Congrats on your awards!! *hugs and twirls* It makes me so happy to know many others have discovered this great story :D

Spike's thoughts about the kid made me giggle heehee And it's very cool that Hourak decided to help Spike find Kaia (and that they were able to communicate well enough). He feels guilty for having to banish her and is tyring to make up for it :)

Aww Buffy trying to take care of Groma was sweet. I'm worried about the old (and Sunnydale Memorial Award-winning!) girl ;)

Ooh you and your evil cliffies! heehee Awesome ending, and you know we can't wait to see what happens next! Congrats again on your well-deserved wins, Kitten! *smoochies and hugs and love*

Author's Response: *tackles and hugs PB* I am still so surprised that I won! Hourak may be struggling with his emotions now, but I wonder how he will feel when he sees a pregnant Kaia, and a ailing Groma...
Groma sick, I'm worried too :(
Next chapter should be interesting... Spike meets Kaia, or Buffy, or BK? damn... poor Spike!

Oh you are Evil. He finally finds her and you stop.

More Please.



Author's Response: *smirks* Thanks Debbie for the R&R, more coming soon. I promise!

Ooooh, evil cliffhanger woman! Next chapter soon please....

Author's Response: thanks all4spike! more soon, you know the rules :P

Yay for Spike's victory. Buffy is so hurt right now, all the hormones and emotions are getting past her stiff upper lip facade. I hope Spike will get to her soon. I think she needs a friendly face. Specially Spike, someone to hold her and to share her pregnancy with. I hope they meet up soon.

Poor Groma, she isn't doing too well either.

Ah, Willow got a tste of her own medicine with the flaying, huh? But, I really really hope that nothing baad happens to Tara. Please update soon!

Author's Response: Thanks for the read and review chan *hugs tight* I hope all is well with you, its been a while! I promise they will meet up soon, very soon, maybe even next chapter. As far as Tara.... stay tuned!

Spike is getting closer and Buffy is missing him. She will recognize him, but will he? I'm gonna go with he will. He is always so intuitive to Buffy.

The flaying from the best seems enough to scare (and gross us out lol) Willow although, it's not breaking her.

What I am beyond worried about is...This beast going after Tara. I really hope nothing happens to Tara. How is going after Tara going to make her listen? It will only push her towards anger and revenge - not to the point of breaking. Tsk Tsk Tsk Mr. Demon to break Willow you must take away something that means a bit more to her - and that's power (magic). Tara means a lot to her but it will only serve as means to come back with a vengeance. Ah you make this so edge on the seat! More Kitten definitely more!!!!!

*Send lots of hugs n smooches for an awesome update*

Author's Response: Thanks for another awesome review Lissa. Willow is in a bad situation, the Beast knows what he's doing, be patient, but Willow, skinless, and magically bound! wtf is she gonna do? another update soon!

Spike dusted those ugly uber vamps - Yay! And without getting too messed up himself :D Now, if he can just find Buffy... It's good to see that she still feels the same way about Spike, and regrets the way she left him without explanation. She's going to be super suprised to see him too!

Eww Willow's punishment was creepy - and ironic, considering we know what she did in s6 on the show. I'm worried about Tara now. Willow's arrogance and stupidity is going to end up hurting someone else *shakes fist at Willow again*

Great chapter, Kitten! I can never get enough of this story! More soon please :D *huggles and smoochies of love*

Author's Response: Thanks for the review and all the other stuff you do *sings*
Buffy will be surprised, and soon. but will she be happy? Willow ... so sad what you've become... *shakes head* More answers to all the questions in coming chapters.

Hmm! I see, like that is it hmm....

Author's Response: Thats right *struts*

lol at Angel being all disgruntled.

Willow is in for it now. What does the demon have in mind for her, I wonder.

I can't wait to see what happens to Spike and the ubervamp, and how he finds Buffy, and what Buffy's reaction to him will be.

Loved the update, now for another? More soon!!

*hugs*

Author's Response: So glad you are still enjoying! all of your questions will be answered soon, stay will me, Please!

Oh boy...Willow's in trouble. I don't feel sorry for her at all. I'm evil sometimes. ;) I 'm glad Spike's making his way in Caveville, but poor thing getting kicked in the shin for saving the little brat. LOL Spik'e observation about being a hero was spot on. You are really capturing Spike's voice here. Glad Buffy's finding peace and feeling better. I'm kinda confused..Buffy is still in Kaia's body, but it's only Buffy's essence now and not Kaia"s right? So what will happen to the body Buffy is in? Oh so many questions.. lol
And GO Spike and kick some Ubervamp ASS!!

