Kyle - One Life

Though Kyle met Willow and made a new friend, and he reunited with Liz, though their reunion was cut short, Kyle felt more alone then ever before. He just felt like no one wanted to be there for him, he understood his friends had problems of there own, but that didn't mean it upset him any less. He was just walking around, thinking, and exploring. He was new in town and didn't know much about the area, so he wanted to familiar himself with it. Somehow he had been out walking most of the day and it was now night time.

Kyle somehow made his way to the graveyard. He didn't like graveyards and it only made him feel more lonely. It was ok, it gave him more time to think, and none of the souls surrounding him in their eternal slumber would judge him for that. He continued to walk around and finally spotted someone, for once a living soul walking alone in the graveyard. Kyle thought it was strange, but that would make him strange, as he was doing the exact same thing. She seemed to be lost in thought too as she didn't notice the guys coming up to her.

Kyle was about to be a hero and rescue her from being kidnapped, or raped, or killed, or worse. He thought, what were the odds, another Marriageable gal to bring home to Papa Valenti that needed Kyle's help. But knowing his luck, she would probably either be spoken for, a lesbian, or both. Still, she needed his help, even if he got beaten up for his troubles, at least he saved an innocent women from a gruesome fate. But she then unexpectedly sprung into action. Fighting off her would be attackers. Kyle wanted to cheer her on, but he then saw something else that shocked him.

She took out a long pointed wooden stick and jabbed it in to where the heart of the men would be. Kyle watched as one by one they turned into dust, dust that Kyle was sure he didn't want to breathe in. For some reason Kyle was hiding behind a headstone, suddenly terrified by what was going on around him. He was then unexpectedly grabbed from behind by someone very strong and brought to the group of remaining males and the female that was once so marriageable. "Give it up slayer or pretty boy here gets it." The man that had Kyle in his arms squirming said.

Now Kyle was no lightweight and trained 10 hours a day to be the best baseball player he could be, so he had some power, but he could not manage to break the mans grip. He looked at the people around him and for a split second was unsure who the good guy(s) were. Feeling all alone and helpless, Kyle felt his emotions boil up inside of him. Oh no, he felt it the power going to his hands and placed them in the only save place he could reach, on the mans hips. The red sparks shot through him causing the man to let go of Kyle and fly backwords into a monument.

Kyle never did learn to control his powers, and now he had lost control of them completely. His arms continued to spark red sparks as he approached the guy he knocked down, brief concern crossed his mind that he killed the guy, but it was soon replaced with fear as the guy stood up like nothing happened and lunged at Kyle. Kyle swung as hard as he could at the guys jaw as the sparks were still going off and the guy went flying towards the girl, who Kyle knew only as Slayer, and the other two vampires. Kyle Ran...

He had no other option, he was scared and alone and didn't know what to do, he hid underneath a tree, hoping his powers would stop freaking on him, he briefly wondered who was winning, or what he walked into in the first place, but it wasn't help anything. He soon heard footsteps approaching. "Go away, I don't want to hurt you." He warned them, whoever they wore.

Kyle wanted someone, anyone to call his own, and though he knew it may never happen, he wasn't about to give up. He tried meeting people, going to bars and mixers and what not. He didn't have the best of luck and maybe there was something to the Liz curse, but someday he was find his true love and no long feel like the odd man out of the group, he would feel like he truly belonged. That was his goal, to someday be as happy as Max and Liz, or as happy as Michael and Maria, without the breaking up and getting back together over and over thing.

What happened next scared Kyle almost to death. The whole situation was violent and scary and stressful. He often found himself losing control when stuff like this happened. It is why he ran, he didn't have control, he didn't want to hurt anyone, even though, one of them wanted to hurt him, it was just against who Kyle was. So hurting those people, no matter what they wanted to do was even more fuel to his emotional state. On top of that, he just exposed himself to a handful of people, none of them can know what he was, and now they did.

So the bad news kept coming. It wasn't long till he found out the answer to his question. The girl had won. He wondered if she was the good guy or not, but she wasn't the one that threatened him in the first place, so she probably was the good guy. Her asking him if he was ok only added to this speculation that she was in fact one of the good guys in this scenario, so though his guard was still up as he tried to get his abilities under control, he somehow felt that she was not gonna hurt him in any way, so his guard against her was lowered.

