Tohru and Elma were both sitting in the bathtub, silently staring at each other with intense hatred and malice. The water was starting to turn pink from the blood, and their scratches were starting to heal. Both their heads were partially submerged in the water. Finally, Tohru lifted her head and spoke.
"Fishface."
"Again with the name-calling? We both know this is your fault!"
"My fault? You interrupted the spell!"
"No way! If anything, it's Kobayashi's fault we're like this. She didn't tell us about the weird friendship spell!"
"You take that back. Kobayashi had nothing to do with this!"
"I'll talk about her how I want! It's still her fault, anyway."
Tohru lifted her dragon claw to strike her again, but then dropped it in the water, creating a small splash beside her. Miss Kobayashi would not approve, especially not now. I sure hope Shota can fix this. She looked back at Elma. Elma stuck her tongue out at her, like the mature dragon she was. Tohru sighed, and dipped her head under the surface of the bath water. Elma did the same. How am I going to take care of Miss Kobayashi when I can't even handle my other half, thought Tohru. How am I gonna go to work and get money for treats if Tohru's stuck to me, thought Elma. Both dragons were laying on the floor of the bathtub. The bath water was becoming a darker red, and it was harder to see through.
Tohru got up and looked at the clock. It was almost dinnertime. She could smell the omurice she made yesterday on the table. Elma smelled it too.
"Oh, I'm so hungry. All I had to eat today was your crappy pancakes."
Tohru stared at her angrily. She wanted to make a snappy remark back at her, but she was hungry, too. She shifted her side of the body up.
"Gimme that soap. Let's get this over with."
Tohru started rubbing her body with the soap bar, creating little pinkish-red bubbles on the surface of the water. Miss Kobayashi never touches me like this, she thought. And I don't want her touching me with fishface attached to me. She then started rubbing Elma's side.
"Hey! Don't touch me like that! Gimme the soap, I can do it myself."
"Hurry up, then."
Elma started lathering her side of the body while Tohru waited impatiently. After she was done, they both rinsed themselves off in the blood water and crawled out of the bathtub. They landed on the bathroom mat, face-up and dripping wet.
"Now what, Tohru?"
"Get our towels, shit-for-brains."
"Ok! You don't need to call me shit-for-brains, you dumbass."
The towels were hanging on the towel rack, on the opposite wall to the bathtub. Elma made a weak attempt to reach for it.
"I can't reach it."
"Then get up."
"You get up!"
They knew they both needed to get up to reach the towels. Tohru shifted her body toward the bathtub and pushed against it, causing the bathroom mat they were on to slide to the other wall. Tohru then propped herself up on the mat.
"Hey Elma, you hear that?"
"Uh, no."
"Me neither, start climbing."
Elma put her hands on the tiled wall and slowly started making her way up it. The towels were right there. She grabbed them both. Then, the bathroom mat slipped under their weight, causing Elma and her huge chest to fall on the cold tiled floor with a wet shlap.
"Oof, um, got the towels."
Tohru snatched one from Elma's hand, and they dried themselves off. They wrapped their towels around themselves. Now they needed to leave the bathroom. They weren't gonna crawl on all fours, they had just taken a shower. Tohru grabbed some nearby slippers and handed them to Elma.
"Here. We're gonna try walking upright. You be on the bottom."
"What? Why do I have to be on the bottom?"
"Suck it up! We can switch later."
Elma put the slippers on her hands. Tohru started climbing up a nearby sink, using the drawer handles as supports.
"Ok, put your hands on the floor now and keep pushing."
"Alright, I'm doing it!"
Elma kept pushing until they were upright. Tohru was still holding onto the sink for balance.
"Ok, ok, hold it steady…"
Tohru slowly let go of the sink. Both of them were standing upright, with Elma as the legs. She was struggling a bit to stay like this. Sure, dragons were strong, but they were also really heavy.
"Ok, now walk towards the door."
"Ngh! Trying!"
Elma took a step forward with her arm. It was weird seeing upside down. Walking forward was a lot trickier than just standing up. Elma kept moving forward, with Tohru using her arms for balance. They finally made it to the bathroom door. Tohru swung it open.
Kobayashi and Kanna were already eating the omurice. There were two more plates for Tohru and Elma.
"Oh, took you long enough. Come on, I heated up some omurice for you. How was it?"
"Pretty hard, actually."
Suddenly, Elma's towel fell down toward her face, revealing her breasts. Kobayashi covered Kanna's eyes with her hand.
"Alright, let's sit down, then."
"Wait! I can't see! AAH!"
They had made it a few steps before losing balance. Luckily, Tohru caught the table before they fell. They slowly maneuvered themselves onto their chairs. They were laying on their side, on top of two chairs put together.
"How am I supposed to go into work like this?"
"We'll figure something out. Just eat your dinner first."
"I don't know how we can keep this up."
"Just stick to it. I'm sure you'll figure it out."
Easy for her to say. She wasn't the one conjoined to her mortal enemy. They dug into the omurice. It was ice cold.
Shota and Lucoa had finished cleaning up his bedroom. The pentagram was swept away and candles were put up on a shelf. Shota was looking through several books, looking for something that could possibly work.
"No, not here, that won't work, I don't have that, I-ew, gross."
"Find anything yet?"
"No luck here. We're gonna have to wait until the library opens tomorrow and check with them again. The book might be there by then."
"Well, we can only hope so. Now let's get ready for bed, it's been a long day."
"I'm not gonna sleep with you, if that's what you're implying."
Shota went off to take a shower. Lucoa looked out the window. It was pretty much nighttime. I sure hope those two animals are doing ok. At the very least, this'll be fun to watch!
