【Inuyasha】White Moonlight and Vermillion Mole

"...You too."

A strong push came from her chest, and Kagome suddenly realized that the posture between him and Kikyo seemed a little abnormal.

One leg was completely pressed on Kikyo's legs. Although he was afraid of being taken away by the dead soul bug, he also restrained his strength and used his legs to block the rise of Kikyo.

But... this look is a bit too much.

"Sorry."

Kagome froze and was about to retreat. Thinking of Kikyo's expression just now, he stopped his hand and readjusted his posture.

He knelt up and made sure that he did not exert force on Kikyo, then he gently hugged her.

"Kikyo is Kikyo."

What a ghost.

No matter what he looks like, Kikyo's heart... the heart that wants to protect humans and everyone has never changed.

Being forced to revive with the resentment of the dead was not her original intention. The dead souls collected by the dead soul worms were not absorbed by her to fill and support her body.

If they were attacked forcefully, they would overflow and disperse.

Why was she afraid?

So, Kikyo had always had such a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't get over?

Kagome was silent, he blinked, and the sourness made him bury his head in Kikyo's neck.

The fluffy head scratched Kikyo's cheek. She felt uncomfortable with Kagome's sudden hug, and then she was stunned after the sentence "Kikyo is Kikyo".

With her hands hanging at her sides, Kikyo's eyes lit up.

Did you think so?

Then, a muffled voice came to her ears.

"I'm sorry..."

Hmm? Kikyo's eyes were puzzled, "Why... apologize?"

Kagome raised her head slightly, took a deep breath, and her chest felt heavy, "Because, I woke you up. If you hadn't been resurrected, wouldn't you have to be trapped in this body, using the dead soul... say yourself..."

He pursed his lips, not wanting to spit out that word.

Neither human nor ghost or anything like that.

No way.

Kikyo frowned slightly, "What are you thinking about?" She had already said that this matter was not his fault.

"Without you, there will still be people who miss my grave because of the Four Souls Jade, not to mention..." She paused, "It is also my responsibility to bring the Four Souls Jade back to this world."

"It was me who didn't take good care of the Four Souls Jade."

Kikyo pushed Kagome away, and this time she didn't push too hard.

"I shouldn't be obsessed with feelings... I was taken advantage of by a shameless person."

"I can't live like a normal person, I long to be an ordinary woman, but in the end... I watch resentment walking in the world with such a grave body."

She chuckled, the laughter was light and light, with lingering sadness.

"Ah... This is not like me at all."

Inuyasha's words seemed like yesterday.

Hearing this, Kagome frowned, "Why do you say it's not like me? Wanting to be an ordinary person, longing for emotions, and Kikyo who was resurrected by resentment... They are all Kikyo, isn't this the thought of a normal person?"

"Because they are human, they have selfishness and distractions, but these are all normal."

He was also trapped in the emotional quagmire between Inuyasha and Kikyo because of his love for Inuyasha, and had the idea of ​​"It would be better if Kikyo disappeared."

Such dark thoughts are something Kagome has never had in more than ten years. She has panicked, been afraid, and questioned... How could she be so bad.

Then he thought again, he was very similar to Kikyo who had just resurrected. He loved someone, wanted to possess him, and didn't want others to interfere.

Isn't this normal?

It's a normal human need.

He had dark and terrible thoughts that he didn't think he would have, and did things that he didn't think he would have but he did.

But... he was him.

He would accompany Inuyasha naturally and silently, and would adjust his mood and understand their feelings.

He was still Kagome.

"Nothing has changed."

Kagome's eyes were like torches, "Kikyo has always been a human."

He wanted to laugh, and he laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Kikyo blurted out in a daze.

"Laughing at you."

Kikyo:?

"...Why?" What's so funny?

"Kikyo who said she wasn't like a normal person, and asked me if I was scared when she was surrounded by dead soul bugs..."

Kagome clenched her fist and coughed twice, turned her head and blinked twice quickly.

"Very beautiful."

She was not as beautiful as the inhuman or ghost she said, but more like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world...

Kikyo opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

So this was the reason why he had been staring at her without blinking before...?

Her hand couldn't help but touch her cheek, "Really... this face can still make people ignore monsters."

Kagome's face turned red again, "No."

"Maybe... it's just me." In the original world,Kikyo's dead soul bug was indeed treated as a monster and was killed.

Thinking of the monk who died in an accident, Kagome immediately corrected her attitude, "Only me!"

No misunderstanding.

He explained seriously, "People in this world are really scared. Kikyo, you said that humans and monsters cannot coexist peacefully, so!"

"Don't doubt yourself. Don't be confused because of fear and terror because of your body... No matter which body, Kikyo is Kikyo."

"Don't say what you look like now--" The words stopped, and after thinking about it, Kagome finally said it, "Don't say you are neither human nor ghost. You are not scary at all."

"Very beautiful."

Very gentle.

Very kind.

The unspoken words were presented with a smile in Kagome's eyes.

Kikyo looked at him for a long time without saying a word.

Kagome let her look at her and smiled at her, but her hands hidden under her sleeves were not calm. They were entangled and nervously clasped left and right.

What is he talking about...

Just comfort her, why did he compliment her beauty for no reason?

Would Kikyo think he was a superficial...man?

If he were still a girl, it would be nice, so she could praise him openly. Although, although it's okay now, it's still because of her gender.

If she hadn't controlled herself quickly, Kagome would have blushed.

Kneeling on the ground awkwardly, the light and shadow cast by the moonlight were dim, and the expressions of the two were unclear, but the light in their eyes was surprisingly bright and consistent.

"Hmph."

Kikyo snorted, stood up, looked down, and smiled, "You're too talkative."

"But...thank you."

"I'm very happy."

Kagome had never seen the dead soul worm. Even Inuyasha knew that she used dead souls to fill her body when Naraku used the red dead soul worm to kill her.

Inuyasha's disbelief and strange eyes deeply hurt her.

She didn't want him to know about her encounter with Kagome, but she was tired of hiding from him all the time, or maybe...she wanted him to see her true condition, the horrible truth under normal circumstances, and then - stay away.

...unwillingly.

A word appeared in her mind.

Kikyo's lips trembled slightly, and her eyes fell on Kagome who stood up happily.

She felt uncomfortable and confused with all kinds of close contact with him, but she didn't reject it. Except for Inuyasha and Kaede, such close contact...

Reincarnation?

Only then did she accept his step-by-step approach.

Kikyo felt something was wrong.

"Then let's go for a walk." Kagome opened her hand, picked a topic at random, and pointed to the sky with a smile, "Kikyo, look, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."