"I'm..." Kyle told her, though his hands were still sparking, he just wanted to tell he was ok so she would go away and he wouldn't hurt her, but he couldn't, as it was a lie. "No..." He answered sadly. She then told him she can handle herself. He did not doubt this statement one bit, he just wondered why she felt that way. He wondered if he could kill someone when he got like this or not, but he didn't know the answer for sure. For now he just wanted to get somewhere dark and quiet to hide and wait till it stops, and that was impossible as he was far from his motel room.

"I don't know how to control it. I don't know what I am capable of." He told her, she then asked if he wanted to know what was going on. The truth was, he did, he did want to know what was going down, and her talking to him, being kind to him even though he was not normal, he was different, calmed him down. He nodded. "I can't promise I can tell you what is going on with me." Kyle responded to her, it wasn't something he could just blab to other people, it put his life and his friends lifes in danger. But he wanted to know what was going on.

"What were those things? What are you? Why did they attack us? What's your name?" Kyle asked her the questions flooding out of his mouth. It seemed to take his mind off stuff as his powers were starting to spark out and would soon go away, but he needed her to keep talking to him, to keep treating him like a normal guy, like he would never be again.

Notes: Me Too!!!

Kyle never thought his night would end up going that bad that fast. He first thought he was gonna stop some guys from hurting an innocent women, it then turned out the women maybe wasn't so innocent and the guys were more then they seemed, and then his powers went haywire. That is not how he wanted to spend a weekend night on his own. He wanted to meet a girl and settle down and learn to control his abilities. Liz was lucky, she had the whole group to help her through it, Kyle didn't have anyone, so no wonder he had no control.

"By kick their ass, you mean accidentally attack them and by run to safety you mean run away and hide like a coward." Kyle corrected her, managing a smile over it, yeah, maybe his actions were not the most brave that he could of shown, and if she was single and ready to mingle, he blew that chance, but she was so gorgeous and nice, evil unknown person killing aside, that he would be shocked if she didn't have a boyfriend already. So he decided to forget about that, someday, somewhere, he will meet someone, it was just not tonight.

"Thank you, I think your a good person too, despite watching what I watched." Kyle told her, he didn't know what he saw, he didn't know what those things were, so he had no idea if she was the good guy in the fight or not, but she seemed like she was, she didn't grab and threaten to kill him like the others did, not yet anyways. "Thank you. Even if I wanted to tell it, it would probably bring you more trouble then it is worth." Kyle told her, thankful she didn't want to know everything, as he couldn't and wouldn't give her any of the information yet anyways.

Finally, the sparks stopped happening and Kyle began to relax a little bit. It was over, the fight was over, the sparking was over, and hopefully the danger was over. "Vampires? Makes sense... Buddhism has taught me there is more out there then normal people ever know." Kyle told her, it wasn't really his religion that led him to believe this, it was him, himself, his life, his friends, everything. So to find out that those things she killed were vampires didn't phase him to much. "I have seen crazier things." Kyle told her truthfully, he knew she wasn't crazy.

"You are just so strong and fast, how can you be just normal?" Kyle asked her confused, but then he decided that if she didn't have to know everything about him, then he didn't need to know everything about her. "Its ok, I understand, you can't say, right?" Kyle told her, he wanted to get up off the ground now and started to pull himself up by the trunk of the tree. "You must think I am a loser or something, hiding like that?" Kyle asked her, he tried to be brave and do heroic things, but the night, it was just to much, his powers kicking in didn't help anything.

"I don't think I taste any good." Kyle said when she said that the vampires probably wanted to drink from him, it was the first joke he managed all night, and he needed it. "Hi Sarah, I'm James." Kyle told her with a smile, she seemed like just a normal person. "I play baseball for the local minor league team. I guess your job is killing vampires?" Kyle asked her with a smile. He was starting to loosen up and return to his old normal self now, now that the danger was truly over and he didn't have to worry about accidentally hurting her.

"I guess not." Kyle responded when she asked if it mattered or not if using his powers was an accident or not. He did have them, yes, and maybe that was an accident too, gaining them in the first place. But having them meant he did have ability, he was just so scared to use it. "I just, I follow Buddhism and I don't like to hurt people." Kyle told her. "And... my powers scare me." He added, using them to attack someone, even on accident, even in self defense, went against his faith and having them went against who he wanted to be.

