Chapter Twenty-Six: Kaede's Suspicions

"Sister Kikyo, that youkai is ......"

Back at home, Kaede finally couldn't help but ask Kikyo about Inuyasha.

"Ahh His name is Inuyasha, and he is...... It's a half-demon! But don't worry, he won't hurt humans, but ......"

Hearing Kaede's question, Kikyo came back to his senses from the incident of meeting Inuyasha again, and remembered the side of his gaffe just now, not only Inuyasha, but also Kaede saw it. But Kikyo only lost his mind for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, regained his usual gentleness, and explained softly.

"On the contrary?"

Kaede tilted her head to look at her abnormal sister, although she knew the name and identity of the red-clothed monster, and Kikyo said not to worry, but the doubts in her heart did not decrease but increased. Moreover, it seems that my sister said for the first time that monsters don't hurt humans.,Half-demon.,It's also a monster!

In Kaede's young mind, she couldn't understand such complicated things, but one thing she knew very well was that the relationship between Inuyasha and Kikyo was absolutely extraordinary. Between them, there must be some secrets.

"Hmmm! Nothing, you just have to know he's not a bad guy! Okay, after walking so far, you're tired, go rest, I'll go out for a while! ”

This time, Kikyo didn't explain more, and the wonderful relationship between her and Inuyasha didn't want others to know about it for the time being. Although that happened with Inuyasha just now, Kikyo wasn't really angry. Although Inuyasha had already said that she no longer had the smell of blood that he hated, she was still going to take a bath in the waterfall in the back mountains, just like she had done the other day.

After these few days, she has become accustomed to the feeling of bathing with Inuyasha secretly guarding her, which makes her feel a bit like a tryst!

Thinking of Inuyasha, Kikyo couldn't help but smile on his lips. Ever since she met Inuyasha, she seems to be laughing more and more. She usually disguises her indifference, but she has gradually revealed the tenderness hidden in the depths of her heart.

The bellflower, isn't it just a scorching snow lotus, an iceberg, but it can't hide her gentleness and enthusiasm!

………………………………

"Sour berry grass, it seems that my sister said that it can be used to reduce swelling......"

In the forest behind the village, Kaede is happily picking herbs by himself.

Although she can't help her sister, Kaede still tries to do something she can, like this kind of herb picking work, she can do it, and at the same time, she can learn how to identify herbs to prepare for future shrine maiden cultivation. At this time, Kikyo was washing her body in the waterhole, so she just took the time to pick herbs by herself.

"The Jade of the Four Souls!"

Just when Kaede happily put the herbs into the basket, the hundred-legged demon who escaped from the demon extermination village and escaped the catastrophe of Inuyasha due to his broken body happened to come to the sky above the forest, and when he saw the lone Kaede, almost only the upper body was still intact and shook happily, and he pounced towards Kaede from the air with teeth and claws.

"I'm going to take you hostage and snatch the Jade of the Four Souls from Kikyo!"

"Help!"

Kaede realized that it was not good when she heard the ugly cry of the hundred-legged demon, and it was not the first time she had encountered such a situation. Ever since my sister Kikyo got the Jade of the Four Souls, there have been such monsters rushing over every day calling the name of the Jade of the Four Souls. But in the past, Sister Kikyo was present, and it was very easy to deal with these hateful monsters. However, in the past few days, I don't know why, the monsters seem to have all disappeared, except for the day before yesterday, she was commissioned to go to a nearby town to get rid of the demons, she has not seen a monster, so she will take advantage of her sister's bathing to pick herbs, I didn't expect that there would be monsters attacking.

Frightened, Kaede immediately screamed and ran towards the waterhole where her sister was bathing.

"Not good!"

At the same time, Inuyasha, who was guarding the waterhole and watching the bellflower beauty bathing, also vaguely felt a faint demonic aura, as well as Kaede's panicked cry for help. Realizing that Kaede was in danger, Inuyasha slammed his right foot on the cliff, and the burst of demonic power instantly caused him to disappear in place, rushing in the direction from which the sound came from at twice the speed of an instant.

And here, the hundred-legged demon flying in the air quickly caught up with Kaede who was running away on the ground, and her mouth let out an ugly and smug laugh. However, accidents always come when a person is most proud, and just when the hundred-legged demon is about to catch Kaede, Inuyasha, who has turned on the double flash, has already come to the forest here and sees the farce of chasing and killing that is being staged.

Yes, it's turned into a farce!

"Bastard, you dare to hurt Kikyo's sister, and you still want to seize the jade of the four souls, go die! Soul Scattering Iron Claw! ”

"Ah......h

Inuyasha flashed in front of Kaede in an instant, and directly at the hundred-legged demon that rushed over is a soul-scattering iron claw, three huge silver wind blades, with Inuyasha's claw wind, it tore the hundred-legged demon to pieces at once.

"Stupid guy, I sneaked in while I wasn't there, a little monster like you, just be obediently torn apart, hehe!"

