor Buffy/Kaia. I'm glad she killed him I hope Buffy doesn't feel guilt for too long.Yay! the cave perv is dead! Loved Willow using that forgetting spell on Angel. lol and Spike feels that Buffy is in trouble. Poor Groma too, she has to leave her home. but she won't leave Buffy/Kaia and maybe she can help Buffy.

Good chappie, even if it was rough. Can't wait for the next one!

Author's Response: Thanks for the R&R AMI, yeah, I warned it from the beginning. Its a very important part of the story, so my apologies, but I made sure it was as none graphic as possible. *flicks angel* spell was funny :) much much more to come. *hugs* thanks for being a loyal reader!

Oh god! I knew it! Buffy is still going to place Kahn in that 'human' equals innocent category. I have a really bad feeling when they finally get Buffy back that she won't see anything wrong with what Willow did. It's infuriating how she lets sins go when they are human, but, yet, demon transgressions are never forgotten. Don't get me wrong I understand that mentality because she is the Slayer. Oh no, this could mean bad news for Spike when she comes back. I hope she hangs onto that mantra that Spike is changing. God this was one thing that bothered me with this show!!!! Soul vs. No Soul. There are many 'innocents' who have souls doing evil and wretched things! I say innocents loosely because the way it was put was humans are innocents whereas demons aren't. This pissed me off but still made me understand it because the Slayer can't guess who is evil or not. Though you would think that she had some internal radar for that. Hmmm
Ok rant over. I said this because of one sentence you have Buffy speaking. It pissed me off lol.

I killed a human. As the slayer, I am here to protect humans. Not kill them, Kaia. No matter what.

This just bothered me. It was accidental and she was defending herself. SO had she not been a Slayer she would still be "OH GOD I killed someone!!!!" "I'm bad I deserve punishment"

Whereas in a court of law they would look at facts and determine was this accidental - a fight for your own life? Or was it in fact pre-meditated murder. So this is also why I have problems with AR scene too...

Nuff bout that lol! Great update! I had a feeling you would lean towards Buffy accidentally killing him while defending herself. I just hope she gets off the pity party and realizes it was in defense and look at it from a victim point of view. She's blocking that out!

Still loving the Tara/Spike interaction. Spike is being incredibly intuitive to all in the house....I LOVE it!

Typical Willow with Angel. Wonder if this is a good thing or bad thing? Can't wait for more! So sorry I ranted on your reviews!!!!! I am sure this was incredibly hard to write. I congratulate you! Well done! I so hope Groma helps Buffy/Kaia heal both mentally and physically as well as emotionally. GOD I LOVE HER!!!! Update soon!!!!!!

Author's Response: I love your review :) I left you some clues/answers on EF... dont forget to look. I responded there first cuz TSR was being bitchy. Oracles and Spike playing a larger role coming soon. Plus life in the small cave, not gonna be without problems. Thanks for being such a loyal reader and awesome reviewer!

Hmmm, consequences for Willow need to happen soon before she gets even more stupid.

Author's Response: Hmmm, I think some consequences for Willow will be happening soon. Stay with, much more to come.

Oh why could Buffy defend her own now after Kaia and Buffy were raped? That should have happened earlier, before she was raped. I just hope she isn't pregnant but Groma should see to that.
And as I feared Kaia can't stay with her clan now. Things got a lot harsher in this chapter. *sigh*

Author's Response: Thanks CK, I didnt know how you would react to the rape. I tried hard to be as non-graphic as possible. Times are harsh for the "3" of them now, but the do have each other. Kahn out of the picture is a blessing, but at what costs...

Angel anoys me, but he's probably a part you need so I'll bare with it :P

I'm loving your story(: ..and hating Kahn and hating a little Willow too.

Hope Buffy finds her way to Spike (:
Keep it up;)

Author's Response: Thanks for the R&R Tru, keep reading, I think you will like future updates.

Uh-oh... Kahn is disgusting :/ So were they turok-han? Nice idea. Loved Tara's conversation with Angel, glad she convinced him to stay away.

