The Reinfield

"Sometimes Buffy drives me completely crazy." The redheaded witch said
before flopping down on the bed next to her lover.

"What did she do this time?" Tara asked patiently. Buffy stories could
quickly become long and complicated and always required babble mode. Then
again Buffy stories always had histories that made them complicated were her
lover was concerned, the jealous witch thought. 

"Buffy has been leaving this journal all around the room. First on my desk,
next on the bed. Yesterday in the laundry basket. You would think if she
wanted me to read it, she would just leave it on my desk with a yellow post
it note saying, Will could you take a look at this and tell me what you
think. But no, first she spends two weeks leaving it all over the room so I
keep stubbing my toe or I trip over it. We are all not slayers with
superhero reaction time and mutant slayer healing powers."

Tara seeing babble mode in full swing and not wanting to lose the point of
the story decided she had better step in and ask questions.

"So what did she want you to look at?"

"A slayer's journal."

"Slayer's journal as opposed to a watcher's journals?" Tara asked now even
more interested in the story.

"Yeah, I am surprised the counsel didn't burn it. " Both women had done
enough research in there lives to know what organizations like the counsel
thought of women. It was one of the main reasons why studying witchcraft was
so difficult. Weather it be Sapho's poems or midwife healing spells, women
powered history didn't made it onto the bookshelf that often.

"So what did Buffy want to know?" Tara asked with curiosity.

"That is just it, I don't know. Sure she leaves it out for me to trip over
but will she tell me why, No. Instead she just expects me to be Ms I can
read your mind and.........." 

Tara feeling a headache coming on, leaned over and gentle prided the book
from Willows hands as her reason for living continued on her rant. Turning
the book around Tara was surprised to see it was the journal of Mira Harker.


"Reinfields" Tara said surprised she had not thought of it before.

"What?"

"Sorry Will, it's just, t..th..that' Tara paused to stop her stuttering from
getting worse and to collect her thoughts. <How the hell do you explain
Reinfields to someone that has never seen a Reinfield.>

"Reinfields, Mira Harker was the last Slayer the counsel let use a
Reinfield. Then Mira was probably the last Slayer to reach thirty." Tara
said as way of expiation. 

Tara was still reeling from the thoughts. <The goddess may not like this
turn of events.> she thought . 

"Ok, you are going to explain right." Willow could tell from the look in her
lover's eye that this was something serious.

"I am not sure I can. Before the counsel, when the elders were responsible
for slayers, well the girls weren't really alone. They had all kinds of
help. Witches, seers, priest, scholars. A whole group of people to assist
them. They also had Reinfields. All these people had jobs to do to help the
slayer. The Reinfields were like their personal body servants. Only they
served the slayers bodies literally."

Frustrated Tara continued "It's like when we do spells together and then
afterwards we.." Both Tara and Willow were now both as red as Willow's hair.


"Do the wacky" Willow offered. 

"Well for slayers the whole magic and sex connection thing is like
magnified. Sex is like there total power base. And when they slay all the
magic gets storied up inside of them. They have trouble controlling the
magic, all the energy, there emotions. Reinfields help them to release the
power safely. Filter it. They also take the edge off there anger. You know
all the things you have told me about Faith and how total evil slayer she
was. Well instead of wanting to .... you know .. with or is that too Buffy.
Well she would do it to a Reinfield."

"So a Reinfield is like a sex surrogate or something?" Willow asked still
very confused.

"No Reinfields are Twilight demons. Not really evil but demons. It is so
hard to explain."

"So you think Buffy wants to get Faith a Reinfield? I know Buffy is worried
about Faith being in prison now but ..." Willow couldn't image her best
friend needing such a creature for her own use. 

"Maybe" Tara said out loud. <Or for herself> the blond witch finished to
herself.

Then a freighting thought hit the Tara. What if Buffy doesn't want to get a
Reinfield but already has one. What if the Reinfield is like out of control
and that is why she wants Willow to read the journal. I have to speak to the
goddess tonight the witch concluded.
