It was a normal lazy Sunday for Ikkun, Toshi, and Kazu. Kazu was lying on the couch. The television was on, but he was more focused on the ceiling than the television. Ikkun was sitting on the adjacent sofa, pillow tucked between his chest and knees. He seemed to be staring intently at a random patch of space as if there was something actually there. Toshi was sitting in the armchair, trying to draw something, but nothing came to mind. All she had on the piece of paper in her hand was several sketched out lines that formed nothing.

“I never knew people could die of boredom,” Kazu muttered, rolling onto his side. “Man, there is nothing to do today.”

“We could, like, summon some daemon to play around with,” Ikkun muttered. “Bleh, I’m too bored to even eat anything.”

“Good, I JUST restocked the pantry,” Toshi grumbled as she laid down her pencil and clipboard. “I don’t enjoy these constant visits to the supermarket because you think it’s a good idea to use Behemoth to consume copious amounts of food.”

“Don’t be like that,” Ikkun yawned. Just to alleviate a tiny bit of boredom, they all summoned a daemon into their spirit. Kazu suddenly had blue hair and olive-green eyes, a small blue gem appearing just below his neck. Ikkun’s eyes turned green and dragon-like, two dragon horns protruded from his head. Toshi suddenly had brown hair and a mask on the side of her face. A katana vibrating with energy was on the window sill next to her.

“The world seems so dull when you can turn into powerful spirits,” Ikkun said lazily. He got up and stretched, a set of dragon wings popping up on his back.

“Is it really?” Kazu grinned, sitting up. He shut off the TV and leaped up. “I’m sure we could find something interesting thing to do.”

“I have an idea,” Toshi said, pulling a phone out of her pocket. “I just hope he has time …”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">--1 Hour Later--

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“Come on Toshi, tell us who you called!” Kazu whined. He had released Canopus already so he looked like his normal self. Ikkun and I want to know.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">   “What are you talking about Kazu,” Ikkun grumbled. Ikkun still had his dragon eyes and horns, but lost the wings. “You’re the one begging for information, not me.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“I think you should lose the dragon horns Ikkun,” Toshi said. “I only invited a friend and he doesn’t know of our ability.”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“Fine, fine,” Ikkun conded, shedding of Diamond Dragon’s properties. “When is your friend coming anyway?” Right as Ikkun said this, the doorbell rang.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“Speak of the devil and the devil appears,” Kazu grinned as Toshi went to get the door. Ikkun and Kazu jumped when they heard the sound of a tiger roaring. They stared at the door entrance where Toshi was leading a kid with a tiger behind him into their home.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“Kazu, Ikkun, meet Ren a good friend of mine,” Toshi introduced. “Ren meet Ikkun and Kazu. Despite how idiotic they can be at times, they’re close friends of mine.” Kazu waved hello, while Ikkun refrained from doing anything.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“Hi there,” Ren greeted cheerfully. “My name’s Ren. I’m an animal tamer specializing in tiger. This is my pet Yakumo. Say ‘hi’ Yakumo!” The tiger roared a greeting, scaring Kazu a bit.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“So, what can you do with the tiger?” Ikkun asked. He wasn’t even looking at the duo that came in. He also completely disregarded Toshi’s warning and was sporting white hair, canines, and horns.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">He does want to die! ''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> Toshi thought, mentally reminding herself to stab Ikkun once today.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“Wow cool horns,” Ren said. “Are they real?”

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“Oh course they are,” Ikkun grumbled, tugging on a horn to prove it was attached to his head.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“That is so amazing,” Ren shouted as he ran over to yank on Ikkun’s horns.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“Ow that hurts!” Ikkun complained, trying to get Ren off his head. “Get off!” At that moment, Yakumo provided the distraction that Ikkun needed. He leapt on top Kazu.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“GAH!” Kazu shouted as 200 pounds of tiger leapt on him. The tiger roar, showing of its impressive teeth before lunging at Kazu’s face.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“Yakumo! What are you doing!” Ren shouted. Toshi was watching with a look of bemused, while Ikkun was trying to suppress his laughter. Yakumo was busy licking Kazu, who was trying to fend off the tiger’s attacks.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“I’m not surprised,” Ikkun snickered, trying, but unsuccessfully to keep a straight face.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“Eh, you know why Yakumo is acting like this?” Ren asked. Alarms suddenly blared in Toshi’s head.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“Yea, it’s because Kazu attracts all the guys,” Ikkun said. “He enjoys –OMPH!” Suddenly a large dragon plushie slammed into Ikkun’s face, followed by several other gigantic plushies. Ren turned around to see Toshi suddenly hugging a giant box filled with stuffed animals. She had orange hair and a panda hat on as well.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">“You don’t need to know,” Toshi smiled at Ren. “Come, I’ll take you on a tour of the house.”