"Alive and a coward, or brave and dead." Kyle told her when she said he ran to be safe. Yeah, maybe some people thought it was a cowardly move, others thought it was smart. Kyle was taught to be brave, and back in the day, he ran to a fight alongside his friends, and now he hid from it. Granted, he no longer had 3 alien-human hybrids to watch his back, but he use to be braver then this. He just smiled at her. "Thanks for trying to make me feel less of a coward at least." He told her, he would never fully get over this, but she helped a little.

"Really, judging by tonight trouble is more accurate then goody-two shoes for a middle name." Kyle told her with a smile. For some reason her being nice to him, his powers going away and everything just made him able to be himself around her. Sure he felt foolish for running, but she made him feel better. And for some reason his good mood was putting her in a good mood, or was it the other way around? Kyle couldn't tell who's mood brightened first, but it wasn't as awkward now as it was a few minutes ago between them, and Kyle was glad about that.

"Well not exactly." Kyle told her with a smile when she asked if buddhism taught him that there was so much more out there then meets the eye. It was his life that taught him that that lead him to study Buddhism. So in this case the chicken came before the egg instead of the egg before the chicken, but it was the same thing to him. The two, his religion and being a human alien hybrid, went hand and hand in Kyle's mind.

"Thanks, and you are no more crazy then I am." Kyle told her, which he wasn't sure if it was a compliment or not. Kyle has questioned rather or not he would always remain sane or not, ever since his grandfather was put into a nursing home and began acting insane. So he wasn't sure if it was a good thing he just said or not. "Like what? What else have you seen?" Kyle asked her curious if she knew anything about aliens. She said she saw some insane things in her time, and he was just checking to see if him and his friends were not one of them.

He nodded at her when she told him that he was right that she couldn't tell him. He understood having to keep secrets far better then most people ever did. Thanks... for being so understanding." Kyle told her with a smile. She wasn't judging him for running and he expected that a lot of people would of laughed at him for running and hiding like that, but not her, she thought it was a good move. "Yeah its not fun being used as a human shield. To be honest, I ran cause I was afraid I was gonna hurt them or you, not that they were gonna hurt me." He told her truthfully.

"Well... maybe." Kyle told her with a smile. He knew what his blood tasted like cause he was an athlete, so a cut or bloody nose would often bleed into his mouth. Suffice it to say, it didn't taste nice. "That would be nice, if you want to that is. I will give them your name and you will have to amazing tickets waiting for you." Kyle said, he never disliked showing off his skills for people. "Teacher by dad, vampire killer by night, interesting life choices." Kyle told her, though he was hardly one to judge.

"Well...would you believe I was exploring?" Kyle asked her with a chuckle as his explanation why he was in a creepy graveyard by himself at this time of night. "I am new in town and wanted to get the lay of the land and accidentally ended up here." He added to clarify. At least he didn't have to ask her why she was here, as he knew the answer to that one already.

"A friend of mine turned me on to it." Kyle said, which was sort of the truth. He took up Buddhism because of the fact that he found out that aliens were real and that one of them had to save his life by healing him. So Kyle took it up to sort of deal with it all. So in a sense, a friend, Liz Parker to be exact, dragged him into the world of aliens, and so it led him to take up Buddhism. He exactly couldn't come out and say 'I took up Buddhism cause all my friends except for one are human/alien hybrids like myself' now could he?

He shrugged at her next comment. He was kind of afraid of himself, he was afraid that if he didn't get a hold of his powers soon then he might accidentally kill someone who doesn't deserve it. So in a sense, he was scared of himself and what he has become. She then said that he had to accept himself for who he is and he nodded. "It couldn't hurt, but I like myself the way I was before I got spark plugs for hands." Kyle told her truthfully, still he she had a point, Kyle wanted someone to like him, but he didn't even like himself right now.

"So just how crazy do you think I am?" Kyle asked with a smile. He wondered sometimes how crazy he really was. Was the last 7 years of his life just in his head? Did he really meet a bunch of Alien hybrids? Maybe this all came from Liz breaking up with him and he just snapped and ended up in a mental institution and all of this is in his head and not really happening. He made it all up to cope with Liz Parker breaking up with him. Kyle liked to pretend that this was true sometimes, but deep down, he knew the truth, and that was his life was as real as it gets.

