You're Not the Boss of me…Are you?

"So let me get this straight," Enyo began slowly, leaning on the vacuum. "You want to take our little Eris where?"
Yusuke gave her his best cocky grin, "To the park. Fuzzy things are great for picking up chicks."
Enyo and Themis shared a moment before Themis said, "Look Yusuke, you've been acting funny since yesterday. Is there something wrong with our cat?"
"Well it is blue with three tails," he pointed out.
"So?" the sisters asked in unison.
"Eh…" *sweatdrop*
"The truth is…" Kuwabara began, "We think your cats a demon."
"You idiot!" Yusuke smacked Kuwabara in the head and they began fighting. "You weren't supposed to tell them! They aren't gonna believe us!"
*pulling them apart* "Why wouldn't we believe you" Enyo asked.
"You mean you do?" asked Kuwabara.
Enyo shrugged. "Sure. I just don't know why you think such a sweet kitty is a demon."
Just then the bells to the shop chimed and a pretty girl with blue hair entered, holding an oar. "Because since it's arrival two days ago, two people have been killed. Both drained of blood from what look like cat scratches," she said cheerfully.
"Who are you?" Themis asked.
"My names Botan," she replied, stretching out a hand.
"Enyo."
"Themis."
"So you see, we really need to take your cat into custody for questioning."
Enyo shook her head. "Now that is a little unbelievable."
"I'm sorry," Botan said like she meant it. "But we really need that kitty."
Enyo scooped him up in her arms and said, "Themis, you mind if I bolt a bit early?"
Themis smiled and shook her head. "Meet ya at home."
"Wait just a…" But Enyo wasn't there. It was like one moment she was standing there plain as day, and the next…Botan shook her head. "What just happened?"
"I'm sorry, but we are not going to just let you take Eris until you explain a few things."

Aside:
Themis: This is the part of the story where I tell you a joke.
Enyo: Do you really think they want to hear that joke
Themis: Sure. How do you even know what joke I'm going to tell them?
Enyo: Well I just disappeared. And you always tell that joke to people the first time I disappear!
Themis: It's a good joke okay? *Scowl* Well now we've wasted too much time.
Enyo: Are you going to tell it later?
Themis: If you admit that it's a good joke
Enyo: *crickets chirp*
Themis: Oh let's just go back to the story.

"Don't be afraid," Enyo grunted as Eris dug his claws into her shirt. She walked through Otherside towards their house. Everywhere she walked were double images, like two transparent worlds laid out one on top of the other with the edges blurred. As long as she didn't try to touch anything she could pass through these images with no trouble.
She didn't come out of Otherside until they were safely inside her house. She locked the doors, and carried Eris into the kitchen and sat him down on the counter. She fetched him a piece of chicken and a bowl of milk. While he ate she petted him, letting her fingers run through his silky fur. It really was a strange color.
It wasn't ordinary blue, it was the color of twilight skies, and darker places seemed to come and go like shadows, always in motion. It was almost mesmerizing. Enyo was brought back to herself when Eris stood and bumped her chin with his head.
"You're too sweet a thing to be a demon," she chuckled and carried him to the living room. After some time had passed, Eris stood up and walked over to the door as he had done every night since they brought him home. Without a second thought she let him out, wondering where Themis could be.
She didn't wait much longer, because within half an hour her sister was walking through the door, looking down.
"Where's Eris?" she asked blandly.
"I let him out for the night."
"Look, Enyo, I think they might be right about Eris."
Enyo rolled her eyes. "Well then let's follow him."
Themis shook her head. "I'm not joking."
"Neither am I." She grabbed Themis by the hand and they were suddenly in that blurry Otherside.
"I hate when you do that without telling me," Themis grumbled.
Enyo chuckled and soon they were racing through blur after blur until Enyo spotted what she was looking for. Eris was padding around a dark alley in town near a little family-owned restaurant. It looked innocent enough, but Enyo held up her hand for quiet anyway, and made a gesture for Themis to "look."
Themis nodded and concentrated. After a minute her eye's went wide, and Enyo dragged her a little way off so they could speak.
"Oh wow…He looks…he looks…kinda like a man!" Themis said.
"Hott! Is he cute?"
"Look Enyo, this is no time for shallowness."
*waits*
"Yes he's cute"
"Knew it!" Enyo declared happily. "Okay let's go back in."
They crept closer once more and saw there in the alley a man from the restaurant had offered Eris some food, and was beckoning him forward. Eris came forward cautiously, until he was within reach. Suddenly Eris hissed and lashed out.

Aside:
Enyo: Since when did Eris get an attitude problem?
Themis: *shrug* I don't know he's your cat
Enyo: *scowl* You know what you sound like don't you?
Themis: Don't you say it!
Enyo: *grin*
Themis: Don't you dare!
Enyo: You sound like Mo…*Enyo is put in a chokehold by Themis*
Themis: Eh heh…back to the story… *squeezes*
***
The man yanked his hand back and looked like he was about to throw something when suddenly his body seized, and he fell to the ground unconscious. Eris glided towards him and bent to lap at the wound.
Themis gave Enyo an I told you so look, and Enyo shrugged. She held up her hand for quiet and began walking closer to the cat….demon….thing…whatever. She was about to pick him up unnoticed when she heard someone yell "Spirit Gun!" and had just enough time to duck before the blue light sailed overhead.
She cursed as Eris dodged and fled. She went back to grab Themis' hand and they both reappeared.
"Yusuke Urameshi*, you big screw up!" she shouted. Just then Kuwabara and Botan rounded the corner.
"What happened?" Botan urged.
"This lummox scared the cat…demon…thing…whatever OFF!"
"Me?" Yusuke shouted. "If you had just cooperated sooner this wouldn't have happened!"
"Oh shut up you dolt! Now I have to go and find him!"
"I think first we need to regroup," Botan said calmly.
Themis put a warning hand on Enyo's shoulder that meant, let me take it from here, and she bit her lip.
"Let us explain first." She said calmly. "My sister and I have these special...talents. She can cross into Otherside and be invisible here, and I can see through things…"
"Sort of like a new age x-ray vision?" Botan asked.
"Uh…yea. Anyway, when I 'looked' I saw a man…demon…whatever. So we know you're telling the truth now. So we're gonna help."
"Like hell you are! You just botched everything!" Yusuke shouted.
"Geez, what a temper," Enyo muttered.
"What!?"
Themis shot her a look and she held her hands up in surrender. "We are going to help," she replied sternly. "You cannot stop us."
"Hn….Are you so sure?"
Both girls looked up to see who had spoken.

Me: Oooo New chapter. Its beautiful isn't it? *pets it* except I'm not really that cocky.
Enyo: Yes you are
Themis: Yup
Me: hush you two…I didn't ask you
Themis: So why didn't you let them meet the new characters
Me: Everybody likes a little suspense. Plus they already know anyway…
Enyo: You don't know that
Me: Oh hell…
