【Inuyasha】White Moonlight and Vermillion Mole

Passing through the bushes, the road from the Bone-Eating Well to the Sacred Tree is not long, and Kagome soon reaches her destination.

The first thing she sees is the dead soul bug entangled in the sacred tree. Kagome subconsciously looks around, looking for the girl in the shrine maiden costume.

However, after a quick inspection, Kagome frowned, "Kikyo?"

Under the empty tree, only his gentle call could be heard.

The dead soul bug hovered in the air and swam to Kagome's side. Kagome frowned even more and reached out to catch a piece of paper that floated down after the dead soul bug passed by.

There were some beautiful handwriting on the paper. Kagome read it at a glance. She pinched the paper with her finger bones unconsciously and exerted force. When she found that the edge was wrinkled, Kagome rolled her throat and asked the dead soul bug in a dry tone, "Kikyo left... When did she leave?"

Where is she going?

Liar...

You said you would take me with you... You said you would go together...

Liar!

Kagome lowered her head, her slightly long hair covered by the shade of the tree, hiding the emotions in her eyes.

The dead soul worm, which had completed its mission, saw Kagome receive the note, waited for a while but didn't hear any voice, which meant that there was nothing to convey to the owner, so it turned around and swam away, ready to leave.

The white hand tightly grasped the paper, Kagome raised her head, her eyes were surprisingly calm, but deeper in the calm was a dark current, she laughed softly and threw the letter that was crumpled into a ball of paper to the dead soul worm.

The ball of paper hit the head of the dead soul worm that was about to leave, and it was stunned, and turned its head back.

"Since it's a farewell, of course we have to say goodbye in person, leaving a piece of paper and leaving?"

With her brown eyes dimmed, Kagome took a big step, grabbed a few dead soul worms and wrapped them around her body.

He said word by word, "I want it!"

Kagome patted the completely confused dead soul bugs with anger, and said affirmatively, "You know where Kikyo is, take me there."

The dead soul bugs were stunned for only a few seconds, and when they found out, the whole bug was completely entangled with Kagome, well, forced.

They are different from shikigami, they can't pass messages, they can only sense Kikyo's existence and look for dead souls.

In desperation, he took off with Kagome and flew in the opposite direction of Master Mengxin's temple.

Although the flying speed was not as fast as Yunmu, it was not slow. Even so, it still flew from day to dusk.

This discovery made Kagome angry again. Did this woman want to lose contact with everyone and disappear? !

Run so far!

When the feet that had been floating for a long time stepped on the ground, Kagome was in a pile of rocks, surrounded by darkness, not to mention human figures, there was not even a bit of green vegetation.

"Ah!"

Kagome rubbed her nose. She had never felt comfortable since she arrived here. "What's that strange smell?"

"Miasma."

A cold female voice sounded faintly behind her. Kagome curled her fingers. After such a long journey, the fire in her heart was suppressed and became deeper and deeper, evolving into another emotion.

Exhaling a breath, Kagome turned her body and faced Kikyo. She didn't shout or question, but just looked at her quietly.

Kikyo's face was calm, as if the person who left after leaving a farewell letter was not her.

Just like... the concern for Kagome in the past was like a phantom.

Indifferent.

Obviously, she was the first to break the agreement.

It was Kikyo who said, together.

Now, she was also the one who left on her own initiative.

Kagome's throat was tight and her chest was aching. He took two quick breaths to control the soreness in his heart.

Kagome was enveloped by an overwhelming sense of grievance, and her anger was extinguished by a burst of sour rain. Kagome had countless questions, but only one sentence remained in her mouth.

"At least, say goodbye in person."

His gift had not yet been given to her, and the souvenir became a farewell gift.

Seeing Kikyo not speaking and looking at him expressionlessly, Kagome pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "I don't mean anything else, it's just..."

"No need." Kikyo interrupted him, her eyes flickered slightly, the spiritual energy in Kagome's body was enough to purify the miasma around her, but she seemed to be sensitive to this filthy gas, and her nose was a little red.

Eyes narrowed and fell on Kagome's forced smile... Faintly reluctant, this tough explanation softened.

"The dead soul bug has found Naraku's trail. Time is running out, so I'll leave first."

She paused at the end of her words, "...I left a message."

"No!"

"That paper clearly says--" Kagome couldn't help but speak louder, and the empty valley stone wall amplified his voice several times.

Anyone could feel his anger.

Realizing that her volume was out of control, Kagome clenched her fists, pursed her lips, calmed down, and said, "The paper says that you have to leave alone, not that you have to find Naraku, not a word about it.. "

"... I'm not sure if it's fake news."

"So, you came here even though you knew it might be a trap set by Naraku? Alone? And you asked me-- asked me not to follow you..."

At the end, Kagome's voice trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes, "Do you know? Kikyo, you really, are very worrying... You disappeared without a word."

He said he was saying goodbye in person, but in his heart he was also worried about whether Kikyo had been kidnapped by Naraku. Kikyo's weakness was too obvious. Once the dead souls in her body left... Wasn't her experience with the red dead soul worm enough to be vigilant?

Kikyo was silent for a moment, "No."

"Huh?" What's not?

Kagome was stunned.

"No one disappeared without a word." She left a note, "I left a note for everyone. "

Kikyo remembered Miroku, Inuyasha, and Coral, although... she did hide some things.

However, there is no need. As she said, there is no need to make a big fuss about this kind of thing, to be known and used... like last time.

Kikyo looked at Kagome in front of her, overlapping with the bloody and weak person in her memory, and her eyes darkened.

There is no need.

Kakyo was choked by this stubbornness and stared at her speechlessly, "You..."

It's not about leaving a note or not, it's about whether she is ready to challenge Naraku alone!

...Of course, he was also angry that Kikyo said they would go together, but it was only a short time before the agreement to Inuyasha's father's grave? Did she forget it?

Kikyo looked straight at him, and unlike the subtle evasion a day ago, she returned to her usual naturalness.

Are you not afraid anymore?

"Forget it," Kagome didn't want to mention this sad thing, and changed the subject rigidly, "Are there traces of Naraku here? "

Let him see what this place is, why Kikyo came here alone, don't think he doesn't know, it must be another dangerous place, some information she deliberately concealed.

"Hmm, huh?"

It doesn't matter if you look at it, Kagome's heart trembles, and she opens her mouth slightly in shock, "This is..."

The place where Naraku's new body is cultivated.

That... Kagome raised her head suddenly, and on the dark and towering mountain in front, a familiar cave stood in the middle.

The time when Kikyo was kidnapped by Naraku again.

"Huh!" Kagome took a quick breath from the memory, turned around and wanted to hold Kikyo's hand, "Kikyo! Naraku is in the middle of the mountain, there are hundreds of monsters inside... Eh? !"

Her hand reached for nothing.

"Kikyo?"

Kagome called softly, but no one responded.

There was nothing in front of her, and I don't know when the black and purple miasma spread around, and an ominous atmosphere enveloped her heart.
