Prompt #477 from tamingthemuse- Ascetic

Note: From now on most of my tamingthemuse stories will be named as the challenge.

Note 2: I'm honestly confused by this. I'm sorry if I'm way off.

Buffy, Willow and Giles left Scotland to go to Cleveland to see how Faith and Robin were doing with their slayers. This left Xander and Spike in charge. Neither was happy. Them against a hundred girls? It was a disaster waiting to happen. And it didn't wait long.

Spike and Xander were enjoying a nice quiet dinner in the study, Giles was to never know. It was the only room that didn't have a slayer in it. It wasn't that they didn't like the girls they were actually nice. But there was only so much either could take. Someone was always fighting.

Xander just bit into his sandwich when the yelling starting. He looked over at Spike who had growled and slammed his mug down causing blood to splash on the table. Xander grabbed his napkin and cleaned it up. How was Giles supposed to not know they ate in there if there was a blood stain on the table.

"I'm going to kill the lot of them," Spike threatened as he knocked his chair over.

"Then Buffy would kill you, and I don't want to be dating a pile of dust," Xander said as he stood as well. "We will however be asking Giles for a bonus for dealing with this bullshit. What do we know about girl fights?"

Spike let the way out of the study. "Except for the ones that end in pillow fights?" He smirked at Xander.

"Hey! I told you that in the strict of confidence!" Xander said annoyed. He saw a look on Spike's face. "No blackmailing the boyfriend unless you want to go without sex for a month!"

Spike pouted.

They walked into the living room to see a standoff. "What they bloody hell is going on?!

"She," Stacey said pointing to Jasmine. "Is telling us we have to get rid of all of the TV's, DVD players, phones and computers!"

"I'm not giving up any of that!" Penny said glaring at Jasmine.

Rona crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm not either."

Xander hung his head. Giles had told him that Jasmine had chosen to live an ascetic life because of her Jainism religious beliefs. She lived basically like a hermit before Willow's spell found her. It had taken Giles days to convince her to join them. Jasmine had only been with them for a week and she hadn't gotten along with any other slayer.

"Jasmine, I know it's in your religion to not have material things but there is no way that we can give them up. That doesn't mean you have to use them. I'm sure no one is forcing you to… right?"

Jasmine pointed at Rona. "She is! She keeps hounding me to watch something called 10 Things I Hate About You. She had no respect for my beliefs. It's bad enough that I'm surrounded around this stuff."

Spike and Xander looked at Rona in annoyance. "Rona, you don't like her trying to force you to do something you don't want to do so why are you doing it to her?" Spike had to stop from growling. Women were so annoying. Thank God for Xander. He was never going back to the opposite sex.

"Well, no… but it's crazy not to watch TV!" Rona argued.

Spike and Xander could both see that Jasmine was getting upset. "Rona," Xander growled. "Everyone here has different religions. We are not all the same. Have a little respect."

Rona grumbled and looked at Jasmine. "I'm sorry for trying to make you watch an awesome movie."

Jasmine stormed away.

Next training session Rona was going to suffer Spike decided.

The End
