Chapter XXVII
"Inuyasha! There you are, come down! ”
At noon the next day, Kikyo sat alone on the hillside outside the village, looking down on the village he was guarding, waiting for Inuyasha's arrival. She knew that one night would be enough time for Inuyasha to purge the youkai that had invaded the village, just like the night she had fallen in the rain last time.
Sure enough, as soon as Kikyo finished speaking, Inuyasha jumped out of the woods behind him and landed beside Kikyo.
"That...... Don't be embarrassed, I was careless yesterday! ”
"Hmm!"
Hearing Inuyasha's first sentence of apology, Kikyo shook his head slightly, turned his head to look at Inuyasha who was squatting beside him, and replied.
"It's okay, it's not your fault! I've already seen that monster, she herself once possessed the Jade of the Four Souls, so she has a trace of the Jade of the Four Souls in her body, so she can avoid our induction and sneak into the village. And didn't you already save Kaede, and nothing happened to the village! ”
Kikyo didn't mention the reason why Inuyasha arrived in such a timely manner, and why he took the initiative to apologize.
In Inuyasha's consciousness, this is indeed the closest Kikyo is looking at him, so Inuyasha said a little embarrassed.
"I want to thank you!"
"It's not like you!"
Seeing that Kikyo actually bowed politely to himself and thanked him, Inuyasha, who thought that his relationship with Kikyo was extraordinary, looked at Kikyo in surprise. The current bellflower makes Inuyasha a little concerned.
"Inuyasha, what do I look like, do I look like a human?"
Kikyo didn't refute Inuyasha's words, instead turning his gaze back to the peaceful village down the hillside. It seems that after yesterday's attack, the bellflower is indeed a little different.
"Stupid, what are you talking about!"
Inuyasha saw that Kikyo didn't know what was going on, and she actually revealed her true heart in front of him, could it be because of yesterday's incident? The next words also confirmed Inuyasha's speculation.
"I never show weakness to anyone, and I can't hesitate, otherwise you'll be taken advantage of by youkai! Although he is a human being, he can't be an ordinary person, because he must always maintain his strength, protect the Jade of the Four Souls, protect the villagers, and protect those who are hurt by monsters! The shrine maiden is my eternal fate! ”
Kikyo looked at Inuyasha a little gloomily, and slowly told her thoughts, I don't know what's going on, even in front of her own sister, Kikyo didn't tell her thoughts so calmly, but in the face of Inuyasha, her heart couldn't help but open a crack. Ever since she met Inuyasha, and Inuyasha also dealt with all the youkai who were seduced by the Jade of the Four Souls, she has slowly relaxed a little.
Yesterday's events are the best proof of this!
However, the truth told her that it was easy now, and it was too early! As long as the Jade of the Four Souls is still in her hands for a day, then there will definitely be a second and third time for something like yesterday's, until the Jade of the Four Souls disappears.
But after meeting Inuyasha and enjoying this peaceful time with Inuyasha again, Kikyo has gradually become a little tired of his past self, the self that fights endlessly, and is stained with pungent blood.
"What, it's whining, it's not like you!"
Looking at Kikyo who was completely different from before, full of tenderness and weakness, Inuyasha's heart was filled with joy.
That's progress! Kikyo actually confided in himself.,It seems that because of yesterday's incident.,Kikyo has a vague heart to go further with himself.。 The faint happiness contained in the tranquility of the other day was also very warm. But sure enough, if it's too quiet, the relationship between him and Kikyo can only slowly advance over time. Only by throwing a stone on the surface of this calm lake, causing ripples, can you fish in troubled waters. Take the opportunity to break into the heart of Kikyo.
Inuyasha doesn't understand love, however, he's a half-demon, and he just needs to follow his instincts and desires to do it!
He's not a bellflower, he doesn't have the reserve of a woman, and as a man, he takes the initiative!
"Sure enough, it doesn't look like it......
Kikyo laughed self-deprecatingly, and turned his head to Inuyasha again, his eyes full of loneliness and melancholy.
And Inuyasha, who was looking down at the village below like Kikyo, heard this, and also turned his head, just in front of the lonely eyes of Kikyo looking up at him, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pity.
Seeing the Kikyo twisting his face under his burning gaze, Inuyasha couldn't help but pluck up his courage, raised his knees, and quietly moved towards the Kikyo. Hearing the sound of Inuyasha approaching from the grass, Kikyo's body trembled slightly, as if trying to avoid it, but immediately paused again.
"Well! If you can, if you have anything to say to me in the future, I will listen to your complaints, some things, it's better not to hold it in your heart! ”
Seeing that Kikyo didn't react, Inuyasha's confidence increased, and he quickened his movements, and after a while, he moved to Kikyo's side, and the pants on his knees touched his wide kimono. At such a close distance, for the two powerful people, they could almost feel the heat of the other person's body.
"Yes, thank you! Inuyasha! ”
Kikyo doesn't seem to be aware of Inuyasha's movements at all.,It's not moving.,And the face keeps pointing straight ahead.,But if someone looks at it from the front,,You're sure to see that Kikyo's eyes are foggy.,There's no looking at it at all.。
Men are creatures who don't know how to be satisfied and have to make inches, especially in front of the women they like.
