Chapter 8
Prince Sekanta looked back and saw Inuyasha standing there. Kagome and Shippou were behind him as well. Prince Sekanta smirked at Inuyasha and gave him a weird look. Inuyasha grinded his teeth and then ran right towards the prince. Prince Sekanta dodged Inuyasha's attack and moved towards Kagome.
"I've been expecting you Kagome. Be a sweet heart and hand over the jewel" the prince talked so sincere to Kagome.
"Why should I?" Kagome backed up.
Inuyasha came back but the Prince just dodged it.
"Inuyasha just quit while you still have a chance" Prince Sekanta yawned.
"Bastard! You're going to pay for this" Inuyasha took out his sword.
Prince Sekanta took Kagome by the hand and jumped up to his thrown. He gave the signal and his follows came out from hiding. They too contained slime like substance in their hands. There was at least six in all and they all released their slime. Inuyasha got hit and was stuck to the wall pretty close to Sango and Miroku. Inuyasha tried to get free but he couldn't move a muscle besides his head. Kagome ran towards the trapped hanyou but was stopped by Prince Sekanta. The Prince rapped his arms around Kagome and grabbed the Shikon no tama from her neck. He then pushed her away and Kagome fell to the ground. Kagome felt around her neck but the necklace was gone. Kagome got up quickly and ran towards the Prince.
"Give that back!" Kagome yelled.
"I have it in my hands at last and it's all thanks to you Kagome. Now I have all the power I need" The Prince used the Jewel to stop Kagome in her tracks.
Kagome froze but she tried to fight it. Sekanta moved forward to Kagome's motionless body. The Prince touched Kagome's delicate skin on her face. Inuyasha became restless.
"Get your filthy hands off Kagome!" Inuyasha became jealous.
"What a beautiful woman you are Kagome. Maybe I'll spare your life instead of killing you. Hey Inuyasha you don't mind do you?" The Prince wanted to get on Inuyasha's nerves.
Inuyasha grinded his teeth and began to struggled. He tried to break free but he just couldn't. The slime was pretty tough just for Inuyasha. Inuyasha never imagine getting stuck like this. For some reason Inuyasha wasn't strong as he was before. He was getting weaker by each hour. What is happening to Inuyasha? Why is he so weak all of a sudden? Is it the slime? Or is it something different? What ever it is, Inuyasha hoped for the best. Prince Sekanta strapped Kagome to a chair next to his thrown. He sat down in his thrown and made the Jewel roll around in his palm.
"What's happening to me? Why am I so weak? Is it this damn slime?" Inuyasha questioned himself.
"Inuyasha it's no use. We can't break free so don't feel over powered. We need to find a way to get out of this mess before he uses the Jewel to become more powerful" Sango whispered to the panicking hanyou.
"Sango is right Inuyasha. Don't feel over powered. I don't exactly know why you have become so weak all of a sudden but I'll try to think of a solution" Miroku agreed with the demon slayer's words.
"Hey Sango, how did you get here anyway?" Inuyasha wondered why.
"Well, Kohaku and I were abducted actually. We were in the demon slayer's village when Prince Sekanta arrived and attacked Kohaku and Kilala. I tried to save him but we were trapped inside some bubble like substance. Then Kilala got Miroku and he tried to rescue us but got caught in the slime just when I got free. We were so close into getting free from this hell" Sango explained.
"What were you thinking Miroku? You should of got us before you tried to rescue Sango" Inuyasha started to yell a bit.
"Sorry for trying to keep Kagome out of danger. He was planning on all of us at once coming to the rescue. And anyway he sent a note that said he wasn't going to release Sango and Kohaku unless Kagome handed over the Jewel. I thought I was doing you guys a whole world of good. Well more like a favor" Miroku yelled back.
"What's this? How come you guys fighting for?" Prince Sekanta grinned as if he wanted it to happen.
"What is he thinking about? Was he expecting this to happen or planned it? If I don't get the Jewel and get them free, I don't think they're going to live" Kagome thought.
"Are you blaming me that this happened?" Miroku argued back.
"Yes, I could have taken cared of this earlier!" Inuyasha yelled back to the monk.
"Will you stop fighting! You guys aren't helping at all. We are supposed to be helping one another" Sango interrupted the combat between the boys.
Inuyasha and Miroku were stunned and were quiet as a mouse for a short period of time. Inuyasha began to feel weird vibes all over him. Miroku and Sango looked at the hanyou in confusing and frustrating.
"Inuyasha what is going on with you?" Miroku said in frustrating.
"I don't know. I feel weak and I'm getting a weird vibe" Inuyasha began to worry.
"What is going on with Inuyasha? He was just fine all morning and afternoon. I don't get it. Wait! Please no! Not now, he doesn't need this now" Kagome realized what was going on with the hanyou.
Shippou was hiding behind one of the cave walls. He too was trying to think of a solution to their crisis. Prince Sekanta was getting agitated over the whole thing. He looked over to Kagome's face. Her face was full of fear and he knew she knew what was exactly going on.
"Kagome give the reason why Inuyasha is getting weak" the Prince asked Kagome.
Kagome looked up knowing he knew she knew what was going on. Kagome swallowed hard and then looked back at Inuyasha.
Shippou thought really hard and solved the mystery like Kagome did. He too knew why Inuyasha was getting weak. Shippou began to tremble in fear just like Kagome is. Yet Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha weren't aware what was happening.
"Oh no, Inuyasha tonight is the lunar month. That's when there is no moon and you become weak and become human. The reason you're getting weak is because you're slowly weakening. There isn't any night sky visible in this cave so it takes a bit slower than usual" Shippou thought to himself.
"Inuyasha your ears are gone!" Sango cried out.
"Inuyasha your fangs are gone as well. That could only mean one thing" Miroku concluded.
"Not now!" Inuyasha yelled for mercy.
