The summoning circle stopped glowing brighter and held for a moment before an explosion of smoke filled the air. After a few coughs, he realized that it wasn't actually smoke in his lungs. There was heat but no burning smell. Still coughing, he opened his eyes and futilely attempted to wave away the... steam?
He couldn't see anything but that gray fog except for the tiny instant of a fist flying straight at his face. Then there was darkness.
He eventually regained consciousness and became very aware of the pain in his nose. After some wincing and coddling, he then became aware of the sound of clanking nearby. He sat up to find someone rummaging through his refrigerator.
The nude person had a petite, feminine body, skin that seemed to have a bluish tint to it, and a long, fleshy tail.
'Is this the demon I summoned?' he wondered, very confused by the fact that... well, quite frankly, confused by just about everything. He hadn't expected it to have actually worked, for starters, but he definitely hadn't expected to be immediately punched out.
'I thought she'd be red.'
"What are you looking for?" he called out.
"Meat," she replied casually. "FUCK!" She spun around and took a few steps toward him before continuing the angry shouting. "Who the fuck are you?" Her right hand pointed at him, and her left hand held a fried chicken leg.
'Heh. She's actually got horns, but they look the same as her skin. Flesh horns? And she's bald?'
In a fleeting thought, he found it an amusing site, but he thought it best not to laugh at her. She was noticeably muscular. Not beefy, but also not lithe, and he already got a taste of her strength. Kinda sexy, by his standards. Her breasts were on the small side, but very well-proportioned to her body. Very nice, smooth pussy too.
"Hey! Eyes up! Who the fuck are you?"
He wasn't exactly educated on rules for engaging with demons, but he'd heard that if you said a demon's name, then you had power over it. Too bad he didn't know her name, but in that instant, he wondered if the reverse was also true, so he decided to not reveal that potentially dangerous bit of info.
"Pretty sure I'm the one that summoned you."
"I didn't ask that, jackass. I want your name," she shouted.
"You first," he dared.
For an instant a look of surprise and fear flashed across her face, then it was back to anger, although slightly less so.
She turned sharply with a frustrated growl and stepped back to the open refrigerator.
"All I see is chicken. Where's the cow?" she asked rummaging further.
"Cow is in the freezer," he said in the process of standing up. He felt the sudden change of blood pressure in his already sensitive face. "Ouch."
She opened the lower smaller door and paused before pulling out a steak vacuum sealed in plastic.
"Fuck," she said and then tossed it into the nearby sink. She slammed both doors before punching the larger one several times as she shouted, "FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!"
"HEY!" he finally shouted back at her. "Easy," he followed a little quieter.
She suddenly stopped, partially turned her head, and then sort of grunted, clearly not pleased by that choice. He felt a brief rush of fear. He hadn't intended to yell at her. It just came out as a reaction to her abusing his property.
She finished the chicken leg, tossed it into the sink, and then washed and dried her hands, which he found amusingly mundane, given all that's happened so far.
"I summoned you," he said, trying to redirect attention. "Aren't you supposed to grant me wishes, or something?"
"I'm not a fucking genie. I don't magically grant wishes." She was still mad, but much calmer as she answered. She didn't shout, at least.
"How the hell did you summon me? I was supposed to be unsummonable." She stepped over to the small kitchen table and pick up a familiar book.
"And don't tell me you did it with this." She held the book up. "This is bullshit. They didn't even fucking draw it correctly," she added, forcefully putting the book back on the table.
"I don't know what to tell you," he said, casually walking toward her.
He was a little surprised that he was daring to, but he didn't really get the impression that she would attack him again. Her behavior had suggested that she would like to, but something was keeping her from it.
"That book was all I had to work with," he continued. "Maybe I somehow managed to do it right by doing it wrong."
"Ridiculous," she huffed.
He stopped a few feet away from her. "What did you mean by unsummonable?"
She growled a second and then answered. "I had a sealing sigil on me. It should have prevented anyone from summoning me. Even that shit book should have prevented you from summoning me. It's all wrong. Everything about this is wrong."
"How did you get a sealing sigil?"
"I had it put on myself," she said a bit louder. "Quit asking me so many fucking questions," she circled around him and stomped over to the living room where she paced back and forth in contemplation.
'Curious,' he thought, turning to watch her. 'She didn't touch me. She just went around without making contact. And she didn't look at me, either. Also, she was frustrated by me asking a question, but she still answered it.'
"Why did you have a sealing sigil put on yourself,' he tested.
"So I couldn't be summoned. DAMN IT! Shut up! I'm trying to think."
He decided to back off a while and just observe her. She contradicted so many of his preconceived notions about demons, in both her appearance and behavior. She wasn't trying to seduce or bargain with him. She didn't seem even slightly interested in his soul. She wanted nothing to do with him, in fact, but then that raised the question of why she was still there.
She chewed her thumb anxiously. Her pacing paused intermittently, presumedly needing brief moments of extra focus in her ruminations.
'She seems to be completely hairless,' he noticed. He tried to catch a clear glimpse at her fingers, and then her toes. 'No hair, no finger or toenails, and her horns are not boney. She's entirely flesh on the outside.'
This was quite odd to him, but in spite of it all, she still looked rather cute. And her body was undeniably sexy. She had a very grabbable ass, and every hard step she took gave her perky breasts a little bounce.
