Sheena's got a little secret

This was a request made sometime back in January after Raven's little Christmas project. I wanted to get in on it before, but sadly I had no account on dA then so I was unable to. I'm actually quite surprised he accepted to do it back then because I figured he'd grow a little tired and would want a break from making these. Looks like the Raven got me good there, eh? xP

Anyways, as with all of Raven's Christmas pics, I decided to whip up a little something to go along with this for all to enjoy.

(And yes, I DID get permission from the original artist to put this up.)

After a long and good Christmas night, the crew seemed to be quite happy to have a little break from action to settle down. Least, until the leader discovered something on their list. "It seems we missed someone." spoke the little raven looking down onto the list of names. "What?!" yelled out someone from across the room, a tall red-haired woman who was in the middle of removing her skimpy Christmas outfit, "But we checked the list!" The raven looked up at the woman with his beady eyes. "Did you check it twice?"

"Uhm, well...I...thought...we had everyone." she simply remarked. The wolf accompanying them came up beside the raven and also looked at the list. "It seems we have one more stop to go." the canine said looking at the same list, "Lets not waste anymore time than we should and do this quickly. It's almost Christmas right now, and I'm sure Santa will have a fit if this list isn't completed before midnight!"

"Well hold on," the woman replied, "who's the last name on the list?" Both the raven and his wolf companion checked the list for a name, but could only find one. "Brennan." the raven said with a little confusion, "I don't believe I met anyone with that name." "So..." said the woman in a rush to put back on the Christmas outfit, "what are we waiting for, Raven? Lets go find this Brennan guy and..." "Slow down, Yuri," the wolf told her, "we still need to find out what his wish is." "Oh....right then. Sorry Reindol." Yuri took a seat on the chair as Raven and Reindol searched the sack and found one last set of instructions. "Here we are!" Raven exclaimed, "Now lets see, what do we do for this Mr. Brennan?..."

"So, lemme get this straight..." said a woman clad in a purple gi along with a pair of tight black pants. Her black hair was tied to the back of her head with a simple hair band. "You want me to be someone's Christmas gift this year?" Raven nodded, parched ontop of Yuri's head. "As strange as it may sound, that's correct miss Sheena. You know a man named Brennan, don't you?" Sheena's eyes widened as she blushed a little. "H-how do you know Bren?" she suddenly asked the group. Raven was quick to respond to her question. "You know him?" he asked her. "Y-yeah...we've been going out for a while now. I didn't know it was Bren you were talking about though.." Yuri soon began to speak, "As for how we know him, well it's a long story...and we really don't have much time to tell it. Just come with us, quickly!"

Later that night, a young man in an orange shirt and black pants stepped inside his small home, hanging up his rather wet coat to dry. It was snowing pretty hard tonight, so he felt pretty lucky to bring it with him. He looked over at his tree and, to his surprise, saw Sheena with her arms tied behind it using her own pink waist scarf. A big pink bow was also placed onto her head and her knees were tied together with what seemed to be the same wrap that the bow was made out of. "Hey Bren.." Sheena said with a smile. "S-Sheena?! How..what.." Sheena's toes pointed to a note left on his little coffee table as he picked it up and read the little message written on it.

"Sheena has been waiting for your arrival. She loves to be tickled, but she doesn't want to admit it. See if you can get her to say it."

This would turn out to be the best Christmas present Brennan had ever gotten, even though he never did know who sent it or if it was out of Sheena's good will. Perhaps one day he'll find out the sender, but for now his main focus was on his present, and it was gonna be one long night for the two of them.
