Chapter 7: Shrine Maiden Kikyo
"Don't you really want to be paid!"
Tsubaki said to Kikyo who was about to leave with Kaede.
"Ahh Miss Tsubaki just takes it! â
Kikyo and Kaede travel around the world together not for money, but for the sake of destroying those monsters that are dangerous to humans, so she can fill her stomach as long as she can, and she doesn't need too much money.
"Yes! Then I'm sorry! â
Kikyo glanced back at Tsubaki and started to leave again, when Tsubaki's words stopped her again.
"Kikyo Lady, as the same traveling shrine maiden, I have a word of advice!"
Tsubaki looked at Kikyo with a malicious smile.
"The shrine maiden can only really exert her power if she abandons the human heart, but since she is a woman, she may fall in love!"
"Love Network!"
Kikyo chuckled and looked back at Tsubaki.
"Are you talking about me?"
"Ting!"
Tsubaki's eyes suddenly flashed red, and she said to the bellflower who was looking at her as if she had sworn an oath:
"Don't forget, don't fall in love, don't feel that a man is worth your love, if such a man appears, you will die...... Yes...... Cough! â
Tsubaki, who had just finished speaking, suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain in his mind, and at the same time, his heart jumped like an explosion, and Tsubaki only felt a sweetness in his throat, and a stream of blood spurted out.
At the same time, Inuyasha in the distance only felt that Dao's soul was inexplicably shrouded in a shadow, and Inuyasha, who had traveled for two hundred years, would soon see that this was a curse.
"Humph! Someone dared to curse me, but it seems that this curse is not complete! â
Inuyasha instantly used his extremely pure demonic power to devour the curse, and at the same time, through the connection of the curse, he sent out a spiritual thorn, and hit back at the guy who issued the curse to him.
"Sister!"
Kaede glanced at Tsubaki, who was vomiting blood, and pulled Kikyo's sleeve.
"Humph! I remember, but Tsubaki-san should pay attention to herself! Kaede, let's go! â
Seeing Tsubaki vomiting blood, Kikyo immediately thought of something, and pulled Kaede to leave immediately.
After Kikyo and Kaede left, Tsubaki squirted out a mouthful of blood again, looking at the already missing Kikyo with an ugly face.
"Damn, Kikyo's curse seems to have succeeded, but the object of another curse has failed, and who is that man, who can actually fight back against me through the curse, damn guy, I'm going to let your beloved woman Kikyo die!"
And Inuyasha didn't know that the person who cast the curse just now didn't succeed in landing on him, but he did succeed in landing on his future beloved, and he was chasing and killing a few mountain monsters who called himself half-demon like a cat and a mouse.
"That woman named Tsubaki is such an uncomfortable guy!"
Kikyo, who had already gone far, looked at his sister Kaede with a puzzled look and said.
"What's wrong! Did it have anything to do with her sudden vomiting of blood just now? â
Kaede asked the doubts in her heart.
"Yes! She just cursed me! â
"Curse!"
Although he was explained, Kaede still didn't understand.
"Nothing! It's not a big deal, because it's a two-way curse, and it has two people in it, and I ...... How could I possibly fall in love with anyone! â
"Then why did she vomit blood?"
Kaede's doubts hit Kikyo's hesitation just now.
"Because although the curse has taken effect on me, the other person in the curse has broken it, and it seems that the curse has injured the person who issued the curse."
Yes, Kikyo hesitated on this, because since Tsubaki was injured, it means that the other person who cursed is indeed zĂ i, that is to say, the person who injured Tsubaki is the man he will fall in love with in the future. However, Kikyo can't admit it in his heart.
However, Kaede was too young, so he didn't hear Tsubaki's curse and the meaning of Kikyo's words just now, so he didn't ask again, and quietly accompanied Kikyo to his village.
Towards evening, Kikyo and Kaede finally returned to the village after a long absence, and at the entrance of the village, there were already many people waiting there.
"Welcome back, Kikyo-sama!"
"Kikyo-sama, a few demon slayers came to visit this morning, and I heard that Kikyo-sama was not here, so I said I would come back in the evening!"
One of the villagers stood up and said to Kikyo.
"Demon Slayer, what is it for?"
Although they are also people who destroy youkai, the shrine maidens have always been different from those who accept the hires to exterminate demons, so they generally don't have much to do with each other, and Kikyo is a little curious. But she didn't think much of it, anyway, they would come back in the evening, and she would know when the time came.
At this time, about twenty miles away, Inuyasha had already killed the three mountain ghosts who were playing, and was ready to recharge his energy and continue his journey tomorrow.
"I've been looking for decades, but I still haven't found the Jade of the Four Souls, but forget it, as long as it hasn't been taken away by the monsters, I still have a chance. However, what I am more concerned about is the strange curse this afternoon, I should not have made any enmity with the witches and mages all these years, and they can't know my name or my hair or anything, and that curse doesn't seem to kill people, it's not complete, but unfortunately I don't have any research on curses, otherwise I would know what it is, well! What do you want to do so much, the curse has been removed anyway, and my family currently only has one Sesshomaru left, and it's too late for me to be happy that guy is unlucky! Hey! â
Inuyasha remembered the strange curse today, and laughed smugly, he also didn't expect that the other side of the curse could indeed be regarded as his family, but it was not Sesshomaru, but his future lover.
In the evening, it finally started to rain in the sky, and not long after Kaede called Kikyo back to the house, the demon slayer who braved the heavy rain arrived.
"Kikyo-sama, the Jade of the Four Souls is entrusted to you!"
The village chief of the Demon Slayer Village handed the filthy Jade of the Four Souls to the powerful and gentle witch in front of him, and lowered his head deeply. Since getting the Jade of the Four Souls, the number of attacks by monsters in the Demon Removal Village has been increasing, and the monsters that come are getting stronger and stronger, I believe that those powerful monsters who have heard the news of the Jade of the Four Souls in the distance will soon come here, as long as the Jade of the Four Souls is still in the village or the evil spirit of the Jade of the Four Souls has not disappeared, and after hearing the news that the pure witch can purify the Jade of the Four Souls from somewhere, the village chief began to look for someone who can purify the Jade of the Four Souls, And the shrine maiden Kikyo, whose rumored power can be compared to Tsuiko hundreds of years ago, naturally became the best candidate.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect the Jade of the Four Souls and purify it thoroughly, from now on, it will be my mission!"
Holding the filthy Jade of the Four Souls in his hand, Kikyo understands his mission in his heart and purifies it! Be sure to purify it! She knew that after that, it meant that I had to fight more youkai, but it was her responsibility as a shrine maiden, not only the people of this demon slaying village, but also the innocent people who were attacked by youkai because of the jade of the four souls. will be saved by this.
"Sister! What happened! That's ......"
Kaede rubbed his eyes and came out of the room and asked, but immediately saw the jade of the four souls in the palm of Kikyo's hand.
"It's called the Jade of the Four Souls, and they want me to remove the filth from it and purify it! It seems that our lives will not be peaceful in the future! â
At this time, Inuyasha didn't know that the Jade of the Four Souls was no longer in the Demon Village.
