Chapter 13: A Friend Who Came Suddenly
A place shrouded in darkness, a claustrophobic space full of eternity and desolation.
Time seems to stand still, but the eternal silence remains.
The Burial River felt like a rootless weed, floating for a long, long time, so long that he had forgotten how to count the time.
It wasn't until a light suddenly came into view that he immediately used all his strength to move closer to that side.
"Sister, come on, big brother, he's awake!" The boy's immature voice reached the ears of the burial river.
"I ...... Where is this? Fuhe looked at the unfamiliar environment and people in front of him, and his mind was confused for a while.
"Burial River!"
Sunset Kagome hears the shouts of her younger brother Sunset Kusota and immediately rushes back to her room from the living room.
"Kagome!" Buried River stroked his forehead, he remembered that he had chased Sunset Kagome into the Well of Bones, and then fell into a strange space, and then sleepiness hit him, and he fell asleep.
"This is my home, you are welcome to come and visit!"
Sunset Kagome looked at the funeral river in front of her, smiling all over her cheeks, very happy.
......
In the living room of Kagome's house.
The mature woman with short hair sat upright on the tatami mat and asked Grandpa Kagome with a look of disbelief: "Grandpa, is what Kagome said true?" ”
"It's true, a monster suddenly ran out from under the ancient well, and then I took my sister away." Before Grandpa Kagome could speak, Kusa seemed very excited and couldn't wait to say it.
Hearing Kusata's words, Grandpa Kagome also showed an unfathomable expression, and slowly explained: "The reason why the ancient well of our shrine is called the 'Bone-eating Well' is because it is an evil dry well that once the remains of a youkai fall into it, it doesn't know where it will disappear, and if the so-called 'where' refers to the time tunnel, I can't ignore it." ”
"Meow!" Meow Gnats yawned suddenly, wondering if it was something else about Grandpa Kagome's words.
Ignoring the strange gaze of Kusata and his daughter-in-law, Kagome's grandfather walked out with his hands behind his back and with a heavy heart.
......
"That's it! Hey, hey, hey, hey....."
In the thick of the night, next to the dry well in the backyard of the shrine, a rickety figure kept trembling, and it was letting out bursts of panicked bad laughter.
......
Warring States period.
After Inuyasha settles the injured Kaede, he then follows her request to find Sunset Kagome and Buri River.
"There's nothing wrong with the smell, this is, that stinky woman's clothes, did she really run back?"
Next to the bone-eating well, Inuyasha smelled all the way here with his innate super sense of smell.
"Is it in here?"
The smell disappeared from the well, and Inuyasha's unusually thick brain jumped straight down without the slightest hesitation.
......
"It's still the best in my own home! I can't believe it, I was in the Warring States period just now. ”
"That's the name of the one called Reverse Hair Yura! Who is she? Is it a youkai who wants to grab the jade of the four souls? If I knew that the fragments had been snatched, Inuyasha would be very angry! ”
Sunset Kagome rolls around on the bed alone, and the only thing listening to her is the cat gnats.
"Whatever you like! Even if I go looking for it alone. Inuyasha's disdainful words by the river still echoed in the girl's ears.
"That's right, it doesn't matter if Inuyasha doesn't have me anyway, and the burial river! ......The girl suddenly remembered that she seemed to have left the funeral river alone in the guest room.
"Kagome, Yuga is calling you. Also, it's time to eat! At this time, Kagome's mother's voice sounded downstairs.
"Good!"
Not wanting to think too much about it, Sunset Kagome patted her little face and ran downstairs with a cheerful stride.
......
"Is this the world in 500 years?" Burial River looked at the furnishings in the room with strange eyes.
Since it is a guest room, the whole room does not seem to have many things, so it is very spacious.
However, the light bulb that emitted a warm white light from the ceiling had already surprised the burial river.
"This ...... That one...... Big brother Fuhe, my sister asked me to come over and call you for dinner. Sunset invited too politely.
Previously, Sunset Kagome explained to her family that Buri River was a mage in the village where her shrine was located 500 years ago.
In this regard, the sunset grass that is in the elementary school is of course very curious.
As for Grandpa Kagome, he has been ordered by Sunset Kagome to prohibit private contact with the Burial River.
"Thank you!" After Burying River, he immediately stood up and followed Sunset Kusa to the living room.
"What is the relationship between Brother Fuhe and my sister?" Sunset grass couldn't help but quipped that children now know more than adults.
"Perhaps, friends are not counted!" Burial River remembers his appearance after transformation, and probably only Inuyasha can accept it!
Although Grandma Feng loves him, it is normal for people to feel that the sensitive Fuhe always feels that she, like the villagers, is also afraid of his ugly appearance.
The sunset grass on the side nodded too incomprehensibly, and in his young mind, he mistakenly understood that this should be a quarrel between lovers!
......
During the dinner, Sunset Kagome's family is very understanding and does not explore the past of the burial river.
Burying He, who is not good at communicating with others, only cares about burying his head in eating and saying "thank you" gratefully.
"I said, grandpa, is it true that the seal of that ancient well can no longer be opened?" Sunset Kusota suddenly put down the bowl in his hand and questioned his grandfather.
"Of course, grandpa used the most effective spell to seal the ancient well to death, no matter how strong the demons and monsters are, it is impossible to break in. So, Kusata, Kagome, you just believe in grandpa's spiritual power, don't worry! Grandpa Kagome held his head high and clenched his fists confidently.
"Then how should Brother Fuhe go back?" Sunset Kusota raised a key issue.
"Uh...... Well, this one! Grandpa Kagome was stunned, he hadn't thought about it from beginning to end.
"Anyway, grandpa's spirit runes are basically parallel goods, so just tear them up!" Sunset Kagome interjected indifferently.
Hearing this, the originally nervous Fuhe suddenly relaxed, and continued to eat the rice in his hand as if nothing had happened.
Seeing the expression of the buried river doing nothing, Grandpa Kagome wanted to die, which was simply the biggest humiliation for him.
"Click......"
However, not long after it was quiet, there was a rush of footsteps in the hallway outside the sliding door.
"Smack!"
The silver-haired, half-demon boy in a crimson fire rat robe pushed open the wooden door, and suddenly appeared in front of Kagome's family and the burial river.
"Inu~Night~Fork~"
