D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad



"I'm glad you're ok," said Sue as she hugged Kat tightly, intentionally making sure to press her chest against Kat's arm. It probably wasn't going to do anything… to Kat. If Lily found the sight pleasing, then Sue would consider it worth it. Then again, Sue probably would've done it even if Lily wasn't watching. 

"While I enjoy the hug, I'm not sure why you're so worried," said Kat as she hugged Sue back. Sure Sue might have been trying to make it indecent, but good hugs are not something to ignore. 

"Well, I want to visit Bing first, and but she was talking about secret stuff with Lian, so I just made sure she was fine, and then went to leave, but she mentioned you were pale, and considering what I know of your regeneration, there's only one thing that could have caused it. Overuse of KatE," said Sue with a pout on her face. 

"Ah… that. Yeah… I didn't expect it to be such a problem. I was… not fine perhaps but I managed to get through it and I'm feeling better now," said Kat with a smile that would hopefully reassure Sue. 

"Kat… everyone knows that you're only supposed to use that ability when you absolutely NEED to. I'm not saying you didn't… but everyone has a different limit on it, and it's never safe to go over it. Using your fire like that twice in one week is pretty tough on your body… and possibly your soul as well. I wonder if you're regeneration is what's keeping you together… or if you rested just enough to not cause yourself real damage," said Sue, still pouting. 

"Eh… I'm not sure…" said Kat sheepishly. 

"Ok… look… just, try not to rely on that skill? Everything else can be trained up without risk to yourself, especially with the medical care on off in the Hub. If you damage your demonic fire though… death is preferable to the alternatives. So… like… don't do that," insisted Sue. 

Kat nodded, "Sure," 

"I can't help but feel like you aren't taking this seriously," said Sue with a grimace. 

*Perhaps I'm not. I certainly didn't feel good after using KatE the second time to take down Bang, but I still think it was the right choice. I actually think it was more draining to use her to send a message to Sue because of the time I had to have her out, and the run down the mountain. Then again… it could've been using her twice in 'quick succession' if it can even be counted as such. I thought I'd given myself enough time, clearly I was wrong…

But by how much? This isn't the sort of thing I can test on Earth, and  I probably want to give myself a week to properly recover, because I'm surely worse off after overusing the ability. I feel like there should be a way to train it… but perhaps Sue is right and there just isn't.*

"Maybe I'm not taking this as seriously as it deserves… and I'm sorry if I'm worrying you Sue, but I feel quite fine now and I guess I just don't have a proper concept of how dangerous overusing my abilities. Are… so let's talk about something less depressing. Hopefully. What have you been doing while I was off fighting?" asked Kat. 

Sue narrowed her eyes, "This isn't a subtle attempt to shame me for not helping right?" 

Kat looked at Sue with confusion across her face. "What the heck are you talking about? Why would I expect that of you? You're my friend, and I know that you're not all that interested in combat unlike Kamiko, or heck even Lily who really wants to feel useful. You're better at social situations, and sex. So I'll leave those to you…" 

Sue sighed, letting her shoulders droop, "Sorry for asking that… I guess… no I didn't want to think that of you… but I sort of felt like I was a bit useless? I suppose Lily might know a bit of what I'm feeling… but if you really don't mind…"

"Of course not Sue. Besides, quite a few of my opponents were Rank 4. I'm not going to force you to fight people like that for… I dunno pride reasons?" said Kat. 

Sue smiled, though it looked a little fragile, "Well in that case, I was trying to keep everyone from freaking out too much so I want around and had sex with people that were looking stressed," 

"And… was that fun?" asked Kat a little unsure. 

"Well… I only managed to accidentally start one orgy when I was having a foursome and then three others walked in on us… but those guys were weak, passed out after just a few rounds. Then I ended up sleeping with way more girls then guys. I don't know why… but the men just weren't interested, or, they were, clearly and with quite a few nice looking visual indicators but they still turned me down and I didn't feel like pushing at the time. A bunch of girls were down though… which, wasn't as satisfying, but some of them really knew what they were doing," said Sue. 

"Are you sure you're straight?" asked Kat. Again. 

Sue nodded, "Yeah, pretty sure. I mean, looking at naked women does absolutely nothing for me. Not even the slightest tingle… but really, can you tell who's fingering you during an orgy?" 

Kat gave Sue a deadpan stare, "I wouldn't know, and I don't think I want to imagine either."

"True true, you are a like that aren't you. Look… it's… I guess it depends on who you ask. Some people would say that just because I'm willing to sleep with women I'm bisexual or at least bi-curious, and I wouldn't even say they're wrong… but I it takes a fair bit of work for me to feel anything with women. Kisses do nothing, light petting gets barely a reaction… it's only when they go all in…"

Kat decided to hold up her hand, signalling for Sue to stop. "Look… I do appreciate the fact that you were willing to answer, and I trust it… but I'd really rather not know more," 

Sue inclined her head in acceptance, "Yeah, I understand. I guess it's just… important to me. It's something I care about that isn't just sex, which is nice. Mostly sex, but not just sex."

"Perhaps you can become a sexuality councillor or something, if that's something demons need? Perhaps an adult one that gives… hands on advice?" suggested Kat. 

Sue let out a few small giggles at Kat's suggestion, "That's an amusing thought Kat. I'm not sure if that's something we really need… but I could certainly train myself up for the job, and hopefully get contracts that revolve around helping people sort out their questions of sexuality… not sure that anyone would waste that much money summoning a demon for that kind of help… but I might do it…" 

"See, that's something you can enjoy," said Kat. 

"Indeed, I can already imagine the looks on all the repressed lesbian faces," said Sue with a smile. 

"Wait… what?" said Kat. "Why would you specifically target lesbians? Did we not just have this conversation?" 

"Straight I may be, but repressed lesbians just make the cutest faces when you tease them. Bing is a perfect example of this, and technically I don't have to sleep with ALL of them. Besides, you can't deny me this. I mean, you take great pleasure in teasing Lily and you're asexual, so surely you can understand," said Sue with a grin. 

*I feel like I should argue against this somehow… maybe about how you're setting them up for disappointment by potentially rocking their world as a straight women and then telling them to find a different girl… but maybe that's better? Less awkward? Like talking to strangers about your problems because you don't care about their opinion? Still not sure it's a good idea but…* "I suppose I can admit that it IS amusing to watch," said Kat. 

"Glad you agree. Not finding them sexually attractive makes it very easy to avoid return fire as well," said Sue. 

"Hmm… not sure I can agree with that part. I feel like if Lily managed to find the right angle she could still tease me. Not sure what that angle is, because sex isn't going to do it. Maybe just embarrassment somehow? Though I don't find myself embarrassed often… hmm… well if I can survive you I can survive anything," said Kat with a shrug. 

"Eh, I've let you off easy because you're mind friend. I could make you really embarrassed if I want into the naughty details and you know it," grinned Sue. 

Kat sighed, "Yeah, I suppose that part is true… maybe I should let up on Lily occasionally?" 

"Nah," finished Kat and Sue with matching grins before they pulled each other into another hug. 

"Oh yeah, by the way are you good to make the journey back even if we aren't paid for it?" asked Kat. 

Sue smiled, "Oh… I'm sure I can… extract… my payment from the sailors,"
