The Gates of Hell
"Don't you just love camping?!" Trinity chirped, gathering sticks for the fire Sim was starting.
"The way I love an oozie up my..."
"MOVE-ing on." she was interupted.
A large black dog came bursting through the foliage nearby. "It" had red eyes and foamed slightly.
"Cute doggie..." Trinity smiled at the bristleing canine.
"KILL OTEROUS! KILL!" shouted a man who obviously owned the dog.
Sim found herself faceing the wrong end of a battle ax.
"You're not the Pope." he frowned.
"God I hope not." Trin mummbled.
Simoriah shot her a death glare.
The ax droped to his side.
"Leave it to a woman to ruin my day." he mumbled.
"Well ex-cuse me for not being named John Paul XXI!" She was indignet...and not sure why...
The towering stranger steped forward eclipseing both women in his shadow. Trinity gulped nervously. Oterous knawed on a large lizard.[Which was shrieking horribly. It was latter identified as a kimono dragon] Much to everyone's suprise the guy held out his hand.
"I'm Jake."
"How...nice?"
"I'm Trinity!" The blonde perked up.
He glanced at her. Looked her up and down.
"Not a total loss." he remarked.
"Dad, Is the old bastard dead yet?" Another person joined the marry band.
"No." Jake snarled in the general direction of the teenager.
"Great. I knew you'd mess up again."
The battle ax swung over his head, barely missing and he was silent.
"I think we've strayed from the subject here." Sim interjected the father-son bonding. "Who the hell are you and what the hell are you doing here?"
"I already told you who I am , woman. And I'm here to kill the pope. Duh."
"WELL!" Trinity tried despretly to change the mood. "Why don't you have a seat and tell us all about you and your charming son."
"Can I have her, Dad?" Lucifer motioned to Trin."She's kinda preety."
"Sure. Why not."
She moved to the other side of the camp site.
Sim lit a match and droped it into the pile of tinder. It slowly caught and became a small fire.
"Let's put some gasoline on it!" Jake smiled wickedly.
"NO!!" The two women yelled in unison. Lucifer rolled his eyes.
"Why are we wasteing time?" he moaned. "You could have killed the pope by now and I could be back in my room contimplateing mass murder."
"Shut up ya little shit! We're bonding!"
"Why don't we off him together! I have a gun in my bag. I can go get it and we can shot him together! It'll be great!"
"Not now." Jake grumbled, sitting down.
"Why not?!"
"I'm thirsty."
"So?"
"You know as well as I do that in order to properly desicrate the corpse you have to piss on it and right now i'm runnin' on empty."
"Sake'?" Simoriah offered.
***
"And then I cut off his head!" Jake said with disturbing glee.
"Yeah? with what?" a somewhat tippsy Sim was skeptical. Trinity snored loudly from the pile of bushes she'd passed out in.
"WITH MY DICK!! AND BLOOD CAME OUT OF HIS NECK AND THERES NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT BECASUE I'M A MAD MAN!!!"
All who were conshious laughed hysterically.
"Someone should really tell you that wrestling is staged before you hurt yourself." Lucifer sugested. Scarrily enough he was the only sober one.
"Don't you have a goat to rape or something?"
"That's your fetish, Dad. Not mine."
"Smartass bastard. Should have never conceived you in the first place." he pushed a bottle of....something alchoholic into Lucifers' hands.
"Drink up and pass out."
"I'm fifteen! Are you crazy?!"
"Probably."
"But you said you were 27..." Sim slurred.
"I am." Jake snickered.
"That means you were twelve when..." she smiled knowingly and punched his arm. "You devil."
"You have no idea."
***
"You should be ashamed of yourself!" Lucifer fussed as he drug his father off to one side of the clearing so he could sleep it off without haveing to rollover into the bonfire. (something tells me he'd feel right at home if he did anyway)
"How did you know?" Sim asked, giggling.
"Know what?"
"I told those damn underwear nomes to keep their mouths shut!" Sim shouted [incredibly intoxicated]
"Sim. You need to be put on drugs QUICKLY!" Trinity snickered. comming to.
"ALRIGHT!" Jake shouted, sitting up "NOW WE CAN HAVE AN ORGY!!"
Trin just threw a rock at him and rolled around in the dirt for a while.
***
"And this is the pit where we tourture the damned souls." Jake pionted to the black abyss to the left of the tour walkway.
Sim and Trin ran to that side to see.
"And here," he pointed to the right "is the feild of bloody heads impailed upon sticks."
The girls ran to the other side and Trinity took a picture.
"You have a gift shop around here?" Sim asked.
"Very intelegent." Lucifer quiped.
"Can it or I'll throw you into the pit where we tourture the christians!" the master of hell threatened.
"Not again!"
"DO YOU HAVE A GIFT SHOP?" Sim repeated.
"What decent pit of dispair dosen't?"
"What is that, you're eating?" Trinity stared in disgust at what was in Jake's hands.
"I think it's a foot, but hey, I could be wrong."
"Couldn't you at least cook it first?" Sim scrunched up her nose.
"Ah its all good." he smiled, wipeing blood from his mouth and throwing what was left of his meal to a pack of hell hounds.
***
"Who's 'Lavay'?" Trinity asked, holding up a t-shirt.
"The dark pope." Jake answered simply.
"Keep hell beautiful. Get tatooed." Sim read the next shirt. "Very intresting..."
"Lookie!" Trin squeeked "Hail Satan cooking mits!"
