"......What is this feeling?"

Kagome supported Grandma Feng, obviously anxious to die, but there was no way to hurry.

After all, where is the age of Grandma Feng, there is no horse and no car here, and the old man can't be as fast as he wants.

"Qibao, aren't you going to transform, can you give us a ride?"

"Oh! Good idea, I forgot. ”

Shippo, who was lying on Kagome's shoulder, was stunned for a moment.

Immediately reacted, jumped off Kagome's shoulder and prepared to transform.

However, just before Qibao made a move, Grandma Feng couldn't support it.

She stopped, bent over her knees and gasped, "No, don't worry about my Kagome......"

"People are old, it's just useless, you go Kagome, let me rest here first."

"But Grandma Feng, it's not safe for you to be here alone!"

Kagome, who is kind-hearted, is not very relieved that Grandma Feng is here alone.

In this regard, Qibao glanced at Grandma Kaede's state, and mustered up the courage to recommend herself: "Don't worry, Kagome!" Don't forget, I'm there too! ”

"Shippo, you ......"

Kagome looked at the two of them hesitantly.

Suddenly! In the distance, a fierce roar of battle could be heard in the forest.

Kagome was startled, and immediately thought of who was fighting: "It's Inuyasha and Maitreya Mage!" ”

"What a terrible aftermath of the battle......"

Grandma Feng is also very concerned about the battle situation ahead.

So she took off her bow and arrows and handed them to Kagome, and urged, "Leave us alone, Kagome, go quickly!" ”

"yes, Kagome! Leave it to me! ”

Shippo trembled a little at the sound of the battle.

Despite his weak strength, he is a mascot in the team.

But at least, Shippo won't be dragging behind everyone.

And there are times when Shippo can still come in handy, like now.

"Okay, then Grandma Feng will ask you to protect her, Qibao!"

"Hmmm! I see! ”

After explaining, Kagome hurriedly ran towards the battlefield with a bow and arrow.

Kagome, who didn't look back, didn't see it at this time, and behind her running, a ripple suddenly rippled in the void.

Seeing this, Grandma Feng, who was resting in place, couldn't help but feel a little solemn.

"That's ...... Enchantment!? ”

"But why, is there an enchantment in this forest?"

"Besides, how did Kagome just cross that barrier?"

Shippo doesn't know much about it, but don't talk about him.

Even Grandma Feng herself didn't quite understand what had just happened.

——

——

It is said that Grandma Kaede and Shippo were worried about Kagome's safety outside the enchantment.

On the other side, Kagome is here.

A girl who crashed headlong into an enchantment.

Not only was she unaware of it, she wasn't even aware of it.

I just forced my way through a powerful barrier.

Kagome, who was worried about Inuyasha, sprinted in the direction of the battle ahead.

And he still prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Inuyasha would be okay and that he would wait for him......

A simple and brave girl who forgets the fear of the darkness in front of her.

In a few moments, she was walking through a dark bush that she would not normally venture into.

Slowing slightly, Kagome looked around and found herself in front of a wide field of grass.

"This is ......"

Kagome, who failed to find Inuyasha and Maitreya, unexpectedly found something familiar.

"Mikamiki, how did I come here?"

"Could it be that I'm lost?"

The big sacred tree that I saw in my hometown since I was a child is all too familiar to Kagome.

In addition, recalling that at the beginning, the girl was also on this tree, and the fate of the half-demon was concluded.

Kagome, who didn't have time to waste in it, wanted to leave here in a different direction and continue to look for someone.

But who knows, just as she was about to turn around, a gentle footstep came from behind Mijinki.

“…… Is it Inuyasha!? ”

Kagome, who was a little frightened, first subconsciously opened her mouth to call the other party.

However, the girl, who did not receive an answer, instinctively showed a nervous expression, and raised the bow and arrow in her hand.

At this moment, a whining sound that seemed to be a low wail sounded from the sky overhead.

Kagome was stunned for a moment, but when she looked up, she saw a group of dead soul insects grabbing the dead soul and slowly landing.

Finally, they danced around Kikyo's side.

"You! You are ......"

"Kikyo!?"

Looking at the face that was exactly the same, but slightly more mature than himself.

After the ghost woman Li Tao incident, the girl naturally learned some information about the bellflower.

Especially when she learned from Grandma Kaede's mouth that the bellflower looked exactly like herself, and she might still be the reincarnation of the other party.

