FOREVER IN DARKNESS

Chapter 6: Classification

disclaimer: If you recognize it, I don't own it. However I do own the character Millie! I made her up! Completely mine!(Smeagle voice.) The precious character.(I also own all of the goth kids besides Kagome and Sango.)

MCS: "Hey everybody! It's Wednesday! I'm really sad because our p/p meeting got cancelled. Oh well, we still have the Thursday one! I read the funniest fanfic ever!"

Kikyo: "No one cares about you! Get back to the story!"

MCS: "Remind me to make awful things happen to you!"

Crest Academy

"Hey guys!" said InuYasha as he skated by.

"I thought I broke that," said Kagome.

"Oh, I have a hundred of these. All I have to do is press a button and I can get another one."

"AND YOU FREAKED OUT AT ME!" yelled Kagome.

"God, what's your problem?" asked InuYasha. Suddenly an evil glint appeared in his eye. Sango made "do it and I'll kill you" motions behind Kagome's back. "Oh, I see."

"You don't know anything!" said Kagome irritably. InuYasha had this way of pressing all of her buttons. She stomped off. Sango looked at InuYasha sideways.

"Why would you do that?" She demanded.

"What?" he asked innocently.

"Don't pull that crap on me. I've known you for forever!"

"When'd she break up with the loser?"

"Last night, and you're not going to hassle her! Got it?"

"I can't make any promises. After all, I wouldn't mind getting a piece of that!"

"EWWW! GROSS! INUYASHA! IF I HEAR ONE THING ABOUT YOU HITTING ON KAGOME I'LL KILL YOU!" then Sango ran to catch up to Kagome. InuYasha muttered as he followed her.

"God they were moody. Are all the girls I know p.m.s.ing today?"

Inside the school: lunch

"Hey Sango?" asked Kagome. She was holding her lunch tray and standing around.

"Yeah? Oh, we sit over here," she said pointing to the gothic table.

"That's not what I'm talking about," Kagome was talking about the fact that all of the other groups were sitting as far away from the goth kids as possible. They were totally classified.

"I thought I was just imaging that. Weird. Let me introduce you to the group. This is Asa," Asa was wearing black and a signature color, blue. Next was Millie, she was wearing black and a light purple. Charlie was wearing black and electric green. E.T.C.

"Hey," said Kagome.

"Hey," said Millie. "We have the same class next. Chemistry, the teacher is a total loser who gives you a higher grade if you wear pink. He said my outfit was a disgrace to girls everywhere. Sango, did you hear about that freaky P.T.A. lady? She's trying to stamp out goths everywhere. She wants to ban wearing black, and forbid gothic music in the schools."

"No way! I'll get my dad to fix this!"

Kagome couldn't say anything, she didn't know ½ of the people that they were talking about. Millie must've picked up on this because after lunch she said, "I'll walk you to your locker. We can talk about all of the stuff that you've missed."

Kaggy's locker

"Thank you so much," said Kagome opening her locker. Suddenly a very thick book fell out. "Are you okay!"

"Chill, it barely hit me," said Millie picking it up. Kagome cringed, she felt like an idiot. Why had she brought her spell book to school? Now Millie would think that she was a freak.

"Here's your... spell book?" said Millie.

"Umm, it was a gift from my aunt!" said Kagome taking it back. She put it in her locker, she was so embarrassed. She didn't give Millie a chance to speak, she ran away. She didn't want to go to chemistry, so she went to the school roof.

Kagome was sitting on the roof, wondering if she had made a mistake. She breathed heavy. She heard a voice behind her.

"You gonna jump?" it was a heavenly voice. Kagome thought it sounded alone, like a wolf.

"Huh? Oh, NO! Why would you think that?" she turned around and faced the boy. He had silver hair and was tall. He was probably only a grade ahead of her.

"Well, you're on the roof. Also, you look like you're really depressed. You probably have something to live for, then again, your life. If you want it to end I don't think I should stop you."

"Please tell me you're not with the crisis intervention people. Because I gotta tell you, you're persuasive talk sucks. No, I'm not jumping, I'm here because I'm afraid I made a fool of myself."

"You shouldn't care what people think."

"Do you?"

"Yeah."

"Then what kind of advice is that?" asked Kagome. Man, this dude really was the quiet type.

"I'm a walking hypocrite so do as I say and not as I do. I'm blowing off a study hall, you?"

"Chemistry," said Kagome disgustedly. "What's your name?"

