Chapter 9: The Meeting of Fate

Under the retention of the shrimp cricket, Inuyasha is not easy to refuse, and the matter of the jade of the four souls is embarrassed to ask again, and in the two days that he lived in the demon removal village, he also used his own teeth to help the shrimp cricket reforge the flying bones, and at the same time rode the mica to experience the feeling of flying, and gave it a collar that could resist the miasma and some attacks.

Two days later, the villagers of the Demon Removal Village had cleaned up the remains of the youkai who had been killed by Inuyasha, and Inuyasha also said goodbye to the shrimp crickets and embarked on the road of finding the jade of the four souls again, however, he had already gotten the clue, because since the shrimp cricket had once held the jade of the four souls, then they must have given it away, and it was also given to a mage or shrine maiden who could protect the jade of the four souls and purify the jade of the four souls, so Inuyasha only needs to find it around here.

After about a month, through the information of the perceptual youkai gathered here, Inuyasha finally knew the location of the Jade of the Four Souls, and a shrine maiden named Kikyo guarded it, and at the same time purified the huge evil energy of the Jade of the Four Souls with her own soul.

Just as Inuyasha was on his way to that village, the day of the new moon of each month came again.

"If you don't hurry, it's going to be a lot of trouble tonight!"

Inuyasha quickly rushed towards the forest near the village where the rumored witch with the jade of the four souls was located, and now there are more and more youkai here, if those guys see that they have become * humanoid, their secrets will be exposed, so Inuyasha wants to find a safe place before the sun sets, and wait until tomorrow to grab the jade of the four souls.

"What!"

There was a sudden loud bang in the forest ahead, and Inuyasha, who was already close to the edge of the forest, immediately saw the huge demonic energy floating above the forest, and at the same time, his sensitive nose also smelled the smell wafting from inside.

"It smells of blood, and it's a monster!"

Inuyasha quickly jumped up the tree and sneaked to the place where the smell of blood was coming from.

"A human woman! Is that really a woman! ”

It's no wonder Inuyasha thinks so, looking through the gap in the dense forest, a shrine maiden appears in Inuyasha's sight, she stands there a little shaky, and at her feet are a large number of youkai corpses.

"Huh! It's started! What a terrible situation! ”

At this moment, the sun finally set, Inuyasha's paws and ears faded, and his hair turned the same black as the night.

"How long do you want to hide?"

At this time, Kikyo spoke, although she was exhausted, but now she still managed not to fall, because once she showed the slightest fatigue, the youkai hiding in the tree could easily kill herself and take away the Jade of the Four Souls. At this time, the heavy rain finally fell, wetting Kikyo's shrine maiden costume.

"Damn, has the breath leaked when I became a *human just now?" Inuyasha hates the secret way.

"Are you also here for the Jade of the Four Souls?"

Hearing no answer, Kikyo turned to look at Inuyasha's location, his eyes even colder.

"The Jade of the Four Souls! What is that, what is the Jade of the Four Souls? ”

If it is said that it is for the jade of the four souls, this woman will definitely attack herself, and when she becomes a * human, Inuyasha will not open the killing ring, because as a half-demon, he is already covered in blood, and Inuyasha does not want to be full of blood in human beings, this is the oath he made in front of his mother's grave.

Kikyo quietly commented on Inuyasha's direction as if to identify the truth of the other party's words, and after observing for a while, seeing that Inuyasha did not move at all, Kikyo's heart finally calmed down a little.

"If you don't know, forget it! But if you don't want to...... If you die at my hand, don't come near me again!" ”

From the cold words of the bellflower, Inuyasha somehow heard a deep sadness and helplessness, looking through the gap in the leaves, although the face of the shrine maiden under the tree was covered with battle stains, but in the coldness there was a different kind of tenderness, that confident and tenacious eyes and elegant and gentle temperament, instantly attracted Inuyasha to the past, looking at the strong back of the bellflower who turned away, Inuyasha only felt a tremor in his heart, as if he was caught by something, and wanted to stop the back in front of him into his arms.

"Huh!"

Kikyo, who hadn't walked a few steps after turning around, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and the composure and conversation just now had exhausted her last bit of strength. The bow in his hand fell to the ground first, and Kikyo's body slowly fell to the ground, making a splash.

"Hey! You okay! ”

Inuyasha, who is obsessed with Kikyo's back, sees Kikyo fall into the water, and quickly jumps off the tree and runs to Kikyo's side, helping Kikyo's delicate body. The clean rain washed away the stains on Kikyo's face, revealing Kikyo's fair and beautiful goose egg face and delicate facial features. Inuyasha pulled out the handkerchief his mother had left for him from his pocket, and carefully wiped the stained rain on Kikyo's face as if he were facing a rare treasure.

"What kind of witch is this, so strong and beautiful, there can be a woman like ZĂ i in this world!"

Looking closely, Kikyo's demeanor and appearance were more clearly reflected in Inuyasha's eyes, and looking at the woman lying quietly in his arms with her eyes closed, Inuyasha was moved.

"Kikyo-sama......"

"Kikyo Sister ......"

There was a sudden shout in the distance, and Inuyasha looked at it, and countless torches were slowly approaching this side, and it seemed that the villagers had found it. Inuyasha reluctantly glanced at Kikyo and carefully straightened her.

"I'll come back to you, Kikyo!"

Standing up, Inuyasha, who had become a little confused, looked at the torches in the distance, leaned down again and ran away in the opposite direction from the villagers.

"Sister Kikyo!"

The attentive Kaede first spotted the bellflower lying in the rain, and immediately ran to the bellflower's side with a scream, and kept calling the name of the bellflower.

"Is it Kaede!"

Kikyo slowly opened his eyes and looked at his sister.

"It's all right! Hey, this handkerchief is ......"

Kaede helped Kikyo up and asked with concern, but immediately saw the white cherry blossom handkerchief on Kikyo's shoulder and hesitated.

"Hmmm! Give it to me! ”

Kikyo took the handkerchief from his sister's hand and looked in the direction Inuyasha had left, with a puzzled and melancholy look on his face, in fact, when Inuyasha helped her up, Kikyo was already a little more sober, but because he was too tired, he didn't open his eyes, so Inuyasha heard all the words he said when he wiped her face for her, and finally Inuyasha's gentle expression when he was leaving was even more clear from her eyes.

"Humph! Not only did he let me go, but he also ......"

Saying this, the face of the bellflower, who had fully sobered up, showed a hint of blush, those words can't be said in front of Kaede, no, they can't be said in front of anyone anymore. Clenched the handkerchief in his hand, and a warmth rose in Kikyo's heart.

And at this time,Inuyasha, who was quietly observing Kikyo from a distance, was finally relieved to see Kikyo being discovered.,It's only after seeing Kaede pick up his handkerchief that he remembers that he dropped the handkerchief in a hurry.,But when the handkerchief entered Kikyo's hand,Inuyasha somehow suddenly became nervous.,Although it was used by women at that time.,But it's one of the only three relics left by his mother.,But this nervous mood is not at all due to the relics being taken away by others., On the contrary, I felt a little happy about falling into the hands of Kikyo.

It wasn't until he watched Kikyo return to the village under the escort of the villagers that Inuyasha returned to the woods with peace of mind, and his ups and downs calmed down a little.

"What's wrong with me today, how can I be so out of shape when facing Kikyo, and this mood that hasn't completely calmed down until now, ......what is it?"

The more he thought about it, the more confused Inuyasha became, lying on the trunk of the tree, staring at the endless sky after the rain stopped, and fell asleep unconsciously, and Kikyo's face after being washed by the rain lingered in Inuyasha's mind, and accompanied him to sleep.
