-1Summary: What is The Portal? It's the most realistic MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). Using head-mounted displays, the players can enjoy moving around freely inside the realistic world as any design that they choose. When five teenagers find out about The Portal, they play as themselves, or rather, their former selves in the Feudal Era realm. What happens when they play as their old selves and they are really the reincarnations in The Portal and the real world? We can only wonder…
The Portal: Book One-Hang On
Chapiter 1: New Alliances, Old Friendships
"Sango! Get your ass moving! We have to get to a safe spot to finish our homework! NOW!" Kagome said while Sango got up. "Ugh hold up my ankle hurts! Don't have a damn seizure!" Sango replied. "I said move it now!" Kagome screamed.. "Why don't you fucking carry me if your so anxious to move eh?" Sango retorted. "That's so gay its not funny! Inuyasha carry her!" Kagome screamed. "Ask Miroku to carry her sorry ass" Inuyasha snapped. "Ah, Sango please without further adieu, let me carry you" Miroku said smirking. "Actually my leg feels pretty good, Kagome there's a clearing further up lets go!" Sango said running up to Kagome. "There is NO way were stepping on western territory! I am not going to put up with that bastard!" Inuyasha muttered. "Rather, your so scared you don't want to rest in Sesshoumaru's territory?" Miroku asked. "H- Hey I didn't say that!" Inuyasha screamed stomping off into the clearing. The others smirked at each other and ran into the clearing also.
Kagome and Sango sat down as a transparent screen appeared in front of Sango and she placed her hand on some of the things on the screen then two papers appeared in her lap. "Seriously, you guys should have taken care of that before logging on?" Inuyasha screamed. "I thought you didn't want a run in with Lord Fluff!" Kagome said taking one of the papers. Then she took out two pens and gave one to Sango. Sango scooted over to sit next to Kagome. "Why don't you shut up and do your stupid homework!" Inuyasha said turning around and sitting down on the ground looking out for anything.
As Kagome and Sango did their math, discussing what they didn't understand out loud, a white blur past them and then they didn't have their papers. "The hell? Where's o-" Sango started before looking up. Kagome looked at Sango. "Wha-" Kagome was about to start when Sango pointed in front of them. Kagome slowly turned her head and looked up. She saw Sesshoumaru, in all his glory, looking at their math homework. "The hell? Give that back!" Kagome screamed getting up and putting her hands on her hips. "What school do you both attend?" Sesshoumaru asked. "I beg your pardon!" Sango asked now getting up also. "You heard me the first time" He replied. They both sighed. "Can we get out papers?" Kagome asked. "Answers first…" He said again dodging the punch Inuyasha threw from the back of him. "Azure High…" Both girls said in unison. "Wait…Higurashi? Izuaki?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Uh…do we know you?" They both asked again. "I bet my dear brother could explain…" Sesshoumaru answered dropping their papers and heading off. "Brother?" They both asked looking at each other then at the two boys.
'It cannot be Sesshoumaru that's just stupid! He's not interested in this type of stuff! Must have another brother…' Kagome thought. "Miroku's human… so…" Sango started. "That leaves Inuyasha…" Kagome finished. "Crap…" Inuyasha muttered. "Inuyasha!" Kagome said narrowing her eyes, dangerously, at the hanyou. "Well…he…is my half brother…" Inuyasha stated. Kagome narrowed her eyes lower if that was possible. "Fine! He's my brother! Sesshoumaru you know! Taisho! The same Sesshoumaru in our school? Who you stalk?" Inuyasha screamed. "What!" Both girls said. "Sesshoumaru! The popular dude!" Sango asked. "He's another reincarnation of someone in the feudal era!" Kagome asked. Sango squealed. "He's in most of my classes!" Kagome added. "Oh my gosh! Maybe we should talk with him tomorrow?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded. "You guys hurry up its almost 10 and we haven't done anything fun yet!" Inuyasha screamed.
(The next day)
It was glorious Friday! The last day of the school week and the last day before the last week of 11th grade.
Kagome and Sango ran to school in their pink mini skirt and white dress shirt with a pink collar attached uniform. They went to their lockers and put on their special watches (you'll see why I said special later) and then headed of to their first period, math.