"You don't need to know it," then he walked away. Kagome got back just as chemistry was ending. Millie walked out, she smiled at Kagome.

"Hey! Where did you go?"

"I had to think about some things. How long do I have detention?" Kagome groaned.

"You don't have it, I told the teacher you felt sick. He was so busy he didn't think I was lying. About that spell book," Kagome felt nervous. "How long have you been a practicing witch?"

"2 days," admitted Kagome. "How did you know it was a spell book?"

"I've been around so many that I guess I just know one when I see it. I've been practicing witch craft for a year now. I mean, real magic. If you want I could show you some spells. Tonight at my house?" Millie asked. She took her finger and ran it through her blond hair with black streaks in it. "My Gran owns a magic shop. You can come there," then she handed Kagome a slip of paper with the address on it. "Come on! Our cool all goth study hall is next!"

"Awesome," said Kagome . They walked into the study hall. Sango waved and motioned for them to sit by her. They did, Sango whispered.

"This is a little weird. InuYasha and a jock are in this class, I thought it was all goths."

"SANGO!" hissed the teacher. "You are not to talk during this study hall! You have 2 detentions!"

"TWO? Whispering is supposed to get a warning!"

"I will say what offenses get warnings! I am the adult!" A few minutes later the jock whispered to InuYasha. "Mr. Kelnin. Talking is not allowed, you have 2 more warnings. Ah, what the heck, you can talk. Good luck at the game on Friday!" Sango's face turned red from anger. Sango never knew when to shut up, this was a weakness and a strength. She would always say what was on her mind.

"Excuse me!" she said walking up to the female teacher. "WHY IS IT THAT WHEN I WHISPER I GET A WARNING BUT WHEN HE WHISPERS HE GETS OFF EASY? AM I IMAGINING THIS? CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO ME? WELL? CAN YOU?"

"Go back to your seat Sango, now," said the teacher threateningly.

"No," said Sango defiantly.

'What is she doing?' thought Kagome frantically. 'If she keeps this up she'll get expelled. Something isn't right here, all of this is connected. I can feel it. God Sango, sit down! Please!'

In the end it was Asa who stopped it. He walked up to Sango and whispered in her ear. Kagome couldn't hear what it was. Sango calmed down. She walked back to her seat.

"I'm sorry for the way I behaved. It was very rude of me," forced Sango. You could tell she choked the words out. Then she forced what looked like a smile.

Suddenly two burly men walked in, they marched over to Asa's desk. One of them spoke.

"Say good-bye Asa. We're taking you away. We have reason to believe that you are planning a protest against the new president of the P.T.A. For your defiance you will be taken to a remote location for further questioning," then they forcibly started to drag him out of the room. All of the goth kids reacted. They jumped on the men and started to yell.

"HEY! Let Asa go!"

"Get off of him! He hasn't done anything!"

"This isn't legal! You're defying his rights!"

"What happened to freedom of speech? You can't take him away for protesting!" The burly men motioned for the jock and InuYasha. The jock started ripping kids off of the men. InuYasha pulled the jock away just as he was about to get Sango and Kagome. He barked.

"THAT'S ENOUGH! Let the kid go!" one of the burly men laughed and threw InuYasha like he weighed nothing. InuYasha crashed into the wall. He passed out. The men looked at the kids with a "stop or you're next" look. They couldn't get off of them faster. They all watched, terrified and powerless as the men dragged Asa away. The teacher acted like nothing had happened.

"Okay children, see you tomorrow."

"This is insane!" said Sango. "InuYasha's passed out in a corner, Asa's been taken prisoner by the P.T.A., and I have two detentions! We have to find out what's going on!"

Kagome looked at the other classrooms. In each one there was a specific group. She knew why InuYasha and that kid were in their class. They were there to keep them in line, stop them from rebelling. They were also classifying them. Kagome wanted to be wrong, that it was all just coincidence, or a nightmare. But in her heart she knew she was wrong. She remembered a phrase she had heard last year: Divide and conquer.

MCS: "AH! And you thought your school had some twisted teachers! What's going on? Well, I know but I'm not telling. It's snowing outside, it looks so pretty. I hope I have a snowday so I can write instead of go to school. Knowing my retarded school district I'll never have a snowday."

InuYasha: "I thought that chappie sucked. You left me passed out in a corner!"

MCS: "That raises a question for my readers, how were they able to do that? After all, InuYasha is just as powerful as he is in the series."