"Ohhh...check this out!" Sim pointed to a poster. "'Mortal Decay'". You're famous Jake!"
"I know." he smiled to himself.
"NOW, Moving on" Jake said as he turned heading for the gateway out.
***
Jake, Lucifer, Sim, Trinity, and Oterous found themselves in a graveyard that stunk of rotting flesh. Jake took a deep breath,smiled and said:"AH, Just like home!!"
Sim pinched her nose .
"This is so fricken nasty!"
Lucifer ran back to the gateway to hell and left them alone in the yard of the DEAD. Jake then walked toward an open grave with a molded out old casket in such bad shape you can see the maggots moving on the flesh of the dead in the box. Jake jumped down the the grave and ripped open the casket lid
MorbidOrb: looking at the moving pile of rot before him, he then reached down with his left hand and ripped a chunk off the corpses arm down to the bone and left the hole and offered the smelly, moving, green lump of muscle and flesh to sim and trenity. they looked in discust, Sim looked and saw it moving and the smell and vomited right on Jakes shoe. Jake looked down and said.
"You had chicken for lunch?"
Sim whiped the vomit from her chin and replied rudely
"Screw you, sick freak!"
Jake smiled and scarcasticly
"Thanks, here have a bite!!!"
Jake jumped at sim shoving the peice of maggot meat into her face, rubbing it and pressing it into her mouth. Sim tried to scream as Jake lay on top of her savagly forcefeeding her the discusting mess.
Trinity stood laughing as Jake cursed out loud, Sim kneed Jake in the groin, he gasped and rolled off Sim yelling:"You bitch, your stupid bitch!!!"
Sim stood up spitting and whiping her face, she then turned tord Jake curled up holding his testicles. She looked at him angerly and then kicked him 3 times in the ribs while yelling.
"You BASTARD, you sick cock sucker!!!!"
Jake just lay their trying to swat away her pumps hiting him in the ribs.Sudenly Jake cought her foot and forced her to fall backwards into the open grave and onto the dead corpse. A rat crawled out of the mouth of the dead and onto Sim's face!! Jake kneeled over the grave as Sim screamed bloody murder, Jake coulden't help but laugh. Groping his own nuts after the savage knee to his pride and JOY he watched her panacking from the edge of the grave and yelled down to her: "Stupid bitch, I hope you die down there!"
He then stood , unzipped and started to releave himself in the grave and on Sim. She scrambled out of the grave and punched the lord of hell in the jaw knockeing him to the ground. He was out cold, Trinity and Simoriah stormed out toward the gate but finding themselves locked in the gateway of hell.
They decided to camp out until Jake woke up to let them out. After 2 hours Sim and Trinity got tired, not knowing that Jake was already awake and awaiting their slumber. Soon they bolth were sleeping like babies, Jake rolled over and sat up with an evil smile on his demonic face. He stood over Trinity with a book of spells in his hands and mumbled some words in another language (i will edit it into russian when i find out what i want).Trinity started to rise from the ground, Jake got louder and louder. Trinity started to turn and breath heavy, Sim heard the noise and awoke seeing Jake chanting over the body of her cousin. She quickly went and knocked the book from his hands. He stopped the chant and turned toward Simoriah.Seconds later Trinity fell to the ground with a thud. Jake stood with his hands to his sides and said:"You IDIOT"
"You're calling ME an idiot?! What in hell were you trying to do?!"
"What in HELL..." he sighed, leaning against a tall gravestone "How elegantly put! What in HELL."
"My butt hurts." Trin moaned from the ground. She starred blankly into space.
"Oh great. How an I going to explain this to Shiroi?" Sim slapped her cousin several times to make sure she wouldn't snap out of it.
"She's a zombie." Lucifer pointed out. .
"Ya think?!" Sim snapped at Jake's son.
Oterous sniffed the blonde woman laying rigidly on the ground and hiked a leg. No one made an attempt to stop him
"It's your fault, woman."Jake interupted the spat smugly.
"I have a NAME you know....and what do you mean it's MY fault! You did this to her!"
"YOU interupted the spell." he pointed out.
"I hate you."
"All in a day's work." he smiled.
"Look, just fix her and let us out of here."
"What if I don't want to?"
"Huh?!"
"I'm haveing fun with you girls. You make wonderful toys."
Sim gave a shrill look before saying:"Common you can't leave her like this"
Jake smiled.
"I can do what I want and their is nothing you can do about it ,woman!"
Then he pushed her back a few steps. She stepped forward and tried to punch him again, Jake ducked and then punched her in the jaw while making the noise with his mouth "Voom" She was sent reeling to the floor.Lucifer was turned around petting Oterous. Sim whiped the blood from her mouth and then reached out taking a dagger from Lucifers' pants and swung around driving the knife into the calf of Jake. He fell to the ground with a growl. Sim lunged at Jakes' neck with the knife. Jake put his hands out stopping the knife from stabbing him in the throat. Sim looked pissed as she staired him in the eyes trying to force the knife down, Jake layed their trying not to laugh but also seriously trying to stay alive. while looking at her he quietly said:"Oh yea"
She looked at him and wondered what he ment, then with a smile he winked at her and let her fall knife first into his throat. Blood splattered onto her face and on the ground. Lucifer heard this and quickly turned to see Jake bleeding, and dead on the ground.
"Dad!" He shouted, in shock before lungeing at Sim. He takled her and punched her in the face. All the while he kept screaming: "YOU BITCH! YOU BITCH! YOU BITCH!"