At that moment, Kagome already had a slight affection and curiosity for Kikyo, an unmasked stranger.

After all, when I encountered this kind of thing in my previous life, I didn't dare to write so casually.

"How did you get through my barrier?"

Faced with Kikyo's questioning, Kagome's originally excited mood was immediately doused by a touch of cold water.

She lowered her head embarrassedly and shyly, and asked herself: "Ahhhhh ”

Looking at the girl's rough nervous performance, Kikyo raised his hand expressionlessly to hold a ball of dead souls and slowly put it into his chest to absorb it.

"You're here for Inuyasha too, aren't you?"

Suddenly hearing Kikyo talking about Inuyasha, Kagome instantly came back to her senses and hurriedly shouted.

"By the way, Kikyo, Inuyasha is in danger now, his eldest brother Sesshomaru is here, we have to help him!"

"Don't make such a fuss, I know all these things."

"Huh? You know all about it? ”

Kikyo's attitude made Kagome's heart suddenly ripple with a strange wave.

Having said that, is it good or bad for bellflower to appear here at this time?

The girl coldly recalled what she heard from Grandma Feng about that day after the Ghost Po Li Tao incident.

"Kikyo...... Could it be that you are here to kill Inuyasha? ”

After hearing Kagome's words, the expression on Kikyo's face suddenly changed and became a little impatient.

She slowly approached the girl step by step, and said indifferently: "Opening and closing your mouth is Inuyasha, Inuyasha's ......"

When Kagome approached, Kikyo stopped.

At this moment, the eyes of the two girls were intertwined, as if the domineering spirit of the overlord was colliding fiercely.

The former exuded an aura that belonged to the eldest wife of the main palace and looked at the girl, as if there was a dragon behind her.

And the girl was not to be outdone, and took out the courage to compete with the other party, and a fierce tiger loomed behind her.

"It's just an outsider, little girl, don't you think you're cheeky?"

"Besides, Inuyasha's life was mine, and he owes it to me."

"I'm going to kill him, why should you stop him?"

"Also, who are you from Inuyasha?"

Before she could react, the girl was beaten by the bellflower's continuous elimination, and was forced to be speechless from multiple directions.

Thinking about it carefully, the girl also felt that she really didn't have a position to stand here and confront Kikyo.

After all, she asked herself, and she really couldn't find out what her identity was by Inuyasha's side.

It's barely okay to say a partner, but if you want to escalate to an emotional aspect.

Kagome wasn't really sure if she liked Inuyasha or not.

At least for now, it is impossible to know for sure.

At most, at most, it can be regarded as the level of generating favorability.

Therefore, the girl who couldn't refute it head-on, her face was red before she squeezed out a sentence.

"I, I, and Inuyasha are partners, friends."

"So...... I won't let you hurt him!" ”

In the face of the girl's answer, Kikyo's face became more and more indifferent.

She didn't want to talk too much about the girl in front of her about feelings.

Because Kikyo didn't regard her as an opponent at all.

"Little girl, being so stubborn will only make me hate you more."

"You know, you're actually in the way."

"Who's in the way! And my name is Kagome! Don't call—"

Kagome, who retorted angrily, saw Kikyo raise his hand before he finished speaking, and his sword finger lightly touched his forehead.

In the next second, Kagome's heart was shocked! The reason is that her body can't move!

Use spells to seal Kagome's ability to move, and even after her presence is erased.

Kikyo ordered the surrounding Necro Worms to tie Kagome, who had turned into a statue, to the Okami Tree.

Before leaving, Kikyo noticed the fragment of the Jade of the Four Souls that fell out of the girl's neck.

After thinking about it, Kikyo still took the pieces away.

"Since you're so insistent, then just let Inuyasha decide."

——

——

Time accelerates to the present.

Kikyo uses his knee pillow to serve the seriously injured Inuyasha.

At the same time, he looked up at Kagome, who had been tied to the sacred tree by the Dead Soul Worms.

The words that made the second dog shiver down his spine came out.

"Inuyasha, I ask you ......"

"The girl named Kagome."

"Between me and her, who do you choose?"

Regarding this proposition, Inuyasha himself said.

Can you choose by yourself? Is this a matter of choice?

I had a good boat under my feet.

Now it's the ship that cracks on its own, and you blame me?

I almost split my crotch and fell into the river, do you know?

If you can't choose, you can't choose, and you won't choose it in your life.

Probably......
