She was heading over to the lounge room when she caught her sister peeking out of a window in the front room. Zee was of course in her usual sleepwear, which was...nothing at all.
"Zee? Sweetie? Why in the world are you up so early?"
Zee turned with a scowl, "I got a lot on my mind. ...why the hell do you have a plushie on your head?"
"Wolven slept in my bed with me."
"I didn't know you went that way, Tina."
"You and I both know that him sleeping in my bed is the same as a frightened child sleeping with his mother."
"Says you."
"...I...must ask. Is there any particular reason as to why you are walking around in the nude?"
"You know I hate clothing. I'm not streakin' in public for once, and you're still harpin' on me. Give me a break!"
"Give me, and this house some respect. Now go make yourself decent!"
"Decency is for chumps!"
"Zeneeba...Pyra..."
"...Fine. I'll go before you go 'Tinaga' on me." Zee growls, before taking off down the halls on all four.
Tina tapped her chin, "...Tinaga...I assume she means my naga form..."
A smile slowly spreads on her face, "I like that..."
The ring of the doorbell snapped Tina out of her daydream, and slowly answered the door, timidly greeting the person on the other side.
Her greeting was quickly cut off by her own screaming as her eyes met with the eyes of a decapitated head. She fell backward onto the floor, and looked up, only to see a dark figure holding the head that had frightened her. As the figure pulled it's hood back, it turned out to be Raymond, the demon that she had met as they were leaving the prom.
"Did I... frighten you? I'm terribly sorry about that... This creep was stalking your home. He had weapons on him. I thought he was going to attack..."
Zee came running into the front room. During the time she was gone, she only had enough time to put on a pair of black pants, though her neck fur hung down just far enough to cover her chest.
"Tina?! What happened!? Were we hit a...gain...um...Ray...Hey man."
Raymond turned toward Zee, and blushed slightly, trying his best not to look away from her face. "Good...morning, um...what..was your name again?"
Tina sighed, "I'm Tina, and this is Zee."
Zee grinned,"So are you gonna introduce me to your friend here, Ray?"
Raymond only grinned, "This man had stationed himself outside of your home, stocked up on camping supplies, rations, and weapons."
Both Tina and Zee sighed and rolled their eyes.
"Oh my...another slayer. And here I thought we had seen the last of them."
Zee growls, "Yeah...we get that a lot actually. It's been weeks since we had another one, though."
"There are...men..? After you?"
Tina nodded, "At first, it seemed as though they were only interested in our hides."
"Your hides?" Raymond questioned.
"You know, our fur." Zee growled, "But I wasn't havin' that, so I started...snackin'...at the town these hunters were coming from."
"In retaliation, they hired and trained slayers to not only end my sister's abductions, but to end us as well."
Zee smiled, "So we're kinda popular in this area, either they love us, or hate us."
Raymond nodded, "I see...Maybe I could look into the matter for you ladies?"
"No offense, hun, but...I don't think they're gonna wanna talk to a guy with weird marks, big ears, and one horn stickin' out the side of his head." Zee grinned.
Raymond looked down, "I guess...I did...you know...take that into account though..."
Tina looked toward her sister, ready to give her yet another lecture. Before she could, Zee did something she didn't expect her to do. Apologize.
"Look...Ray, I didn't mean it. I mean...The marks look like...you know...awesome tattoos. Ya know? And the ears...well.They're actually kinda cute... The horn, though..."
"I know...It's a deformity."
"It's cute..."
Raymond smiled, and Zee could only return the smile. Tina cleared her throat in an attempt to get their attention.
Raymond shook his head and retreated out the front door, "Let me get this thing outta here. No need to drop blood on the carpets, right?"
Zee grinned, ready to follow, until Tina growled, "Not so fast. Go put something on your feet. And your torso."

Zapook was going through her books, frantically looking through them all.
Onima had two energy drinks in her head as she made her way into Zapook's lab.
"Pookie! I got you a Red Bino."
Zapook turned, growling at Onima. Her hair was more ruffled than usual, and instead of being it's normal solid green color, there was patches of black here and there. One of her eyes had turned slightly red, the pupil in that same eye had turned yellow. Black fur grew in patches all over her skin, as well as on her face and ears. Her voice, instead of sounding like Zee, now had a darker tone to it, growls mixed in.
"Just set it on the side....I need to finish going through these things."
"My...you're looking...um...wilder. I can open it for you, if you want Pookie. ...And pour it in a dog dish if you like! Huh? Dog dish?"
Zapook snarled, "Don't test me...I will rip you apart. And STOP CALLING ME POOKIE!"
"And here I thought I'd be safe around you...Unless you were thirsty that is."
"What are you doing in my room anyway..."
"Bored. Tina's busy...Aussa discovered a new online rpg, and Zee is...Zee....Ekone's out too."
"Oh yeah...How's that going for you anyway?"
"Well..." Onima blushes, giggling, "I try to, you know...spend time with him...He might still like Tina...Do you think he coils around a girl when he does it?"
Zapook slammed her head onto the desk in front of her, smashing her forehead into one of the books.
After a second or two, she slowly pulled away from the book, and cussed under her breath. Onima took a sip of her drink and peeked over Zapook's shoulder. "Oooo...that don't look good."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Girls!!" Zapook roared as she stormed into the lounge room. Tina was in a sun dress, sitting on the couch, and Zee was laying on the floor, now fully dressed.
Just before Zapook could speak, her nose twitched, and she began to glare around the room. "He was hear, wasn't he?"
Tina sighed, "If you mean Raymond, than yes. Although he took his leave over an hour ago."
Zee grinned, "Her look turned to crap, but she gained better senses in exchange."
Zapook growled, "Will you quit it with the stupid remarks?! You idiots let a ******** incubus in here!!"