He got off of her and knelt beside his father.
"I promise your death will not be in vain!" He vowed.
The sound of laughter filled the air as Jake Morbid sat up and took the knife from his throat. "We're at the gate's off hell you stupid bastard! I can't die!"
The Lucifer pushed his father back into his own blood then said
"Bitch!"
Jake kept on laughing, Sim sat on the ground and quietly said
"Shit, I can't kill the fucker"
"Nope. I'm afraid you're stuck with me, sweetheart." he taunted. "But look on the bright side, I can't kill you either."
"Dandy." she mumbled. "Just dandy. Can we get out of here please?"
"No."
She sighed and sat on a gravestone that read :
Roses are red
Vilots are blue
You're dead
Boo hoo hoo
~This really is hell. Things can't get any worse!~
"Fancy meeting you here!" a familiar voice wispered in her ear.
"I spoke to soon...hi Shini."
"Oh, so you two've meet?" Jake nodded, unsuprised.
"You could call it that." Shinigami answered.
He walked over to the zonked out Trinity and kicked her slightly.
"She's a zombie."
"Why does everyone keep saying that?!" Simoriah shreiked, looseing her pacience.
"It's a bloody picnic." Lucifer remarked, ignoreing her outburst.
"I'll say. Foot?" Jake offered Shinigami part of a corpse.
"No thanks. I've already had lunch today."
"HELL-O!!" Sim stood on top of a monumental grave marker. "I wanna go home and I want my cousin back, so if you don't mind, could one of you "gentalmen" "she signaled the qoute unquote with her fingers "Please HELP ME OUT?!"
Everyone starred at her blankly for a moment before bursting out in laughter. They went on with their conversation. As it turns out, there's a convention every year for all the sinister gods , and lords of the seven realms of hell to get together and disguss various things. No suprise there.
Jake turned his head and looked at Shini, he gave a disrespection laugh at him then looked at Sim.
"So now that were here lets kill Trinity, while she's a zombie its possable to kill her if we cut her head off and feast upon it"
Sim looked, shook her head and walked away to the other side of the graveyard. Shini looked at Jake and said.
"Uh, NOT cool!"
Jake smiled
"What?" in a nonknowing voice.
Shini just looked at him, Jake gets the idea and in a calm yet insulting voice says "Pussy" and walks off tord Sim. She was half way across the graveyard when Jake caught up with her. She didnt hear him aproch so he wispered in her ear.
"So now that were alone, how about a little action!!" and then he grabbed her ass.
Sim turned and Jake smiled and raised his eyebrow.
"You're kidding, right?"
"No."
She began to laugh.
"I don't think so."
"Ah,this is what I would do to you, Sim!!!!" He cheered, humping a tree."Goddamnit. I got a motherfucking splinter!!"
"Serves you right." Sim nodded her satisfaction.
"Aww, common."
"DO I LOOK LIKE A GOAT TO YOU?!"
"As a matter of fact you do." Jake said as he pulled the splinter out. Sim looked at him and put her hands on her hips.
"Ooh you're such a lady charmer.... ass"
"I know" Jake said as he put his finger in his mouth. Sim started walking again.
"Where the fuck are you going?" Jake said as he jogged after her, she pointed toward the stone wall. He stopped and laughed and yelled "Good luck wench!!"
Sim made it to the wall and looked down to see nothing not even ground it was as if she found the edge of hell. Jake walked up from behind her and put her arm across her sholders.
"Ah its a great view." He tried to kiss Sim who quickly jumped from his arms and onto the stone wall .
"I rather fall that fuck you!" she spat.
She jumped off the stone wall, Jake put one hand over his head and nodded disaprovingly. Then a scream was heard Jake smiled and turned around to see Sim fall face first into the ground. Jake looked and said "There is no escape, you know.."
Sim glared at him and spit out a mouth ful of dirt and grass
"AHHHHH" she raged.
"I tried to warn you but nooooo."
"Can it, devil boy." Simoriah hissed, brushing herself off.
"You flatter me." he grinned.
"You're the biggest dick I've ever met, you know that?" she turned to walk back to the others.
"You like me don't you?"
"Is it my purfume or something, because you're the third guy today to assume that I actualy give a flying rat's ass about you."
"Ah, but assdust turns me on, baby."
"I think I'm going to be sick."
"That's not exactly the reaction I was hopeing for..."
"Jerk." she sighed. "Next you'll be saying 'Hey I lost my number, can I have yours?'"
"As a matter of fact I was.... if I had a phone."
"Shut up"
"Aww thats not very lady like.. commom give it a blow.
" Get the hell AWAY FROM ME" she screamed.
"Son of a bitch, your like women from Earth, you try to hit on them and they scream rape, gotta be a girl thing"
"AHHHH" Sim groned as she ran to camp with Jake jackin his jaws behind her. Shini was sitting on a log reading a love story with fabio on the cover. Jake looked at this guy closely and circled him thinking to him self "Fag??"
He couldent beleve it. Jake walked behing him and whispered in his ear.
"Gay?"
Shini turned
"Fuck you"
Jake jumped back and said "UGGG goddamn fag!!!"
He picked up his battle ax and swung once decapitating his fellow god of death. Jake went and picked up the detached head which started talking to him..
"You better put me back on my body you stupid fuck!"
Jake looked at it,
"Shut up fag before I rip out your eyes and feed them to gay birds to feed their gay children"
"Damnit I'm not GAY!!" Shini said
Jake looked and said " The hell you are."
