来る can be an auxiliary verb. くる, きます, etc. I think it means to do something and "come back," like "I'll go buy this thing and come back here to give it to you." I've heard some people say it means the verb persists in the future, though.

Have you ever seen the set phrase いってきます? Said when leaving? That's the same auxiliary くる.

This verb has me stumped.
たけしさんにお土産を買ってきますよ。
I am stumped by きます at the end of this sentence. It seems to be the verb "to come," but I don't understand how that fits with the te-form of "to buy". The translation of the sentence given is "I'll buy some souvenir for you," which is said by the person talking to Takeshi.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