"I didn't mean it like that. I meant that of the two of us, I am the most likely to be the crazy one of the two." Kyle told her trying to clear the air, but she was clearly not mad about it. When the topic turned to what else is out there he nodded. "I met a witch once, well she claimed to be a witch, she was really nice though and didn't seem like one, but some reason I believed her, maybe because I can't say I don't believe in something when I am living proof that something does exist, if that makes any sense." Kyle told her, he needed to contact Willow soon.

"Uh-huh." Kyle said when she told him that maybe he could find someone like him. There were only, to Kyle's knowledge at least, 8 people in the world like him. 1 of them was still a child probably and a boy. 4 of them were in epic romances already and the final 3, Kyle had no idea where they even were. Even if he did, they were not the best of company to have unless one of them changed drastically over the last 5 years. So him finding someone like him to be with was completely out of the question. He could only hope to find someone that didn't mind the fact he was an alien.

"Good, I am glad, I always like showing off for a pretty lady. Will you be bringing anyone to the game, a friend or husband or something?" Kyle asked her before quickly adding. "So I know how many tickets and souvenirs to get you." Kyle said, it was a nice recovery if he didn't say so himself, but what he was really wanting to know if she was single or not. But knowing his luck and how great she seemed to be, it was highly unlikely. Kyle would never move in on another mans girl, especially now that he knows how bad it feels to have it happen to you.

"Thanks." Kyle said, he wondered himself what brought him here. He knew this graveyard was here and never wanted to come here, but for some reason he decided to check it out tonight. He shrugged at her comments. "Like I said, I am likely crazy." Kyle told her she then held her hand out for a handshake and he took it and "Thanks" her as he shook her hand. "Well, I thought this town was boring, but then I found out there are witches and vampires here and now my opinion has changed." Kyle said with a smile at her when she asked how he liked it here.

Notes: Poor Kyle, looking for love in all the wrong places, literally, XD

"Yeah, we recently reunited. She is basically my best friend." Kyle said, though she had a ton of best friends and he wasn't as close with everyone else in the group like Liz was. He shrugged. "Well we are not alone out there, that much is certain." Kyle told her. Aliens, vampires, god knows what else, if it was all real, then there had to be someone, somewhere, pulling all the strings. Maybe not a "God" per say. Maybe something else something much more evil, that has designs for taking over the world. Kyle knew what he believed, and that was all that mattered.

Has his powers really led him to meet anyone? Kyle didn't know any more. He knew that some people, most in fact, when around him would go from being upset to being in a much better mood. Was he doing it? He didn't know for sure and the chance to test it didn't present itself tonight. Kyle was the one upset tonight, not Sarah. He knew talking to people became friends with him, like Willow a few days ago. But Kyle thought it was because of his calm nature and personality that Willow liked about him, not that he was manipulating her to feel better.

If that is Kyle's ability, he didn't want to use it for personal gain, he wanted people to like him for who he was, not because he can jedi mind trick them into friendship, if that is what it is called. "Thanks." He replied when she said there was nothing wrong with the way he was now. "It... it just keeps me from getting close to people. I'm afraid I am gonna hurt them or something else is gonna go wrong. I didn't have those fears before I turned." Kyle said, he wasn't even sure if the word turned was the correct word here, but it sounded good to him. Turned into an alien.

"Well, my grandfather got put into a nursing home when I was younger cause they say he went crazy." Kyle replied when she said he was a bit crazy. He probably was, he often wondered if he was crazy, not just a bit, but full on crazy. He nodded, maybe someday, it was a nice thought that he could meet someone that didn't care his hands were able to produce their own magical fireworks show any time he got worked up. Surely someone, somewhere wouldn't mind that right? It was a comforting thought, but it felt like looking for a needle in a pile of needles.

"Ok, I will just leave, how bout 6 tickets for you? That way if that is to many they can just turn around and try to sell the rest." Kyle told her, he read between the lines though, especially at the awkward laugh. He didn't mean to make her feel uncomfortable, but now, deep down inside, he knew that she was taken. Deciding not to dwell on the fact that whoever she had was a lucky guy, or girl very long, he decided to ask her another question. "What kinds of friends? Humans, vampirs, others?" Kyle asked, wanting to know what else might be out there.