Author's Response: Thanks for the R&R Xaph! So glad you are enjoying *huggles*

Oh! I forget, Willow is in the mansion right now.... Angel will have a guest then. *reads on* He noticed.
And Spike is right - if Angel takes care of Willow (even if it is out of selfish reasons) at last Willow is out of the way.
And hi, another cliffhanger! More soon?

Author's Response: Yup, Willow is at the mansion making a mess :P Willow .. *shakes head* yeah, another cliffhanger :P

good chapter. I like the part with Willow. Once again, it was like watching a movie.

And the bit about Spike and Angel.... priceless. I just love Spike's glib attitude, but I can't help but be nervous about it. Angel did have some pretty important things to tell him, but he just shooed him away.

I hope it wasn't a mistake. And it's good to see Buffy alright from the fight, but what is she going to do what Kahn steps up to attack her... And silly Angel. Always going where he isn't needed. *shakes head* He just can't stay away when Buffy doesn't need him. But leaves when she does... no sense of direction, huh? I so can't wait for the next chapter!

Author's Response: Thanks, Chan! major compliment about it being like a movie! I love it! Angel is such an ass... cant wait to see what happens to him when he confronts Willow :)

Ok now I'm getting irritated lol! Angel is such a pretentious bastard! Why is it that I am coming to the conclusion Kahn is just like Angel? Angel is so going to screw up and get himself roped into whatever Willow is trying to accomplish. I just hope that Tara and Spike find what they need to bring Buffy back. Crosses fingers for what comes with the visit to the Oracle's. Another thing that really made me peeved was Willow's whole theory that Buffy is on a freaking vacation! I know Buffy has learned quite a bit where she is, but for what's coming - I truly, very truly, feel for her. I am cringing - will it be she hurts (quite possibly kills) Kahn and is accused or hides this fact or she lets him to protect herself but shame herself at the same time. Tough spot to be in. Why is it the freaking vamps didn't attack the sick bastard???? Oh I am really deep into this story Kitten! Definitely know how to bring out the emotions for the reader! Love the update! Sorry been MIA lately have only come on to read at work - been excercising like mad! Hugs wonderful update!!!!!

Author's Response: Excercizing like mad! Thats great!!! I am all bouncy with your excitement at the story and the chapter! I have so much more to share... so stay wiff, updates soon !

Cringes for Kaia/Buffy. I knew she was a Slayer! It explains the feelings that Kaia felt leading Buffy to ultimately think this! Oh and I'm still loving the Kaia and Buffy talking/working together. I'm just hoping Buffy will go back when it's her time. Gulps at that. Cus I had the impression other than Spike she was reluctant in wanting to go back. Another question that has been dancing around in my head - Is the possibility of Kaia being the First Slayer, Senaya. My head's playing with the theory of this that your First Slayer is Kaia...Hmmm let's my mind run, lol.

Can I just tell you that I LOVE your Tara! She kept Angel away, but for how long? If given the opportunity I think Tara would have done so much better on the show than quite possibly Willow did and I love all the characters but some more so than others. Tara just amazes me here. You still give her this air of insecurity but you have managed to gain her some confidence. I swear I think it's having someone like Spike on her side that is bringing this out! Love it! And...GASP...she swears! Finally, because I love quiet shy Tara but self confident wise Tara is even better. I Loved the update. EEK, the vamps you have are freaky. Now, finally, Kahn I have a feeling is going to be shoved off and Kaia/Buffy run away in fear. I'm wondering if she will run to her cave or run to Groma should anything happen. Oh so many questions but having a feeling something will happen Kaia/Buffy will protect themselves. I don't think they will kill Kahn but just hurt him really bad and run. Ok maybe I should stop and start begging...Kitten pretty please update soon!!!!!!! Loved it as always!

Author's Response: I am guessing that you really liked this updaye :P Lots of info huh? much more to be revealed and soon, I promise, really I do :) Love your reviews, so full of questions and ideas, but you know I cant tell you! heehee Evil aren't I :D

Ugh, Kahn just creeps me out, hopefully Buffy/Kaia will protect them selves;)

The vamps of the race of the master, are those like Turok Hans's or just the race of the master? xD

Oh and Tara refusing Angel to come to help, way to go Tara! :)

Loving your story, it's so original;)

Keep it up
