A New Demon Clan - Chapter Nine

J. M. Hooks: Thank you so much for all the wonderful reviews! I'm so glad you all like the story!

Anasani sighed, she had been in her room for nearly an hour. She was really surprised that she was alone. I mean, Shendu was in the mansion and wasn't even bothering to come up and annoy her! Now that was something.

Anasani turned over in bed, so that her back was to the doorway.

The black dragon threw her book to the floor. She closed her eyes and she heard a soft click.

Anasani kept still and closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"I know you are not asleep, Anasani." Said a male voice she hadn't heard in a while.

"Hello, father." Anasani said, moving her head a bit to get more comfortable.

"I saw that you found little Nekana. How did those humans treat her?" Shinaso asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Just fine. They seemed to actually love her, but her love lies with a demon." Anasani stated, yawning afterwards.

Shinaso raised an eyebrow at his second-to-youngest daughter.

"A demon? Who?" Shinaso asked and Anasani snickered.

"She'd rip my head off if I told!" Anasani said, finally, sitting up.

"On to other matters, then. You must come down to dinner, No skipping it like you usually do. I have an important announcement to make." Shinaso said, putting a hand on Anasani's shoulder.

"It has to do with me, doesn't it?" Anasani said and the demon father nodded. "I didn't do it. . .not yet, anyway!"

"You did not do a thing. But I would wish to ask what it is that you are planning to do." He said, but Anasani made a zipping motion over her lips and smirked, Shinaso sighed. "I will see you at dinner, then, and I hope you don't get another stupid idea about burning your brother, Knacack, down since he's the demon of the forest."

"Now that was one of my better ideas." Anasani said and Shinaso gave her a strange look. "What? I nearly got through that thick layer of moss he was using as a defense against my fire!"

"Whatever you say." Shinaso said, rolling his eyes, getting up. Oh, Shendu and the rest of his family will be attending dinner, as well, so I want you to get yourself cleaned up."

"Awww!" Anasani whined as he left the room. "Don't wanna take no friggin' bath!"

"I heard that!" The father yelled from the other side of the door.

"Humph!" The dragon grunted, getting up from the bed and heading into the bathroom.

It was going to be a long and hectic night.