She then asked him if he remembered who the witch was. "Yeah, her name is Willow. We didn't exchange last names, but she is really nice, I swear you don't have to stop her like you did the vampires. She wouldn't hurt a fly, well she would hurt a frog cause she doesn't like them." Kyle told Sarah, hopping that Sarah wouldn't want Willow dead, but they were both nice people and they would probably get along should they meet and Kyle wasn't to worried about it, but still, it seemed Sarah hunted things in the night and he wasn't sure if witches were on her radar.

"You think she is telling the truth? That she really is a witch? That would be so cool." Kyle told her, he believed her, but then again, he was probably crazy, so it would be nice to have outside confirmation that she is telling the truth and that she really is a witch." What else could be real then, if she is a witch, the things tonight were vampires and you hunt them, then there must be more out there, right?" Kyle asked her, maybe he was crazy, but if he was gonna find 'someone like him', then maybe there was a species of human hybrids out there that would accept him for him.

Notes: Tis OK

"Well, yeah, I haven't seen her in 5 years and she has a few best friends." Kyle said when she asked what he meant by basically. He knew she still considered him a really really good friend, but it was just hard to think that way when you haven't seen each other in 5 years and when you did see her last, she had to get called away and you couldn't catch up completely. He made a mental note to have a real catch up and talk day. They really needed it, all things considered, he wanted her to consider him her best friend again and vice versa.

"Well, we grew up in the same town, so we knew each other for a long time, but we became boyfriend and girlfriend 7 years ago and then just friends about a half year later. So its a long story." Kyle told her when she asked how long they have been friends. It really was a complicated answer but that is how it basically went down. He wished everything was simple, but it never really was, and he guessed that was because of the aliens, but also because of himself and the choices he made. It was never gonna be just a simple life and he accepted that.

"A lot I would imagine." Kyle said looking up at the stars as a sort of reflex. There was so much out there that he didn't and will probably never understand, and he somehow accepted that as well, didn't mean he had to like it, but he knew that there was nothing he could do about it, not right now anyways. What was worse, as he knew that some of what was out there might not like him that much because of what he was. He wondered if he would be considered a mutt or something. Like in Harry Potter, they didn't like half bloods and dirty bloods. Would other aliens reject him cause he was born human?

"It would just be nice if I could learn to control it." Kyle told her. She did have a point about making more friends, though he was unsure he could trust, and she had even more good points that he hadn't hurt her yet and now that its been awhile then, that meant that he was unlikely to hurt her. He would never hurt her on purpose, but on accident he might, and accidents could happen at any time. That was the problem. Control meant no accidents, which meant Kyle would be able to live without fear of hurting someone else. He didn't have that yet.

"I know, but it comes with the territory. My dad felt the same way I did, fearing that he would go crazy too." Kyle told her, sure it didn't mean he would, but the fear was there. One more thing that he couldn't control and wanted to so badly. Then again, his grandfather wasn't really crazy, aliens were real after all, so he didn't really go crazy, he just got old and accepted what everyone said about him being a crazy old guy. For some reason, ending up like his grandpa was scarier then ending up alone forever.

"Wow, that is a real melting pot of beings." Kyle told her when she listed what she had for friends. The hunter part bothered him. What did he hunt? Vampires, werewolfs? Would he want to hunt an alien if he found one? This made Kyle a little nervous, but she didn't want to kill him, so maybe her boyfriend wouldn't either. "I'd hate to be at that table for thanksgiving. You all must fight constantly." Kyle told her, not really knowing how things worked, if all these different people actually got along really well or not, he was ignorant on the subject.

"So that means you won't want to hunt me if I told you what I was? Would you keep it a secret?" Kyle told her, admitting that he did know exactly what he was, but he was to scared to tell her. She said she didn't hunt people that were not doing anything bad. But it was a big secret and he didn't know if it was ok to tell her. Even if he did what if she told the wrong person? "You know Willow?" Kyle said, that made him feel more comfortable, as Willow was really nice, and he almost told her, but he was scared she might get hurt if she knew the truth.

"Yeah I get that feeling that cemeteries being scary is not just a kids imagination anymore." Kyle told her matter of factly. He did want to tell someone, just to see what happens, and it seemed she could handle herself if things got bad, so he didn't fear for her life, but the trust thing was still there as well as the fact he knew some of the others, mainly Max and Michael, would probably freak out. It was a tough decision and he wished he could ask them what they would do, but he knew their answer would be to keep his mouth shut anyways.
