There she was. Our new guest. I haven't seen her before and for the life of me, I could not figure out why Buffy was breathing so angrily.

"Faith!" She spat out.

"You have a lot of nerve showing up here" Buffy was all business face now.

"Shaun, go inside" She ordered me.

I ran inside and peeked through the window as Buffy and Faith fought in a beautiful dance. It looked like Buffy was doing all the punching. Right hook, left hook, lower cut, uppercut, square cut and the whole shebang. Ok, Square Cut is a shot in cricket which I'm pretty sure no American would understand. Unless they are either part Indian or English.

Sorry for getting distracted but after nearly 15 minutes of fighting, Faith was laid on the ground with Buffy sitting over her and punching her face repeatedly. Faith did not resist and just kept on receiving the beatings. I thought my sister was going to be jailed for murder but luckily she stopped.

Buffy just left the heavily injured and bruised Faith laying on the ground and she marched near the door

"That was rough" I remarked as Buffy opened the front door to enter.

"She deserves much worse. I've got to talk to Angel" Buffy went on to dial the wireless landline phone which was in the kitchen. Now that I think of it, Kitchen was a weird place to have the phone but Americans always have them there. Like why?

Buffy returned back to the living room and opened the front door.

"You're not staying here!" Buffy shouted and shut the door again.

"Buffy that was cruel!"

"You know what she did!" She shouted and realised "Right. You don't. You didn't exist until a few months ago while I have to live with these fake memories"

"Buffy I might not remember what she did but I read it in the Shaunmeister chronicles. Weird name, by the way, the monks have a fu..." You can say the F-word in your mind just not loud. Got it universe!

"weird sense of humour" I completed after my fumble.

"So you do know what she did. Then how can you support her?" Buffy asked me.

"Buffy, what's going on?" We heard mom come down the stairs.

"Hi, Mom. Just me and Buffy fighting over who gave Tara the best birthday present. You know, silly brother-sister stuff" I covered as Buffy let out a relieved breath.

Mom just smiled and then chuckled. Then she was off back to her room.

"Shaun, Faith cannot know about..." Buffy started.

"Yeah, I know" I replied as I went back to my room and just jumped into bed.

Dawn, The Next Day

I found myself awake. After you know brushing, taking bath, eating breakfast and doing the usual things, I tracked down the diaries and hunted them for any info on Faith that would help me understand their conflict better.

I had read about her more than a month ago and things were starting to become kinda hazy on the details by this point. So going through the diaries I understood a lot of stuff. While the story was kinda too long, I did manage to understand a basic summary of the events.

Faith or Faith Lehane as it turned out was another slayer who was called around when she was 15. As for how two slayers exist when there is supposed to be one, Buffy apparently died and came back. Again, too complicated and not really essential to know about Faith. So we'll drop that.

Let's come back to Faith, shall we? Faith came to Sunnydale when Buffy was 17 and nearly about to be 18. Just to keep things in perspective, Buffy's presently 19 and in about 3 months, she would be 20. I am too unfocused for this shit. Anyways, let's give it a third try. They always say the third time's the charm.

Faith and Buffy would initially have minor squabbles but went on to become close friends. In fact almost sisters even. But it was not meant to be as Faith murdered the mayor's assistant at that time which led her into a path of darkness. That whole 'Breaking Bad' phase of Faith culminated with Faith teaming up with the mayor who really wanted to do this thing called Ascension.

But due to umm.. reasons, Buffy made Faith land in a coma. The diary was not too clear on it. We all know Buffy must have surely stopped this ascension thing otherwise this universe would have looked MUCH MUCH worse.

Later, Faith came back 'Leaner, Meaner, Stronger' from her coma and exchanged her body with Buffy during which she hooked up with cardboard. Ew!

After reading that little piece of the most useful information in this universe, I puked and returned to read the story which finished with Faith finally saving a bunch of people who were caught by vampires in a church and leaving the city once and for all.

You thought I would do this by ditching school? No, I need to be up to date on school stuff 'cause you know only that ultimately helps you to go to a good college and then to a good job. At least that's what I'm told by my elders.

So, I had to split the info gathering between morning, afternoon and evening.

Twilight, The Same Day

I found myself in the magic shop along with Buffy, Willow, Tara, Xander, Anya, Giles and even grandpa.

After hearing a ding as the front door opened, I suddenly found everyone standing with different kinds of weapons in their hands. Giles with a crossbow, Xander and Anya each had an axe, Riley had a gun and Tara and Willow had some knives floating in the air pointed at Faith and ready to attack.

"What is she doing here?" Xander asked apprehensively with a frown on his face.

Buffy and I stayed sat down at the table.

"It's ok guys. Angel vouched for her" Buffy announced but I could still feel the tension in the room. If I had to describe it, it was almost like the tension could burst at any time and create a nuclear disaster of Hiroshima and Nagasaki proportions. I say that with absolute sensitivity to the Japanese sentiments and I do not want to be cancelled.

"So Vamp boy says and we are supposed to roll with it?" Cardboard was the one to question Buffy.

"Cor said you guys needed me. Something about vision from The Powers That Be and some shit. Believe me, I would rather be anywhere else" Faith was really not helping her case here.

