Chapter 24: The Bathing Heart
"Really powerful?"
Looking at Inuyasha's solemn expression as if announcing a sacred oath, Kikyo couldn't help but bow her head and murmured, she was deeply touched, Inuyasha, he was serious. After half a ring, Kikyo woke up from a rare loss of consciousness and looked at Inuyasha with the same serious expression.
"You've decided! However, I will not give up, the jade of my four souls will be purified and guarded by me, and it must not be handed over to others, even you! β
For Inuyasha's favor, for the time being, it has not overwhelmed the recognition of his shrine maiden vocation in Kikyo's heart. She is a shrine maiden, and this is also a fate engraved in her soul.
"Yes, that's good, if you get the Jade of the Four Souls so lightly, it's too boring! Kikyo, I'll go first this time, but I won't give up the jade of the four souls, carefully guard the jade of the four souls, it's mine, I will never let others get involved, I will take it from you with dignity! β
Inuyasha said, reaching out and pulling out the two purification arrows that had been depleted of spiritual power, and throwing them back in front of Kikyo. The body flipped upside down, jumped onto the trunk behind him, turned around and prepared to leave. At the moment when he jumped, Inuyasha seemed to think of something, turned his head again, looked at Kikyo, and said in a tone that could not be refused:
"Kikyo, your body is full of the bloody smell of monsters, this pungent smell makes me very unaccustomed! So...... Go to that waterfall right away and wash away the smell of blood on your body, you know? β
"Smell...... Why! I understand! From now on, you will never smell the slightest bit of blood on me again! β
After hearing Inuyasha's tough words, Kikyo couldn't help but lower her head and sniff on her body, although she is a human being, she doesn't have the sensitive sense of smell as Inuyasha, but she has strong spiritual power, and after getting Inuyasha's reminder, she can still find an inexplicable light smell covering up her own girlish body fragrance. I guess it's the smell of blood after killing countless monsters. Although the smell is almost insignificant to humans, it is as striking as a light in the night to the canine monsters, who are known for their sense of smell.
Thinking of Inuyasha's identity, Kikyo, who was already accustomed to this smell, couldn't help but flash a trace of redness, and she was so ashamed that she wished there was a crack in the ground so that she could get in. Even if she is as strong as her, in front of the opposite sex who has a good impression of herself, she can't help but show such a child's posture.
After holding back the shame in his heart and making a promise to Inuyasha, Kikyo immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the waterhole that he had just left. It's so embarrassing to be told by a boy that the smell on his body is bad!
Just when Kikyo came to take a bath in Suncheon at the bottom of the waterfall, Inuyasha didn't go far, just above the waterfall, looking down at the Kikyo below. Kikyo naturally knew that Inuyasha was watching from above, and although it was only the third time they met, there was a faint tacit understanding between the two. Each other's thoughts and thoughts can also be known with just one look and one action.
So Kikyo couldn't wait to go home and prepare something for the bath, but after untying the bow and arrow, he stepped directly into the waterhole with his clothes, and for the first time generously used his spiritual power to clean his body and clothes, and even formed countless points of light in the sky above the waterhole, attracting countless fish, birds and beasts. The disabled wildflowers washed by the waterfall also bloomed one after another with the nourishment of spiritual power.
And Inuyasha, just above, looking at the fairyland below, which is like a fairy bathing, is gradually stupid!
The first day of the official meeting ended with such a result! The two of them, who have a good impression of each other, have achieved their heart's prayers with this battle and dialogue.
Under the pretext of monopolizing the Jade of the Four Souls, Inuyasha can not only stay with Kikyo, but also naturally and secretly help Kikyo eliminate the monsters that attacked Kikyo and the village. And the bellflower,You can also go out to accept the commission to get rid of the demons.,Return to the village to rest at ease.,Like the kind of situation where you need to fight hand-to-hand with a large number of monsters.,Finally, you will never be a wolf again!
"What a powerful and beautiful archery, Kikyo! No matter how you look at it, it's a treat! β
This is the day after the meeting, and the dedicated Kikyo immediately accepts a commission to go to a small lake ten miles away to eliminate demons after knowing that he doesn't have to worry about the village. Naturally, Inuyasha also tacitly followed, for the so-called "Jade of the Four Souls"!
And after seeing the fluttering arrow of the bellflower, the huge fish monster entrenched in the waterhole was purified into countless points of light, and the sassy heroic posture made Inuyasha who was hiding on the side intoxicated. Kikyo's archery is more of an art than its powerful lethality. According to Inuyasha's guess, it is very likely that Kikyo has completely absorbed and digested the spiritual power she left her.
Kikyo, whose strength has reached a higher level, can now be said to really have enough power to fight against Inuyasha.
"It's over!"
Kikyo felt the admiring gaze from Inuyasha behind him, and although his expression didn't change much, his heart was full of sweetness.
"Sister Kikyo!"
