FOREVER IN DARKNESS

Chapter 5: Episode 2

disclaimer: If you recognize it I don't own it!

MCS: "Hey everybody! I'm so upset because it's Monday! I just got off of a 3-day weekend. Did you know Monday is the day that most heart attacks occur on? I think we should use the Garfield method and ban Mondays! (Garfield the cartoon cat.) Tomorrow I'll turn in my p/p stories. I have it Tuesdays and Thursdays. See ya!"

Near the portal of darkness

A black cloaked man slowly walked in a circle. He threw black dust on the ground and chanted the dark language, suddenly a fairly large black vortex appeared. A blond woman behind him spoke.

"Is that the famous portal of darkness? Cause I gotta tell ya, not really living up to the hype. This thing looks like it can't even summon a troll."

"No," came the frigid voice. "This isn't even a fraction of the portal. For the portal to be summoned I need a lot more power."

"Dang, you're the strongest demon in 2 universes."

"Actually 5," then he smiled a sinister smile. "But if my plan unfolds correctly the portal will open, and I will become king of this world. Imagine it, all humans enslaved and forced to work for us. Endless misery and torment!"

"Sounds wonderful, one problem, you can't open it. Millions of demons have tried, and each one has had the same fate, death," then she looked over her french manicured nails.

"Has anyone ever told you you're too negative?"

"Has anyone ever told you you're too positive?"

"If they did I'd have killed them. These smaller versions of the portal will play a big part in my plan."

"How so? These things barely give off any evil readings, I can hardly sense it, and you know I can sense any evil."

"These portals are like a toxin, if anyone is too near to them it will infect them. I'm going to keep the side effects a surprise. Also, if you can hardly sense them, that means that a low level witch can't sense them at all. They'll be invisible to her. Like, for example, the new guardian.

"I don't want to go to school!" whined Kikyo at the breakfast table. "I have a history test 5th period, it's only the 2nd day!" Kikyo was, like everyone at Crest Academy, stuck in Summer mode. She would much rather be at the mall with her friends than doing homework. (Not that she actually did homework, she paid nerds to do it.)

"Stop whining you slacker!" said Kagome. She was actually ready to go back to school, she couldn't wait to see Sango and InuYasha again. She could hardly get to sleep last night, Allen's face haunted her. At least with her friends she'd feel safer. "Oh my god! What is in your hair!"

"GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!" yelled Kikyo, after that nasty loogie she had become paranoid about her hair. She glared at Kagome. "You freaky little goth! You're just jealous because I'm popular and you're a black-wearing freak! No one at this school likes gothic kids!"

"Mom! You're going to let her say that?" asked Kagome.

"Well, it's true,' said her mother from behind her morning paper. "Can't you just wear pink like all the other girls? The moms that I met from the P.T.A. agree with me, it's kind of scary."

"So you want me to be like every other nail-painting, boy-gossiping, ditzy-pink wearing clone on the Earth?" said Kagome angrily. "Guess what Mom? Not gonna happen! I'm an individual, that just happens to be very dark," she stormed out of the house, not giving her mother time to react. She was happy she had chosen an extremely dark outfit and makeup. She was even more satisfied to see Sango was too. "Hey Sango!"

"Hey Kags! What's up?"

"My mom is trying to run my life! She thinks being gothic is poisoning my mind!"

"Oh my god! De jau vu! My mom was a complete freak at breakfast today! I swear something is going on! Well, today is going to be awesome. We once again have our 5th, 6th, and 7th period. Because Mr. Lensback has "left for personal reasons". A.K.A we totally kicked him back to hell! I heard that we're in a class with all goths! PERFECT! You're going to get along great with everyone! This is the greatest thing that has ever happened!"

But as we all know, when something good usually happens, strings are attached. (At least they are when there is a giant portal of darkness beneath your school.

MCS: "Sorry this was short. I thought I'd give you guys a break after long chapter 4. Well, nothing is going on with me. It's 6:00 A.M. on Tuesday, I can't wait untill power of the pen!"

InuYasha: "Freak."

MCS: "Be nice! Or else I'll make embarrassing things happen to you!"
