"I'm gonna kill you!" Faith rushed at Willow only to have Buffy stop her before she could enter the kitchen.
Buffy of course, used a fist.
"Don't ever threaten her in my home" Buffy spoke down at her fellow slayer who was laid out across the floor holding her bleeding nose.
Faith didn't move from the spot, though her butt was cold and she was almost positive she'd scratched it in her landing.
"And put some pants on, My goddess there's 'children' here" Dario smirked walking behind Buffy and into the kitchen.
"I'm going to my room. If you need me just call okay?" Kida stroked Willow's hair once and disappeared through a wall.
"Spiders were a nice touch. I usually go for scorpions myself. But 'hey', your the witch" Dario sat on a stool and faced Willow squarely.
"It was a blatant misuse of magick" Willow said staring straight ahead as she'd been doing since casting the spell.
"Yes it was. But it was fun to watch" Dario looked everywhere but at the redhead "I've never seen 'anyone' get their pants off that fast"
Willow held back the chuckle for as long as she could. It wasn't long "And I missed it"
"I could replay it from memory" Dario smiled as the witch met her eyes for the first time.
"What did you do to her!?!?" Dawn's raised voice carried clearly into the kitchen.
Willow and Dario entered the living room to find Dawn at Faith's side with a comforting hand in her dark silky hair.
"Get away from her Dawn" Buffy growled trying to grab her sister away.
"No. Not until I know what you did to her and why" Dawn glared at her sister stubbornly.
"Nothing she didn't deserve" Buffy growled grabbing and missing once again.
"She's naked from the waist down!" Dawn squealed resting her hand on Faith's bare thigh.
"You really shouldn't touch me there right now Dawnie" Faith said hoarsely. She was having trouble controlling her breathing.
"Huh?" Dawn frowned then noticed Faith hardened nipples and ragged breathing "Oh" she quickly backed away "Sorry"
"I'm not" Faith winked at her.
"Dawn!" Buffy grabbed the girl back roughly "Instead of groping her why don't you find her some clothes"
"Fine, I'll get some of your's. She won't fit mine" Dawn moved to go back upstairs.
"She is 'so' not wearing my clothes" Buffy put her hands on her hips and frowned at her sister.
"She's definitely not wearing mine" Willow added frowning at them all.
"Here" Dario materialized clothes for the dark slayer.
Faith picked up the clothing and frowned "Your kidding me right?"
"Or you could just go naked" Dario vanished in a flash of light.
Willow made her way past Dawn upstairs, with the younger Summer's following shortly.
"Are you gonna wear them or not?" Buffy smirked.
Faith pulled on the soft cotton button-up and pants.
Buffy laughed as she saw exactly why Faith didn't want the clothes.
It was a pair of pyjama's, with little Halloween spiders printed on them.
"You can stay here. I don't like you, but I like that rat-hole of a hotel you used to stay in even less" Buffy pulled some extra sheets out of a closet "And don't thank me"
"Why can't I thank you B?" Faith flipped her hair out of the pyjama collar and gave Buffy her best 'bad ass' look.
"Because 'F'. If you do anything, to my friends or my family. I 'will' kill you this time" Buffy took Faith's gaping silence as her non-violent agreement, and walked away to her room.
Faith stood staring at the spot Buffy had just vacated in rapt surprise "Fuck. Did everyone get a damn backbone, or is it all just me?"