The teacher wasn't their yet so they had some time to chat. It was very rare that Sango would go with Kagome to talk to one of the popular kids but it was for a cause. "Hey, Kimberly are you going on The Portal tomorrow?" Kagome asked. "Yeah!" A girl with her red eyes and gray short hair replied. She was a neko youkai. "What's that?" All the other girls surrounding Kagome and Kimberly asked. "Its this hot new game! It comes with this head set thing and you put it on and its like your actually in the game!" Kimberly said excitedly. "Like oh my gosh!" The other girls squealed. This is exactly why Sango didn't like hanging out with the popular girls. Kagome was an exception. She was a tomboy who was smart and popular and they'd been friends since elementary. Once they started learning about the feudal era in history that only made their friendship stronger.
Yet did she notice Kagome had dragged her over to the popular guys with Kimberly none the less next to her. "Hey guys!" Kimberly said. They all looked at the girl. "This is Sango! She also plays The Portal!" Kimberly squealed. Kagome smirked and pushed her in front of them. The boys surrounded the girl minus Sesshoumaru. They were asking for her username, her phone number, and if she could go out with them. "So, Sesshoumaru… not into games?" Kimberly asked looking at the inu youkai closely. She got no reply. "Oh my fucking gosh Sesshoumaru talk for friggin once!" Kagome snapped at him. Kimberly chuckled. "Why don't you return to your little box of gay preps?" Sesshoumaru replied in a monotone voice. They guys turned their attention to the two. "Ooh!" Was heard and also "You just got tizzold". "Why don't you play with your make up kit ya damn ganguro!" Kagome snapped back. Kimberly clapped and Sango cheered on Kagome. "Oh, you gonna take that from her!" Was heard. "Get your ass out of my face, your disturbing my eyes. No wait I think that is your face!" Sesshoumaru replied coolly. The boys were clapping now. "You were long disturbed before any of us got here queer" Kagome replied crossing her arms and looking around. The boys were hooting as was Sango and Kimberly.
"Kagome…" Sesshoumaru said. Kagome looked him dead in the eye. Sesshoumaru shrieked in a high pitch while shielding his eyes with one arm and turning his head away. "Ah Kami! Your burning my eyes!" He added after the shriek. The boys were laughing and Sango raised an eyebrow while Kimberly said "Oh crap, he went there…". Then a slap was heard. Everyone oohed and went around Kagome and Sesshoumaru chanting "Fight!". "I'd rather make this fight world wide…in The Portal…" Kagome said smirking. Sesshoumaru pushed her and then raised his fist. "This will be waiting for you…" He also said. The class was hooting. "Oh, don't worry! I will smack you so hard you'll fly into February 31!" Kagome said. The girls were cheering Kagome on. The boys were oohing again. "Feudal domain…be there…" Sesshoumaru said before trying to push her again but failed when Kagome jumped in the air and kicked him lightly on the head. "Same for you, ya brain-dead repid! (inside joke)" Kagome said before walking off to the girls again .
The boys were hooting and some said "Oh! She just tizzold you!". The girls all squealed. "You won a diss off against Sesshoumaru!" They all said. The boys were asking for her phone number now. "Who's gonna watch the fight?" Kimberly screamed. All of the boys hooted while most of the girls cheered. Sango smirked at Kagome. Truth be told Kagome had a long standing crush on Sesshoumaru since middle school. She even goes out with Inuyasha just to see him. But she never knew when he was in his room he was playing the portal. They fought with him a few times but Inuyasha never said that it was him. So Kagome was pissed at Inuyasha. "I guess the teachers absent!" One of the girls said jumping up and down. Sango looked at her watch and pressed a button and a transparent small screen appeared and she typed in something and sent it to Kagome.
