Title: The Demons Waiting

Premise: Naruto, Demon Trio. Astaroth, Helkath, and Quiztai sit around their apartment waiting for Villain84 aka Andrew to get back to their story.

Personal Comments: So I was thinking about Naruto earlier, watching clips, anticipating the next movie, Road to Ninja, and then this idea popped into my head about my Naruto stories.

Reminder, Astaroth is an incubus, who looks like the Magician from House of the Dead. Helkath is a voidwaker from World of Warcraft, and Quiztai is an imp from Wow. They are all villains in my Naruto story, Every Man's Dream and Nightmare.

"Quiz, ya mind? Buddy?" Astaroth leaned over and held out his next cigarette at Quiztai, who huffed and held out his arm under it, setting it aflame.

"Don't see why you coulda done that yourself," Quiztai muttered. "I mean you got fire powers too, don't ya?"

"Yeah, you know," Astaroth replied. "I just LOVE screwing around with you guys. And I'm totally bored, so you're gonna be seeing a lot of that here!" He lifted the cigarette to his mouth, and took a long drag, and then an equally long, relaxed puff, blowing a large cloud of smoke into the room.

"This smell irritates me," Helkath groaned from his chair. "How many cigarettes have you had now? I think you should slow down."

"This is my third," Astaroth shrugged. "I haven't had enough yet. I mean it's not like this stuff can kill me, right?" He took another puff.

"Seriously," Quiztai asked impatiently, "When is Andrew gonna get back to OUR story?"

"Yes, my patience is growing thin every passing week!" Helkath added.

"He'll get back to us when he's done with his My Little Pony stories," Astaroth replied, "And also when he's done with MLP overall."

"Well, that's obviously not tonight," Quiztai muttered. "Tonight, I think he's watching those MLP episodes he's missed the last few weeks."

"Yeah, he's watching 'Wonderbolt Academy' right now as we speak," Astaroth nodded.

"You think he even remembers all the good ideas he had going for our story?" Quiztai asked. "He put a lot of thought and effort planning things out in it."

"Not likely," Helkath answered grimly. "I'm sure he'll remember a few things when he returns to us, but he has been bound to have forgotten a few details."

"But he wrote a lot of his ideas down in his notes, didn't he?" Astaroth asked.

"Yes, but not every single idea that has ever popped into his mind," Helkath countered. "At least one detail is bound to be forgotten."

"When was the last time he even watched an episode of Naruto?" Quiztai asked.

"Been a long time," Astaroth huffed. "Probably... last time was... the night he watched Blood Prison is his dorm room."

"But that was in September!" Quiztai snapped.

"Yeah, I know," Astaroth nodded. "Long time. He hasn't ready any Naruto fanfics in a long time either. In fact, on his favorites list, he now has more M-L-P stories than Naruto stories.

"You think maybe he's writing this drabble because he's been inspired to try and get back to our story lately? With the last chapter and with the stuff he's been looking up tonight about Naruto?" Quiztai asked hopefully.

"Possibly," Helkath responded, "But I think he'll just ignore it for now. He feels more obligated to do M-L-P right now."

"Well," Astaroth sighed, "I just hope the guy makes good use of this month off before he goes back to school."

"Yeah, me too," Quiztai agreed.

Helkath then groaned and rose from his chair. "I'm in the mood for a beer."

"Get one for me, will ya buddy?" Astaroth asked.

"Me too?" Quiztai said, raising his hand.

"Sure." The voidwalker sauntered over to the fridge.

He had just opened it when the apartment door opened and in came a hooded figure in a black cloak.

"Hello boys!" The figure hissed in a feminine voice. The minions all seemed less than surprised.

"Hey is the cloak really necessary boss?" Quiztai asked. "I mean hasn't there already been a drabble or something that reveals who you are?"

"Don't remember," Helkath answered. "Might as well just roll with this." He walked back on over, lugging four cans of beer in his arms.

"Not to worry," The hood figure said, sitting down beside Quiztai on the couch. "I have faith in Andrew. He'll get back to us eventually!"
