Chapter 1 : Darkness with Interest

Darkness watched with Interest in the Courtroom.
Darkness lurked in the dark corner where the jury were sitting.
You see, Darkness cannot show himself in the courtroom. It was not dark enough. So he had to crouch down in the dark corner of the Jury Box. Technically, a man would not be able to see anything if one crouched down in that dark corner. But Darkness had a special ability, that is to see through solid matter. And the best part is, he can control how far he wanted to see through solid matter. Admittedly, he had enjoyed the view of people's underwears and privates (girls especially), but he simply would not admit that to his wife, Blindness. Lacking eyes, Blindness was highly suspicious of everything her husband does. And dogs his (almost) every move. The worst part, Darkness told himself, is that Jealousy was such a good friend of Blindness. Yes, the green eye monster, with 5 tentacles and 3 legs, and 15 normal eyes and one green eye.
But not today.
Darkness will have some fun. Besides, he already knew the outcome of this trial. He had watched it earlier on.
The weirdest thing was that Yoriko had taken off her underwear in the steel room, after he left. Anyone sane would not do that. Right?
He had a suspicion that Insanity had got to Yoriko.
But right now, he was watching Apathy fighting with Trouble. A tiff, of ex-lovers. Nothing could be more wonderful than that.

"You're supposed to be at Kyori!' Apathy shrilled in a voice so high, that no normal mortal could hear it. Neither could any mortal see them. Of course not.
"Yeah. And guess what happened when I went there? They were HAPPY! HAPPY that their city disappeared from the 3 primary dimensions! Happiness got to them first." Trouble grumbled.
"So? You've lost a city, and now, you want to steal my customer from me??! Or are you scared of your WIFE" Apathy snarled. When she said the word wife, Darkness could feel his hairs tingling*
"No, remember, I told you. You're gonna have one revolting slave. I found the candidate." Trouble retorted
"Oh, so, now you wanna make me lose the bet eh? Is that what you wanted me to do? that is always what you wanted me to do, ain't it? Lose the bet. Like last time..." Apathy screamed. Anger was her husband, whom she could not care less about, and wanted a divorce.
Darkness forced himself to look at the court proceedings once more. It is afterall, inethical to listen to your neighbours quarrel about their sex life, relationships and so on right?
Darkness was an ethical person.




*Technically, that would not be called hair. Darkness was inky black. And you cannot tell the difference if he had hair or not