The Powers That Be? That's new. I looked at Buffy who just mouthed 'later!'.

"Cordelia?" Xander asked with a goofy grin on his face

"How is she by the way? Did she say anything about the Xan-Man?" He snapped his fingers in a goofy way which led him to drop his axe on the ground.

Cordelia? Who's this new character? Vision? As in Visions of the future? My mind was having so many questions and not enough answers. Buffy would anyhow mouth 'later!' if I look at her again so I just face-palmed myself and slept on my palms.

Faith rolled her eyes. At least that released some tension as everybody else started to drop their weapons. Giles was the last to do so. After dropping the said weapon, he went on to aggressively wipe his spectacles.

"The Powers That Be?" Giles asked in astonishment after he finished.

"Yup" Faith popped the 'p' but did so in a nonchalant tone.

"The last time I visited Angel, he and Cordelia had this friend called Doyle who was big with the visions" Buffy explained as she looked at the group.

"Who unfortunately died and passed on the visions to our dear Cor" Faith added.

"Hi Shaunie, how are you btw?" Faith grinned at me.

"Um... good I guess" I stuttered clearly being overwhelmed by becoming the sudden centre of attention.

As the sun was yet to set completely now, I was able to see Faith. My oh my was she a beauty. She had dark brown hair and eyes. She may be an inch or two taller than Buffy but I was taller than her by at least an inch. Her hair was let out um.. flat I guess. What am I? A hairstylist?

Anyways, that was so not the point. I could now see a smirk growing on Faith's face. Ohk. That smile and smirk are both killers. If only looks can kill, I would say she had a killer look.

Look at me rambling like an idiot.

"Right guys. Gotta drop Shaun at home. Now be good and don't kill Faith" Buffy held my right arm strongly in hers and dragged me out of there.

"Shaun, what are you DOING?" Buffy whisper yelled.

"What?" I asked her with the most innocent face that I could muster.

"You were so drooling over Faith in there. Let me tell you she's bad news. I'm barely tolerating her 'Cause Angel told me that I would absolutely need her. He begged me. I left Faith in there so that if one of our friends do kill her, I can be blame-free" Buffy rolled her eyes and delivered with such a deadpan tone that made me worried that my sister had turned evil.

"Wait. Kill?" I asked her alarmed.

Buffy suddenly started laughing.

"God. You're so easy to tease sometimes my Young Padawan"

"Right. Star Wars. Ooh, I get it" I affirmed.

After some time, as we reached home, I and Buffy went inside.

Afternoon, The next day

The computer science lab classes were a hoot. As the actual teacher had fallen ill for some reason, all of the students decided to harass the new substitute teacher. It was so extremely fun to do so. Now, that I come to think of it, this was the second time a substitute teacher had to take up this class.

There was a computer teacher previously. Mr Dongle I guess. Weird name I know. Background apology note for people who really name themselves Dongle. Sorry, got distracted. AGAIN.

Mr Dongle anyways was suddenly proclaimed to be ill by our school management and immediately like a week later, we found him being replaced by Mr Michael. Now, Mr Michael also had been announced ill. My senses sensed a worrying pattern here. Who am I kidding? It might all be nonsense for all we know.

After the lab finished, luckily lunch period started.

"How you doin' brah?" Shannon joined me at lunchtime.

"I'm doing ok I guess" I replied.

"There's this cute lookin' girl lookin' at you for a long time my brah"

Girls looking at me? Right. Like that will ever happen. Anyways, I decided to humour him.

"Where?" I asked him.

"At Your Back" he replied as I turned back to find Faith staring back at me.

"Shaun you're coming with me" Faith commanded me in a serious tone.

"No. I have to eat lunch" I protested which fell on deaf ears as she dragged me out of there.

"Let me just take the lunch with me" I whined.

Faith just dragged me to behind a bush and we sat there. I immediately started eating the waffles and the french fries which were given for lunch.

"Shaun" Faith started.

I was too hungry and too busy eating to notice Faith's low voice.

"Shaun!" This time Faith had my face between her hands.

"Right" I mumbled with Food in my mouth some of which sprayed on Faith.

"Ew! I get it. Eat first" Faith wiped off the food with her hands which sprayed all over her. After I finished eating the food in my mouth, I found that the remaining food had disappeared.

"Where's the remaining food?" I asked her.

Faith had this gleaming look on her face.

"I was feeling hungry so I ate all of it, S"

S? Like a new nickname? I kind of like it. But I can't let her know that.

"Ok S. Onto the more serious stuff. I told Buffy I am here 'Cause your life was in danger"

"Hold on. My life is always in danger 'Cause I'm Buffy's little brother" Who's taller than her, I mentally noted.

"Listen, S. But the real reason I'm here is 'Cause Buffy's life is in danger. Like Cor had this vision of Buffy actually dying"

My eyes widened. Well, Fuck!

A/N: It's been some time since I watched Buffy season 3. So, I don't know how I did in terms of Faith. Feel free to let me know in the reviews/comments. I know this chapter is a short one. That's cause I did not have any canon to fall back on. Let me know if you prefer shorter chapters or longer ones. Also, the next chapter will go on from a different POV. That's all for now. See ya in the next chapter.
