Let's Hunt Some Demons

"Two."

--------------------------------------------------

"How old are you dear?"

"I'm almost seventeen."

"Just old enough for our special meal discount!"

Emi hummed in response before ordering a small bowl of rice and some soup.

"Man that was some good beef!"

"Hey look it's me again!" Natsu exclaimed.

Emi sat quietly as she ate her small meal when she was approached by the boy she had recognized from the past.

"Hey you!"

Emi turned towards the boy with the scarf and asked what he wanted.

"You're that dude from before? Why're you still wearing a cloak?"

Emi smiled to herself before using one of Cain's excuses, saying bluntly, "Dog ate all my clothes."

"That has got to be the lamest excuse ever!" Happy interjections.

Cain turned towards the blue exceed before saying that it was, in fact, a great excuse and that he had used it many times before. Happy just shrugged at the demon.

"Wait. Weren't you a dude last time? Why don't you sound like a dude."

"I'm the one who was traveling with the dude."

Natsu and Happy continued to stare at the cloaked Emi, making the girl nervous.

"Um, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Are you going to eat that?" Natsu asked as he pointed to the rice.

"Yes!"

Natsu looked defeated as he gave a sad "oh okay" and walked away.

"Wow Natsu, that's kind of pathetic," Gray stated.

"Shut up, popsicle!"

"What did you just call me?!"

Cain coughed to draw attention to himself.

"Just remember you two, ice will always melt to my fire, and my flames can overwhelm a dragon's fiery breath."

The two immediately stopped arguing to face a smirking Cain.

"Wow, Erza," Mira giggled, "looks like you have competition to see who can keep the two in line."

--------------------------------------------

"Bow down before me, human! For I am the last one you'll see!"

"Shut it, Greed. We're supposed to take her out QUIETLY."

Emi stepped out from the forest, cracking her knuckles,

"Greed and Gluttony. It's about time."

"We heard you took care of our friends Envy and Lust, so we decided to come here together out of curiosity."

"Fine by me."

"Let me take care of her myself, Gluttony."

"You just want to take all the credit with the boss. Don't be too greedy."

"Tsunami!"

Both Sins jumped back in shock as a huge burst of water came out of nowhere.
