The Demon Slayers

Authors Note: I may get back to my stories, I apologize for being away. 

Pulling her legs into her chest, the pillow folded, crumbs from a Pocky collapsing into the creases. "A demon was reported to be seen walking through the alleyways earlier this afternoon! The group calling themselves the Demon Slayers took action! They were reported to be seen disappearing as the demon disintegrated!" The woman went on, looking almost excited by the Demon Slayers appearance. ..The Demon Slayers. A group recently made known to the world by the resurgence of demons. But the reports weren't made to focus on the demons themselves, rather the demon slayers identities as a whole. They'd slip away from the scene before anyone could grasp a clear shot of their faces. And no one has ever seen them physically, only some who began recording the disintegrating image of a demon. And that's all they had to go on, reusing those videos and newer ones to report the news. Or in their terms, newest kills. As much as they knew, there were demons, and there were people designed to kill them. That's all that's been reported for days, weeks even. "Boriiing~" Kugu whined, setting aside the remote and resting her head on her knees. Shutting her eyes and slumping back into the couch. "when are we ever gonna get something new~.." She pressed a Pocky to her lip, barely placing it in her mouth and letting it hang there. The girl grumbling as she slowly munched on it.

"Someone's reported that they've got a clear image of a member from the group we call the demon slayers!" Her motions stopped, her unfocused mind stopped, watching in anticipation. "Just in with the recent image-" The woman motioned her hand to the screen, an image fading in. Kugu peered, smiling widely. Her hands clapping together, shimmers of excitment twinkling throughout her eyes. "Whaaa~ They'd be such an interesting puppet~!" With a wider smile, she pushed herself from the couch, twirling around the coffee table and turning. Twisting around herself. Reaching her arms out to her sides and humming a small, happy tune while she did so. "Puppet~ puppet~ puppet~ puppet~!" She repeated between hums, pausing before the screen, she stood with her arms outstretched, her wide smile never leaving her face. "My~ will you let me make you my puppet~?" The image grew close in her vision, pressing against the screen. An index finger twisting around in a circle. "You've killed so many of my puppets~ I can't help but want to make you mine now~" Drool seeped from the edges of her mouth, spilling out like the water overflowing from a sink. "mine~ mine~ mine~" Kugu sung to no one but herself and the unresponsive screen. Lost within the idea of taking another slayer for her own purposes. "mine~" She repeated. "Minee~" Releasing a sigh, her eyes shut closed. The side of her face pressing to the screen, as if to force herself inside it. "Tell me slayer~.. will you be minee~?" But of course, no answer could be given. Seperating herself from the screen and stumbling back, watching the image fade. Kugu smiled, and turned, slumping over with a sigh. "But it's so boriiing seeing my poor puppets get killed~ How sad.. how saaad~.." She repeated, standing up straighter. Reaching out a string and pulling the Pocky box in her direction, grasping it and stuffing her hand inside. "But~ I can always make more~" - "Make more? Did they kill another puppet of yours?" Kugu nodded, thrusting her hands towards her sister. "Buut~ They took the puppet with them.. seems they're interested in us already~" The other kept quiet, reaching the side of the couch and collapsing into it. "Make sure no more get destroyed.." - "I know Tsu~" Softly laughing, she swung her oppisite arm with her oppisite leg. Humming. "Kugu." She paused. Her happy tone dropping as soon as she paused, looking over her shoulder to view Tsu. "I told you not to eat anymore of those." Tsu leaned, supporting her elbows on the back of the couch. Kugutsu brought a Pocky to her lip, not answering  her unless you counted the slight sound of a Pocky being broken apart and chewed on. "There's more in the cupboard."

Tsu sighed, her head lowering. Collapsing against the couch, grasping the remote and switching the channel. "Just don't eat anymore for the night." Kugu smiled, stuffing the rectangular box in her hoodies pocket. "My~" Kugu smiled, her fingertips pressing together. "What is it?" She giggled, leaning against the back of the couch. "The sun creeps out from behind the horizon~ I can't collect any puppets at the moment~" Shifting her gaze to the window, Tsu sat up from the couch. Reaching the windows, grasping the blinds, and forcing the room to be shrouded in darkness. "I've told you before Kugu, don't leaves these windows open. You forget what happens once sunlight touches you." Covering her smile with her sleeve, she giggled. "Fine fiiine~ I'll keep them closed, dear sister~" 

Tsu released a sigh, coming away from the window. "Top left." Kugu mentioned, Tsu passing her, stepping into the kitchen and searching for, what Kugu assumed to be the Pocky cupboard. "Rid the world of demons will you?" A smile crept up her face, growing wide. Seeming to smirk in the direction of the TV screen. "will you kill me~?" Bringing her hands up to her shoulders, her head leaned. Twirling away from the screen. "oohh~ I'd love for you to be mine~" Her excitement quickly drooping like her arms once they dropped from her shoulders. "Oh.. I'd love to keep you puppets~" Kugu finished her Pocky, bringing her legs closer, peering at the screen with wide eyes. "Don't 'play', you know we aren't here to mess with-" - "but we are!" She protested, puffing out a cheek. "we are! we are! we are!" Her arms waved, thrusting her fists into her hips. Leaning forward to repremand her sister. "We're no-" - "I want a slayer to be mine! mine! mine! mine!" - "k-" But there wasn't any point in interjecting, Tsu watching her sister stomp like a child. Throwing a tantrum in the middle of the grocery store. "Kug-" - "I want a slayer to be mine!" With a sigh, Tsu nodded. Waving a hand to wave her off. Trying what she could to ignore her tantrum. "You're not a child Kugu, if you want a slayer.. I'll.. let you have one." As quickly as she grew angry, she quickly grew happy. Smiling widely, giggling. "dear puppet~" Pressing her fingertips together. "tell me.." Kugu paused between steps. Looking over her shoulder to look at Tsu. "Mm~?" - "What do you plan to do..?" For a moment, there wasn't a response. Or any movement. Her eyes merely staring into her sisters. "my~" Kugu went on. Facing away from her. "heh~" Once more, she turned, pressing an index finger to the side of her lips. "not even I can tell you something like thaat~" With a hop in her step, she disappeared into her room. 

"A slayer of my own~ myy~ I've love my dear puppet~"