"Lay off him, okay?" Sim stepped forward, took the head from Jake and gave it back to her creator.
"Woman, I didn't know you were gay too." Jake smiled. "No wonder you turned me down."
"Too much information!" Lucifer shouted, covering his ears.
"I'm not gay and neither is Shinigami."
"Prove it."
"I dont have to prove anything to you." she got in his face.
"Awww." Jake hugged her.
"You really do like me don't you?"
"See, I knew from the start that we had this connection..."
"Actually, I just felt it on my leg."
"Oh. Damn." he let her go.
"Why is it that you people have the need to cut my head off?" Shini interupted, snapping his neck into place.
Jake looked at him.
"Well you just got one of thos necks"
He turned and looked back saying: "Let's get some damn sleep, becides its past Lucifers bedtime"
Jake headed for another open grave and jumped in it, Lucifer sat on the ground mumbling to him self, Shini sat down holding his head in place and Sim stood motionless.
"That was odd." she finally muttered.
"Well, you heard the man. Let's go to bed." Shini smiled.
"Get away from me."She chose a tomb stone, leaned against it, and went to sleep.
***
"Good morning, sunshine."
Simoriah opened her eyes to find herself face to face with Jake. She screamed and jumped away.
"I see you slept well." he noted.
"Where's Shini?"
The god of death was nowhere to be found.
"He went home I guess." Jake shrugged.
"My head hurts..." Trin groaned, sitting up.
"Trinity! You're okay!" Sim hugged her cousin.
"Yeah, but this is one hell of a hang over."
"Well, it was nice of you to visit. Bye-bye now!" Jake bowed slightly and opened the gate...
*OWARI*
This would be Sim and Shini's "wedding". I bassed it off of the movie "Legend"
"Where in hell...?" Sim wondered, opening her eyes. Go to sleep in bed next to Gohan and wake up on the floor of some strange castle, alone. She stood up and examined her new surroundings.An enormous chamber draped with black cloth surrounded by tall Baroque columns. Winged demons writhed in the shadows above. A long black table reached down the centre of the room. All was lit by firelight. The gaping hearth, with its entablature of monumental sculpture, is flanked by a pair of massive ebony thrones. Suddenly something weird and mysterious approached her from out of the shadows. It was a magnificent high-collared black gown, waltzing like a ghost across the black marble floor. And there was no one wearing the garment! Fascinated, Simoriah watched the dress circle towards her. She found it irresistable. Taking hold of the gown's empty sleeves she begins to dance, spinning round and round to the impulsive music. Not really haveing control of her own feet, and not really careing. Sim danced by herself, turning slow dreamy circles before the blazing fire. To her suprise she found herself the splendid black gown! This happening registered in the back of her mind as oddly familiar. Reflected firelight glittered in the shadows. An open jewel box had spilled its sparkling treasure onto an ornate table. She was is lured like a moth to the flame. After all, she was the cat curiosity killed.She steped up onto an oversized footstool by the table. The ebony casket was brimming with gemstones. She couldn't beleive what she was seeing. No one in their right mind would leave such things just lieing about! A carved ebony figure of a skeleton turns slowly out of the centre of the box, holding in its up lifted arms the most exquisite black diamond necklace the mind can imagine. The little Oni sucked in her breath. The temptation is too great. She impulsively took the necklace and hops down from the stool. Even she had too admire this lovely peice of jewlry.The high collar of her gown made fastening the clasp difficult and without thinking, she backed towards the wall, fumbling behind her neck. She leaned against a sculpted marble frieze of souls in torment, concentrating on the tricky clasp. All at once, a piece of sculpture became animated. Powerful arms reach out to fasten the necklace. For a moment Simoriah doesn't notice, grateful for the help. Then, she realises what is happening and screamed despite herself. The musular black arms reached for her as she pulled away in terror. Sim turned to run, but was stopped short by her reflection in a tall cheval glass mirror. She looks furtively about, making certain she is unobserved. Alone, she admired her perfect image.
"We're all intitled to a little vanity, ne?" she spoke to herself. Beneath Simoriah's pleased expression the face of Shinigami appeared like a man emerging from under water. He penetrated the surface of the mirror and Simoriah backed away, gasping soundlessly with suprise. Shini steped forth through the glass into the room, clad in black finery. He always did know how to make an entrance. She steped back quickly, silently curseing at him for startleing her so. She starte to yell at him but changed her mind. ~This is his terriotory~ she reminded herself. ~Up top he's laughable, here, he's deadly~ Shinigami reached to embrace her and she took another step back. As he touched her shoulder she slumped to the ground, unconcious. Shinigami stood over her, he smiled sadistacly as he knelt down beside her and rolled a lock of her hair between his fingers.
"So soft.." he wispered to no one, his smile increaseing.
Once Sim began to open her eyes she was horrified to find Shinigami kneeling over her and instinctively tries to get away.
"Do not be afraid, lady.... " he crooned."I mean you no harm. "
Sim snarled as he offered her his hand.
"How like you my gifts...? Does the gown not please you? Come.... tell me.... "
He pulled her up onto her feet. She brushed off her black satany skirts wordlessly.
" The colour is most suitable... We sanctify the death of the old world and the birth of a new order....
You are the guest of honour. "
"Honour? What do you know about that?" she finaly spoke to him. Her words were venoumus. Shini realized that he had angered her, but also knew that she was plenty scared. He moved closer to her, a serious expression. Sim began to tug at the dress "Take this away. I don't want it."
