This is the second chapter for the story. Got positive remarks so I'll give it a continue and hopefully get it going on more interesting. Here it'll give a bit more reasoning to Toph's role and the role for Sokka to play in her visit.
Sokka groans and wakes up. Rubbing his head, he finds himself on the couch of his living room, not to mention hearing a ruckus in the kitchen. He sits upright and rubs his head, covering his face. Last thing he saw was Toph holding a severed hand in her mouth after pulling or tearing it off the man a ways down. He was convinced now cause there's no way that sort of thing could be a trick. The ball return machines at the bowling alley didn't connect to each other, only the lanes they belong to. It's also not possible to rip off someones hand from distant machines due to the distance off them. Boy, he needed to stop thinking and except facts. He was living with a demon. A punk, bratty, monstrous girl that was a demon. Boy, he was also in a hell lot of trouble to come.
Right then, the girl comes in and sets something on the small table before him and sits next to him on the couch. Sokka removes his hands from his face and sees that it's a cup of tea sitting before him. He turns to his right to face the girl who was picking her nose with her pinkie. He was pretty much surprised. For one, this girl just did something for him, despite the fact it was probably a poisoned cup. For two, how she even made it with her eyes covered didn't make since. You can't see things by feeling them after all. Like trying to feel the difference between milk and juice, there's none in terms of touch.
"Oi, relax, shut up, and drink it already. I know what I'm doing, I don't have to see like you humans do to know what's what." she orders him
Sokka grumbles and takes the cup, sipping it and being shocked at the nice flavor to it. "You know, you could be nicer. You did something unexpected so how was I supposed to not pass out." he asks.
Toph sighs. "Oi, what did you expect? Just be glad they postponed that meeting. They're going to discuss it with you later when you're 'better'. Besides, I should be the one being grumpy, having to carry you home while no one saw. Such a hassle"
Sokka blinks. That didn't make since. Unless.... "Wait... am I the only one that can see you and basically acknowledge that you exist?" he asks, curious.
Toph nods. "If anyone else sees me moving things around, they'll think it's a ghost or something. Fact is, I'm your personal demon and you're my tie to this world. Without you, I can't exist here so it'll be a pain to me if you get hurt or something. Don't think I chose you, you just happened to be the person I got stuck too" she explains. She takes an apple off from the small table in front of them and bites into it, grinning. "Impressive." she cheeps, continuing to eat it, even eating the core of the apple with the stem, not leaving anything behind.
"Oi, why are you here then? You said you wanted to find a new interest." Sokka remembered that much. That's what she said when they started earlier. Toph nods, eating another apple thoroughly. "I got bored in my home turf so I wanted to see what there was to do here. And for that I needed to be attached to a human cause demons need a human post to stay here or they'll be pulled back into the demon world." she sighs and chuckles. "The human world as nice apples. They're... how so say... Juicy? That's it, they're juicy."
Sokka sips his tea again, not sure what to believe of her but he'll go along with it for now. A false story is better then being left in the dark. "So, what's the demon world like?" He asks.
Toph shrugs. "Not much different, sort of the old school style that this human world used to have. We use demon animals for working and transportation and lack all this advanced technology stuff, not to mention being spiritual we don't follow all the limits you humans have so things like eating and sleeping are more optional then a necessity. Most demons do what they want since there isn't a need for working so a lot will come to the human world for fun."
Sokka sighs. "So, you're looking for fun here and I have to be your 'guide' in this world eh? So, am I able to see other demons as well?"
Toph nods. "More then that but I'll explain more when the times come. No good explaining something without showing what you're talking about. I'll also admit now that for the most part I'm only seen by you but I can be seen by other people that own demons or if I let myself, I'll be seen by humans. Course, I'm not going to tell you when other demons are in the area, you'll have to find out yourself."
Sokka blinks. "Why?"
Toph grins. "Because it's more interesting that way."
Sokka thinks everything that was said over. "So, you're not going to harm me directly since you need me live and well to stay here and as such despite being a demon, you'll be my guardian as well if what you said is true." he concludes.
Toph smirks. "You're pretty smart."
Sokka smiles. "Thanks. By the way, I'm called Sokka Rostle"
Toph chuckles. "Rostle eh? Toph is fine to call me by but if you must know my real name is Tsuphospera. Toph is easier for humans to remember though."
"I can figure." Sokka stands up and goes into the kitchen, finding it clean to his surprise. "Ok, I was expecting some mess when you were making me the tea. By the way, what did you use?" he was wondering about that.
Toph enters the kitchen and pulls out a small can from the garbage, making Sokka freak. "That's my girlfriend's favorite tea!" he exclaims. Toph blinks at him or she would if her eyes weren't covered. "You have a girlfriend?" she asks. Sokka grumbles. "Not the point. She loves this tea and she's a monster if she doesn't get this tea when she wants it so I always make sure to have it in case she visits."
Toph shrugs. "Then go get more. I also want more of them apples you have." she starts searching the cabinets. Sokka grumbles, now seeing how she was tormenting him this time. She could've have known about the girlfriend bit but knew that using that tea would annoy him.
"I thought you said demons didn't need to eat?" Sokka asks.
Toph stops her rummaging and faces Sokka. "True but we can still taste things and those apples from before tasted very good, shocked human food is so delicious." she says.
Sokka sighs. Man, this girl was a piece of work.
That's all here. Went into a bit of description on the backstories of the roles in here. Also, let me know if you want to see other characters as demons and what kind. I might consider them. Anyways, read it and comment please!