Kaede saw that Kikyo had destroyed the youkai, and immediately ran out from behind the tree by calling Kikyo's name. Since she is still young and her spiritual power is weak, in order to avoid being injured by mistake, every time Kikyo excludes the demon, she is asked to hide behind.
"Then go back! Maple! β
Kikyo put away his bow and arrows and commanded Kaede.
"Yes!"
"Kikyo!"
Just as Kikyo turned around and was about to leave, Inuyasha, who was hiding in the tree, jumped down and blocked Kikyo and the others.
"Inuyasha, what's the matter!"
Kikyo looked at Inuyasha in front of her with some surprise, since the last time the two confessed, Inuyasha has been hiding in the dark, she thought that the smell of blood on her body had not completely disappeared, so she almost had to go to the waterhole to take a bath three times in the past few days, but looking at this, it didn't seem to be as she thought.
Kikyo guessed well, she was seen by Inuyasha every day in the shower, and the smell of blood on Kikyo had disappeared yesterday, and even if there was, with Inuyasha's character, he wouldn't mind anything when he saw that Kikyo did that kind of Cheng dΓΉ because of his own words. The reason why Inuyasha has avoided Kikyo these days is actually the normal reaction of an ordinary boy who is shy after talking to the girl he likes for the first time. However, for the two love chicks, this situation is also normal.
And now Inuyasha jumps out, it's normal! Because he couldn't help being lonely! In terms of endurance, Inuyasha, a person who has fused the memories of two lives, is still not as calm and straightforward as Kikyo. And today, Kikyo rarely left the village, and brought Kaede with him, and Inuyasha finally mustered up the courage to stand up again.
However, just when Inuyasha jumped out on impulse, he was stupid after hearing Kikyo's rhetorical question!
"This ...... This one...... Of course, I'm here to take the Jade of the Four Souls! I've already said that I will never give up, the Jade of the Four Souls is mine! β
But Inuyasha is no longer the first brother who was stupid when he first saw Kikyo, and he quickly came back to his senses and said wildly. The confidence and strength contained in the voice are still strong.
"Get that little ghost away, Kikyo!"
"Kaede! Please step down! β
Seeing Inuyasha stomping his feet impatiently there, Kikyo sighed helplessly, turned to his sister and commanded.
"Hmmm! Sister Kikyo, you have to be careful, too! β
Kaede didn't know the relationship between Kikyo and Inuyasha, and after a wary glance at Inuyasha, he trotted behind the tree again.
"Alright, come on, Inuyasha! Pull out your knife! β
Kikyo drew an arrow, placed it on the bowstring, and pointed at Inuyasha in front of him. To be honest, her mind has been full of Inuyasha these days, and if Inuyasha hadn't come to him today, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before she would take the initiative to pull Inuyasha out.
It's not just Inuyasha who suffers from lovesickness!
(Draw your sword, do you want to see my true strength and verify my improved spiritual power at the same time?) Very well, apart from me, I'm afraid there are few people in this world who can make you take a serious shot! οΌ
"Are you serious? Kikyo! β
Inuyasha put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist and asked again.
"Of course, I want to know my current strength!"
Sou!
As soon as Kikyo's voice fell, the Purification Arrow, which had long been ready to be launched, flew unstoppably towards Inuyasha with a powerful spiritual power that was almost condensed into substance, like a meteor.
Money!
A short sound of metal collision sounded, and a silver cold light flashed in front of Inuyasha's body, and in an instant, Kikyo's purifying arrow wrapped in a strong spiritual light cracked violently in the air three meters away from Inuyasha, from the arrow to the end of the arrow, and the aura was split into two pieces together, flying over both sides of Inuyasha, and nailed heavily to the tree behind Inuyasha.
When he looked at Inuyasha again, sure enough, he was holding a two-meter-long silver knife in his right hand, shining in the sun.
"It's ......"
"The trace of the waning moon, my companion for a hundred years!"
Inuyasha took a step forward proudly, and the formidable sword aura instantly overflowed, and the kimono that blew the bellflower danced with the wind, and the style was beautiful.
"Kikyo, ordinary spiritual power is useless to me, let me see the power of your demon-breaking arrow!"
"Hmph, Inuyasha, you're saying this too soon!"
Kikyo is not such an easily angry person, but Inuyasha is special in her heart, so after hearing Inuyasha's contemptuous tone, she is a little angry. And the angry woman is the most terrifying!
Bite......
This time, instead of using her usual bow and arrow, Kikyo pointed the empty longbow at Inuyasha and lightly tapped it in the void. There was only a soft sound, as if a stone had been dropped on the calm surface of the lake, and the air rippled like the surface of the water, radiating from the point of the bellflower longbow.
Suddenly, where the ripples blew, it immediately became a different scene, a clear lake, surrounded by an ethereal and boundless place, encompassing Inuyasha and Kikyo.
Between heaven and earth, only Inuyasha and Kikyo are left! G