Kagome's watch beeped and she looked down at her watch. It said 'Ur actually gonna fite? U said u like him though'. Kagome nodded. Sango and Kagome went into the corner. "Sango, I'll need some of our expedition B clothes." Kagome said. Sango nodded and typed stuff in the transparent screen then Kagome's watch beeped again and it said 'New data stored'. And they both smiled at each other. "This is gonna be an interesting fight…" Kagome said. Sango nodded and got up and walked to the center of the class room. "Hey everyone! This isn't a normal fist fight! There will be three parts to this, making it a test!" Sango said. Everyone nodded and chatted then looked up at Sango.
"First, each person will have another teammate! Second the three challenges will be agility, skills, and then sparring! Third, everyone attending is considered a judge except for the four players! And questions?" Sango screamed. Everyone shook their heads and then went to their normal conversations. "So Sesshoumaru, what's your username?" A boy screamed out. The room went silent. "Killing Perfection…" He answered. Everyone gasped. "Yo! That dude is unbeatable!" One guy said. "Once my friend fought him and had to get a new character!" This other guy said. "He is so hot! Did you hear he's one of the Feudal lords in the game!" One girl said. "Yeah! Sesshoumaru who's gonna be your lady!" Another girl screamed. The room went silent again. "That is unknown even to me…" He answered. Half the girls shrieked and the other half minus Kagome and Sango started bidding on who could get the spot. "Kagome, what about you? What's your username?" Kimberly asked.
The room was yet again in utter silence. "Graceful Death…" Kagome said. "What! That girl is a total hottie!" One guy said. "I saw her kick this dude's ass in one attack!" Another said. "Kagome, is any of your teammates dating you!" One guy asked. The room went as quiet as air itself. "No, my interest is in another person…" She replied. "In this class?" A girl asked. Kagome shrugged her shoulders and started chatting with Sango while the boys started betting on who she liked. The bell rung and everyone went out of the class room chatting about the gonna be fight. All but Kagome who wondered why Sesshoumaru and her were not together.
Kagome remembered very well why her and Sesshoumaru weren't together. It was because of the preps. Their leader, Ariyuki, lied to both of them. And that both broke them up. Kagome sighed thinking about the possible ways she could get back with the stoic demon. She dated Inuyasha, that sure as hell didn't work. She tried to tell him but was interrupted. She did other stuff but nothing worked. Did he even still like her? Kagome then bumped into Sango and got an idea. "Sango!" Kagome said smiling. "Oh Kami, not again…" Sango said. "I need you to prepare us a new watch for our new member to our group!" Kagome said still smiling. "Huh? Who?" Sango asked. "Look if I win, I get to request a prize and guess what my prize is gonna be!" Kagome said jumping up and down. "Another failing attempt to get back with fluff?" Sango asked. "Wrong! He's gonna join our team and I'm gonna WIN his heart! Again!" Kagome said with a toothy grin still jumping up and down. "And this is gonna work how?" Sango asked. "Well, lets take him to the other realm of the game!" Kagome said. "You don't mean to the… but that's for people who are trying to solve legends!" Sango said. "And we are! The legend of the Taiyoukai and the Miko!" Kagome said swirling around her friend as they walked around the empty halls. They were skipping History again since they had a sub. "But you know the risks! What if-" Sango started before Kagome held up her hand. "We will figure out the legend and I will get back with Sesshoumaru just you wa-" Kagome said before bumping into something. "Ugh, watch where yo- Sesshoumaru!" Kagome said scrambling up. "I didn't know you skipped!" Kagome said again. "Mikos…." Sesshoumaru said. Unknown to her Sesshoumaru heard every single word she said. "What! If everyone in the world were like you we'd have another fucking ice age!" Kagome said poking him in the stomach. "If more people were like you the moon would never shine…" Sesshoumaru said narrowing his eyes at the girl. They both forgot Sango was their at the moment. "If more people were like you no one would know the definition of smile or joy!" Kagome said getting dangerously close. "If everyone in the world were like you no one would notice the violence and harm surrounding them!" Sesshoumaru snapped back and their noses were touching. "If more people were like you then everyone would be so fucking serious!" Kagome said. "If more people were like you the world would be full of oh so happy people!" Sesshoumaru said. "That's it!" Kagome screamed as she kissed Sesshoumaru fully on the lips. "Wow… didn't see that one coming…" Sango said taking a picture with her camera phone. "I hate you!" Kagome said breaking away from the kiss. "I hate you more!" Sesshoumaru said as they both started kissing each other again. Sango sighed. "What do they do…make out when they like each other?" Sango mumbled. The kiss got more passionate and deep as they started moaning. "Alright you two your gonna draw attention and get us all caught!" Sango said a little over a whisper. They broke apart, narrowing their eyes at each other. "Until tonight…" Sesshoumaru said walking away and raising his hand as to saying bye. "Later…" Kagome said with a little wave of her own and then turning around to walk with Sango. 'Maybe I do have a better chance then I thought…' Kagome thought to herself. 'So you want to get together again my little miko…well see…' Sesshoumaru thought to himself and they both touched their lips and inwardly smiled.
