After the arrangements were completed, the robbers were all smiles, reveled, and then lay on the ground in a mess and fell asleep.

Kagome set up a barrier around them, but she sat alone on a stone.

She took out her pocket and opened her hand. There were three pieces of the Four Souls Jade in her palm. At this speed, she would soon meet Naraku.

Kagome rested her hands on her knees, staring blankly at the front, with nothing in her eyes.

It seemed like she was back to the days when she went to Bailing Mountain alone. During that time, her mind was full of searching for the meaning of her existence again. When she was tired, she would find a cave to sleep, and when she woke up, she would continue on her way.

When she looked back, there was no one around her.

Where did Inuyasha go?

How are Sango Miroku and the others now?

Did Qibao practice well?

Di Nian'er is still being bullied. Let's go see him next.

Kagome thought of many people, monsters, and even Kagura and the others.

Sitting until his back and waist ached and his eyelids drooped, he stood up and stretched, "It's time to go to bed."

Jumping down from the stone, his clothes swayed with his large movements. Kagome exclaimed, "Huh?" and pulled up the fabric of her hakama legs, "Burned? Eh... It's from the time of Jie Luo."

Rubbing the scorched fabric, the black clothes were not obvious in the dark. If he hadn't had sharp eyes, he really wouldn't have noticed it.

Kagome sighed, "Zhan Guo is so wasteful of clothes. At this pace, I'll have to go back to get clothes soon."

The scene of Jie Luo's flames burning flashed through his mind. At that time, Kikyo was standing in front of him and holding up the barrier with her hands. Then...

"Kikyo's sleeves seem to be burned more seriously."

The sleeves of the miko's uniform were not long. At that time, her hands were stretched out in front, and the flames went straight to Kikyo. Even if there was a barrier blocking it, the barrier was open at the moment the magic-breaking arrow was shot out.

It must have been burned at that time, Kagome was a little worried, "Then Kikyo's hand..." No, no, no, this must be fine, he has felt it himself.

No.

He slapped his face fiercely, thinking about the moment of social death, "Ah, don't think about it, let's talk about it tomorrow, it's not like we are parting ways, ask again when we meet, it's decided."

A dreamless night.

The next morning, Kagome parted with the robbers and pointed out the direction for them, but just in case, he still cast a curse on these robbers. If they have any bad intentions when they get there, these curses will be enough for them to suffer.

Okay, now I am completely alone.

"Where should I go... How do you mean to find her when Kikyo said?"

Kagome looked up at the sky depressedly, the dazzling sunlight made his eyes sore, and he couldn't help but lower his head and rub his eyes.

While rubbing, he whispered, "Where did Kikyo go..."

"Higurashi-sama."

Eh?

Kagome paused, raised her head, and covered her mouth in surprise. The little boy in front of her, with two ponytails, two gray-green balls, and wearing a red flower kimono, was suspended in the air.

He looked familiar. It was Kikyo's Shikigami, called Asuka.

Doesn't that mean Kikyo really came to find him?

"Higurashi-sama." Asuka called again and introduced, "I am Kikyo-sama's Shikigami. You can just call me Asuka. Kikyo-sama asked me to take you to find her."

His eyes brightened up. That was great. Finally, he didn't have to worry about how to find someone.

"Oh, okay." Kagome quickly got up and took her belongings. In fact, she didn't need to organize them carefully. There were not many things. She stuffed them into her bag after using the washing tools.

She just found a piece of grass and laid a carpet to sleep last night. Because he waited for a long time, he simply confiscated it. The carpet was still on the ground, and now it needed to be folded and packed.

While Kagome was busy, through Asuka's eyes, Kikyo shared the view on the other side.

The scene when Asuka found Kagome was also captured in her eyes.

Kikyo was a little overwhelmed. She lowered her head and touched her lips. Just now...did he cry?

Rubbing her eyes, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. When she looked up and found Asuka, her entire eye sockets were red.

No, it's not that she didn't bring him with her and left him behind. It's not like she won't go find him.

Kikyo frowned and suddenly had a headache. What did she say when she left?

——Come to me when you've dealt with it.

——You'll know then.

It seems...there's a little...twist in what she said.

"Uh." Kikyo closed her eyes. She had met many people who cried, for fear of monsters, for sadness over death, for physical pain...

Never seen one crying like this... Kikyo thought for a long time and couldn't think of how to describe it.

Giving up thinking, she was puzzled, "You're not afraid of monsters."

Why are you crying?

Because...you can't find her?

Kikyo opened her eyes and heard the sound of the shared bird in her ears, the boy's whispered words and theAsuka's eyes lit up after she finished speaking.

Her expression was slightly stunned.

After a long while, her voice rang out slowly, sighing helplessly, "...What a fool."
