FOREVER IN DARKNESS
Chapter 8: REVENGE OF THE GOTHS
Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha or anything you may recognize. (Darn!)
MCS: "Hey Readers! This has been a wonderful week! I've been chosen for the writing team for power of the pen! YAY! Unfortunately, my friend Emmee is an alternate. (What makes it worse is that she's the only alternate. Everyone else made it.) Poor Emmee! Oh well, I'll make sure to cheer her up. Toodles!"
Recovery center A.K.A. City hall
All of the kids had been dragged to the center. Kikyo had seen Kagome and followed her, then she alerted the authorities. Kagome wanted to kill her sister. (Who doesn't want to kill her?) She was sent to a room. A lady that looked psychotically chipper walked in.
"Hello there, you look so much prettier in pink," the goths were forced to change into "appropriate" clothes. "My name is Mrs. White. Yours is Kagome. Your mother and sister have told me a lot about you."
"Really, like what?"
"That you're only going through a phase. That this goth thing isn't permanent. I think they're right. I'm the president of the P.T.A."
"So you're the one that started this! Who voted for you?"
"No one, actually. I remember walking home when I saw a weird, black light. It seemed to disappear, then everyone is telling me what a great president I am. That's when my plan to stamp out goths, or S.O.G, was realized."
"A black light?" Kagome knew this had to be magical. Was it another possession? She could handle another Allen. However, this lady looked like Carroll Brady.(Kagome hated the re-runs of the Brady bunch. It wasn't realistic. PEOPLE AREN'T THAT HAPPY!) "Oh, if only I could remember a spell."
"Spell? A witch!" then the lady pressed a button. "I'm sorry but witchcraft is too far. I'll tell your mother it was painless, if she doesn't want to attend. If you would've just reformed you could've avoided this. Good-bye," then the two burly guys walked in. Then gave Kagome a sedative, she passed out!
City hall, large meeting room
Kagome opened her eyes. She tried to move her arms but found they were tied to her sides. She also noticed that all of the town people were looking up at her. She was tied to a wooden pole! Sango and Millie were tied to the ones next to her.
"Kagome!" Millie said. "They found all of the magi-kids, you and me. Now they've tied us up!"
"Why is Sango here?"
"I tried to help Asa," Sango growled. "I told them that I started the rebellion! They said that they would let us all go! Now they think if I'm gone the goths will fall in line."
"So, what are they going to do?" asked Kagome not wanting to know.
"Oh nothing much," said Sango. "EXCEPT BURN US AT THE STAKE!" Then she started yelling at the crowd. "My dad is a powerful lawyer! He'll make sure you all get the chair if you kill us!"
"Eh, Sango," said Millie. Sango ignored her and kept going.
"You better not harm a hair on my head or my dad will-," said Sango. Millie had kept on pestering. "What Millie?" Millie motioned her head towards her left side. "DAD?" screamed Sango. He was holding a sign that said: Burn them all.
"This isn't good," said Kagome. In the front row Kikyo had a match and a digital camera.
"5 dollars says she isn't under the influence of evil," said Sango.
"I can't make that bet."
"Why not?"
"I don't want to lose 5 dollars."
The creepy lady walked in front of the crowd, preparing to give a speech to the restless crowd. "My fellow townsfolk! Today we are gathered to start a new group of teenagers. A kind group of teenagers. We will start by burning the leader of the rebels, Sango. Her parents would like to say a few words."
"Sango," said her mother. "I failed as a parent to you and your brother. (What's her brother's name?) He's in juvie and you're going to die for rebelling. I hope in the next life you have better parents," then her mother smiled! Her daughter was about to burn to death and she smiled!
"Good-bye baby," said her dad. Then they both turned to the crowd and said. "Thank you for letting us say good-bye. We will now send her away with love," then they struck the match and lit Sango's stake!
"Next," said the woman. "Because Millie's parents don't want to see, and her grandma said it was barbaric for us to do this, we locked them up. So I will strike the match," she struck it and lit Millie's pole! Kagome felt awful, Millie's parents cared about her more than Kagome's mom. They couldn't see their child get burned. They rebelled and stood up for their daughter's life. Kagome's mom didn't flinch when she saw her tied to the pole. Instead, she walked up to the front of the crowd.
"My daughter is Kagome. She is a danger to the community. She will never change or conform. I love you sweetie. This is for your own good", then she lit the match.
"INUYASHA!" yelled Kagome.
"Oh InuYasha," said Kagome. She smiled at him. "I'm so glad that we're here," they were on a beach. It was sunny.
"I know, me too," said InuYasha. "I missed you," he looked around. It was weird, he hadn't remembered ever going to the beach. Also, why was Kagome here? Kagome, he remembered something. Something he was supposed to do or say? He suddenly heard a scream. It called his name!
"AHH!" he said waking up from the dream. This wasn't his bedroom! He remembered. "Kagome! I gotta help her!" He walked out of the room. One of the burly guys looked at him.
"What's he doing up? We gave him enough chloroform to knock him out for a week."