(Fight Time)
A lot of people were there, Kimberly the first to log on from the math class. Inuyasha and Miroku followed then Sango and Kagome. The rest all came on and now they were waiting on Sesshoumaru, in his lands. "Kim you never said you were a wave master!" Kagome said. She had on a long black shirt with a tie and a white mini skirt with a white leather jacket to top it off. She also had cute leather boots on and her hair was in pig tails.
"You never told me you had a team!" Kimberly replied. Kimberly had on a white robe with a gold trim through the middle and around it. Her hair was orange pink and she had a staff with a cross at the tip of it. "Ah! Sesshoumaru's logging on!" Sango said looking at her watch. Sango had on a black leather jacket, fully buttoned, with a long pink scarf and also black boots. Her hair was fully out and she was tapping her foot. Finally the taiyoukai appeared in front of them. "You. Are. Late!" Kagome said.
"Lets begin…" Sesshoumaru stated. Sango nodded. "Choose your partner!" Sango screamed. "Sango…" Kagome said smirking. "Kotaro…" Sesshoumaru also said. A boy with white hair and a distant look came out. He had on a robe similar to Kimberly except his trim was black and he had yellow strips on his check with a long staff that had a transparent heart with a gold circle around it. "Choose your prize!" Sango said. "If I win Sesshoumaru has to admit defeat and join my team!" Kagome said. Everyone gasped. "When I win Kagome and her team shall join my companions and I and admit defeat in any public manner of my choosing…" Sesshoumaru said crossing his arms. Everyone gasped and there were some shrieks.
"First challenge! Agility!" A girl screamed. The two member teams walked to the center of the clearing. "The rules are as follows: You may not use demon speed and no tricks this is a race and if there is any thing besides running your team will be disqualified!" The same girl said. Then an arrow was thrown past them and they were off. (We all know who's gonna win). At first Sesshoumaru had a pretty good head start but Kotaro was a little behind. Kagome and Sango smirked at each other and then ran a little bit faster to catch up with Sesshoumaru. "Hey, if it isn't your ex! Wonder what he's doing going so slow! Maybe he likes you, ne?" Sango said. Kagome and Sesshoumaru stopped dead in their tracks and glared at her. The girl ran off laughing at the two. The two narrowed their eyes dangerously at the girl and then looked at each other and nodded. Kagome held out her hand as Sesshoumaru grabbed it and walked a few steps back then ran forward with Kagome at first being dragged but now she was next to him. Sesshoumaru pulled his hand up and then let go as Kagome flew towards the fleeing girl and kicked her in her back and the two ran off chuckling. They both crossed the line at the same time (gasp!). "The first challenge! Tie!" A guy screamed. "The second is skills! Please take out a weapon of your choosing!" The same guy screamed. Kotaro finally ran right behind Sesshoumaru who just wielded Tokijin. Sango took out her boomerang and Kagome took out her arrows. "Alright this is simple. All you have to do is obliterate the dummy into nothing ness. Ready! Go!" A different gut said. Sesshoumaru was first. He raised his sword up and then slashed it down as a huge purple blast erupted from his sword. Everyone looked up at the dummy. It was gone. Sesshoumaru sheathed his sword and observed his nails. Kagome took out an arrow and (I suck at anything archery so pardon my skill of describing it) held up he bow. She pulled the string back with the arrow facing the target and a pink glow was around the arrow. Then she released it and a huge pink light sailed across the wind. Everyone followed the light which obliterated the dummy and a few trees. "Oops that was a little too much…" Kagome said giggling. Kotaro chanted a few words and then through a sutra (sp?) at the dummy. There was a few remains left and some people chuckled. "Alright San this is all on you. Lets get Sesshoumaru on our team!" Kagome whispered to Sango. Sango nodded with a smirk and backed up. "Hiraikotsu!" She screamed as she threw the boomerang with all her might while running a bit. It flew and the dummy was nothing. Kagome squealed and jumped up and down and Sango gave her a high five. "The girls have on point!" A guy said. Inuyasha feh'd as Miroku did a little yes and a happy dance. Sesshoumaru sighed contently and Kotaro frowned. The girls were cheering and hooting and so were the guys. "The last challenge! Sparring!" A girl screamed. Kagome revealed ten hidden daggers and Sango took out a sword. Sesshoumaru un sheathed Tokijin again and Kotaro borrowed a sword from the crowd.