Loved it, more soon please, please!!

Author's Response: Thank for the review AMI :) Willow, *flicks between eyes*. Spike has his work cut out for him. He better figure somethings out fast... and Buffy. Dont be confused, your confusion will be addressed. I promise. But a great question *wink* UberVamp ass kicking in next update.

Hmm.......


(Thought I'd keep it short!)

Author's Response: nuff said.

*giggles* My review now!!! Hee hee.

I feel not an ounce of sympathy for you Willow. I hope you do learn. Really glad no death but a lesson learned. Like how you think.

Sighing very heavily in regards to Angel. I'm guessing he will come back. Ok I get that to help out, but he needs to learn that he walked away, he has many issues, and needs and equal not someone to 'doll' up and put in a damn corner. Uh, he annoys me with his holier than thou attitude. Yeah I know Buffy had that too, but this Buffy, your Buffy, oh I like her. I love her lots. She is processing everything being thrown at her. She has a strong sense of self. I was amazed even though she peeved me off about the pregnancy and not to mention about the rape...She has simply floored me! Her inner strength is amazing even though her in the moment grasping isn't. When she processes' it has that air of maturity even though you want to wring her neck for not seeing it at the time. Love that!

Still quite curious how Kaia can be the baby...maybe that's a mistake? Oh god I soooo want to know! Suspense is killing me, kitten!

So unknown dimension...you sneaky devil. You definitely snuck in a clue!

Ponders Giles for a moment....Wonders what he ultimately think of all this....Hmmm need to see him some more than we have to form an opinion.

Cordelia is a kicker, I tell ya! Hope she kicks some sense into Angel.

Now Spike...Oh how I lurve Spike. No soul and still he amazes me! You write him in such a way that from the moment Buffy stepped on those stairs and he knew it was her and not the Bot, he literally has this capacity for goodness. You can see it in his awed expression. You see him. Oh you do an astounding job writing him. Not even a thought of the chip he grabs the boy and am I the only one who notices the chip didn't go off? Wait your story he still has the chip right? groans...Do I have to go back and read again lol.

He's funny though poke me with sharp sticks...Uh Spikey boy you a vampy...RUN!!!! See that's why I was a tad confused the chip. He was holding the struggling boy. So the boy didn't want his help wouldn't this set the chip off then? Or could it possibly be that the chip doesn't work here...OOOH that would be wicked!

I have no fear of the ancient vampire tackling him. Of course it will be a tough fight just like Buffy had with an ancient vampire too. Has a feeling Spike will be a riot when that happens. The vamp attacking him for food...Oh god are they stupid lmao!

I love this update and can't wait for more Kitten! *lots of hugs n kisses*

Author's Response: MY o MY lissa! You wrote a book! Let me see :) I will tell you Willow will not be die. I love Willow, but she needs to learn her lesson.

Angel, what an ass. I think Cordy will keep him in check for now. No worries.

Buffy has had to time to work through her Sunnydale problems in Caveville more than she realizes. She seems to be maturing before our eyes, or is she in denial of her need to return to her own time? Kaia's entire life is in chaos. THAT you will have to trust me to explain through the course of the story. Stay tuned.

Giles has arrived. The father figure is now waiting by her side after leaving her to grow. IF/when she returns... how will Buffy react to him? and how will Giles feel is his little girl has changed so much?

Already address Cordelia, she has her hands full :)

Spike (Joss' Spike) was an anomaly. No matter how many times we are told that he had lost his soul when he was turned, he was never the demon like the others. Yes, he had the ability to be like them, but he struggled. I sometimes think he waited on Dru and claimed he did it as he owed her for his turning, but I think it was an outlet for his caring nature. BUT what do I know.

Now, that pesky chip. Lets see. Arrives in Caveville, still a vamp, but able to walk in the sun... good catch that things aren't exactly the same there. Gotta wonder about that :P But, he was trying to save him and didn't hurt or attempt to hurt him even after he got abused by the brat.

The old vamps are the UberVamps from season 7, too bad this takes place season 6 *heehee* But I agree. The battle should be interesting. Now off to respond to your next review! *hugs*

A lesson for Willow ~ sounds the right thing to do. And hopefully something where she will learn.

As Spike will learn now the hard way how to fight the ancient vampires.

Looking forward to more!

Author's Response: Thanks for the loyal reading and reviewing, CK *hugs* Willow... shame on her, now a price to pay.... Spike will be fighting something new.. hope he makes it out of the fight ok :-0!