InuYasha pulled out his sword. (Not really smart of the bad guys to not even take away his weapons.) The burly guys smirked and went into their demon forms. InuYasha didn't waste time.
"WIND SCAR!" (Could someone tell me his other attack? I'm having a stupid day and forgot.) The guys were dead before they hit the ground. InuYasha looked at a panel, he pressed the "release" button. All of the imprisoned kids were freed. "This way!" he yelled. He didn't know how, but he knew where to find Kagome.
"Extinguisha!" yelled Millie for the 5th time in a row. The fires were put out. This time the townspeople gagged her, no voice, no spells. Kagome couldn't do that spell, she tried. Sango tried spitting to get the fire out. Kagome thought of an idea.
"Hey Millie! Is there some way that you can give me your power?" Millie shook her head no. Kagome was worried. 'Someone help me.' Suddenly she looked at the lady. She had a mysterious black sphere inside of her. Kagome thought of a spell.
"Evil sphere inside her chest,
Now I lay you down to rest,
Now I will make you die,
This evil now,
PURIFY!"
Suddenly the woman neck turned, she shook with tremendous force. The darkness slowly drifted out of her. It formed into a giant demon. All of the people started to run and scream. Suddenly the goths and InuYasha burst in. InuYasha saw Kagome tied up, he ran and freed them all. He went after the demon.
"It isn't doing anything!" said InuYasha. "It's invincible! We need to stop it somehow! Something is doing this!"
"I can try another spell," said Kahgome.
"Great evil in my midst,
From my eyes,
You have hidst,
Make yourself,
To my eyes real,
Now you shall,
REVEAL!" Suddenly the mini-portal of evil appeared. "What should I do?" suddenly Kagome's hand glowed white, a beam shot into the portal. It closed! The demon evaporated.
"We did it! What should we do now?"
"I think I have an idea," said Millie motioning at the shocked townsfolk.
Kagome's house, living room
"In recent news a mysterious illness swept through our town last night. The fever made us all delusional and paranoid. We almost burned 3 teenagers. The fever burned itself out just in time. When police searched the home of Carroll Sivitzky,(the crazy chipper lady) they found vials containing the illness. Also, police discovered the body of her gothic daughter. Apparently, Mrs. Sivitzky had been abusing her daughter for years. She is mentally insane and waiting trial. That's all for tonight. I'm Phil Jackson, reporting for-," Kagome turned it off.
"So the town thinks the demon and magic were all fake?" she asked.
"Yep, it's a shame about that crazy Carroll. She really did do those evil things," Millie said. "She started telling the cops about an evil portal infecting her. They branded her crazy."
"Good cover story," said Sango. "It is so cool how magic was used to set her up."
"That was only because it was an emergency. Besides, she got the town to rally and burn us. Her hate and the evil demon infecting her made that possible."
"InuYasha," asked Kagome. "How did you hear me? I was so far away that no one should've heard me."
"I don't know," he said. "We must have some kind of connection."
"Tell your friends to go home!" yelled Kikyo. The goth kids had got a little payback for her betrayal. She had a few bruised ribs and a broken arm. "MOM!"
"Honey, tonight is special."
"Why can't I have my friends over?"(MCS: "Because I put enough demons in this chapter!")
"It's a school night. This is a one-time deal for Kagome."
"You're just feeling guilty because you almost burned her to death!" then Kikyo ran away. Her mom followed her.
"Sometimes I seriously wonder if we're really related," said Kagome. "It's still a little weird with my mom. (MCS: "You may have noticed but I have no clue what her mom's name is. HELP PLEASE!")"
"I know," agreed Sango. "My parents are buying me stuff like crazy. I kinda think I'll take advantage of it. Besides, it wasn't really your mom. She was under the influence of evil."
"It still is a little weird. My mom has never liked the fact that I'm goth. This whole thing has made me wonder: What is my mom capable of? She almost burned me to death. Okay guys, even in light of recent events my mom won't let you stay any longer. Bye!"
"Bye!" they all said in unison. InuYasha stared at her, what was he feeling? It was slowly taking over him. He smiled as he left.
"Kagome," said he mom walking over to her. "I-I just wanted to say how sorry I am. You know that I love you, right?"
"I know Mom."
"Deep down a part of me was telling myself that it was wrong, I just couldn't stop myself. I don't ever want anything like that to happen again. I put back all of your clothes in your closet."
"Does that mean you accept me now?"
"Honey," she actually looked surprised. "I will accept you no matter what. I may not like your style or outlook on life, but you are my daughter. I love you."
"I love you too Mom," said Kagome. Then they hugged. Kagome pushed her earlier thoughts out of her mind. Her mom loved her. "I'm going to bed now."
Back in the evil place.
"DARN!" yelled the man.
"What's wrong?" asked the blond girl. "Mad cause your perfect plan wasn't so perfect? I thought she couldn't detect the mini-portal."
"What are you talking about? My plan went as planned. This was only supposed to be a learning experience. I underestimated the guardian's abilities. It won't happen again. Besides, there are more mini-portals."
"I know you, there's something you aren't telling me."
"All in good time, all in good time," then he smiled an evil smile.