Of course, Inuyasha would not mistake Kikyo for not finding himself close and not resisting, which means that Kikyo has accepted it. After receiving this hint of encouragement, Inuyasha also pretended to be engrossed in looking ahead, but quietly reached over with his left hand, going around the back of Kikyo. First, I tentatively touched the sleeve under Kikyo's left hand, and after seeing that Kikyo did not react to refusal, he slowly passed through the inside of Kikyo's arm.
However, just as Inuyasha's hand was about to grab Kikyo's tender waist, Kikyo suddenly stood up, and Inuyasha was so frightened that he immediately put his hand into his sleeve, and crossed his hands in front of his chest, and his bare feet were still shaking there.
Kikyo, who stood up, gave Inuyasha a funny look at the pretentious Inuyasha, amused by his lame disguise. Of course, she knew the small movements of Inuyasha just now. At first, when Inuyasha sneaked closer, she was really going to accept it. But sure enough, Kikyo was still very shy in his heart, especially when Inuyasha's hand passed through his left armpit and was about to retract and hold his body. Kikyo's thumping heart felt like it was about to pop out, which is why she stood up at the last minute and scared Inuyasha's groping pig hand back.
"That...... I remember, Kaede seems to have something to do with me, sorry, Inuyasha, I'll go first! ”
"Kikyo! You'll be here again tomorrow! ”
Inuyasha was also a little embarrassed, but seeing that as soon as Kikyo finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go back, Inuyasha knew that he was in a bit of a hurry. In a hurry, he immediately thought of a remedy.
"When the time comes...... That one...... I have something for you! ”
"There's something for me, is this it?"
Kikyo took out a handkerchief from his bosom and waved it to Inuyasha, the same handkerchief that Inuyasha had left for him to wipe Kikyo's face on a rainy night. 's face hides a hint of pink, and under the rendering of the sunset, it looks more and more delicate and charming.
"No, but like it, it's a relic left to me by my mother!"
"Relic! What about this ......"
Hearing that this handkerchief turned out to be a relic left to him by Inuyasha's mother, Kikyo immediately prepares to hand the handkerchief back to Inuyasha, but Inuyasha refuses without surprise.
"You just hold it, I'm useless anyway! Remember, you must come tomorrow, in the morning, I will be waiting for you here! ”
"Well, I'll definitely come! And it just so happens that I have something I want to give you, too! ”
Kikyo looked at Inuyasha with a smile and thought of something to give Inuyasha as well.
"Oh! Is it the Jade of the Four Souls? ”
Although Inuyasha has now found something far more important than the Jade of the Four Souls, if he really gets the Jade of the Four Souls, Inuyasha will not be polite. No one will be surprised that there are few treasures. Moreover, the Jade of the Four Souls is the original purpose of Inuyasha, so it can't be let go. But this sentence is just a joke, if you really get the jade of the four souls, and then use it to become a real youkai, then Inuyasha is afraid that he will really lose the most precious treasure in his life.
Unconsciously, Kikyo is about to become an indispensable part of his life!
"Do you think it's possible!"
"Humph! I knew it! ”
…………………………
At night, Kikyo is staying up late to make a gift for Inuyasha tomorrow, and the lights that have been on wake up Kaede, who has been asleep.
"It seems to be a prayer bead, but aren't those magatama treasures that have been passed down from generation to generation at the shrine...... You're going to give them to Inuyasha? ”
Kaede came behind Kikyo and looked at the rosary and Magatama on the plate in front of Kikyo, and immediately thought of Inuyasha.
"Yes! Although it's a bit like a plot, it's also to keep him from being evil, and his power is a little too strong, so you have to use these magatama and let him take the initiative to accept it, okay, now it's time to think about what to say about the spell of the soul suppression! ”
Kikyo happily looked at the rosary in his hand, his face flushed, and Kikyo still had hidden words that he didn't say, (as long as Inuyasha has this string of prayer beads, he must stay by my side, and besides, he stays by my side in a dignified manner!) )
"By the way, that shrine maiden named Tsubaki is here, and she has put a wonderful curse on me, huh! I, who have already embarked on the path of Shura, still care about dying! Just to be on the safe side! ”
(To be on the safe side,,Ask Inuyasha tomorrow.,Because when Tsubaki cast the curse,,It seems that he was injured by a counterattack) At this time, Kikyo has expected something.,If you can really have a lover who likes you.,Well,What's the point of dying unexpectedly.。
"Well, the spell of soul calming might be ...... 'beloved'"
Kaede, who was behind Kikyo, looked at the happy smile on her happy sister's face, but somehow felt a little uneasy.
At this time, Inuyasha was speeding towards the valley that had been treasured by Inuyasha for more than a hundred years, thousands of miles away, and the last of the three relics left by his mother was there.
At the same time, there are countless spell books, Taoist magic weapons, and countless treasures there. Although these things are of little use to himself, they are a necessity of life for human beings, and those magic books can also be used as gifts for his mother's relics.
Life needs surprises to embellish!
Inuyasha, who is already preparing to station his roots in the village of Kikyo, plans to move all these things to his new home. G