" Your soul in like some dark nectar.... I cannot rest until I taste its sweetness. "
Evidently in his own dark relms his old habbits of speech returned to him. This wasn't the corny god of death she was acustomed to. Her heart began to beat faster.
" Never! I hate you! I hate this dress! "
"Can you speak so of your bridal gown....? "
"Say WHAT?!"
Simoriah slumped to the cold stone floor, tears ran from her eyes. She couldn't stand the helplessness. Shini bent solicitously over her.
" Why the tears?" he asked, genuanly confused.
"Gohan."
"Why weep for him? Things have not been going so well, have they? You don't think he really cares about you,do you. None of them really loved you Sim. None of them."
"He's my husband!"
" Yes.... But why mourn? You have a new and grander destiny!"
" Consort of some cowardly vile toad who slinks through the night!"
~Oh great. Now I'm talking like him! That's it. The Hell fumes have gotten to me!~
" Not so! I requite to shadow's solace and dark of the night.... Light is my destroyer!"
" You think you're so powerful....you grovle for Lex, and she's not even a Goddess!"
" This too will change. A unicorn dies tonight....!As her blood ebbs, the sun sets forever.
There shall never be another dawn! And my powers will be returned to me!!"
" No....! You can't....You mustn't....I like the sun!"
Shinigami just laughed.
" My dominion shall encompass the enternal night!"
Simoriah stared at Shinigami with terror and loathing.
Had this been his goal all along? To throw the universe into eternal darkness, kill everything? Trinity, Kitty, Jaga, Gohan, all of her children? Did he hate the world so much, or was that just what the god of death does?
"The world shall be at last as nature intended....a place of chaos and anarchy!"
" You're nuts!"
" Aye, Lady, and proud to be so! For in madness lies the soul of all that's noble.... Can you fathom the loneliness of untold eons lived in darkness? My spirit was forged in that black fire...."
" You live alone because you are demented! No one can stand you! Not even Lex, not even me!"
" Nay, mistress. I've found my mate and you know it. We're just alike, you and I. Beneath the skin
we are already one."
" Never!"
" 'Twas your sin trapped yourself here, and deep down you've always wanted this. You were born to this!
Even now, the evil seed of what you've done blooms within you!"
"Shut up! You lie! You're repulsive!!"
Shini was stung by her words.
" No more so than you! Can't you sense it? That is why I desire you. I need someone to share the dark secrets of my soul."
" You....? You disgust me! You're nothing but a beast!"
" Everyone is a beast....only most are afraid to see it! Close your eyes and you will see it!"
She saw visions of Ashita, someone she thought she had long forgotten. How could he have killed a child so mercylessly?? Then she was taken back even farther, to a small planet she had destroyed when she was only thirteen. A little girls cowered in front of her, she held the shild by her hair. She could hear her sobbing and begging. Simoriah killed her. Simoriah smiled. In shock she opened her eyes
"NO! IT'S ALL TRICKS! I COULDN' HAVE..."
"Hush now." Shinigami compeled Sim over to the mirror with the force of his will. She saw her reflection in the glass. Her features alter into those of a cat-like beast.
" This mirror shows how we really are....Behold your true reflection."
She pulled free from his grap and turned away from the glass. Her face remained unchanged.
" No! You're working magic on me! I won't believe it!"
" My Lady misjudges me... I am no common trickster.... look at you hands!"
Simoriah's fingers transformed before her eyes: hooked claws spring from their tips, coarse black hair pushes the skin.
" My mirror never lies."Shini taunted.
Simoriah's face underwent the same tranmutation shewitnessed in the mirror. She feelt fur-covered sheeks and pointed ears. This time, she screamed hystericaly. Shini placeed a protective arm around Sim.
" Glory in your animal nature. It is your triumph!"
" I'm hideous!"
" No! The puling, pallid creature you were was truly something disgusting. Now you are magificent.... a fierce goddess! A true leader for the Saiya-jin race!"
~I don't want to rule them!~ some part of her shreiked in the back of her mind.
She jerked away, hissing and showing her claws.
" Damn you!" she spat
" We are both of us damned, my Queen."
Shinigami bowed with mock formality and disapeared. Sim let out a cry of rage. She couldn't resist her reflection but it terrifyed her.
She lay there sobbing for quite som time. High above, the winged figures watch her. Music began to throb, underscoring a low, rhythmic chanting. Like some ghastly chorus from, Hell, the living statuary sang in unison to her:
Bride of Night.... Bride of Night....
Shinigami is your heart's delight!
Hail to Darkness! Hail the Night!
His the Power and the Might!
Master of Chaos, Lord of Doom,
Sing his praises from the tomb!
Simoriah lifted her head, listening to the sepulchral singing. Her eyes burned like a tiger's and she bared her fangs,from her throat issueed a bone-chilling howl.
Now her tears had dried. She prowled the majestic hall with regal dignity. She stoped at the dinning table and something magical happened: each crystal goblet filled mysteriously with black wine as she passed; every empty bowl and platter suddenly was heaped with an incredible things to eat-all of it black!
~My favorite color.~ she thought to herself with hummor.
The food is beautiful in spite on its colour. She stared a it with undisguised hunger. Some animal instinct warns her not to trust this gleaming ebony feast, but she's famished and snatches up an apple bright as ploish anthracite.
" Good....eat...."
Simoriah gaped, dropping the apple. Shinigami was sitting in one of the twin grostesque thrones flanking the hearth.
" The food is for your enjoyment."
