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

Chapter 41: What you leave behind

Kat proceeded steadily through the orphanage. The hall was relatively quiet, but children could be heard behind a few doors likely enjoying the break from school. Pushing open her door Kat threw the bag on her bed and proceeded to fold her clothes half heartedly and then place them in her bag. After a moment of this Lily began to assist Kat silently pulling clothes from there hangers and handing them to Kat where quickly folded them.

"Shouldn't you take a bit more care with you clothes Kat?" asked Lily

"Not really, these are all just everyday clothes they can be a bit wrinkled and I'll live" said Kat

"You should take better care of your clothes Kat" said Lily

"I mean it's fine isn't it? I don't even iron anything, so a few wrinkles are to be expected" said Kat

"Wait you don't even iron anything? I never knew that; don't you have any nice clothes that need maintenance? " asked Lily

"Well of course" said Kat. Lily waited while she handed of Kat's clothes waiting for her to elaborate. After three sets of underwear Lily asked "Well?"

Kat just stared at Lily as she folded clothes and placed them without looking in the bag behind her.

"Why are you looking at me like- oh, oh right. Is that really the only nice outfit you have?" asked Lily

"Pretty much. It's not like I don't have other outfits that look nice but it isn't like they require any special care, and this outfit keeps itself clean never wrinkles and I can summon it at will. Hell I can even repair rips and tears if I dismiss it" said Kat

"Now that's just cheating, I wonder if it grows as you do" said Lily

Kat shrugged "I have no idea. I'd say the chances are likely considering the system said that most demons only get one outfit I'd assume that it changes as we do. I mean my wings can shift through it…" Kat trailed of realising what she had just done.

"Lily did I just walk through the orphanage without anything covering my wings?" asked Kat

"Do you really want my answer to that one Kat?" asked Lily

"Fair enough" said Kat

Finishing the clothes Kat then threw in her alarm clock and her extra pillow along with its two spare covers. After this Kat then looked at the bed in consideration.*Hmm, do I take the sheets as well? Are they considered mine? Do I have space? Hmm.* After being lost in thought for a few minutes without moving Lily asked Kat "What's up? Something on your mind"

"Well, I'm just not sure what to do about these sheets actually. See they aren't exactly mine, or at least they weren't originally. Originally they were just part of a batch lot that the orphanage got but I've had these sheets as long as I can remember and Gramps never replaced them. Now I don't really mind leaving them here too much but everyone else has had the sheets replaced, some multiple times throughout the years. These are a bit tattered along the edges, but I don't really mind so it's more a matter of it someone else would use them if I left them here" said Kat

"Huh, well I mean, I guess so? Does Gramps have spare sheets" asked Lily

"Yeah we have a bunch in storage for accidents and whatnot" said Kat

"I guess just take them then, I doubt someone else will use them. If it's a problem Gramps can walk down the road and take them back" said Lily

"Well, that is true, but I don't really have room" said Kat pointed towards the duffel bag.

Unnoticed to Lily it had filled up rather quickly. Kat may not have had many things but between the half-sized pillow and a full wardrobes worth of clothes it did actually fill up quite fast.

"Right, just wrap them around the bag then" said Lily

"Nice idea" said Kat bundling the sheets together and then wrapping the outer layer around the bag.

"Now it's schoolbooks that I question. I don't really need them but I don't want to just leave them for Gramps" said Kat as she grabbed out her school bag and started filling it with other random things from the room like her phone and charger as well as her pencil case and anything else left over.

"Just bring them down with us and stop by Gramps office asking what he wants to do with them" said Lily

"Hey wait, Kat where are the rest of your shoes" asked Lily

"Well, I did have some but they've sort of worn out in the last six months and I just haven't gotten around to it" said Kat

"Kaaat" said Lily drawing the name out "How many sets of shoes do you own"

"An infinite number of shoes" said Kat

"Well, how do you figure that?" said Lily

"Well, these shoes I have as part of my Demonic Attire can be endlessly replaced as far as I'm aware so I have an infinite number of shoes" said Kat

Lily stared at Kat mouth agape. "Please tell me why we haven't gone out and gotten you new shoes"

Kat shrugged "My shoes work perfectly fine and I didn't want to take on any random jobs around town when I was so close to finishing school"

"Well, even if I can ignore the rest of your wardrobe I have to draw the line at one pair of shoes" said Lily

"Lily you only own three pairs of shoes" Kat retorted.

"That's triple the number of shoes you own Kat" said Lily

"It's two more pairs then I've needed in the last six months" said Kat. Lily just glared at Kat as she pulled the last of her books from the closet. Patting the top of the pile Kat said "Well that's everything"

"Wait that's everything? As in those books, and two bags worth of stuff" said Lily

"Don't forget the sheets" said Kat

"Am I a bad person Kat?" asked Lily

"Where the hell did that come from?" said Kat

"I mean, I just… I complain to you, a lot and I probably whine to myself even more, but I've done quite well for myself, I have stacks of random books I've hardly ever read and a few more clothes besides, and yet I'm the one always complaining" said Lily

"I mean, does it matter? I'm happy to listen to you whenever even if it's to complain. Besides I come around and use your stuff a quite a lot" said Kat

"I guess" said Lily still looking somewhat troubled. Kat just picked up her things, her hands for the books her shoulder for the backpack now that her wings were in the way and her tail for the duffel.

"Um, I can carry some of that for you if you want" said Lily

"I'm fine, I got a decent bit stronger actually when my wings came in. This isn't even a strain on me" said Kat but Lily still looked a bit uneasy

"Actually, can you take my backpack for me, the wings really get in the way" said Kat handing the backpack over to Lily who gratefully accepted the pack.

"Well I guess we go see how Gramps and Vivian are doing" said Kat as she made her way downstairs, this time eyes and ears on the lookout for troublesome individuals in the hallway. The wings could maybe be explained away but she was clearly carrying stuff with her tail which would raise several unwanted questions.