"Kagome…" A girl started out. "I know I have a sword on my side!" Kagome said smirking. The crowed just shrugged. "First Sesshoumaru will go up against Kagome and then Kotaro and Sango. The winning team will have what they wished for, for their prize. Ready begin!" The same girl said. Kagome took deep breaths as She and Sesshoumaru were circling. Sesshoumaru smirked as he "disappeared". Kagome could sense aura very well so she turned around just in time and placed two daggers down and wielded her sword. Both swords clashed. And the crowd was hooting. Kagome jabbed Sesshoumaru with a dagger in his side but just by a little due to his quick reflexes as Sesshoumaru sent her spiraling into a tree. Kagome just in time placed her two hands on the ground and did a flip landing her facing Sesshoumaru. Now, Kagome was pissed. Not that she was almost sent into the tree but that she felt a little weaker. Then it hit her. Sesshoumaru had poison on his side. Kagome growled and then jumped up in the air, masking her scent. No one knew where she went until she appeared behind Sesshoumaru with her sword to his neck. "I DARE you to move…" She whispered in his ear. Then she pressed her sword hard against his neck as her other hand with the daggers was raised and then Sesshoumaru was pinned to a tree, by five daggers. Kagome's hair started to spin around wildly and Sango quickly elbowed the announcer who was in a total state of shock. "Winner is Higurashi-sama!" The girl said. Everyone cheered. "I want my money!" Was heard throughout the crowd. Kagome stopped dead in her tracks and her hair fell down clumsily as she turned around smiling. "You have…won this once…." Sesshoumaru said. "Welcome to the team Sesshoumaru!" Kagome said giggling as she ran back to Sango and they were both dancing around. Kotaro dropped the borrowed sword and ran away, logging out shortly after. The victor was Kagome! Sesshoumaru was a little pissed but not that much. Truth be told he lost on purpose. Those idiots actually thought that he would lose not by will? They had another thing coming.
"Sango we need to give him his team initiation!" Kagome said smirking. Sango then had an evil grin on. Inuyasha and Miroku soon caught up and Inuyasha picked up Kagome from the back and twirled her around "Ah! Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed. "Hey Miroku! Our football is alive!" Inuyasha screamed throwing Kagome up in the air and catching her. "Ahh! Inuyasha!" She repeated. He threw her up again. "SIT!" Kagome screamed and he fell down to the ground and then she just realized. "Crack!" Kagome said as she was falling down with no one to catch her. No one but.. "Sesshoumaru get your sorry a- AHH!" Kagome said as she looked down at the collision she was about to have with the ground. Then she was caught. "Thank Kami!" Kagome said hugging her savior tightly. Sango started snickering. "Kagome how many times do we have to go through the do not say thank Kami while touching me in any manner lecture?" Sesshoumaru said. Kagome sighed. "I'd like to hear you say that when you fuck her to death!" Miroku said smirking. Kagome were turning wonderful different shades of red as Sesshoumaru sighed. The poor Taiyoukai… Stuck with two simpletons…a taijiya….and a miko…
