"Don't take this the wrong way, but you might need this," Buffy said, handing a cross to Leila as the vampires approached.

The Tunisian Slayer frowned. "What for?"

"Crosses repel vampires. I don't know if it's because it's a religious symbol or what, but they do. Just hold it up - "

Leila leapt at the first vampire and swiped at him with her scimitar. The second the blade touched his neck, he dusted.

"...or you could do that," Buffy nodded.

Leila held up the crescent-shaped blade and smiled. "Allahu Akbar."

Then Rebekah took out the rest with her six-pointed shuriken.

Nice to see Jewish and Muslim Slayers working together in harmony. :) Although if curved-bladed swords act as Islamic crescents, wouldn't a straight-bladed sword with a straight hilt work as a cross, and dust vampires on contact as well?

Thanks!

Maybe it's inscribed with the Shahadah? Or maybe it's just really sharp and cuts vampires' heads off quicker than the eye can see? /self-fanwank leaving all doors open
