Mahou Shounen Rei 2: the darkside

Well...Mahou Shounen Rei is a magical girl story...let's call it the first season of the show. That would make darkside the second season. It's more or less one big spoiler for the first season...it's a little more mature, and a little darker. And I like it. ^_^

The basic drive of darkside is this...there's this nasty person around town, and he/she/it (no one's quite sure...some say female, some say male, and the ones who would know are all dead ^_^) has killed off some magical girls (well, women) and is doing not so nice stuff now. And Rei feels that he should probably try to stop the person, except that he never can seem to be around at the right time.

Add to that the fact that Rei has been having weird dreams that he can't quite remember half the time...the mysterious bad person is supposedly targeting his boyfriend...Hikari and Yami are suddenly missing...and his best friend is starting to get suspicious about what happened to Rei's last boyfriend, Scott...and Rei's summer is not going to be the happiest time in the world.

Now, please note that I don't plan on writing most of this story until I finish the original. But, every time I listen to the song "The World" (from .hack//SIGN OST 1), I feel the urge to write the fun scenes involving Umbra, who is described almost perfectly by aforementioned song...so I have here a little bit of the beginning of darkside, as well as a teaser dream-type scene involving Rei and Umbra. Have fun...but beware the spoilers.
