And, oh, how his smile was eerie, lips parting, showing teeth...and the inky black fingers resting right behind them. Suddenly, he turned his head to the side and opened his mouth wide.

Like a banana peeling itself, only this was just a tad more morbid. The Tohru skin rolled down to the countertop, a large, gooey black blob spilling out across the polished surface. And then it took form. Still as dark as death's eyes, but now it had a shape consisting of spindly legs - four of them bent at the oddest of angles.
