Momo Lancaster slept but experienced no dreams, there were no nightmare either but sadly she had no sweet dreams, well to be honest there was nothing for her to dream about nothing good occurred that day before and she knew it. Yesterday all in all was a dumpster fire and her sleep reflected it, her sleep wasn't comfortable or warm it wasn't inviting it was just something mandatory, a activity that her body needed to survive. This is the sleep Momo was experiencing a dull sleep she was happy to come out of, With the greatest of ease Momo opened her eyes she was hit with a familiar case of deja vu. The new day sun was sitting high in the sky shining brightly through her window, she eventually sat up and a voice spoke up when she did.
"So your awake"
It said this morning was becoming more and more familiar to the morning after her first night, in her heart she knew who was asking this question, she energetically whipped her head around but the person she saw wasn't the boy with the bangs... well it wasn't a boy to begin with but a woman and a woman she did not know. Standing next to her bed refilling a I.V. bag was a woman in sky blue heels, wearing a tight light cocktail dress and cherry red lipstick her hair was the same color as her lips and over her dress she wore a pure white lab coat, Momo thought she looked... she looked... like a hot mess.
"Are you ok Miss Lancaster?"
The woman spoke again Momo able to hear the slight hint of a accent in her voice but one she wasn't able to place.
"You look disappointed Miss Lancaster"
"I am"
Momo said finally opening her mouth.
"I was expecting there to be someone else by my side, but it just happened to be you instead"
"Oh this person wouldn't happen to be Soren Nakamura?"
The red haired woman said Soren's name with a certain air of high class as she took a step closer to Momo's bed, when she did Momo swiftly grabbed the woman's wrist but not in a violent way but in a concerned way. Her eyes had enlarged and the red haired woman could tell by her grasp that Momo was trembling slightly.
"Where is he?!? Is he Ok!? What happened? Where's the possessed gua-"
Momo was speaking in a jumbled accelerated rate so fast that the only way for the woman to get in a word of her own she had to cover Momo's mouth. With her free hand the woman gently rubbed Momo's head then spoke nice and softly.
"Do not worry, Mr. Nakamura is very much alive and well, Rochelle took care of the possessed guard so you can rest easy"
Momo exhaled through her nose and her body relaxed, when she knew she was calm the woman removed her hands then went to wash her hands in a sink on the other side of the room. As she lathered and scrubbed Momo sat there relief but still puzzled.
"Who are you anyway?"
She asked the woman washing her hands.
"One of the schools nurses but the schools only speciality Shaman nurse"
She stopped washing then dried her hands then turned back to face Momo.
"I'm Jenny, nurse Jenny Joyce, Rochelle called me after the mission was finished once I knew the gravity of the situation I hopped in are schools personal ambulance and bee lined straight to you"
"This school has it's own ambulance?"
"Yes we do"
The nurse responded with a perfect teeth smile.
"So where's sex doll boy?"
Jenny's face scrunched up and her eyes narrowed then she finally realized.
"Oh you mean Mr. Nakamura... his up and about he should be eating lunch in the cafeteria right now, you two have been excused from your morning classes but your at lease expected to appear in your 6th period today since you were absent yesterday"
"Oh..ok"
Momo said rubbing her face, she slowly made her way out of bed , when she stood up she asked.
"So where's Rochelle? I want to talk to her"
"I'm afraid to say but she's still in Ohio"
"She is?"
Momo said with a stank look on her face.
"Why?"
"She's still dealing with the fallout of yesterdays mall fiasco, she had to oversee the shut down of the mall plus she had to... in secret spin a story to the public"
Nurse Joyce paused and looked at her watch.
"Right about now she probably with Sanford & Sons"
"Who are they?"
"A specialty Shaman company there people specializing in creating barriers, they're contracted with the school and are the ones who put the barrier up here"
"Oh so there going to close up that little portal window thingy?"
They way Momo asked and Phrased the question was very direct it was simple she expected a straight no nonsense yes but the nurse didn't give her that. Jenny Joyce's face scrunched up and she simply cocked her head to one side and said.
"Miss Lancaster portals to the Demon world can't be closed it's impossible"
At this Momo's own faces became scrunched up both of there faces thrown of by each others comments.
"They can't?"
Momo asked.
"No ma'am no they can not, if they could then the gate portal the school sits on top of would have been closed decades ago"
She paused and her eyes began to water, but she regained her Composure and stuffed her saddest back down.
"No matter the size of the portal weather a window, a door or a gate they can't be closed they can only be limited with the effects of barriers and charms"
Nurse Jenny took on a very Solemn look the aura around her was one of grieve, she seemed to be grieving the death of a love one, it was her eyes the look in those eyes gave her away but once again she pushed what ever she was feeling back down snapping back. The nurse turned making her way out of the room.
"Since your wounds are healed and your clearly fine you should make your way to the cafeteria and get some lunch before it's over"
She opened and closed the door behind her, a second or two of quiet hit the room then the door re-opened and Joyce popped her head in.
"Also your uniform and backpack are at the front door, oh and Rochelle wanted me to tell you two good job"
After this she closed the door and was gone for real this time leaving Momo alone once again, she pondered everything she was just told, the portals, the mall, the praise. She thought for quite a while then she shrugged and proceeded to get dress. Momo made it to the north buildings cafeteria near the tail end of lunch as she strolled into the packed to the brim room, she noticed man students mean mugging her staring at her up and down, it seemed that every table she walked by gave her the evil eye. For the life of her she didn't know why nor did she take the time to ask them what was there issue, no she simply flipped them off as she made her way to Soren who was sitting eating soup at a table by himself. She was worried for him but refused to let him see her soft caring side, she didn't want to look like a punk so the way she greeted him was by smacking him so hard in the head that his face landed into his soup. When he eventually came up for air his face and collar covered in tomato soup he saw Momo sitting on the table smiling ear to ear at him.
"What's up sex doll boy!"
