The Fallen Slayer {1}

Triangle

"That's five." 

Buffy taunted as she flipped Jeremy onto his back for the fifth time. As he hit the matt with a loud thud and groaned in pain, Buffy couldn't help but snort. She had definitely knocked that teenage cocky attitude right out of him.

With only one more Gilbert standing, Buffy turned on the balls of her feet to face Elena, who unlike Buffy was drenched in sweat and completely exhausted.

Smirking Buffy playfully wiggled her fingers at Elena, challenging her "Bring it on little Cousin."

Rolling her eyes at her cousin's playful teasing, Elena hid her own amused grin before swinging her leg out at Buffy. 

Buffy quickly ducked under the brunette's leg before sending a kick towards Elena's chest. 

Blocking Buffy's leg with her arm, Elena shoved the blonde's ankle away from her before swinging her fist out. However, ever the graceful fighter, Buffy caught Elena's fist in her palm before twisting into a side aerial sending Elena flying straight to the ground while Buffy landed softly on the balls of her feet.

Smirking down at her two cousins, who were a mess of sweat and heavy breathing, Buffy chuckled as she stood over them "You guys really suck at this."

From his place on the ground, Jeremy couldn't help but glare up at her "You have super-strength!"

"I was holding back. Plus, you wanted to know how to fight vampires, so don't complain. Me knocking you on your ass...repeatedly may I add...is teaching you."

Too exhausted and sore to continue, Elena dropped her head completely onto the matt, her entire body aching. 

She was officially surrendering. 

"I can't feel anything."

"Must you continue to take enjoyment at this moment, Buffy?" 

At the sound of her Watcher's disapproving voice, Buffy stifled her laughter before turning to glance at Giles. Spotting the frustrated look on his face, Buffy turned back to look down at her exhausted cousins. 

This sight was definitely worth the lecture she would get off Giles later. 

"Yes."

Giles simply sighed before placing on his focus pads hoping to draw the Slayer's energy off her barely moving family members. 

"Well, as your cousins seem to be unable to move at the moment, may we return to your training?"

Pouting in slight disappointment, Buffy reluctantly moved away from her cousins making her way over to her Watcher. 

No more fun.

She had to do her proper Slayer training.

"Fine."

Circling around the room in sync with each other, Buffy continued to swing her fists at the pads on Giles's hands, trying to keep her mind focused on the task at hand.
