Disclaimer: I don't own BtVS. And the idea I borrowed from M. Scott Eiland. Thankies. And I promise not to be too mean.

"So my father is.... no way...." Xander exclaimed in almost falling off his couch.

"I'm afraid so. It's not everyday that you come back from the dead, and find out your real father was a War God." Tairra patted Xander's leg.

"Yeah, and finding out where my little sister ended up was a plus." Xander smiled.

"Hey! I'm not the little. And besides, I'm only legally your half sister. Different dads do that to people. But I can't complain. I love being half Succubus." Tairra beamed at her brother, while shaking her finger at him for the little part. "Besides, I'm five feet five inches. That's taller then a couple of the demons in my Psychology class. We have like three imps." She made the motion of three fingers and pushed it into Xander's face. "Three!"

"Very nice, Dessie. Now, no more caffeine for you!" Xander said, as Tairra started to sulk. Rune sat in the chair adjacent. And laughed at the antics of the two.

"Tairra Desire'e Lavelle Harris, no pouting!" Xander mock yelled at the pouting Tairra. Her eyes flashed, as she stood up.

"No calling out the full name!" Tairra pouted in a full out temper tantrum.

Xander, not being fazed by this, turned to Rune. "Does she do this often?"

"Only if you call her, her full name." Rune whispered back in a stage whisper. Which earned him a glare from Tairra.

Then Tairra stopped, and seemed to remember something. Then dropped down to the couch. "Sorry, Alexie. I just can't stand my full name, brings back some bad memories of home."

Xander gathered her up, and hugged her to his chest. "I understand, Dessie. Remember I was there." He joked, but even Rune could see the pain of the past haunting the two siblings.

Tairra let a tear slip down her cheek. Which Xander quickly caught. "Remember, no tears. I didn't let that bastard hurt you then. And like hell I'll allow him to hurt you now!"

Tairra looked up at Xander, tears shining in her eyes, "They aren't for me, Alexie. They are for you."

Xander held onto her like she was glass. "I love you, Tairra Desire'e."

"And I love you too, Alexander, My Alexie." Tairra hugged back.

Rune had tears in his eyes as he watched the touching scene. He knew this was the kind of healing both truly needed.

At the Magic Box

Buffy walked in, and dropped to one of the chairs. "That was a good day at work."

"And it gets better, Buff. I saw Xander get raised from the dead." Spike smiled at the trio that hand walked in.

"Very funny Spike." Buffy's voice got very cold. And her eyes went hard.

"Do I look like I'm bloody joking, Slayer." Spike spit out the word Slayer like it scalded his tongue.

Willow just looked like a broken toy. Tara was the only thing keeping her tied to this world. Because her other part of her main support was missing.

"Not possible Spike. Believe me. I looked up every resurrection spell. Unless he was raised into a zombie, he isn't coming back...wait maybe he was. Then we have to stop the person who did that to him!" Willow's eyes got very worried, but at least she had a will to do something...now.

Tara hung onto Willow, in fear that her beloved would slip back into the dark place in her mind. Tara quickly sent a quick pray for this new mission, to keep Willow busy.