" I don't want it! I'm not hungry!"
" Do you lie just to please me?"
" I do nothing for your pleasure!"
Shini gestured to the opposing throne.
" You are so like a child, milady. Sit, and we'll talk."
Simoriah made no move towards the chair.
He continued gently,
" Like a child, you expect anger and defiance will upset me.... These are the qualities I admire most...."
She snarled, fangs gleaming in the firelight. Most of her fear had left her for the moment and he was makeing her angry again.
" So.... I'd love to rip out your throat, yet it would pain you more if I licked your hand...."
" All I desire is that you sit in that chair and talk with me."
She approached the grotesque throne. Like some impossible organism, it pulses in anticipation.
" Sit....? Here....?"
" Yes. Please...."
" I prefer to stand."
For a moment, Shini nearly sucumbed to anger. The viens in his forehead throb. His hands griped his throne in a spasam of fury.
" Sit....!" he snarled, he shrewdly realized that his anger would not work and relaxed with a twisted smile. ".....or stand. As you wish.... It's enough that we're alone together.... just the two of us....All of time
awaits us....why not make a start."
" A start at what....?"
He leaned forward in his throne, smiling at his new queen."
"Simple conversation...."
" What do we possibly have to talk about?"
" Thoughts....dreams....ambitions...."
" I have no interest in your dumbass ambition."
" Desire then....surely we beasts all have desire."
" You'd never dream what I desire...."
" Don't be so sure....Dreams are my speciality" he leaned his chin on his hand as he looked at her plesantly "It is through dreams I influence mankind. I have dreams of my own.... dreams of enternity
with you....no more silence....no more loneliness...."
"No more LEX?" Oni laughed "You sound like some simpering schoolboy!"
" I'll wager there was a time when the attention of a devoted schoolbvoy were entirely to your liking."
Simoriah regarded her claws with a savage sneer.
" I know what I'd do with such meat now!" she hissed, trying to drive her focus away from memories of pulling pranks and causeing trouble with Trunks and GOten back in school.
" ....all things change, lady. The pleasures of youth become the regrets of maturity....Sit....I value your thoughts. Why not share them with me?"
"No more than that....just sit?"
" Sit...."
Simoriah steped up onto the oversized footstool. Inches behind her, the monstrous throne swells and throbs like an organic creature, the powerful sinews rippling with desire.She smiled, now she had a little power in her corner!
" Doesn't seem such an outrageous request...."
Oni prepareed to sit, her luscious, silk-swathed bottom only inches from the lavcivious surface of the squirming throne.
" You'll never regret granting me this favour...."
" What shall we talk about?"
" Just sit!" he was getting impatient.
The febric of Simoriah's gown brusheed the writihing throne. In another second she would be sitting. Unexpectedly, she stands up tall on the footstool.
" Such a disagreeable chair....must be terribly uncomfortable. I think I'll stand if you don't mind."
Shinigami could barely controled his raging anger.
"I prefer you to sit!"
" I'd rather stand, thank you."
" Sit!"
" No.... Not now...."
Shinigami puffs like an adder in his frenzy, rising up to tower over Simoriah.
" I command you to sit!"
She was utterly unafraid now. She laughed at the swollen image of Shinigami.
" Don't be silly."
Simoriah hoped down from the footstool.
"SIT, DAMN YOU!"
She sashayed past him, twitching her gown in an unashamedly wanton fashion.
" Never.... never...."
Shini stared down at the Princess in a towering rage. She flirtatiously pretended to be interested in a bit of fruit before rejecting it in favour of another, which also proves not to her liking.
~Loooser!~ she thought happily.
" I'm not above my own little pranks, milady.... Should you have a taste for them."
" No doubt they're as foul as the stuff you set on your table...."
Shinigami relaxed, taking his cue from Sim's mocking tone.
" Foul....or fair, such distinctions are entirely arbitrary, my dear.... Does not the lowly toad think his mate fair, warts and all....?"
" Do you suggest I will think you fair some day?" she adapted his words.
" In time....and time we surely have... stretching before us....infinity....like a merciful curtain closing off the past...." He moved gracefully to her side and knelt before her."I beseech you...do not reject my foods as you do my food.... Never have I abased myself so before another....It is not humility that brings me low, mistress.... but love...."
~NANI?!~
" Love?"
" Aye, love.... You think my heart a barren desert where only hate can flower....A much finer blossom
show its petals now....nourished by sorrow....watered with your tears..." he pointed to his heart "I offer you this rose, Princess!....my heart....my soul...."
Simoriah was astonished. She walked away to consider what he had just said. Finally she turned back to face him.
" You dizzy me, Shini.... I never thought to hear the word 'love' spoken again...."
" You'll hear it forever!" he turned his head up to the cealing and shouted "I love you!"
" If this is true....hope is still alive..." she paused to regard her claws "These talons can caress as well as kill...."
She was then interupted by the chiming of a large clock. Shini stared up at the shadows as if judgeing something.
"It grows late..." he anounced.
Sim heard the sound of the before mentioned unicorn's frightened whinny carry up from the dungeons below.
" Our wedding feast is in good voice....Think you not?" Shinigami laughed.
"What do ya know,both the meal and entertainment in a single dish."
He smiled as if he apreciated the joke.
"Are you anxious to see blood flow?"
" As you are to drink it!"
~Then her true nature is returning!~ Shini thought excitedly.
"Will the groom grant his bride her wish on this night?" Sim continued
"You have but to ask my savage beauty."