"That'...... That one! You saved my life, thank you! ”

Seeing Inuyasha, who was still laughing arrogantly on the corpse after killing the hundred-legged demon, Kaede couldn't help but shrink his head, but he immediately realized that the other party had saved him, and it was rude to do so, so he cowered and stepped forward and whispered a thank you to Inuyasha!

"No, you're Kikyo's sister, of course I can't hurt you, and the Jade of the Four Souls is mine, how can I let this miscellaneous monster take it away by such a despicable means."

Of course, Inuyasha couldn't tell SΓΉ Kaede that the reason why this youkai was able to sneak in here was because he peeked at the bellflower bathing and didn't patrol in time, so he let the youkai take advantage of it. In that case, not only did he tell Kaede about the wonderful relationship between him and Kikyo, but he was also embarrassed. After all, when Kikyo was bathing, he knew about Inuyasha's storage, and Inuyasha was the same, but neither of them pierced the thin paper.

Because, this kind of thing, only the closest people, can be!

Deep down in the hearts of Kikyo and Inuyasha, they have actually slowly accepted each other, but for the time being, there is still an opportunity to deepen their emotions and understanding, and then it will come naturally.

Inuyasha, who casually made an excuse, rubbed his nose a little embarrassed, Kaede's distress was his own mistake after all. Moreover, it is a little embarrassing to lie to such a little girl, even if it is Inuyasha. As soon as he finished speaking, Inuyasha felt the breath of the bellflower, and it was not far from here. It seems that due to his hasty departure, Kikyo also knew that something must have happened, so he hurried over.

Inuyasha immediately turned around and disappeared in a flash. Before Kikyo could find him, he was going to sweep around the village again, and this time the incident, Sue SΓΉ Inuyasha, the new youkai, had arrived.

"Kaede! Are you okay? It's ......"

Just a dozen seconds after Inuyasha left, Kikyo, who was just wearing a yukata that was still dripping, finally arrived. Seeing that her sister was safe and sound, the anxious Kikyo finally breathed a sigh of relief, although it was a little later than Inuyasha, but she also discovered the demonic aura of the hundred-legged demon.

"Ahh Sister Kikyo, I'm fine! ”

Seeing her sister Kikyo, Kaede immediately ran over, ignoring the fact that Kikyo was still dripping, and pounced directly. She was really scared just now, if Inuyasha hadn't arrived in time, she would have been caught by the Hundred-legged Demon by now, and she would have become a hostage to threaten Sister Kikyo.

"This kind of youkai? It was Inuyasha who saved you! ”

Seeing the corpse of the hundred-legged demon on the ground that had not completely dissipated, Kikyo picked up his sister's face and asked in an affirmative tone.

"Well, it's the half-demon from last time!"

Kaede nodded and replied.

"Don't call him a half-demon, Inuyasha doesn't like people to call him that! You'll ...... later In the future, let's call him Inuyasha brother! ”

"Inuyasha...... Brother? ”

Kaede hesitated for a moment, and finally called out hesitantly under the undeniable eyes of the bellflower.

Brother, if you have a sister, there seems to be another title!

Brother-in-law!

Although Feng is young, she is not stupid, especially the changes in her familiar sister in the past few days, she also sees it. Originally, she didn't know why, but seeing Inuyasha twice in a row, as well as today's youkai attack, and her sister appearing behind Inuyasha in a yukata, had already made her find a clue.

"The corpse of this hundred-legged demon still contains demonic power, let's throw it into the dry well behind the shrine, in there, she shouldn't be able to feel the power of the Jade of the Four Souls!"

However, it seems that Kikyo didn't realize that her sister had become suspicious of her relationship with Inuyasha, and she set her eyes on the corpse of the hundred-legged demon on the ground, which still exuded demonic power and resentment.

It seems that due to her appearance, Inuyasha did not have time to completely eliminate the hundred-legged demon. Moreover, the bellflower can see that the hundred-legged demon has the breath of the jade of the four souls. This monster should have possessed the Jade of the Four Souls, so he dragged his broken body to find it!

In Japan, corpses are sacred, even if the other party is a youkai!

Although the kind-hearted Kikyo is very ruthless when destroying youkai, she is still very soft-hearted towards the dead. According to the tradition of the village, Kikyo plans to throw the corpse of the hundred-legged demon into the bone-eating well behind the village, so that she will disappear into this world completely.

"Well, I understand, I'll go to the village and call someone over right away, Sister Kikyo, you ......"

Kaede pointed to Kikyo's wet yukata and whispered.

"Don't worry, I'm not that weak! Go back with confidence! This monster was just an accident, and I believe there should be no second time. Inuyasha, that guy is going to get rid of the new youkai that broke in, and I'll be back as soon as I'm done bathing! ”

Kikyo has made bathing three times a day a habit in his life. It's just that I'm afraid Inuyasha won't come back today, so Kikyo doesn't plan to drag it anymore, and without Inuyasha watching secretly, Kikyo feels very unaccustomed to it, and always feels like something is missing.

"I see! That sister, be careful, I'm leaving! ”

Kaede looked at the back of her distant sister with strange eyes, and only after she disappeared from her vision did she turn around and run towards the village. G
