Afraid of the Dark
Yep. I actually wrote another one. You know, If Johnny were actually acting like himself in these stories, he'd have killed ONi-chan a long time ago.
"Since we're going out, here's your babysitter. Feel free to shake him violently." Squee's dad mumbled as he darted out the front door. The baby-sitter stared down at the bewildered little boy.
~Mabey this one isn't really mean or crazy~ Squee thought to himself.
"Hey," Oni-chan knelt in front of him "You're shorter than me."
"Yes..."
"Cool. ^_^" she playully punched him on the shoulder. After a moment of shock, he smiled up at her.
"You hungry, kid?"
"Not realy."
"What do you want to do?...man, this place is a mess. Don't your parents ever clean up?"
He shook his head, still smileing.
"Okay..." she shrugged "What do you do for fun around here? You never answered me."
"Mmm...I write stories...I like to read..."
"Alright! You go little guy! You don't have to jump like that. I'm perfectly okay..they say...hey...that house enxt door...it looks familiar...anyway!...kid, I said you don't hav eto jump. I write stuff too, ya know? We'll have to trade sometime. You're okay kid...Squee, is it?"
"Thanks...um...I think."
"Yah.you're okay..." she said more to herself than anybody.
In a sudden burst of childish affection at being noticed, an dthe bonus of positive enforcement of self esteeme he wrapped his arms around her neck.
"DON'T HU-oh waht the hell?"
***
"This is really pretty." ONi commented, looking up at the stars from the roof of Squee's house.
"There are aliens up there." he confided as he sat next to her.
"Really?"
"Mmmyep...lots of 'em. They all want to test people...Daddy said something about chickens when they brought him back..."
"So you guys got beamed up?"
"Mmmyep...Mommy and Daddy and me."
"Your parents? Really?"
"Yes." he gave her a confused look.
"They wanted your parents?"
"Yes."
"Man! And I thought there was intellignet life out there. What a bummer. I mean, your parents deserve an anal probe or two but...SHIT! The entire human race has been misrepresented!! The first impression is always the most important, remeber that lil' Squee...um...not that your parents are bad or anything...what was i talking about again?..."
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU SQUEE?!" a voice sounded from inside the house. "Oh , who gives a fuck. "
"Well, my job here is done." Oni sighed "Your parents are home."
***
"It's os cool that you gotto come here to visit!" Oni-chan smiled at her cousin Amanda.
They were wondering around the mall amongst the usual crowd.
"Me too! It's fun! Wanna go down to Hot Topic and laugh at all the posers?"
"Alright! It's great when they look at you like you're the one one who's trying to be something you're not."
"MOMMY!!!" a loud cry wa issued from the other side if the carosel.
They looked over to see whta was going on. A familiar little boy was shakeing and crying with panic.
"Squee!" Oni called over to him.
His head poped up upon hearing his name . He saw his baby-sitter and ran to her.
"Mommy said I could ride the carosel! I like the zebra. He looks nice. ANd when I got off, she was gone!"
"The zebra?"
"No! My Mommy!"
"Oh."
"Por little guy." Amanda picked him up comfortingly.
"Common." Oni-chan sighed "We'll walk you home."
***
"...And then Smee told me..." Squee stopped speaking as they passed the rundown house next door to his own.
"You know, that house is really familiar." Oni stoppe dto stare at it. Suddenly her eyes widened in recognition "NNY! THAT'S WHERE JOHNNY LIVES!!"
"He's scary." Squee snuggled closer to Amanda.
"YOu've gotta meet this guy, Manda!" Oni started for the house.
"Is he the one you told me about?" she called after her cousin.
"Yep1" she answered, opening the front door and entering without a knock or invitation. disapearing into the depths of the house. After a moment she reapeared, dragging a stoic Johnny by the hand, into th eyard.
"This is Johnny!"
"Oh my GAWD! HE'S SO HOT!" Amanda squealed.
"I know!" Oni agreed, letting go of the bloody young gentalman. He wordlessly shook his head and went back into his house. The blood-chilling scream a an ass-hole looseing his "parts" was soon heard comeing from the basement.
***
"Since you're already here, just keep him for a while. I'm leaveing." Squee's Dad slapped 20 dollars into Oni-chan's hand upon seeing his newly returned flesh and blood. [Blood. That word seems to be popping up all over the place. Blood. Blood. Blood. Blood. I like that word.]
"Okay..I just-" the sound of a door slamming cut her protest short.
"I better get back." Amanda announced, looking the situation over.
"Tell Mom where I am."
"Sure. Bye little Squee." she hugged him one last time, before leaveing.
Oni looked down at the twenty bucks in her hand, then shifted her gaze to the phone.
"Wanna order pizza?" she asked Squee.
He nodded vigorusly in agreement.
"Okkie Dookie"
***
"Let's split up gang!"
Squee sat contentedly on the couch next to Oni-chan, as both of them chewed on slices of extra-cheesey pizza and watched TV. The pizza man had been very rude. Oni sent him over to Nny's house.
"Hey, what's that sound?" Oni stopped to listen at a scratching that came from below.
Squee didn't answer, he just trie dto make himself disapear amongst the sofa cusions. Footsteps marched up the basement stairs.
"I guess I should do somthing, huh?" the oh-so-responsible child care giver sighed. She got up lazily and stood to the side of the basement door. A claw-like hand opened the door. She griped the wrist tightly, and threw a startled Nny into the livingroom wall via Judo,
"Hi Oni-chan." he grouaned.
(You know, what I wrote earlier really got me thinking. Why hasn't Johnny killed me yet? Oh well. I guess I'm imune.)
"Oh...Hi Nny. What are you doing here?"
"Um...I'm hungry."
"Oh. Okay. Have a seat."