" I want to kill the unicorn!"
" Lady, you make me proud...."
" I will do it with joy....! Let the unicorn's blood anoint our love!" she flung her arms around him in a hug. " ....and in the eternity awaiting us, I will happily sit on your throne as befits the Queen of Death!" She pulled back enough to kiss him. "Bring me to the wretched beast."
Shinigami took her arm and lead her towards the blazing hearth.
" This way, fair beauty. I hear a throat begging to be cut."
Simoriah hesitated when she realised Shinigami intended to lead her straight into the flames.
" No....! It's impossible!"
Shini steped into the leaping flames. He turned and took her hand.
" Now you are my queen. Nothing is impossible....Come....it takes but a single step....Find the faith...."
Shinigami looked deep into Simoriah's eyesShe felt her heart melt. Carefully she placed her foot into the fire. Nothing happened. She smiled and stood next to her new husband. He wraped an arm about the girl and they are consumed by flames, becoming one with the blaze around them."
***
A goblin carried a greatsword to Shinigami, offering it with a low bow.
" Excellent.... Let the ritual begin...."
The demon Guards stood in a semi-circle around the unicorn. 2 more goblins open tattered black prayer books. Shinigami steped up to a twisted lectern and read from a sinister volume.
" In the beginning, there was nothing....a void of darkness, a cold enternity of silence...."
Endless night, black as death!
Mother of Shadows protect us!
A courus of demonic creatures chanted
Mother of Shadows, renew us!
Dream Sister....eclipse our pain!
Night Bride....restore our strength!
"Are they talking about me?" Sim wispered to her new husband.
He nodded, smileing and continued to read.
" ....and when the perfect void was corrupted by Light, a great wailing was heard and all the brethern fled in terror...."
Deliver us, O' Shinigami, from all fear....
"Hear me, ye Powers of the Night! We offer this sacrafice in honour of you...." Shini called in a booming voice. He rached up and grabbed a bat from the cave ceiling " Here is our offering.... sanctified with blood...." he crushed the bat to a pulp and splatters the unicorn's white flank with its blood. "....and with fire!"Shini touched his fingertip to the unicorn's haunch. The hide smouldered instantly, leaving an ugly brand.
Blood and fire, born of Night....
Blood and fire, drown the Light!
"I pray you, Father, accept my sacrafice....Let Light be forever extinguished! Let the Age of darkness begin!"
The two Gobilns pulled the mare down into submission.Working together, the two goblins turn the iron winch. Bit by bit, the cable is drawn forward onto the drum and the unicorn's neck is stretched across the block. Shinigami stood before Simoriah, offering the greatsword.
" Once your hands were too delicate for such a task....spinning and weaving were more their work...."
" Let my loom be made of flesh and blood....I am sister to the Fates!" she smiled snatching the sword.
" What a queen you'll make!"
The unicorn is helpless before Simoriah. The goblin locks the winch, securing the cable.
" My lady, the birth of a new world awaits your stroke."
Simoriah swung the greatsword high over head and then thoughtfully lowered it, leaning on the handle.
Blood and fire....eternal ice!
Blood and fire....and sacrafice....
"You know," she smiled "I never really had a taste for Unicorn."
"Do it!" Shini screeched.
"Now wait a second, why do you want to throw the universe into darkness for? I rather like the light, ya know. And I kind love my family."
"Family?"
"Haven't you ever had one? Surely you know what I;m talking about!"
He frowned, trying to understand.
"You know a Mom and a Dad and kids and...you know. A family."
His eyes showed that he did not comprehind. Suddenly she felt a pang in her heart, the same that she felt whenever she saw Lex bullying him around. She pittied him.
"I tell you what." she placed her hand gently on his arm "If you spare the unicorn...and the universe for that matter, I'll show you."
***
Sim yawned and opened her eyes.
~Man, what a crazy dream!~
She rolled over sleepily.
"SHINIGAMI!" she yelped, jumping back. Her clothes were in a pile on the floor."Damn it damn it damn it!" she cursed, picking them up in a hurry.
"I liked it too." Shini smiled, watching her from the bed.
"What was I thinking?!" she wailed "I can't sleep with you! I'm married to Gohan!"
"Not here you're not."
"Say what??"
"We're in hell. When you're here, you're my wife."
"God F***ing Damnit!" Sim colapsed onto the bed. She paused for a second before turning to look at Shini again. "You're not wearing anything under that blanket, are you?"
"Nope."
Oni jumped of the bed and pulled her clothes on.
"I have to go." she teleported out of there.
***
"What's wrong Sim? Talk to me." Trin pleeded.
"You're gonna freak."
"No I won't."
"Fine. I slept with Shinigami."
"Now see, that wasn't so bad YOU WHAT?!"
"I slept with Shinigami."
"How could you?!"
"I don't know....it just happened."
"What about Gohan?" Trin's voice calmed.
"Don't tell him! You can't! You see...I'm kinda Shini's wife now...BUT ONLY IN HELL!" she added quickly.
"I won't say anything...god, Sim. What are we going to do with you?"
~OWARI~

Brilliant Idea
"Girr." Shiroi grumbled as Hiiro and Trinity walked by...Hand-in-hand.
"I Know how you feel." Sim came up beside him.
"Oh do you now?"
"You'd be suprised. From what I gather we may be the perfect team for my devious plan of misceif."
"Do tell." he raised an eyebrow.
"You want Trin because you love her, right?"
"Yes..." he answered warily.
