Chapter 8
The Vengeful Witch, Mayumi
"The mixture will soon be complete," the witch said. "Thank you for your help, Momoko."
The somber face of Momoko appeared out of the intimidating darkness.
"It is my pleasure to serve you, Lady Mayumi. I am eternally in your debt."
Inuyasha heard that familiar voice faintly, as he awakened. He abruptly realized that he was shackled in chains.
"What the hell?"
"Hm. You're awake, Inuyasha," the witch, Mayumi, noticed. "I need to you to be awake, so that you may witness the end of the human race."
"What?"
"Momoko loyally fetched you for me from the forest. Along with your friends."
Inuyasha turned to see Kagome next to him, shackled in chains as well. Shippo and Shouta were locked in a room, sealed by powerful bewitchment. Inuyasha finally came to.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Calm yourself," the witch began. "I am Mayumi, soon to be the sealer of your fate. I have gathered your Kagome to give me the jewel shards you possessed. I needed those shards to begin mixing a brew. Once the mixture is complete, the shards' powers will be enhanced, and I will finally be able to rid this planet of the repulsive blackhearts known as humans."
Kagome was still under Mayumi's spell. She began to scream and shake violently once again.
"Inuyasha! Where am I?"
"What did you do to her?" Inuyasha asked, with his fists clenched tightly.
"She is under a spell. And as for you, your life will end soon."
Inuyasha began struggling and pulling the chains.
"It is futile," Mayumi said. "Those chains are enchanted and bound with powerful magic."
"Damn it."
"You should thank Momoko. Her shrewdness and stealth caused you to have this fate."
"Huh?"
Momoko's head was bent; her hair covered her eyes and most of her face. She looked up, stepping out of the blackness once again.
"Momoko? The gossip lady?"
"Yes, the innocent, kind-hearted gossip lady," Mayumi said. "The one who also swiftly eliminated Kaede for me."
"But how?"
There was a sudden clank on the ground. Inuyasha saw the object by his feet. It was a metal apparatus, with thin, however sharp knives protruding out of it. Inuyasha sniffed a sudden scent of dried blood. It looked as though it could be held in the fist as a weapon.
"You killed her?" Inuyasha said, with anger slightly rising.
"Yes. It was I," Momoko said. "Lady Mayumi said it had to be done, so it was done. I will always obey her orders. I must repay her."
"Kaede was in the way. She saw too much," Mayumi said. "She had to be killed."
"Damn you!"
Inuyasha began to pull at the chains again. He wouldn't succumb; everyone was in dire jeopardy.
"You must not get in the way either," Mayumi said.
With that, Mayumi cast a spell upon Inuyasha, and slowly, his eyelids drooped. He eventually closed his eyes, and left reality.