"Hey, Squue." Jhonny greeted, sitting next to the lil'un on the couch "What's on T.V.?"
***
"AHEM." (cough drop?? +_+)
Squee opened his eyes, only to be met with the sight of his parents standing in front of the Trio on the couch. Johnny looked like he was about to pull out a knife. Oni-chan was still half-dazed with sleep.
"Honey, who are they?" Squee's mom asked her husband.
"The baby-sitter and her boyfreind, I imagine. The little one is ours...hum...aby-sitter and her boyfreind...at least now I don't have to worry about the talk."
"He's not my boyfreind!" Oni objected.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever."
"I should go..." Nny backed up to the door and exited in a quick swoop.
"We ran into that little school freind of yours and his mom. They want you to come over and stay the night. Omaki-can will dop you off."
"But I-"
He put another twenty in her hand and pushed them colectively out the door.
"MY NAME IS ONI-CHAN!!!"
*!SLAM!*
***
"Is this it? Man, that's a lot of smoke." Oni stared in awe, opening a packet of PopRocks and consumeing them.
"It comes from the basement..." Squee wispered almost inaudiably.
"You don't say." she seemed to come out of a trance "Well, let's get you inside so I can get home. AuraCat's comming in for a visit."
"Don't make me go in there! PLEASE! TAKE ME WITH YOU!!"
He suddenly had a pro-wrestler's grip on her waist.
"What could posibly be so bad about spending the night with a freind? As a general rule, it's one of the perks of childhood. Sleepovers without acusations of homosexuality and stuff."
"He's the Anti-christ!"
"Dude, really?"
"You're going to say you want to meet him, aren't you?"
"You learn quickly, my dear little squeeling! Off we go!" She untangled herself from his smothering embrace and went up to the front door. (The Word "DOOR" has been popping up a lot too. I don't like it as much as "BLOOD" though)
*DING-DONG* (goes the magical doorbell)
"Ah. Todd. You've arrived...And who is this...unusual...woman?" Pepito answered the door. (I didn't like the sound of that O_o)
"Mmm This is Oni-chan."
"Hell-o...Oni-chan. Please won't you come in for a bit?"
"Uhhhh...sure?" (NO! NO! DON'T GO WITH HIM GIRL! Oh, why do they never listen to the confuseing authoric intreuptions?!)
"Hello,Todd! It's no nice to see you again!" Pepito's mom welcomed them warmly. She was a shapely woman in a pink floral dress and a golden cross draped around her neck.
"Hello Mrs....Um...Satan."
"Yeah..I better be going. YOu're on your own on this one, Squee." Oni-chan turned to leave but a tall...satanic?...figure materialized in her path.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave Oni?" The guy (obviously SATAN) smiled wryly at her.
"Because...because..."
"Father!"Pepito exclaimed "Isn't she intresting Father?"
Satan gave the teenager a good once-over.
"Yes, Son, I see what you're getting at."
***
"I so had this comming to me." Oni stared glumly ahead as Pepito sat in a chair oposite her grinning with anti-christ-like glee.
"What are you thinking, Oni-chan?" he finally uttered.
"Aside from the fact that I want out of here?"
"Yesssss..."
"I WANT MY MOMMY!"
"Hum."
He stood to circle her, examining the multiple chains that bound her to the lazy-boy, makeing sure tehy were secure.
"I told you so." Squee sighed from his position against a nearby wall.
"What do you think of me being the Anti-christ? Do I disturb you?" Pepito continued his questioning.
"Well, You know, with my luck, I always figured I'd give birth to you, but I see someone bet me to it."
"I like you." *freaky anti-chrost expression of lamour*
"That's...really...um...nice. Pepito, you're a...um...indiviual."
"I like you a lot."
"I need a drink."
"You drink?"
"No. But I'm ready to start."
"Ah, are you enjoying your stay?" Satan entered with grandure.
(He's got to be kidding, right?)
***
"Ssssssshhhhhh!"
"AuraCat? What are you doing here?" Oni-chan wispered to her freind who had decended into the room on a rope mechanism, clad in black, grease paint smeared under her eyes.
"I'm here to break you out! What else?"
"I'm so happy I could kiss you!"
They both froze in mid-movement for a moment.
"Not that I would. Hurry! The Anti-christ has the hots for me!"
"Can we just take a moment to review the irony of this statement?"
"No!"
"You know, this would make a great story!" (*Oni-chan slapps herself*)
"Later! Later! That little...chubicabra could come back in here at any minute!"
"Chub-ri-cab-ra! The dunna nuh nuh, Goat-Sucker!" Aura sang.
With a *ca-chink* the chains hit the floor and they were on their way.
***
"But you scheduled me to baby-sit tonite."
"When?"
"A week ago!" Oni glared, crossing her arms impatiently.
"Oh. Sorry. We put Squee in the looney bin. Our need for your services has been terminated. Good-bye." The door was once more, cerimoniusly slammed in her face.
"Poor Squee." Amanda looked destraught.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" AuraCat smiled.
"I don't know if I have that much hair-spray..."
"For what?"
"Huh?"
"Hairspray?"
"What?
"Oh never mind."

Rob Zombie feat. Ozzy Osbourne - Iron Head
what is the purpose
demonoid phenomenon
regulate the flux and reflux
so bring it on
loose upon the world
destruct a juggernaut
suddenly the rats are high
bleed the masses and watch'em cry
slumber like houdini's dog
die alone out in the fog
iron head- regenerate
iron head-exterminate
iron head-liberate and crucify you
what is my name
demonoid phenomenon
laugh in your face and
break because you dont belong
vent apon the brink
appear another demi-god
suddenly forever knows
what it takes and where it goes
paint it black inside your head
i defy what you have said