"And I want Hiiro to...acompany me when Shini has departed to the underworld for half the year."
"Okay. I follow so far."
"So we break them up."
"How?"
"Mother natures greatest gift!"
"I'm not haveing sex with you."
"GODDAMNIT! NOT WHAT I WAS REFERING!" she callmed herself "I was thinking about jelousy. Make Trin jelous. She takes you back and Hiiro is free to be conquered."
"You really are one spoiled, manipulative bitch aren't you?"
She nodded.
"That's why you're my new girlfreind! This might just work!"
***
"You what???" Trin gapped at the two. Shiroi had his arm around Sim.
"We're engagged!" Sim repeated herself chirpily.
"No. No. Not happening." She shook her head.
"I asure you. We're quite in love!" Shiroi smiled broudly.
"This is a cosmic joke right?" Hiiro stood objectively against a wall.
"Nope." Sim winked at him. He shifted uncumfortably. [Still remembering the incident where she had tied him up.]
"I love her and she loves me. Aren't you happy for us Trin?" Shiroi yanked playfully on a peice of Sim's hair "Two of the people you love the most are geting married!"
"Oh, honey. You're so cute. Of course she's happy for us!"Sim yanked hard on his earring as a private warning to not pull her hair. He started to snap at her but forced a smile.
"Um. I think I am..." the blond frowned. ~Something's not right here...~
"Well, we better go now." Sim sensed Trin's distrust of the situation. "Come on now, love." she grabbed the vampire's hand and pulled him out of the room.
"You think it worked?" he asked when they were out of earshot.
"Who knows."
"You think she'd really belive that you were my type?" he smiled.
"I don't know about that but I do have a thing for fangs."
He quit smileing.
"Chill out. You're cute but...he...not a chance in hell."
"Repeat that?" Hiiro poped up behind them.
"Er...just wispering sweet nothings. Nothing that would concern you." Shiroi blushed.
"I see." he looked the couple over "I'm watching you two."
"Damn." Sim cursed as he left.
***
"Something's fishy here." Trin anounced directly to Sim and Shiroi.
"I wasn't me!" Jaga blurted out walking by.
Beta glanced between the opossing groups.
"I don't know what you mean." Shiroi put his hand on Sim's knee.
"Yeah. There's nothing unusual here." Sim agreed slapping his hand off.
"I just ain't gunna bear this no more!" Beta blurted "The truth is, They're already married!"
*anime sweat drop moment*
"No frikin' way!"
"Yes way! I can't hide it anymore darling!" Sim hugged Shiroi.
"OOO nice one!" Beta muttered.
"Since when does SIM call ANY man 'darling'?" Gelf HB observed.
"I couldn't until I found true love!" Sim grinned.
Shiroi was silent.
"Alright. I'll buy it for now." Hiiro smirked.
***
"You've gotta be nuts!" Sim gaped at the sign Bet had just hung on her bedroom door. It read "Simoriah and Shiroi's Room."
"If yer married then ya have to share a room."
"Not happinin'!" Shiroi insisted.
"You talking divorce yet?" Hiiro poked his head around the corner.
"We better go to bed honey!" Shiroi picked Sim up
"Yes! I guess we should Sweetheart!"
The door slammed.
"Ain't no bloody way I'm gettin' freaky with you." He anounced.
"Don't flatter yourself." she "be da"ed.
"We gotta think of something! He's marching in front of the door."
"I have another idea!" Sim anounced thrusting her finger in the air.
"It's a record year for you, ne?"
"Remind me to insure that you'll never have children again."
"No speka any English."
She rolled her eyes and started jumping up and down on the bed.
"It's not working." Shiroi listened to the other side of the door. He just put up a tent in the hallway.
"Looks like we're stuck together."
"Yep."
"You're so sleeping on the floor."
***
"How can she sleep?" Shiroi grumbled and turned over on the cold wooden floor. He pulled the fuzzy blanket she had given him off and stood up. "I ougta kick that pillow right out from under her head for this!"
Sim mumbled something in her sleep and he leaned over to listen. Sudenly she grabbed his head and hugged it.
"Hi P-chan." she spoke drowsily "I missed you."
"I'm not your pet pig!" his voice was muffled in her chest. He gently untangled her arms and backed away several feet.
"She's nuts even when she's sleeping! I can't take this." he opened the window with the intention of climbing out.
"Trying to escape?" Hiiro was standing in wait.
"It's a little stuffy in here, that's all!" he backed up into the room again.
"Aren't you going to get in bed?" Hirro smiled with mock innocence.
"Um...of course?" he went to the empty side of the bed and got in. "Dear god, help me now!" he wipsered a prayer.
***
"Good morning." Sim snuggled closer to the man in her bed, wraping an arm and a leg around him.
"Mornin', love." he kissed her forehead drowsily.
"Waaaaaa!" Trin wailed from the doorway "I wannted Sim to get with someone besides Shini but not my Ex-husband!"
"Huh?" Sim opened her eyes."You!" she jumped back, realizeing who it was and tripped over Shiroi's boots, hitting her head on the floor and looseing conciousness.
when she woke up Shiroi was over her.
"You okay?"
"ACK!" she slapped him with both hands.
"That hurt."
"Sorry...get off me!"
"I knew it!" Trin cheered.
"They found us out." Shiroi summed up.
"No duh.What clued you in?"
Hiiro looked over at Beta.
"Traitor." Sim hissed.
"What can I say? I'm a slave to money." she counted the bills.
