Chapter Four
Kidnapped!
"Don't they ever make things easy in this stupid place!" Kagome yelled as she and her four traveling companions walked through the Haunted Forest. After leaving the Crystal City, they had learned that Warlock's castle stood high in the Mountains of Despair which loomed over the Haunted Forest. And it was said that those woods were filled with ghosts, goblins, and wolf demons that could tear you apart just looking at you.
It was kind of creepy, especially with the thousands of yellow eyes that glowed both day and night as they watched the small company walk along the path. And unfortunately, all three of Kagome's new friends were scared to death of everything.
"Don't those things ever sleep?" Joey scarecrow asked as he walked closer to Kagome.
"I don't know," Tin Duke said, as he clattered and clanged with fear, "But I'd rather face the Warlock than stay another night out here with those eyes looking us!"
"What's the big deal?" Inu-yasha the Lion said, "It's not like they've tried anything." Then, an owl hooted, making the feline yelp, and jump up.
"Serves you right," Kagome said. "And I don't care about weird glowy eyes, or a megalomaniac Warlock. I want to get this stupid task over with and get me and Shippo home."
"You speak so lightly now," said the Warlock up in his tower. "Yet once you know my true power, you will wish you'd never fallen from the sky." He turned to his monkey creature, and said, "I want the girl and her kitsune alive. I don't care what you do to the other buffoons. Now go, my Flying Mokubas!!!" he commanded, lifting up is arms and turning to the open terrace. The Flying Mokubas jumped off the ledge one by one, and took off over the mountains. There were so many of them that their massive shadow covered the land below in darkness. And as they flew away, the Warlock laughed manically.
"I can't take it anymore!!!" the Joey scarecrow cried, "Those eyes are too creepy!"
"Is that a cloud in the distance?" the Tin Duke asked.
"Can't be... It's moving too fast," Inu-yasha the Lion said, licking his finger and sticking it in the air, "It's moving against the wind too."
"It's coming this way!!" Shippo cried.
"Run!" Kagome screamed as the screeching winged Mokuba Monkeys descended upon them. They dived low, and scattered as they attacked. One large group, grabbed hold of the Joey scarecrow, ripping his arms out, and pulling straw from his legs.
"Get off me you freaks!" he screamed futilely as his parts were tossed about. "Get away from me! Shoo!" Tin duke yelled as he swatted at them with his axe.
Inu-yasha was running away, pulling Kagome after him, when another group of Flying Mokubas grabbed at her shoulders and started lifting her off the ground.
"Let go me!!" she screamed, grabbing some of Inu-yasha's.
"Ow OW OW!! You let go of me!" he yelled. Then, they were pried apart, and as Inu-yasha the Lion fell to the ground, he looked up to see Kagome thrash and scream as the Mokubas flew away with her. And one last Mokuba took flight as he carried Shippo off by the tail, as the little kitsune yelled obscenities at it.
"Kagome!!" Inu-yasha yelled. But they were gone.
"Lion!" Tin Duke yelled, "Help me put the Scarecrow back together."
"What happened to him?" he asked, coming up to his companions.
"Just put me back together," Joey the scarecrow said, "I'm beside myself over here." As he said that, the legs lying beside him began twitching.
Kagome had passed out at some point. Now, she awoke to find herself in a dark room. She sat up, and gasped. In front of her stood the Warlock.
"Sleep well?" he said sarcastically.
"Why am I here? What…What have you done to Shippo?" she asked as she cringed away.
"He's right her," he said, stepping aside. One of the Mokuba Monkeys held the kitsune by his tail.
"Kagome! Kagome make them put me down!" Shippo called.
"She can't help you or anyone else," the Warlock said. "I'm going to get the Shikon Jewel the only way I can," He walked over to a table, and turned over an hourglass that had gold sand in it. "When this runs empty, you'll die," he told Kagome. "Now, my pet," he said to the Mokuba Monkey, "Take that furr ball and have him turned into a muff."
The monkey began to obey, but then with a pop and a flash of fox fire, Shippo bound the monkey's hands with a statue and spell scroll. Then, he ran away, saying, "I'll get help Kagome!"
"Run Shippo!" Kagome yelled. She ran over to the window, and saw the kitsune run out of the castle, and disappear into the mountains. "He got away!" she said in hope.
"But you will not!" the Warlock said, slamming the door and locking it behind him.
Kagome ran to the door, and banged on it, shouting, "Let me out! Please, let me out!" Oh Shippo, she thought, please get help in time!
