FOREVER IN DARKNESS

Chapter 7: Something isn't right

Disclaimer: If you recognize it I don't own it.

MCS: "Ahh! Where we last left off the teacher was psychotic! Inu had passed out, and Asa was dragged away!"

School

"InuYasha!" yelled Kagome running towards her friend. The teacher stepped in front of her.

"Your friend will be taken to the nurse. GO TO CLASS!" Kagome obeyed, she wanted to resist but after what had happened she knew it wouldn't do any good. Sango ran up to her.

"This is awful! I feel like a jerk!"

"Why?"

"Asa, he-it wasn't him who organized the protest. It was me, he was covering for me. They took him away because of me! He whispered in my ear while I was arguing. He told me they found out and if I wasn't in trouble I could still do the protest."

"Are you gonna?" asked Kagome. She wouldn't mention that Sango hadn't told her at all.

"I was going to tell you about it in study hall. Then I got yelled at," Kagome's heart lightened. So Sango was going to tell her. "We're meeting at Millie's Grandma's shop. Want the address?"

"She gave it to me already, she wanted me to come over to practice spells."

"She's a real witch too?"

"Yeah, we gotta hurry or we'll miss our bus!"

Kagome's house

"Mom, I'm home!" yelled Kagome. She remembered that she was upset at her mother. She ran up the stairs and stopped cold. Something was in her room! She could hear scraping noises. She grabbed a lamp and opened the door. "YAHH!"

"AHHH!" screamed her mother. "Kagome?"

"Mom? Sorry, I thought you were a ... burglar!" She was going to say that she thought she was a demon but that would scare her even more. "What are you doing-," said Kagome when she stopped cold. Her closet was open, no longer were her cool gothic clothes in it, instead there were pink, good-girl outfits. "WHAT DID YOU DO?"

"Calm down Kagome, this was supposed to be a surprise. I went to the P.T.A. meeting, they suggested this to me. It's time you started acting like a normal girl. I have your bad clothes locked in a box. You are never to wear gothic clothing again. You will also show me what you are going to wear each morning before you leave."

"That stupid P.T.A.! They took Asa away!" Kagome was surprised that her mom knew who Asa was.

"I know, he was a trouble maker. He'll be out of questioning once he tells us what he knows. Trouble makers need to be delt with accordingly. We are going to win this war."

"WHAT WAR? You're talking about teenagers here! Not criminals! Who cares if they want to be gothic? Can't you learn to accept people?"

"No, I can't. You need to conform. Be like everyone else. We've set up a counseling center for those who want to change their gothic ways. You are going there in an hour. I will be back in an hour," then Kagome's mom pushed her into her room and quickly closed the door. Kagome tried to get out, her mom had locked it from the outside!

"MOM! LET ME OUT!" she heard nothing. "Okay, this is very bad. I know! The window!" she ran to her bedroom window. She had a window and a glass door that let out onto the balcony. The glass door was locked with a heavy padlock, the window was nailed shut. "Looks like Mom accounted for everything. Except magic!" she grabbed her spell book and flipped through pages. "Where is it? There!" She held her hand towards the window. "UNLOCKIOUS!" the window opened. "I've got a rally to go to!"

Counseling Center:

InuYasha opened his eyes, he groaned. His head really hurt. What had happened? His eyes rolled around, the room was dizzy. The last thing he remembered was protecting his friends. Friends...that was it! He had passed out when he had hit that wall.

'Wait,' he thought. 'Those guys, they threw me like a baseball. No human could've done that. They must be demon bodyguards, who hired them? Dudes that strong don't come cheap. If I had my guard up I could've beat them. Why can't I think straight?' Suddenly a woman walked in, she looked like Mrs. Brady. She smiled a psychotic puppet-like smile.

"Hello, you're awake. You had a bit of a nasty bump on your head. Are you feeling better?"

"I-," said InuYasha. It took a large portion of energy to get that word out. Forget about sentences. He was feeling sleepy. "Wh-did- you-gi-."

"We gave you a sedative to make you sleep. However your demon half is fighting to stay awake. I didn't know how much I should give you, so I gave a little amount to be safe. I don't want you overdosing now. That wouldn't be nice. Besides, we need you to stay alive."

"Wha-do-."

"I want to live in a perfect world. Where there's no crime, no violence, and children always obey their parents. No more of this rebellion. No more goths!"

InuYasha tried to stand up. 'I gotta warn Kagome. This psychotically-chipper 20's mom is going to kill her!

"Oh no no no!" she said sweetly. "You're far too injured!" He tried to push her down and keep going. "You naughty little child! If you won't obey doctors orders then I guess I'll have to use force! Bruno!" one of the burly guys walked in and put a rag with chloroform over InuYasha's mouth. He tried to fight but the creepy lady injected him with thorzene. He fell to the ground, his thoughts were: Kagome, I gotta warn you. Then he drifted into unconsciousness.

Millie's Grandma's shop:

"Kagome ran to the shop. She didn't want her mother to see her. She started pounding on the door, "Let me in! Let me in! Please!"

Millie came to the door, "Oh my god, Kags? Where did you come from? Come on in, hurry."

"What's going on? All of the adults are in insane! My mom tried to lock me in my room! She said I'd better conform or else."

"Most of the goth kids have been captured by their parents and forced to go to some recovery center. I have no clue what will happen to them if they resist, but it can't be good. I know I said I'd teach you some spells, but with everything that's going on," Millie stopped. "Quick! Run to our secret basement!" Kagome followed Millie to a bookcase with a hidden door in it. They quickly got to the basement. It was huge! "This used to be some kind of storage place. Sango's about to give us a speech!" They ran into a huge crowd of gothic kids. They were all united, Sango was on a stage.

"My fellow goths! It doesn't take a genius to figure out that something weird is going on! We are being hunted and chased like criminals! This is barbaric! I say we take a stand! Stop the oppressors! Up with liberty! Down with tyranny! Who's with me?"

Everyone started cheering. Suddenly a door was kicked open, "FREEZE!" Everyone started to run away and scatter. There were too many intruders! They were using nets and other things to capture the kids. (MCS: "Not the tazers!") Kagome tried to run but got captured.

"Who? I thought no one knew we were here!" Then a voice said evil.

"Oh sister dear! You didn't think I would follow you, did you?"

MCS: "AHH! Captured! Things don't look good for our trio! What's with the crazy 20's mom? Will InuYasha come to save Kagome? Will Kikyo get beaten up by the gothic kids? All these questions and more will be answered in chapter 8!"
